TAKE CARE OF TIE IMPLEMENTS. All
kinds of farm implements aud machinery arc
expensive, and with the best of care and use
must often be replaced BY new ones. But their
durability depends a great deal upon the man
ror Of using and keeping them. If never shell
tered or painted they will work and soon rot.
The woodwork Of all tools, it kept we'll paint
cd and housed, will outlast much of the iron
york. Whenever tho sun opeus cracks in the
ln,bcr they should be flied with putty aud paint
Manufacturers declare that not half the far

Feeding Horses Common Mistake.

The practice Of regulating the food of horses
by the amount Of work they are required to per-
form, is good one, if properly followed. For
example, horse when lying comparatively idle,
as in winter, should have less solid food than
amid the hard work Of spring and summer
Again: il horse is about to be put to work of
extra labor, it is vel, to fortify him for it by a
little extra feeding beforehand. But the mis-
take We refer to Is tEe practice Of over-feedng
him an hour or So before putting him TO work.
Il an extra service is required of horse, on
any particular day, and an extra feed is to be
given him, let him have 1t the evening before
hand, rather than III the morning an hour or
two before hein. put to work. Why so !! Be-
cause, if he is put to work so soon after eating,
his food does not become digested, and he is
obliged 10 carry about with him large mass
of undigested fodder, which is rather burden
than help to lin. If he is we'll fed the even
ing before, the food is a>similated-c changed to
flesh aud blocd-and sends health and vigor
through the whole system. As general rule,
working horse should be fed regularly, both
as to the time and the amount.

SWAMP LAND.-There is special beauty
about an object redeemed from positive waste
and ugliness, and made to minister to human
wants. There IS bit of swamp land 10 view
from our window, where three years ago we
could net walk without wet feet, aud which,
from the creation down, had only borne brush
aud sour grasses. 1t is now thickly covered
with beautiful sod of herds-grass and white
clover. 1t has been drained, aud the surface is
now as dry as upland. Last year the acre and
a bali cut three tons OF good hay, aud this soa-
son it has pastured two cows from June to Sep
tember, giving them full flow of milk, and the
feed is still good. The pasturage is worth at
least twenty dollars. Muck enough has been
taken from the bitches to pay the whole cost OF
reclaiming. Three years ago it was not worth
thirty dollars; il is now worth three hundred,
and will pay the interest on that sum.-B.

HINTS ON BUTTER MAKING-A lady in
Schuyler County tbidks, and rightly too, that
there Is no necessity for there being so much
trash thrown upon the market under the name
of butter. She asks why cannot the western
aud midland counties of New York produce as
good butter and cheese, and get as good prices
for it, as Orange county! .4HS.-Some of them
can aud do, though not a little of the western
product is sold under The name of Orange coun-
~ butter. The truth is, the Orange county
people for so long time sent uniformly good
butter and cheese, that reputation was estab-
llshed. Our correspondent is right, in conjec-
turing that most of the trash, amounting to
abort three-fourths of all the butter sold in
the country, results from ignorance of the
method of making it we'll. little more
knowledge on the part of the makers, would
from the same milk, produce butter worth, to-
day, in the New York market, 20 cents per h.,
wholesale, whereas their butter is now sold
from IA to is cents per ID. Our correspondent
says she obtained for her butter the same price
that has been paid for the Orange county
product. We 90 not quite understand her
description respecting ''churning the wLole
milk" and Yet sadding one quart of boiling
water 10 the cream" Any hints and sugges-
items scn this topic will be gladly received
Let US have large amount of experience from
different persons, as all hints received Will add
to the value of the proposed discussion, which
