sRuBs IN cATTLE's BACKS.

Just now a great relief may be af
forded cattle by removing from their
backs the grubs OF the CAD or bot fly
with which many of them will be found
infested. These large grubs are equiya-
lent, for all evil consequences, to as
many running ulc rs, for a large quanti-
ty Of muscular tissue is DESTROYED and
broken down into the puss, which is
consumed by the parasites. The con

injurious results. \ COW which has had
forty Of these grubs in her back
and down the sides, over the ribs, was
freed from them, the operation taking up
nearly one hour and half, and some of
the holes had to be cut a little to extract
the grub by squeezing. In two weeks
the COW gained eight pounds in weight
and increased in milk from eleven to
seventeen quarts daily. The cost Of the
srubs was therefore equal to the value OF
six quarts of milk per day, in this case
worth thirty cents, equal 70 50 in q

The Prcsldent,n Room.

Now that the Stewart mansion IL to be-
come clubhouse, says a New York
paper, ii has come out that It contained
one sacred apartment. 1t was on the
second floor, and furnished at cost of
$50, 900. There were carpets and furni-
ture of the most expensive kind, crys-
tai chandelier, marble statues and fine
paintings. II was fitted up for the use of
General Grant, then in the first year of
his term as President of the United
States. 1t will be recalled that General
Grant sent A. T. Stewards name to the
Senate for Secretary of the Treasury. 1t
was then discovered that the Constitu-
tion would not permit an adopted citizen
to take this place. But Mr.. Stewart, APP
preciating the Presidents desire to honor
him, became from that moment warmer
friend than ever of General Grant. This
room in his palatial mansion was fur
nished expressly for the use of the Presi.
dent. A latchkey to the mansion and a
key to the room were sent to him, with
the directions that whenever he wanted
TO come TO New York and have a resting
spell this room would be at his disposal.
General Grant, in the eight years that he
was President, occupied it many times.

FFRrn1zrNe wrrH CLOVER.

A system of rotation and plowing like
the following will, in few years, work
wonders on any soil. When crop of
small grain is sown in the spring, SOW a
liberal amount of medium clover and the
next year after cutting the hay early, let
the second crop go to seed and plow un-
der when well matured. The next year
plant crop, and when harvested plow
fully as deep as before which brings the
clover seed to the surface for a most lib
eral stocking. The clover seed contains
so much oil that it will not rot while in
the ground, aud still being covered so
deeply will net germinate while there.
There being such an amount of seed, if
some does winter kill plenty more will
not. Then sow a crop and the ground
is well seeded again with clover, and an
other crop of hay cut as before. And so
for a series of years, harvesting a crop
of grain the first year, corn or
potatoes the second year, grain the
third year and clover hay the
fourth year. BY this process the soil
will improve in fertility wonderfully
every year, and no expense for clover
seed after the first season. OF foourse the
above is a good system to adopt on any
land, but as sandy soil is considered of
but little value, l suggest this way of
renovating it. In recent conversation
with an old farmer from New York, he
told me that, by the process above given,
farms in his vicinity that few years ago
could be bought for song, are now
worth 800 an acre. There are many
points of excellence in sandy land. The
ground can be worked earlier in the
spring than clayey soil. The crops ma
ture earlier. 1t is easier cultivated.
1t can be worked sooner after a heavy
rain. The potato and all other root
crops are far superior in quality. If the
cultivated crops are titled as often as
they should be in dry season, they will
stand the drouth nearly if not quite as
well as on clay SOIL Western Farmer.

GRASS FOR AN ORCHARD.

Grass is not good crop for an
orchard. 1t tends to form a mat on the
surface, which is injurious to the trees.
Clover alone is better than any grass.
Orchard grass is badly named, except for
the reason that it grows we'll under the
trees, and for its own sake does well in
orchards, but it is quite the reverse for
the trees. The matted roots are apt to
gather about the stems of the trees and
lnJure them. Timothy is equally bad for
the trees, as it forms a denser sod, while
clover is loose and open, forms a protect
ing mulch over the roots of the trees,
and leaves large quantity of decaying
matter in and on the soil. Six pounds Of
clover seed per acre is enough for seed
ing an orchard. As soon as the young
trees make an excessive growth of wood, -,
1t is time to sow the orchard with clover.
The clover may remain three for four
years. and by that time it will probably
be well to plow the ground and leave it
iallow for one season, or manure it and
take a crop of potatoes or peas and then
SOW clover again. The clover NAV be
mown for hay, and the second growth
pastured by pigs which will eat the fallen
fruit.

Finding Water With a DlvinIng- Rod.

The divining-rod as a meaps of finding
a good supply Of water stood successful
trial recently at Oundle, England. w.
Todd, landowner, requiring a well on
a portion of his property, sent for a
"diviner' named Pearson. There had
been considerable difficulty in obtaining
a supply of water in the town, and the
Oundle Commissioners had spent $40O in
trial borings, conducted by professional
man, which proved futile. In the pres
sence of a number of spectators, Pear
son, with the usual V-shapcd hazel twig,
walked over the estate. In several places
the twig was visibly agitated, but the
"diviner" kept on until the twig almost
bent itself double in his hands. At this
spot well was sunk, with the result that
at seventeen feet water was found in such
abundance that it rapidly rose TO within
three feet of the surface, at which height
it has since remained. During the max
ing of the well the water percolated into
it so rapidly that at frequent intervals
operations had to be suspended to pump
out the water.

WHY BUTTER Is BRITTLE.

A farmer asks why his butter is brittle
and crummy and breaks instead of cut
ting smoothly with the knife. This ques-
tion may be answered by simply saying
because it is winter butter, or to 20
further, that winter butter usually con-
tains a greater proportion of the hard fat,
margarine and less of the soft fat, oeline,
than summer made butter. But cold
weather alone is not wholly responsible.
Feed has an influence on the character of
butter. Cows are more likely to get poor
bog hay and dry, weather-beaten corn
stalks or straw in winter than in summer
when fresh, sweet grasses are abundant.
If cows are kept in warm, clean stables
and are fed an abundance of nutritious
hay and grain, such as corn-meal, good
bran and oil-meal and the milk is we'll
handled, there need be no difficulty in
having butter that will cut smoothly
with the knife. Cows recently fresh in
milk will produce a better grade of but
ter than those that have given milk
several months. s.-Americaih Dairynlan.

FoR THE SICK PICS.

If your pigs are sick do not at once
dose them with a lot of medicine. Keep
their feed away little, and feed lightly
for few days. A change of feed may
be just the thing needed, especially if you
have been stutiing them with corn or
corn meal. 1t is very easy to clog pigs
on a single diet. They know no better
than to eat until it makes them sick.
The feeder ought to know better. Young
stock of all kinds should be permitted to
only fairly plump themselves out and not
make themselves pot-bellied. But corn
in any shape will not afford them sufficient
nourishment. 1t is deficient in muscle
and bone material. But if plenty OF
skinned milk is fed with it, the ration
is very much improved. Then if an
equal weight of wheat bran, shorts OIL
middlings is mixed with the corn meal,
the ration is better yet and more econom-
ical.- Witness.

GOOD POTATO SEED.

Unless the farmer believes that any
seed potatoes are good enough to plant,
he will do well to look carefully to the
source of his supply of potato seed this
spring. Size is not the important matter
so much as maturity and abundance OF
starch. We have known small, we'll.
ripened tubers to produce large crops.
Their chief objection is having too many
eyes, producing great number OF
sprouts, which crowd each other and de.
crease the yield much as such crowding
would with anything else. II small po-
tatoes are used dig out all the eyes save
two, and let these be well developed.
Where large potatoes are cut to one or
two eyes this often makes very small
pieces at the seed ends. 1t is better in
such cases to dig out some of the eyes
and cut the pieces of larger size. More
than one sprout is often produced from
a single eye, especially on rich soil and
when planted deeply.-Ameriean Culticd-
tor.

RACKS FOR FEEDING SHEEP.

As much as possible the feeding OF
sheep in winter should be done under
shelter, and the coarse feed especially
ought to be kept where it can be reached
during the night. A rack is made by
using narrow boards, with wide, open
Rces between each, and the boards
y nailed both at top and bottom TO
the crosspieces. A long box made thus
will accommodate one sheep to each
opening. Ifthe flock is reasonably even
in strength, there will be no injurious
crowding at the feeding ricks. They are
usually made about four feet high, thus
allowing the coarse manure TO pile about
them to the depth of a foot without dan
ger of the sheep breaking over.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
TIE Dust IN HAY.

There is, as all farmers know, more OF
less dustin all hay, and this, if taken into
the lungs, is very injurious to horses fed
on it. Clover hay and. that of timothy
cut in the bloom are especially liable to
be dusty, and often gives horses the heaves
when fed on either of these. Slightly
wetting the hay will prevent this injury.
The better way is to cut the hay, slightly
moisten it and throw on it a little corn
and oats ground together, taking care not
to give more than will be eaten clean at
each feed. Between meals the rack may
be filed with fresh straw, which the
horse will pick over, and which may then
be used as bedding. .--NeD York World.
