Bathing. -WhiIe We adyise frequent
bathing for the farmer and his hands, We
would also provide bathing facilities Tor
the domestic animals. Fortunate ls the
farmer whose land borders upon lake
or stream OF sufficient depth to allow the
horses. cows, etc. frequent bath. Not
only will the animals enjoy 1t, but the
bows will find it more Jun than work.

stand little too long before it was
cooked, sprinkle little sugar over it be
fore removing it IRON the fire, and the
unpalatable taste will be removed. A
/ teaspoon OF sugar to every pint OF milk
should always be used when the milk is

meal is much improved If sugar is put in

A Point for Bee-Keepers.-Here is the
substance OF bit of dauber literature in
( Cook. of the Michigan Agricultural Col
lege: A mud dauber is an economic
creature. When it gets cell ready to
be sealed up, it finds spider, paralyzes
it, puts it in the newly constructed cell,
inserts dauber egg in the spider 5
plump body, and seals the house up.

/ spider. As it eats it grows, and as it
grows ii eats more spider, and finally
emerges IRON its cell j regular mud

In demonstrating certain animals, VI
make them CONFORM their habits to our
own purposes, and as AN offset to this,
We relieved them OF AL trouble in hunt
/ ing Tor their food. In providing for the
various comforts that they would seek in
the Wild state, one is often overlooked
that is, shade. Look at animals in a
pasture IN which there is abundant
shade, and where do you find them dur
ing the hot portion oil the day? Certainly
not exposed 70 the sun, and grazing, but
every one, whether horse and cattle OF
sheep ami pigs, quietly resting and
endeavorlng to digest in the shade the
TOOL they have eaten earlier in the day.
