In the sum* mer of 1873 my father laid common, pump logs, made of white pine, toS«A*' duct water from the bottom of a cistern to a trough in a yard below, A stop* cock was placed at the end in the cis­ tern and operated by a red running to f etop. In this way the lower end of e pipe, being left open, was exposed the air, and several {lengths next the trough had to be replaced several times; but four or five rods from the eud, where the pipe was buried about four feet deep,*ft was found in the summer o f 1889 (er offer sixteen jears), to be; perfectlysound. A t this point we at­ tached galvanised iron pipe to conduct water into the basement of the new barn which stands near. Ihavonot the i m ! least fear that the wooden pipe, will not last as long as the iron: It Is- laid- in heavy yellow clay; possibly in sandy or gravelly soil enough air might reach it to cause decay. A description of our waterworks may interest "some of your Readers. The water is first pumped from a well into a large cistern by means of a wind­ mill. The cistern is located on the hill­ side above, the barn, so that the water is conducted into the basement, but, unfortunately, not high enough to en­ able it to rise above1the floor o f the horse-stable except when the cistern is full. We have a common pitcher pump to raise the water for the horses. In the covered yard or “ cows’ bedroom” there is a large trough with a self-act­ ing valve which always keeps the trough full, 1have attempted to show the srrangementTn >the sketch, Fig. 1. J Intended When we first put in the EKD OV WATER TROUGH. piping to get n valve with float, etc., at the plumber’s; but when I found the price was $0 . 1 concludedeither tomake one myself or get along without the luxury. I took a common stop-cock and made a leVer of three-eighth-inch iron to fit it, and stapled the end to a bloek of pine eight inches square and about a foot long. This arrangement has been in use nearly a year, has al­ ways kept the trough lull, and has not been touched. Of course, tho cattle had to hb fenced away from the end of the trough containing the valve. A fence is bnilt around the trough so that ‘the cattle cannot get into .< ,or foul the water, but have to put their heads under a two-by-six-inch plank to reach it. See Fig. 3.—Cor. ltural New Yorker. How to Manure for Onions. As to manures, onions are great feed­ ers and like something to select from. I advise applying at least ten cords of barnyard manure per acre, or its equiv­ alent. Farmers in tho vicinity of Bos­ ton use twenty cords of stable manure, but I think it better to use half the quantity of manure, and the other half -in commercial fertilisers, or, cheaper yet, to usb oil fertiliser. The latter can be applied at any period of growth, but there is danger from using a phos­ phate continuously. - In. Bermuda the onion growers use part sea manure and part commercial fertilizers, One of my neighbors uses ten cords, of a mixture 6f barnyard manure, sea manure and night soil, a very concentrated manure, ' probably equ&htodoublc the quantity of ordinary barnyard manure. 1 rec­ ommend tlie application of three hun­ dred pounds of nitrate of soda per acre jnst as the crop begins to bottom; or, If the crop looks feeble, a. complete fer­ tiliser may be Used. In all farming a good deal of manure seems to be misap­ plied, and 1 suggest the ude of less manure and more of commercial fertil­ izer,—j . J. H. Gregory, in Farm and Home.- . ■: TUB animals that are to have young should he given good, clean, airy, com­ fortable quarters. Thai fact ought to commend Itself to everybody. FARMYARD MANURIE- W mi Meet- o f Pravwriia* ;■ ,4 JgJtresqfh.' : isevident thetferm qr gpiraal m e* Urdmust be the principal dependence for keepingup fertility of the soil. The use of commercial fertilizers and green crops, as aids, is often advantageous, hut they should not be relied upon ex­ clusively, It is an item of considerable Importance tetm«k<q Save pnd apply all themanure possibles but at the same tims it is also an item to do the work as economically as possible. ' The soluble parts of the manure are muchmore valuable, and for this reason it is important to use plentyo f material os absorbents, so as to retain alt of the liquid and readily soluble portions. For the sumo reason it is also important to see that the manure is properly pro­ tected from rahb as [this causes a loss by l£s»htag *m»l evaporation,' ancf if manure- is thrown iuto' hlilf to rot, it should be protected from leaching rains. Another item in rotting before haul­ ing out is that during fermentation manure throws off organicmatter in a gaseous form and unless considerable care is taken in handling there will he loss of nitrogen. Some use gypsum, spreading in layers as the manure is thrown.on, in order to assist in retaining the nitrogen. v . The most effectual plan of prevent­ ing loss is to haul the manure and scat­ ter directly on the fields where it is needed. I f the ground is plowed there wi)l be a very small loss of plant food inany form. 0&sta*p hillside* where there Is a strong liability to wash, there may l>e some loss; on land tliut is rea­ sonably lerel there will be little if any loss, the valuable parts being taken up and retained by the soil. . Of course well rottpd manure contains a larger per cent, of soluble matter, and will be of less benefit to the succeeding crops than whenapplied fresh. It requires time to thoroughly rot manure whether in pile* in the yard, or in the field. There is more work -and more risk of loss by piling and rotting before haul­ ing out, and especially so if left with­ out protection; but if properly handled it will decay in less time. The more thoroughly the manure Is rotted and fined the more readily,it can be incor­ porated,with the soU, and the better the immediate results secured. Which­ ever plan is followed care must be taken to avoid waste, and at the same time lessen the cost of handling,— l ’rairle Fenner. • . GOOD PRUNING SHEARS. Just the filing far lb»*i>b«rrlei« Currants mid OooaelMtrrlm. ' The accompanying picture represents a pair o f pruning shears both open and shut which 1 have used for two years with entire satisfaction. I -am sure I can do more work with them ' than with anything I ever tried. They come very handy for pruning all kinds of bush fruits, such as raspberries, black­ berries, currants and gooseberries. Thesc-shears cut both ways—that is, when the bandies are open and when shut.' The only drawback to their use, perhaps, is the price. The least I can have them made for is S3.50.—Fopnhir Gardening. - , l.iibelliiK anil K cgliiteriu c Trues. Many orehardists andowners of fruit gardens have set out fruit trees to some extent during the past autumn; the labels giving tlicir names being ex­ posed to wind and weather during the. whole winter, have either become de­ tached or defaced before another year,, says the Country Gentleman. Some­ times the names.arc neglected for a few years, and when the new kinds begin to bear, then for the first time it is discovered that they, are gone. There are two •easy remedies for all. this trouble: Register the names In 'a common account book, which you fre­ quently turn to; and put on zinc la­ bels, which we have described on some former occasions, consisting merely of a narrow strip of sheet-zinc, a few inches long, with thenarrow endpassed once around tho side branches. The name, written on the slightly rusted face with p. common lead pencil, w ill. last a life time. __________ The Hunt Is None Too Good. No breeder or farmer should believe or accept ns a fact that any breed of Swine or any individual animal is per­ fect, Says f,lie National Stockman. The force or strength of the meaning of the word “ thoroughbred” iiicreases with the improvement of the quality of the animals. No one realize* the worth of the adage that “ the best is none too good” v^ith more force than the true fancier and breeder.
