Cranes are said to be Il cure for
dyspepsia. Certainly very pleas
ant remedy.
In preparing bees for winter
every apairist should be sure that
each colony has at least thirty
pounds Of good capped honey. 1t
is also well to cover warmly above
the bees with cal pctin.. old blank
cts, or sacks of dry SawIluSt or fine
clatf. AS soon as cold comes, CT
just before, the bees ought to he
carried into cellar, if one is 1t
hand.
| Most farmers have a feeling that
the corn which is fed to fowls is
thrown away, and that their peck
ctbooks have been depleted so
much. he should rather look upon
the transaction as ust SO much
grain exchanged for eggs or pOul-
try, the profits of which are coming
to him to better fill that pocket
book.
Liberal feedin. means liberal
profits; fowls scantiIy fed pay scan-
~ profit; neglect means loss Of
what you do give them. AS q rule,
feed well or kill the flock. This
should be the rule, for the results
above named are as sure to follow
as day is sure to follow sunrise.
Sorghum will grow wherever corn
will, but in order for it to possess
its greatest "a ue as crop, it is
necessary to grow it in localities
where the seasons are long enough |
for manufacturing it. 1t cannot be
raised, profitably, very far north
on that account.
DR.. Wiley, chemist Of the Agri-
cultural Department, announces
autllOrit;Itively that there is no per,
ceptible difference in granulate'l
sugar, when purified, made from
cane, beets and sorghum.
The time is near at hand when
I he farmer will remove his stock
from their pastures and, combining
them in yards and stables, feed
them the hay, stalks, straw. vcge-
tables and grain grown upon the
farm throu gil the sumner.
The first step toward economy
iii feeding is to place stock in such
comfortable quarters that tie
smallest proportion of their food
shall be consumed in sustaining
animal heat, consistent with per-
feet health. No doubt stock may
be kept too warm for health, especi
ally if thorough ventilation is ne
elected Stock had better be ex-
posed to cold than deprived of Oxy-
gen. The aim of the stOckman or
farmer should he to provide the
varmest quarters for his stock con- ,
sisent with the fullest supply Of
oxygen.
To this end not only should WARM
differentiated stables be provided
put an abundance of pnre water so
,onviently located that hut little
heat shall he wasted by exposure !

rs lave seen many instances
where stock were obliged to travel
rom an eighth. to a quarter OF
nile, exposed to sweeping winds e

much OF the fat forming ingredi-. l.
