There is some difference of opinion
as to protecting manures against rain,
wind and the exhausting effects OF the
san. Doubtless all these have an in
furious influences upon the manure
heap. and it is certainly true that with
out any moisture at all from rain, it
will not be improved. However this
may be, we are very certain that I'M
limited exposure to the weather win
prove highly injurious to the quality of
the manure. A leading farmer told us
some time ago that he regarded the
complete exposure of the manure heap
through the winter and until it can be
used in the spring. to damage it fifty
per cent. In other words, one load of
well-protected manure is worth two of
the exposed. This seems almost in
credible, but it may not be far from the
truth.
There is no question that subject
which so vitality concerns the farmer
as this one of manure, and causes him
to give SO much attention to it, posses
ses great merit. His straw is not to
be sold because it is to be converted
into manure. Stock is fed through the
winter for the express purpose of ac-
cumulating manure. Articles that
scarcely pay to send to the city are
nevertheless hauled there in order that
manure may be brought back as ale
turn load; and yet the whole of the
manure gathered is frequently all the
season exposed to the sun, wind and
rain until it is greatly diminished in
value-one-half according to the opin-
ion of our agricultural informant The
trouble is that few really believe that
exposed manure undergoes this serious
loss. Hence, in arranging farm build
ings- and we know OF many that are
SO arranged-it will pay as well to
look as much to the preservation of
the manure as Of the hay or grass:
and those whose bulldogs have nc
provision for this purpose, cannot
spend twenty-five TO fifty dollars better
than in putting up shed under which
the manure may be protected against
those adverse influences. Geymantoacn

How TO MIX a IxickS

A Michigan farmer says: About
two years ago purchased what was
represented to be first-class COW.
But on getting her home and making
an effort to milk her / ascertained to
my sorrow-that is, when lay on my
back--that she was first-class kicker.
In order to save myself from loss
had to devise some way of overcoming
this unpleasant habit, and / succeeded
SO well that / wish for others benefit
to publish my experience. The COW is
first tied fast by the head. in the
stable Now take strap that when
buckled together will form circle of
about eight inches, step by the side of
the COW, bend up her right fore foot
till it touches the body, and slip on the
strap over the knee to hold it in this
position. The COW is now so fixed
that she is helpless and it is imDossi-
BILE for her to kick. But to relieve
her, so that she may stand at ease
while being MIXED, / now take a
small rope Of sufficient length. and
with slip-knot bring it around both
hind legs above the gambrels. draw
the rope tight and make it fast to
something in the rear; then let down
the fore foot by taking off the strap.
The COW may struggle a little at first
but will soon give up, and you can
now milk in safety. After q little
practice the strap and rope can be adj
justed in minute or less.

Feeding Horse.

Bearing in mind that the stomach of
horse is small in proportion to the
size of his frame. he requires feeding
often, and, though three times day is
sufficient, four times is better. Unlike
human beings, horses should drink
before they eat, because, owing to the
conformation Of the horse, water does
not remain In the stomach, but passes
through it into large intestine called
the cRcum. If horse be fed first
the water passing through the stomach
would be likely TO carry with it parti-
cles of food, and thus bring about
collie. Whatever groom may say. let
a horse drink just as much as he likes.
If he be watered four times day, he
will never take very much, or too much
to be good for him. A horse, it must
be remembered, is fed on dry food, and
this, with the strong work done by a
hunter, always produces feverishness,
which sufficiency of water tends to
allay. London Field.
