Farmers must secure permanent pas

The one word that embodies the en-.
tire fultillment of the law in the handl-
ing of COW is-comfort. Whatever
conduces to the comfort, health and
contentment of the cow promotes an
increased flow of milk, and the reverse
is just as true.-En.
The best time TO water a horse is an
hour before or an hour and half after

The English walnut is the most prof.
table of all nut-bearing trees. When in
full bearing they will yield about 300

The elevation of the head of the bed
by placing under each leg a block of
wood the thickness of two bricks, is an
effective remedy for cramps. Patients
who have suffered at night, crying aloud

By mixing one part sulphur to three

general health and drive away the ticks.
Many farmers feed sulphur both sum-

Step out on the street any day, and
you will see men who start their teams
by striking them with whip, often
severely. This always frightens horse, |
and will make them unsafe to handle. |
as they will be expecting the whip |
when any one is near the wagon. !
A horse should always be told to 90 in
starting, never be struck: with whip
the first thing.
In looking over the seed box for
spring planting, melon and cucumber
seeds need not be rejected on account of
their age. In fact, the older they are
the better fruit they will produce 1t is
perhaps true that these old seeds will
not make as strong plants. hence they

as fresh seeds on highly matured land
sometimes do.-Er.
As general principle, we may safely
