Saving Seed Corn.

The growing OF good, sound seed
corn that will yield maximum crop.
properly begins a year beforehand in
the shaping of the character of the
seed. Therefore select the seed Of
lSsi.5 from the cars already growing
in the field, and give 1t special care.
As a rule, any thrifty farmer can
raise better seed than he can buy,
and it should he in his programme
every year to give blc personal attcn.
ton TO the growing of his own seed
corn. There is money in it. The
average yield of Indian corn for the
whole country is not far from %
bushels TO the acre, and the total yield
sometimes reaches one billion. seven
hundred million bushels. With the
best husbandry, which means good
seed, good soil, manure and tillage. it
is not difficult to raise 7j bushels TO
the acre. II fine, sound seed corn,
with n good pedigree, would add only
ten per cent, to the yield OF this crop,
it would increase the annual yield ans
hundred and seventy millioa bushels,
worth eighty,Ave million dollars.
Every thinking farmer must see that
be has a money interest in securing
good seed corn, and In knowing Just
what he plants, lie Is suffering loss
every year probably from want of
little timely attention to this matter,
He uses unsound corn, possibly. for
seed, selects from the corn crib the
best he can find, or borrows from
neighbor as careless as himself about
the seed that be plants. A part Of
The corn rots In the field, and he has
to plant over, which makes extra OK.

The feeder cannot err in giving too
great variety in the food Of sheep.
The best ration We have ever known
fed 70 fattening sheep was composed
Of equal parts by weight Of oats,
corn, peas and millet, and TO fifteen
bushels Of the mixture was added
one bushel Of faxseed, all ground
fine together. Each sheep was fed
two pounds Of this ground mixture
with hay, and made a regular gain Of
three pounds each per week, besides
growing an unusually fine staple Of
wool. This small amount OF faxsced

How to Cure Egg Eating.

Sometimes the habit 10 formed by
the carelessness OF the kitchen maid
or house.keeper, in throwing the egg.
shells into the pail and giving them
with the other waste TO the hens.
This should never he done. if YOU
want the hens to respect their own
eggs. Understanding the cause Of
this unthrlty habit, il is not very diff
iicuIt to provide remedy. From a
recent experience, we have found
that the habit is very much broken
by an abundant supply of crushed
shells. 1t had grown so bad in a
hock of twenty Light Brahmas, ow-
ing TO neglect of this ration, that
they devourcd every egg. without the
closest watching, at the cackle Of
every laying hen. Giving the shells
every morning, the craving cease, and
we found the eggs remaining in the
nests undisturbcd. As an assistant
TO this remedy, We manufactured an
egg-trap from n common nest.box.
This is so simple that any one ac-
customed TO the use OF tools can
make 1t in an hour or two. 4 slight
inclination Of the board upon which
the nest-egg is fastened will cause the
new,laid egg TO roll away from under
the hen, beyond her reach, as soon as
it IS dropped The rear board has
the same inclination toward the CEN
ter, and projects over the other board
far enough to protect the egg when it
has rolled away. The space between
the boards is just wide enough 70 give
free passage TO the eggs. The egg
box may be lined with a handful Of
sawdust, or chah, to protect the shells
from cracking It the back board be
furnished with hinges, it can be used
as 4 lid, TO allow OF the removal Of
the eggs. 1t is a complete cgg.trap,
and with the oyster shells, in cur case,
abatcd the nuisance Of egg eating.
Many think, that when hen has con.
tracted the habit Of cgg-cating, the
shortest way is the best, and instead
OF eating she is put in a condition TO
be eaten. But a good layer is too
valuable to be given mp without an
effort 10 reform her bad habit. often

Rubbing the Tail.

Rubbing the tail is frequently in
duced by the presence, within the
anus, of a species Of intestinal pars.
site known as sscaridcs. which are
source Of irritation. A simple and
efficient remedy for this is salt and
water, which may be thrown into the
rectum with a syringe; or one ounce
Of spirits Of turpentine, mixed with
one pint OF linseed oil, may be adj
ministered In q similar manner. High
feeding, the accumulation of filth,
dandruf, vermin, etc, is often the
cause Of the horse rubbing his tail.
The treatment consists in the free
use OF soap and water, change oC
diet to green food, and the applica-
tion of wash made OF bicarbonate
soda, one ounce, water, two plnts,
prussic acid, two drs. mix.

tors and becoming adapted to warm

bred for. At any rate, this is true
as 70 enduring a Northern climate.
The pcculiarities required by cattle
TO enable them to stand a Southern

domestic animals were first utilized
by uncivilized men, and were, Of
course, held 10 localities quite rcsiric-
ted in extent and from these have
spread into a great variety Of elm
mates, doing better in some than in
Others. The claim that different To-
calities have produced different dis

being attributed to the climate. is only
partially true. because many Of The
