Any animal which gives milk is
thereby to great extent protected
from disease. What would otherwise
cause sickness has an escape valve
through the milk secretion. The mere
statement of this fact ought to empha-
size the necessity of giving milch COWS
pure water. The unhealthfulness Of
milk in summer, from which so many
children sicken and die, is more fire.
quently caused by giving the cows i'm
pure water than by anything else. The
COW should not be allowed to drink
what is unfit for person.

The Sultan's Brother a Prisoner,

The man who will succeed Abdul
1lamid as Sultan Of Turkey is a
'wretched, lean, pale-faced creature Of
five and forty named Mohammed Re-
chad. He is the sultan's own
brother, and is kept a close prisoner
in the palace grounds lest he should
conspire for bis msjesty's downfall.
He has certainly no such intention,
but usage requires that sultan's heir
apparent should be treated as a sus-
pected criminal, and Abdul Hamid is
much too nervous creature to inno-
vate in this particular.

While the question is being con
sldered whether our abandoned farms
shall be allowed to grow up to forests
or be peopled with Hottentots, as a
well-known orator has put it, it is well
to be prepared for either case. There
are many places where the farmers
greatest care is to keep the bushes from
over-running their farms, and farmers
in such localities will not appreciate
lectures on forestry. But where farms
are well cleared up and certain por-
ton set apart for wOodlot from neces-
sity, and it is desired TO get as much as
possible from the given area, there is
much that may be done to advantage.
All trees which have fallen should be
picked up and used before they are
worthless, and crooked trees which are
crowding others should be removed
Stock should be kept out to save the
seedlings and sprouts anu much may
be saved by little care while working
among the young trees.
But in many cases, especially in
young pines that are to be saved for
timber, there is much work done that
Is WORSE lIidH useless. SuCh tfe6S
should never be thinned out unless
they are too thick for man to walk
among them. The value of timber
depends on its length, straightness and
freedom from knots. Where a green
limb is cut off Il knot remains. Where
the limb dies and drops of naturally,
the knot disappears and we find clear
lumber; if small pines are cut away
so AS to give each one that is left the
space it should occupy, when mature
they will produce too many side
branches which will necessitate contin-
ual pruning of green limbs. A pine
growing by itself in open land will
spread out as much as an apple tree,
and while by pruning decent looking
log may be made of its trunk, it will
not produce clear lumber unless the
young branches are clipped off each
year. These facts which anyone may
observe should convince owners of
lots that there is such thing as doing
too much, and that some of natures
plans are well enough AS they are.

The shrunken grains of wheat that
come out as screenings have less starch,
but propOrtionably more gluten, than
that which is plump. The very best
use of this shrunken wheat is to feed
il TO hens. 1t needs no grinding, as
fowls do better on whole grain, which
gives due exercise to their strong di-
gestive organs. Wheat contains more
phosphate of lime than any other grain,
and most of this is near the outside
husk. This helps make the shell, while
the gluten, which lies just beneath
forms the bulk of the egg, especially
the albumen or white.
Although hops can be grown from
seed, this is not the usual way of pro-
pagating them. The best time to plant
hops Is III the spring, as early as the
ground can be worked. The rows are
made about eight feet apart, and the
sets planted i'll these at about the same
distance. Each set has two ewes. is
planted about an inch deep and pressed
firmly down. The first year, a hill of
corn may be planted each way between
the hops, but the second year, the en-
tire ground is to be kept we'll cultivated.
Where the hop louise has not made its
appearance, the crop is generally a
very profitable one.

1t is good plan to use the summer
made manure as Il top dressing for the
poor places in wheat fields. A very
little fertilizer goes great way in
such cases. In our experience, when
the ground is dry, little damage is
done to wheat by driving over it with
loaded manure wagons having broad
tires that do not cut in deeply. If
only ordinary wheels are used, defer
drawing until the surface is frozen SO
1t will bear load, or wait still later
and draw on the snow with Il sled. In
this case some marks should be put up
beforehand to show where the manure
had better be spread.

There is great economy in feeding
horses to cut the coarse food and mix
it, after moistening, with oatmeal or u
mixture Of corn and oats ground to-
gether. Both the hay and grain do
more good, as the whole is better di-
gested than when left to be masticated
by the animal. With an increased
proportion of meal, straw may be
substituted for cut hay, but there should
be enough coarse material to fill the
stomach, and also to make the wet
meal porous, so that it will not mass in
lump, and thus cause collie if not

Sheep need shelter at all seasons of
the year. The cold rains, which come
late in fall, are even more hurtful to
them than is the steady cold, freezing
weather of later winter. So long as
the sheep is dry, its coat of wool is a
protection against the cold. When
this becomes wet, the coat, being next
the skin, chills it by constant evapora-
ton, until the animal takes cold and
dies from lung disease, just as its
owner would himself do if he were ex-
posed to rain in wooden clothing, and
kept it on until it dried out by the heat
of his body.

We wish some of the men who so
strongly object TO letting cattle run in
moving fields in the fall would Just
| take walk over their pasture now be-
| fore the snow comes and see if some
! of their care for the grass in moving
( fields could not be exercised to good
advantage elsewhere. They will find
the grass gnawed close TO the ground :;
nothing left for a mulch to enrich the
soil, or protect the roots, or hold the
snow from blowing off. Yet these
pastures are expected to support the
stock about seven months of the year
without any return for the elements
which are taken away, and many of
them cannot be plowed and reseeded
as the fields can. There is an extreme
to be avoided in pasturing fields, but
the results are not as disastrous and
hard to overcome as the results of
abusing the pasture as many pastures
are abused.
Some men think they are good farm
ers if they can get two tons of hay per
acre on few acres in sight from the
road, even if the pastures fail so the
cattle have to be fed at the barn in
September.

1t will save much labor if the effect
of Fall pruning is thoroughly under
stood. Wherever dormant limb is
cut of, the bud just below the cut will
next season push with greater yigor,
and become the main shoot if the high
est left on the tree. The more Wig
orously young tree is pruned in Fall
or Winter, the stronger growth of
wood it will make next year, and the
concentration of sap in few large
shoots will prevent fruiting. The only
pruning that can promote fruitfulness
Is that done while the tree is in leaf,
and this result is effected by checking
the vigor of its growth.

The future shape, productiveness
and value of an orchard depends
mainly on the way it is pruned while
young. 1t requires knowledge OF the
habit of growth of different varieties
TO know how to prune them to ad-
vantage. a little pruning while the
the tree is small sets it to growing in
the right shape, and avoids the need of
saving of large limbs later, which can
never be done without infiictino
wounds likely to destroy the vitality of
the tree. 1t is in pruning, more even
than i'll anything else, that little done
at the right time saves the necessity for
doing much more afterwards.

Several trials in recent years have
shown that the pine leaves, or needles,
as they are called, from our common
pine forests are valuable, or can
be made so, as fertilizer for potatoes
on sandy soil. If the prejudice against
sawdust from resinous woods in gen.
eral can be removed, and vegetable
matters gathered and applied to the
soil with less regard to its origin and
more for its effects, it is quite likely
that many farmers would find in the
pine forests and groves valuable ad-
dition to their scant supply of bedding,
and at the same time furnish the much
needed vegetable matter. One man
raked up the pine leaves with what
decayed vegetable matter there was
under them and mixed the mass with
lime and let it be in pile few weeks
and then used it for potatoes with
good results.

Roots of all kinds are better kept in
pits than in cellars, where they are ex-
posed to currents of air. Some earth
should be mixed with them to fill up
the spaces, and thus prevent the evap-
Grafton that usually makes them dry
and tasteless before spring. Beets and
potatoes are more easily injured by
freezing than other roots, and require
a double or triple covering to exclude
cold. Turnips, rutabagas, carrots and
parsnips will all bear a temperature
nearly or quite down to the freezing
point, provided they are in contact
with the soil. Parsnips with a slight
covering of the part of the roots above
the surface may be left in the ground
until spring without injury, and even
with benefit. The freezing makes
them better favored than they will be
if dug in the fall.
