During the winter every implement
and machine that will be required next
spring and summer should be overhaul

and if they have been neglected and are
rusty, wash off all the dirt and then
apply with swab, fastened on the end
of stick, mixture Of one part sulphur.
ic acid and two parts water Rub the
mould. board and other parts that are
rusty with this liquid until the rust is
all removed then wash it off and rub
it dry. Then smear it over with crude
petroleum or some other cheap oil, and
next spring you will be saved from the
loss aud annoyance of clogging. Every
farmer should buy barrel Of petroleum,
aud use it freely on all his Wagons,
machines, implements, etc 1t will
keep the iron from rusting aud the wood
from decay, and in cold weather it is a
useful lubricating oil. We find tabso-
lutcly essential to keep on hand several
sizes of carriage bolts With these aud
brace, and set Of bits, nearly all or.
binary fractures can be easily repaired.
1t is a great con venience, also, to have
wise, and to keep on hand an assert
ment Of uncut nuts, with the tools Tor
making the thread in them and also on
the bolts. All these things can be OBJ
tained at hardware store, and farmer
who buys them willneYer regret it
But if its necessary to take anything to
the blacksmilh's shop, now is the time
to do it, and when it is repaired clean
of the rust, paint it with linseed oil,
and put it away for use in the spring.
If the farmer or his son would go over
all the implements, machinery, wagons,
hay racks, tools, and see that every
thing is strong and in good order it
would not only greatly lessen tle
blacksmith's bill, but would save much
precious time and no little annoyance

keep hens beyond their second year,
but for raising chickens we nave found
il to be poor policy to employ eggs laid
by hens less than two years old. We
have always found that the chchens
from the older hens aye more easily

turn out every way better than those
raised from pullets' eggs. The eggs

Improvement In Grain.

EXPERIMENTS have demonstrated, and
analogy has shown, that finest and besi

this principle, in farm stock, we have the
different breeds of sheep, swine, poultry
&c.
We plant and SOW Gas it comes" We
take the seed of the same grain that We
use in the aggregate, and SOW it ls moi
this the case almost alwaysi Corn IL an
exception to some extent-but why do We
except corn? Because it is handy to
select. But why select at all : Because
it is understood to be good. Analogical.
ly, then, it is good to do the same with
wheat, oats, barley, &c. But this Is less
easily done; we therefore neglect it. How
long will it take farmer to 20 through
his wheat and secure the finest and ripest
heads sufficient to SOW an acre, or half an
acre, or q quarter-or even apint Of seed
This pint sowed will be sufficient to form
swst crop. The best heads taken from
this again, and sowed, will yield another
test crop, from which should be taken as
before; and so on for number Of years,
say half dozen-more still better. But
three or four years will work decided
difference. But the thing should be con-
tinued from selected wheat every time.
In this way grain can be improved and
crops enlarged. There will be larger
grains, earlier maturity and better growth.

Summering Young Calves.

THE first sumner is the important one
for calves. If they COME Though it in
good, sound, thrifty condition, their future
rearing is easy. IF they get potbellied

lost in their development and growth, and
they will never be so good as they would
have been had they kept growing from
their birth. The secret of success in rails
ing calves is to keep them thrifty from The

to grass too early: They have to eat q
large amount Of succuleht food, to supply
to their unprotected digestive organs q
sufficient amount of such nutriment as
they can use, and they develop enormous
paunches, out of all proportion to their
frames. By frolicking they expend, in
muscular waste, material that should 90

over heated they disarrange their entire

Encyclopedia pastures, they are often
as much starved by the want of food as
they were earlier by the want Of ability
to make complete use of what they did
eat.

Experiments In DestroyiBg tho Peach

THERE b . handy means for the de-
struction of this heretofore fatal enemy to
the peach tree, which il practical here
and which has proved certain, beyond
peradventure. It Is simple, Of easy ap-
plication, and expeditions. II consists Of
the use of boiling soater applied to the collar
of the tree, in quantities varying accord
ing to the age Of the tree-in small trees,
say one inch in diameter, half pint 10
sufficient and . pint il enough for larger
ones. Remove the earth from around the
tree few inches in depth, and just pour
the water boiling hot on the exposed
roots, and it will kill every egg ~ well -
worm with positive certainty. Il has
been tried here time and again, upon trees
that have been more than MALT killed, and
q perfect restoration has been the result In
every case. No danger need be appre-
hended from the effects of the hot water
upon the trees. unless . large quantity ID
applied to q very small tree. When Q
large number of trees have to be operated
upon, fire should be made in The orchard
for heating the water. 20 that it can be ap-
piled boiling hot Considering the i'm
por,ance of this remedy to peach growers
who may not have heard Of it, deem 1t
but common justice to give 1t circulation
through the columns of your paper. Its
certainty as remedy may be implicitly
relied upon.-Cosntry Gent.

Sheep after Shearing..

AFTER sheep has lost III fleece, the
skin of the animal becomes very sensitive
to the heat of searching sun, or the chill
Of cold storm. To be convinced Of this,
and the importance of making some ex-
ira exertion for the comfort Of the ami
mails, 1t il only necessary 70 visit the field
where the flock is kept. when the day is
hot or immoderate, and witness the dis
comfort manifested. In either case the
sheep win be found seeking shelter, pant
ing or shivering, and of course suffering
severely.
Probably the most economical mode Of
protecting the flock is to turn them into
the woods, or into q field, . part of which
ID covered by forest trees. Here, in hot
day they are shielded from the sun, and
In . cold storm get sorae protection. It
il better, however, when cold storm ap-
proaches, to drive the flock up, and keep
them In the barn until the weather Il
suitable for them to 90 out again.
It will be remembered that but Q few
years ago, Thousands ofsheep were killed in
Northern Ohio, BY . cold storm some
time In June Farmers ct that time who
were thoughtful enough to care for their
hocks saved them, and the lesson learned
them should be remembered. It il not
frequent that We have summer storms
severe enough to kill sheep outright,
uhless, perhaps, Il be few old "pel-
ters," yet that ID NO argument against
giving them protection, for when IN AMI
NAL suffers from any cause, It declines in
fssh, health and strength.

Young Man, Stay In the Country.

As LEGITIMATE business and the great
speculative movements of the commercial
world decline, the rush Of young men to
the cities in search of employment or to
take advantage of the chances of trade on
their own account, is greater than it has
been for years. We are told by mer.
chants that their stores and offices are
every day invaded by dozens of these in
search Of situations where they may feit-
ter a@ay I lew yeafs OF their lives under
the mistaken notion that the city is the
only place to win position and wealth ;
and that their pleadings to be employed, OF
to be told where employment is possible,
are pitiful to hear.
Young man, if you are earning your
bread in the country, stay Hhere you are.
IL yut a.e earning nothing, be sure you
will do worse in the city. At any time
the change from rural to metropolitan life
is dangerous; at this time, when hundreds
and thousands of young men are being
thrown out of their places, because there
is neither work nor wages; to make the
change il to invite temptation that all
young men should avoid. The city is full
of the tineh1ployhd now. In thh country
the Harvest Is Just coming, for which there
is lack of muscle; and at all times there
are millions of acres of land open to the
occupation and industry of those who
would be independent Of the dangers and
temptations of city life.-Cnieago Post.

"And what did they do theref"
"They titled it"
"Why were they turned QUIT"
After q significant silence, little fellow
cried out
"Sir, they could not pay the rent"
The novelty of the answer induced the
teacher to inquire of his pupil why he
had given it, when he was told thst his
father and mother had been turned out OF
their house because they could not pay

Sowing Corn sos Green Fodder.

Corn for green fodder should be sown
not broadcast, but thickly, in rows three
feet apart, 30 that it may be readily
",tended by horse power. At this width

without danger, and II the seed Is thick in
the drills, mot less than twenty-five ker

form 30 bushy growth IS to nearly occu.
py the whole space. The sowings may be
Continued at intervals, until nearly OF
quite the first of August The rows being
marked ou:, by claiming, or with the
pillow, the corn may be sown quite rapidly
BY hand, and covered with the feet, a.
recommended by Peter Henderson in his
Gardening for Profit" and then well
rolled down. Or, which is much better,
it may be put In with wheat drill by
taking out all but the middle and two end
teeth, and stopping the discharge from
the hopper except over these. This will
bring the rows at about the proper dis
lance apart, and the quantity of seed may
be easily regulated 30 as to give the requi-
site thickness in the drill. Corn sown in
this way needs no additional covering be
yond what roller will glre 1t. Should it
not be needed for feeding in it's green
state, it may be bound in small bundlee,
and cured in long shocks made around q
rail supported by crotches or stakes
When cured, it forms nutritious fodder.
