IS wonderful what quantity of manure
may be got together by those who keep
this fact always before them"
American Dairyman: A teaspoonful
of dissolved charcoal given to cow or
animal when sick will regulate the
stomach in a few moments, and where
sickness is caused by over eating or the
animal is badly bloated by eating green
apples, or, in fact, anything that tends
to cause indigestion, it will prove q sure
and quick cure.
A WESTERN farmer advises to tie ears
of corn together with husKs, IN some
place where the grain can be saturated
with coal smoke. The odor, he SAYS,
repels squirrels and worms from eating
the seed. The seed comes up quicker,
the plants grow more vigorously. and
ripen several days earlier than from
seed not so treated.
CAREFUL accounts show that on good
rich land at fair price, good straw
berries can be grown at cost pot to
exceed cents per quart, and often even
less than this; ana there are plenty of
localities yet where a steady market
could be found for these at from Z to 10
cents per quart all through the season,
and in these localities, at least. there is
certainly plenty of room yet t. grow
Wberries.
]. A. WOODWARD. of the Farm Jour-
nat, mentions an instance of successful
use by q friend. of potatoes ard bran
for horses, instead of the usual allow
ance of grain: The ration was half
peck OF raw potatoes and two quarts of
bran twice day, to which was added
small quantity OF clover hay. They
were as fat and sleek as moles.' They
carried us five miles in fifty minutes,
through stiff muddy roads, and when
we drove up to the station, they were as
cool as cucumbers."
AN experimental shipment of An
CORA goats was made to Chicago re-
Gently, from Texas. They were nov
elty-nobody wanted them. The mer-
chant to whom they were consigned had
several killed, nicely dressed and cooked
in many ways, and invited the principal
butchers of the city to the repast. The
meat was boiled, roasted, stewed and
fried. The butchers ate heartily, and
pronounced the meat first-class and
superior to mutton, and then there was
no more trouble in disposing of the
whole lot at good price. They aver
aged eighty pounds. - Southern Live

Mr.. GEORGE NJ. WHITAKER, before
the Massachusetts Horticulture Society:
MANY farmer who calls himself en-
terprising and who does raise good
crops, forget that with a few hours
work, he could plant few trees that
would greatly enhance the value of his
estate, and yield blessings of beauty
long after he has passed away" eff
the father cannot spare little land for
a lawn, or flower garden, if he cannot
give the boys little time, and some
encouragement thrown in, TO care for
them and add to the looks of his home,
if he thinks of nothing but the COWS
and the corntields, he mrst not be sur
prised at being left alone in his old
age"
PEAS should be planted as early as
the ground will admit, in a rich deep
soil for a vigorous growth and large
production. Several successive plant
ings should be made at short intervals
to secure successive pickings through
the season. The same result can be
obtained, to some degree, by planting
al the same time varieties that have
earlier and later periods for ripening.
From the many kinds offered by seeds
men, choose the ones most to your llk-
ing, and follow the directions as to
planting and cultivating that are given
on the packets. The wrinkled peas are
more delicate in flavor and remain
longer in season than the smooth sorts,
and there are many to select from that
do not require support from brush.
