HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS.

SHEEP may be rid of ticks very satis-
factorily by feeding sulphur, which
should be given in small quantities and
not too often.-Mortimer Lowering.
ONE days raliing with light rake
when the weeds are just beginning to
appear will save weeks work later on,
and any young plants grown as crop
will be benefited thereby. 1t is by talk
ing advantage of these minor matters
that labor is saved. In the field the
harrow will be found useful when weeds
are starting.
MILK can easily be tested for foreign
taints by heating small quantity to
temperature of ITO or 115 degrees. At
this temperature it will be very easy
for the average nose to tell what, if
anything, is the matter with the milk.
Milk tested in this way will reveal the
hog pen, the COW stable, filthy cans and
various other taints.
ACCORDING to DIR. Hoslins, three
ounces of hellebore dissolved in three
gallons of hot water will destroy onion
and cabbage root maggots as soon as it
touches them. Remove a portion of the
soil so as to give the water free access
to the roots. 1t can be poured in, but a
syringe helps in its application, gill or
so to the hill or plant.
GRASS is crop that can be produced
with less labor than grain, and no farm
is complete without grass of some kind.
Hay brings higher price, in proper
tion to cost, than any other crop except
fruits and vegetables, and when the hay
is fed to stock greater profit is made
1t should be the object of every farmer
to produce grass of some kind. If ore
variety will not thrive try another
IL a bushel of feed contains the ele-
ments for producing certain proper
tion of meat, butter or milk, it is
cheaper to feed it to one good animal
than to three or fonr inferior ones, as
each animal must be supported before
1t can become II producer. The fewer
the animals used to produce the great
est amount from proportion of food
the cheaper the cost of the articles pro-
duced.

SPEAKING TO HORSES.

Never Give Word of Command Unless 1t
Is Meant.
The horse is possessed of as good
hearing as his owner, usually, and can
be made to heed words of command
given in moderate tone as we'll as those
hurled at him with all the strength of
the drivers lungs. Some have gotten
in the habit of yelling at their horses as
if they were half mile away, and
seem to think it is the only way to get
along with a team. 1t may be, if the
horses have been educated in that way,
but there is no need of teaching them in
the first place.
! notice that the horses of such men
don't mind as well as those of their
milder-spoke neighbors; they seem to
have become used to the racket, and
found that nothing less than terrific
howl land maybe clod or cut of the
whip means much. 1t is noticeable
that children constantly scolded pay
least attention to rebukes and the same
holds good with dogs and horses in
obeying orders. believe as rule it is
best to speak to horses in tone some
what above the ordinary, always taking
care to make the command distinct.
Never give word of command unless
it is meant. Some men say whoa
when they don't mean for the horse to
stop at all; result is, when they say
whoa and mean it. the horse doesn't
always stop. Another thing is neces-
sary: when certain horse has heard,
always make him obey. Some horses
are like some men; they hear, but don't
heed, and it is necessary to wake them
up now and then. have never seen a
man yet that didn't sometimes get rat
tied and yell at his team with all his
power, nor team that wouldn't make
most any man lose his temper OCCASION
ally; but there is no need of either man
or team making a habit of it.-National
StoclSman Farmer.

CREATURES WITH HORNS.
They are Found Among Animals, Reptiles,
Birds and Fishes.

They are Found Among Animals Reptiles,
Birds and Fishes.
There are u good many queer things
to be told about horns, said Osteologist
Lucas to a Star writer Take the
horn of the rhinoceros, for example. 1t
is nothing more than protuberance
composed of agglutinated hair You
cut it in two, and, examining it's struct-
ure under the microscope, you find that
it is made up entirely of little tubes re-
sembling hair tubes. OF course these
are not themselves hairs, but the struct-
ure is the same. The horns of African
rhinoceros sometimes grow to the length
of four feet. From them the Dutch
Beers make ramrods and other articles.
You may remember that the handle of
the ak used by Umslopogaas in Allan
Quartermain' was rhinoceros horn. In
old times rhinoceros horns were en-
ployed for drinking cups by royal per-
sonages, the notion being that poison
put into them would show itself by bub-
bling. There may have been some truth
in the idea, inasmuch as many of the
ancient poisons were acids and they
would decompose the horny material
very quickly.
Several species of rhinoceroses, now
extinct and only found in fossil state,
used to exist which had no horns at all
The name, meaning as it does horned
nose is rather misnomer in their
case. Several kinds of rhinoceros in
Africa have two horns one behind the
other, but the extinct rhinoceros, known
as the dyceratherium, had pair of
horns on its nose side by side. Many of
the giant reptiles of long ago had enor-
nous horns. The great lizard known
as the triceratops had big horn over
each eye and little one on its nose.
The dynoceras and the tinoceras, gi-
gantic mammals of the tertiary epoch,
had three paws of prominences on their
heads, which are believed to have sup
ported horns. However, the material
of which horn is composed quickly
decays, being largely composed of gel
atine and other animal matter so that
these appendages are apt to be found
absent when the fossil bones of beasts
which had them are found.
''Some fishes have horns which are
act' ally outgrowths of bone on their
heads. The boXfsh, which inhabits
the warm waters of the globe-a little
fellow six or eight inches long has
horns an inch in length. Birds have
horns also sometimes The horned
screamer (which is related TO the duclS)
has single horn attached to its skull,
springing from cartilaginous base and
curving upward, 1t is really modified
feather, though true horn.
PLENTY of reptiles have horns. Liz
ards are very commonly provided with
them. There are chameleons with
three horns like the ancient triceratons.
Horned toads have sort of crest of
four horns on the back of their heads.
There is small African snake which
has two horns. No horned tortoise now
exists, but a fossil specimen was found
q while ago on Lord Howe's island, in
the Southern Pacific, which had four
horns on its crest, and resembles a cross
between horned toad and swapping
turtle Doubtless you have often heard
of human beings with horns. Such APP
pendages in their case are abnormal de-
velopments of bone" Washington

CARE OF TURKEYS.
How to Mako the Raising OF Young Birds

How to Make the Raising OF Young Birds
"a Success
A correspondent in the journal of
Agriculture gives the following direc-
tions for caring for young turkeys We
win go back and fix the nest to hatch
the young in; the eggs always hatch
better when the nest is made on the
ground with dry leaves or grass. This
Is the turkeys way Of making 1t when
left alone, and IL she is not disturbed
the eggs will hatch we'll; but some
times rats, foxes, etc, carry away the
eggs and destroy them when left alone
this way. Where this is the case, we
use a barrel turned on its side; in this
make nest of dirt three inches deep;
on the top of this cover with leaves and
dried grass, leave the barrel open at
one end for the hen to pass in and out
to get food during the dag, at night
have broad plank TO close the opening
TO protect the hen and eggs from dam
ger.
The earth should be keep moist by
sprinkling every few days, or when
needed. Aim to keep it as near as possi-
BILE like the ground if she had built her
nest the natural way. In this way the
eggs will hatch better the young turks
will not die in the shell, and they seem
stronger when first Matched. After the
little turks begin to chirp and come
rolling and tumbling out of the shell,
remove them from the nest as fast as
they are Matched and place in warm
box by the stove until all are hatched;
this prevents the hen from trampling
them to death before all the eggs are
Matched.
When the hen is ready to take from
the nest place her in a pen or small
yard with the young turks. Have the
pen so the little turkeys can run in and
out (they will not go far), but keep the
old hen confined for few days until
the young ones are strong enough to
follow on her long rambles she takes
after different kinds of food. They
must be protected from the morning
dews, and not let out until the sun has
died the grass. When strong enough
the hen can be given free range, but
should be driven up every night, and
they soon learn to come home every
night and go to the right place for

The man that makes poultry pay is
the man that keeps down the expense.
He can only give a just profit by doing
the work himself and employing reg
ular system. Three hundred hens give
him all the work he can master. If he

onions, potatoes and turnips save grain
bills. If he has large farm he raises
considerable, if not all the grain

fowls energetic. If he is lazy he makes
his fowls so. You can spoil poultry as
readily as You can children. Spoiled
chickens are not profitable. e.-Colman's

The Gypsy Moth.

The gypsy moth is one of the threat
ening caterpillars on which American
farmers have had their eye for some
time. Massachusetts even keeps a
gypsy-moth commission on duty. En-
tomologist Fernald, directed by the
commission to investigate the moth,
has discovered that homegrown par
asite is already threatening the dsstruc-
tion of these pestiferous moths. A
small fly lays its eggs on the back of
the caterpillar. If these eggs hatch,
as expected, and the parasites develop,
they will destroy the caterpillars be-
fore their transformation into the
moth, and another home industry will
be established.
