HOUSEHOLD AND FARM.

ducts are disposed Of eggs and early
broilers in the spring and summer are in
the aggregate quite an item, and may
furnish all the store supplies needed We
have always maintained that the farm,
ing class have facilities and advantages
over the ordinary village poulterer in the
way of range and keeping them cheaply
at all seasons OF the year.
1t costs very little to keep a flock OF
fowls on the farm. They usually provide
the greatest share of their own living
from the stable, the orchard, the etubble
field, and the straw stack. The grain and
seed which they pick up, if left untouched,
would be of no earthly use to the farmer;
and the grubs and insects which they
would destroy would injure the growing
crops, vines, fruit trees, etc., if the fowls
were kept In confinement or were moi
kept on the farm at all.

For SwELLED FEET.-Policem men, mail
carriers, and others whose occupation
keeps them on their feet great deal,
often are troubled with chafed, sore and
blistered feet, especially in extremely hot
weather, no matter how comfortably their
shoes may fit. A powder is used in the
German army for sitting into the shoes
and stockings of the foot soldiers, called
"Fusstreupulver,' and consists of three
parts salicylic acid, 10 parts starch, and
81 parts pulverized soa pstone. 1t keeps
the feet dry, prevents chafng, rapidly
heals sore spots. Flnely.pulverized soap

hens to drink lce-water, and then wonder
why they get no eggs. Warm drink this

Turnips and cabbage when fed to
milking cows should be given directly
after milking, in such quantity as they
will eat up at once clean, and no more
given till after the next milking; when
fed on such vegetables the milk should
be exposed to the air by leaving the cans
unsupported as much as possible. Par

A LARGE POULTRY FARM-One of the
largest poultry farms is owned by DR..
Burr OF Mass. His stock consists of 90
600 hens, 500 ducks, 500 turkeys, and
fifty geese. Situated near the sea coast,
the climate is warm and little now lies.
Shellfsh and gravel are plenty, the focks
are scattered and range over two hun
dred acres. The pillow and the cultivator
are Kept going to convert the Offensive
droppings into healthy green food
for the chicks. A brooding house to
hold 1000 safely is used in the spring
for broilers, and at the same time the
breeding stock for the coming season
is Matched and reared by hens in iso-
lated colonies. All unhealthy stock
is killed and all birds not up to the
standard go to market Though breed
ing standard birds, such as Light Brah-
mas, Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Hou-
dams, and brown Leghorns, Pekin and
Aylesbury ducks, Toulouse and Embden
geese, and Bronze turkeys, he has also
breeds for meat and eggs, but breeding
by the thousands, he has many fine
specimens which are sold at a handsome
profit.

COLTS Pay HANDSOMELY.

There is more money to be made from
colts, whether of the horse or mule kind,
than from any other farm animal A
threc-year-old colt will cost no more for
feeding than thrco-yc ar-oId steer, but
1T will frequently sell for twenty-five or
thirty cents per pound Of live weight
against two to four cents per pound for
the steer. So that il is well worth the
cost to rear colt well. This is the
season when the colts are arriving, and
the condition of the marc is the first
thing to think of. She must be well fed
and kept in>thrift and health. Overwork
is to be carefully avoided; frctting is to
be prevented by kind treatment and CON
sideratiol for her lactiferous condition.
And the colts should be equally well
looked after. A run in a grass field with
the dam and n months rest and good
feeding, with bran and oats for the latter,
will he the making Of the young thing
until 1t is able to cat little bran and n
few of the sweetest oats newly thrashed
for it. After that the food NAV be
gradually increased and that Of the mare
kept up TO supply n full yield of milk.
Exposure to hot sun or cold rains is to
be equally avoided for the sake of the
,olt.-Neao York Times.

sowED soRanuM A DELUsIoN.

Some Journals, especially at the West,
ire urging that sorghum be sown broad
cast for fodder, as corn sometimes is.
Time was, when n new soil was free from
weeds, sowed fodder would not be prema-
turely choked out. But Of late Western
lands cultivated few years become even
more weedy than well-tilled lands at the
East. The Western farmer cultivating
large areas grows the big kinds of corn,
ivowedly because they sooner outgrow
the weeds, aud thus need not be cult
vated so late. The consequence is that
weed seeds ripen by the million. Sorghum,
seed is small. Its first growth is much
slower than corn. About midsummer it
shoots forward rapidly, and will then out
grow corn, and be especially valuable in
lime of draught, as its roots run deeply.
But 1T needs cultivation, if not hoeing,
early IN the season or before midsummer,
or 1T Will be choked out by weeds. An
other reason for cultivation is to insure
space for the leaves to reach the sunlight.
Crowded together as it is apt to be when
sown, even if not overgrown with weeds.
the sorghum is not sweet. It's stalk is
hard TO be crushed, and is filed with n
poor, watery juice Of but little value for
feeding, and none whatever for the sugar
manufacturers. -B Boston Culticat0r.

REDUCING A HORSES spRArS.

To reduce inflammation caused by a
strain or bruise ON a horse there is nothing
better than cold water in summer, but in
winter warm lamentations are used in
stead. After the inflammation subsidies
and soreness has in part disappeared, the
application of liniments may be resorted
to with benefit. But no caustic, heating
or irritating solutions should be employed
until the inflammation in the injured parts
has Been reduced with either cold or warm
water. For garget in cows at this season
use cold water freely, even to covering or
inclosing the udder in a rubber bag filled
with water.-Nc,o York Sun.

than exceed it. The fowls are often left
