Hogs are sometimes troubled by dis
ordered stomach. The best antidote
is charcoal. Aside from charcoal,
charred corn cobs, or charred corn have
agood effect.
Young cows should not be taught TO
eat at milking time. as it will not al
ways he found convenient TO supply
food, and they will be restless without
it when accustomed to it.
SCOT from a chimney where wood is
used for fuel, is an excellent fertilizer
for pot-plants. Put into a pail and
pour hot wat1r upon it; then water the
plants with this every few days.
Where animals are allowed to feed in
grass lots until the whole is gnawed
closely, no hay can be depended on the
succeeding season, unless a liberal top
dressing of some sort of fertilizer is APP
piled.
A Connecticut dairyman, who has
been experimenting with turnips as food
for cows, thinks they are worth twenty.
five cents a bushel. There is no saving
in the amount of hay consumed, but
they increased the flow of milk, and
were an aid to the digestion of hay and
other dry fodder. European expert.
menters have come TO the same con-.
elusion.
Flowing land when it is very dry -
aearly as hurtful as when it is very wet
But my experience is with heavy clay
or land in which clay is an importan
constitution. Such land when plowe
dry breaks up lumpy, and subsequent
rains do not dissolve the Jumps. 1t is
my opinion that there is never a NOR,
suitable condition for blowing any SOIL
than whenit has enough moisture to
cause the furrows to fall loosely from
the plow, with 10 appearance Of pack

Professor L. B Arnold advises skim
ming the milk as soon as sourness is
perceptible and to churn at sixty de-
grees instead ofseventY, before the cream
gets sou When the butter comes in
eranules, enough cold water or brine
should be put in to reduce the mass to
about fifty-five degrees, when, after a
little slow churning, the granules will
become hard and distinct, and the but
ter be in a condition for was hing out
all the buttermilk. The salt should
then be worked in with as little labor
as possible, and after standing a while
it will be ready to pack. -1Ia,
Hogs when nearly fat are liable to
have a disordered stomach through
over-feeding,refusin their food. The
best antidote for this is charcoal. If
the charcoal is taken from the stove
when cold there willbably be ashes pro
taken upatthes same time; these win
not hurt the hog should he eat a por-
ton OF them. Charcoal is best takena
from an open fireplace. 1t would be
well to have on hand at all times a
barrel or two OF charcoal. aCharcoal
corn cobs or charcoal corn have a good
effect. There is nothing better than
these substances when hogs have the
sours.
