many herds there are often one or more
cows which only a certain member of the
family can milk. This indicates very
plainly that some one is mild tempered,

A box located at some accessible point

gorge themselves, causing arrangement

not be applied to the teats to reduce the

FEEDING VALUE OF CoRxsrALxs.

The feeding value Of cornstalks is a
subject which receives an endless amount
of discussion and upon which a great
variety OF opinions have been expressed.
The subject is we'll worthy of coasidera-
ton both on account of the immense
quantity OF cornstalGs produced every
year and also by reason of the great val
ue which they may have to their owners.
The principal reason for the great differ
ence in opinion which farmers express in
regard to the usefulness Of the stalks for
feeding is found in tae tact that the real
value ~ different lots Of stalks varies
fully as much as do the opinions of their
owners. Some lets are clean and bright,
and contain a large amount Of nourish-
meat in a palatable and easily digesti-
bic form. Osner lots a=e so bleacaed
and damaged by exposure to the san and
storms as to be uupalatable and innutri-
tious. There is as much difference in
the value Of these two grades Of stalks
as there is between hay that has been
properly cured and stored and that
which Las been 50 long exposed to the
weather as TO have los. It's natural color
and been deprived OF nearly all of its
nutritious qualities. The trouble with
the cornstalks thai cattle do not like
aud from eating which they receive little
or no benefit, is due to bad curing or
too long exposure in the field. The
smaller varieties usually have larger
proportion of valuable feeding material
than the giant sorts, but the latter, If
properly cared for, will furnish a good
deal of food which cattle will like and
upon which they will thrive. The man
who husks his corn early and puts the
stalks under cover, or in stacks which
will turn the rain, will have some valua-
BILE material with which to supplement
his crops of hay aud graln.-American

Treat TIE COWS KINDLY.

Cows are naturally of the kindest. dis
position of any four legged animal upon
the farm, and they should be treated
kindly and not abused by the mixers
and drivers. The practice of sending a
dog after them and allowing him to rush
them into the milk yard, exhausted and
excited, is practice that will cost each
year fron ten to twenty-five pounds of
butter for every COW MIXED. Drive the
cows leisurely TO and from the pasture.
If you are in hurry let the driver make
double quick time when he is going to
and from the field not ccompanied By
the COWS. The throwing of stones, sticks
or other missiles should be forbidden, and
the operation of milking should be done
rapidly and with but little or no talking.

SHOULD HOGS HAVE SALT?

Salt has often been called nature 5
vermifuge, aud it is no doubt fact, be-
cause long experience with domestic an
finals has shown that all herbivora, when
deprived of salt, will sooner or later suf-
fer from the presence of intestinal
worms. Swine ale not an exception to
the general rule, aud salt is just as nee =
essary for them as it is for cattle, as it
not only destroys intestinal parasites, but
aids digestion, and prevents intense
acidity Of the stomach. When hogs are
fed Stops from the kitchen they get con-
siderable salt, but when fed exclusively
upon grain, especially at the time of fat
tening, each animal should be given
about one ounce Of salt daily, mixed with
its food or the water given it to drink. If
farmers would pay more attention to the
chemistry Of the food given to their
hogs, they might escape severe losses
from such common diseases as cholera,
catarrh and erysipelas.-New YORK Sun.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Transplanting two or three times helps
in the formation of tibrous roots.
In growing berries for market the best
results are secured with a rich soil.
Generally in transplantjng it is best to
set the plants down to the first leaf.
By keeping different kinds of stock
the pastures will not become patchy.
To keep flock making profit re-
quires careful selection and close culling.
Mulching newly set trees during hot,
dry weather often saves them from dying.
Allowing them to grow too thick is
one cause OF failure IN growing root crops.

horses could be rescued easily in case Of

sticks before you turn the horses out for

The real friend of the farmer is he that

and frugal.
A man does not take goo1 care of a
horse should not have the pleasure Of

If you can sell direct to the consumer

Otherwise you take great risks.

A leather top Of buggy requires care
full and regular attention to keep it in
good condition. 1t is much injured by
the ammonia vapors OF a stable, and
therefore should be kept in a separate
house or shed where it is not exposed to
the weather. 1t should always be cleaned
when brought If from use, especially if
it has been splashed with mud. This
acts like a blister and takes the color from
both cover and body. The cover is first
washed with rose nozze and force
pump, but not with hard stream that
will force the dust or sand in the leather.
This will quickly spoil it. When tne
dirt is washed Oft in this way it is once
more rinsed with clean wafer and then
left to dry, or is softly wiped with linen
cloth or a chanois skin. 1t is then wiped
softly with = soft sponge and castor oil.
This is done while the leather is damp.
It will not crack, aud will keep its color
and gloss under this treatmeut.-New

MAST FED PORK.

There is good nut crop in many parts
OF the country this year. In early times
when woods were more plentiful than
now, many farmers let their pigs pick up
much Of their living in the woods. They
became quite fat when frost loosened the
burs of nuts. Pigs Eed thus made the
sweetest and best pork. 1t needed some
corn feeding to give required tirmness to
the fat. This made the pork GO farther
for two reasons. 1t did not fry away so
much in the pan and it was not SO good
to eat as the sweeCer nut-ted pork

INFLUENCE OF OATS AND BRAN ON MILK.
1t is quite we'll understood that the
quantity Of food consumed influences the
yield of milk and that certain foods and
grasses influence the color Of butter.
Numerous experiments exhibit results to
prove that an increase of the same ration
will increase cows milk yield, but not
the quality of that yield. By few it
is believed that the quality OF the milk
can be changed very percepuibIy by
changing ratlons. Others maintain that
the quality of milk depends solely, or al
most so, on the Individual animal, some
giving rich milk, others poorer article.
At the Colorado Station experiments
were made with four COWS, for the pur-
pose of testing the comparative effects
of wheat bran and oat chop Chat is,
ground oats) on the fat of milk. For
the first period the ration morning, noon
and evening was two pounds of oat chop
and all the alfalfa hay they would eat
and all the water desired, but with no
other food. For the second period clear
wheat bran Containing no shorts was
substituted for the oat chop.
From study of the tabulation it ap-
pears that the quality of the milk was
quite perceptibly influenced by the
change of II Y given these cows. In
each case the cheat bran produced the
best result in the production of fat in the
milk; there is also evidence extant that
bran causes better flow of milk than
oats. While the COWS gained in weight
on the oar chop, each lost few pounds
on the bran ration. Tie difference in
either case could have been caused by
the difference in water drank at single
time.-New ork World.

Tho Democratic Tariff Plank.

The tariff plank as reported by the
majority OF the committee on platform
was such declaration as would suit no
real protectionist. 1t aroused to savage
fury tho leaders of the free trade le-
gions, and tho fight was on.
The country owes debt OF gratitude
to the men who made and won the fight
for the minority report. As Mr.. Wat
terson has said moro than once, the
Democraticsperty is a free trade party
or it is nothing. Parties should say
what they mean and mean what
they say.
Tho Democratic party means free
trade. As often as it has chance to
vote on the tariff it votes for free trade.
There are men in this country who pro-
iess to want FREQ trade. They look
naturally to the Democratic party to
give it to them, and that party in Con-
eress, also in the White House when
Mr.. Cleveland was there, has sought to
dose the country with tho British ar
ticle.
1t is fair for the convention to say
through its platform that the Demo-
cratic party holds tOnaciously to tho
musty Bourbon doctrine that the gov
eminent has no right to levy a tariff
that is not for revenue only.
Tho adoption of the minority report,
embodying the kentucky British idea
Of the tariff, makes the issue fair aud
square between protection and free
trade.
The Republican party is for protec-
lection. The Democratic party is for
FREQ. trade.

you askfor through the ballot box?
