England the greatest live stock
country Of the world, owes more OF her
agricultural prosperity to her turnip
fields and sheep folds than to any other
agency. Every writer on her farm
economy gives due importance to this
fact.
An email apples and Others defective
in form or damaged by worms have
their best market on the farm as food
for animals. Ii packed with sound
fruit, even in small proportion, they re-
duce the price Of all often to the point
of loss. Prdirie Farmer.
-Poutry-farming doesn't take a
great deal of land, but with good man
agement the harvest comes every day,
and though it is small its multiplication
by all the days Of the year makes a sum
that compares fayorably with more pre-
tentous ventures Western Rural.
Animals have their personal or in
dividual peculiarities of tastes and hab-
its, the same as persons. Therefore in
feeding you want TO notice that some
animals are more dainty as to their
choice than others. Their likes should
be respected. Chicago journal.

with a family. In order TO secure such
n man YOU must provide place upon
the farm for his family to live, rs close
to the barn as your own house. Then
you can obtain help, that, in character,
will fairly represent the kind of house
YOU give them to live in.--Mogtredl W.

The evaporation of sweet corn to
save il for winter use has become COM
mon practice among many farmers.
The corn is boiled on the ear and then
cut off and placed in ovens, on racks,
over the fire or in a regular evaporator,
and thoroughly dried. When quite dry
il is placed in tight bags and kept in Il
dry place until required for use ~ T.

Diseases are often communicated
by feeding horses in stalls which have
been occupied previously by diseased
animals Such stalls should first be
thoroughly cleaned and disinfccted. To
do this take a pint of sulphuric acid and
put it in a bucket of water. Then, with
an old mop, wash all the parts of the
stall, especially the trough or manger.
All stalls should be occasionally so dis
infected, as their constant use permits
them TO gradually become unfit abodes
OF the animals.-N T. Times.
Horses are all the better for being
made to DO some work in winter. They
need some for exercise, and if well fed
as they should be, will work every day
except Sundays without being injured.
1t shows poor calculation ON the part of
any farmer who keeps lot of horses in
his stables all winter with nothing for
them to do. The hired help to keep
these teams at work can be had much
more chcaply in winter than in summer.
