FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

H|NA N'D $780,
Barley should always be cut before tits
dead ripe.
Sweat and dust, as we'll as ill-titting
collars, causes the horses shoulder to
gall.
Ia a. AvelTipe barley field even a heavy
dew will sometimes stain the crop while
standing.
After August clover seed should not be
sown, as the young plants will be too
tender to stand the winter.
Nature should be copied as near as pos
sible in the care of fowls, and there will
be less complaint of disease.
It is stated that the road fences are
being rapidly removed in the vicinity of
Boston, adding much to the rural beauty
of the suburbs.
Pigs can be reared so as to have eve
ty-five per cent. of lean meat in them by
feeding bran and middlings. Skim
milk may also be fed.
Nothing like a good old fashioned
| summer fallow to cleanse lands from
noxious weeds and fit them for ~undisputed
occupancy by useful crops.
A Western dairylnan thinks that dairy
| farmers as q class do not fully appreciate
the Importance Of the speedy withdrawal
of the animal heat from fresh milk.
Sheep eat into the ground, it is said,
but that is a great merit when they are
engaged in exterminating weeds, an Of
fee in which they display great merit.
Millet seed will not retain vitality
longer than two years. Ifnot fresh when
sown a large part will not terminate, and
when two years old only a small portion
will grow.
Perhaps the best remedy that can be
used to keep chicks in good condition is
/ pulverized charcoal mixed with cooked
feed. A daily ration of it can do them
no great harm.
He is not a very enterprising farmer
who, ii naturally slow, cannot hurry his
steps a little in haying, especially when
un~favorable weather has delayed t4e work
far beyond its season.
It would be good for farmers if some
of their number would write out farm
experiences and observations for publca-
ton, thereby conveying to all interested
many useful lessons that otherwise must
be lost, except to a few.
In the olden time it was thought
necessary to dry the entire moisture out
of the new cut grass before it was put
away for hay. This has been discovered
to be an error. The best hay is that
which has been but partially dried before
going into the stack. The study and ex-
pertinent with ensilage led to this dis
covery.
Cracked hoofs frequently result from a
wound of the coronet and should be
treated as follows: The coronet should
be blistered where the crack starts, and a
V-shaped mark should be cut with a Tile
at the top of the crack to separate it from
the new horn. Glycerine should be
applied to the hoof, which should be
bandaged with leather drawn tight by
means of a lace.
Stale butter may be much improved
by washing it in clear water, cutting
the butter into thin slices with
the ladle. It is then worked over will
sweet skinned milk in a churn, by which
the acidity is neutralized to some extent
The butter is then washed in brine to re
move the milk, resulted and made up fol
use. It cannot be kept without de
terioration longer than a few days.

ASPARAGUS BEDS WILL LAST A CENTUI

ASPARAGUS BEDS WILL LAST A CENTURY
An asparagus bed, if properly treated,
will last a century, or longer. The own
ers of beds are usually so anxious to CON
tinue cutting as long as the grass com
mands a good price that they kill the
roots through repeated cutting late in the
season.. Late cutting has killed out more
asparagus plantations than neglect of
manuring and cultivation.-New York
