AS soon as the male chicken Is capon-
| lied. it loses it's masculine nature and
associates with the hens. They are eX-
| cellent nurses. and will accept broOds
| of chicks, scratching and ''clucking''
for them exactly like hens. They do
even better service than hens, as they
never wean the chicks, the capons
| nursing them until the chicks become
so large that they voluntarily leave
their protectors. Any brood of chicks
| may be given to capon, and he Will
accept them at once.
Secretary Parker, of a stock assOcia-
ton in Detroit, says: "a good horse is
blessing to any man. and there is no
reason why he should be associated
with pool selling and other questionable
devices in the public estimation. There
is no betting as to which blOOded cow
shall give the most milk, or which
superior sheep shall shear the most
wool or make the most mutton. and
there is no reason why fast horses
should cause gambling"
Col. Duncan. of Union. S. c.. in an in
teresting and eloquent speech recently
made to the PendletOn Farmers insti-
tute, tells the farmers how to make
money on their farms. and that the true
secret of successful farming is to live
within ones means. The agricultural
problem, after all, is simply nothing
more nor less than production and con-
sumption. The farmer. to be success
full, must produce more than is con
sumed on his farm
The Chicago fat stock show will COM

associations in the United States. En-
tries to the fat stock show must be made

address, with age and description of an

In case persons, especially children.
become poisoned Oy eating wild pars-
nips, potatoes which have been in the
sun until they are green, eating too
much celery without other food, eating
peach or plum seeds which are full of
prussic acid, or even eating peach or
wild cherry leaves, until doctor can
be had. they should be given immedi-
ately, to neutralize the poison, soda,
salt, chalk, oil OF milk, etc.
Chicken Broth-Cut up a chicken

a clean damp cloth. Put it III sauce
pan, and cover with three quarts of cold
water and One-fOurth of cupfu] of we'll
washed rice. Bring it slowly to q boil,
and let it simmer slowly three hours, or
until very tender. Strain, and season
with salt. Serve with squares of toasted
bread.
To attempt to improve scrub stock by
selecting and breeding is poor economy.
You can purchase improved stock and
secure the benefit of the work OF others
cheaper than you can do the same work
yourself. Good grades are desirable.
but they should be females. Never use
a grade male for breeding purposes.
The only way to improve stock cheaply
is to infuse new blood by procuring
thoroughbred males.
A fagstOne floor with cemented joints
is best for the dairy. Wooden floors
are apt to rot out, and brick floors alb
sOrb the spilled milk, soon becoming
very offensive. If bricks are used the
floor should be kept painted all the
time, and even with this extra trouble
it is not so good as flagStOne and cement.
The tlagstOne underground is always
easily kept cool, as dairy floor should
be.
V1ck's Magazine, abiding to dwarf
eyergreens. SAYS: dwarf cOniferS fill
a place in ornamental planting that no
other plants can, and their merits en-
title them to more attention and use
than has yet been given them by plant
ers generally. The Cincinnati Southern
railroad, passing over the Cumberland
mountains. affords Cincinnatians access
to great variety of cOniferS."
Never whip horse when he is fright
ened or nervous, or try to force it up to
the object that has caused the alarm;
draw in on the reins, suddenly speak
out with assurance that you are not
afraid, then turn the animal little
away from the unpleasant sight and bid
it go. A blow of a whip upon fright
ened horse gives it double cause for
violent action.
"There is a great loss every winter
from feeding stock exposed to the cold,
instead of in thoroughly warm stable"
says Waldo F. Brown.
"Many of the dairy authorities" says
the Rural New Yorker, 'advise the
growing of parsnips as food for butter
cows. Many claim that this root is bet
ter than the carrot as butter-prOdnc-
ng food. 1t is frequently said that large
quantities of parsnips are grown on the
Island of Jersey. Have any of our
American dairymen ever grown the
root on large scale?'
Cut straw as bedding for sheep keeps
the dirt out of the wool and affords a
dry place for the sheep at night. The
shed in which sheep remain at night
should be frequently cleaned in order to
avoid accumulatiOns of drOppings. AS
the fall rains approach, and the weather
remains damp, sheep easily take cold,
which is accompanied with discharges
at the nostrils. Dry shelter and bed
ding will greatly assist in Warding off
this difficulty.
In regard to cutting off the seed ends
of potatoes and throwing them away,
j. NJ. Smith says: Last spring saved
bushel of the seed ends and planted
them by themselves right In the middle
Of a piece Of two or three acres that
was planting; and I found, when we
came to dig them, that the yield was
about Just the same and the potatoes
about the same size. But those coming
from the seed ends were nearly week
earlier than the others.
The Hartford Times. alluding to the
low price of sugar il, some European
