The most successful farmer is the one who
knows how to save and wisely apply every
thing about his premises in the shape Of ma
nure. After having exhausted every resource
of his own, the farmer can look around for
commercial fertilizcrs--if he should need
them. In the first place see that everything
possible is saved in the horse stable like to
have this stable nice and clean. have a tight
floor of oak plank just little sloping. l
keep constantly on hand a supply of sawdust
and keep the floor Uttered with it. All liquids
are absorbed by the sawdust and being mix

very valuable manure. 1t will heat quickly
and become fire fanged' if allowed to nc
cumulate too long time. My plan has been
to haul and spread it almost fast as made
on whatever field was pasturing or intend
ing to pillow for some crop. My method with
cattle is different. In winter l keep them all
stabbed and have constant supply of litter
under them sufficient to keep them clean and
dry Whenever the accumulation of manure
gets too large l haul il away, spreading it i'm
mediately. In the daytime l let the stock
run to a straw stack in the barnyard, which is
small in compass and supplied with a pump
for watering.
In the spring pile all the accommodations
of the farmyard in compact heap and let it
remain until after harvest, by which time it
will be thoroughly fermentcd and decayed. If
there should be any straw remaining i'll the
stack, l see that it is thoroughly mingled with
the debris of the heap, so that it may be de-
composed. I usually have n mowing-feld
which intend to put in corn the next season,
As soon as this is moved, l spread on all the
manure from the barnyard I then pasture

Hints on Horse Keeping.

The wide stall is a luxury, and ought to be
six or even ten feet wide, if room can be
spared. Loose boxes are important for horses
of great value; in such stalls they can get
perfect repose by changing their position, re-
cover from the fatigue of hard days drive,
and be ready for their task the next day. The
food best adapted to the horse is oats and hay
of the best quality, occasionally varied with a
bran mush, with turnips or carrots as an al
terative. The growth and development of
bone and muscle depend greatly upon the
food they eat. 1t is important to select such
as contains all the elements needed to form
bone and muscle of the horse. 1t is self-evi-
dent that the nutritive matter supplied by the
food must be equal to the exhaustion, or nat
ural waste of the body, to keep up condition.
The horse that is about to be driven on
journey needs hardening by exercise-prepar-
ing by sweating out the body to purify and
increase the circulation of the blood, and also
by handwriting the legs to make them firm
and elastic-a preparation in some degree
| corresponding with that attained 10y a horse
| that lis daily driven on the road for ordinary
work. For one week previous to the start
| they need daily exercise. commencing with
| eight or ten miles, and gradually increas-
| ing to twenty PER day. This exercise, with
appropriate food, will harden their muscles
strengthen their limbs and prepare them to
| perform their tasks without giving out on the
road, materially declining in flesh or serious
| ly exhausting their physical powers
If we perform long drives with horses ac-
customed to short work only, the sudden tran
stion from Incidence to great eXertion will
relax their muscles weaken their joints, de.
press their spirits and break down their con-
stitution. The leading cause of so many val
liable horses being spoiled by long drives is
from being short of work. They are not pre-
| pared for such severe eXertions Condition
will prepare them to perform their work
| cheerfully, last out with sound limbs, and pre-
serve their constitutional vigcr for future use
