POOR CONDITION OF A HORSE.

Poor condition is commonly due to
malnutrition; the food is either not
properly digested or it is not assimilated; :;
that is, it is diverted in the system from
its healthful disposition in nourishing
the muscular tissue. The nitrogenous
elements then pass off through the kid
neys in excess and cause disturbance of
those organs; hence poor condition is
generally accompanied by some urinary

Peruvian bark, sulphate of iron, and

startled cry, directly toward him and the
tree and vanished. Not more than a
dozen feet separated them when the
fairy apparition disappeared.
The puzzled hunter sprang over the
spreading roots to find the spite. There
was nothing in sight. Suddenly his won
derings were interrupted by asoft voice
behind him:
"Good evening, SIR"
He turned and saw in the dark hollow
of the big tree woman, holding up
deerskin curtain. The gray skin was so
near the color of the mossy trunk that he
had not noticed it. Now he saw that
the curtain hid big hollow, from which
the woman had come, while from behind
her dress showed the faces of several
children, among them that of the pretty
child that had so startled him..

spring, as larch, willow, and most small
fruits, would better be moved in autumn;
but If this work was neglected at that
time, then attend to it soon after winter
frost is out of the soil. After vegetation
once becomes active in any plant the risk
of removal is greatly heightened. This
is the cause of death of the larches and of
so many of our hardy herbaceous plant,
moved late in spring. The other extreme
is represented by the conifers and mag.
nolia family. Their buds start very late
in the season, and we reasonably suppose
considerable amount of heat reauisitc
to rouse vegetation. Consequently, all
such trees and plants may be removed
after much OF our spring work has re-
ceived attention. Indeed, practice has
demonstrated that late removal in all such
cases is "A benefit; success is then much

CARE OF STOCK.


AS the season is now at hand, after
the unusually open weather, when the
utmost care must be taken of all live
stock q include all animal life on the
farm, the prudent farmer will not trust
his cattle and horses to the care of a
chore boy. or "a person who hascpo capital
invested, and who cares notftiifo for the
we'll being of the animals under his
charge.
How many of us have seen tho -miser-
able condition of the farm yards of
certain class of farmers, who from SICK
ness or other cause are unable to person:
ally attend to their stock during the
winter. Doors off their hinges, ;shbvcls
and forks broken, manure almost block
ing up the entrance to stables and every
thing having "a most terrible look to one
accustomed to order and punctuaIity..
If farmer is too idle or too ill to at
tend to the barn yard himself, and can
not afford proper hand to do SO, he
should not keep any live stock during
the winter. 1t is inhuhinm tG. leave poor
animals dependent ON boys ofchorc men

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

= Always hatch eggs from healthy fowls,
eggs of fair size.
The clematis is favoritc climber with
everybody who has grown it.
Provide good, dry quarters for the
ewes during the lambing season.
Plenty of good feed and fresh air is
better than carding for the COW.
If your pullets do not lay they are
probably too fat; feed less grain.
In four-foot rows it will take about
5000 asparagus plants to the acre.
Hay for horses ought to be of the L,,t
quality; it should never be overripc,
Equal parts by weight of corn and
oats ground together make good grain
ration for a COW.
AS no two animals are alike, it is wise
to consult their special appctites and de-
'sires when feeding them.
y Bexsme. that there are no cracks or
knot holes in the hen-house through
(which the cold winds can whistle.
No matter about the fine points of the
COW for the dairy, if the milk pail and
the churn show that she is all right.
15 The general opinion is that cows i'm

old. 1t pays to take care of the heifcrs.

cultivator will do the work.

Hit it is II hoggish way when the high.
way is made the grazing ground for

y. Farmers should invest few dollars in
butc bred fowls for the benefit of their
boys, il they have fancy in that direc-
ton. A boy needs something that he
can call his own.
1t is said that rats are so fond of sun
flower seeds that they will, if plenty,
flock into the wire cage kind of a trap in
such quantity as to nearly fill it. But
they should be fed awhile on the seed be-
fore introducing the trar.
1t is a waste of cash product to feed a
calf whole milk after its rsnnet stomach
changes SO as to call for solid food, and
it is a mistake to so feed it after it is ten
DAYS old. Warm skinned milk and n
little oatmeal are considered much better.
Is your cellar frost proof? Kerosene
lamp-stovcs will keep the frost out of
severe nights, and there are usually but a
few nights when the freezing point
threatens Do not bank the cellar with
manure. Use muck or sawdust, or even
snow instead.
The small potatoes that arc so little
