A Good and Cheap Fertilizer.

Last yearSI procured some bone
dust that cost me $34 per ton. went
to a neigboring steam mill that burn
ed wood, and bought fifty bushels Of
ashes at five cents per bushel. That
made $3.50 for about two tons of
fertilizer. l mixed the bone-d dust and
wood ashes, half and half. As l mix
ed l applied water. After this l put
it IN barrels. In a few days fermenta.
tion set in, the heat lasting two or
three weeks and then it cooled of.
Then it was ready for use, and used
some of it on some plants, mixing it
thoroughly with the soil. / set the
plants ont four feet each way. l tell
you, you never saw fruit superior to
that raised under these circumstances.
Our soil is heavy, dark lay, very we'll
adapted to the strawberry. Th. peo-
pie of the country said that, fority or
fifty years ago, it was one vast field of
wild strawberries. 1t is the natural
home of the strawberry. The Downer,
Longfellow and Warran originated in
our neighborhood. There are wild
Strawberries around our fences now.
The fertilizer l have described is, in
my judgment, superior to the CONNER
cial fertilizers that We pay for at the
rate of fifty or sixty dollars ton. If
we can mix our fertilizers at such
small prices, let up keep our money in
our pockets and not squandsr it by
buying these high priced fertilizer',
many of which produce very question
able results.-W. Cook In The World.

Repairing Broken Legs.

The legs of any animal which may
be broken by accident, may be repair
ed by the use of wet paper bandages.
For large animals the strips of paper
should be dipped in paste made of
calcined plaster of Paris, which soon
sets and makes stiff, permanent ban
dage, which holds the broken bone in
place until it heals. The animal, a
horse or a COW, should be held in
slings to prevent injury to the limb
by violent motion. The broken legs
of small animals-as sheep or fowls
require only to be brought into proper
position, and bound with strips Of wet
paper until sufficiently strong BAN
dage is made A covering of cloth
is then put on and secured with few
stitches or tied with a tape or string.
The paper soon dries, and becomes
hard and stiff. Nothing more need
be donc but keep the animal in aquiet,
dark place to restrain too much move
ment. A little movement does no
harm, but excitss the Inflammation
needed to produce union and healing
of the bone.-N. Y. Times.

ally will keep horses coat bright

Never have a dark, dismal, damp
stable. Give the stock light, clean
and cheerful quarters.
Whether the farmers horses and
cattle ''sat their heads off" depends
chiefly upon what sort of head their
owner has.
1t is not 10 much new patent

careful that the 4,SOO different kinds

clean.
II your fowls must wade through

if they are ever to get another feed, it
will not take ibig basket to hold all
the eggs they will lay.
The COW that is forced to find her
only shelter on the lee side of q wire
fence should not be expected to furn-
ish milk and butter for the family,
and enough surplus to exchange at
the store for needed groceries.
1t is much easier to keep up good

regain it when lost. The stock feel

Look to Your Live Stock in January.

January is a critical month with all
kinds of live stock. They should be
kept comfortable and gaining. If
they begin to fall off in condition, they
will be almost sure to lose rapidly ;
and will require more food and better
care to keep them mp, than if we'll
housed, and continuously well-fed.
B. systematic and regular then they
will not stand and worry for food or
water; and will take time to feed, to
ruminate, and to rest. Look after
sheds and stables, to keep them clean
and warm. Water ought not to freeze
in cow or horse stables on the coldest
nights; and, at the same time, the
ventilation should be such that the
air is always sweet. Pigs suffer great
ly with the cold, and should have dry,
well-littered nests, always. Litter
them with straw or swamp hay, enough
SO that they can cover themselves out
of sight in. Sheep should have dry
sheds; they bear . great deal Of cold,
but should not have wet nor dirty
straw to lie in. Where much straw is
to be thrown into their sheds, provide
q few movable platforms, like old barn
doors, for them to stand upon. They
will be great comfort to them, and
they are easily turned over when fresh
straw is thrown in, or they get dirty.
Fowls will lay if they have warm
houses, are well fed. and have chance
to exercise. The free range of the
cattle sheds, sheep sheds, and the
barnyard, gives, usually, sufficient e1
ercise. If debarred from these, they
must have sheltered runs and bare
ground. Ducks need to be well fed,
out not allowed to get too fat if they
are to begin laying early. Too much
corn is always bad, except for fatten
ing poultry, as it produces internal
fat, stops laying, and makes the fowls
lazy. No exercise, no sggs.-4meri-

Pilgrims of the Air.

At the time If the great fire in Chi

dent happened. y family wing near
the lake shore had q large number OF
pet birds. They / adj added t. their
parlOr long, narrow room, with glass
windows reaching from ceiling to floor,
for the pleasure of these feathered

the pretty creatures fluttering about,
TO hear their songs, or watch them "a

was full of music. 1t was like a concert
in the wildwood.
One afternoon, the week of the fire,
4 cloud e fluttering wings moved
YEARLY up the street. Presently these
homeless ones caught sight of their
happy cousins in the beautiful glass
house. 1t gave them fresh courage.
Some even tapped for admittance. II
was a pitiful plea for rest and food,
from these, doubtless, their kinsfolk and
scquaintances.
The ladies Of the house without delay
shut off the home-birdS into what might
be called their back parlor. But through
the glass door they could see all that
went on. With eager eyes they noted
every movement. Then, opening q
window, they stepped aside, that the
tired travellers might feel free to enter.
Ready to drop from fatigue and hunger,
they went in. Some would have fallen
but for hands held out in welcome.
They could not at once eat or battle.
They lay painting, grateful fcr rest and
safety. There were, perhaps, twenty Of
them, and nearly all canaries. They

this pathetic search for protecting love

When these tender wayfarers had

gave.

Care of the Eyes.

For the care of the eyes, the following
rules are laid down by noted Oculist:
Keep shade on your lamp or gas
burner.
Avoid all sudden changes between
light and darkness.
Never begin to read, write or sew for
several minutes after coming from
darkness to light.
Never read by twilight, moonlight, or
on cloudy days.
Never read or sew directly in front of
the light, window or door,
1t is best to let the light fall from
above obliquely over the left shoulder.
Never slee3 so that on first awakening
the eyes shall open on the light OF a
window.
Do not use the eyesight by light 50
scant that it requires an effort tc dis
criminate.
The moment you are instinct;vely
prompted to rub your eyes, that moment
stop using them.
If the eyelids are glued together on
waking up do not forcibly open them,
but apply saliva with the finger-it Is
the speediest dilutant in the world; then
wash your eyes and face il warm water.
