The Bride Bits.

OF all the instruments in general
everyday use the most indispensable
and the most universally employed in
all the great operations in life. in both
pleasure and profit in every land, is the
Bride Bit. Apart from the farm, truck,
cart and car-horse bit, it is least under
stood and most abused in all its secret
and various practical applications, of
any instrument used. If the mechanics
must serve their time to learn to handle
the tools used in their trades, why not
the equestrian Yet there is no imple-
ment in such general use of which the
dictionaries and encyclopedias are so
negiectful, and in some respects silent,
as this.
The bit has wide field in both its
general use and its individual opera
tons which, in the saddle horses mouth
is or should be magical. Every horse
we'sce employed has bit in his mouth,
every race is lost or won with the bit,
and under its management millions of
dollars year change hands. The ut
most art of the maker of fancy iron
jewelry is conferred in the bit, and its
appendages, of every stylish equipage.
The bit plays its part in all the equine
feats. interests and operations in every
land, whether civilized or barbaric. in
both peace and war; and in the truck,
cart car and agricultural interests il
plays its most humble, yet important
part While in war, nation might a,

The Sugar Makers Revenge.

From The Boston Record
Ike Sloan was farmer, like all other Yer
monters, but wasn't exactly one of the type
whose 'critters" and vegetables always bring
moro money than other peoples Onthe con-
trary, If there was any difference between the
price that he got for his products and the
market rate, it was generally to his disadvant-
age. One day on his way back from the vii
lagc he complained bitterly to the people with
whom he gossiped along the road that the
storekeeper had abused him most shamefully
by giving him only nine cents pound for
his maple sugar.
''But, goi dern him." said Sloan with a
chuckle, ~ got even with him, for ! put more'n
two dozen bucketfuls Of water In the sap be.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Seasonable Suggestions from the
American Agriculturist.
Live Stock I'm April.

Battle the horses shoulders with cold
water or brine as quick as the collars
come off. before the sweat begins to dry,
and rub of the collars and saddle pieces
with moist cloth. This will prevent
sore shoulders. All changes of food
should be gradual, but in proportion to
the work. Heavily taxed muscles make
demands on the stomach; hence, in
crease the feed after work begns-nev-
er in anticipation. A horse fed up be-
fore he is called to work gets soft and
fat. Be careful to protect horses from
drafts when warm; rub down., blanket,
or let them stand in close stables.
Cows at calving need little care, the
less the better if in loose box or the
open field. "Fussingn over them is al
ways provocative of injury. Give no
grain, but loosening diet of bran and
roots for some days, and gradually in
crease feed as feveriSh symptoms pass
away. Keep calves growing thriftily;
skim-milk with a little linseed meal
scalded and added to it as o substitute
for the cream, is just as good for them
as whole milk fed from the pail Sheep
must be kept in dry yards or there will
be danger to their feet. Ewes with
lambs should have grain daily, at least
until they come to pasture. SWINE
Those who buy young pigs for feeding
should buy none but half-bloods by
Berkshire, Yorkshire, Poland or other
pure sire. They grow faster and fatten
with less feed. Poultry.-Reduce the
stock of fowls as soon as this year 5
hatch is well provided for, but hold on
to old turkeys and old geese, they get
used to the ways of the farm and are
worth much more as breeders than
young ones. Ducks also are good till
three years old A turkey is in her
prime at five, and goose at twenty.

A Good Plant Protector

Take four strips, one-half inch thick
and one inch wide, and twelve inches
long; bore n hole in one end of these,
through which pass wire. the ends of
which are twisted together, but not so
tightly as to prevent the opposite ends
of the pieces from being spread apart
from eight inches to a foot, making a.
tent-shaped frame. Cheap muslin is.
then tackled on the frame, of course,
spreading the pieces before doing so.
The muslin should be brought down to
within about two inches of the ends of
the sticks, so as to allow them to be run
into the ground that distance when in
use. When not in use, the protectors
can be closed up and take but little
room, and if properly cared for they
will last several seasons.

Farm Hints for April.

April is busy month from Prince
Edwards Island TO Puget Sound.
When spring comes in the high north
ern latitudes, it is upon us at once. 1t
is winter one day and almost summer
the next. The heavy SHOWS draw the
frost from the soil, so that when this
disappears the ground is ready for the
pillow. While snow lasts get out the
manure. the work goes so much quicker
and easier on runners than on wheels.
One of the earliest jobs is narrowing
winter grain. The advantage Of 4 :aor-
ough narrowing with smoothing hnr-
row is SO great that it pays not to sow
grass in the autumn, but at the time of
narrowing in spring. Grain sowed
broadcast by itself should always be
narrowed several times. MultitudeS of
weeds are thus killed, and the stirring
of the soil is great advantage. Grass
sown by itself will almost uniformly
give satisfaction. The earlier spring
grains are sown the better. Forage
crops, such as peas and oats, spring
rye, wheat and vetches or peas, should
be put in in succession once in two
weeks Certain seeds of root crops are
very sensitive to dry weather. Pars-
nips must be sown very early; an admi-
rable crop for milk, and for neat cattle.
Mangels and sugar beet are best put in
early; but CARROTS at any time before
midsummer. The tendency of good
practice is to grow more roots, green
forage, and fodder, either for curing or
ensiloing. Do not let manure heaps
heat; work them over, or get them I'M
der ground. April, throughout the
country, may be depended upon for sew
eral weeks of blowing weather, though
it DO showery.'

Management of Young Lambs

The sooner the young lambs are dock
ed, and the males emasculated, the
easier the operations may be performed
We have been in the habit of going
through the flock once week with a
pair of sharp shears, and clipping the
tails and castrating by one single clip.
The lamb is held under the left arm,
and the skin of the tail is slipped up to-
ward the root with the fingers of this
hand; the tail is then clipped off with
the shears. A pinch of powdered blue
stone (sulphate of copper, is put on
the wound, and the wool is drawn down
and matted together with the little
blood that escapes. Nothing more is re-
quired, and the wound heals quickly,
the lamb evincing no indications of
suffering. 1t is best to cut the tail
about two inches from the root, so as
to leave sufficient of it to escape injury
if the stump does not heal favorably,
and the joint next to the cut sloughs of;
this, however, rarely happens if the
shears are clean, and at the same time
sharp.

expensive methods employed abroad in
training fruit-trees, is not recognized
with us, owing to our dry, warm at
mosphcre. But occasionally we hear
of persons pruning their apple and
pear orchards according to an cstab-
lished rule. one of which may be de-
scribed as follows. Commencing with
two or three year old tree, the body is
trimmed to the requisite height, when
three branches are allowed to start out
from as nearly the same height as pos
sible, and forming equal angles. From
eighteen to twenty-four inches higher
up, similar whorl is located, which
system is carried out so long as the
tree increases in height. The DISPOSE
ton of the secondary branches is not
very particular. SO that an open head is
formed.
Orchards commenced under this sys-
tenn OF training twenty years ago, have
now the trees perfect in outline; but
after all, it is questionable whether so
much care and labor pays in the end.
