G. e. Burt. butter and cheese mer-
chant, in the New York Tribune says:
The butter business is much improved,
with good prospects OF still further in
crease. Prices compare favorably with
those Of previous years. Oleomarga-
rine is seldom called fora t the houses
where it is sold. About one tubs now
soldtoa dozen last Fall. Retailers are
afraid to handle it since the investiga-
tions we're made which implicated some
of them.
Butter is a very difficult article to
keep unless a very low, uniform tenn
perature can be secured. Where but
ter is needed for long keeping, the best
way is to make in small and somewhat
oblong rolls; wrap closely in we'll brine
washed muslin cloths, and immense
them in brine made from boiled water.
These should be kept beneath the sur
face SO that the air will not get to them.
A small quantity can thus be had at any
time.
Carelessness about the feet of horses
produces much trouble. Loose nails or
fragments of them are left in the hoof
and work their way into the interior, and
produce Inflammation which spreads up
to the coronet or elsewhere and forms
a fistula. This is very difficult to cure
because the horse'sfoot is encased in o
tight box from which the pus and diseas-
ed matter cannot escape. Care to pre-
want ~ should 1o ,oneEoo{ FNI,o l>o,1
treatment is to open the diseased places
and syringe out the matter daily with
warm water and a few drops of carbolic
acid, and keep a plug of tow in the OPEN
ing to prevent healing until this is effect
ed at the bottom.
D. Arthur Piper of Northwood Mar.
rows writes: Cattle need garget once
or twice every year. 1 have recently
found a new way to give it to them, in
which they will hardly aver taste it.
Take a medium sized potato and cut
quite a large piece out of it and then
take a piece of garget root about an
inch anu a half long and put it in the
hole. and then put in the piece of po-
tato after emitting a little off from it.
In this way the cattle will eat the potato
without noticing the garget. This is a
very simple operation but it may be of a
little value to anyone just beginning to
farm.
Worms in horses, and the same is
true of cattle. not only ~irritate the in
testines but rob the animals of a por-
ton of the nutriment of the food. The
poor beasts show by their rough and
woe-begone appearance how much they
suffer. These pests increase in animals
that are not robust and that have in
digestion and various other disorders,
for they feed upon the products of such
diseases. The first thing, then, is to
get the digestive organs into a health
full condition and so nourish them we'll,
when the absence Of impure matter in
the intestines at once starts the para
sites and they disappear. A dose of a
pint Of raw linseed with one ounce of
turpentine given two OF three times acts
as a safe purgative and a tonic, and
consequently as a vermifuge.-Ippos.

The best way to treat this trouble

An orange sliced and put into a large
cup with q little sugar sprinkled over it,
and boiling water poured upon it, and
then drank as hot as possible, is both
pleasant and beneficial. The feet should
be put into hot water, with or without

En- ample OF Ohio Farming.

An Ohio correspondent of the West
ern Rural, who says he owes his success
largely to practical hints read from
time to time in agricultural literature"
probably manages to make as much
from his 100 acres rs some farmers of
the west realize who skins over three
times as large q surface to the neglect
of the minor but hardly less important
details:
II have fenced in four equal tracts
nearly as possible. For convenience,
at the corne where they all join, 1 have
a good we'll, arranged to furnish stock
water for each field. 1 manage to keep
fifty acres in cultivation, fifty in clover,
each year, as follows: Twenty-Five
acres in corn, twenty-five in wheat.
When the corn is cut off Iseed this field
to wheat, her back to clover in two
years; and 1 find this is as long Us clo-
yer should stand to be profitable.
ST raise stock enough to eat up all the
surplus corn, hay, etc. I stack the
straw, and feed around the stack. To-
ward spring I throw it down, so the
stock can tramp il. In this condition it
IotS much aStef, anu is ready to haul
out sooner. This manure I spread on
the poorest places, when I have leisure
ana it is good hauling. By doing this,
I keep nearly everything on the farm,
except the surplus wheat, which I mar
ket as soon as threshed, while it is in the
sacks. This saves a large per cent on
shrinkage, besides extra handling, and
you have the use of your money"
By this system he keeps the soil of
which he is steward in a high state Of
cultivation without use of commercial
fertilizer; it takes no longer to till such
land than that depleted by improvidence;
he has the satisfaction of seeing crops
always in a thriving condition, and the
substantial reward of a profitable har-
vest.

How Severe Training Prolo longs the Life
Of ths Thoroughbred.

-~ II 41l0
OF the Thoroughbred.
From the Live Stock Journal
While the aptitude for living to a
great age is undoubtedly inherited, still
this tendency to long living many times
shows up in the character of a squirt,
as q single son or daughter from q given
pair may attain to a great age, all other
sclons from the same stock being only
moderately long livers. AS to longeyi-
ty, as we ordinarily meet with it, there
are physical signs that, fully inspect
ed and estimated at their worth, will
always be found to tally with the
results. The thoroughbred has a
firm structure throughout, clearly the
result of transmission through an
agency rendered firm of tissue by
continuous and somewhat severe train
ing, ignoring accumulation of fat.
The latter substance in excess. OF even
approaching this, places the horse or
the person with this peculiarly as
though with q sword suspended over
him by a very weak thread. Life is
pioloHSSo W SuSlI iepSdtcu elOIbS us
give vigor, short of sapping the vitality,
and Il Of the agencies through which
this is done is curtailment of tendency
to fairness. We have in trees corrobo-
rative evidence that firm texture leads
to long life. The hardwood trees are
considered by naturalists to be long
lived in proportion rs they grow thick
and stout ratherthan tall. Slim plants
are, as a rule. delicate and short-l;ved.
We can safely apply this similitude to
the horse, and calculate thut the
spindling, leggy horse will not prove
hardy or long-livcd. The firm texture
of the flesh and bones of the mule may
be taken as evidence that this concen-
tration OF structure may be considered
to be associated. as a rule, with ten
dency to long life. and it is worth con
sidcring how far we can safely depart
from the peculiarity referred to.

Seeding to Clover.
From the Prairie Farmer.

From the Prairie Farmer. s
From February l to March, SOW 8
lbs. OF the mammoth variety per acre.
Put in thus early, the seed readily finds
its way into the ground, and has the
whole season for growth. When the
wheat is harvested, the clover will oc.
cupy the ground, to the exclusion of
weeds, producing a heavy growth.
Pillow this under in autumn, and again
plant to corn in the spring, thus rota-
ting with wheat and corn, blowing the
ground once IN two Years, each time
turning down o crop Of clover. This
not only Keeps up the fertility of the
land, but is continually improving it.,
as my W experience amply proves. I
have rotated wheat and corn for the last
seven years, but have followed the
clovering process during four years
only, and I can sect has made apercepti-
BILE difference in the amount of both
wheat and corn, the latter showing the
effects to the very row between clover
sod and oat stubble. Never in the
same years have I had a failure of the
wheat crop, though some crops have
been light, from the various causes af-
fecting the growth Of wheat. Often
when my crops was light, that sown on
open ground, in the usual way, was
an entire failure. l do not claim that
we will thus get as large a yield as may
sometimes be had by other methods,
but the crop is surer, and by computing
the different results for series of years,
we find we get the most grain in the
way l have described. I have known
wheat sown among corn TO yield as high
as thirty-seven bushels per acre, aud in
other seasons only nine bushels.

dis second wife died, and his FIRST wife had
