of this science from the rude maple.
mcnts used in Ronish days, to the
lantern of King Arthur, and the
lamps soon after introduced, he
suddenly turned on the gas, to the
astonishment Of many, and "eXtin.
guiShed the lamps fUrevermore."-
This was the first time the building
had been so lighted. Interesting
experiments were intcrSpersed
throughout the address. Prot. Di.

an experimental farm, and now be
holds his efforts nearly culminated.

PRUNING APPLE-TREEs.-To the In
quiries of the novice on the subject of
making apple.trees healthy and pro-
fitable by pruning, and applying ashes
and lime around the foot Of the trunk,
we would say, that II trees are planted
on good soil with good natural under
drainage, land next to this thorough
artificial draining) and the ground well
cultivated over the whole surface, prun-
ing will become OF secondary impor-
tance. Branches may sometimes be-
come too thick and bushy, and need a
moderate and oven thinning, but it is
better to keep the head of the tree in a
good shape and condition, by prevent
ing its bearing a dense mass of brush,
than by cutting ont large limbs after
wards. A careful eye will detect su.
pernumerary shoot that is just spring.
ing up in a wrong place, and will re-
move it with knife; which is better
than to allow it to become heavy limb,
crowd its neighbors, and finally have
to come out. The great point, however,
first and last, is to keep the trees in a
good, healthy condition by proper cul-
tivation of the soil. Pruning will not
cure a messy, diseased and stunted tree.
The life must be put into it, If possible,
below, at the roots. AS to applying
ashes and lime, they will do little good
If heaped around the foot of the stem,
but may be of essential benefit if spread
broadcast over the surface.

CARE IN FEEDING CATTLE.-It is

There are certain conditions, says the
Stock Journal, always required in grow

your mind to comply with these condi.
tions, you had better not engage in the
business.
1t must have enough to eat of the
right kind offood, just enough and none

intervals, not less than three times a

FEEDING HORSES TOO MUCH HAY.
--Ofall our domestic animals there are
none that require more systematic care
than the horse. A horse should be fed
regularly, and in moderate quantities,
and worked judiciously. A horse fed in
this way may be kept at moderate
cost, and will be mole healthy and per-
form more labor than if fed highly, or
es many we know of are in the habit of
feeding their horses. They will surely
eat enough to injure them if they can
get it, When hay is kept constantly be.
fore them, horses are apt to spend their
time in throwing it around topsy-tur-
vey in the rack they soon become dis
satisfied with their food, and lose their
keen relish for it. The general practice
should be to feed regularly three times
day.

Charcoal For Sick Cattle.

Nearly all animals become sick from
improper eating. In nine cases out of
ten, the digestion is wrong. Charcoal
Is the most efficient and rapid correc.
tive. 1t will cure In o majority Of cases,
II properly administered. An exam
pie of its use-the hired man came In
with the intelligence that one Of the
finest COWS was very sick, and kind
neighbor proposed the usual drugs and
poisons. The owner being Ill, and una.
BILE to examine the cow, concluded that
the trouble came from some over eat
ing and ordered a teacup Of pulverized
charcoal given In water. 1t was mixed,
placed in junk bottle, the head held
upwards, and the water with its char
coal poured downwards. In five min.
utes an Improvement was visible, and
In few hours the animal was in the
pasture quietly eating grass. Another
instance of equal success occurred with
ayoung heller which became badly
bloated by eating green apples. The
bloat was 80 severe that the sides were
almost as hard as barrel. The old RENE.
dy. sal1iatus, was tried for the purpose
OF correcting the acidity. But the at.
tempt to put 1t down always caused
coughing, and 1t did little good. Hal
teacipful Of fresh powdered charcoal
was next given. In six hours all ap
pearance Of bloat had gone, and tn,
heller was wei. Country Gentleman.

SwINE.-No pig can grow rapidly on
poor food. A well-bred pig will grow
rapidly on good food-a poor bred pig
will not; and this is the real essential
difference between them. If you starve
both, the well.bred pig is no better than
the other. Let young pigs have all they
will eat and digest. See that they have
access to fresh water. They may not
drink much, but it should always be
provided for them, no matter how slop.
py their food may be. Provide ashes,
salt, sulphur and charcoal. See that the
pens and troughs are kept clean.
