Farm Notes.

On small farms, convenient to market,
fruit and poultry go well together.
Wheat and potatoes are two crops that
can be grown and sold without feeding.
Raising clover is one of the cheapest
and best plans of keeping up the fertility,
With yong stock it is important, if the
best profit is realized, to keep them thrifty
and growing.
The most profitable hog is the one that
gets an average weight of 200 lbs. in the
shortest time.
One advantage in only having one breed
of poultry on the farm is that they can be
given a free range.
The turkey is tender when young, but
hardy when matured and should be man
aged upon this principle.
Feeding for it is the best plan of pro-
curing milk with plenty of butter fat on
it. The fault is not always the cows.
The home market should not be over
looked; often with a little care better
prices can be secured than by shipping.
Sheaf oats run through cutting box
and fed to stock makes a good ration
especially if wheat bran is added, while at
the same time 1t saves the expense Of
threshing

HOW TO TAKE A BATH,
Hints About Something That Every
4 body Thinks She Knows.


Everybody thinks, CT course, that
she knows how to battle. And some
people do. That certainly must be
allowed. The best sort OF bath to
take, best for your skin and best for
your brain--for, after all, brains need
baths as much as do hands--depends
altogether onyour constitution. For
q good proportion of people it should
be pretty warm and creamy with
soapsuds, and You should plunge into
it and rub yourself entirely.
Then after you have scrubbed and
rubbed until your skin looks like the
proverbial milk and you feel as il you
would like to lie down and 60 to sleep,
you want TO take your tonic bath,
and that is the shower one-cold, as
cold as cold can be. The first few
streams will make you Jump with fright
but in second or two you are abso-
lutely enjoying the downpour, and you
come out OF it warm and glowing
OF course you will think you can't
stand the cold conclusion, and the
chances are you will think 50 quite
strongly. Probably you will be mis-.
taken, but if you should by any
chance be right in the matter impro
wise q Russian shower; that is, one be.
ginning at the temperature OF tho
water in which you battle, and gradu.
ally getting cold you can do this %
taking pitcher after pitcherful of water
and pouring them over your shoulders
and all over your body, and the slight
exertion used in handling the pitcher
will tend to make You warmer and to
moderate what might be called tbs
shock. The knowledge how to use
water and soap is easily gained, and
urges one on to greater wisdom-to
wit. the knowledge OF how to keer
clean the house and more particularly

What VIII Cure Ballxy Horse?

In answer to the above question
asked by one of its correspondents, an
exchange says that baking is almost
invariably the result Of overlooking
and harshness at sometime in the
horses training, and when he balks,
beating, or harsh measures of any
kind only aggravate the matter. Ho
seems to think he has q grievance,
and will not start while he broods over
it. Any mild measure which will di-
vert his attention will break the spell.
The only way we know OF is to find
out what measure will suit tic in
dividual case in hand. One ingenious
driver pulled down the left car OF his
balky horse, and tied it there. 1t was
a new experience to the horse and he
started along without further trouble.
But the drivers satisfaction was some
what modified when he found that the
horse ever after refused to start until
his left ear was tied down to the head
stall.
A means which is used with some
success is to at once unhitch the horse
when he balks and lead him around
several times in a narrow circle. He
is then replaced in the shafts and goes
on with no more trouble. Another
method is to go to the horses head,
speaking kindly to him, then lift one
of his feet and tap it lightly few
times with q stone. A pat on the
head or a stroking Of the nose. at the
same time giving little sugar or salt
will start some. There are many de-
vices that will suggest themselves to
the driver of a balky horse. But if a
spirited and intelligent horse is ever
loaded and knows it. none of these lit
tie devices will move him.
Baking is not the result of equine.

have it. nor OF "cussedness' as many

or unkind drivers, there would be no

Salt a. ~ Fertilizer.

Salt as manure is paradox. Long
ago science, by chemical analysis,
held that the constituents of salt are
found only in small amounts in vegeta-
ton, and these in nearly all soils are
in sufficient abundance TO furnish the
needed supply. Opposed to this view
has been the experience of many farm
crs who have found the use of salt in
small quantities OF great benefit.
Though the salt perhaps is not needed
directly as plant food, yet it has an
important Office as a solvent in making
other fertilizers available. Salt in
large amounts has always been known
as destructive to vegetation. In
ancient times TO SOW city with salt,
putting it perhaps foot deep, was the
symbol of its devotion ever after to
desolation and barrenness. Some of
the Biblical prophets thus predicted
that Babylon and Nincvuh should be
utterly destroyed under the figure of
sowing them with salt Yet possibly
their conclusion was not warranted.
We have heard of farmers by mistake
the first crop was destroyed. But this
did not by any means make the land
barren forever after. On the contrary,
after a year or two. as the excess of
salt was worked out by rains. the land
became more productive than before.
1t is interesting in this connection,
that Christ on the only occasion when
He referred TO salt used these signifi-
cant words: Salt is good, but if the
salt have lost its saver, wherewith
shall it be seasoned? 1t is thenceforth
fit for nothing but to be cast out and
trodden on a dunghill?" To city
man advice to throw refuge salt on a
manure heap and tread it down means
! to condemn it as good for nothing; but
no modern, intelligent farmer will be
guilty of such mistake as this. 49,
