Whenever the treatment of disease is I'M
dertaken by the farmer or stock-raiser how
ever simple may be the case il is well to re-
member certain practical points, not only in
tho interest of the animal, but in that of the
owner as well. Thus the action of medicine
differs, not only in the different species of an
finals, but also in animals of tho same species,
dependent upon their age and condition, and
stage of the disease. Salts form one of the
best purgatives for cattle and sheep, while
for the horse, Aloes is best adapted. The
action of Rhuharb, Colocynth, and Jalap up
on the horse is almost nothing. Large guam
titles of poisonous substances may be taken
by horses and cattle with comparative impu-
nifty, while certain drugs may be administer
cd to man without injury, which in the same
quantity would prove fatal to a dog. The
fact that liquid substances, if given slowly,
pass directly into the dgesting stomach of
the Illuminating animals explains why it is
best to administer drugs in q fluid form to
cattle and sheep if we need their speedy and
certain action. In the administration of lid
uids especially, the tongue should not be
held, for the entrance to the windpipe is left
unguarded, and sufocRtion may be produced
by the passage of foreign substances directly
into the lungs. Fortunately much more rel-
ance is now placed upon the restorative powers
of nature than upon physio in the treatment

only their use should be governed by reason
and common sense. As auxilaries to the ad-
ministration of medicine, u proper regard
should be paid to the diet ventilation, aud
exercise of the animal A complete change
of diet, especially in the spring, is often of
great service to stock that appear to be out
of condition.
Tor the horse that has lost its appetite, is
hide bound, and otherwise tout of sorts"
nothing acts better than bran mashes, which
should be always made with boiling water.
These are laxative, afford some nutriment,
and serve to assist the action of purgatives
An old writer on this subject remarks 'As
food, mashes are remarkably soothing, and
emollent. 1t is like keeping the fat and gou-
ty patient, who has had more than his share
of the good things of this life, on turnips, or
on bran, or on sawdust pudding" Washes
may be also made of oats, malt, linseed, bar
ley, and other grains after being bruised or
ground. Poultices and lamentations act
through the heat and moisture which they
impart whatever may be the substances en-
ployed. They should be always light, of
proper consistenoe, and not applied too hot,
or bound on too tightly. To prevent evapo-
ration, oiled silk or India rubber cloth should
be placed as an outer covering -1m. Agri-

The Springfield Republican of Monday
contains careful crop rep orts from correspond
ents throughout western Massachusetts,, Yer
mont and Connecticut. These show that,
while the season is late, recent rains have adj
vanced vegetation rapidly, and the prospects
of nearly all the crops are hattering. The
acreage of tobacco in the Connecticut valley
is gradually decreasing, raisers seeming to be
discouraged by last years low prices. Pota-
toes and corn are being planted more abund-
antly, and when harvest time comes both
products will probably be plenty and cheap.
An unusually heavy grass crop may be ex-
pected in most places. Winter grains suffer
cd some from snow and ice, but generally
promise well. An unusual apple crop for an
''of year is predicted; the drouth of last
summer killed Off the fruit and left the trees
energy enough to bear this year. The pros
poets for plenty of other fruit are good.
In this state the reports indicate that the
grass crop, the most important crop of ALL is
to be unusually heavy. Everywhere the
roots have come out of the winter vigorous
the crop is thickly set, and under the recent
heavy rains is growing rapidly. 1t is pre-
dicted that the crop of hay throughout the
state will be larger than has been cut for sew
eral years. In the case of winter grains too,
there is everywhere the same promise, and ali
have an excellent start. Apple orchards
have blossomed well, though not profusely
and there is every reason to believe the yield
will be good. There is indication, also, that
there will be an abundance of pears and small
fruits. The backward spring made the
farmers put off planting q couple of weeks
longer than usual, and little therefore, can
be said as to the outlook for corn potatoes
and early sown grains. In many places
farmers did not plant their potatoes and corn
till last week, and but few patches of either
are now above ground in the state. More
corn and potatoes, however have been plant
ed than for several years. much of the former
being intended for fodder while there is
about the usual acreage of oats, rye and
wheat, all of which grains are up and promis
ing. In Orange and Windsor counties more
barley has been sown than ever before
Farmers complain that the potato bug is al
ready on hand in large numbers, waiting pa
tiently for the vino on which he feeds; and
the cut worm is doing considerable injury in
gardens, particularly in Windham county.
How much these pests will injuro the crops
in the end it is now to early too predict.
Many farmers along the Connecticut in
Windham county have given up growing to.
bacco for time, partly because of the short
ness of the season, partly because the crop is
generally Improbable. On the whole, the
Vermont farmer is sanguine and the dairy
man content, for both see ahead an abund-
ance of hay and the farmer is certain that
with ordinary weather the general harvest of
1888 will be one of the richest gathered in
many years.

DR.. Sturtevants late bulletin on corn plant
ing gives some interesting experience. He
finds that shallow planted corn, with the soil
firmly pressed about the seed, gives stronger
and better plants than deep planting. In
deep planting the plant food contained in the
kernel is nearly or quito exhausted before the
plant reaches the light, when it is enabled to
draw its food from other sources. "The root
of the shallow planted seed passes downward
in the form of tap root, and longitudnally
in the form of fibrous roots, giving the plant
a secure hold of the soil and the closest OBJ
servation upon plants grown from seed plant
ed at various depths-from one-half inch,
one inch, two inches, etc, to eight inches
showed alike firm roofing and power to with
stand the heavy winds which came in au-
tumn." He found that corn planted with a
machine gave a much better stand than when
planted by hand. This is largely attributed
to the fact that the wheels passing over the
grain after it is deposited, press the earth
firmly in contact with the seed" The OBJ
seryations last year seem to indicate that ma
nuring in the hill is OF little benefit toward
increasing the growth of the plant in its early
stages. The feeding roots of the plant are
found away from the hill, in some instances
to distance Of twelve feet. 1t would seem
from the doctors experience that broadcast
manuring and level culture to avoid disturb
ing the fbrous roots would give the best re-
sulta

Last year being the even and abundant
year for the apple crop, and especially so
with the Baldwin, the trees in a small orchard
were nearly all profusely filled with blossoms
with the exception of few which bear odd
years. We had all the blossoms sheared from
three trees which were particularly abundant
in bloom, and these trees of course bore no
fruit last season, while others were loaded
Now at the present time of writing MAY 49,
the three sheared trees are full of blossoms
while all the others about them are destitute
These trees being large, or some fifteen years
old, two or three hours or more were required
to shear each tree, which was effected by
using sheep-shears and short ladder. If
the operation had been performed when the
trees were small and had begun to bear small
crops, the labor would have been slight and
the probability would have been greater of
the change in the year remaining permanent
This remark may prove a valuable suggestion
to those who have young orchards in the
early years of their bearing, and who wish to
have equal crops in both seasons. - Country

Prof. Sanboru continues the feeding exper-

hay the value of whole corn against corn
meal of heterogeneous concentrated food when
fed with carbonaceous food like straw and

ceous food like corn meal with straw and
corn fodder. His experiments tend to show
that corn meal is worth more than enough
more than whole corn to pay the cost of
grinding that corn fodder, cut and crushed
in machine and fed with moderate quaint
ties of grain, is equal to hay and that pre-
pared and fed in this way it can be fully uti-
lized, as it is nearly oil eaten. If fed alone
he considers corn fodder to have a practical
value about equal to three-fourths that Of
good hay. Straw when fed in connection
with grain, compared with corn fodder, pound
for pound, gave a somewhat larger gain.
Cotton seed meal supplying the albuminoids
in which corn fodder is deficient, was found
to give the best result per pound of food
eaten. Prof. Sanborn recommends clover
hay as the cheapest and most effective source
of albuminous food. He says that in several
years of experimenting he has never failed to
get good results with clover fed with straw or
corn fodder as good as with clear timothy
hay. All of these coarse foods can be utilized
by the use of the cutter and clover hay.

The bearing year for apples was in 1889,

the so called non-bearng or of year, yet the
chance is good for moro fruit than We had
last season. There appears to have been
nearly an average blossoming of tho trees
sufficient in most orchards for q good crop
From sections of New England and New

We notice that some Of the papers have been
discussing the question of the bearing year
whether it is the even or odd year. 1t is the
even year that the kinds most commonly Gull
tivated bear the the fullest. The great yields
of fruit have generally been in the even years,
though it sometimes happens that there is a
light crop in the even year, and a good crop
in the odd year Last year was poor season
forapples though it was an even year, and we
hope this year will be good one, though it
is On odd year. Any good year for fruit is
