Kind Treatment Of Cattle.

I have noticed a great difference in the
treatment that farmers gave their cattle
when they 60 in upon barn floor where
they are not wanted. 1t is natural for
animals to be looking out for something
good to cat, and we cannot expect them
to show more judgment than we do and
not 60 in at an open door when we had
not order enough to shut it. One man
will take pitchfork, perhaps, and run
for the animal with a yell, frighten it
badly, and strike it with fork or club
perhaps causing it to slip on the ice at
the door, lame or seriously injure it.
The farmer in this case is not only in.
juring his own property, but he is cult
waiting bad temper, which is worse
than the injury to the animal. 1 have
seen Others in such case, treat the animal
kindly. call it out with q gentle voice,
and, having nothing to fear, it obeys
without expecting pounding. Our do
nestle animals are given to US for our
good, and We should treat them with the
,ame kindness that we should wish from
! superior to US. Some managers of an.
mals appear nearly as brutal as the
lnimals they rule over. The farmer
whose cattle pay the best profit looks
to their wants, and is never
.ruel even to his brutes.-L. Elder, in
Farmers Union.

Training Tsmatees.

Ofcourse no gardener would ever think
of trellising an acre of tomatoes. but We
do not know of any one little thing that
pays better in private gardens than that
of giving the tomato vines some kind Of
support. 1t makes but little practical
difference what support is used; any
thing that will keep the vines from
sprawling out of bounds and looking
slovenly, that will keep the plant up
where one can see how to trim out su.
perfuous growth is a great comfort.
Besides these advantages the fruit is less
liable to rot, is in sight where malformed
specimens can be cut out and is always
clean. Another consideration is the
greater ease in "worming" or killing the
voracious green caterpillar; indeed, if a
trellis of some kind is once used, one will
always be used thereafter. Our present
object is to remind the readers to have
something in readiness. Set the trellis
before the plants are put out and begin
to train it early. Jush here We would
remind those who like to amuse them
selves in the garden that a tomato vine
with good bit of manure at its roots,
and trained against barn, shed or other
building, by means of loops of strong
cloth and tacks, will make display that
will astonish those who have never seen a
thus treated, not only in the
quantity of the fruit, but id the exceed
ing beauty of the whole plant.--M E.

A writer in the Ohio Farmer directs rs
a certain remedy for ivy poisoning, to
dissolve sugar of lead "a bit the size of a
hazlenut) in half q teacup of sweet milk
or warm water. Apply as warm as can
be easily borne, with q soft, Unity piece
Of linen rag. Three or four applications
are sufficient to effect a cure. If the
poison is on the face and near the eyes
or mouth, this astringent wash may be
applied. It is q marvellous cure and
by watching closely, one can gee the fe-
vered blisters turn from white to yellow
during the application. This remedy
for ivy poisoning should prevent a great
deal Of suffering. It is we'll, where

to keep sugar Of lead in the house all the
time. Let it be labeled and kept where
it can be found the moment it is wanted.
Keep it we'll wrapped up that it may not

Something New Absut Pears.

Mr.. P. T. Quinn tells the following
story in his "Rural Topics" in Scribner
for July:
A few years ago, gentleman living in
the suburbs of New York, anxious to
have large pear trees that would bear
fruit soon, contracted with tree agent
for some Bartletts, the price of which
was f1xed at $40 apiece. The trees came
in due time and we're set out. In two
years from the time Of planting, they
bore a small round russell pear, that
hung on the tree until late in October.
About this time, the very same agent
made his appearance, and, being re-
minded of his contract to furnish Bart
let's, he asked to be allowed to examine
the trees and the fruit, the latter still
hanging on the trees. He examined
both carefully, and, suddenly turning
toward bis victim, said with q stern
expression, "Wcll, sir, when l sold you
those trees I supposed you were a we'll
read, intelligent man; but now an of
2 different opinion" This very singular
REMARK brought forth the query, "Why%
from the owner. "Why" was the re-
spouse from the agent, ito think of
man Of culture at this day and age, who
does hot know the fact, that Bartlett
tree never bears Bartlett pears the first
year." The gentleman admitted his
Ignorance, and the peddler left, master
of the situation. Some weeks after, the
victim made inquiry of q neighbor to
know if he was aware Of this strange
phenomena in horticulture. Since then
this tree agent has not made his appear.

Working Heifers.

A corresT ondent of the Buffalo Lire
Stock Journal, who has small farm OF
ten acres is trying the experiment of hav-
ing all his farming done with cows, thus
saving the expense of keeping horses.
He broke a pair of two year old heifers.
with view of using shem when they got
old enough and of sufficient strength. He
finds them gentle and teachable, and
from what he has used them the past fall,
just in the way of making them handy,
he finds they yield as much milk as they
usually have done. He argues that on
so small . farm it would require a large
portion of it to keep q span Of horses,
whereas ifa COW can be made to perform
the necessary teamwork, and at the
same time yield a good supply of milk.
the saving, on account of not keeping
the horse, will be at least 1920 annually.
He proposes to adop. the system of soil
ing and to keep eight cows on the ten
acres. If the cows are all broken to the
yoke this would give him four teams, and
thus, by frequent change Of teams, no
animal need be put to long or excessive
labor during any day.

Sowing Turnips.

The turnip crop is too often neglected,
and no other crop pays better for the
labor bestowed. In some counties it is
a standard crop, and is relied upon Is
winter feed for sheep and cattle. With
the soil properly prepared 500 bushels
per acre can be produced. The best
land for turnips is old MANFRED lots, but
second years land, ola black, calcareous
or sandy loan will often yield immense
crops; and generally any good corn land
will produce turnips we'll. They may
be sown from the middle of June until
the 18th of August in this latitude,
about one pint to the acre, broadcast,
lightly narrowed or brushed after SOW
ing, with a top dressing of lime, ashes
or plaster. One of our best farmers has
made it a rule for many yssxs, to sow
each week for two months, beginning
with the middle of june, and be has not
failed Of raising plenty of turnips for
forty years. Try it.-Rsrl S.m.

Hast India Wheat.

Mr.. H. Kains-J Jackson, in . recent
communication to the London Euenias
Lia, appears to attach much Importance
to the prospective supply Of Indian
grown wheat as possibly affecting the
value of our own product, to which he
how assigns the controlling position in
Grain markets of the world. He re-
marks: The nev sosfce of grain sup.
ply in East India is brought prominently
under notice by the contract in one bot
tom of . large cargo of wheat, 1,40O
tdts, the first ever dispatched to this
Kingdom. This freight comes by the
Cape Of Good Hope, but the number OF
part wheat eargoes arrived and under
contract via the canal is q matter for
attention. 1t may be said, indeed, that
the British conquest of India was in.
complete until the Suez canal opened
the empire to British navigation and
commerce! The new route also promises
70 give Southern France new branch of
trade in supplying Marseilles, as port
of call, the produce of Brisish India.
It is believed that upwards of $4,000
quarters of India wheat has already been
brought for Marsailles, which is thus
relieved from entire dependence on
Southern Russia and Turkey. A prof.
ect of ship canal from the Mediterra-
neaii to Bordeaux to serve for vessels
that have passed the Suez canal is now
submitted such work would save sew
en- hundred miles of the English voyage,
supply wheat to that portion of France
where it is required and draw off floods
such as destroyed much of last years
harvest in Garonne Valley. The Indian
northwest provinces have their harvest
in February and March, and this year
the first bill Of lading was out by the
10th of April and the cargo actually
arrived last week. The dste of these In
dian supplies is about as important as
their price and quality; arriving in the
early summer, with Australian, they
cannot fail to have an important bearing
on the British markets, as q counter
poise tc American and Russian demands.
As to price, all corn is now regarded as a
product of rent, farm capital and labor,
the latter more and more becoming q
chief item. And it is exactly on account
of the lowness of Indian wages that
Indian wheat must always compete in
cheapness with the product of dear Eu-
ropean and American labor.

LET YOUI Fowls ROOsT OUT.-Thosc
who are so situated that they can, will
find it more beneficial to their fowls to
shut them out of the poultry house, and
make them roost in the trees. They are
harder, healthier, and more growthy for
it, and far less liable to be infected with
lice. Young stock, especially, as soon
as left by the hen, should be encouraged
to roost in the trees. They may be al
lowed to remain out until ice begins to
form in the cool weather of October. 1t
is very rare that the fowls thus raised
are troubled with roup, or snuffles, or get
their comb and wattles frozen.

KEEP FRESH WATER BY YOUR
FowLs.-During the hot summer wealth
er. see to 1t that your fowls haye an
abundance of pure, fresh water. What
ever device you Use, place it in some
shady place. Water vessels of any
kind, under the influence of the mid day
sun. absorb the heat, and soon render
the water unfit to drink. While it may
not perhaps, be actually injurious to the
chicken to drink warm water, it certainly
cannot do them any good. When We
consider what our own feelings would be
were we compelled to quench our thirst,
on hot summer day, with water which
