She is an armored cruiser, 9,215 armor, belt 3 in., _deck 3 to 6 m There is probably only one serious objection to mixed farming, and that is it may get too mixed, caused by the farmers undertaking too much, and as a consequence too many things are needing to be done at once, and unless extra. help is hired something will be neglected. In mixed farming a variety of cropl‘ are grown: and different kinds of stock kept. to which more orleas oi the crops produced are ted. When mixed farming is followed to a. new cmiderable extent, the farm thoulcl‘he made to at leuat produce as much as mains of all that is needed for the table and for the stock. so that as little. as possible will need to be pur- Guitar“. One ',,'hW, reason for mixed tanning is the sale , of it. There is less risk of complete failure. The farmer u in about-r condition to live if his crops partially fail, if he must accept low prices for his stock and therefore has but little motley. Growing a variety of products he can feed hit stock more economically nnd to better advantage. and having a. variety 'of stuck he can use all that thofarm produces to good advantage and with little waste. _ .. . .,.1......An...nu in and wnn IlLllU "now. One of the decided advantages in mixed farming is that it affords a much better opportunity in every 9 ay to maintain the fertility of the (arm. It is "My under special conditions that it pays to buy fertilizers. The great- er bulk. if even it is needed to maintain the fertility, should be producpd‘on . m J b..-. “I'I‘l' “If. It pays Iu nu; u.....-‘._. er bulk if even it is needed to maintain the fertility, should be produced on the farm from stock and by plowing- under green urups, saving the plant food in the soil as much as possible by carrying out a system of rotations. There is at least one advantage in special farming, and that in, the farm- er feeling that his whole dependence is in his specialty, will give it more careful attention than the farmer that. with several crops, feels that it one thing fails he has something else to {all beckon and this has atendeney to make him careless. TREATMENT OF SWAMPY GROUND. i A. W. B. has a piece of meadow land i that cannot be plowed except during a I dry mason. Two years ago he plowed i it and seeded to oats. Last year he l, planted to corn and lost the crop. He f wants to know how to treat the land. I As far a: my experience goes nothing l, but a grass crop should be attempted l (tn-this kind of land. Frequently the finest crop of corn can he raised, hut when it romeo to the question ot rur- ing in the shock the result is, as 'a, rule, a. failure on account of the sur- face moisture which is always pres- ent and which will mount the inner ”my and fibrous substance even to the grain. rendering proper drying im- ‘poewible. The oat crop in a similar 1 nay would fail because ofthe too rapid succulent growth. and before the crop was ready for fodder or grain much of it would be tlat and worthless. Seed to grass in August. In the meantime get quite an accumulation of manure. together with a good ad- mixture ot sand.

B. has other land more favorably located for cultivation it would pay better to let this wet land alone until it an be worked into a favorable con- ditiou. Underrdraining is the only treatment which will get the land in- to condition to produce annual crops.

MIXED FARMING. g is followed to xtent. the farm loam, produce as I that is needed .,215 tons, 400 6 feet long, 64 feet beam, 6 in. l barbettes, 8 in.; turrets, 5 1-2 in. y, twelve six-pounders, four ontrpounder's will depend somewhat upon the na- tare of the work and somewhat on the season of the year. The harder ' the horse is being worked, it would be correct to say, the larger the pro- l lportion of corn that may be given to him, and the colder the. weather, the 1 more corn. relatively, he may be fed. l But to keep the system in tone, he , should be given oats and corn, and it ( some bran can he added, heavy feed- I ing can be continued with safety for _ a longer period than in the absenee of bran. When horses are being worked hard, they will do very well on a. grain ration in winter, two-thirds of which is com, and in summer, on a grain ration, one-third or one-half of i which isrorn. But it one-fourth tri one-fifth of the grain ted is bran, there is much less danger of digestive i, derangement than when bran is notl ted. So advantageous is bran to the grain food, that the aim should be to teed some of it during much of thel ‘year. The proportions named above! Irelate to shelled corn and to weight; ’rather than bulk. It would not bei very material whether the corn, oats l and bran are all mixed before feeding, l l or whether they are fed separately; l but even a horse tires of sameness; , hence it may serve. some useful end, I as whetting the appetite, to feed the corn and oats separately. that is to ' say. to feed the corn morning and _ levening in winter, and the oats at i (noon, and in the summer to feed the moat» morning and evening, and the ) ‘corn at noon. The bran could be fed ‘with one or the other ot these grains. l A horse weighing 1.201) pounds should k 8 require about fifteen to eighteen , pounds of grain per day, that is to . may, five or six pounds at each of the L lthree feeds; but care should be taken .. ito lessen the amount of food when the l lwork slwkens and' in proportion as it b l Bloc-hens. ! PRESERVING EGGS FOR WINTER i PRICm. l Some one has said the fancier has E no right to preserve eggs at any sen- 1than; that it is his business to provide 'tstrictly fresh eggs the year round 'saya a writer. Nevertheless, a great l, many (ancient. as well as a great many Hammers. do preserve eggs every sea- MMI. for with the coming of every winter there in a scarcity of eggs and a. correspondingly high prim. If well preserved they are fit for all purposes. The markets are flooded every summer with nix and eight cent eggs, for there are many who must and will sell them at any price. But preferring to re- ceive tor the surplus of summer and early fall eggs 20 to 25o. per dozen, I preserve them and find that it pays. The ravine given beiow is very good The recipe given beiow is very good i for preserving eggs. although it takes ' considerable work to prepare it. Ipto, 24 gallons of boiling Water put 12 lbs. of unslavked lime and 4 lbs of barrel, salt. Stir frequently, for one day, The next day dip Mt the olezu' liquid; and. put it into stone jars. Dissolve) the following ingredients, in one gal- lon of boiling water and add to the Move liquid: Five. or, common baking soda. 5 oz cream of tartar, 5 oz salt- peter, 5oz horax anclloz alum. Drop the eggs into this brine every day, as gathered. Eggs greased with fresh lard and put down in salt keep well. l'se cracker boxes, or others of about that size. as these are light enough to be easily handled. Turn the box half over two or three times a week. Were I a. village housewife I am very sure that a goodly supply of eggs. for culinary purposes at least. would be preserved when they are but six, eight or ten cents per dozen.
