HuseANpRY HINTS.

FooD that is calculated to fatten an animal rapidly should be used sparingly.
 MUCH care should be observed in always keeping seed-corn perfectly dry during storage.
 MoULDY grain should not be fed to fowls. If dried in the oven and scorched just a little it makes wholesome food
 IT is dangerous practice to put halters on young growing animals in the pastures, where they are not strictly under the eye of the herdsman.
 BETTER have two well titled acres than four neglected. Better one hill in fine growth than two starved. Better one good animal than two poor ones.
 IF we breed what the market demands, the purchaser will come to us; but if we do not breed what the market calls for we must search for customers.
 ROTATING crops, maturing lands and subduing weeds are to a farmer what keeping his factory in perfect order and re- pair are to the nufacturer-indispens to success.
 THE farmer who spends his money before he gets it is always at a disadvantage, for as soon as he gets any money some hand is reaching for it, and he no sooner has it than it IS gone.
 THERE are too many farmers who do not give the farm credit for it's just dues, such as the use of house and every thing in the way of meat, butter, eggs, fruit and in fact almost every thing the farmer and his fami- ly live upon.
 IF foods are fed that are rich in blood making and muscle-forming character, like bran and oats, the COW puts the fats of the food into the milk, and uses the rest for the support of her system, and stronger flow of milk is the result.
 GRASS is the foundation of success in farming. It assists during the process of rotation to improve the soil, and enables more and better stock to be kept. The farmer who succeeds in securing good hay crop has won half the battle.
 AUTUMN is the time to prepare for early chickens. Dispose of all surplus birds and push the early bullets forward. If they lay early they will become broody early. Without early eggs and early s:tters there can be no early chickens reared in the old way.
 WITHOUT education, and without books and papers, person may become good practical farmer by the force of habit and do his work as perfectly as machine, but he thereby becomes a mere machine, or beast of burden, with no more bodily con- fort or intellectual enjoyment than his horse.
 No PRUNING at all is safer practice than the putting of sharp knife into the hands of an ignoramus. It requires skill and knowledge of varieties and their peculiari- ties which few possess to prune apple and pear trees properly. What would be good treatment for one variety would be ruinous to others.
 DIVERSIFIED farming requires that after, as producer, the farmer shall have got the raw materials on hand he must, as manu- facturer, convert his hay, grain, etc., into cattle, hogs, sheep, poultry, etc. Thus his duties change. Now as tiller of the soil, then as stock breeder. To-day as a me- chanic, tomorrow as a physician, treating an ailing animal. Can the education and raining of such one be too extended and eneral!
 To MAKE good milk there must be the ob- aiming of the necessary elements from the feed, or else the cow shrinks down to a mess she can afford, or she draws upon her body for the lacking elements; and the big milker, grass-fed, hy-bothered and dog pestered, gets poor and her bones rattle. The owner says she is a good COW; "she milks down poor every summer" forgetting when she does get chance, she consumes an undue amount of food that results to the owner in no profit.
