Hints for the Farmer.


MAYUnzs.-Good Manure can only be made
from good food.
Ol-cake, either from linsced or coiton-secd
makes the richest manure. Malt-combs beans.
and peas come next, aud are nearly as good
Next come bran and clover hay. Then oats,
Inl;an-co7n, and barley then timothy hay
aud corn-stllks Bean and pea straw come
ncxt; then oat-straw, wheat-s;raw. nod lastly
barIcy-s,raw.
Bran or Shorts "a a fagorile food. We feed
it largely TO sheep, store pigs cows, and horses
We can sell timothy hay for S2s per ton and
buy shorts for SIS rer ton. And tie manure
from a ton of bran we estimate to be worth
SIS, while that from ton Of timothy bay or
corn is worth less than s., and that from q
ton Of clover lay about SO, aud fsom ton
Of straw s. 50 to $500.
Straw aud Stalks we rua through c cutting
box, both for food and TOR litter When cut
up, straw will absorb much more liquid, and
is consequently more valuable for bedding than
long straw.
No plan can be worse than leaving The COW
mauure in a scattered heap just outside the
cow stable, and tie horse manure in another
heap. and the pig manure, half mud aud corn
cobs in another heap, where it freezes solid

SCRATCHES. Scratches is an indammatory
suppuratiye action Of the skin Of horses
heels and bind legs. It often very difficult
OF cure. st times it readily submits to very
simple treatment such as washing the parts
quite clean with solution Of one dram Of
carbolic acid to a pint Of water. After wash
ing, the legs are wiped quite dry with IS e
cloth, and snoin;ed with elycerine as oftes as
is needed to keep the ssin from becoming dry.
At the same tine the horse should have half
Gu ounce 10 an ounce Of sulphfe Of soda 10 the
feed twice day. Care should be taken to
Keep the legs clean aud dry and free from mud,
which is in many cases the direct cause Of tie
trouble.
Sailing animals requires judgment. To let
them 90 without for several weeks and then
give them all they viii ca, is bad practice
aud sometimes dangerous one The better
plan is to have rock-salt where the animal can
lick it every day.
a good farmer can not enjoy bis evenings or
sleep well at night until be knows that all his
animals are comfortable and everything is in
its proper place.
An hours hard work at night in the winter
season will often save two hours work in the
morning when every thing is frozen up solid
or is coYered with snow.

Farm horses kept in the stable aud only

them do nothing fur several days. and then

but rather good, provided ihey are rubbed dry
af,erward. But to drive them rapidly eight
or ten miles, let them stand in tie cold for an
hour or two, aud then dive them rapidly
home, aud give them little care when they get
home, is thoushtless and cruel.
Horses that are worked regularly need extra
feed in cold weather. There is nothing better
than chairel hay aud corn-mcal.
Horses that are driven fast should have cats
instead Of corn-meal.
Farm horses that are doing little or nothing
can be we'll wiuicrcl on chaaed straw with
little corn-mcal aud bran.
Cows ore healthier in deep open shed than
in close ill-veutilated stable But a stable
is much more economical Of space, and it can
be kept warm aud clean, and well ventilated
aud when this is tic case the cows will require
less food, or if they eat as much food will
either give more milk or store up tat.
Liberal feeding is usually the most economi-
cal feeding 1t is groa, waste Of digestive
powers to so feed a COW that she neither gives
milk nor increases in weight; it is still
greater waste to so feed her that she must con-
sume more or l,ss Of the fat and flesh previous
ly stored up ia the system. This Is what hap
pens when an animal weighs less in the spring
than in the fall
Cows that are we'll fed and kept in barn
stable should bo carded with curTy-comb two
or three times a week It will pay in health, in
looks, and in milk.
Any work that can be done now instead Of
in the spring should not be neglected.
Seed Corn, II not already selected, should he
attended to.
Clean Seed barley, oats, peas. beans. and
spring wheat, and put ia barrel, bins, or bags
ready for use. Blow out all light grains and
foul stuff.
Sor, over Potatoes IN the cellar. and free the
cellar from all decayius vegetables and fruit.
vcutiIa,c The cellar every day by opening
the door aud windows when the temperature
is above freezing or not more than degree or
two below.
Whicwash the cellar walls md also the
walls aud partitions Of piS-pcns, cow-staLles,
