An old farmer says that there is no
feed So good to keep animals in flesh
during winter as scaided oats. For
mares, cows and sheep that are to raise
young, it is superior to almost any other
iced, as it not only puts the animal in
good condition to furnish milk abund-
antly, but the young at birth are strong
and active. Wheat bran is also an ex-
ceIlent feed for breeding animals, given
in the form of mess.
A correspondent of an exchange tells
OF his success in growing sweet peas
from fall-planted seeds. About five
years since, desiring the blossoms earlier
than he could obtain them from spring
planting, he tried planting seeds in the
taN and succeeded so well that he has
continued each year to grow all he has
N the fall, and not to plant any in the
spring He always puts the peas in
warm water six or eight hours before
as more of them come up and
start few days earlier than if planted
dry. If sown now would have to be put
INTO soil in box or pot indoors.
Professor Lanzenby, of the Ohio Ex-
perimental Station, says among the
worst seeds in wheat are rag weed, corn
Rag weed Is eXterminated by thorough
ing the seed, and red root by cultivating
other crops. Red root, like chess will
grow and ripen seed when only few
inches high in the dense shade of the
wheat, unobserved. When the wheat
Is killed by winter it will spring up, grow
rapidly, and bear seed abundantly. He
states that a plant in a clover field on
the University farm produced Z 900 seeds.
This remedy was given to lady by
doctor in reply to what she should do
Tor the hard lunches and knots,n as
she called them, inside her hands. He
told her to get small bottle of olive oil
(one-half bottle would do to try), and
putin as much camphor gum as it would
dissolve pour some in the hands, rub
them together, and heat in by the fire.
she continued in this, usually evenings,
rubbing and heating, and in a short
Ilme her hands were as soft as need be,
not bunch" remaining, Another
tsauy tried the same for a large, hard
punch growing on the back OF her
mana, resembling what's called a "weep-
ing slneT" TWAS getting very trouble
some indeed, but after the above treat
ment, 1t disappeared entirely, aud has
never returned. She tried no other
remedy consequently has good reason
Ior believing that this was the cure.
A Chicago daily, in referring to the
recent poisoning OF a family from eating
chlcken pot-pie, says: The same toxic
symptoms produced occasionally by
canned meats ,headcheese, and similarly
prepared viands, are also caused by
chlcKeh or meat pies made without holes
OF openings In the crust, aud probable
explanation OF the cause of such poison
ing Is to be foundin the fact that animal
matter, it state of decay or putrefac-
non produces class of bodies that are
Mighty poisonous; and there is good
ground for believing the exclusion OF
ar tavors the production of such bodies.
Cooks should not neglect the proper per-
loration of the crusts of chicken pot
pies and meat pastries"
An English livestock paper, in an
article relating to the selection of horse
Tor the work he is expected to perform
after stating the results of many observa.
tons on horses, remarks that it is the
arch of bridge which, from its struc.
ture, can bear weight placed upon it
whereas, an inverted arch would fall to
pieces, or would withstand far less
pressure. 1t has been observed that
low-backed, or rather hollow-backed
horses, working in harness, kept theil
condition, while those with high back:
lost flesh. Persons of not very inquir-
ing or observant dispositions would
probably attribute this to the fact that
me torm"r were of more hardy constitu'
aon than he latter, but this would be q
false conclusion. 1t is owing entirely tc
the curvailr ire of the back, for a horse
