SAVING THE POTATOES.

There is more or less rot in the pota-
toes this season. This is doubtless largely
due to the absence of any precautions to
destroy the rotten tubers of last year, and
the use of infected seed. Much may be
done in way of these precautions by
sprinkling the potatoes, when stored,
with dry air slaked lime; by sorting out
oil those that are spotted with the
disease and turning them to use; the po-
tatoes that are partly dscayed may be
boiled for the pigs. The rot does not
injure them for this use when they are
cooked, and il some meal is mixed with
the cooked potatoes mashed in the water
IN which they have been boiled most ex-
cellent fattehing food may be made of
them. Agriculturist.

THE "TEA-To-TUM' cAFR.

The lea ling temperance advocates in Lon
don have been inspecting the new "Tea-to-
Tum" Cafe which was recently started in the
east end of London by Mr.. Buchanan. a
wealthy tea merchant and have come to the
conclusion that one of the best possible meth
ods ofremoving the fatal attractiveness OF
the public house would be the provision of
good and cheap eating-houses in every quar-
ter of the large towns in Great Britain The
"Fea-to-tumn cafes as they are called, are in
tended to combine the advantages of cafe
and club, and they are intended for the
uses of the working classes On the ground
floor is arestaurant, and above is a room for
bagatelle and billiards. Newspapers, chess
and draughts are provided, and the rooms
are well and tastefully fitted up. Better
than all, the food is not only cheap but ex-
cellent. A satisfactory meal may be OBJ
tanned at the cafe for eight cents. Mr..
Buchanan's aim is not profit so much as the
provision of places where working men and
women can have a good meal and spend a
qNet evening, but the venture has begun to
pay its way so that the temperance advocates
will have little difficulty in obtaining funds
to open similar cafes elsewhere.

WATER POWER on FARMS.

No doubt where there is a stream of
water having sufficient fall to give the
requisite power, it could be economically
applied for farm purposes, as for grind
ing, cutting fodder and thrashing. 4
stream giving 400 cubic feet of water
per minute, equal to about 5000 gallons,
or fifty gallons per second, with ten feet
fall will give six-horse power. Half as
much water with thirteen feet fall will
afford four horse power. A stream four
feet wide flowing 200 feet per minute
and six inches deep would give enough
water for six horse power falling ten feet
A common overshot wheel would be the
cheapest and most convenient power.
There is no reason why the wheel should
not be used with dynamo to give cleo
trio power, which might cost $500, or
about the same cost as a steam engine.
without the risk of fire and cost of fuel,
In course of time, no doubt, electricity
will be extensively used for farm pur-
poses where the cheap power of water
can be made available as the motive force

REGULATING THE QUANTITY OF FOOD.

REGULATING THE QUANTITY OF FOOD.
A hen is said to consume five pecks of
grain food in one year, or forty quarts.
Hence, if one hen eats forty quarts of
food in 365 days, then 365 hens should
eat forty quarts in one day, or about one
quart day to nine hens. 1t has always
been the rule that one quart of corn is
the proper allowance for ten hens in one
day, giving pint in the morning and
pint at night. This, however, is the es-
innate of the total quantity of food re-
quired. If green food or meat is given,
the amount of corn must be reduced pro-
portionately. How can this be done, as
ltrequires very nice calculation to equal
ize the difference between a pint of corn
and head of cabbage, there being no
standard by which the two foods can be
compared, to say nothing of the fact that
In some tlocks one hen will eat more than
another, and one will eat largely of one
kind OF food while another hen will pre-
fer some other kind. 1t is wise poul-
tryman who can estimate in advance the
exact quantity to give, as the hens may
eat more to-day and less tomorrow

DRIVING HORSES WITHOUT SHOES.

On Ooft country roads farmers can save
blacksmith bills by letting their horses
go barefooted, where stone or rocks do
not form too great portion of the road
surface. Even on frozen ground unshod
horses do good work. In this latter con-
dition of roads, the saving of calk sharp
ening in time and expense is very CON
siderable. On the ice barefooted horse
is so sure footed that he may be driven
or ridden with safety, when unsafe for
dozen miles even with sharpened calks.
Many lame horses are cured by removing
their shoes. A shod horse travels on ice,
and to degree walks on stills. An
ounce at the extremity of the foot is
largely multiplied in weight as compared
to the carrying or in draght. American

JUDGING WOOL ON LIVE SHEEP.

The finest and softest wool is on the
shoulders of the sheep An expert in
judging sheep looks first at the wool on
the shoulders. An experienced buyer
communicates the following suggestions
for selecting the long-wool sheep to an
Australian paper:
We first examine the shoulders as a
part where the finest wool is to be found.
This we take as standard and compare it
with the wool from the ribs, the thigh.
the rump, and shoulder parts, and the
nearer the wool from the various por.
tions of the animal approaches the stand
ard the better. First we scrutinize the
fineness, and if the result is satisfactory
wepronounce the fleece in respect to fine
ness very seven" Next we scrutinize
the length OF the staple, and if we find
that the wool on the ribs, thigh and back
approximates reasonably in length to
that of our standard we again declare
the fleece, as regards length of staple,
''true and even" We next satisfy our
selves as to the density of the fleece, and
we do this by closing the hand upon
portion of the rump and loin wool, these
points being usually the thinnest and
n,ulty. If this again gives satisfac-
ne designate all the wool "even to

in pen.
Broken eggs in the nest start the hens
to eat them.
Don't stint the growing fowl. Give it
all it can eat.
Use only the best oil in the incubators
and brooders.
Ducks for profit must be pushed rapidly
from the start.
Lime is cheaper than roup aud fumi-
cation cheaper than lice.
You can plow when it is too damp to
husk out and tie up fodder.
When you go to sale never bid against
yourself, nor for useless article.
Any gate or bar posts that need setting
had better be attended to at once.
Any breed of fowl can be profitably
kept on dry sandy or gravelly soil.
1t requires more moisture to hatch duck
than chicken eggs in an incubator.
There is no flesh more appreciated
than that Of a large, tender and juicy
capon.
1t is a mistake that chickens raised ar

A barn or stable should fulfil four con-

convenience.
A patch of rye grown close to the
poultry yard is cheap way of furnish

On wet, low-lying land ducks and
geese are the only poultry that can be
successfully reared.
The way to make anything pay is to
combine pluck, grit, perseverance, econ
