To Rid Cattle of Lice.
Avoarfoou Cutfivatnr

NJ. @. K, st. Lawrence County, New
York: The question which this CORE
spondent asked is one that before next
spring will interest hundreds of young
farmers who own cattle and colts. 1t
would astonish the Northern stock-growers
TO see the actual annual loss caused by YER
min presented in figures, to say nothing OF
the torture which the poor animals thus
sfflicted are compelled to endure. II has
been claimed by some that lice will never
trouble fat animals. This is a mis- AIKEN
i6es, and probably arises from the fact that
the thrifty farmer. noted for having fat
stock, always keeps his herd free from
these annoying pests. There are several
remedies, which, if applied faithfully and
followed up, will free every animal treated
from these annoying and expensive
parasites. Washing the animals thor
oughly from nose to tail in a
strong decoction of quassia chips has
proved effective in the worst OF cases. 1t
may be necessary to repeat the washing
once or twice, in order to kill a new crop
which is likely to be Matched from the
nits. In using this remedy it is important
that the animals treated should have warm
quarters, otherwise they are liable to be-
come so thoroughly chilled before they are
dry as to be made dangerously sick. We
have known cases OF pneumonia brought
on by washing COWS in the country where
there were no conveniences for sheltering
them in a warm room.until dry. Tobacco
smoke is the safest and surest remedy thai
can be employed in cold weather, and an
| instrument for administering it should bt
| in the hands of every Northern STOCK
grower, or at least in every neighborhood
| The smoke can be applied in the coldes
winter weather, without the slightes
danger OF injury to the animals. Common
insect powder is recommended highly b,
some. 1t is a safe remedy and easily sp
| piled, but not so effective as tobacc'
| smoke.

FARM NOTES.

Frozen plants can best be restored by
dipping in cold water.
Canada now furnishes more sheep for
the Boston market than any State in the
Union.
Sulphur sprinkled in the dust furnished
hens at this season for bathing Will help
prevent lice,
Red winter apples which are specially in
demand, are said by merchants to be e1-
tremely rare this season.
Most breeders score failure in trying
to winter too many hens in small quarters.
Hens that are crowded will not lay.
1t is the advice of q prominent dairy
man to farmers not to keep COWS that give
less than eco gallons of milk a year.
Small turkeys are more salable and
usuallv in greater demand than those of a
large size, though this tact is not generally
known.
Five toes on each foot of dressed chicken
is en- excellent indication OF quality, al
such are the markings of the Dorkings and
Houdans.

Saving the Manure.

an exchange remarks that farmers will
never be entirely agreed as whether man
uIe should be hauled out IN the winter,
the fall, or the spring, but one point may
be regarded as settled, which is that every
bit Of manure in the barnyard should be
used on the farm, The writer goes on to
sav:
There is not IN acre of land that is be-
ing cropped that does not need continued
fertilization. If any one doubts it, the
EXPERIMENT is easily made of putting man.
ule on a part OF the field and leaving the
remainder unmanured and watching the
result. But whether to haul out the barn
refuse in the winter or wait till spring
will be a question. On the one side is
the fact that it improves the manure to
stsI in heaps and rot, or rather it i'm
proves IFS condition for handling, and 1t
mere rapidly mixes with and becomes q
par of the soil, so that its immediate ef-
feels sre much greater. On the other
hard, il the manure is hauled on the field
in tie winter and spread on the ground.
viii it does not rot, tho melting SHOWS
and The spring rains wash from 1t into the
soil al the liquids in it that would, If the
MAI ure was left in heaps in the yard, be
| wesh ed away.
Ths main reason for hauling the manure
! IN IL winter, however, is that there is
| Their more time to do 1t, and that 1T is
mucb more easily drawn over the frozen
| ground In the winter than over the soft
gIoEnd in the spring. This advantage is
so great that we do not see why every
farmer should not use the winter months
to scatter all the manure possible on biz
fields
Where a wagon is available that can bt
spared for that purpose, it is an excsllen
plan 20 keep it where the refuse from tht
barn and stable can be thrown on it anC
taken to the field as often as the wagon i
loaded. This saves much rehandling ant
much tire. The old theory is that the am
monia that is in the manure would b.
wasted by evaporation. While it Is tru
that some is lost the quantity is so snal
that it is not worthy of thought, if any ad
wants &c is to be gained in any other way
1t iE also true that on some kinds ofgroun
the liquids from the manure might be ca
, | fied ? way to some extent, but this is YER
small. As rule, the teams on the farr
do rot get any more exercise than the
need in winter, and the hauling out OF Ii
mar ure will give them needed exercise.

Love of the right sort may not rip or tear

dowdyism, but these do wear of the nap.
Beyond comparison, the hand that holds

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
A General Belief That it will be Held in
New York City,

NEW York, January 2l.-A Washington
special SAYS: That the Democratic Nation
oil Convention will be held in New York
City is now reasonably certain The Presl-
dent is in favor Of such decision. The
work that will be performed by the Demo
cratic National Committee, which is to
meet in this city on Washington's birth
day, will be largely perfunctory so far as
the selection of a place Tor holding the
National Convention is concerned. The
President is not alone in the view oil the
necessity for holding the convention in
the metropolis. Most of the party leaders
believe that the best way OF insuring the
Empire State to the Democratic column is
by selection of New York City as the place
to begin the campaign.
On request Of a Commute from Gin
cinnati, Senator Beck called upon Presi-
dent Cleveland to ascertain il he and any
preference as to which city the convention
should be held in. He reported that the
President insisted that the conyen-
ticn should 90 to New York City,
ard, ss a consequence, Dir. Beck said, the
Presidents wishes would undoubtedly be
respected, and ''all our people" would
vote in favor of sending the National Dam
ocTatic Convention to that city. By "all
our people," the Senator alluded to Demo
Gratis generally. This expression of Mr..
Cleveland's preference would rather put
damper on the Cincinnati gentlemen, as
they believed that If Mr.. Cleveland really
expressed preference for New York City
the convention will go there. Senator
Voorhees, told member of the committee
from Cincinnati that, no matter what the
Presidents preference might be in regard
| 10 this matter, the convention would DC
held in Western city. snd the fight for it,

Louis and Cincinnati. in the order named

veniion of 1883 Will be held in New Horf

To Tell the Age of a Horse.

To tell the age of any horse,
Inspect the lower jaw, OF course;
The six front teeth the tale will tell,
And every doubt and fear dispel.
Two middle "nipplers" YOU behold
Before the colt is two weeks old.
Before eight weeks two more will come;
Eight months, thei"corners" cut the gum
The outside grooves will disappear
From middle two in Just one year.
In two years from the second pair,
In three years the corners, too, are bare.
At two the middle "nippers" drop.
At three the second pair can't stop.
When four years old the third pair goes,
At five tull new set he shows,
The deep black spots will pass from view
At six years from the middle two;
The second pair stseven years.
At eight the spot each corner" clears.
From middle "nipDers'' upper jaw
At nine the black spots will Withdraw;
The second part at ten are white;
Eleven hnds the "corners" light.
As time goes on. the hOrsemen know,
The oval teeth three-sided grow:
They longer get, project before,
Till twenty, when we know no more.

ALP No there is another bunch of wool OF
another color, q different staple; 1t smells
different; it must be-yes, it is pert of

These words were used in an address to
wool-growers, and the speaker told them
the truth, that when they put up wool in
that way, they did it at a loss. He was
speaking in Western New York when he
said: Western New York wool is neglect
ed in the seaboard markets because the
buyer knows he will pay for what is not
wool. The tags you cut in the fall are
hardly worth saving. ALI the wool there
is in the fribbs and stuff that is swept from
the floor In days shearing will hardly
weigh two pounds, and the trife of wool
that attaches the excrescences at the spring
trimming had far better be left out OF the
heeces. There is money in this sort oil
talk to the wool-grower. if he will only
govern himself accordingly.

Look After the Sheep.


Sheep must be carefully looked after at
this season of the year. 1t is all nonsense
to claim that sheep need but little atten-
ton Lack of attention is not the way
farmers make money on sheep at the
present time. Sheep will lose flesh if left
to feed on frost-bitten grass with nothing
better to 60 with it. They will look plump
when full of such grass, but later on the
fact is revealed that they have lost weight,
Shelter them from cold storms, put them
up in the feeding pens at night, and give
them feed of grain or q ration of turnips
or cabbage. Keep them thriving from the
time grass fails if you would have them go
through the winter all right. II this can
not be done in one way then do 1t in an
other. Keep them thriving, and they will
be ready to bring forth good lamb early
in the winter il you want, and will furnish
an abundant flow of milk.
Such lambs as were noted in our valua
be market report Of two weeks ago from
P itten, 500 of which averaged 100 pounds
each, are not grown on neglect and inatten-
ton. 1t Is possible to neglect sheep, but
IL can not be done without 1t costing
dearly.
