Why a Dogs Nose is Cold.

Everybody knows that a dogs
nose is always cold, but very few
people know why. The cartilage
composing the outer surface Of a
dogs nose is almost destitute of
blood vessels, bat plentifully
supplied with glands which exude
q watery secretion that. by its evap-
Grafton, keeps the no:e below the
normal temperature. The dog s
sense of smell is located in the
nerves withio the nostrills, aod 1t is
probable that these are kept 10 bet,
ter condition by the low tempera>
ture OF the cartilaginous tip Of the
nose. The state Of dogs health
is at once Indicated by his nose,
for no dog with a hot dry nose can
be healthy, and one of the first signs
of rabies is drYness and heat of the
nose, for these symptoms indicate
fever and fever in the beginning of

SOUR milk is treat both to hens and
TO little chickens.
If only one thing is used coal oil is
probably the best to use for lice.
PROVIDE shelter under which the
young fowls can run whenever it rains
DAMAGED grain or fermented food
often induces disease and should never
be fed.
AFTER warm weather sets in it will
do no harm if some of the fowls roost
out of doors.
LACK of gravel or gritty material is
nearly always the cause of the fowls
getting crop bound.
If quick growth is secured it is
very necessary to give the first feed in
the morning early.
DUCKS should always have dry quar-
ters at night if they are to be kept
thrifty and healthy.
FEED the fowls early in the morning,
before they are allowed any water; feed
well and water afterwards.
Do NOT keep too many brakes; one to
every five ducks is enough. More than
this simply adds to the expense.
NEsT-EGG gourds make good nest eggs
during the winter, but they should not
be planted near the squashes or other

CARE OF AN ORCHARD.
How to Keep Up the Fertility of Fruit
Bearing Trees.


How to Keep Up the Fertility of Fruit
Rearing Trees.
The following method of keeping up
the fertility of an orchard in the most
economical way is given by corre-
spondent of the Pittsburgh Stoclqnan:
First, seed down the orchard to clover,
big or little kind; then in, Julyicut the
clover ana spread it under the trees to
rot there. Repeat the operation each
year for three years; then plow the
ground shallow in the fall or early
spring and SOW it to clover alone--no
grain with it. This will ordinarily Sc
secure good catch of clover Then
repeat the operation of moving the
clover and placing it under the trees to
rot In addition to this put every two
years under each tree, in the fall, about
one bushel of Stacked lime-hard wood
ashes are just as good as lime-and
your trees will grow "lilxe asparagus
and bear like applesass." 1t is not
bad plan-if trees are not too large or
close together-to secure a catch crop
the year before you seed down, by
plowing the ground six or eight feet
wide between the rows of trees Ma
nure it well aud plant it in squashes or
pumpkins; work them WELL let them
have free scope, and they will yield II
paying crop. Don't neglect the trim
ming for ten years and then employ the
tree butcher to cut and slash at will,
but see that they ere trimmed what is
needed once year.

DIFFERENT FERTlLlzrRs.
Why the Farmer Should BE Familiar
with the Needs ot Ills Soil

Why the Farmer Should BE Familiar
with tho Needs ot Ills Soil.
If the farmer thoroughly understood
the needs of the soil, manuring could
be done more economically and TO
much better advantage. In order to
maintain fertility the application OF
materials containing proper elements
are as necessary as in feeding stock to
the best advantage. If more of one
material is supplied than is needed
there is more or less waste that in
many cases could be avoided. Stock
may have plenty of some kinds of food
that contain only certain elements and
yet not make growth, because other
elements equally necessary are not sup
piled.
SO with growing crops Manures or
fertilizers may be applied containing
some of the essential elements of plant
growth and yet the plants will not
make thrifty growth for lack of other
elements equally important knowing
what makes up u complete ration to
secure the desired end with stock less.
ems the cost and increases the profit,
and in manuring the soil if the needs OF
soil and of the growing crops were
more thoroughly understood much bet
ter results could be secured.
With many farmers the question oi
fertility is becoming an important
study. AS ordinarily managed, even
where stock are kept to consume near
ly or quite all of the farm products, ii
is difficult to save and apply a sufficient
amount of manure to keep up the fer
tility, while if allowed to run down the
situation becomes worse. If purchas
| ing commercial fertilizers is to be made
profitable it must be done with q
knowledge of what the growing crops
and the soil requires, or elements not
needed will be applied, and in conse
| quence there will be more or less waste
In some states arrangements arc
made by which farmer can have com
mercial fertilizers offered for sale ana
| lyzed, so that the elements of plan
| food they contain can be ascertained
| This is great help and is an aclSnowl
edgment of the Importance of applying
fertilizers understandingly.
The nearer the elements needed fol
plant growth are supplied in the righ
proportion and available form the bet
ter will be the results secured and the
less the cost. But to do this the sol
must be understood as well as the re
quirements of the different plants, anC
one of the advantages of science il
farming is secured where this is done
