Loss Of appetite, thirst, diarrh1a gen

are the principal symptoms OF chicken
cholera.
For throat distemper, crate hne . rusAu.

ing spoonful, MIXED with bran or oats. II
is good for a cough also.
Some one who has expermested IN the
matter says that . handful OF bran scat
tered in each hill Of potatoes between Vaant-
ing will increase the yield one-third.
A dsiryman says: Never keep poor
COW the second year. No man can AFFORD
to keep COW that will not make from DO
to 10 pounds Of butter or its equivalent
every year.
For tomatoes and potatoes take one
wheelbarrow load OF earth where the vine
is 10 stand and Gil IN with half coal ashes
and half sail. The yield viii be nearly
doubled thereby.
A grave mistake Is made by farmers
who think that stock must not be fed al
home after the first appearance OF grAss.
Stock will show this false economy all

are considerations which should not be
neglected.
In making flower besis never have .

droulh hit. Keep the bege Of the Jed about
an inch below the surface OF the cod. slcp-
ing or elevating the bed slightly toward
the centre.
Il is a great mistake 10 keep cattle
stabbed all winter and then turn them out
in the String. exposing them 10 cold
storms Of wind and rain. Stock. especial
" dairy stock. and all animals giving
milk, should be carefully protected in the
spring until the days and nights are
warm.
