BLANKETING HOSES.

The noble organs within the chest re-
quires protection in cold weather, and
especially when the animal is heated by
fast work. The blanket is almost indis-
pensible, as protection. It should per-
tectly cover the chest and body far back
of the loins, even to the root of the tail.
No animal when heated, even when
blanketed should stand long in draught.
The thick muscles of the rump require
no special cover. A blanket that will
buckle snugly under and behind the
chest is the best for fast driving horses
when heated. A horse gets stiffened in
his forequarters and forefeet when ex-
posed to cold draught when heated.
Clipped horses, when properly covered,
are not SO liable to founder as long coated
horses profusely sweating. For more
perfect protection the double breasted
blanket is special preventive of founder.
Never forget that a merciful man is
merciful to his beast, aside from the loss
in value that may follow neglect

CooPs FOR SITTING HENS.

AS precaution against storms and
severe cold, all the coops for sitting hens
should be placed in. the poultry house or
under shed. When the hens come off
with their broods the coops should be
carried into the barn during stormy
weather, and they should be SO con-
structed as to permit of carrying the nens
and chicks in the coops. No matter how
closely hen may hover her chicks, she
cannot protect them in winter when they
are exposed to severe cold, and the chicks
will sometimes become chilled during the
day when they are picking up bits out
side of the coop. All coops for hens
with broods should be we'll Uttered with
cut hay, and every care used to have
them as warm as can be. When the hen
is sitting, her nest should be in a warm
place and her food placed where she can
reach it without being compelled to go
very far from the nest.-Farm and Fire

For all who suffer, hope and charity!

THE ROOT GROWTH OF CORN.

It is quite we'll known that GROWING
corn is often injured by deep plow-
ing, but no instance is remembered
where the reasons for it have been better
given than has been done by the Illinois
Experiment Station. The purpose of
the experiments was to ascertain the
number of the roots of corn and their
depth at the points where they are
likely to be disturbed by deep culti-
walton.
Nine plants, which averaged twelve
inches high, had altogether ninety-four
roots, or an average of over ten apiece.
The longest was traced thirty -five inches
when the plant was twenty-five inches
high. A plant four and quarter inches
high had a root thirteen inches long.
Three-fourths of the roots would not
have been broken by cultivating three
inches deep, but all except one would
have been at four inches.
Seven other plants had ninety-seven
roots, of which seventy eight were
traced, with few exceptions, their en-
tire length. Rather more than three
fourths of the roots would not have been
broken by cultivation three inches deep;
nearly two, thirds would have been at
four inches. Over one third were four
inches deep at six inches from their base.
Three went straight down.
The, roots Except those at the seed,
which afterwards die start usually at
from one to two inches from the surface.
without reference to the depth at which
the seed has been planted. In case the
seed has been planted deeper than this,
the stem is simply elongated between the
first or seminal whorl, and the second or
Grst modal whorl. Thus, unless necessi-
tated by dryness, nothing Is gained by
planting corn over three inches deep.
Deeper planting would merely require of
the plants extra force and time to reach
a position where the roots which eventu-
ally nourish them will grow.-New York
World.

THE FARM and GARDEN.
VALUE OF MARSH MOD AS rERTrL1zET

VALUE OF MARSH MOD AS rERT1LIZER.
The sediment of salt marshes contains
sufficient fertilizing matter to pay for
getting it on to the land. This mud,
when drained and dried so as to be
easily handled, contains three pounds of
phosphoric acid and eight pounds nitro
gen in ton, which are worth $3.50,
while it can be dug and hauled for thirty
cents. 1t has been used with useful ef-
feet upon grass lands, pastures, and on
light sandy soils. Mud which contains
any considerable quantity of organic
matter, as shellfsh, sea weeds, etc., is
worth considerably more than the amount
above men toned. There is no danger
Of using too much of it.-Nep York

"The Needles Eye"

The name "Needles Eye" is given to
a subterraneous passage on the coast of
Banffshice, $50 yards long from sea to
sea, but through which a man can, with
difficulty, creep. At the north end of
the Needles Eye there is cave twenty
feet high, thirty broad and $50 long.
The whole of this passage and cave is
supported by immense columns of rocks,
making a grand scene which has sur
prising effect on one who has crept
through the narrow passage.-&. Louis

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES,

There is more in feed than in breed.
Sulphur in the nests is a good remedy
for lice.
A little care in shutting fowls up at
the start will teach them to lay in the
house.
Fowls with a frozen comb will not lay,
so don't expect hens to lay when they
| are half frozen.
Cold, wet, improper feed with filth
are the four leading causes of disease
among poultry.
Fresh earth in which the hens can
wallow and scratch will be found of con-
siderable benefit.
Thriftier and more vigorous chicks
will be secured if the eggs used for
Matching are fresh.
Variety is the very spice of life, so
don't feed corn all the time. Give your
fowls change of food.
The gizzard of the fowl masticates
the food, but this can only be done with
plenty of sharp, gritty material.
A very important point in breeders is
size, evenness in color, and hardness if
you want healthy, robust fowls.
Notice how the fowls will congregate
in the open shed in some sunny place.
If you have no shed make one.
Raise plenty of turnips, beets, and
other roots for the hogs. They make
cheap food and are sure crop.
By selecting eggs for Matching from
the hens that lay the earliest and best,
a decided improvement can be made in
the breed.
Hens and poultry of every kind will
not thrive if kept in dark, close quarters.
They need plenty of fresh air and light
to thrive we'll.
A valuable liquid manure for pot plants
is made by putting one teaspoonful of
ammonia to two quarts of water when
watering the plants.
Try starting some early plants by SOW
ing seed in boxes, and placing the boxes
in the house window. Quite a large
number can be secured in that manner.
The Neao England Farmer says the
total gross cash income per cow for the
animals contributing to the Connecticut
creameries the past year, has been
S43.20.
The future of dairying must be in the
line of perfection. Every man must feel
that upon him personally depends the
perfectness of the methods that are to
prevail.
Potatoes are recommended for feeding
cows for four or five weeks before calv-
ing as preventive for milk fever Any
sort of feed that will prevent ccstiveness
is good.
The greatest problem on the farm at
the present day IS the wood problem.
More time, labor and money are spent on
weeds than on crops, yet much of this
expense could be avoided.
If the pigs insists On roofing up me
pig-pen make him do so in dry litter, and
not In pen that is wet and filthy. Keep
the pig-pen well supplied with leaves,
c1t straw, weeds or anything tina: viii
help to make manure.
