brushes and the like in the orse-barn,
and use them daily; but how many cows
throughout the country ever had card.
brush applied to their dirty sides? The
dairy cows come out of the stable in the
spring looking more filthy than the swine
in the gutter. Does it pay to keep the
cattle clean? Ask any intelligent farmer
if 1t pays to use the brush on his horses,
and then ask him to point out reason
why it does not pay equally as well to
give the cows the same attention and
care.
In the cultivation of garden crops the
hoe and rake should be continually AT
work. Weeds should be taken in hand
before they are barely out of the seed.

etable gardening will be avoided Hoe
ing or earthing up of most garden crops
is of immense advantage in nearly every
case. One would suppose that in our
hot climate fiat culture would be much
more beneficial; but fair trial, say on
every other row of bed of cabbages
will show great difference in favor OF
the earthed-up plants. Western Rural.
