GIeanings.

One of the most wasteful prac.
tees in sheep husbandry is the too
common one of feeding on the
ground. Some farmers feed their
sheep on the ground in the worst
weather. They throw the hay on
the soaking wet ground to be
trampled down in the mud. And
the same way Of feeding grain is
practiced. 1t is thrown on the
ground, and in wet days much oft
is lost. The expense Of making
feed troughs and racks is so small
that the waste Of one seasons feed
ing on the ground to a fair-sized
flock would more than pay for all
necessary appurtenances Of eco
nomical feeding. What is more,a as
every fockmaster knows, sheep are
very particular about their feed,
and if it is the least bit damaged
will not touch it. And this system
offeeding often forces the flock to
go without n m eal rather than
touch the feed when wet and
muddy.
Ice upon the farm, and especially
in the dairy, is more and more be.
coming necessity An ice.house
can be built that will supply a IA
mily with one of the greatest com.
forts and cOnveniences of tue hot
months at a triiiing expense. 1t is
wise economy to build one that is
substantial, and will last for a long
time. 1t has been carefully esti-
mated that, under ordinary circum-
stances of harvesting the ice, and
with house TO hold from twenty
to thirty-dye tons, the ice can be
furnished for fifty cents ton. At
such a low rate, surely many farm.
ers cannot afford any longer to
deny themselves of ice during the
hot months of summer.
Following land for a short time,
for the purpose Of destroying
weed and weed seeds, is doubtless
an excellent practice under some
circumstances, but the practice is
too wasteful Of nitrogen to be fol.
lowed for any other purpose. Ma
ture teaches us that the surface of
the eacth should be kept constant.

ton. The practice of sowing win.
ter rye in the fall, after the sum.
mer crops are removed, is there.
fore, on this ground, an economical
one, even if it be ploughed in the
spring, though it is better to let it
get large enough to feed to cattle
either green or dry.

Notes on Poultry.

The question of the profitable.
ness of poultry-raising is a constant
theme of discussion among farmers
and others. 1t has been sufficient
ly demonstrated that poultry'rais-
ing does pay when it is carried on
under the same relative conditions
that are considered necessary to en-
sure success in other pursuits.
Skill, care, sightJudicious man.
agement, these are needed no less
in the raising of poultry than in the
prosecution Of any other branch Of
business.
The winter is a good time to con-
slider this matter and arrange plans
for the coming season. If fowls be
kept for eggs it is essential to sue
cess that every winter the stock be
replaced with pullets Matched early
in the spring. By no other means
can eggs at this season be relied
upon, and the pouItry-keeper must
remember that it is the winter
which determines whether he will
gain or lose by his stock.
With those who raise chickens
for the early markets the time will
soon be at hand for attending to
sitting hens. 1t has generally been
found that the best layers are the
worst sitters. There should be a
separate apartment for brooding
hens where they may not be an
noyed by other members of the
flock, and where every provision
should be made for their feeding
and comfort and security. There
should be a properly arranged mo
thOd for protecting the young
chicks as soon as they are Matched,
and until the whole brood is strong
enough to 90 into the coop with the
hen.
Sometimes a hen will desert her
eggs, a circumstance which may
occasionally be traced to an uncom-
Portable condition of the skin,
caused by vermin or want of clean.
illness; and this affords a strong
reason for keeping the hen.house
clean and giving the flock the,
means of purifying their feathers.
With a proper provision of food
at hand, warmth, quiet, and dry
ness, a good Matching hen will give
little trouble. 1t is good plan to-
"seV two or more hens at the same
time, so that in event Of only some
halfdozen chickens from each nest,
two broods can be taken charge of
by one hen.

Some one who has evidently had
experience in packing batter re.
commedds the following plan for
putting down butter so that part
may be easily secured without dis.
turbing the rest: "The butter is
first made with all possible care,
and after being worked is rolled
into small CYLINDRICAL shapes four
or five inches long and not more
than a couple of inches in diane
ter. These rolls are then wrapped
in muslin cloths and the ends
drawn over. A large crock is next
nearly filled with strong brine, and
these rolls Of batter are immersed
in this ISOLATION. A weight is put
into the crock to keep them from
floating"

FARM AND FIREsIDE.
CoIIcin Horses.

Horses are liable to an attack OF
collie at all seasons Of the year, but
among farm horses this complaint
is most frequent during the Fail
and Winter, also when first turn
ed on grass in the Spring. 1t Is
brought on by a variety OF causes,
one of which is drinking cold water
when the horse is heated. The Eng
land farmer who reaches home
late at night in the Winter sea
son with his horse heated by exer-
ton, and allows the animal to
drink from a trough in the yard
with the water ice-cold, then puts
it into a cold barn, will be fortunate
if he does not have case OF colo
to deal with in a short time. 1t is
sometimes occasioned by changing
from old to new oats in the Fall OF
= the years. 1t is not infreQuently
occasioned by eating frost-bitten
clover. The first symptoms Of an
attack of collie is manifestation
of distress. the animals chan &c
their position frequently, Of lying
down and almost Immediately get
ting up again. In a few minutes
So these symptoms are likely to dlsap-
pear and the horse is apparently

sufferer frequently looks around 10
its TANKS, paws with his fore feet
and strikes at his belly with the
bind ones. In a short time cold
sweat breaks out all over the body.
Animals suffering from collie gen
orally try to void urine, and aper-
son witnessing a case for the first
9 time would be ed to suppose that
it was case of water stoppase.
An excellent remedy, and one most
likely to be available in the country.
is mix a heaping teaspcOnful oil
saleratus with a pint of milk, stir
it well and pour it down the suf-
~, ferer's throat from bottle or horn.
). "A half teaspoonful Of cayenne pep
per added to the saleratus and
!. g milk well render is more liable to
prove effective. Probably the
best remedy that farmer can en-
ploy is one pint of raw linseed oil,
to which is added one ounce Of
sulphuric ether and two ounces Of
tincture ofopium. Care should be
' 81 used TO give oil which has not
been boiled. AS soon as the medi-
cine has been administered, wheth-
yer the saleratus and milk or the
" oil, give an injection Of about two
quarts Of blood warm water to
which little CASTLE soap has been
s added if at hand, but if not give
the water clear. If the pain is not
81. relieved within an hour of giving
the first dose of medicine repeat
the dose. 1t is safer to take the
chill from the water for few days
- after the attack.

what an cid Farmer says.

This is the advice of an old man
who has TILED the soil for forty
years
am an old man, upwards OF
three score years, during two scores
of which have been tiller Of the
soil. cannot say that l am now,
but have been rich, and have all
Ineed; do not owe a dollar; have
given my children a good educa-
tion,and when | am called away will
leave them enough TO keep the wolf
from the door. My experience has
taught me that:
81 1. One acre of land, we'll prepared
and well cultivated, produced more
than two which received only the
same amount of labor used on one.
o. 2. One COW, horse, mule, sheep or
hog, well fed, is more profitable
than two kept on the same amount
necessary to keep one well.
3. One acre Of clover or grass is
worth more than two of cotton
where no grass or clover is raised.
4. No farmer who buys oats,cOr
or wheat, fodder and hay, as a rule,
49,
for ten years, can keep the sheriff
away from the door in the end.
o. The farmer who never reads
the papers, snaers at book farming
and improvements, always has a
leaky roof, poor stock, broken-down
fences, and complains Of "bad sea
sons
6. The farmer who is above his
business, and entrusts it to another
TO manage, soon has no business to
attend 10.
&. The farmer whose babitu2l
beverage is cold water is healthier,
yealihier and wiser than he who
does not refuse 10 drink.

A very common mistake or fault

A very common mistake or fault
is committed by farmers in permit.
ting all kinds Of stock to run to.
gether in one yard or enclosure.
Horses, colts-which are risky
creatures-bulls, cows, sheep, pigs,
and fowls all run in one yard or
field. The horses worry the colts !;
the colts chase the cows and sheep,
the COWS shook the colts; the bulls
gore the horses; the pigs worry the
cows and sheep, and often destroy
the newborn calves and lambs; the
fowls and ducks are trampled on,
and there is q sad time all around.
