A miller of Halliday, Ills, who lost many
hogs from cholera, has found that dry
bran. slightly salted, is good remedy for
It. II the hogs refuse to lit, starve them
until they do. Another farmer claims that
if hogs are given what salt they need in
clean pasture it will have the desired
effect.

An old poultry raiser, who believes in
milk for fowls, says: 1t is meat and drink
both. Some of the finest chickens ! ever
saw were raised upon the free use OF milk
with their food. Hens lay as well, or
hetter. when furnished with this than upon
anv known article offered them"
Smyrna times., 1879-06-11

INSECTS ON SToCK.-Lard and kerosene
are good to keep lice from calves; sulphur
mixed with salt is good to drive ticks from
sheep. Calves, like all animals, should be
kept growing from youth to maturity.
Here is one place where the profit comes
in. There is always loss of time and
feed, and more, too, by allowing young
animals to "stand still' for six months or
more Of the year. Sheep are well clothed
and need shelter from the snow or rain,
and perhaps from the strongest winds, but
cold agrees with them. Feed them well !;
give them plenty of water, in small fiocks,
keep them dry, and they may stay out in
the cold and thrive. A close, dark pen is
a poor place for sheep.

By simply soaking oats in tepid water q
saving NAV be effected in their consump
tion. BY this method the rations for each
animal may be reduced one-third. Horses
whose teeth have seen their best days mas
ticate the grain in its ordinary condition
insuficiently, and younger animals, in theil
greed, often swallow much of it whole. AL
this may be obviated by the remedy sug
gested.
Smyrna times., 1879-06-11

Some one who has experimental in the
matter says that a handful of bran scat
tered in each hill of potatoes when plant.

SWEET CoRN.-The american Cultirator
gives this satisfactory experience with
sweet corn as stock feed: During the past
two seasons have had an acre or more to
cut up when suitable for roasting ears, be-
side what have fed in its green stnte direct
to the cows, and think it is the best feed
that | have ever used for feeding dairy
COWS or fattening animals. In either case
it seems food nearly perfect. The ears
furnish material for fattening or milk, as
the farmer wishes, and the stalks, if cut
when green and we'll cured, will be eaten
very clean and serve the purpose Of hay,
especially for working oxen; and while
they are SO supplied they feel the effects Of
good feeding as readily as on any feed /
have ever given to working oxen.

SUNFLowER SEEDS FOR PoULTRY.-Many
farmers look upon the sunhower as simply
a worthless weed, and never dream Of the
valuable qualities the seeds of this plant
possess. For several years they have been
used by breeders of fancy poultry as food
for choice birds; in small quantities, they
are mixed with the other food, and the
peculiar properties of the seeds impart a
beautiful gloss which no grain will give to
the plumage of the adult birds. For those
who raise fancy fowls for exhibition, it is
essential to perfect success that the plum
age should be in perfect condition, and to
attain satisfactory results, we can recon-
mend no more valuable aid than judicious
feeding of this seed. 1t has long been
known that the oil extracted from sun.
flower seeds makes dressing for the hair
which is very beneficial, imparting smooth
ness and vigor highly appreciated by all
who have tried it. 1t grows very readily
and the poultryman should not forget this
cheap and useful assistant to his labors.

Those who are troubled with the terrible
pest known as the cabbage worm might
find relief in the following simple remedy +:
"For every hundred of cabbage take q
quarter of pound of black pepper and
nut in box large enough to sift out well.
Go into the patch before the dew is off and
pepper the cabbage. Two or three times
will be sufficient. The worms 60 through
the leaves and die"
Smyrna times., 1879-06-11

REMEDIES FOR THE CABBAGE WoRM.-I
have tried most of these that have been
given in the papers, but have found none
Of them both efficient and easy of applica
tion. | have had the best success with hot
water, but it requires some care to have the
water hot enough to kill the worms and
not hurt the cabbage. / have found one
hundred and sixty degrees Of the ther-
mometer efficient and safe if rightly APP
piled, through a sprinkling water-pOt, and
not continued too long, nor so as to have
the hot water lodge in the heart of the
plant. If it is cooler than one hundred
and sixty many of the older Larvae will not
mind it-as their skin sheds water like a
ducks back. have tried adding to the
water little coal oil, also carbolic acid,
salt, etc, but none were quite effective
to the difficulty of wetting the skins of the
pests. Occasionally l have found them
moist with dew, so that the powdered
hellebore or black pepper busted over them
would stop their mischief. Who has found
a satisfactory remedyP
