Care of Cattle.

There is no economy in keeping cattle
in the pasture now; even where there Is
considerable grass it has been frostbit-
ten, and has lost its nutritive power. 1t
may "help to fill up" as the farmer said
who mixed sawdust with his meal for
his fattening hogs, but it does not assist
much in making either flesh or milk.
In the moving fields there is not likely
to be any more grass now than will be
needed TO keep the roots from winter
killing. and all that is fed off this month
if likely to come out OF next years hay
crop. Fodder corn, millet and green
oats are so easily grown that a farmer
has no excuse for be .ng short of forage
to winter his stock, If they are put in
the barn as soon as cold weather begins.
A little exercise each day in yard where
the sun can shine and the wind cannot
blow upon them may be beneficial 10
them, but they are better off ana can be
kept much cheaper under cover than
they can when exposed to cold winds
and storms. This is as true of young
animals as of mich COWS.
Crowd all the grain for the fattenirg
stock that they can be made to eat, and
keep close watch TO see whether they
ale gaining flesh fast enough 10 pay for
it or not. Many farmers kill their fat
cattle and swine just when they are
making the greatest number of pounds
of meat for the bushel of grain, partly
because the gain does not show as
plainly after the animal is pretty we'll
fattened, and partly because the amount
of grain eaten grows larger as the animal
increases and the cooler weather comes
on. If such farmers could have scales
upon which they could weigh their ami
mails each week, they could easily ascer-
tain whether the pounds gained were
more than paying for the grain or not.
Of course other considerations may
make early Strengthening desirable, such
as the prospect Of the meat being lower
in price later in the season, when stock
is brought forward from the West, or if
the meat is for home use, dislike to
have it too fat. And a low price for
taIlow may make a very fat beeve
sell comparatively lower than one mod
erately fat. OF these things the farmer
can Judge for himself, but he must also
remember that poorly fattened OK will
shrink forty-tive to fifty per cent. from
the live weight, and a very fat one
thirty-ive per cent. or less, so that every
pound of gain made now is nearly so
many pounds of merChantable beef.

Planting Seed by Artillery.

Alexander Nasmyth, the landscape
painter, was man fruitful in expedients.
His son relates the following example OF
his ingenuity: The Duke of Athol con-
suited him as to some Improvements
which he desired to make in his wood
land scenery near Dunkeld. Among
other things, certain rocky crag needed
to be planted with trees, to relieve the
grim barrenness of its appearance. The
question was how to do it, as it was i'm
possible for any man to climb the crag
in order to set seed or plants in the clefts
of the rock. A happy idea struck my
father. Having observed in front of the
castle pair of small cannon, used for
firing sautes on great days, it occurred
to him to turn them to account. A tin
smith in the village was ordered to make
a number of canisters with covers. The
canisters were filled with all sorts
of suitable tree seeds. The can
non was loaded and the canisters
were fired up against the high face of
the rock. They burst and scattered the
seed in all directions Some years after,
when my father revisited the place, he
was delighted to find that his scheme of
planting by artillery had proved COM
pletely successful; the trees were -four
fishing luxuriantly in all the recesses Of
the cliff.-Arg0naut.

THE MILLwHEEL SONG.

Round and round the mill wheel goes,
From early morn till night:
The mill-stream turns it as it flows,
And then runs out OF sight.
But there the old mill wheel remains,
And lets the mill-stream run,
And if it shines, or if it rains,
It sings, at set of sun:
Drip, drip, drip. drip, drip, drip. drip,
Many a wave from off of me will bear gal
liant ship!
Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip,
But for me the miller in the tavern could not
sip:
Round and round / cannot go
When the bleak winter comes,
And wind and snow do bravely blow;
And when the brown bee huns,
Ihear the children laugh and play,
hear the cracking corn.
And merrily, all through the day,
The gay wind blows his horn:
Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn. turn, turn,
/ make the fires in the cots upon the hillside
burn!
Turn, turn, turn, turn. turn, turn, turn,
When man is older than the world he need
not live to learn.
Round and round gaily turn
From spring till autumn flies;
Ny humble role do not spurn,
Nor pass my life in signs.
do the very best can,
And try to be content
And, since my modest life began,
I've sung, when day was spent:
Swish, swish, swish swish, swish, swish
swish,
clothe the good wives children and fill the
good wives dish!
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish
swish,
The corn | crack pays for the good wives
meat and bread and fish,
Round and round [ do not pass
When long days go to sleep;
Not when the lads have each lass,
AS down the road they creep!
sometimes catch the whispers low,
And sometimes catch kiss,
AS by the old red mill they go
Next day sing like this:
Dash, dash, dash, dash, dash, dash, DASH
Gayly now 1 turn the yellow corn to yellow
cash!
Dash, dash, dash, DASH dash, dash, dash,
Just listen to the song l sing as waters from
me splash!

WHITE AGAINST RED

Directly following the close of the
Indian campaign in which the gallant
Custer lost his life, there was a year of
dangerous peace on the frontiers. [
mean by that that while the redskins
were supposed to have been thrashed
into submission, and while they were
apparently at peace, they lost no oppor-
tunty to murder helpless people. The
whites were bound by honor to observe
the peace and to trust them to a certain
limit, and, knowing this, the more dis
satisfied bucks took every advantage.
was still in the employ of the Gov
eminent as a scout and rider, and it was
my luck to bring about The capture Of
four bucks who were guilty of murder
ing an old man. They were awaiting
trial, when a young warrior named
Black Serpent, who was the son of
one Of the arrested men, sent me
word that he would have nv
life i'll revenge. | was stationed
at Fort Hays, and he sent word in bv a
trader. Black Serpent was an Apache,
and was described to me as being about
twenty-threc years of age. strong, feet,
and as cunning as fox. I d d not
know him by sight, while he doubtless
had the advantage of knowing me. In
two or three instances when such mes
sages have been brought in they were
accompanied by the further information
that the sender would be at a certain
place at a certa n hour. The recipient
had his choice to show up and kill or be
killed in fair exchange of shots, or re-,
turn the message in contempt, and take
his chances Of being assasslnated. Black
Serpent gave me no alternative. He
meant to catch me I my guard and kill
me.
While it wasn't very pleasant to have
such threat hanging over a man, / did
not worry much about it. Indeed, it
was the habit Of every scout to take all
possible precautions anyhow. l simply
felt that had the rioht, he having sent
me the message, to shoot the young buck
on sight, and as for what he was going
to do, left that all to him.
About a week later l was called upon
to make a ride of about seventy miles to
camp on the Smoky Hill stage route,
and as ] was ready to set out several of
my friends came to me and cautioned me
to look out for Black Serpent, who had
been seen the day before about ten miles
from the fort and directly on the route |
should travel. According to the terms
OF surrender he should have been under
supervision at the agency, dishorsed and
disarmed, but here he was, gallopin g
about on war pony, armed with a Win
chester and navy revolver, and lying
in wait to do murder. l was as ready as
| could be to encounter him. | had the
same firearms and splendid horse, and
unless he ambushed me he would have
no odds in his favor.
So far as animal cunning goes the
American Indian has no superior on
earth. He is quick of car and vision,
keen to take in situation, and he
reasons pretty we'll up to a certain
point. Novelists have, however, ele-
waited him too high. A white man who
has been trained in the Indian country

just as fast, shoot better, go without

ApODIexy in Swine.

Apoplexy is usually disease of fat
hogs, although an animal that has lon q
been thin or suffering from excessive
irritation of the intestinal canal would
also be predisposed to it. 1t must be
understood that the process of fattenine
an animal in a few weeks DESTROYS the
equilibrium of the system, and in one
sense the fairness is in itself disease. The
storing up of fat in the animal economy
is always at the expense of muscular de-
velopment. The muscles become weak
and tiabby. ALI the blood vessels of the
system are surrounded by strong,
tough, muscular coat, that in a state Of
perfect health will resist any force that
the hearts action can put upon these
canals. But the fattening process weak
ems these fibers; a sudden or unusual
strain ruptures one in the brain, and we
call it apoplexy. 1t is not as common
IN the hog as one would expect, but oc-
ours so often that the breeder should
understand it and know the right thing
to do. 1t is impossible to foresee when
this is going to occur. If the rupture IS
a very small one, when the blood is
oozing out in tiny drops, the hog will
sometimes be found lying insensible and
breathing heavily. No effort will arouse
it. 1t is more usual to find a big, fat
hog lying dead, with no external marks
Or signs of the cause of death. Cut
open the skull carefully, and a clot of
blood of greater or less extent will be
found inside. If alive, however, tie a
stout cord above the knee, and with a
stick take a twist N the cord, until on
the inner side of the leg below the knee
the braehial brain can be felt. Open it
with sharp-pointed knife, and if the
blood will run take pint and half or
3 quart. Don't guess at it. An ounce

Farm and Garden Notes.

Ventilate the churn sufficiently.
Rinse all dairy utensils in cold water.
Have you got up good pile of wood'
Feed that that you expect to feed
you.
Corn alone is a poor food-ration for any
animal.
The high cranberry is recommended
as an ornamental shrub.
Give your hens a variety of food;
change will be found beneficial.
Do not feed raw corn meal dough to a
sick fowl. Let it be steamed or scalded.
Every farmer should keep few sheep,
not for the wool alone, but for good
mutton.
While many approve, there are those
who, after trial, are opposed to the
practice of dehorning cattle.
Much good feed is wasted because of
improper feeding; with a proper food
ration, there is practically no loss.
Give your stock good coat of fat.
Give your land good coat of manure.
Give your implements a good coat Of
paint.
Swiss cattle, imported into this coun-
try and scattered in small herds here and
there, are said to be giving satisfaction

Curryinc and Brushing Horses.

It is quite true that horses will live
without the use of the currycomb and
brush, but they will live and do much
better with it. The skin of any animal
is continually exuding matter of various
kinds-the waste of the system and the
dead surface, which is always being re
placed by new growth. This must be
removed in some way, and in its natural
condition the horse rolls and ruSs itself,
and as we'll as it can gets rid of the exu-
dation from it's sKln. A dOme>t;Cated
horse has not these opportunities, and
the owner must afford a substitute, which
is best done by the currycomb and a
stiff brush. A clean, slick coated horse
is always in healthy condition, and the
skin is very satisfactory indication of
the health of the horse. A horse that is
working should be thoroughly cleaned
both morning and night by means of a
card or curlycomb and stiff BRUSH

Deep Soil For Potatoes.

In relation to deep soil for potatoes,
the Country Gentiemnn says: Potatoes
and corn differ in one important par
ticular. A severe drouth of temporary
continuance, causing the leaves of corn
to wither, does not seriously Affect the
amount of the crop, while it may greatly
reduce potatoes. Corn planted on in
verted sod, plowed only five or six
inches deep, will yield more than on a
seven or eight-inch sod. On the con-
trary, potatoes are best On deep soil.
We have known sub-soiling to increase
the potato crop over thirty per cent as
compared with contiguous land not sub
soi.ed. A row of potatoes over a filled
ditch yielded double the rows in other
part of the field. The roots of potatoes
run deeper than those of corn. Potatoes
require a continued supply of moist,
ture. and deep soil will drink in a
copious rain and give it out to the crop
in time of drouth.

CannibaI Two-Winred Flies.

The Larvae of certain insects are bene-
fetal to man, because of their habit of
feeding upon the bodies of, and the eby
causing the death of their hosts. Of
these beneficial cannibals there are two
classes, one of which deposits its eggs in
or upon the body of it's victim, where it
matches, and the larva feeds upon the
living tissues of it's victim the other
catches its prey and devours it piece
meal, or sucks its juices out and casts
the more solid portion aside.
To this latter class belong the Larvae of
certain two winged flies of the Surplus
family. The adult flies closely resemb BILE
bees in their color, and indeed, in some
parts of the country they are called
''sweat bees" by the boys Their Larvae are
particularly fond of plant-lice, and few
sights are more interesting than to see the
footless maggot carefully cropping about
until within reach of its victim. when it
stretches out its pointed head, pierces
the louise, and, holding it aloft, sucks out
the Juices from its plump body and casts
the cal cass to the winds.
A species of these Larvae destroys the
apple-root louise; another attacks the
louise found on the apple leaves; others
attack the lice found on various other
plants. The Larvae of Surplus ribesii
have been known to clear the plum tree
of the lice peculiar to it. When the lice
have caused the leaves to curl so as to
prevent the insecticides that may be ap-
piled to the tree from reaching them,
these larvse are particularly useful in
following them into such strongholds
and completely clearing them out
