Speaking of the value of charcoal for feeding
domestic animals, and more particularly for
hogs, the editor of the Valley Farmer, remarks:
A half pint of it finely pulverized, and mixed
with corn, and meal, and water, to each animal
once or twice n week, will be found extremely
beneficial in aiding digestion and preventing
any arrangement from the stomach arising
from overlooking, as is liable to be the case
with the hoggish animal Besides serving as a
medicine, it is extremely fattening, either in
itself, or rendering the food eaten more availa-
BILE, by correcting and stimulating the dges-
tive powers. Charcoal has also been known to
work wonders in fattening poultry, geese, ducks
&c. 1t may be given in the same way as re-
commended for swine. Fowls that have acct
dentally been coufined for long time where
they had access to no food, except charcoal
when discovered, were found not only to hav'
sustained themselves, but to have actually fat
tened.n

MANAGING A FARM.

A farmer in Carmel, N. Y, writes to the
Hartford Homestead: any home farm consists
of one hundred and sixty acres, upon which
have bestowed much labor and great expense
came upon it in the spring of 1915. The soil
Of the farm was literally worn out, where it
could be plowed at all, and the remainder over
run with brush and briars, from the running
blackberry to the alder sapling, and overlaid
with formidable stones and rocks. In the first
years of my farming cut from five to ten tons
of hay, and that of inferior quality; l can now
shut up to NOW 100 acres of the first rate, or
nearly so, grazing land upon this farm. My
method in managing the land, is to NOV one
year, and Craze the next alternating, which is
q great improvement to the land. The past
season moved about forty acres on which
cut hundred loads of a ton each, eighty loads
of which were cut in June, and will fat bull
lock or sheep in Winter, quite as well as grass
of the same quality in Summer. | have i'm
proved lands by undertaking, and more re-
c,ntly vastly by irrigation, which you must SEE
fully to appreciate"

JUDGING A GOOD OK.

Tie first of the points, in judging of a lean
OK, is the nature of the bone. A round thick
bone indicates both slow feeder and an infe-
rior description of flesh. A flat bone when seen
on a side view, and narrow when viewed either
from behind or before the animal, indicates the
opposite properties of round hone. The whole
bones in the carcass should bear small pro-
portion in bulk and weight to the flesh. The
texture of the bone should be small grained
and hard. The bones of the head should be
fine and clean, and only covered with skin and
muscle, and not with Jumps of fat and flesh,
which always give a heavy-headed, dull ap-
pearance to an OK. The fore arm and hook
should also be clean and full Of muscle, to en-
dure travelling. Large joints indicate bad
feeders. The neck Of an OK should be, con-
trary to that of a sheep, small from the back o
the head to the middle of the neck. The rea'
son of the difference in this respect betwixt tn,
OK and the sheep is that the state of the mech
of the OK has no effect on the strength of the
spine.

Fall blowing is not advantageous when the
soil is thin and exposed to washing by ordi-
AIRY rains, or when heaved or loosened by frost;
not if the ground is wet and springy, and not if
it is blowing sand, unless you can put crop
of rye on this Fall. Under almost all other cir
cumstances we believe Fall blowing may be adj
vantageous; certainly it is advisable on clay
lands, or on heavy clay loan or gravelly loan
unless the land is apt to suffer from drought
and you wish to turn under fresh sward in
May or June, as a sort of reservoir of moisture
for some crop during the Summer. In this
case even it is much more desirable to sow rye
now and turn under the cropand plant upon it
