The best stock water is that of liv-
ing springs; the next, that of running
streams. Fully equal to these, save in
the exception Of hardness, is the water
of wells, free from surface drainage.
The worst water is that of slack streams
and especially stagnant ponds.-Troy

Dipping fish in scalding water will
cause the scales to come of very easily,
but if the fish are to be sailed down
they must on no account be scalded.
You may then pour over them vinegar
with the same effect. Salt fish will
soak fresh much quicker in sour milk
than in water.-The Cook.
An excellent way to thrash buck
wheat, where there is no thrashing-
machine, is to make floor of rails,
raised a foot above the ground, and
make the bed upon this. AS the grain
is thrashed out it falls through between
the rails, which at the end are moved
away and the grain is cleaned up with
out difficulty. -Aibamy Journal.

Bushes along the fences cause tn
cattle to reach over the fences an
break them down. After awhile the
crawl over, and when they get owe
once the second offence comes easier
Breachy cattle are made in this way
and damage often done which woul
pay for cutting the brush and weed
for years. Foul seeds are grown an
spread from these sources. Clean KEY
fences do the eyes good. How az
