FARM AND STOCK NOTES.

For early cabbages the concentrated
forms of manure are especially valuable.
Care must be taken to purchase good
seed. That grown from the stumps Of
roots which never headed will produce
fewer good heads under the same cOndi-
tiOns than seed taken from cabbages where
the root and mead are both planted.
Butter should always be churned sew
eral degrees colder in summer than in
winter. The reason is that the cGseinOus
matter of milk more readily attaches it.
self to the butter globuies in summer than
IN winter, and that this adhesion can best
be prevented by cooler temperature Of
the cream when churning is fact.
Excessive acidity in cream before
churning causing partial separation Of
the butter fats, and the acid also develops
glycerihe from one Of the oils composing
these fats. SOuring eream does not add
to the quality OF butter; it simply creates
a stronger flavor, in contrast TO the deli
cate flavor of unsecured cream, which Is
the true favor Of aroma.
Mari is carbonate Of lime. as the com
mon lime is. Heat drives out the carbonic
acid and leaves the lime pure calcium OK
ide or quicklime, and this effect is pro-
duced equally with mari or limestone
Mari can be burned in kilns or pits built
up with logs and wood in the same way
that limestone is burned. The burning is
all that is required 30 produce the lime.
Mari beng lesssOiid, requires less burning
than stone. Two or three days burning is
sufficient to make the lime.

The stenclling should be done on the

Blue Hydrangeas.

That Old-fashioniOned flower, Hydrangea
HOrtensia, is still "A taYOrite with many.
Its enormous flower clusters are ordina-
rily of a deep pink color. Occasionally,
the plants, without any known cause,
produce light blue flowers. Flowers
of this color are more snowy than the Or
binary pink ones and many have claimed
to be able 10 produce blue flowers at will,
by giving the plants particular mixture
OF soil, especi9 lily those containing large
proportion of peat or muck. Those vino
have tried growing the plants in such
soils, have rarely been rewarded by blue
flowers. An English gardener now claims
to De able TO change the flowers to blue,
by the following treatment: He mixes a
good p0tting soil of loan, leai-mOuld,
sand, and little bOne-dust, and to each
bushel of such soil, adds four ounces Of
suiphate Of iron (copperas,) in coarse
powder. The plants, after blooming, have
their stems cut back to two or three eyes.
When they commence to grow, they are
ported in the above described soil, short
ening back the large roots. The plants
are kept dormant during winter, and
when they begin to grow freely the follow
ing spring, are watered, at each alternate
watering, with solution Of alum, made
by adding a teaspOOnful of powdered alum
to a quart of water. After using the alum
water for two weeks its strength is slightly
increased. Weak liquid manure is given,
and the plants frequently syringed While
grOwing.-Ant. AgTicWitafGt.

Probably no one item, in the long list of
abuses TO which the horse is subject
causes more pain to the animal and
ANNOYANCE and loss TO the owner, than
CALLED and sweenied shoulders, those of
horses that work to the pillow or draw
heavy wagons.
1t is no uncommon thing TO see the intelli-
gent and humane farmers working day
by day with great patches OF skin rubbed
from their shoulders by an ill-fitted col
lar, the owner yainly try to push his busy
spring work and at the same time heal
the refractory sores on the shoulders of
his stock.
This is one of the cases where very en-
phatically the "ounce of prevention is
better than the pound of cure" and, as
the busy season is very rapidly approach
ing, farmers would do well to heed few
hints from one who never has horses with
CALLED OF sweenied shoulders. In the first
place, then, look to your collars and see
that they are of the proper size and right
kind of material even though you have TO
spend a few dollars for new ones to re-
place some which, though not worn out,
humanity as well as economy demand
that you throw away.
good collar should he stuffed with
curled hair, and hned with ticking, and
when new, should be Just lar &c enough
to meet and buckle in the first bOles, and
when the horse has his head elevated TO
about the position in which you want him
carry it while at work, there should be
about space enough between the collar
and neck at the bottom to thrust in the
fingers of one hand; this to prevent
choking when pulling hard; more space
than this will allow the collar to slip up
and down, and cause gals and sweeny.
In purchasing new collar for par
ticular horse, see that it fits as above di-
rected. Do not take the say-sO of the har-
ness maker or your teamster, because a
collar always gets larger as it is used and
will soon become too large to be used with
SAFETY.
The names should fit tightly in their
place on The collar with the hooks work
ing from two to three inches above the
''point' of the shoulder according to the
size Of the horse and the shape Of the up
per part OF the neck.
And now. having thus fitted collar and
names, see that they are kept so adjust
ed, for as the warm weather comes on the
horse will lose flesh and the collar need
frequently TO be taken up accordingly.
Should the collar become too large after
having been made as small as possible, it
may be easily adjusted by placing pad,
made Of Old clOih, carpe sheep-skin, or
sack, and put it under the entire collar so
that the edges may be doubled up aud the
names be placed upon them to keep them
in place.-RMat World.

1. Instead of trimming up'' trees, &C
cOrding to the Old fashion, to make them
long-Iegged and long-armed, trim them
down, 50 as to make them even, snug ana
symmetrical.
2. Instead of manuring heavily in a
small circle at the foot OF the tree, spread
the manure, if needed at all, broadcast
over the whole surface, especially where
the ends OF the roots can get it.
3. Instead of spading small circle
about the stem, cultivate the whole sur
face broadcast.
4. Prefer well pulverized. clean sur
face, in an orchard with a moderate rich
soil, TO heavy panuring and a surface
covered with a hard crust and weeds and
grass.
). Remember that it is better to set out
ten trees with all the necessary care to
make them live and flourish, than to set
out 100 trees and have them all die from
earelessness.
6. Remember that tobacco is poison,
and will kill insects rapidly, if properly
applied to them, and is one of the best
drugs for freeing fruit trees rapidly Of

way than to make men repulsive and dis
