Trentment of Sick Anlmnls.

II is not always easy for farmer to
determine just what treatment is best
for a sick animal, while educated vet
erinarians are sometimes in doubt
what course to pursue. 1t is not strange
that farmers who have had no oppor-
tunity to study the symptoms and treat
mont OF disease are perplexed when
they find that some OF their animals
are sick. There is one thing. however,
that Is always safe and is often impor-
tant to do. That is TO isolate the
affected animal at once. II the disease
is contagious it is matter of great
moment II 1t proves to be only u
simple malady, the removal OF the sick
creature from the others can do no
harm. while 1t will give better oppor-
tunities for care and nursing and will
greatly hasten recovery. IL the dis
ease is contagious, prompt removal
may prevent. its spread. Oftentimes
whole flocks Of sheep or herds OF cows
have become diseased, when the i'm
mediate removal OF the animal first to
be affected would have entirely pre-
vented the spread of the disease. In
marked cases OF sickness competent
veterinarian should be called as soon
rs possible. But the first thing to be-
done, whether the case appears to be
severe or mild, is to put the sick crea-
t,ire into q stable by itself and make it
rs comfortable as possible. American

Crane Pruning for Farmers.

{ Beginners generally try the renewal
system Of grape pruning. as 1t is easily
learned. 1t consists in growing each
year two or more sprouts from near the
crown OF the stem and cutting these
back three or four feet and then tying
them TO the wires. But this plan for
the farm brings most OF the grapes too
near the ground, where fowls soon
learn to make havoc with them, and
once learned they will scarcely leave
any for the owner. We have allowed
fowls TO run among the grape vines
through the season by permitting nc
grapes to set near the grounS. The
vines were trained to q trelis five feet
high, and most OF the grapes hung be.
tween four and i've feet. The grapes
wore also, as we thought better than
those grown lower down. and receiving
less sunlight on their leaves.

Queer Creatures.

A Chinese journal gives the follow
ing curious facts respecting some OF
the western rivers of that country:
The waters are perfectly clear, and
the people do not use nets in fishing,
but in the winter season construct
RATS, and from these throw on the
water mixture of wheat and the seed
OF species Of fern pounded together;
which, being eaten by the fish, they
appear to be killed. and rise to the
surface, but in short time they come
to life again. This they call making
the fish drunk.
In eastern Turkestan fish are OBJ
tanned in similar manner.

Household Hints.

The hest broom is of light green
color; it is tougher than the yellow.
II sassafras bark is sprinkled among
dried fruit it will keep out the worms.
Honey should be kept in the dark or
it will granulate. The bees, knowing
this, work in dark hives.
White dishes can be marked with
ones own name on the back with a
common pen and ink, and it will not
wash Off for long time.
II doughnuts are cut out an hour
before they are fried, to allow little
time for rising, they will BIO much
lighter. Try cutting at night and
frying in the morning.
The New York Sun pays a glowing
tribute to salt. "In all the range OF
materia medica there Is no remedy
half so valuable as common salt, both
because OF its real curative qualities
and of its immediate availability. 1t
is recommended for Inflammation, con-
gestion, toothache, earache, neuralgia,
headaches, in various forms OF appli-
cation. Nose and throat specialists
should use salt literally"
TO make fine pomade for the hands
scrape equal quantities OF spermaceti
and pure beeswax, cover with sweet
oil and simmer until it becomes liquid
in n small china pot. cup or jar; add a
few drops OF rosewater and mix 1t with
the other, ingredients When well
blended take 1t from the fire and let II
set firm in the cup in which it has been
melted. Rub this well into your hands
on retiring and wear pair, OF soft kid
gloves. In the morning wash them
with oatmeal or almond powder, not
soap and you will soon see manifest
improvement in color and texture.

A Swiss law is said to constitute
every man his own assessor. After

a Corner In Cats.

"You may talk about your wheat
corners, said the old '49er, but they
don't compare with the corner in cats
a man got up in California in the early
days. San Francisco at that period
was tumble-down village of pine
boards built on marsh. The place
was overrun with large, longtailed,
voracious rats which made life bur-
den to the inhabitants. We who lived
there then wern't particularly delicate
in our personal tastes, but whom it
came to losing toes and fingers while
we slept we got right up and objected
to the limit of our vocabularies. There
were a few cats in the town. of course,
but they were kept too busy to
ancrease any, and their daily walks
were so full of excitement that they
didn't live long. Well it finally got
to be q case of too bad, and cats were
quoted on the Bourse at $50 per ordi-
nary cat. Experienced cats and cats
with records brought higher prices.
Down in the southern part OF the state
they had more cats than they knew
what to do with. A smart chap in
Los Angeles heard about the state of
affairs in Frisco, and he goes and
borrows all the money he can and then
buys up every cat south of Tchachipi
at four for 81. Then he loads Cap
Haley's Sea Bird with 'em, brings 'em
up to our town and auctions 'em off.
He gets as high as $75 apiece and
clears several thousand dollars. The
cats did the business, too, and inside
of six weeks there wasn't solitary
rat in San Francisco. But we had q
d of time afterwards getting rid
of the cats"

Farm Notes.

in 1889 was consumed ut home.
In dry seasons farmers should look
well to their water supply. Water
from wells nearly dry is generally foul.
Foul water is the source OF many ills.
The Indiana Farmer we'll says that
punctuality in milking COWS is of pri-
mary Importance and for the best re-
suits is quite as essential Us regularity
in feeding.
An excellent article OF soap is man.
ufactured from corn. Experiments
show that bushel OF corn, with the
requisite amount of alkali, will make
200 pounds OF soap.
There is more clear profit To be made
from small flock of sheep-say forty
to eighty head-than from any other
stock of equal cost. But it requires
good sense to get the profit.
Nearly all classes OF stock will re-
fuse to eat wet hay, or wet fodder, I'M
less hungrier than it is profitable to
allow the farm stock to become, and
even then they will waste more or less.
He is but dolt OF u farmer who
does not know that all the heat in the
animal comes from the food it con-
sumes but that exposure to cold
wastes the internal heat, and thus
wastes the feed.
The best time to clean the mud of
the horses legs is before it gets dry;
wash off with large sponge or cloth
and then wipe dry. This will be far
better than allowing to dry and use the
curry comb and brush.
Barley Is an excellent substitute for
corn rs food for stock, and it Is more
certain crop than wheat or oats
Ground with oats, or by itself, it is
good for any animal on the farm.
Western farmers will do we'll to raise
more barley, in place of corn and oats.
The farmer should consider all plans
in his reach whereby he can grow
cheap pork during the summer. Oats
and peas grown together will come in
early. Sweet corn can also be made a
helper in this matter, feeding the
whole stalk when the ear is just past
table use. II fed earlier the full growth
of tho stalk will not be obtained.
II is not unusual in swine journals
for men to express themselves in this
way: II slop my hogs regularly, using
bran. shipstuff and middlings. always
have salt and ashes where they can get
them when wanted, and always have
healthy hogs" Yet in the light of such
testimony men feed corn alone con-
stantly and lose hogs almost every

Among the Poaitry.

Pullets become hensafter thcy moult.
Hens that lay we'll are neither hun
CRY nor fat.
Almost any Of the larger breeds are
the best for the table.
Many OF the ailments in the poultry
yard arise either from cold or indiges-
ton.
Try to arrange the poultry yards 80
that the chickens can have the morn
ing sun.
Supplying plenty OF broken crockery-
ware will often keep the hens from
pulling feathers.
Turkeys will thrive better II they
can have the run of good pastures on
wcll-drained soil.
When turkeys are first Matched they
need little feed often rather than
large feeds occasionally.
Ducks are enormous eaters and
sometimes 1t is difficult TO determine
when they have had enough.
Young ducks must be kept out OF tho
water as they are liable to get chilled,
and often this will prove fatal.
With goslings it is important to give
abundant nourishment from the start
in order to secure good growth.
A Tablespoonful glaubcrs salts dis
solved in water is recommended as a
good cure for cholera among fowls.
Twenty eggs is good average for
geese; they are not nearly so prolific
layers as ducks, and unless they begin
laying very carly will lay only ono
clutch.
Co,nmeal mixed with sweet milk
and hard boiled eggs chopped up fine
makes an excellent ration for young
turkeys. II well fed from the start, u
turkey should be ready to market by
the time they are seven months old.
