:
i. 8. Barden, well-known farmer OF
the town of Candor, Broome county, N.
r., entered pig-sty on his farm few
DAYS ago to make some needed repairs.
Il had not been used for some time. AT
the first stroke Of his hammer two large
rats ran out of hole In the floor aud
attacked Mr.. Barden. He kicked at one
of the rodents, and 1t set up loud
squealing. In response to the cry rats
swarmed into the sly from holes and
crevices on every side. They sprang
upon him and endeavored to reach his
face. Barden called his dog, a large st.
Bernard, which came promptly up to
the spot and leapeC in among the little
animals. The rats turned their atten-
ton to the dog and gave Barden an OPP
porturity to leave the sty. Aiming
himself with long club he returned to
assist the dog, which had killed num-
Der of rats. The survivors, however,
fought us furiously as ever. For ten
minutes the battle ragged, and then, only
half dozen rats being left, they re-
treated. The floor Of the sty was COW
cred with dead rata. The dog was red
with blood from the savage bites of the
rats, which were of unusual size, some
of them measuring nearly foot in
length. They were of deep gray color,
and are believed to be a colony of the
rats which have been annoying the
farmers of Bradford and Susquehanna
counties, Pa, for some months. None
like them have ever been seen any
where else in the neighborhood.

a few minutes, then set it one side until
the scum is subsidized, clear it off, and
boil the sugar until very thick, then
strew in the nut, stir and mix 1t well,

To qxT MILK..A writer who says
his COW gives all the milk that is wanted
in family of eight persons, and from
which was made two hundred and sixty
pounds Of butter year, gives the fol-
lowing as his statement. He says, OF
rich milk, give your cows three times
day slightly warm, slightly sailed, in
which bran has been stirred at the rate
of one quart to two gallons Of water.
You will find, if not tried this daily
practice, that your cow will gain
twenty-five per cent. Immediately un-
der the effects Of it, and she will become
so attached to the diet as to refuse to
drink clear water unless very thirsty,
but this mess she will drink almost any
time, and ask for more. The amount
of this drink is an ordinary WAFER pail
full each time, morning, noon and
night. Your animal will then do her
best i'm the way Of milk. Four hun
cred pounds of butter year are OBJ
tanned from good stock, and instances
are mentioned where the yield was even
at higher figure.

An OLD FARMERS EXPERIENCE WITH
CATrLE.-The farmer wants to know,
not so much what Is absolutely the best
feed, but what Is most economical--some-
thing good aud substantial. AID not too
expensive, which he can raise on the
farm. Corn fodder when properly cured
and stored makes good feed, but II 1t Is
left In the field, or long exposed to the
weather, IL is scarcely worth the labor
of cutting and shocking, particularly
If the weather has been wet. Wheat
straw IL not very nutritious food for cat
tie, but 40 most farmers raise wheat, 1t
lie a good plan to have plenty Of straw
well stacked, to which the cattle, dur
Ing winter, may have free access. and
let them eat what they will. About the
best and cheapest food for cattle Is good
timothy hay, with occasional feeds Of
corn. Glover hay may be fed to cattle
with good advantage. Turnips anc
pumpkins, where they can be success
fully raised, make good feed for fall
and early winter. Potatoes, either raw
or cooked, make good feed, and the
small ones cannot be used to better adj
vantage than by feeding them to cattle.
Potato and apple Feelings mixed with
bran or meal, make good food, particu-
larly for mich cows. Cattle, as well
AS other farm animals, appreciate good
treatment, milch cows IN particular do
so, and should always be treated kind
ly, and even petted. They will very
soon learn to recognize those who are
kind to them, will take from the hand
almost everything In the way Of food,
and seem to relish whatever is offered,
simply because it is given by known
friend. The writer has often seen pet
cows eat bread, pies, lettuce, tomatoes,
and other things from the table, aud
even drink sour milk, when offered by
a recognized friend. Cows should al
ways be MIXED by some one who is nat
urally kind anG gentle, and so far as
may be, by the same person never by
any one who is excitable, peevish, or
impatient.-Od Farmer IN American Ag-
ricuarist for March.
