Water for Cows i'm Pasture.

For mich cows it is very necessary
that the water for them is pure, other
wise it taints the milk, and from this
neither good butter nor cheese a be
made. Where there is not abundance
of clear, running water in yard or past
ure, it should be supplied from wells
or ciStcrns. If drunk from standing
pools or small ponds, the water is al
WAYS more or less foul, or SD stag
nant as TO be u~npalatable. and at times
even unhealthful. In order to obtain a
full flow of milk cows must have all
the water they will naturally drink at
morning, noon and night. otherwise
they will not give full messes of milk,
nor will it be Of so good a quality. But
a running stream, more especially when
at pasture, where they a go and
drink at pleasure, is still better than
that drawn from wells for them three
times per day, al regular intervals.
Necessity, however. often compels the
latter course. Some dairymen, in or
der to increase the flow of milk, stimu-
late their cows to drink an extra guam
tity of water, by extra sitting their
food or stirring a small quantity of
bran or meal in it. But this is objec-
tionable, inasmuch as it tends 10 lessen
the richness of the milk. This also fills
up the stomach sc much as to dilute the
gastric juice and thus injure digestion,
and more or less of the food is conse-
quently voided whole. If there be a
gain in milk, then a loss in food follows
by stimulating TO an excess of drink

TOadS.

FRENCH industry and sagacity take
the lead of the world in little things,
if nothing more. Toad culture is q
regular business there with economic
people and the demand for toads is
great and increasing. The useful little
animals are employed as insect
destroyers. not only in the gardens of
that country. but thousands of them
are packed down in baskets of damp
moss. and sent to the other countries to
be sold to gardeners. The most observ-
inc horticuiturists and llcriculturiSts
have long been aware of their value as
insect d%estroyers. and have utilized
them to a greater or less extent. And
it is net much to the credit of Ameri-
can gardeners and farmers that they
have never recognized the services of
this helpful and innocent little reptile.
Nature conducts her operation by re-
ciprocal means. and if She gives us the
the hurtful insects to eat up our crops.
she also gives Us the birds. toads. etc.,
to eat up the insects. The farmer
should keep a close eye on nature. and
seek 10 make her manifold operations
helpful, instead of casting hindrance in
in the way destroying her agents. The
successful farmer has great need to be
good economic naturalist. Many things.
as ioathsome looking as the toad, are
the farmers friend. -Rural Messenger.

stating that the Old South Literary So

sion. The reply of the genial author
is very characteristic, and we repro
duce it:

Use Of the Harrow.

We are inclined to attach far greater
importance to the harro% and Its par
ticular office in farm practice than is
usually given il. No farmer should re-
gard his set of implements as at all APP
preaching completeness unless he has
at least three, four would be better,
harrows, cultivators, horse hoes, or
similar implements of securing fine
tillage; and no farmer should be con-
tent with a single or even with two
borrowings previous TO putting seed OF
any kind into the ground. Time spent
in narrowing is well employed, as it is
impossible that soil can be too finely or
well prepared as a seed bed. As To the
implements themselves, it is curious to
observe the Improvements, modiiica-
tions and adaptations To uses which the
harrow has undergone from the days OF
the old A shaped and square harrow OF
twenty years ago, to the pulveriZing,
coulter and smoothing harrows OF the
present, The only objection we have
To them is that which obtains in refer
eHce to many classes of II farm imple-
ments< that in many instances they
have been multiplied beyond the actual
necessities of the case, - thai frequent
ly farmers have really more implements
of one kind than they actually need. or
are unnecessarily bewildered in their
choice when making purchases.
But it is as true now as it was
i'm the time of Lord Kames, that
no one harrow, whatever its construc-
ton may be, can be suitable for every
sort of soil, or adapted for fitting the
land for. or leaving il after every kind
of crop. There must be different i'm
elements of ~after-culture 1--WE mean
those which follow the plow) for the
various crops and uses, and for this
reason a number of harrows are needed
on every farm of considerable size.
There must be heavy harrows for break
ing and pulverizing: medium ones for
preparation of the soil, for covering
manure and grass seed. and lighter har-
rows for finishing off the surface, or as
i'm case of some. for actually wedding
the crop. This last operation was for
merly performed with the primitive
bush harrow" made in half an hour
from a head piece and a half-dozen
small white birch bushes-a very COM
mon kind of smoothing harrow years
agu. but now almost entirely suppressed
ell by some form of leveling, smoothing
or wedding harrow. This last nipple
ment seems to be one of far greater use
fulness than would at first appear. For
wedding growing corn. or dressing a
fallow, there is no implement SO well
fitted for the work rs this; and SO far as
we can learn from those who have used
it. every year confirms the good opinion
expressed in its behalf when first intro
duced.-N. T.. Farmer.

Production and Keeping Of Egg.

O~FTENTIMES it is a matter of i'm
portance to keep eggs for a time. When
prices rule low, they may be preserved
in comparative freshness for several
weeks. even in July and August,i if care
be taken TO place them on end as soon
as brought in from the nest. One not
accustomed to handling and care of
eggs can form no idea of the shortness
of time required for the yelk of an egg
to settle on one side, where it adheres
to the shell and quickly spoils in warm
weather. Always place the egg on the
big end. l have tried both ends, and
Lave decided in favor of the former po-
sition. Eggs should be gathered from
the nest every day. and where there
are many hens kept, twice a day. Ii
matters not for what purpose We desire
eggs. the hens that produce them
should always be young and healthy.
EGGS that are to be kept for any length
of time should always be those from
young hens. or if two years old. only
from those in perfect health. If this
rule is closely observed by the breeders
who export eggs for Matching, from one
locality to another, there will be better
satisfaction given. 1t is of much i'm
portance that the eggs have perfect
shells. and a hen not in perfect be ID
may drop her eggs regularity sss che
