How 20 Use a Grindsfone

A grindstone is one OF the worst used
implements on the farm, or IN the work
shop. Few take the trouble to think
about their work, and consequently, the
great majority OF the people fal te get the
most ana best use from their tools. The
few VINO do think, will agree with us
when we say, that grindstone is both
badly used and badly chosen. 1t is too
small; too thick; it is not evenly and tru-
ly set and conferred; it is not properly
speeded, and Is turned either too fast, and
mode TO throw the water around, or too
slow, and so fails to do its work we'll; it is
not well taken care Of, and il is badly
used
A grindstone, TO do good service, should
~be at least 3 feet in diameter and 30 to 3
inches in thickness, having beVel of the
face tor grinding on. 1t should be quite
free from hard spots of iron pyrtes,
which are Injurious to tools, although these
may be taken out with sharp-pointed
punch. Ii 1t is not centered truly, it will
work out of shape, and soon require trlR-
ing up. 1t should run as fast as possible,
as it does work both better and more
quickly. To prevent it from throwing
water, piece OF bagging should be fast
ened TO staple fixed across the frame on
each end, but not so close as TO grind il
out; this will catch the excess OF water
and vet keep tle stone wet enough and
clean il. The stone should be kept in the
shade, and never in water, which sOttens
II and makes one side wear faster than
the other. the water box should have a
hole in it, to let out the water and keep
the stone dry when not IN use. In grind
ing, it should turn from the tool, and il
used otherwise, great care shOulG be ia
ken by the one VINO holds the tool, not to
gouge the stOne.-AD3. AgricuttaTtSt.

Cattle Without Horns.

A writer in the American Datrgnaaa
says
"For years we have been harping upon
the necessity for breeding the horns of
dairy cattle. The necessity for such a
movement is admitted by almost every
one engaged in the business. The ipsu-
perable obstacle is the impracticabilitv OF
admitting outside blood in the herds OF
thoroughbred cattle Tor this purpose. be-
cause IN securing one virtue all the others
may be lost; but at the same time we
know how easy it is to change the eXter-
mai features OF any breed by judicious Sc
lection"
This idea, faithfully pursued for a few
generations, would eliminate the horns
from even Texas cows, much more such a
breed as the Jerseys, whose horns, as a
breed, are already in dilapidated condi-
ton. They grow in all directions, and are
SOFT and easily broken, so that many Of
them are now disfgured by what remains.
All that Is necessary to finish the Job is
Tor the fashion to set strongly in that di-
rection, and IN few years even the pres
ent stubs would disappear. So far as
looks are concerned muley COW is GER
talnly better looking than a COW with one
norm or two stubs, or one growing forward
and the other backward, as is now the
case with many specimens in every herd.
II our breeders took as much care of the
horns as the breeders do on the Island of
Jersey there would be some sense in re-
tanning them, out, as it is, the sooner
they are bred Oft entirely the better it will
be, not only for the comfort OF the weaker
members OF the herd but for the looks of
the aged animals as well. VINO will be
The hrst to advertise registered pOlled
Jerseys? Other breeds could proft by
such an example.

1t is a grief 0 90 through our great
fruit markets see the enormous waste
and think of tie disappointed shippers,
says the ABsrjcdp Agrjc1Sttl6riSt. All
over the cOuntr, people who send fruit to
New York or OheF markets expects the
top price. TheyOi.en get a bill Of ex-
pense. Why? Tie fruit was packed
carelessly, bruisedln the handling and
packing, and wersethan all, great guam
titles packed too ,ipe. Thousands of
crates and basket of peaches and pears,
tens of thousands of crates of tomatoes,
thousands CT barrels of apples and mel
w brown ava every year, andthi
year has been especially hard on fruits Of
all sorts. The moisweather has forced a
succulent growth, which is, perhaps, the
reason for the rapid decay. The lesson to
be drawn from this state of things is, not
to ship fully ripe fruit to pack with great
care, handling every article separately,
even though they may be apparently hard.
Time thus expended s money saved. Do
not uujustly blame the commission mer-
chant for what is your fault. II matters
not, if year after year you have shipped
in the same manner and received good re-
turns. In some conditions OF the market
anything that is fruit will sell we'll. In
times of abundance, the case is quite
otherwise. The prime article sells at
fairly good price, while inferior goods
rarely pay expenses, and sometimes even
net loss.

CommerciaI IrrtIizers.

The question whether Cmmercial Ter
tilizers can be made to tSe the place or
stable manures and comNts is undergo
ine diseussIon. It's a ct that few, if
any, farms can be sufBently supplied
with c0mposts, and commercial manures
are therefore necessaryo make up the
deficiency; but eX9erice thus far, 1t
seems to us, has provedhat they should
be used only 10 make that deficiency,
while the farmer shoul, make every ef-
fort to produce manHTeat home.
Without hunus OK Veetable matter in
proper supply, the Ian will inevitably
deteriorate, and as nor Of the CONNER
cial fertilizers pretenoto furnish this, it
follows that they can oily be used prOfta-
bly, to a limited eXtet, namely, where
humus already existdn the soil. In old
WORKOUT fields tn cir rohtable use must
be very short lrved. Nature originally
fertiliZed the land by covering 1t with
vegetable matter anCeausing 1t to decay
and combine with Ii mineral manures,
and it stands to rea)n that the removal
or exhaustion Of tis predominant ele-
ment must necessrIly change the pro-
ductive qualities the soil. Let no farm
er be deceived, tbreiOre, by the specious
argument that ID soil can be kept up by
the heavy use commercial manures,
having no vegetbie matter in their com
position. Thislay do to sell the com
mercial manure to ignorant men, but it
will never prodce paying crops on worn
out lands,
Copy naturein all such experiments;
note how she rouperates the land and do
likewise. Thenineral manures are of
small value whout decayed vegetable
matter, such al stable manure, compost
or green manVing. Properly used, in
combination WITH vegetable matter, or
humus, the ghest results may be
reached, an, it often happens
that some mineral deficiency OF
the land supplied, which i'm
proves it beynd all expectation. This
shows the imprtance OF constant expert
ment, that evry farmer may learn for
himself what best for his particular
soil.

We confess we do not see the object
gained oy such method as most people
prefer dry nuts to moist, for eating.
Good management in hog raising, as in
the handling OF all other farm animals
begins with the selection OF good breed
ing stock. a good thoroughbred boar Will
greatly Improve any herd of common
hogs Almost any farmer can afford TO
buy such boar at the prices now asked.
Corn is cheap, and as a consequence it
does not pay to send a half-fat sheep to
market. The man who would do so under
the present condition OF the grain and
mutton market must be considered some
what deficient in judgment. Feed the
thrlfty wethers the cheap corn and make
them fat.
This Is how, it is said, the Germans get

One Of the suggestions made by re

to the poor tenants, consuming but little

How to Administer Medicine to
Swine


The american Ag'tcuttaytSt says: If
the medicine cannot be given in HIS food,
as when he has no appetite, or in great
pain, it must be administered direct. 70
do this is quite difficult and most farmers
give it up, or adopt the homeopathic
treatment because it is much easier.
When properly managed tits not very hard
either for the pig or the attendant. The
pig is caught by slip moose in a strong
rVpe, which goes through the mouth and
holds back OF the tusks. He will pull
back with ali his might, ami the rope
must be made fast quite short, to the top
Of post or fence. Then his legs are Sc
euied so that he cannot sEring forward.
Nov II an old shoe with the lOle in the toe
Ia given him to chew upon, ne will champ
npol - as angrily as possible, and the
meS <can be poured INTO his mouth
81 ia little at dme, or he Will
IKE, and strange, ana cough. Another
syay Is to hold the pig IL the same way, or
as Tor ringing, and to pour the medicine
into one nOstril, through an oil can such
as Is used for oillng machinery. Either
Of these methods renders it possible TO
give medicine to a pig as efectuaily as to
any animal. and i'll not possible that his
rage Will have ary evil effect, as in the
case OF a struggling child.
