FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Cows WILL stand much higher feed
ing in winter and yield good profit
thereby if they have good pasture DUR
ing the summer and are given a rest
from grain food.
LET any intelligent person go over
the state, especially in winter, and
taste the butter on the hotel tables.
The result will be surprising and will
show the necessity for the establishing
of dairy schools in every school district

PROF. SHAW says: Scrub cattle are in
all probability the most expensive lux
ury by far that the farmers of the
United States have to-day. They cost
them more than all the monopolists
combined. Scrub stock is the leech
that sucks away at their prosperity 365
days in the year.
ONE of the most important things to
do is to take the herd of September and
October mixers and so handle them
during the autumn as not to materially
lessen the yield of milk. In the sta
bles for the winter, with regular feed
and care, good COWS will milk for

THE economists who in the early part
of this century feared a growth of pop

Mr.. Cameron rose, flung aside the
crumpled newspaper, and walked once

he said to himself with grim smile.
And he went off to business without

generally indulged.
Mrs. Cameron went out shopping in
the afternoon, and was detained a

seeding for a Pnrpose.

The Farm Journal suggests that seed
ing should be done for purpose. The
old way of sowing equal quantities of
timothy and clover is the best way for
meadow and to keep up the rotation
Of crops. Such seeding left for two
or three years will improve the land. A
shorter way to renovate the soil is to
seed only with clover and plow this un-
der the second year. This should always
be done or the clover will kill out and
the full benefits be lost When seeding
for u pasture, grasses should be selected
to go with the clover which will be
permanent and start up fresh when
eaten off. The best of this class are
orchard grass and red top Blue grass
stands at the head, where it is natural
for it to grow large. 1t is an indigen-
GUS grass everywhere, but in the north
ern and older states it is too small for
a meadow, but affords great deal of
pasture.

FARM IMPLEMENTS.
A Number of Receipts for Mixing Cheal
and Suitable Paints.

A Number of Receipts for Mixing Cheap
and Suitable Paints.
Answering a Michigan subscriber,
who asks for receipt for making
cheap paint for farm implements, we
give the following. Indian red is an
excellent dark red color suitable for
farm wagons and farm implements. So
is chrome green, of which there are
three shades. So also is brown. If
red is used the bolt heads, etc, may be
black to make the trimming.
If you decide to use green, take, say
two pounds medium shade dry chrome
green. Mix it to thick, mush-like
consistency with carriage rubbing
varnish, then thin the mixture with
turpentine, just enough to have it
work with the brush. Do not make it
too thin. A good plan is to test the
paint on piece of board, and add var
nish or turpentine until it dries with a
slight gloss-not too dead.
If red is desired, get the dry In dian
red and mix with carriage-rubbipg
varnish and turpentine, as in the green
If brown is wanted, mix a, little
lamp-black with the carriage-rubbing
varnish, add enough to the red in small
quantities to get the desired shade.
When ready to paint the implement,
thoroughly clean every part from dirt,
grease and loose paint An old knife
will do this well. Then rub each part
with No. 2 saudpaper, dust off thor
oughly and begin the painting, laying
on the paint evenly and with no more
brushing than just enough to cover the
surface. A coat of medium quality
carriage-finishing varnish, after the
coat of paint is dry, will cause it to
look better and last longer.-Farm.

surface be made of broken stone which
would average three-quarters of an
inch in diameter Macadam was more
particular about weight than about
size. His idea was that each stone
should be six ounces in weight, and,
with that end in view, his help carried
balances with which to test the weight
of the stone
In the Telford road it was evidently
the idea to put the large stones at the
bottom, in order to prevent the soft
ground from working through. BY not
breaking this stone labor is saved, but

eAMeoLs OF ANIMALS.
Fawns Play at Gross Toueh. but Little Pig

Fawns Play at Cross Touch, but Little Pigs
Run Races.
In animals the faculty of amusement
wakes very enrly. Our four-footed
friends seem to be aware Of this and
make IL part Of their parental duties
to amuse their young A ferret will
play with her kittens, a cat with hers, a
dog with her puppies. A mare will play
with her foal, though the writer from
whom we quote never saw D COW try to
amuse her calf, nor any birds their
young. IL mothers do not amuso them
the young ones invent games of their
own. A flock Of ewes and lambs was also
observed in adjoining fields, separated
by fence with several gaps in it. Fol
low my leader" was the game most In
favor with the flock, the biggest lamb
leading around the field and then jump
ing the gap, with all the others following
in single file. Any lamb that took the
leap unusually we'll would give two or
three more enthusiastic jumps out Of
sheer exuberant happiness when IL
reached the other side.
Fawns play sort Of cross touch from
one side to the other, the touch" in
each case being by the nose. Little
pigs are also great at combined play,
which generally takes the form of races.
Emulation seems to form part of their
amusement, for their races seem al
ways to have the winning of the first
place for their object, and are quite
different from those combined rushes
for food and causeless stampedes in
which little pigs are won't to indulge.
Racing is an amusement natural to
some animals, and being soon taught
by others, becomes one of their most
exciting pastimes. Many horses and
all racing dogs learn to be as keen at
winning as school-boys. Birds delight
in the free and fanciful use of their
wings. There is all the difference pos
sible between the fight of birds for
business" or pleasure, and many kinds
