IMPORTANCE OF CURRYrSo AxMALs.-
u Is well known that every hair, whether
long or short, is composed Of numerous
little barbs like fsh hook, and therefore,
when a number Of hairs are brought In
contact with each other, and muved back
and forth, they will work In among each
other, and moved back and forth, they will
work in. among each other, and often form
mass so tangled--like the name Of a colt.
which our ancestors have often taught us 10
believe were the stirrups Of witches who
were accustomed TO ride them in tho dark
nights-that 1t Is difficult to disentanqle
them. The only means that cattle have Of
scratching themselves many times, Is TO ap-
ply their tongues; and when tho hair comes
of, rs 1t many times does, by the handful.
more or less Of II will adhere to their tongues.
and many times find It's way into their
stomachs; and the reciprocating motion Of
tho stomach of animals which chew the
cud would soon form q bunch Of hair into
q pellet and as more hair was taken into
the stomach from day 10 day, Il would be
very sure 10 all collect In one mass. Now,
when an animal begins to shed its coat Of
hair there always appears to be more irri-
tatior cn the skin, and if the card or curry.
comb Is not used pretty freely, the tongue
must be applied; and if an animal Is well
eurried every day, when it is shedding Its
coat, Il Is far less liable to collect hair In
It's stomach. A ball Of hair-.-being indi-
gestible--ln the stomach, would be very
likely to injure Its energies 50 rs to produce
disease, and eventually premature death.
Cars or FAM IMPLEMESTs.-Gcorre
E. Blakeslee, Of Lorain county, Ohio, sends
the following communication TO the Rural
american, on subject which interests all
farmers, but only portion of them, we
are pleased 70 say, require the inf rmation.
He says; " Thousands Of dollars are lost
by the neglect Of farmers to take proper
care Of their farming too's, which a little
outlay and care wouli save. All the tools
and implements Of wood used by tho far
mer should be keptwell painted and housed.
They not only look much nicer, and last
years longer, but they show evident signs
Of thrift and taste. One of the most dur.
able and neatest paints Is a light blue.
This color may be mde by any farmer.
Take white la and oil, and mix 70 about
the thickness Of cream, then add Prussan
blue TO suit the taste. Green paint may
be made BY putting in green in place Of
the blue. A paint composed Of equal
parts Of white lead and yellow ochre mixed
with oil, Is very durable, but does not look
30 neat as blue or green, To one pint Of
any paint, there should DO added one gill
Of Japan drier, Or liquid laguer. Il Is
equally essential to preserve tools Of iron
and steel from rusting; and this can be ef.
fectuaIly done BY applying coat Of three
parts Of lard TO one Of rosin. Apply with
q cloth or brush, q good coat whenever q
tool Is set away for while. The prepare.
ton can be made in'asy quantity, andkcpt1
for a l'ng time"

TuRNIP CULruRE.-We incline to think
that most armers who have been urged to
the practice Of raising large quantities Of
turnips for their cattle are changing their
course and substituting other roots, or corn
fodder. Something ought to be provided
by every dairy farmer for his cows after
the summer pasture fails. Writers have
often urged the advantage Of growing large
lots Of yellow turnips and plucking OF
the leaves to be fed out TO milch eows--Pe-
serving tho bottom tor winter use. But
neither turnips nor their tops are proper
food for COWS In milk. They may be used
70 limited amount, but tho milk Is effected
when large quantities are fed out, and
though the quantity Of milk Is increased,
the quality Is injured, and the condition Of
the cows ls BY no means improved. Tur.
nlps are moie easily raised than other root
crops, as the seed may be sown at almost
any time In July and Of course less weed.
ing by hand Is necessary. The English
nat turnip Is raised with less labor than
any Of the roots, as the seed Is usually
sown broadcast and left 10 take care Of
ITSELF Among corn at tho last time Of
hoelng-aat turnip seed Is often sown. A
common hand rake Is good tool to be
used In burying the seed, ~ il need not be
covered deep. Still all kinds Of turnips
run the soil harder than stalks, and leave
Il unfit for corn to follow withou' very
high mnuring. Yellow turnlps do not
enrich the soil Us some writers assert and
they should never be gown before corn.
Corn stalks Of any kind arc better for COWS
In milk than any kind Of roots-and an acre
Of them will afford as much nourishmcnt
as an acie Of Foots-whiie the labor Of

Remedy for the Apple Tree Borer,

Mr.. EDIToR,-I desire to say
something about the apple tree bor-
er, an enemy from which we have
greatly suffered in our attempts to
secure healthy trees and good crops.
So far as my own trees are concern
ed, | think have found remedy.
l planted an apple orchard eigh-
teen years ago, and the trees thrived
very well for five or six years, when
they began to droop and look sickly.
Upon examining them 1 found the
borer in great numbers, having done
considerable damage, and some of
them appeared to be past recovery.
| went to work and took them out.
After removing them l was about to
apply coal tar, but l was told it would
be a worse enemy than the borer.
l thought a while, and decided to ap-
ply urine, from the constable, having
tanks and appliances to secure all
this valuable liquid manurcs, as every
farmer should have. / applied this
copiously around the bottom of the
trees, and washed the trunks thor
oughly. The result is that l have
not a borer in my orchard, and the
trees have completely recovered, and
give me abundant crops.
| have been using this remedy for
three years and it has well repaid
me for the labor required and | think
| can commend it confidently to my
brother farmers who will first care
fully remove the borer and properly
apple it, say twice year afterwards.
1t will be seven years this spring
since | planted five apple trees.
Three of the five were attacked by
the borer, killing one, and the other
two looked very sickly. l removed
the worms, and upon the remaining
four used the urine freely; they re-
covered and bore this season very fine
fruit.
Three years ago the coming spring,
| planted thirty-six apple trees, and
at once applied the urine copiously,
and there is not, to my knowledge,
single borer in the whole of them (;
besides they have grown and look
remarkably well. Some ofmy neigh
bors, who planted trees at the same
time, obtained at the same nursery,
complain of the d@predations of the
borer.
Believing this, Mr.. Editor, to be
a remedy, when properly used, [
think it my duty to communicate it
to my brother farmers through your
interesting columns. I'D.
