Hints for the Month.

Be sure to have the ground where you put
onions next spring rich, and to make it So
cover It over with manure now, running II
over in the spring and raking off all the
coarse parts.
Throw your coal ashes around your fruit
trees and under currants and gooseberrles.
Don't throw away or sell wood ashes, but
spread them around your peach and other
fruit trees.
Carefully examine with sharp instrument,
the peach trees wherever gum is escaping,
and kill the grubs.
If Iot done before, trim currauts, grapes
ana goosebcrrics; cut up the cuttings & to IL
inches long, ard bury below frost for spring
setting.
There is nothing better for hot-beds than
leaves mixed with barn-yard manure, as they
produce heat Tor so long time. We advise
hauling now from the woods and throwing
them under the horses and cattle.
To grow good roots from cuttings o.
ounces, currants, gooseberies, Towering
shrubs, etc, ii is we'll to take OF the cuttings
the first open spell and bury in earth, SO they
will callous over before planting out in tho
spring.
Cut scions Of apples. pears and cherries
now, and bury In sand for grating

Ewes MILK.-At meeting Of the North
British branch ofthe Pharmaceutical Society
of Great Britain at Edinburgh on Wednes.
day an interesting paper was read by DR..
Stevenson Macadam on THE Composition of
Ewes Milk" Having observed the extreme
richness If ewes milk as compared with
cows milk and even goats milk, DR.. Maca-
dam arranged a series of trials as to the COM
position OF ewes milk yielded by animals
fed solely on good natural pasture, and on
the same animals after being fed on extra
diet, including llnseed cake, cotton cake and
oats. Taking the total percentage OF solids
by weight in the milk, the average results
were as follows: Town dairy cows milk,
1927; country cows milk, 1871; goat s
milk, 134S; ewes milk on natural pasture,
1915, and ewes milk on natural pasture,
with addition OF feeding stufis, coil; while,
taking the fat in the solids, the town dairy
cows milk gave . %; the country dairy cow S
milk gave 2SS; goats milk, 4.3l; ewes
milk on natural pasture, G.1., and ewes milk
with extra feeding, S21 The superior rich
ness OF ewes milk under any circumstances
of feeding over cows or goats milk was
thus satisfactorily proved.

Fast Walking Horses.

Ii has been :huwn that the production OF
thoroughbred and trotting horses has been
largely in excess OF the death rate, that rs a
necessary sequence the stock in the country
is increasing from year to year, and unless a
foreign demand be created prices must inc.
vitality decline. Breeders should therefore
turn their attention RUrc to tue production OF
fast walking horses, both for the saddle and
general draught. The business would pay
handsomely, for the utility and value of such
horses would soon be properly appreciated,
thus creating steady demand, which would
not likely be diminished, for the next halt
century al least. On the farm a slow-walking
hOIsc Goes not do half the work that rapid
walker Is able to accomplish. In towns and
cities where draught horses are used in the
truck, cart, dray, &c, II IS the same; not hall
the work is performed by the slow walker
who cTawls along at a snail's pace, an33, when
drawing a load, cannot be galvanized into

sance. No matter what work is engaged in

day that he l.yIs.

The cuttings are then stuck in about inches

A NeQlectful Liver.

The bile has three-fold part assigned to
il by the great manager, Nature. 1t assists
in the digestive process, acts as cOloring
agent Of the blood, and is essential to the
evacuative function. When the liver grows
torpid, complete chaos ensues in the stom-
ach and bowels; the bile is injected into the
circulation in large quantities, and constipa-
ton and indigestion are produced. Pains
under the right shoulder blade and through
the right side, headaches, vertigo, yellowness
of the skin, furred tongue and nausea, also
follow. But these and other symptoms Of
biliousness, and the disorders which accom-
pany 1t, are entirely removed by Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, that benign rectincr Of or

THE BLACKBERRY.-It is strange the
blackberry is not more extensively
planted where it succeeds we'll. After
a plantation is once started it requires
but little care and attention. Nipping
back the new growth while growing,
and cleaning between the rows two or
three times in the spring and early sum-
mer, is all that is necessary. They do
better on light, porous soil, and should
not be worked among late in the season,
as it promotes late growth and tender
ness Of plant. They yield. so abund.
antly and sell at such high rates, and Can
be harvested at such low rates, that
they prove one of the most profitable
crops grown where they do not winter
kill. On our farm at Palmyra We have
some eight acres, and they have proved
the most profitable to us of any fruit We
have grown. The Lawton is the old
standby with us, it is so productive and
large. In such States as Virginia, Mary
land, kentucky, Missouri, and in favor
able localities north, where the peach
thrives, the blackberry crop is exceed
ingly profitable, and black and red
raspberries, too, if grown in the States
named, for northern markets pay.-Fruit
