Taking Care of Themselves.
Boston Letter in Kansas City Times. ]


FEMININE Boston is attending this winter
emergency lectures" Those are, no doubt,
of great value. If a girl slip down and
sprain her ankle, instead of being obliged to
wait till some man picks her up and sends
her home in cab, she quietly takes OF her
shoe and stocking, tucks her skirts on one
side, and performs the necessary surgical
operation on the spot. Ii she feel faint at a
bail instead of looking around for man to
whom she has been introduced and into
whose arms she can without imm0desty fall,
she quietly sits down on the nearest chair,

and applies them hsrse T. Suppose during

or two splints and number OF strips OF

Heet-Produeing Foods.
IAmerican Agriculturist,l

We frequently are asked questions con-
corning -. heating capacity OF various
foods. One to the point is before us: SIS
corn more heating than oats?p The pro-
duction of heat is one principal funtion OF
food in the animal economy. and is fair
measure of the nutritive value of any food
when sufficient digestible nitrogenous con-
pounds are supplied. II has bsen deter
mined that the heat-producing power of fat,
albumin. and starch, are respectively 100,
AZ and As l. On this basis the heat apacity
of corn is highest, and is placed at one hun
tred in the following list: Corn 100; iinssed
cake 90; beans 90; barley So; oats 80; wheat
bran 81; meadow hay SO; wheat straw AZ;
potatoes 30; mangels IL. Linseed cake
would occupy higher rank If it was more
Sigestibie-tWenty per cent is not utilized by
the animal. Oats, as appears from the above,
is only four-ffths as heating as corn.

Charcoal Dust for Poultry Houses.

Mr.. T. J. Mcdaniel, York County, Maine,
writes Us: After an experience of many
wears in the breeding of common and
thoroughbred poultry, 1 have come to the
conclusisn that there is nothing better for
the walls of memories, than the filling of
inside boardings. The boards of the siding
need not be matched, or tongue aud
gTooved, but well seasoned and j0inted, then
what little air gets through brings those
antiseptic qualities so much needed, es-
pecially during warm weather.

To color marble beautiful yellow with

chloride of iron is first dissolved in 80 per
cent. of alcohol and after gently heating the
marble to be colored in an oven or over a
fire. the solution in question is applied by
means of brush, sprinkler, or even bv
pouring. The strength of the solution is, of
course, proportional to the depth of the
color desired, and care is requisite also in re-
gard to the degree of temperature. For the
production of light tints 1t is considered
preferable to spply very diluted solutions

MANAGEMENT of Colts.

1t was formerly claimed by some that
feeding oats to young colts ruined their feet,
but that idea has exploded. There is much
less danger of injury to the feet than the
stomachs from overlooking, aud as a rule
more stomachs suffer for the want of gain
than from overeating. The quantity OF grain
that can be prottably fed to weanling by
farmers in the country where hay is worth
only from $40 to SI2 per ton, and where the
colt must depend solely upon pasturage from
May till November, and perhaps later, can
not be determined by the quantity fed by
those breeders whose colts are entered u
trot at two and three years of age, and will
have plenty OF exercise during the winter a.
well as extra feed during the summer
months. Possibly from two to three quarts
Of oats daily, with half that quantity of
wheat bran aud all the choice earIv-cut hav
it will eat will prove about as much as coun-
Try farmers can pro6tably feed under ordin-
airy circumstances. If the colt gets too much
grain or concentrated food during the first
winter, its stomach will not be properly dis
tended, and when turned to grass in the
spring, it can not eat enough to keep it in
thrifty condition. Hence its growth is
checked at period when it is important that
it should be increased. The feet of colts suf-
fer much more for the lack of care in
keeping them properly shaped by the aid
OF rasp than from excessive feeding of
grain. The feet OF every colt should be ex-
autneu enu Vim neu 81 least once month.
so as TO keep all the toes properly shortened,
thus preventing undue strain TO the tendons,
which in time IS liable to result in serious
IsmeDess. The bottoms Of the feet should
also be Tasped. so as to be kept perfectly
level. 1t requires some knowledge of the
anatomy Of the loot to do this properly, yet
every farmer by examining can see when
one side Of the foot is becoming twisted out
of shape. and by exercising little ingenuity
can, with few properly applied strokes OF
the rasp. prevent defects. which, if not ar
rested, are sure to detract from the value of
the animal when ready for the market. Most
country colts suffer more from the want of
comfortable bed ct night thar from lack Of
feed

March is a trying month for live stock, and
they will need extra care until the pastures
produce sufficient heritage. All amin ais
should be kept from exposure to the long.
cold storms. We have seen many hOcks and
herds that were obliged to be in deep mud
continuously through the spring. The yards
should be properly drained and the floors Of
the sheds and feeding.rooms kept dry.
Horses have heavy work at this sea-
son, and need to be fed and greomed &C
cordingly. Much depends upon the driver;
let him be patient and gentle. Fretting
horses are never doing their best. Mich
COWS thrive when kept clean and fed with
an abundance of wholesome food. Let the
milking be done by careful hands other
wise new cows will be spoiled, and old ones
dried OF. Early lambs, with their dams,
need warm pens. As the days grow warmer,
the ticks get more active. Dip the infested
sheep in one of the preparations sold for the
purpose. For lice on calves, pigs and fowls,
nothing is better than grease or kerosene.
Speak now for June pigs. Give brooding
hens clean nests, with food close at hand.
