6 POOGHEEEPSIE SEMI-WEEKLY EAGLE JULY 3. 1889- IlEM , FIELBAND GAEDEK •OBSERVATIONS AND EXPERIENCES CONCERNING EVERY DAY1VIATTERS. lj3Gportaxi<: \Setcts in B«latlon to the Gtve^ Staple, Wheat—Whei^ Which MlU«i;g Claim M ahe the B e s t n e u r —The lAuloga -and Other Sard Wheats. The supeiior quality of the-flour mqde from, wheat grown in the high latitudes of the north-west 'is quite well known, hut it is perhaps not so generally known that the northern countries of the A^aooM where the difficulties surrounding agri culture are gpeatest, both in the way of .production and access to mariiet^, are the only countries producing wheat of the highest quality. It has been found to be a necessity by millers everywhere who aim to produce first class flour to add to the softer wheats produced in temperate and southern latitudes a -large proportion of the harder wheats grown -in northern countries, and it is said tliat the larger the proportipn of hard u^eat used the stronger and better will be the Most of the hard wheats which find their way to the markets of the world, says Director Saunders, of the Dominion experimentai farms, Ottawa, Canada, are the gixywth of the northern plains of -Russia^ the northern United. States and the northwest provinces of Canada, For two years past a variety grown-in Russia, near Lake Ladoga, north of SL Peters burg, bos been the subject of cultivation at different points in the Dominion, with the view of testing its fertility and earli ness in ripening as com p art with the R<^ Fife, the present standard variety. As a summary of the results itis-stated that the Ladogo is a productive and valu able variety of hard wheat which has thus far ripenedrover the wholeDominion ten days earlier on the average than- the Red Fife; that, as far as gl|(&n is con cerned, the Rai Fife and the Ladoga are almost eqtxal in value, with a small bal ance in favor of the latter wheat; that a very marked improvement has taken place in the Ladoga wheat by its growth in Canada, and particularly in the north west, and that the same appears to be true of other Russian varieties. Tbe^s- periment is interesting as showing the effect of transplanting wheat sou-thw-ard from an extreme northern latitude, Lake Ladoga being eight hundred and forty miles north of the city of Ottawa, in - Canada. Milling experts grade wheats p'inck •■/pally by the consistency or relative hai-d- ness of the gsain, a character which de pends almost entirely on the gluten, it bein.g true, as a rule., that thegreater'ilie percentage of gluten the harder tlie bulletin iSfo. 4, department q £ agri culture, Washington, Professor C. Rich ardson has shown a special feature of spring wheats to be tlieir dryness. On page 57 he gives the average water coti- tained by eight eastern states flours as . IS.49 per cent., ^vhile the same for Min nesota and Dakota flours is 8.98 per cent. From these figui’es he rightly deduces that, ‘\^Dther things being equal, a barrel of western flour -^vouid makeamore*bread than a-barrel of eastern flour.” '■Rarm Riorses and Coach Horses. To do heavy work on the farm and heavy hauling in town, we probably have nothing superior to draft horse grades, eitlier of Percheron, Clydesdales OT the Shire horse, Moving heavy loads the draft lK>rse looks beautiful because his strength appears to be adapted to his labor and lie is generally symmetrical in form. But, says the editor of Rural •Some, before the family carriage or tlie Mggy such a horse seems so illy ^^apted to the purpose that overgrown l,afsr5£iVardness is the most striking-feat- yure ’ .of- ^he scene. ;i t For ••.many years we have depended Ohi' carriage horses^ither upon .•mregSi^r of thoroughbreds on ■ .pieveland bay- \We :'.’&'ith afly: Cfer^hiV;^ to!what the prog- ”ehV'Avil^ bi 0 i W i t h i n f e w years we mecessary for a roadster. , .r:-. . .■■,if:ErrrT~r-^ I ■ i A Kew and Cheapv-J ; is a by-produ[Gt-.-;Oblsa^^. jm the n. facture of salt; iSffldi is-duot. usedf .ec : nafy •pturph'sIs^Uis'iCed hi ^ u tioW • t io n s ; used= dady^ w m ; ‘re m o v e • all- • a iai^ e ^ or a few. q; plurnbing % stea of ah /,Tthlsb;,rnj^tvM :used yritfaadx^E^t^?, 'ajs4hdlspd^bld\tdL \. selves their! .heeds 5nJ .

Useful Inform a d o n to Beadezs W h o Con tem p late the BoUdlns; o f Silos* Readers who are contemplatmg build ing silos of wood may gain useful infor mation in the following from the pen of John Giould, a i)opular Wisconsin daify- Tbe cost of a 100 ton silo would be about 3,200 feet of inch pine lumber, 800 feet of 2 by 10 inch Adding—possibly §40 with you; one keg wire lOd nails, three rolls of tarred paper, 86- more. The silo you win need will be 14 by 18 feet, and 18 feet deep. If you build in the bam, scantling ^ by 6 will probably be heavy esxHigh. Set the studding 18 inches apart. If you can build in the bam, fix your stalls so you can use one comer of the bam fear the silo, and let it start from the ground. Do not try to use the walls of the bam for rilo. Let the silo stud ding have the walls fox backing, and make an air space. Set the studding and then sheet up riie inside of the silo with oommon inch boards. Then put on the tarred paper up and down, well lapped, and then put on another layer of boards over the paper, nailing them on thrc«igh the paper and the other boarding to the studding. Do not use matched lumber. Good rough lumber, with true edges, is all. you need. Put on both courses round and round, breaking joints by a bait lap. Then take common coal tar, boil.it xmtil it is thin, add some resin, put in inside the silo, boiling hot. This will make the lumber water proof, and last a long time, and is far ahead of a stone silo in which to preservo ensilage. Also tar the b o t t o m - t h e studding nest to the ground, Preservins Hggs, There are many ways in use by dealers for the preservation of eggs. The method most practiced throughout the country is the pickle of lime and salt, but even in this there is no exact agreement as; to the proportions to be used. The follow ing is one of the. formulas used: Take one bushel unslacked lime and eight quarts salt to sixty-five gallons of water. Slack the lime with a portion of the wa ter, then add the balance 'of the water and salt. Stir it, and w’-ben well fettled and cold dra-w off the clear pickle into the preserving cask to thedepth cf fifteen inches and put in as many eggs as the pickle will cover; at the same time pour m some pickle tliat is a little milky, so that the fine lime particles floating in it may close the pores in the shell. Contirsie m this way as every lot of eggs is added, and not put in lime enough to settle in a thick sediment at tlie bottom and liolcl some of tlie eggs fasL Kee^ in a cool place, always cov ered a few inches with the pickle. A!^ien within a few inches of the top cover the ^ g s with cotton cloth, and on it spread two Of t^ee inches of fine lime that has settled in making the pickle, which should come up high enough to cover this lime. \‘W h ite Houfie”' Pa.fet.” The formula here given is one known as tlie “'White House” paint or w’hite- ^vash: Take one-half bushel of good unslaked lime; slake it with boiling water (cover during the process to keep in the steam), strain the liquid through a sieve and add to it a peck of salt dissolved in warm ater, three poundsof ground rice boiled to a thin paste. Stir in, bcdling hot, one half pound of Spanish whiting, one pound of white glue and five gallons of hot water. Let the mixture stand a few days, covered from dust, and apply hot with a whitewash brush. If a different oolor be desired, Spanish brown, yellow ocher or otlier colors may be added. Do not add green. This makes a cheap, durable paint for all kinds of outdoor wood^-ork, brick-or stone. IT a it Trees i a lExposed. EUaces. President Aldrich, at a. recent meeting of the Columbus Horticultural society, said that the most exposed slope of a hill is often the best place for fruit trees. They are uninjured in s-uch positions when the trees in the lower and level portions of the orchard are badly dam aged. The fact that the air over a hill top is lighter and is usually in motion, while the heavier and colder air settles in the low places and remains motion less, explains this rather puzzling ob servation. j, Duck Baisiog ^ FroGl^bie XnOastrsT. • £' 'The introduction of the Pekfai duck, “togifber with rapid strides-in artificial hatc£n%, hasmade diick raisinga.prcxfita- ble-hadostty.
