mistakes of Dairymen.

There are many dairymen who
make the serious mistake OF not pro-
vidlng properly for liberal feeding in
the autumn. Consequently, when
the grass Is gone and the unfavorablo
weather sets In. their cows begin TO
shrink rapidly in their milk. Often
the flow is reduced TO q point where
it does not pay to continue milking
them, and they are permitted to grow
dry when, with proper feeding, there
would be several months of profitable
work yet before them. Besides this,
the price OF dairy products begins to
come up at this time, and cows that
are kept in milk pay we'll for the
extra trouble and expense OF feeding.
Some succulent food Is needed at this
time, to take the place of the grass
to which they have been accustomed
all summer as sudden change to
dry feed Will lessen the flow of milk,
however liberal the ration may be.
Roots answer good purpose at this
time, as will also cabbage. green-cOrn
fodder, ensilage, etc. 1t is not ditii-
cult to prepare for autumn feeding,
but it demands little forethought.
1t is one Of those cases, so frequently
occurring on the farm. where serious
loss is occasioned by the neglect to
plan in advance.

Where there is a surplus of fruit,
which the grower cannot sell in a
green state, or work up into jam, pre-
serves or dry IL, 1t Will be more or less
loss to the grower Farm and
Home cannot too strongly impress
upon fruit growers the necessity of
trying To preserve some of thi; sur
plus for future use by drying. by
curing 1t in this way it will keep good
for long time.

vice for this purpose, and Is much
used IN some sections. 1t consists of

Experiment with Glover.

The superiority of clover as a fer
tilizer is shown by an experiment
made by that well-known cloverer, Il.
e. Terry, OF Ohio. He tells a re-
porter Of the Rural New Yorker
''that three years ago a measured
half acre, the end OF "A field recently
seeded TO clover was seeded with
twenty loads OF good manure, and, in
the spring, plowed and set to straw
berry plants. 1t was carefully titled
that season, but late frost the fol-
lowing season destroyed pretty much
oil the berries, consequently very liz
tie plant food was taken from the
half acre. In July QS9D this harf
acre was plowed and narrowed often
until time to seed to wheat. Dur
ing these two years the rest OF the
field, not having been MANFRED at
all, had grown a crop OF clover for
hay, the second crop being cut for
seed, and in 1891 an unusually large
crop of potatoes. Both portions were
prepared for wheat last fall and
seeded the same day - the
half acre that had been MANFRED at
the rate OF forty loads to the acre
aud had practically grown no crop.

Look After the Colts.

Colts are the most valuable live
stock on the farm, and while it does
not pay to neglect any stock, either
old or young, yet colts should receive
particularly good attention. They
should be treated so kindly that they
will come tn meet you in yard or pas
ture. This point is accomplished by
frequently giving them lump OF SUI
gar, an ear OF corn, or something else
they like. Halter-break them when
small, teach them to lead and stop at
the word whoa" leave them tied for
an hour or two at time, letting
them have something to eat while
being tied, and there will be little
danger Of their pulling at the halter.
At one year of age they can be ac-
customed to the bit, and may have a
light harness placed on them for a
few hours at time. The modern
practice Of driving them to vehicle
when only yearlings is bad, for, I'M
less extra care is used injury will be
the result. Colts should be accus-
toned to the sight Of umbrellas, and
to strange noises. Keep them grow
ing when both in and out of pasture.
Do not dose with medicine unless alb
solutely required and then only on
the advice of skillful veterinary.
Give them a name and always call
them by it.

The Barn Cat.

A barn cat always looks sleek and
fat and obtains its own living by
catching rats and mice. House cats
are usually fed so abundantly that
they have never been know to catch
a mouse, and about the only living
thing THY were ever known TO catch
was the canary bird. NotwithstAnd-
ing this act thev are allowed to live
simply because they know no BET. ter,
and are themselves pets. A good
active cat that will spend most OF its
time abouG the barn buildings, cid
ding them OF mice and other veriuin
is worth sc least S. per year to my
farmer. All families of cats are act
good moUsers, but when you are able
to obtain one OF family that is, take
it to the barn, provide nice wa rm
place for IL TO sleep, and take food to
it until 1t feels quite at horne.
Should it SO to the house carry it
back, and after time drive it to the
barn il it fceauents the house, and it
will soon learn that the barn is It's
home, and remain. there, catching its
living about the buildings and fields.
