setting the fore feet out wide, sometimes

back as possible. Twelve quarts of good,
clean old oats, with twenty-one pounds of
good, clean old hay, with sprinkling of
salt, is sufficient ration for an ordinary
sized horse for one day. Beans are the
most muscle producing food given TO
horses. Horses in the habit of swallow
ing food without thoroughly masticating
can be cured by covering the bottom of
the feed-trough with loose stones about
the size of an egg.
Never offer unsolicited advice for the

If it RECEIVERS you have nothing to gain,

fore venturing to use or prescribe a

HINTS ABOUT HORSES.

Once during lifetime is all any man
need expect to be suited in a family horse.
Be kind but firm with the horse; petting
is as much out of place as abuse. Feed
the horse out of a trough placed on the
ground; this is not only the most natural
position, but it prevents the proper eleva-
tormuscles of the shoulder becoming rigid
and fixed, which by constant use of high
managers and tight refining is frequently
the case. How often do we see horses
worked in towns to heavy carts or light
carriages unable when turned out to grass
to get their heads to the ground without

PHOSPHATE FOR TURSTPs.

In England phosphate is not applied
to grain crops directly as here, but is
used on turnips, and these are fed off by
sheep on the land where the roots grow.
Sheep that have had some experience will
dig out the interior Of the turnip very
quickly, leaving the pungent peeIing on
the outside untouched, save where the
hole was made to get at the centre. In
this double working of the phosphate in
the roots and through the animals
Stomachs, it gains very considerably in
effective value for grain, and when eaten
by sheep is distributed quite evenly.
The animals are herded or confined in
small plots on the turnip field until the
roots are fully catcn.-NeoO York Vat

It is generally conceded that for the
best results in butter making, where 'he
milk IS set in deep cans, the milk should
be placed IN the crcamcr as nearly as pos
siblc at the temperature at which it is
drawn from the COW, there being con-
siderable loss Of fat in skim milk if the
milk is allowed to cool to any great ex-
tent before being set. OF late there has
been considerable controversy as to
whether it is advisable under any condi-
tons, to warm the milk before setting,
and as to the limit of temperature beyond
which it is not safe to go. Mr.. I. P.
Roberts concludes, as the result of invcs-
LEGATIONS at the College of Agriculture at
Cornell University, that first there is a
loss of butter when the milk is heated
there is no risk of injuring The quality of
the butter by incorporating in excess of
cascine, even when the milk is heated as
high as 135 degrecs.-Neao York IYor13

HOW TO PLANT LIMA BEANS.

It is almost a universal practice in New
Jersey to plant lima beans by thrilsting
them into the ground with the eye down
ward, farmers claiming that the bean is
not so likely to rot and the plants appear
earlier than when the seed is set
otherwise, The idea in planting lima
beans in this way probably originated in
some one observing that when a bean
sprouts both root and stem start from the
eye and the bean is lifted above ground
the two catyledons becoming the first
pair of leaves, usually called the seed
leaves This is true with all species and
varieties of the bean, while with peas,
which belong to the same family of plants,
the seeds remain in the ground or
below the surface when they throw up
a new shoot. We have always practised
planting lima beans the same way that
we do other kinds, that is, drop them
on the ground and cover them with a
hoe, and we have yet to discover that it
made any difference whether seed was
covered when lying on the side or set up
on its edge. Try row of limas next
year, planting each alternate hill in the
row different, and see if those with eyes
down succeed any better than those with
eyes up; or on the side, laying the bean
fiat-and covering with a hoe-NetO York

TIE BARN.

The man who goes about his barn with
pipe or cigar is recommended to take
out an insurance policy at once from one
of the old line companies. We recon-
mend the old line companies, in such case,
for two reasons: First, such ca. elessness
should be made to pay as high as posi-
BILE for its fun; and second, such man
ought not to impose upon his neighbors
who form the basis of the farmers mu-
tual companies. We saw a man not long
ago smoking while he was currying his
horse in the stable He said he had done
it for years and had not had fire yet.
1t is possible that q man might smoke in
a powder mill for years without causing
an explosion, but he would be very
reckless man who should attempt it. 1t
needs but spark among hay or straw to
burn down a barn with the probable loss
of all there is in it. Never do anything
which is likely to cause a fire. If a fire
in the barn does occur, there is one thing
that it is well to remember. Horses arc
frightened ''out of their wits" by fire.
You cannot lead horse from a burning
barn in the ordinary way: The best way
is to blindfold the animal. This may be
done by throwing a coat or blanket over
the head Western Rural.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
THE CRoP-BOUND FOWL.

The crop-bound fowl is not one which
has simply gorged itself with food, but
one which has the passage obstructed
through which the food passes from the
crop to the gizzard. A fowl never eats
more than it can digest, provided the
food can get into the digestive organs.
A fowl rarely swallows anything which
cannot easily pass into the gizzard. The
trouble is solely caused by the accumula-
ton of the food in quantities in the crop,
in which condition it becomes packed in
solid mass.-Farm, Field and Stock

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Stake the lima beans.
Is the strawberry bed clean?
Don't leave the Paris green around
loose.
Don't hill up the onions, level culture
is the best.
Don't leave the potatoes in the hot
sun after they are dug.
Keep the raspberries nipped back, and
don't let the weeds grow among the
bushes.
1t is fact that young pigs are often
overfed and hurt, sometimes killed, by
overlooking.
AS soon as a crop of vegetable is har
vested, clear off the ground and set out
late cabbage or celery.
Unleached ashes applied about the
plants and washed in by rains are said to
destroy the cabbage maggot.
Don't make the mistake of Overstock
ing the pasture and expect the stock to
come in in the fall in good shape.
Grass should be made the basis of our
pork. In grass include not only COM
mon pasture, but clover and green corn
stalks.
Likeall domestic animals, to be profit
able the hog must be we'll bred. The
scrub hog like the scrub steer is poor
property.
When young pigs are weaned they
should be fed in a shallow trough, from
which they can take their food only very
slowly.
AI,o no
A shield of lath woven together with an
nealed wire will answer; it will also pro-
tect from rabbits in winter. Q
Chop off the burdock shoots as fast as
they show above ground. Burdocks de-
light in plenty of food and rob the soil
for a considerable distance around them.
If you have no better use for the ground
from which you have taken the early
vegetables, SOW it to corn for fodder.
Where the crop is, there will be no
weeds.
In sowing turnips use care to scatter
the seed regularly and evenly. Don't
have big bare spots, then patches where
the plants are so close together they can
make no bottom.
Clean cultivation is the best remedy
for the root plant louise in the apple
orchard, says a Kansas orchardist.
Keep it up till the LIST of August, then
the scythe should be used to keep the
weeds down.
A few sods and a little COW manure
made into q heap now where you can
throw kitchen Stops, will make an excel
lent compost for your flower pots next
summer. But don't have the heap too
near the house.
If you want some nice crisp lettuce, or
fresh green peas when cool weather comes
again, SOW them now; use the early va
riety of peas. Sprout them slightly be-
fore sowing, by mixing them with fine
moist soil for a few days.
Anything in the nature Of I've will de-
stroy the apple tree borer, or the young
borers before they penetrate Tia bark
very far but after the borer is once I'M
der the bark, following it up with wire
is the only way to destroy it.
Massachusetts, PIoughnaa1a suggests that
in tomato blight or black rot rotating the
tomato with other crops may prove an al
vantage. as it is we'll known to be with
cabbages and turnips, which are subject
to the attack of disease called club-root
when repeatedly grown on the same land.
