HORSES AT REST.

There are some curious facts about the
disposition of horses to lie down, says the
Horse and Stable. To a hard working
horse repose is almost as great necessity
as good food, but tired as he may be, he
is very often shy about lying down, even
when clean, nice bed of straw is pro-
vidcd for him. The writer once rode
mare seventy MES in a single day. The
stable in which she was put for the night
was as comfortable in every way as 1t
could be made. yet she stood the whole
night through. She ate her oats and hay
and then went to sleep, leaning forward
with her breast against the manager.
There are horses that have never been seen
to lie down, and if they have ever done
so it was only for short time, and at an
hour when they were not likely to be
seen. No marks have ever been dis
covered on their coats which would IN
dictate that they had been lying down.
A horse is recalled now that occupied for
fifteen years, from the time he was two
years old, the first stall in grandfather's
stable Up to the hour he died no one
had ever seen him lying down, and several
times after wearisome drives of eight or
ten hours, watch was placed on him to
see if during the night he would lie down;
but he was never caught in that position,
and he could not be tempted to recline by
the sweetest and cleanest of bedding. He
died literally upon his feet. He was
taken sick, and in giving him drench
from q long necked bottle, with his head
pulled up to beam, he suddenly fell back
and expired.
Unless horse lies down regularly his
rest cannot be complete, and his joints
and sinews stiffen; and while it is true
that some horses that sleep in a standing
position continue to work for many years,
it is equally true that they would continue
to work for many years longer, and per
form their work much better, if they
rested naturally. Young horses from
country stable may refuse to lie down
when put into stable in town, and the
habit may become confirmed unless in
ducements are offered. Horses can be
taught to lie down, and they can also be
taught to be as neat and clearly in their
habits as an individual.
It is verJ rare ching for horses afflicted
with disease that superinduees fever to
lie down; they will stand up until nature
becomes completely exhausted and their
limbs refuse to sustain them. They have
an instinct which teaches them that if
they lie down it may be difficult for them
TO get upon their feet again.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Silage is partial substitute for green
grass.
Silage may be made an efficient ally of
or good substitute for soiling crops.
1t is no sign that hen meditates evil
to her owner simply because she lays for
him.
Be sure and set out some fruit-a few
berries at least-and how about the cur
rants and grapes?
The first eggs from pullets should not
be used for Matching if hens eggs can be
had conveniently.
Some who keep cattle up in summer say
that silage is even more valuable in sum-
mer than in winter.
A lath fence is the first thing to plant
for a farmers garden. 1t will pay the
best of any one crop he can put in.
The common school is the farmers col
lege, and the parents ought to visit the
schools and be interested in their work.
The persimmon is naturally slow
grower, and although plenty of fertilizer
is given, they seem to grow only just about
so much.
Farmers are not putting business method
enough into their work. They must make
their brains do little more and their
hands a little less.
If you have any mongrel cocks or those
from which you do not wish to breed, get
rid of them at once. It is a needless ex-
pense to feed them.
An important advantage resulting from
the use of ensilage all the year is, that
manure made from it is available for use
not scattered at random over the farm.
A COW should never be idle more than
six weeks at one time. She will last
longer and earn more than cow kept the
usual way-milked seven months, hall
fed and idle five.
In selecting fertilizers remember that
gypsum, or land plaster, is cheap and
valuable form of plant food. It is es-
pecially valuable for mixing with hen
manure, ashes and compost.
Among the latest notable features of
the poultry business is that of Matching
ducks by incubator and fattening them
for early market. It is claimed to be
very remunerative business.
Have no fear of feeding potatoes to
COWS giving milk, but be careful about
feeding them a few weeks before time of
calving, for they stimulate milk produc-
tion and at that period may cause garget.

COVERING CORN,

When the ground is dry, corn requires
Il heavier and dirmer covering. 1t is
sometimes said that the later the planting
the heavier and tirmer should be the
covering; but this is true only so far as
it holds good that the later in the season
the drier the ground. Sometimes the ground
contains more moisture in May than IN
April: then the May covering should be
the lighter and looser. Generally, how
ever, toward the close of the planting
season the ground has lost so much
moisture that not only should the cover
ing be heavy, but it may well be COM
pacted by a stroke with the hoe or even
by tramping upon it. If the planting is

fact, if the grounds unusually dry. it is

the stage where the displacement of the
earth by the roller will prove injurious to
the corn, while this displacement will

If, on the other hand, the ground is
damp, as it is most likely to be early in

the covering should not be contacted
with the hoe or foot. If the planting is

CoTToN-sEED MEAL FOR COWS.

The agricultural department at Wash
ington has been making an analysis o.
butter from COWS ced on cotton seed meal,
which produces unlooked-for results. The
analysis showed remarkable points: 1. A
low percentage of vegetable acids. 2. A
phenomenally high melting point. 3. a
strong persistence Of the reducing agent.
The first point is of Importance as show
ing that mixing cotton seed with the feed
of COWS in the South will tend to raise
the melting point of butter, thus render
ing il more suitable for consumption in
hot climates. Professor Wiley says !:
@FF7om an analytic point of view the re-
suits are of great Importance, since they
show that butter derived from COW fed
on cotton seed meal might be condemned
as adulterated when judged by the amount
of volatile acids present. Since cotton
seed meal is destined to be a cattle food
of great Importance, especially in 5hc
southern part of the United States, this
Is a fact of the greatest interest. ''-Cna-

Mice make serious work among corn

are themselves worse than the vermin they

WATER FOR BEES.

Persons owning bees and not located
near streams of water should furnish chem
fresh water daily, as it will save time
which, to the bee, means honey, as it
means money to person. The way
they frequent wells and cisterns shows
that they prefer water fresh to stale, and
they appear to enjoy slipping it from
gravel and sand. l have used milk
crooks filled with gravel and sand, but,
on the whole, prefer wooden kegs with
cloth put in them, hanging over the sides,
acting as syphons. The bees sip water
from the sunny side of the kegs. The
kegs should be washed out frequently
and one should be little brackish, about

pretend to know doctors really know is a very
interesting one
They possess exceptionally great facilities
for hun1bagging, and the presumption Is that
they are not proof in most cases, at all times
at least, against temptation to make use OF
them. Their profession comes as near being
an eSoteric one as any that Is acknowledged
TO be respectable But the revelation as TO
their views m the Robinson aT-seRlcal poison
ing cases in Boston is startling
There were five deaths from the drug, and
the doctors in their certificates attributed
them respectively to pneumonia, typhoid
fever, meningitis bowel disease and Brights
disease of the kidneys. The truth would have
never been known but for Szspicions with
which the doctors had nothing to do. There
is food here for rehection-and for doctors
The above criticism is fully warranted by
the startling ignorance shown by the attend
ing physicians in the SomervIlle cases
1t can be aptly said that human life is too
often sacrificed to the ignorance and blgotry
of the profession.
Too often it happens that fatal results fol-
low an improper course or Teatment-the
phTsician treats the patient for consumption,
ger erl debility or for nervous disorders
whilst the real disease, which is slowly de-
stroying the kidneys and filling the system
with poison quite deadly arsenic, Is
altogether overlooked or does not attract at
tention until too late.
Physicians too often treat the symptoms of
disease instead of the disease itself
1t is well established that four-ffths Of the
ordinary ills which beSet humanity are the
results of disease in the kidneys which will
yield to the curative properties Of Warmers
Safe Cure if timely used and to it alone.
What is apparently disease in the other
organs is more oftentimes mere symptom of
kidney disease. which should be quickly
eradicated by Warmers Safe Cure before it
secures too firm hold on those organs

SMUT OF OATS.

The smut of oats-said by a Manches-
ter, (Mich.) inquirer to be very badly in
FURIOUS throughout-is caused by the
fungus (Ustilago segetum) which feeds on
the panicles, and develops a great guam
tity of dark brown spores These are
waited about by wind, and if they fall
upon other oat plants under the proper
condition smut will again be produced.
As a preventive, it is well to practise ro-
tatiOn, and never raise two oat crops in
succession on the same land. The seed
used should be plump, well filled and free
from smutted kernels. 1t is common
practice in some sections to soak the seed
for thirty-six hours in one.pound of cop
per sulphate, dissolved in four gallons of
water; this destroys any adhering spores,
and will greatly lessen, and perhaps pre-
vent, attack of the smut. A solution of
one pound caustic potash in six gallons of
water is thought to be as effectual, and
it requires only half the time of soaking.
On being taken out of the solution the
seed should be rolled in ashes, lime or
plaster. When once established on the
plants no application can avail.-Neao
