Cutting OF the Combs.

1t has long been a practice among
game breeders to cut off the combs and
,wattles of themales. 1t is not believed
to be cruel process. but of that we are
not SO sure, as the removal of any por-
ton of the body is attended with pain to
a certain extent. Leghorn breeders are
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of cutting
off the combs in order to avoid the effects
of the frost in winter, which cuts off the
combs slowly and painfully. The one is
done quickly and the othar is slow tort
ure. 1t is not safe to cut off the combs
and wattles of old birds, as they bleed
very profusely. Young birds (males and
females) may be dubbed" when four
months old, or as soon as the comb is
well developed. Use sharp shears or
razor. A very sharp knife will an
swer. Cut off the wattles first and then
the comb, and battle the parts with cold
alum water. The solution of alum
should be as strong as possible, and the
parts well saturated with it. Our advice
is not to cut at all if it can be avoided,
and subject the large comb breeds only
to the process.-Farm and Fireside.

MANURE.
The Best Methods of Making, Saving and
MANURE.


The Best Methods of Making, Saving and
Applying It.
1t is an all-important point in the
saving of manure, says the Ohio Farmer.
to use enough bedding to absorb all OF
the liquid manure, for there is where
the greatest waste of manure occurs
The solid manure is nearly always saved,
but large part of the liquid manure is
allowed to go to waste, and often be-
cause the value Of it is not properly
understood. OF late there has been SO
much written and said on the subject
that almost every intelligent farmer
understands its value. Twas more fully
impressed with its value when I took
up an old stable floor few years ago.
out straw, chat and dried manure, all of
1t SO dry and light it was difficult to
load on account of the wind blowing it
away; to all appearance it was not
worth much more than SO much chaf.
We were top-dressing wheat with stable
manure at the time. We spread this
manure on the same field, but not near
as thick, and the wheat thus MANFRED
was almost twice as heavy, and the
grass where it was applied always lodged
as long as it was in meadow. Since
then have doubled my efforts in trying
to save all the liquid manure.
I think straw and chat little the
incest for bedding, when it can be had,
as they are drier and generally more
convenient; but leaves, muck, sawdust
and shavings will answer the same pur-
pose. Yards where stock is allowed to
run should be as small as possible, not to
crowd the stock too much, and then the
manure will not be washed so much by
the rain and will be easier to gather.
Where stock is allowed to run to stack
in the yard, the litter around the stack
should be kept spread over the yard and
kept as near level as possible, and if
any thing, have the lowest spot in the
center. think it good plan to allow
hogs to run in the yard, as they will
keep it from getting tramped SO hard,
and the straw will rot faster.
It will surprise those who have never
tried this plan to see the amount of
straw that can be worked into manure.
In this connection I should like to call
the attention of farmers who keep sheep
to the Importance of keeping them we'll

to let sheep run without any.bedding at
I'll and never clean the stables until
they want to use the manure; then they
have to use pickaxe or spade to dig
the manure up, and it comes out in great
chunks, difficult to spread evenly. If
they were kept bedded and the stables
cleaned, the manure would be as easy to
spread as other manure, and there would
be double the amount of it.
1t is a good plan to have the stable
floors as nearly water-tight as possible,
in order to keep the liquid part of the
manure where it can be absorbed by the
bedding or dipped up and turned over
the pile.

An Ill Wind.

While bee-keepers at the North are
agitating for legislation against the
spraying of fruit trees with arsenites
during the poisoning season as pro-
lection against fruit-injuring insects,
sportsmen at the South appear to have
an equally valid cause for legislation
against the use of paris green by cotton
planters for the destruction of the cotton
worm. Complaints come from many
quarters that the liberal use of this
arsenite has been playing havoc with
the game birds, which fed upon the
poisoned worms, of which they are very
fond. Partridges and prairie chickens,
which were very numerous in many
regions, have, it is said, been nearly all
destroyed. Whole focks having been
found dead in many places. There Is
danger that unless the worms are saved
from the poison the sportsman's occu-
patton will soon be gone in wide areas.

hogs are to be scraped. The bottom Of
the notch or fork should be about six
feet from the ground. In this must lie
long, heavy pole, notched to keep it
from slipping where it lies on the post,
four feet from its largest end. At the

Che gambrel. ALI this is quickly done,
and often answers as we'll as a windlass,
for the heaviest hog can be hung up with
ease by raising the long end and slip
ping the short, notched end under the
gambrel stick. Where more than one
hog is to be raised more levers will have
to be provided, unless the pork can be
lowered on to stationary pole, as the
pork must remain suspended awhile to
cool.

face that attracted Muriel Trowbridge to
his side as more than a friend on her
first visit to Folly Mill farm.
But that was years ago, and tonight
chat almost feminine sweetness had
been transformed into an expression in
dicating heartache.
1t hadn't all come about just tonight,
but this evening it seemed that the
acme of sad disappointment had been
reached.
John looked at his face as reflected in
the mirror and strange, yearning ques-
tioning came into the misty gray eyes
inyoluntarily.
''Yes," he said, slowly, as if in an
swer, 81 am growing old; there's tinge
Of gray already in my hair, and am
only thirty-eight. 1t is not always years
that weigh one down."
That was as far as John Anderson
generally went along this line of solilo-
guy. The unspoken surged back to his
heart, where the altar fires burned
steadily to shatte red idols.
To be sure he had never loved but
this once, yet it would be the last, for
no other image should ever be placed
on the pedestal sacred to her memory.
Mysteriously and in an unexplain-
able manner she had gone out of his
life on Thanksgiving night some four
years previous; but he kept the light of
hope burning in the windows of his soul
for her return, for Muriel was Muriel
still
Sister Bessie had no patience with his
s'moping;'' but then he thought she had
never had such experiences, and that
accounted for her lack of sympathy.
The broad acres of Folly Mill farm be-
longed to the twain; but the pleasant,
roomy villa seemed so lonely now since
that memorable summer.
1t didn't seem a great while ago, yet
the years had drifted away and now to-
morrow would be another anniversary.
1t would be vastly different, how
ever, from that one when parlor and
hall were filled with merry groups, and
the long tables were set in the great
dining-room to hold the display of
Bessie's Thanksgiving dinner.
r And what chattering there was! He
should always remember it, and how
happy he was with her so near and dear
to him.
Tomorrow they would come home
from services in the old white chapel
just below the farm, and eat their dinner
in the little breakfast-room adjoining
the kitchen-he and Bess-solitary and
alone; would it be Thanksgiving?
John shut his lips tightly and the
lines of patient suffering deepened
about his mouth.

voice John Anderson had ever seen.
And on the Thanksgiving Day before
she went away they had walked across
the brown and wind-swept MEADOWS
together and talked of friends and
friendships, and she had grown quite
serious, for as he talked he felt her
hand tremble on his arm and noted the
changing color on her fair face.
In the cold, dull cleaning he had left
her at her uncle's door with his first
warm, passionate kiss on her lips, but he
had never seen her since. And was it
not curious that he could thus drop out
OF her life and she not mind? John re-
membered how happy they both were
that night, and felt that it was
