Farm and Live stock Notes

slated sometimes works wonders.
| Field daisies have sometimes been crowded
out by cropping with orchard grass.
The burr oak has been known to reach 6
| height OF seventeen feet in twelve years
from the acorn.
Any black substance like ball or band ol
cloth on the end of pole may often be used
to good effect In inducing swarming bees to
alight On.
In fattsaing any kind of live stock il
should be observed that a varsity of food
enables more sustenance to be taken, and
hestens the formation of fat.

provide needed drainage to the greatest area.
To drain one acre of marsh may cost more
than to drain five or ten acres of slightly wet

Scours in Sheep-A successful remedy may
be had by giving q mixture of four ounces
of new linseed oil and two of lime water at

be followed by a wineglass full of ginger tea

A Good Farm Sled-A handy Implement

a stone-b boat, but having only two plankS or
runners, each about eight inches wide and
placed sled fashion. Such a one may answer
admirably for drawing all sorts of loads over
wet or muddy ground. Manure may be
drawn on it to advantage in spring and

fences and even ends of fence posts that go

as durable as those of the most costly paints.
The article is quickly applied, as it flows
readily from the brush, and in our use of it

Detecting Poisonous Fungi-Ons or tive
general cautions can be given which will be
OF service in this matter. For instance all
fungi that exhibits a rapid change to blue
when bruised or broken should be avoided,
that all Agsrics which possess an acrid taste
when touched with the tongue, are open to
suspicion; and no species of fungus that has
strong unpleasant odor should ever be
used. Fungi that are found growing in
wood should not be eaten unless the species
is well known.

Heavy Manuring for Squash Bugs-There
is nothing like the free use of strong manure
on squash vines, causiEg th5n to grow inXu-
riantiy, to prevent damage from the bugs.
All kinds of injurious bugs and iosccts are
worse on feebls than on stroLg plants, and
as the squash Is rank feeder and grower
when it has the chance, it is easy here to get
an advantage over the pests.
Plant a Straw berry Bed-It ID somewhat
strange that those who have plenty of land,
and excellent means for growing an abun-
dance of the easily grown, healthful and lus-
cious strawberry, should so often be without
the free use of 1t on their tables. One of
the best and easiest systems of culture il to
set the plants in rows foot apart, with the
plants half as much further apart in the
rows. There should be three rows the
length of the lot, then an intermission of one
row fer a walk, then three rows again and SO
on over the piece. At this rate 1872 plants
will set square rod. Any good soil is suit
ed to this fruit and there is NO better time
for planting than the spring. Late In she
fail cover the bed thus planted with an inch
or two Of straw This may remain on until
after next seasons crop is gathered, by going
over the bed and drawing the coat apart over
the crowns in the spring, by which means
also the fruit will be kept free from grit. At
ter removing the straw the beds should be
thoroughly cultivated, to prevent weeds and
to induce new plants from runners 1t is
such an easy task to set even a large bed in
this way that it will pay to start new and
