THE FARM AND GARDEN.
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO THE
FARMER.
How to Selecta Cow--Feed for
Cows Before calving What
We Should Do Farming by
Electricity--Farmin
Without Pigs.
How to Select a Good Cow.

The following we find in an exchange:
The head Dian extremely good COW
should be small, as the best mixers
are fine boned. It should also be long
and 1.cut up under the neck, with a
dish;ng face. The neck should be thin
and comparatively long. The hips
should be high. The hind legs OF the
COW that is best for dairy purposes,
should be somewhat crooked, and it
was here that breeders IN making
selections, often make mistakes BY
preferring cattle with a leg quite
straight up and down behind. There
should be a slight "sag" to the belly,
but the animal should be on the whole
a little wedge-shaped from back to
front, the hip being higher than the
shoulder, and the line from belly to
brisket inclining upward. The tails
OF dairy cattle are generally
OF pretty good length, with
a considerable taper. It is Important
in selecting for breeding that all these
points should be known, it being inn
possible to make the best purchases
by symmetry alone There are four
points that should be especially stud
led, and which serve as infallible indi-
cations ofmilking qualities. First. the
milk Veins, so-called, passing from the
forward side of the udder along the
under side of the animal toward the
front. They are either small or large,
straight or crooked. Consider the
size of these veins, for the size is one
Of the infallible tests OF a good mixer.
Becareful to see whether the vein is
double or not, for it sometimes
branches out, and if double, the two
should be added together, because
they may be equal to one large vein.
The veins sometimes form an angle on
the front side OF the udder. This sell
dom occurs, except on q very good
COW. On calves and feshy cattle it is
difficult to find the veins. therefore the
test can only be applied to cows in
milking condition. A net work of
veins on the perineum is q good test
and indicates milk The chine, reach
ing from the shoulder half way to the
hip should be examined. If it
be double, the COW is above the aver
age, sometimes with a single chine is q
depression into which two fingers can
be laid, if the animal is not too fat.
This is good. 1t Indicates a lax phys
ical condition OF the animal, and this
is favorable for either milk or beef

Farming by Electricity.

Some OF our rising youngjournalists
are finding food for amusement in a
bill recently introduced by Senator
PETER, OF Kansas, providing for the
establishment Of an experimental
station for the purpose ofdetermining
if electricity can be proftably used
and applied as a motive power the
propulsion OF farm machinery. Now
we would like to place ourselves on
record with the opinion, that if con-
gress would make as liberal an appro-
priation for this purpose as it did for
certain idiotic experiments in ''rain-
making not long ago, which served
to make that august body the laugh
ing stock of the civilized world, and
the business could be put in charge of
some such intelligent and technically
trained electrical engineers as those,
for example, who have within a. few
years revolutionized our methods OF
municipal transportation, the ulti-
mate result would not be one whit less
valuable to the people of the United
States, than that of the historic ap-
preparation of $4,000 with which
Morse's experimental telegraph line
was built from Washington to Balti-
more half a century ago.

How to DESTROY Ants.

Those who are annoyed with ants
about their hives and honey, should
remember that they might be gotten
rid OF by the free use of salt. In the
spring of the year, especially, ants
will often be found in immense num-
bers above the od-chambers OF the
hives, between and over the honey
sections. We are not conscious of
ever having seen a colony OF bees that
we thought were harmed by the ants,
but certainly no one wants them
about when it can be prevented.
If the bees are OF any strength, they
will keep them away from the honey;
it is the heat coming from the colony
OF bees that the ants are after, as this
is great help in Matching out their
eggs. Although we have never known
the idea to be advanced, we are in
clined to the belief that the main
reason why ants dislike salt, is because
it is a preservative, and would pre-
vent the Matching Of their eggs.
Whether this theory is correct or not.
it is a fact that salt plentifully usedin
hive where they have taken up their
residence, will cause them to disap-
pear. Crates of honey may be piled
on the floor in a convenientplace, and
be IN no danger from these pests, ii
salt is first sprinkled on the floor

What a Horse can Do.

A horse will travel 400 yards in
four and onehalf minutes at walk,
400 yards in two minutes at a trot,
400 yards in one minute at a GALLON.
The usual work OF a horse is taken
at 20, 500 pounds raised one foot per
minute for eight hours per day. A
horse wild carry $50 pounds twenty
five miles per day<of eight hours. An
average draught horse will draw 1 :,
600 pounds twenty-three miles per
day ON a level road, weight included.
The average weight OF q horse Is i, 900
pounds, and his strength is equivalent
to that of five men.
The greatest amount a horse can
pull in a, horizontalline 900 pounds,
but he can only do this momentarily;
in continued exertion probably half
OF this is the limit. He attains his
growth in FIVE years, willlive twenty
five, average sixteen years. A horse
will live twenty-five days on water
without solid food, seventeen DAYS
without eating or drinking, but only
five days on solid food without drink

hay and straw. The middlings with

nish plenty OF material for the frame
work OF the fntus. a week or ten days
before thu calf is dropped. give the
COW two or three ears daily, Of soft
corn. Old farmers who have tried
this say that it is excellent to insure
easy parturition and freedom from
eaked bag and milk fever afterwards.
It relieves constipation caused by dry
feeding all winter, but the plan is easily
tried and can do no harm if it does no
good. II the COW is a deep mixer, do
not let her getfat before calving. That
IS the cause OF enormous losses, and
always. of the best animals. After.
danger OF parturition is past, a gener-
Gus feed will soon bring the COW up to
the greatest milk production Of which
she is capable.

Utility of Rats.

1t has often been said that the glove
makers of Paris make use in their
trade of the skins OF rats which are
caught in the sewers, but this has
been denied. Certainly the material
would not be strong enough to
successfully counterfeit tho kid unless
it were for the thumb part only, which
is generally of a, thinner and different
kind of leather from the rest.
A thrifty Welshman at one time
exhibited himself publicly in England
attired in a costume composed from
top to toeno ratskins, which he had
spent three years and q half collecting.
The dress was made entirely by him
self It consisted of hat, neckerchiet,
coat, WaisGcoat, trousers. tippet,
CATERS, and shoes. The number OF
rats required to complete the suit
was five hundred and seventy. Most
curious Of the garments was the
tippet, composed entirely Of rats
tails.

Farming Without Pigs.

A somewhat eccentric farmer which
we once knew took the thoroughly
Jewish view OF the hog as an unclean
animal and would neither eat it's flesh
nor have one about his place. Most
ofwhat usually went to the pig pen
was given to the poultry. Reclaimed
that his hens laid more eggs than they
would if obliged to travel and feed
over land contaminated by the hog.
Our experience has always been that
a few pigs at least, enough to eat the
skim milk from the dairy and be fat
tened mainly on small apples and po-
tatoes-could be kept with scarcely
any cost. Such pork is sweet and not
unhealthful. It is the keeping of large
droves OF hogs together, feeding them
on ground that has been poisoned by
their excrement that gives rise to dis
eased pork and creates the dislike
against pork as a food. No other
animal furnishes SO much or so good
meat for, the food it eats as the pig
