Farm Notes.

IL II liquid manure is used for water

particular care from the start, if they
make good growth. So
1t is the safest wisest and most eco.
nomical plan for the farmer to grow

One of the most important requi.
sites in keeping cattle for profit, is to
keep the right kind of cattle.
Keeping a dairy is a business that
the farmer should know something
about before investing too largely.
Delay in feeding at the regular time
causes the hog to become uneasy and
restless, ii he does not put in the time

Hogs that are fed good variety of
food. supplied with pure water and
given warm. dry shelter, will not gen.

E In many cases if farmers knew the
feeding value of different foods, stock
could often be put on the, market at a
better profit. II .s.>.-..
q BY planting in long straight rows
and using the garden cultivator the
work of giving clean cultivation may
be greatly reduced.
One of the principal reasons for
trees only bearing every other year is
that they exhaust themselves by over
bearing and it requires year to re-
cuperate.
If a young tree is growing very fast

RIDING A BICYCLE.

that when he had last been on one he
did not know how to ride very we'll,

friend he said with an air of great en-

back to the road he said: Pm near

three round trips. he sang out with
great glee: And now we are at the,

you?"
Yes" was the answer, spoken
quietly. Now get of.
But look of pain came into the,
other S face. He had forgotten about
that clause in the condition. He did
not try to get off just then. He went
little distance up the road and then
came back. He slowed down. until
the machine began to wobble, and then
he started up suddenly. He tried to
make up his mind to get off several
times. but his courage failed him. and
his heartless friend watched him with
a calm smile around his lips.

Rules for stock Farmers,

An Eastern gentleman has framed a
set of rules for live stock breeding
which may be summarized as follows:
Love for the animal bred constitutions
al vigor; good disposition on the part
of the animal we suppose he means
but it is just as necessary on the part
of the breeder; breed from the best
animals. never from broken down
one; use only full blood males; never
breed from animals having inherited
tendencies to disease; breed from fully
matllred animals; give farm animals
and especially breeders the very best
care. and allow them to lie down in
peace in our pastures and stable with
the feeling that they are among friends
This rule should be strictly enforced
with animals that are bearing young.
Do not excite them or make them fear
ful, but keep them quiet and comfort

Good Bone in Horses,

Justin Morgan, says a writer in the
New York Times. was rare type of a
most useful horse. and perhaps the
most valuable sire of any we have had,
was small animal. but he was known
as the strongest and most robust horse
in a locality famed for it's useful work
animals No other horse hitched with
him could pull the weights he drew
with ease. and none made as good time
upon the road as he He. is said to
have been bundle Of sinews and mus
Giles upon very light frame of the
most solid bone and strangers were
amazed to see the little horse walk
off with loads which larger but not
heavier, horses could not move This
is the real test of value in a horse
strength, lively action. and endurance
all combined in the lightest weight
possible. 1t is precisely the same
qualities as those which go to make
up the best type of steam engine,
which is in fact, an artificial horse
with bones and nerves, sinews and
muscles of the toughest iron and
strongest and most elastic steel.
Food makes the animal Breed
gives the capability of changing food
into the most available force, no
doubt but the best-bred horse will
degenerate unless he is supplied with
the best of food. We may question as
we like the deductions of science in
this direction, but the hard fact re-
mains that bone is made up of phos-
phate OF lime, and without this ele-
ment of bone tissue in the food we
can not build up strong. useful
horse. And so on with the muscle
and the vital organs. Grass Of the
best kind is the basis of feeding Of a.
horse, but we can have grass Of the
best kind only during three or four
months Of the year. and when we
come to winter feeding we must pro-
vide some other food equal or super
ior if possible, to it.
