4 Good Mess for a Mich CoW.-A
writer who says that one good COW
gives all the milk that was needed in
a family OF eight persons, and from
which was made 260 pounds of butter
last year, gives the following ID his
treatment: eff you desire to get
large yield of rich milk, give your
COW every day water slightly warm
and slightly sailed, in which bran has
been stirred at the rate OF one quart
to two gallons of water. You will
find, If you have not tried this daily
practice, that your COW will give
twenty-five per cent. more imme-
diately under the effects OF it, and
she will become so attached 10 it that
she will refuse to drink clear water
unless very thirsty; but this mess she
will drink most any time and ask ion
more. The amount Of the drink
necessary is an ordinary water pail
full each time, morning, noon aud
night. "-Southern Farm.
Training a COH.-If your colt tries
the common trick OF lying down in
the harness, and one or two cuts of
the whip don't bring him up, drop
that instrument, and get on his neck
and hold hiua down until he Is
thoroughly cowed. This you can do,
in spite of his struggling, if you are
strong and determined, and he will
thus learn that most valuable of all
Lessons, that mis- trainer is stronger
than he. 1t may take an hour or
more, but he won't be likely to repeat
the experiment. Then, in driving,
use q light four-Wheeled wagon, and
log tour to ten miles every other day.
This distance will keep down his
friskiness. At the end of q month
let him out little. He will soon
delight in trying his speed On smooth
stretches, and anticipating them,

pays. Never urge him; he won't
need it if you manage right. 1t isn't
great speed you want at first, so much
as a desire to 60, and a correct move
ment oil the hmhs.-Rev. w. ID. d.

MelLolo Ground for F0leLs.-As often
as once a week, through the hot
months of June and July, it will be
found a good plan to dig over and
turn up the soil, spade-deep, IN the
earth floors OF your fowl-houaes, as
well as through the runs about the
outside of the poultry quarters.
This easy process affords means Tor
exercise again for the birds that are
limited to contracted space. A great
number of worms, grubs, ETC., are
thus brought to the surface, which
the hens and chicks will devour
preedily, and they will scratch fol
these vigorously.
This method, if followed up three
or four times a month, will clean the
premises under foot, and render the
ground healthier for the stock tt
wander over. Before the earth is thu
Ioosened and mellowed, scatter whole
grain over it-oats, barley or whole
wheat. And in this way you ma!
