An average-sized horse is said to
have stomach capable of holding
about three gallons. The stomach of
an ordinary-sized dog holds about half
gallon.
To "break" horses thoroughly begin
in colthood. Gentle usage and famil-

deal of hard work, some risk, and some
profanity afterward.
The best stock.water is that of liv-
ing springs, the next, that of running
streams. Fully equal to these, save
in the exception of hardness, is the
water of wells, free from surface
drainage. The worst water is that of
slack streams, and especially stagnant
ponds.

son is causing much needless alarm.
The name locust is the only frightful
thing about the insect. Really it is a
ciada, and in its present state of exist
ence does not eat anything. All its
eating is done in the pupa stage,
which is prolonged so many years that
what it destroys is scarcely noticed.
Celery is vegetable that drinks
constantly. If thirst is not quenched
the stalks grow tough and hollow
stemmed. Keep the plants growing
from the time they appear above
ground in the seed bed. Transplant
them to rich soil-give them water as
often as they need it, and give it in
abundance, and you will have tender
plump celery.
An Indiana farmer says he has h.I
uniform success since he has adopted
the plan of sowing clover in wheat
after the wheat has made growth Of
not less than six inches, and from this
time until it is ten inches high. He
harrows the wheat with light har-
row, the teeth slanting back; then
sows the clover, following with half a
bushel of plaster per acre.
The striped squash bug will put in
an appearance AS soon as the vines
break ground, and unless looked after
will work the destruction of every
vine, Cover the ground about the
hills with good coat of air-slacked
lime, just as the plants are coming to
the surface, thus giving the bugs nc
place to burrow in; they will rarely
touch vine thus protected.
Fowls should be given the fullest
possible range in summer to insure

How to Grease a Wheel.

Few people are aware they do wag-
ons and carriages more injury by
greasing too rlentifully than in any
other way. A well-made wheel will
endure constant wear from ten to
twenty-five years If care be taken to
use the right kind and proper amount
of grease; but. if this matter is not at
tended to, it will be used up in five or
six years. Lard should never be used
on wagon, for it will penetrate the
hub, and work its way out round the
lemons of the spokes and spoil the
wheel. Tallow is the best lubricator
for wooden aXle-trees, and castor oil
for iron hubs; but many of the patent
axle-greases are also excellent, and
have the merit Of being cheaper and
more convenient to handle. Just
enough grease should be applied to the
spindle of wagon to give it a slight
coating. This is better than more,
for the surplus put on will work out
at the ends, and be forced by the
shoulder bands and nut-washer into
the hub round the outside of the
boxes. To oil an iron axle-tree, first
wipe the spindle clean with cloth
wet with spirits of turpentine, and
then apply few drops of castor oil
near the shoulder and end. One tea
spoonful is sufficient for the whole.

Hints Oh Washing Butter.

If butter is to be washed at all after
sailing and working it should he
washed with pickle or brine, and not
with ice water or fresh water. Fresh
water will at once whiten the butter
with which it comes in contact. take
the salt out and cause it to become
strong in taste almost Immediately.
For this purpose the pickle should
be made several days before needed
for USE 1t must be of good strength,
that is, the water must be thoroughly
saturated with the salt, the result of
stirring and dissolving. Washing in
cold brine does not soften the butter
Salt maintains the water at a low tenn
perature.
Ice water in contact with butter has
an injurious effect, Even slight drop
pings of ice water upon a parcel OF
butter for twenty-four hours will
whiten it, and spoil it by rendenlng it
strong and understandable as choice
product. Take tub of butter and
place upon the top of the butter ;
cloth saturated with fresh water, and
in less than day the upper layer will
be whitened, the salt removed and the
first stages OF rancidity induced.
Many otherwise choice parcels o.
butter have been spoiled by the use O
fresh water, and even by the use O.
water in which salt has been stirred
about for short time. Unless tn,
pickle is made very strong, a work O.
time, it is but little better than fresl
water for this purpose. The hes
creamery butter is sailed at the rate o
one ounce to the pound of butter, ant
if washed at all, pickle only is used. =
