cause the COW to give milk, the cream

all events, as the coloring matter is now

Horses.-The breaking up of winter
brings heavy roads aud severe work
for teams When extra eXertion is
called for. it should be done deliberate
" and with caution. Chains and har-
ness should be strong: sudden Jerks are
dangerous TO the leans, harness, and
wagons. Above all things driver
should be patiest and gentle. Willing
animals should never be fretted by the
obstinacy or stupidity of ignorant hired
men. Just now let the farmer keep a
sharp eve on his horses.
Sheep and LdmJS-Upon warm
DAYS the ticks will be active. and the
sheep may be noticed rubbing them
selves against walls and fences. For
ticks, pint of solution of Buchan's
"Carbolic Dip" may be poured on TO
the sheep through the spout OF com
mon kerosene oil can. Part the wool
along the back, and pour the dip so
that il runs down the sides.
.S,cine.-Sows that have not been
bred, may be coupled this month.
This will bring the pigs in June, and
give time to have market pigs for the
holidays, or fine store pigs for wintering
over.
Vermin.-As the sun gets warm in
the middle of the day, lice will become
troublesome upon calves, pigs and
fowls. Nothing is So fatal TO lice as
grease. a mixture of lard and kerosene
oil is very disagreeable to these pests
Put the mixture wherever it will dc
the most harm to the parasites and the
most good to the infested animals.
PouHry.-Itis now that the early
layers will become broody. March OIL
April chicks are livery profitable, and
every broody hen should be set at once
Give clean nests of oat-straw or hay,
and put a handful of feathers under th,
eggs TO keep them warm when the hen
is of the nest to feed.
Cdtdrrh and Roup.-We have neve
seen SO much disease amongst poultry
as in the present season. There arr
many half blind hons whose sigh
might have been preserved by a it'll
care. When The eyes become gumme,
up aud the nostrils discharge, it is frs
catarrh. and then follow roup. Wasl
the heads and eyes with warm waite
and vinegar ana then touch the nos
triIs and the throat with a feather dipe,
in solution of pinch OF chlorate O
potash in a tablespoonful of warn
water.

SHEEP TO RESOvATE PAsrCREs.-A
New Hampshire subscriber buys sheep
at $3.50 per head, puts good Cots
would ram with them, and thus gets
very fine spriEg lambs. His old pas.
lures, overrun with brush, are heavily
stocked with these sheep, aud the sheep
are fed a pint of cotton-seed meal
apiece TO make up for the scant pasture
feed. The results are: fine fat mutton
heavy wool, first class spring lambs,
the pastures entirely cleared of brush
in three years, and luxuriant growth
of the best Of feed. An example worth
MISUNDERSTANDING.

AIRING BEDs.-No housekeeper has
any valid claim TO neatness, cleanliness.
aud tidiness, who makes her beds as
soon as they SIRE vacated; or, if she has
such claim, it is based .on the condi-
ton of ignorance. To demonstrate this,
let it be remembered that of all food
and drinks taken, about three.fiiths
pass out of the system through the out
lets of the skin-the pores, about seven
millions in number. This waste and
effete putrid matter is dead and pois-
onous, passing off more rapidly by
night, and becoming, more or less en-
tangled in the bedding and on the sur
face Of the bGdy.-Hence the necessity
for bathing and brushing, with still
greater necessity for airing and purify
ing the bedding. This is done most
effectuslly by exposure in the light Of
the sun, and in morning air. Indeed
the sun is the great purifier. and "noth-
ing is hid from the heat thereof" And
here it NAV be remembered that the
bedding of the sick, SO soon saturated
by the filth Of acute disease, by being
changed once in at least six hours. and
exposed 10 the free sunlight for the
same time, will be safe with half the
washing otherwise absolutely needed
Such clothes cannot be kept too clean,
while there is no danger of too much
care in these respects. as one of the
means OF controlling such acute disease
rs fevers and infsmmations.
The Dutch method of placing all Of
the movable cloths OF the bed ON two
chairs. near the window, allowing them
to remain till afternoon, might well
be copied by Yankee housekeepers.-

You've VERSUS AGEp HENs.-There Is
science in the keeping of poultry sue
cessfully, especially with sizabie fooks
and limited area Of yard. A hen is a
contradictory bird, until studied and
understood, and those most familiar
with her, tell us that close knowledge
of her habits aud methods are essential
| TO the hes, success. Some mrn know
their fowls. and always have eggs and
chickens, others not 81 well acquainted
with their habits have the birds, but
not theseggs nor the chickens which
they expect.
There are one or two facts in "A hens
life which it is well To remember. She
LAYS not all the time. bur in successive
litIers OF eggs. follow by period Of
rest. This rest is a physiological nee
essi,y. aud in the natural state is the
provision for the Matching of the eggs
previously laid. aud to give opportunity
for the moult. Consequently. alter the
setting and the mouli. we expect
recommencement of the LAYING period.
How unwise then 10 "break up" the
setting hen, and feed her with siimu-
lating food! Then again. the Young
hen lays a larger litter than the aged
fowl. II is probable that the. first and
second years OF tho hens life is the
most productive o; eggs. How unpro-
titable then to Kill of the yonng .toris.
and TO leave the aged fowls.
The hen keeper who succeeds the
best il he who exercises the most judi
cious supervision over his flock; who
allows the natural proclivities 10 take
their course. and who checks the sit
ting proclivities of aged fowls by death.
The Young fowle: sits and rests, and
then lays; the aged fowl sits and rests,
and then laws; the aged fowl, in whom
the reproducing organs are weaken.
ed, often takes in sitting an umprefi,-
able to the ownerl rest. Let the hen.
keeper remember, that to produce the
largest average number of eggs for
flock, he must keep young fowls; these
he must study in order to nationally,
