the direction of the hair. Tie the animal so 
that she cannot rub the blistered surface with 
her mouth. When the blister is well raised 
(12 to 24 hours) carefully wash with Castile 
soap-suds, and anoint daily, until healed, with 
vaseline. Repeat this blister if necessary, or, 
this failing, try firing in points with the hot 
iron. At the outset it would be well to have ap¬ 
plied a high-heeled shoe to relieve the strain. 
PROPAGATING RASPBERRIES, ETC. 
W. H. L., Harrisonburg , Co.—The best and 
most rapid way of propagating raspberries is 
by root cuttings. Take up the plants in the 
fall and cut the roots into pieces from one to 
three inches long. Then prepare boxes by 
boring holes in the bottom to insure drainage, 
placing little stones or bits of crock over them. 
Then cover with two inches of soil, then a 
layer of the root cuttings, and so on until the 
box is full. Bury this box in any dry soil so 
deep that the roots will not be frozen, It is 
well to cover with boards to carry off the 
water. In the Spring plant the roots in rich 
soil about three inches apart in drills, covering 
them three inches deep. If the cultivating is 
to be done with a horse, the drills should be 
three feet apart; if by hand, 18 inches. It is 
well to cover with mulch after planting to in¬ 
sure moisture. Of course, the cuttings may be 
made in the early Spring, but Mr. A. 8. Fuller 
and other authorities prefer Fall as the roots 
callus during the Winter and thus start more 
readily. The Meshannock Potato is the same 
as Mercer we believe. It is not offered for 
sale that we know of. 
MAKING AND KEEPING A PERMANENT MEADOW. 
C. P., Trenton, N. Y .—A well fertilized 
piece of land has been seeded down with oats 
as a permanent meadow so long as it can be 
kept so without barnyard manure—soil, a 
gravelly loam—can the laud be kept in good 
heart by the use of commercial fertilizers? 
How should it be treated? 
Ans. —There will be no difficulty in keeping 
a permanent meadow in good condition if the 
right grasses and the proper treatment are 
used. There are Blue Grass meadows iu Ken¬ 
tucky that hnve been in use for aceutury, and 
others in Europe tliat are buudre ds of years 
old. Orchard Grass fields 40 years old are 
now in good condition and promise to continue 
so as long in the future. Orchard Grass, 
Meadow Fescue. Perennial Rye Grass, Yellow 
Oat Grass, Kentucky Blue Grass and Ti mothy, 
at the rate of six pounds of each per acre, will 
make a very good selection of seed. If the 
land is thoroughly well prepared liefore secsl¬ 
ing, and the grass is kept reasonably well 
manured or fertilized and a little fresh seed is 
given ever 3 r three or four years, the meadow 
may be exacted to last a lifetime. 
TEATS GROWN TOGETHER. 
S. E. B. JSndora , Kan .—My two yearling 
heifers have teats grown together, caused, I 
think, by their sucking each other. In other 
respects the teats are all right. Is there a 
remedy ? 
Ans. —If only slightly grown together they 
may be carefully dissected apart with a sharp 
knife, and kept apart until healed, by a light 
bandage around the bod}’ with a separate 
opening for each teat. Slight bleeding may 
be cheeked by touching the surface with a stick 
of lunar caustic or a solution of copper sul¬ 
phate. While healing apply daily a dressing 
of vaseline, or an ointment made by mixing 
equal parte of almond oil and spermaceti. The 
operation should be performed before the 
heifer comes in milk. 
STERILE COW AND BULL. 
M. ft. S,, Pine Bluff, Ark .—A 10-year-oUlcow 
took the bull In Jan. 1885, but she has never since 
been with calf. She has been in good health 
all the time and still gives milk; can anything 
be done for her? A two-year-old grade Jersey 
bull, well formed and rendering good service 
apparently, fails to get calves; is he likely to 
continue worthless? 
Ans. —There is probably no cure for either 
case. Before condemning them, however, it 
would do well to consult a competent veterin¬ 
ary surgeon, since the cause of the sterility 
may be removable. 
Miscellaneous. 
“Hired Man,” Kirkland, III .—The inquiry 
about workiug corn is not one we can answer 
decisively. The laud may or may not have 
been too wet. Harm wing young corn cer¬ 
tainly pulls up many plaute, and that’s the end 
of them. If merely broken off, they would 
continue to grow. We do not think that the 
soil thrown into the young leaves’ “caps” 
would deprive the plants of any moisture. 
R. U. M., Dell Boy, Ohio .—The squash grub 
borer can be driven away by using a solution 
of two ounces of saltpeter in 1% gallon of 
water. The liquid is poured around the stem 
and roots with the double effect of killing the 
bugs and fertilizing the plaute. Soot blown 
through bellows upon the vine and roots is 
also recommended. Gypsum and kerosene, in 
the proportion of two quarts of the former 
and a tablespoonful of the latter, sprinkled on 
the vines, will prove effective. 
P. S. B., FtdinviUe , N. Y .—What ails my 
1'2-year-old horse? He is in good condition 
and has always boon a good worker; but now, 
after working well a few hours, ho acts as if 
tired and weak—breathing short and quick. 
He eats all right, except that he will pull his 
hay out on the floor and eat with his head 
down. Slabbers considerably. 
Ans, —From your description it is impossi¬ 
ble to say definitely. Try turning the horse 
on pasture for three or four hours daily, or 
feeding grass, roots or mashes twice daily. 
Work moderately, uud when the animal shows 
signs of fatigue, take him from the harness 
and let him rest. For the slabbering examine 
the teeth to see that none are diseased or de¬ 
cayed. The pulse is normal ? 
J. C. O ., Somerset, Ky .—What is the proper 
time to cut Clay Cow-peas for fodder and to 
l>e plowed under as green manure? 
Ans. —The best ti me to cut Cow peas for fod¬ 
der Is when they are in blossom, or when the 
blossom is beginning to fade. The plant then 
contains the largest quantity of nutritous sub¬ 
stance, which is chiefly sugar. After this, the 
soluble carbonaceous matter is converted into 
indigestible cellulose or woody filter. As the 
most benefit from green manuring is derived 
from its action upon the soil during its decom¬ 
position, and the nitrogen it contributes, a 
green manure crop should be plowed in at the 
same period as that in which it is most valu¬ 
able for feeding; viz. when in fullest blossom. 
This applies to all sorts of green manure crops. 
C. C, M., Akron, Ohio .—My six-months-old 
pig eats heartily, and is all right except that 
it walks lame and is cross-legged in its front 
feet; what should be done? 
Ans. —Give it. two tablespoonfuls of castor 
oil. Feed sjwmngly, especially of grain. 
Green food and milk, with slops from the kite 
chen, will be good. If convenient turn into a 
dry, shady yard or field. 
G. W. D., Clyde, Texas. —1. There is no 
way of budding grapes. 2. Grajies that thrive 
iu your section are Concord, Cyuthiana, Dela¬ 
ware. Goethe, Herbemout, Lady, Lindley, 
Martha, Moore's Early, Norton’s Virginia, 
Perkins and Triumph. Agawam, Brighton, 
Early \ ictor, Elvira. Hartford, Iona, Ives, 
Mussasoit, Mcrriruac, Noah, Prentiss do well 
in parts of Texas. 
J. A. IF., Maple Grove, Out., Can.— 
Personally we know nothing of the Kelsey 
Japan Plum. Mr. Kelsey of Cal., imported it 
from Japan, in 1871. It is said to lie over-pro¬ 
ductive, and to bear early. The fruit is large, 
heart-shaped, yellow and red. It is of good 
quality. Perhajis Dr. Hoskins, orsome of our 
Canada friends, will tell us as to its hardiness. 
J. G., Washington , N. C.— About bagging 
grapes:—We fancy cloth bags induce mildew 
Paper bags cost from ?1 to *2 per thousand— 
what are known as two or three-pound bags, 
as needed. Our experience is to bag when the 
berries are the size of No. 5 shot.

DISCUSSION. 
M. R. S., Pine Bluff, Ark.— The Rural 
(page 828 in Farmer's Club) says: “The peach 
tree bears fruit only on the young shoots of 
the current year’s growth.” It is evidently 
meant that the fruit buds were formed on the 
young shoots. 
P- N.-Y. We meant to have written “pre¬ 
ceding” instead of “current”
