Farmer rays the est way to cure 6
COW of this kicking catch her leg
when she kicks, anu hold it up as d
smith does that of horfe to shoe it.
Do not let her put it down until
soma one has MIXED her. A single

will surely cure.
Various opinions are held SIS toI
the proper way OF training tomato
vines. An exchange says: Tomatoes
should never be allowed to lie Oh
the ground. Supports in the way of
horizontal wires or Stats fastened to
upright p1sts pay for the trouble
they cost. The fruit will be earlier,
more plentiful and so much nicer If
kept up out of the dirt.
Says the Prairie Farmsi: For
lawns nitrate of soda is cleanly
and effective fertilizer. Spfinkled
broadcast at the rate of half to
three quarters of q pound the square
rod, it promotes the growth of the
grass, imparts a vivid green to the
color, and is frte FROM the obje c.
tions to guano or other animal fer
tilizers. The best time to apply it
lis just after rain.
The watering trough is too often
neglected. IL Ia not an ur commeu
thing to find troughs filed with green
moss and litter which has fallen into
them. Isrequires bat few momentt
each day TO remove all this, and il
should not be counted as duty, bu
a pleasure, to attend to it regularly a
least once a day. or ofte ner, if reces
ssry. Your cattle and borses enjoy
drinking from clean trough as much
as you do from q clean glass. snd they
detest filthy one as much as you Ct
a filthy glass; the only difference il
that they cannot express themselves
concerning it, and you can.
Says the n. E. Farmer While
there ls no better feed for pre- docine
a large flow of milk than good pas
ture, yet good pasture through ihs
season is go rarely to ke bad, an(
cattle shrink so rapidly when thu
food becomes short, that soiled Of
stall fed cows will give, taking the
year through, more milk than these
which depend upon ordinal y pasture
feed. Give plenty of pure frest
water, and cows will soon learn tC
eat dry food in summer as well as II
winter.
