Farm Notes

Whenever an animal shows signs Of
sickness remove it from the others at
once, without waiting for the disease
TO develop. Prccaution often saves
time and loss. Ii the sickness is NOT
contagious no harm will be done by
removing the animal. Where the dis
ease is cotaglous The bodies of the
animals that huve died should be burn
cd or buried deep as the disease may
reappear at some future time ueless
precautions are used to guard against
it. The whole premises should also be-
thoroughly disinfected.
ANY substance rich in sugar will
readily fatten stock. Sweet potatoes,
beets, sorghum refuse, etc, can always
be used to advantage for hogs. Tho
small and inferior sweet potatoes.
cooked, will fatten hog sooner than
corn. and can be used to advantage
for that purpose. OF the roots, car
roots are best for horses. Turnlps, il
thickened when cooked with cornmeal.
make excellent food for all classes of
stock.
Injury from the squash borer is cas-
lily prevented. All the grower has 10
do is to cover the vines almost 10 the
tip when they have begun to run. Thus
a new root growth is made from the
joints of the vines, and the borer may
do with the main root as ne pleases.
Spinach and satisfy are very hardy.
and are really winter plants, as they
require but little protection in winter
other than light covering. Spinach
seed may be planted now. but spring
is the period for planting satisfy.
Parsnips and carrots are not injured
il stored outside in mounds, aud in
sections where the winters are not
severe they may be left in the rows,
with only slight covering. The pro-
per way to store them, however, il in
cellar. in bins, so as to easily handle
them when they are wanted for feed
ing.
Old wells in the fields should never
be boarded over. but filled up. They
often cause injury to stock when
boarded. as the boards rot and un-
expectedIy fall in. A large number of
animals are annually lost by old wells
or sinks in the folds.
Milk from fresh cows is usually
more or less ropy, and If mixed with
the milk from the other COWS it will
interfere with the rising OF the cream.
This is a matter that deserves more
consideration than it usually receives.

GRADUATED Butter.

Upon the subject of granulated but
ter, and as to the general form and
size of the granules, when ready for
washing, the plan, says Hoar9s Dai-
ryman, as pursued by the best butter
makers. is TO stop churning when the
parti cles of butter are the size Of mus.
tard seed. Draw off the buttermilk,
and with dipper pour pail of cold
water over the butter. let it run through
it and out of the churn. This hardeSg

vents them from massing together
Next cover the butter with cold water
and move the churn back and forth
few times; draw or the water, and re-
