FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Put the trusty team to the mower.
Forethought is one good harvest hand.
1t is highly cxtravagant to use low
priced mower oil.
Keep the little chicks cooped up until
the dew is of the grass.
Twelve hours with system harvests
more than sixteen hours without.
Do not feed fowls on corn alone, nor
fail to provide clean grit to help digest
the corn.
There is no luck in leisure in harvest
ing; procrastination is the thief of grain
and grass.
Many a vigorous, fruitful tree owes its
existence to muach ut this season, when
it was young.
Beauty always attracts, and it is not
dishonest to send clean, bright berries and
fruits to market.
Cutworms do not like buckwheat,
according to Orchard and Garden, and
may be driven off the field or starved out
by planting it with that crop.
Affection cannot be pounded into
animals. Kind treatment insures the
affection of an animal, while rough treat
ment is sure to cause its hatred.
Poultry farming conducted with sys-
tenn and managed in business like man
ncr should pay well, the profits being con-
siderably increased by growing food on
the farm.
Ntulching with anything is regarded rs
favorable to plant growth by many pco-
pie, and the benefit is of course increased
| when the mulch itself has fcrtiizing
properties.
After turkeys are ten days old, they
may be turned out every morning after the
dew has disappeared from the grass, and
may remain out all day if the weather is
warm and bright.
! The temperature of water for horses is
not 50 much Of an object as the purity Of
it. While it is best to have the water
cool. it is more important to have it free
from all impurities.
Animals Of vicious habits should never
be used for breeding purposes, rs vices
are transmitted. BY careful breeding in
this respect, the dispositions Of the ami
mails can be partially controlled.
