THE BARN.

The man who goes about his barn with
pipe or cigar is recommended to take
out an insurance policy at once from one
of the old line companies. We recon-
mend the old line companies, in such case,
for two reasons: First, such carelessness
should be made to pay as high as posi-
bic for its fun; and second, such man
ought not to impose upon his neighbors
who form the basis of the farmers mu-
tual companies. We saw a man not long
ago smoking while he was currying his
horse in the stable. He said he had done
it for years and had not had fire yet.
1t is possible that man might smoke in
a powder mill for years without causing
an explosion, but he would be a very
reckless man who should attempt it. It
needs but spark among hay or straw to
burn down barn with the probable loss
of all there is in it. Never do anything
which is likely to cause a fire. If fire
in the barn does occur, there is one thing
that it is well to remember. Horses are
frightened tout of their wits" by fire.
You cannot lead horse from burning
barn in the ordinary way. The best way
is to blindfold the animal. This may be
done by throwing a coat or blanket over
the head Western RuraI.

HINTS ABOUT HORSES.

Once during lifetime is all any man
need expect to be suited in family horse.
Be kind but firm with the horse; petting
is as much out Of place as abuse. Feed
the horse out of trough placed on the
ground; this is not only the most natural
position, but it prevents the proper eleva-
tormuscles of the shoulder becoming rigid
and fixed, which by constant use of high
managers and tight refining is frequently
the case. How often do we see horses
worked in towns to heavy carts or light
carriages unable when turned out to grass
to get their heads to the ground without
setting the fore feet out wide, sometimes
going down on one or both knees, or set
ting one leg forward with the other as far
back as possible. Twelve quarts of good,
clean old oats, with twenty-one pounds of
good, clean old hay, with sprinkling of
salt, is sufficient ration for an ordinary
sized horse for one day. Beans are the
most muscle producing food given to
horses. Horses in the habit of swallow
ing food without thoroughly masticating
can be cured by covering the bottom Of
the feed-trough with loose stones about
the size Of an egg. "p
Never offer unsolicited advice for the

HOW TO PLANT LIMA BEANS,

1t is almost universal practice in New
Jersey to plant lima beans by thr,,sting
them into the ground with the eye down
ward, farmers claiming that the bean is
not so likely to rot and the plants appear
earlier than when the seed is set
otherwise. The idea in planting lima
beans in this way probably originated in
some one observing that when bean
sprouts both root and stem start from the
eye and the bean is lifted above ground
the two catyledons becoming the first
pair of leaves, usually called the seed
leaves. This is true with all species and
varieties of the bean, while with peas,
which belong to the same family of plants,
the seeds remain in the ground or
below the surface when they. throw up
new shoot. We have always practised
planting lima beans the Same way that
we do other kinds, that is, drop them
on the ground and cover Athem with q
hoe, and we have yet to discover that it
made any difference whether seed was
covered when lying ON the side or set up
on its edge. Try row of limas next
year, planting each alternate hill in the
row different, and see if those with eyes
down succeed any better than those with
eyes up; Of on the side, laying the bean

PHOSPHATE FoR ruRNrps.

In England phosphate is not applied
to grain crops directly as here, but is
used on turnips, and these are fed off by
sheep on the land where the roots grow.
Sheep that have had some experience will
dig out the interior of the turnip very
quickly, leaving the pungent peeling on
the outside untouched, save where the
hole was made to get at the centre. In
this double working of the phosphate in
the roots and through the animals
stomachs, it gains very considerably in
effective value for grain, and when eaten
by sheep is distributed quite evenly.
The animals are herded or confined in
small plots on the turnip field until the
roots are fully eaten.-Mew York W.T.

SETTING MILK FoR CREAM.

1t is generally conceded that for the
best results in butter making, where the
milk is set in deep cans, the milk should
be placed in the creamer as nearly as pos
sible at the temperature at which it is
drawn from the COW, there being con-
siderable loss of fat in skim-milk if the
milk is allowed to cool to any great ex-
tent before being set. OF late there has
been considerable controversy as to
whether it is advisable under any condi-
tions, to warm the milk before setting,
and as to the limit of temperature beyond
which it is not safe to go. Mr.. 1. P.
Roberts concludes, as the result of inves-
LEGATIONS at the College of Agriculture at
Cornell University, that first there is a
loss of butter when the milk is heated,
there is no risk of injuring the quality of
the butter by Incorporating in excess of
caseine, even when the milk is heated as
high as 135 degrees. York World.

THE Farm AND GARDEN.
THE oRoP-BouED Fowl.

The crop-bound fowl is not one which
has simply gorged itself with food, but
one which has the passage obstructed
through which the food passes from the
crop to the gizzard. A fowl never eats
more than it can digest, provided the
food can get into the digestive organs.
A fowl rarely swallows anything which
cannot easily pass into the gizzard. The
trouble is solely caused by the accumula-
ton of the food in quantities in the crop,
in which condition it becomes packed in
solid mass.-Farm, FTsld and SsOek-
man,
