ss- Comparatively few, even among those who
have been accustomed to seeing domestic animals
about them on the farm, realize how rapidly cat
tie, sheep and horses would multiply if all the
female progeny allowed to breed each year.
If 100 cows and their female progeny be kept at
breeding for ten years the result will be as fol-
lows, estimating the 40 per cent. of the cows
would have heifers which would, beginning when
years old, in their turn have young:

it will work perfect cure.

Care of Carriage Tops in Summer
Sponge off the top with clean cold water immedi-
ately after using. This will remove all dust and
tend to keep the enamel soft and elastic, and pre-
vent its sticking. 1t should be oiled occasionally
with sweet oil, applied with cloth, and afterward
rubbed with a linen or silk rag. The top should
always be kept up when standing in the carriage
house, and be covered with a sheet. If the enamel
has cracked or turned gray, the top should be
washed off with CASTLE soap and soft water, and
well dried with "shammy." All parts where the
enamel is off and the leather is exposed should be
colored with vinegar and iron rust, and afterward
rubbed over with a coat of backing, prepared by
mixing small quantity of ivory black with a
sufficient quantity of brandy to reduce it to a
paste, and thinned with cream or sweet oil apply
with cloth, and allow it to stand until nearly
dry, then rub with woollen cloth until all surplus
color is removed; apply thin coat of sweet oil,
and polish with silk rag. This will restore the
color, soften the leather and prevent the enamel
sticking.

Blinkers.-A writer says the question has
often been asked "Why do persons use blinkers
on horses" but we cannot answer it, 1t seems to
US that they are useless, ugly, and, to some ex-
tent, injurious to the eyesight. The most beauti-
full feature of the horse is its eye. If it were not
"hid from our gaze," it would serve to denote
sickness, pain, pleasure. Many time would
driver spare the whip on seeing the animals
imploring eye. The argument in favor of blink
is, we believe, that horses afraid of pass
ing carriages This objection, if valid, is of little
weight, as such timidity would soon be overcome.
We trust now the cruel bearing rein has been east
aside, that blinkers will also be abandoned-a
course which would, we feel assured, be attended
with advantage to both man and horse.

Spontaneous Combustion In Barns

Spontaneous Combustion In Barns
The annual recurrence of numerous barn burn
ings Immediately after harvest, and at the time
when such disaster entails the greatest loss the
farmer, gives rise anew to the discussion of the
various theories of Spontaneous combustion"
1t is very widely held among farmers, and just as
earnestly denied by many of them, that damp
hay oats will give out degree of heat that
will cause conaagration, and that piece of iron
or steel fork left in the body of the grain, will
itensify the danger 1t is mooted question of
great interest that easily be settled by scen-
tifc investigation, and to which our agricultural
societies should give their attention. The farmers
want illumination on the subject of different
sort from that which is afforded by their blazing
barns.

Avoid Farm Mortgages.-A correspondent
gives the following wholesome advice on mort
cages to farmers. He says: "Mortgages are
necessary and beneficial in civilized society, but
there are unpleasant features about them. They
often enable man to accomplish what he could
not otherwise do, and they also often involve a
man who would have otherwise been successful.
They often enable man to get out of trouble
which he could not otherwise avoid, and they per-
haps equally often make miserable life which
would have otherwise been happy. 1t is easy to
get them on the farm, but it is not always so
easy to get them off. Farm mortgages are about
the best investment that capital can find. Invest
ors generally like them. They partake of the
nature, permanence and other substantial quail
ties Of real property, but are relieved from many
burdens imposed on land.
Therefore Il. Do not mortgage the farm I'M
less it seems absolutely necessary. But, as gen.
eral rule is less valuable than particular one, it
may be well to specify by adding 2. Do not
mortgage to build fine house. By so doing,
you will have to pay money for an investment
which does not bring money. 3. Do not mort
gage the farm to buy more land. Where there is
an absolute certainty that more can be made out
OF the land than the cost of the mortgage, this
rule might not apply. But absolute certainty is
rare, mistaken calculation is common. 4. Do not
mortgage the farm unless you sure of the
continued fertility of its SOIL Many persons Dor
row with an expectation of repayment based on
an experience of the lands virgnity only, which,
on failing, may leave the land less productive,
and the means of repayment thus be removed.
In this way trouble begins which may result in
the loss of the farm. Keep very clear of mort
pages"
