SORE FEET.

The effect of the wet of clover pasture
may be injurious to the feet of colt,
causing the skin to become sore and
crack, and this effect will be helped by
the clover, which is rich feeding, and re-
quires some carbonaceous matter to be
given with it. A mixture of coarsely-
cracked corn, with an equal quantity of
linseed, or dose of a pint of raw linseed
oil with as much molasses given twice in
a week will be serviceable. Apply to
the sores some of the following ointment
spread on cloth and secured by ban
dage: Mix four ounces of pure flesh lard
or unsalted fresh butter with one ounce
of turpentine and half an ounce of acetate
OF copper; keep this in a glass jar aud
use 1t fresh once day. Before applying
1t wash the feet with warm water and

ject to this trouble.

the making of large quantity of manure.
AS the cows are stabbed more or less
every day in the year, and for the other
time are kept in yard, every particle of
manure made, solid and liquid can be
saved, and very large quantity of litter
can be worked up into compost In this
way, by the use of leaves gathered from
wood lot cleared of brush SO that a
horse rake can be used to gather them,
with dry swamp grass and other materials
bne COW in the year can be made to furnish
10 loads of excellent manure, and the
land be kept in the highest state of fcrti-
ity. There is no chance for weeds when
land is plowed and cropped three times
in year, and the result is that the soil
is brought up to the most productive con-
dition. With ensilage, which with this
system affords succuent green fodder the
year round, it is possible to bring up the
average yield of herd of good cows to
300 pounds of butter in the year. Asa
COW under this system can be kept for an
actual cost of less than $2O year, the
profit is cvident.-NcO York Times.

FRUITFUL ROADSIDE

Galen Wilson says in the New York
Tribune: Maple, elm and ash are favorite
roadside trees since the Lombardy poplar
was discarded; but almost everywhere
people have fallen into the error of plant
ing too thickly and permitting them to
grow too tall, so that they shade the
highway continuously. In wet season
the roads are thereby kept muddy all the
time, the sun having no opportunity to
dry them, and it is a relief to get away
where there are no trees but better travel
ing. This should not be. In view from
my window is reach of east and west
road, and on the south side of it is a
row of cherry trees thirty feet high and
several rods apart, just the right distance
to serve as posts for wire fence. These
trees answer fourfold purpose.
They supply sufficient shade without
keeping the road muddy; increase the
beauty of the landscape as much as any
trees can; make excellent living posAkttt
support fence wires; and theytare lust

CURING CHEESE.

DR.. Reynolds, of Maine, observes that
in curing cheese certain requisites are in
dlspensable in order to attain the best
results. Free exposure to air is one
requisite for the development of flavor.
Curd sealed up in an air-tight vessel and
kept at the proper temperature readily
breaks down into a soft, rich, ripe cheese,
but it has none of the flavor so much es-
teemed in good cheese. Exposure to
the oxygen of the air develops flavor.
The cheese during the process of curing
takes its oxygen and gives off carbonic
acid gas. He also says that the devclop-
ment of flavor can be fastened by sub
jecting the cheese to strong current of
air. The flavor is developed by the pro-
cess of oxidation. If the cheese is kent in
too close air during the process of curing,
it will be likely to prove deficient in
flavor.

A SIMPLE MARKER.

A very convenient, accurate and cx-
peditlous way of marking ground for
planting, either in drills or check rows,
is with chain marker. This system of
marking has been in vogue in our neigh
borhood for the last forty years, in Lake
Ccmto, Chic, anu is adhered to by all who
have tried it. The marker consists of
pole of some light wood of any desired
length, into which fence or other staples
are driven at such distances apart as it is
desired to plant the rows. To those
staples are attached pieces of rope three
feet long, and to the rope farm chains of
the same length. The outer ends of the
chains should be equally distant from the
pole and not more than six and half
feet, so that when the po is raised as
high as the men using it can reach they
Will hang perpendicularly. Now start
correctly. Such a marker if properly
made is light and easily handled by two
persons, the one who guides walking
directly in front of an end chain. On
fine soil, if lumpy, use the plank crusher
or rubber, and the chain mark will show
plainly for days.-H. G. Iryon.

CULTIVATE YOUR MEADOWS


There is no part of the farm at the
present day so much neglected as the
meadow, says a writer in the Farm, Field
and Stochman. The general idea of the
farmer is that the meadow does not re-
quire any cultivation or care. "Thc
meadow, he says, ''is all right. fseeded
this field two or three years ago; but
cannot see why get so light a crop"
1t Is quite plain you have been robbing
the land for three years and returning
nothing. Worse than that you allowed
the moss to creep in and smoother the
roots which you have robbed of their
natural sustenance without returning any
thing to them or driving off the moss
from the rOot-bound grass.
What kind of n corn crop would Won
get if you did not cultivate it2 TO in
sure big crop Of hay cultivate 1t. Haul
during the winter months, six or eight
loads to the acre of barnyard manure and
spread 1t while hauling as evenly as you
can with a fork. Then as early MS YOU
can get on the meadow in March, or rs
soon as the frost is out and the ground
dry enough to get on with team, take a
good harrow and and drag it thoroughly,
and then cross-harrow it, then roll the
meadow with common field roller. You
will imagine you are going to ruin your
meadow, but you are simply looscning the
roots and giving them chance and when
harvest time comes you will find you not
only did not injure your meadow, but
greatly increased your crop of grass, and
also improved your ground.
This matter of cultivating grass is not
mere "theory." 1t is principle,
proved to be correct by actual trial with
profitable results. In 1882 Josiah Bagley,
of Serena, from six-acre meadow took
twelve loads of hay, with no after crop.
The following season he manured and
cultivated the same six acres substanti,
ally as outlined above. Some of his
neighbors laughed at him; but about the
10th of July, 1888, he cut nineteen loads
of grass from these six acres, and in the
last of September cut second crop of
nine loads. He says: "I am an advo-
cate of cultivatipg grass"

BONES FOR aRAPE-yINEs.

To cause grapc-vines to grow most Wig
orously throw few bones into the hole
when planting out. Oyster shells are also
good for the same purpose, and may be
mixed with the bones to advantage.
Therefore don't waste any bones or shells,
but utilize them in the manner suggested
II you plant any vines. In case YOU have
grape-vines growing bury the bones near
them, or reduce the bones to ashes and
apply the latter to the vines of the vege-
table garden. 1t will pay good dividends
better than ordinary bank or railroad

THICK OR THIN SEEDING.


Mr.. Dudley w. Adams, Orange County.
Florida, WIRES us as follows concerning
recent article in the american 1gri-
c"tturist: professor Blout says rich
land requires less seed than poor. Why,
Professor2 In Florida we have some very
poor, as well as some very rich land. On
poor land three pecks of oats sown per
acre will produce o fair crop. If three
bushels per acre arc sown the crop will
never head out. The largest crop of
wheat ever grew while living i'm Iowa
was produced from less than two pecks
of seed per acre. That was on rich land
The Professor is quite correct when he
says: The greatest enemy to the success
full termination and healthy growth of
the wheat plant is wheat and in a long
experience have invariably found that
the poorer the soil the greater the dam
age from crowding. On a rich soil a
thin seeding will tiller and make the
plants thick enough for maximum crop.
On poor land thin seeding will not tiller,
so there will be fair heads on the few
stalks, but if by thick seeding the num-
ber of stalks is increased, the size of
heads will diminish more than the num-
Der will increase"
The question and remarks having been
submitted by use to Professor A. f.
Blout, he replies as follows:
erich land requires less seed than
poor. 'Why2' asks your Florida cores
pondent. Because, wheat, oats, ETC.,
have characteristics peculiar to them
selves, which, if not favored, prevent
the plant from making successful
growth and yield. Tillcring is one char
acteristic-and very important one, too.
a single wheat plant requires space and
sunlight to carry out this habit, or it
will, like poor, crowded people, become
weak, impotcnt, and unproductive of
good results.
GOOD wheat land---not alluvial soils,
or soils heavily stimulates
termination and an early growth, mas
much that the plants power is shown in
the stooling or multiplication of many
stalks from one grain Poor land fails
very manifestly in these two most i'm
portant and mechanical operations. It
neither stimulates termination nor early
growth, but merely acts as reservoir
to hold and supply the grain with mois-
,tITe, while the atmosphere imperfectly
does its share toward the DEVELOPMENT.
The 'happy medium in both richness of
soh and amount of seed necessary to
produce a crop of good quality and quan-
tity pYSt h carefully considered by the

come home, take it off the bcsDb and
throw it on peg or a barrel, as the case
may be. After the first season IL is put to
general use. 1t soon becomes dry, hard,
brown and stiff, and then breaks, in half
the time it would had it been cared for
properly. Speaking of this way of using
harness, writer in the Western Lirerp-
man says:
A harness that has been on horses
back several hours in hot or rainy weather
becomes wet, and If not properly cleaned,
the damage to the leather is irreparable.
II, after being taken from tho horse in
this condition, It is hung up in a careless
manner, traces and reins twisted into
knots, and the saddle and bride hung
askew, the leather when dried remains the
shape given it while wet, and when forced
into its original form damage is done to
the stitching and the leather. The first
point to be observed is to keep the leather
soft and pliable. This can be done only
by keeping it well charged with oil and
grease; water is the destroyer of these,
but mud and saline moisture from the
animal are even more destructive. Mud,
in drying, absorbs the grease and opens
the pores of the leather, making it prey
to water, while the salty character of the
perspiration from the animal Injuries the
leather, stitching and mountings
1t therefore follows that to preserve a
harness the straps should be washed aud
oiled whenever it has been moistcned by
mud. If a harness is thoroughly cleaned
twice year, and when unduly exposed
treated as we we have recommended, the
leather will retain its softness and strength
for many years.
