CRIB BITING HORSES.

Crib biting in horses is sometimes an
acquired habit, and colts will learn it
from older animals with whom they are
associated in The stable or field. Horses
that are kept much in the stable without
active exercise will sometimes for mere
amusement bite the stall or manager, and
follow it up from day until it becomes a
habit very difficult to break up. In
other cases it is due to indigestion, the
result of poor food, water, or over feed
ing without sufficient exercise; in fact,
excuses Of any kind may lead to indi-
gestion and crib biting, and thence to
the serious vice of wind sucking. A
confirmed cribber is nearly always wind
sucker, and this leads to digestive disor-
ders and loss of flesh and health. For
treatment cover all the woodwork within
reach of the horse when in stable with
sheet iron and in way to prevent him
from getting hold of it with his teeth.
Place a lump of rock salt in his manger,
or where he can reach and lick it as often
or as much as he chooses. In another
box place lump Of white chalk, and
then sprinkle all the hay and oats given
with water or little magnesia and water.
The animal should also have plenty of
exercise, and if he has to stand in the
stable for day or two at a time put on
muzzle after he has eaten his ration; but
the constant supply of salt and chalk
will usually effect cure without the use
of other remedies and preventives. -

HARVESTING APPLES.

The apple is the great, the important
fruit of this country, yet it is a fruit that
is shamefully abused. Although the
apple harvest commences IN summer the
harvesting of the summer and autumn
crops is but like the skirmishing that
proceeds the great pitched battle COM
pared to that of harvesting the winter
fruit. Apple growers are little afraid
to suffer their fruit to hang until fully
grown by reason of the danger of their
being blown off by high, autumnal winds.
Apples increase very much in size after
many suppose that they are fully grown.
The orchardist having many apples to
pick should be amply provided with lad

LONK SHEEP.

The Lonk is one of the varieties of
sheep that have existed from time i'm
memorial in all the mountainous regions
of Asia and Europe, and is confined al
most entirely to the higher ranges of the
Cumberland, Westmoreland and York
shire hills in England. The Rocky
Mountain sheep is the American repre-
sentative of the same group. All of
them have horns on the male; those of
the female are less developed in nature
The natural Lonk is of little commercial
importance, but is annually shown at the
Royal Society's Shows, more as a curios-
ity than anything else. AS selection
and improved breeding came into play
the horns were bred off and the wool
became less hairy, till the modern breed
became fixed in type.-4merjcan Agri-

ders, both self-supportipg and those
which lean against the branches, and
with suitable baskets, hooks and small
ropes to let down the handled baskets
from the tree. The fruit should be
picked and placed, not dropped, in the
baskets, and great care should be exer-
cised in pouring into larger baskets or
into barrels not to bruise the fruit. IL
the apples are to be sorted and barrelled
Immediately, it is we'll to have a canvas
table, one end lower and narrower than
the other, with a sharp, conscientious
man to do the asserting. 1t is best poll
icy to make, at least, three classes of
fruit, first, second and third, or cullens.
The first should be so sound. large and
fair as to command extra price. The
second should be free from bruises or
rotten spots, but with some imperfec-
tons, such as gnarly spots, scab spots
and wormhole or two. The third
should include windfalls, somewhat
bruised, yet suitable for evaporating. In
barrelling, the fruit should be lowered
into the barrel in the basket before it is
emptied. There is no objection to fore
ing the end layers, provided those layers
are fair representations of the fruit
throughout the barrels, but do not COM
NIT the folly of placing large, fair apples
on the ends and small imperfect ones in
the middle. If you do, be sure your sin
will find you out, and if it failed to ex-
pose you to others, it would lower your
own self-respect.
1t Is good plan to press in the head
before moving the barrel, whether to the
market, barn or fruit house, for to move
them unheaded is to expose them to
shaking and bruising. If stored awhile
before marketing have the store room as
cool and uniform in temperature as pos
sible, and remove the heads so that the
moisture caused by the process OF ''sweat
ing, so-called, may evaporate. The mois-
ture is caused by the cooler fruit con-
dcnsing the vapor in the surrounding

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
PREVENTION OF HOG CHOLERA.

This disease may be more EASILY pre-
vented than cured. One important
thing is to protect the animals from con-
tagion, against which no remedy is eff
fective. The hogs are to be kept dry
and clean, the feed troughs must be
washed out frequently, pure water Is to
supplied, and good thing is bathing
trough for use, instead of filthy pud-
die, and this should be kept filled with
clean water daily. Some charcoal once
a day will be useful, and gorging with
food is to be avoided.-Ne1 York Times.

AND now they say that the prestige
of lawn tennis is beginning to fade
that the game Las become so scientific
that the less expert are losing interest
in it, the fad is declining, and tennis
will take its place with croquet, arch
cry, and Newport hunting and the
dead political booms of the past.
Meanwhile angling is growing in pop
ularity. and the ranks of the fishermen
are increasing. There are two recrea~
tons - fishing and shooting which
never grow old; they have sure lease
of life; they will last so long as nature
shall have a charm for man.

SHARP GRIT.

Even on stony ground the hens may,
by daily foraging over the same space,
use up ell the available material that is
serviceable as grit. Smooth, round
gravel is not suitable. Hens require
something sharp and cutting, or they
will be unable to properly masticate
their food. The broken china and
crockery may be utilized with advantage
for grit By pounding it into small pieces
about the size of beet seed), and scat
tering it wherever the hens forage, as
they will search for and find every piece

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


How to put horse ''on his mettle:"
Shoe him.
It's bad idea to lock the stable door
after the horse is stolen. What if the
thief should repent and bring back the
horse
How about those winter lambs you
mean to turn off early next spring. Now
is the time for coupling if you wish the
best prices.
The sheep is dainty feeder and
clearly in all its habits. 1t cannot sub
sist on filth, nor can it long survive in
filthy quarters.
Do not expect too many eggs. Occa-
lay great number of eggs, but this is
the exception rather than the rule.
Do apples pay? No, as the masses
treat their orchards; yes, abundantly,
when given anything like the intelligent
care that makes any other farm crop pay.
Poultry like fruit of all kinds, espec-
tally apples, which at this season can
nearly always be fed to a good advan-
tage when more or less is going to
waste.
Pullets that are expected to furnish
eggs during the winter must be reasona-
bly, we'll matured by this time; late
maturing pullets will not lay until
spring.
Of the Cochins, the partridge
is the best for layers. the butts
the best table fowls, followed by the
whites and blacks; one advantage they
all have is their size.
There is no advantage in feeding tur-
keys for an extra large size. Medium
fowls in good condition bring the best
prices per pound, and when there is an
overstock sell the more readily.
Every farmer should have the conven-
fence of an icehouse. The best way is
for a few neighbors to join and build,
fill, and use the same. Ice in summer
is cheap-almost necessary-luxury.
1t does not pay to allow the hens to
sit now; break them up at the start.
Late Matched chickens rarely prove
profitable unless we accept bantams.
This month will do very well for them.
Leghorns, Wyandottes and light Brah-
mas are all good steady layers; Minorcas,
Spanish and Houdans lay the largest
eggs; Plymouth Rocks are good layers.
Lanshans are among the best winter
layers.
Keep the March and early April pull
lets for laying. If given comfortable
quarters they will lay regularly the
greater part of the winter. Late
Matched pullets will rarely lay before
spring.
If you have tried alfalfa Qucern) and
failed, try it again On new plan. Put
out only little, SOW in rows and keep
clean by hoeing, until it has made a
good start. After that it will take care
Of itself.
Gather up and store the sorghum
blades without threshing. Picking off
the seed will help to give the fowls ex-
ercise during the winter, besides supply
ing them with good ration store where
it will keep dry.
Iron for roofs is Objectionable because
it expands in heat and contracts by cold,
cutting off tie nails that hold it down.
The reason for the short duration OF
paper and tar roofs is that the life of the
tar is destroyed by the suns rays.
A large proportion of the poultry sent
to market from now on until cold
weather will be in very poor condition,
and this is one leading cause for low
prices. A little better feed and care
would greatly improve the quality

Our Postal Affairs.

There is a point beyond which
forbearance ceases to be virtue
and should give place to righteous
indignation, which translated into
common parlance means that we
are getting mighty tired of the
management, or rather misman-
agement of the postal service be-
tween Brownstown and this point
We have had no mail for week
now, and such state or affairs is
becoming too burdenseme to be
borne by our citizens with spir-
it of meekness. In the name of
justice and all the gods together
is there no remedy for this thingg
If the postal department intends
to run this route, it is high time
that something were done to
make our service prompt and eff
ficient and if Uncle Sam is CO.
ing to- keep up this farce any
longer, let us know it and we
will invite him to. step down and
out and let us manage onr own
service as we have to do now,
when when we want any mail.
Our present prcdicament suggests
two radical defects in our postal
service: first, allowing non-resi-
dents. who have no interests in
common with our people and
don't care a copper whether or
not we ever get our mail, to-hid
in these routes; and, second, the
failure to punish employees for
wilful negligence in transmitting
mail matter. Such negligence is
certainly a public offense, mas
much as the interests of the peo-
pie at large and of our business
men especially are seriously dam
aged thereby, and all such offens-
es should be made -iHdietable and
punished by heavy penalties. If
the government expects us to be
good loyal citizens and to have
reverence for those in authority
over US, in the name of all that is
right. give us something for which
to be thankful.
