FIELD AND FARM.
Farming Notes.

Mr.. Charles Dudley Warner having
tasted carp in Germany realized then
"why that government is kindly send

He adds that Though in some respects
the carp and stories about carp differ,
nevertheless, is one particular they are
both alike-it is very difficult to swallow
either"
Professor E. NJ. Shelton, of the Kan
sas Agricultural College Farm, having
tired OF the necessarily wasteful way of
feeding loose salt to stock; now finds
that a six-inch lump of rock-salt IN a

healthful plan which proves entirely
satisfactory"
The 700 delegates of the National con-
vention OF dairvmen at Cincinnati were
furnished interesting, il unpaiaIa5le,
truths regarding cheese by a professor
from Rochester. He said that cheese
was net usually made as it should be.
"The fact is, we don't know how TO
make cheese One fault of the cheese
of commerce is that it goes on the mar
stages it is indigestible.
Whatever good points horse may ac-

largely on ancestry; and If this be or

accomplishing much with the progeny.

Diseases of Swine.

Coburn's "Swine Husbandry" has a
chapter on diseases of swine, describing
the symptoms and prescribing remedies.
Mango is neither constitutional or a
blood disorder, but is caused by parasi-
tic insects which burrow in the skin or
bv a fungoid plant which grows in the
substance OF the skin and destroys It,.
Either form of the disease is extremely
contagious. 1t appears first by falling
off of the hair; the skin then becomes
dry and scurfy; then cracks and exudes
a yelowish matter, witch forms scaD5
on it and ltches intolerably, so that the
animal is continually rubbing itself. Inc
disease effects rats, cats, dogs, and
horses, but the smaller animals, mostly,
and these frequently carry it abroad
and infect other animals. The
treatment is as follows: The animal
should be washed with warm water
and soap and the skin com
pletely cleaned and softened. A corn
cob is an excellent thing to use to rub
and cleanse and soften the skin. As
soon as the sK'n is wiped dry Is should
be well rubbed with the following mix
ture: One pint ofsweet-oil, a quarter OF
a pint of kerosene oil, and two ounces
of -four of sulphur; the sulphur being
first rubbed with some of the oil to form
a cream. The mixture is well shaken,
poured on the skin and we'll rubbed in
with folded cloth saturated with it. A
teaspoonful of sulphur may al7o be Civ
eu daily IN the food, The effect of this
is to saturate the blood and to throw of
fumes OF the sulphur through the skin
and thus reach the parasites which may
escape the outward application. The
pen should be thoroughly cleansed with
boiling water and soft soap and then
white washed, as it also becomes infected
wherever the animals rub themselves,

surveying Tor new railroad between Wa
basha and Plainview are very reticent in

| line from Plainview to Eau Claire, crossing
the Mississippi river at Wabasha, which, II
| done, will tap the Chippewa pineries and
| furnish a more direct route for the extern
sive lumber trade in the Southwest than the

Onportuni les for Young Men.

There are plenty Of young men who
would become experts in the rearing OF
improved domestic animals if they could
have the right kind of reading matter
placed within their reach, and would
make beginning, which they could do
with half the care and self denial incur
red IN the city undertaking. Young
men do not sufficiently consider that
the rearing OF the better classes of farm
stock, while properly managed, is one
of the most remuneratiVe branches OF
farming, is in its infancy, and very far
from being even moderately we'll devel-
oped. One conspicuous evidence of this
is seen in the very small proportion OF
f.rners in any country, no matter
what state you look over,
who have stock suitable for
exhibition at agricultural shows, or for
sale for breeding purposes. the purpose
being to rear other than the lower
grades. The idea SO commonly enter
tainei, that high bred farm stock be-
longs properly only in the hands of a
few who have made it SPECIAL study
and have unlimited capital, is an error.
There is no valid reason why the smith
at the cros5-road should not make as
good horseshoe as is turned out at the
factory, where they make thousand or
more an hour, and where large capital
is involved; neither is there any reason
why the farmers son, on a plain, un-
adorned farm, with COW stable costing
a hundred or two, should not be able to
breed and rear animals of any race or
breed, equal to those to be found in the
largest breeding establishments any
where.-Country Gentleman.
