ASSERTING THE HENS.

It is n Of the most important mat.
tiers that hens be separated according to
the requirements. If you have a flock
of hens, and some of them are laying
while others are unproductive, separate
the layers from the others, or take out
the extra fat hens. This is especially
necessary on those farms where the hens
are confined to a limited area. The lay
ing hens and the fattening hens do not
require the same food. For instance, a
hen that is intended for market may be
allowed all the grain she can consume,
but the laying hen will require a more
heterogeneous diet, such as meat, and if
they are together the laying hens may
not receive the food intended for them,
as the others will also take a portion.
There is also a difference in hens in an
other respect-age. The old hens will
always domineer over the younger. 1t
is best to have a flock OF the same breed
and age. The layers should never be
with the ~non-layers. Always observe
the condition of each hen, if possible.
and feed according to circumstances, as
there is no rule that can be
followed in feeding.-Farm and Fire

THE FARM AM GARDEN.
Il FARM PLAT.

Every farmer should know the exact
area of his farm, and the area of every
division of it. There is satisfaction in
knowing this, and the plat will be use
ful in keeping a record of operations
during the year. Many farmers can
tspace" q field and come somewhere
near" the actual contents, bat this is not
enough. A farmer who had depended
upon the pacing measurement, found
when he came to sell that he was five
hundred dollars poorer than he thought
be was. As the price was reduced this
amount, it was equivalent, almost, to a
loss. 1t was a disappointment. The
plat may be used every year 10 keep a
record Of all crops. Make a copy Of the
plat every spring by laying tracing paper
upon it and tracing the lines. The years
work may then be laid out--corn in this
lot, oats in that, and so on. If this be
done accurately every year, and the plans
be kept, they give a record of all crops,
and succession or rotation of crops in a
small space-a kind of one leaf book
keeping that recommends itself to sll
farmers.-American AqricuHuriSt.

A New Milking Machine.

It seems. at last, as if the problem of
obviating the necessity of hand milking
has been solved. The means is an air
pump in combination with the. suitable
appliances. Along the stalls a metal tube
communicating with che air pump runs
in a channel prepared for it. At the
outside of each stall division there is a
switch by which a branch tube of An
dia rubber is brought within the range
of the force transmitted through the tube
in the channel. The switch is q very
ingenious part, and by merely being
pressed down for half an inch the branch
tube is turned son." while by the switch
being raised half an inch the current is
turned "of" the branch tube. The
branch tube at its other extremity sub
divides into four, each of which is tipped
with a section of a cows horn furnished
with an India rubber lip. These four
horns with the India rubber clips" are
placed over the teats of the COW, aud adj
here closely to the udder by the suction
communicated from the air pump, and
the milk is thus rapidly drawn from the
udder. The machine, also, the inventors
point out, follows the natural method Of
the calf in drawing the milk from the
udder, for every stroke of the pump is
followed by a distinct pulsation OF lesser
force al the farthest end of the branch
tubes.-NeU York Telegram.

Electricity for Farming.

One Of the first to recognize the great
Importance Of utilizing electricity for
farming purposes in England was the
Marquis Of Salisbury, who not only uses
the water power on his estate for light
ing by electricity, but also grinds his
corn, cuts his horse fodder, pumps his
water and does a variety of other work
bv means of electric motors thus driven.
On many manors which are adjacent to
streams OF water farmers are beginning
to realize the possibilities which lie close
at hand for the more economical work
ing Of their farms, and are installing
electrical plants which can be worked at
a cost unapproached by any other means.
There are tens of thousands of portable
and other steam engines owned BY agri-
c~ulturists in this country which would
be used in a variety of ways in connec-
ton with electricity. The mere saving
In insurance alone would in nunberless
cases Justify d farmer in driving his
thrashing, c~haf-cutting of grinding ma
chinery by an electric motor, instead of
being obliged to bring his engine, as
now, right into his farm buildings.

There is in Detroit at present an equine
thoroughbred which is pronounced not
only the handsomest, but one of the
largest horses in existence. He is in
truth a giant, and the v%eriest novice in
horse6esh could not but view his size
and beauty without a certain feeling of
ave-. This colossal animal is five years
old, and is t%wenty-one hands high,
weighing 1855 pounds. An ordinary
sized man cuts but a small figure beside
him. He is a dark chestnut in color,
with superb name and tail. He is owned
by Richard Tregaskis, and a trot in
four minutes.
1t seems a pity that there viii be none
of his progeny. He was imported from
France by a Kentucky horse breeder,
who paid $4,000 for him. When put in
the stud the animal became a veritable
iend. He would kick and bite on the
slightest provocation, and no one could
do anything with him. He soon killed
one attendant, and a short time after
another man fell a victim to the vicious
brute. The death of these two men
caused the owner to change the animal
into a gelding, and with good effect, his
temper being greatly improved.-rDetroi

Grating Teeth.

Much has been written Of late about
skin-grafting, aad n Reading physician
has even succeeded in trausplanting 4
mustache to the uppec lip OF a onaa
But there are several local dentists VINO
have met with remarkable success
in grating teeth. The process is known
as ~implanting, and should not be Goa,
founded with either transplanting or re-
planting, both CT which have been done
for years. In impianting a tooth the
gum may have entirely healed over, in
fact a tooth may be implanted years after
its predecessor has been removed. With
the aid of cocaiue the operation is not at
tended with any great amount Of pain,
The gum is thoroughly saturated with
cocaine and an incision is made exposing
the jawbone. A socket is then drilled
into the bone, and a tooth, after having
been placed in an antiseptlc solution, IS
fitted into the socket and tightly bound
in its place. The wound heals quickly,
and in two weeks the grated tooth par
takes of all the nature of a perfectly
natural tootb.--Philadelphia Record.
