scasonablc Hints and Suggestions.
To enrich land that is poor we must
have manure, or its equivalent in veg
etable matter, or apply plant food
in some shape TO induce the growth Of
| vegetation.
| Professor Arnold states that IL costs
more to make milk from old cows than
it does sfrom young ones having the same
milk capacity. AS a rule the best effects
do not last beyond the eighth year of
the cows age.
1t requires about one-sixteenth less
food to put an animal in condition in
warm than it does in cold weather. II
| the dairyman expect his cows to be pro-
fitable he must look after their comfort
both as to food and shelter.
| Corn and timothy are far from a
well-balanced food. Timothy has no
excess of nitrogenous material, while
the corn is highly carbonaceous. More
muscle and milk forming material
would make more and better milk.
The raising Of forest trees Is regarded
| as one of the most profitable industries
in southern California. The eucalyp-
tus. pecan, black walnut, cherry,
and many other varieties have quick
growth and are very profitable to tho
planter.
When you buy sheep for purposes
be sure that II is better than the best
one in your flock in blood and physical
| development and see to ii that it is
cared for like any other piece of of val
uable property. Good live stock like
! good clothes, cannot be exposed to all
kinds of hardship without showing the
| effects of such harsh treatment.
The supreme court of North Carolina
holds that If a crop be in actual possess
sion of the tenant, his taking the same
! would not constitute larceny; but If
after the crop had been put in the
actual possession of the landlord,
though undivided, the tenant in taking
the same would be guilty of larceny,
the legal ownership being In the lessor.
| Every attention should be given the
young lambs as they are born, and the
warmest place on the farm is not too
warn, for them now, as they should be
forced in growth, so as to reach the
market early in order to reach the
higher prices.
Hens that are laying may be literally
fed on q variety, as the production of
eggs will cause an appropriation of all
the. food to that purposes; but hens not
laying must be fed sparingly or they
will become too fat and fail to lay.
The cost of corn for simply keeping
the hogs of the United States warm has
been estimated at 5000, 600, that be-
ing the difference between fattening
the hogs in cold weather and in SUM
mer.
Judging cattle by points" on the
hoof is not always reliable, as not one Of
the prize animals ut the fat stock show
received the awards for dressed car
casses after having been slaughtered.
The liquids OF the stables are from
three to Ave times as valuable as the
The best mode of so doing is to use some
kind OF absorbent material.
Save the fresh horse manure, free
from litter, for your hotbeds, and use
plenty of it, in order to rapidly gener-
ate heat when the frame shall be ready.
| An ordinary rubber atomizer, which
costs about 81, is an excellent article for
spraying house plants Or green house
plants when affected by plant lice.
There is still hope Tor sheep being
profitable, as It is claimed that Canada
furnishes more sheep for the Boston
market than any state in cur union.
A certain proportion of animal heat
must be created daily from the food, /, or
that stored rs fat in the body will be re-
sorted to in order to counteract the eff
feet OF cold. There is no ''standstill''
in the matter, as animals are either los
ing flesh, Or gaining. Every pound lost
causes a real loss of two, as the time and
will be doubled.
! Despite the oleomargarine law the
production of choice "gilt-edged" but
ter is FAR below the demand, as q larger
proportion OF inferior butter finds its
way to market The creameries send
butter of the most uniform quality to
market, but that from private dairies
differs greatly.
Incubators are now established all over
the country, and in experienced hands
have been demonstrated as far superior
to hens for Matching early broilers, as
they can be put In operation at any time
thus enabling the operator to get the
broilers in market ut any period de-
sired.
A single diseased animal may entail a
loss to a community amounting to thou
sands of dollars. 1t cost Missouri 81 ,00O, :
600 and ten months time to stamp out
pleuro-pneumOnia while the loss to the
cattlemen Of Kentucky has reached fully
$2,OO0, 900.
Onions are often put out in the month
of March as they are hardy and endure
quite severe frost. The sooner they
can be put out and made to rapidly grow
the better, as they do not make rapid
progress after the beginning OF warm
weather.
The yield Of cream and butter from
milk should under most circumstances
naturally increase in proportion to the
milk as the amount of tne butter is
lessened. A farrow cow five or SIX
months after calving gives less richer
milk than she does at first. But what
avails this to the buttermaker, If he or
she cannot separate the butter from the
cream in which 1t is inclosed? Adding
warm sweet milk seems to entirely re-
move the difficulty, and has many other
Incidental advantages.
Savage Tactics.
