WATERING THE STOCK.

Although some horses, unless very
thirsty, only drink small quantity each
time, they should have 1t all the more
punctually. They want that little just as
badly as the horse which drinks greater
quantity. Many horses like to take their
time to drink. They should be allowed
that time, and should never be hurried
away from the water, Give them all the
time they want.
Some horses are far more particular
about the quality Of the water they drink
than others. They drink only pure, cold
water with relish. Given any other
they will not drink heartily nor thrive SO
well. All horses, and indeed all kinds OF
stock, do the best when they have pure
water, and they should have 1t often.
Even the hog, that Is fed largely with
liquid food, should have Its drink of pure
water often.
Cows that drink impure water soon
show the effect in the quality of theil
milk. 1t is in dry, hot weather, and
during long, hot days, that this subject Is
most important to the farmer. When the
stock cease to thrive, the capital invested
in them ceases to bear interest. -Prairi,
Farmer.

A CURE For HOG CHOLERA.

A remedy for hog cholera given by the
Georgia Department of Agriculture is,
flowers of sulphur, sulphate of iron (cop-
peras) and madden, two pounds of each,
black anthony and nitrate of POTASH
(saltpetre), half q pound of each and two
ounces of arsenic. Mix this in ten gal
Ions of cruel for 100 hogs or give pint
dose to each hog daily. Give it to hogs
both sick and well where the latter have
been exposed. The sick must be sepa-
rated from the well animals and both
classes removed to new and clean quarters
or pastures. Burn the old beds and
sprinkle the floor of the sheds with So
luton of one pint of pure carbolic acid
to ten gallons of soft water. All dis
charges and impurities should be deeply
buried or treated with solution of one
ounce of chloride of zinc to two gallons
Of water. The persons attending the
sick animals should not have anything to
do with the well hogs, and all food and
water must be clean and pure. If these
directions are faithfully followed the dis
ease may be stayed and stamped out.
Every farmer should inspect his hogs and
all animals daily, and act promptly on
the first appearance of disease.

HINTS ON HANDLING BEES.

Just before swarmlng bees fill them
selves with honey, which supports them
in their new home until they get to work
again. This is an exceedingly fortunate
thing for the beekeeper, as itmakes them
much more kindly and easily handled
than they otherwise would be. With bees,
as with men, they are best natured when
on full stomach. In the colder portions
of the country protecting the hives is
necessary, either by placing them in eel
lars or packing in chat; in milder sec
winter well on the summer stands. In
handling bees fearlessness is wonderful
protection. A person who fights them or
tries to drive them away is quite sure to
be stung. Still, it must be admitted that
there is something about persons that
gives to a few immunity from bee sting
that other cannot obtain.
The safest way for the average bee
keeper is to protect ones self as well as
possible by the dress, use smoker, and
proceed as you would about any other
work, taking care not to crush or injure
bee. Occasionally colony will attack
a horse that has been driven or led too
near their stand. When this occurs they
often exhibit vindictiveness and perse-
verance that is not only wonderful, but
dangerous. Horses that have been heated
by driving and become sweaty are more
obnoxious to them than the same animals
would be when in their normal condition,
grazing near the hive. There are so
many things to be learned about bees that
persons without experience In the bust
ness, who design keeping them, should
buy one of the many books on the sub
ject or subscribe for good paper de-
voted to beekeeping.-New York World.
