Agricultural Notes.


The urine of all animals, especially those
that are highly fed, is more valuable as ma
nure than the solid excrements, and should
be carefully saved by suitable absorbents.
Scaly legs in fowls are caused by par
site mite which burrows under the skin of
the shank and feet. They may bedestroyed
by applying a mi xture OF lard and kerosene
OIL
Winter is the time for the limbs and mus
clss to rest, and for the activity of the brain
ard intellectual energies. If the farmer neg
lect these, he is FORGETTING his best oDportuni-
ties and interests
Irish grs Tiers remove the horns of cattle
by q sharp gouge when they are calves.
Polled bulIocks are said to be very quiet and
rest comfortably, therefore fattening faster
and treading down less straw.
There is only one other worse thing to
plant oD farm than Canada thIstles-quack
grass and that class of noxlous weeds. IL is
a mortgage. Once successfully planted, 1t
will soon absorb the farm.
Work not rod of land more than you can
work we'll 1t is easier and far more profits-
bic 10 reap sixty bushels from one acre than
fifty from two. Manure and proper Guilt
vation viii enable you to do it,
A California paper says: In order TO keep
their butter over the period of low prices and
hot weather. California dairymen simply
seal up their products in tin cans, sinking
them in the bottom of cold streams. Butter
made in April comes out in October in good
order and continues to keep fresh III the
cool weather of winter. Forty nound cans
are commonly used.
An exchange well says: mo smoking
ought 70 be posted in every barn. There is
not much difference in having horse thief
around the stable and man cleaning horses
with pipe or cigar in his mouth; and there
is no hired man much meaner than the one
who, when his employer comes around, slips
his pipe into his pocket or holds his hand
over it. AL such fellows should be paid off
and started off.
No coed farmar will neglect to cut wood
the coming winter to be used year hence,
as it is poor management to burn green
wood, and it is always best to have your
wood for your family's use under cover, and
so connected with the house that it can be
got at from the kitchen without going out
of doors. If your woodhouse is of ample
size, it will afford you place 10 do many
little jobs in rainy weather, and your boys
can split the wood under it, and pile it up
on wet days.-Exchange.
