FARM AND GARDEN. Tarkey Ralsing on the Farm Albany Poultry Monthly, Turkeys can bo raised and fed at very little expense, if the right kind of management is brought to heat up on their culture. Tt will not ‘-n_\ to keep them in limited places and feed them by hand from the shell to the time of killing. But to make a specialty of raising turkeys for mar ket one should breed from the largest and best stock, and feed them well till the poults “‘shoot the red.” Tt hatching time all the eggs, if pos sible, should be set about the same time. Those hatched under hens should be put with the main flocks un der the care of the turkey mothers When large enough to travel safely the turkeys with their young flocks should be driven into the meadows, orchards or pastures, away from the grain_fields, where they can procure grasshoppers, grubs and other insects, until the crops are harvested, when they may be allowed to go where they please. When cold weather sots in, 1 fow woeks of steady feeding will put the earliest maturing birds in a good condition for marketing at Thanksgiv ing time, Sorghum Cnlture. iculturalist Western A The sorghum has regained its popu larity and made practical advance all over the west. With experience in cultivating and making up with all our improved machinery and with the Early Amber and other” improved va- ricties of cane, it is not surprising that we are now able to make large quantities of syrup that is pure, and supply large (uanitities of soft sugar to the sugar refineries, and at prices per acre that pay handsomely. Fxpe- rience proves that any of our common s0il, not necessarily the richest, is well adapted to sorghum growing. A wi underdrained field is desirable; thor- ough culture in hills or drills, if the ground is proviously well prepured for sceding, the seed must be planted very shallow. Proesident Garfleld's Farm American Traveller. Gen, Garfield’s farm contains 155 acres, all under cultivation except a fow acres of timber. It lies 25 miles east of Cloveland, fronting on the old wagon-road from Cleveland to Buffalo, and the Lake Shore railroad runs through it. The soil is a rich, sandy loam, and is very productive. The fences are kept in good repair and are the best in the township When General Garfield purchased the farm, about four years aro, thero were cight acres of swamp land near the centre of it, which was considered almost worthless. The general's knowledge of engineering here came into practical use, and under his personal super- vision the swamp was drainea. 1t is now very valuable land. Besides, the drains furnish a constant and abundant supply of pure water, which, by means of a hydraulic ram, is forced up to the elevated site of the house and barn, where it is used. This very simple and inexpensive kind of water works, is a model farm im- provement, which might be adopted with advantage by many farmers The general has a herd of twenty-si. mostly grade short horns, but tl re aro three Jersoy cows and one thoroughbred Jersey bull. The lat- ter was presentod to Gene Garfield by Hon. A. Howitt The milk from General Garfield’s dairy is carted to the railway station every morning and ovening, and ship- ped to the Cleveland market. N the barn is a small building, in which is kept a steam engine, used for saw- ing wood, cutting feed for the stock, eote, Besides the stock already men- tioned there are ecighteen Cotswold sheep and a dozen swine of the Berk- shire and Poland China breed. Not- withstanding the all depredations to visitors, very fair crops were har- vested as a result of last seasons 'work From fifteen acres of corn there we husked 1,030 bu aeres of wheat averaged JJs per acre; Dbushels; 8 cres weres of sted 78 tons of hay, and 2 acres of mangelwurzels yieldod D00 bushels. There is also a small buckwheat crop not yet thrashed. There is also a small orchard, which bore this year about 500 bushels of apples. The farm, with the improve- ments made on it by Gen. Garfield, is estimated to be worth 25,000, Goen, Garfield has the reputation among his neighbors of being u good farme > of the best, indeed, in that region, where gaod farmers abound. Stock Raising. Stock raising has always been an important western interest, but never before has there been such an enthu- siasm of universal stock raising as’ at resent. The farmer is a stockman, ho breeds, feeds, sells and trades stock to convert the profits of farming into cash. While many farmers raise all kinds of stock, horses, cattle, sheep, and hogs, profitably, there are others who concentrate their efforts on some favorite breed as a specialty, with marked success. All are, however, now well agreed on one point, that is, that the improved s s o) financially the best. The old prejudice against iy farming, improved machiner; proved stock, has given place to agen eral adoption of 1ntelligent far labor saving machinery, and stock, We could no longer raise g in the old way, without our machin- ur{ for planting, harvesting, ete., and sell it at present prices, nor would we have any to sell to the European mar- kets. It is just so with our stock. Were we confined to our scrub stock alone, where would be the profits of our draft or thoroughbred horses; our choice grade export beef or fine dairy cows; our improved breods of sheop that have mm{u sheep breeding profit- able when it was well nigh sbandoned for want of profit in serub sheep; and, last but not least our early maturing pigs, a favorite on almost every farm, hile every farmer does not raise full blood or thoroughbred stock, no farmer can afford to use any but a full blood male. Then his stock rapidly inproves, and his profits improve in proportion.+ This grading up has been the success of this farm stock prosper- ity, and when a farmer has thus im- proved his stock he takes good care of xt,‘}:mvidu good shelter, feed, water and pasturage in abundance. Then stock breeding is profitable. Our broad acres are constantly im- })mved by stock raising, while grain larming requires greater labor, and as our eastern states testify, it impover: ishes the soil ose who have lived at the east know what worn-out farms { They know there is a groat deal of hard work andvery little profit |in cultivating such.

It is a fact well known to all fruit growers that certain varieties of apple, | ar, and plum trees produce vory | crops on alternate years, but | very light crops on the succeeding one. | In fact, some kinds of fruit trees can | not be relied upon to produce crops on certain years. The odd years | re the fruitful ones for some kinds of | , and the even years for others. | Mr. Douglas, of Waukegan, has re- | cently called attention to the fact that | nut-producing trees bear bountifully | some years, and very sparingly, if at all, the succeeding seasons, although ars peculia sl or | to the prodiction of fruit. ces that produce very ops | one year appea: to suffer a drain on | their vitality, so that one scason is re. quired in which to recuperate, It of- | ten happens that nearly all the trees in an orchard are of a few varietios that bear the same yoar, The owner has an abundance of fruit that season, but little or none the next. Various attempts have been made to change the so-called “hearing years” of fruit troes soas to produce heavy crops on those seasons when there is generally a failure, David Flanders, of Sing Sing, N. Y., thinks he has discovered a process for securing this result, and like most persons who havea new idea on a practical subject, has obtained a patent on it. This process consists in applying to the blossoms of the trees in the spring of the bearing yoars, by sprinkling or otherwise, an _acid or ai- kaline solution of suflicient strength to arrest the development of the blos- soms or destroy their vitality, and to cause them to gradually fall off. The solution, of whatever kind, is so dilute that it will not injure the foliage or branches of the trees that are so treat- ed. The inventor does not state wheth- er it is necessary to treat trocs in this way every second year or not. But probably it is not necessary. ‘This in- vention o discovery may ho a vory valuable one, but it is hardly likely that the owner of the patent will reai- ize o fortune from it. There is great difficulty in preventing persons from infringing on a patent that involyes the use of chemical substances, and this is especially the case when they are employed outside of a manufacto- ry.

We will never con- sent to have the government sell our lands to the whites, We cannot sell it ourselyes, but we can always rent it, and live on the rent, and let the white folks do the work. AN EDUCATED INDIAN WIFE, Aboye MeAllister, in the Indian na tion, I saw a big prairie, -which they call Ream's Bottom.

The growth of this society since its orgamzation in January last, has far cceded the anticipations ot its friends, Ttw growth is such now, that | it holds the bal of power between | the political partics. | Of the 243 alliances now « nized, only 66 have thus far paid any dues to the state we. The annual due is very small, only ten cents per mem ber, but if it were promptly paid, the state office would be able to do a large unt of efficient work for the cause. But without money, this work must remain in abeyance, Calls for read ing matte constant, and it is a source of gr ot that this want The total r date arc $1 pts of this oftice to ; total expenditures, 8856.27; balance on hand, $34.68. The secretary filed a bond with good sureties in the sum of 82,000, with the chairman of the executive com- mittee, which will remain in force un- til his responsibility shall cease. Secretaries are requested to see that the enclosed petitions are signed by every farmer in their respective locali- ties, whether members of the alliance or not. Send the petitions, as soon as filed, to this office for consolidation. We wish to send the names of 56,000 Nebraska farmers to December session, Your attention is earnestly invited to the imy o of annual meeting, to be held at Lincoln on the Tth day of September next. It is believed that measures may be certed at this mecting, which will en- able us, while maintaining our non- inations of the political parties in our interest. To enable as to control the government of this state one year from next fall, when the state officers are to be clected, and a U. 8. Senator chosen for six yesrs, it is important that our friends should fill the county offices this fall. In localities where nominating conventions are held be- fore the date of our annual meeting, our members are earnestly requested to consult together, and by united of- forts at the primaries and elsewhere, secure the nomination of members of the Alliance, or those who are in active sympathy with us, who are not- tonly honest and reliable, but who will by their efliciency reflect credit upon the society, and aid in the con- centration aud cducation of public opinion upon the vital points of public policy, we aim to control. The election of incapable or dishonest men for public positions will reach .disas- trously against us. Tt is important that we should, by the moderation and justice of our de- mands, and by convincing all people that our interests as farmers are iden- tical with the interests of all other classes, enlist the conservative and in- dependent voters on our side. By adhering to our non-partizan attitude, and by confining our political action to those points alone in which the in- terests of all our members of whatever party are identical, our success will be assured. Tt is to be hoped that this course will commend itself toall mem- bers of the alliance, and that eve: alliance in the state will send delegates sur annual meeting. The ratio of | representation is one delegate for each 0, and one additios delegate ch twenty-five members of such | rdinate alliance, County Alliances have been a source of some embarrassment to the oftice of the state alliance. There isno y vision in the national or state constitu- tion for such bodie Efforts ha been made by political cliques in some county seats to gain control of the or- ganization through the means of coun- ty alliances. It was therefore determ- ined that no more charters should be granted to such bodies; but where it was desirable to form them, it should be done by voluntary association of the subordinate allianeds of the county. County alliances can assume no juris- diction and claim on dues. Tt i of the utmost importance that article VIL of the constitution; limit- ing mombership to *“practical opera- tive farmers,” should be adhered to. The prominent place which our movement has assumed in the public eye, and the power which it may wield in the near future, imposes correspond- ing obligations upon its members. Therefore, while we press forward with renewed zeal in our just cause, let us sacredly regard the rights and just interests of all classes of our citi- zons, While demanding that the ex- tortions of monopolies shall cease — that monopolies, as such, shall no longer oxist—lot us not forget the sa- cred rights ot property. While labor- ing for reform, let us remember that our principles must gain the sanction of an enlightened public opinion, be- fore they can seoure the force of law, Seerotaries ave requested to report to this office the number of members of their respective Alliances by the tirst day of August next. In correspondence, always give the number of your Allisuce. Yours very respectfully, J. Burgows, Secretary of the State Alliance.
