carefully. Gentle driving and the right
kind of feeding will be enc OF the best
means employed % develop muscle, and put

have, at least, four quarts of carrots or
turaips, or roots of some kind, in addition
60 three liberal feelings of cut feed and
meal Meal composed of one part oats, one
OF rye or wheat, and third part of Indian
corn, will make excellent feed for such a
purpose. A quart of oil meal, mingled with
the grain, will be an improvement in the
feed. Compelling q horse to eat too much
straw with the meal will be very detrimental
The better way will be to employ only few
quarts of cut straw with the meal Then,
If the stomach is not sufficiently distended,
let the animal have access to few pounds
of good hay. Feed him only as much as he
will eat up clean In about one hour.

To Make C6lcs GiUe MiLk.-A writer
who says his COWS gives all the milk that is
wanted in family of eight persons, and
from which was made two hundred and
sixty pounds of butter the year, gives the
following as his treatment Ne says: " If
you desire to get large yield Of rich milk,
give your COWS three times q day water
slightly warm, slightly sailed, in which bran
has been stirred at the rate of quart to
two gallons of water. You will find, If you
have not found this daily practice, that
your COW will gain twenty-five per cent i'm
mediately under the effects of it. and she
will become so attached to the diet as to re-
fuse to drink clear water unless very thirsty,
but this mess she will drink almost any
time, and ask for more. The amount of this
drink is an ordinary water pail full each
time, morning, noon and night Your ami
NAL will then do ker best at discounting the
tactical Four hundred pounds of butter
are often obtained from good stock, and in
stances are mentioned where the yield was
even higher figure"

HOtO to Keep Neat FresA.-As farmers
are at distance from meat markets, the
following direction for keeping meat may
be of use to those who try it Cat the

just enough to make it palatable. Place on
the top thick paper or cloth, with salt half

Il Sure Preventive Of Hog Cholera.-A
letter was sent to the Club by Western
correspondent, in which stone-coal is de-
clared to be a sure preventive of cholera.
The effect is mechanical, he thinks, acting
as healthful stimulus to the bowels. In
all cases where hogs have had free access to
coal they have been healthy.
Il Word about Riveting Hammers. -
Riveting hammers are usually quite too
heavy. When a riveting- hammer weighing
more than pound is employed to spread
the end of a small rivet, there is much dan
ger that the riVet will receive q blow so
heavy as to bend it before the end is bat
tered, or spread sufficiently over the washer
The face Of a riveting hammer should be
slightly convex, rather than straight or
square across, like the face Of a Mailman
mer. The edge of rivetIng-h hammer should
not be ground to a sharp cutting edge, like
the edge of q cold-chisel, but be round off
so that it will batter or spread the metal,
rather than cut off fragments of the rivet,
as it will do if the edge Of the hammer be
ground sharp.

Southern Fruits for The North.-James
c. Derby, of New York, owner of a large
fruit farm in Aiken, S. c., near Augusta,
Ga, read paper from J. Rutter, describing
an invention Of his by which strawberries
may be placed in New York in March, and
peaches early in June. 1t consists of a
large refrigerating- box, in which, by the
use of ice and of charcoal Rs an absorbent,
dry air of the temperature of 450 can be
preserved Thus surrounded, the fig may
be transported fresh. Mr.. Carpenter, and
other members familiar with the Nyce meth
cd of preserving fruits, said the temperature
must be lower than 49,.
