IT is not always the man who looks

NEST people don't know this, so that it
will pay you to look just as wise as you

THE experiment of Professor Cooke,
of the Vermont station, showing slightly
better results from feeding sour milk
than sweet milk has caused much COM
ment.
If you don't try to interest your boys
in the care and handling of the horses,
you need not expect to see them take
any interest in horses when they be-
come men.
IT is certainly to be considered that
oats are valuable food for horses: if
for no other reason, because they can
be fed very freely without danger of
injury to health.
LIME in some form is an essential to
the health of all poultry. Keep it con.
stantly before your flock. Every bit of
old plastering, ETC., should be dumped
into the poultry yard.
THEODORE LOUIS, the expert hog
grower of Wisconsin, calls attention to
the fact that the advantage in favor of
SOUR milk was obtained by feeding corn
meal in connection with it,
IN France, where the forward axle of
the wide-tired wagons used for heavy
teaming are made shorter than the rear
one, the four siXinch rims in passing

wide.
The hog, besides giving us meat and
lard, has many other valuable qualities
and claims the special attention of the
farmer. One of these qualities is it
produces number of young at one
birth.

THE Jersey Bulletin tersely put it in
this way s. The shorter the time be-

Ripening and rotting begin and end

THE little boomlet that the Canada
pea underwent last spring seems not to
amount to much. No doubt pea-meal
is fine cow-feed, particularly for but
ter cows, but Canada peas need a Ca
madam climate to grow them profitably
in, and the Middle states are not {" in it,"
A. ?. CoLBURN of Blackhawk county,
Iowa, says he has demonstrated that
cattle can be relieved from bloat caused
by over-eating new corn by starting
them into a run and keeping them
moving rapidly until relief comes. We
have often cured horses of collie in the
same way.
GRATITUDE and blessings" says
Henry Talcott, will fall in copious
showers from long suffering but pa

ORDER in the house and order out
side on the farm sometimes 90 hand
in hand, but often they do not. If the
farmer likes and demands an orderly
house, why should not the farmers
wife demand an orderly kept farm

As there is Just so much butter in
bushel of feed, if we can get it out
more profitably by feeding it to one
cow instead of three or four, we make
that much gain, because in one case
we have only one cow to supply with
the life ration while in the other we
have three or four.
DAIRYMEN find that during dog
day weather, even when there is no
thunder, it is just as difficult to keep
milk as it is during thunder-storms;
and they also find that scrupulous
cleanliness in regard to the milk YES
sells is the best possible remedy against
souring during thunderstorm.
GREAT BRITAIN imported in 1891
S4S 1868, 234 worth of bacon. OF this
Canada and the United States supplied
large amount. Denmark sent over
100000 pounds, for which she re-
ceived AN average of twelve cents a
pound. The Canadian bacon averaged
eight and oue-fourth cents, and that
