FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Cabbage plants for late planting
may be started in the open air.
Prices for thoroughbred stock have
evidently fallen off several points.
Feed work horses oats, bran, hay
and other forage and not SO much
corn.
The harder and barer the surface
around bearing plum tree the better
it is, as the tree needs but little cult
walton.
Wherever the stock does not hold
the cion firmly the place should be
wrapped with cord covered with graft
ing wax.
Sprouts which start to grow on the
stock below the graft should be always
pinched off and be kept in check If
this is not done it saps the vitality of
the growing gratis.
Western fruit growers are irrigating
their orchards with the aid OF the
water-wheel. It is expected that fruit
growing on the dry lands along the
rivers will be rev olutionized by the
use of the water-wheel
A proper selection of food, prepared
in proper manner, has much to do
with keeping fowls in the pink of con-
dition, stimulating the egg organs to
greater activity, and sustaining the
strain on the function of egg produc-
ton.
Some people like to help chickens
out of the shell when they hatch with
difficulty. It is not safe to do much in
this direction; break the shell enough
for the chick to get his head out where
he can breathe, and leave the rest to
nature.
For the planter who looks after his
trees and cultivates them carefully a
small tree will bear just as early and
prove as valuable as the largest. But
if the trees are to be planted in sod
land, without cultivation or attention,
big trees viii stand the best chance of
living

WHEAT FOR YOUNG CHICKENS.

It is surprising that so much soft
feed is given to young chickens, and
that, too, by those who ought to know
better. Whole wheat will be readily
eaten by chicks old, and before that
time the grains pounded or cracked are
better than anything else. Because
the chicks are little it does not follow
that their digestion is weak. The first
twenty hours they live on the re-
mains of the yolk of egg, which is ex-
tremely hard to digest. Unless their
naturally strong digestion has some
thing to work on, the chick soon be-
comes sickly, "crop bound" and dies
Wheat is at all times the best feed for
making hens lay. In spring if fed to
young chickens the hens will thrive so
on their wheat that they will often
begin egg production before the chicks
are old enough to care for themselves.

BRINGING UP COLT AS HE SHOULD GO.
If you have ever seen a little colt
running after his mother in the
meadows, you know how very funny
he looks. He has long legs that seem
very crooked and uncertain, for they
point in all four directions at once. He
has no name to speak of, and only a
stubby little tail His coat is very
rough, for he has never been rubbed
down with brush, and though you
might look at him q great many times,
you would never believe that he could
grow into such a big, strong, hand
some horse as his owner tells you that
he will become some day.
The most important day in a colts
life is when he first learns to carry
a burden upon his back. A small lap
robe is strapped upon him, and he is
then let loose to tear up and down the
fields and shake it off if he can. Then,
a double blanket is strapped across
him like a saddle, and after a while he
can bear the weight of the saddle it.
self, and then the weight of a boy

will roll around on his back holding
his feet up in the air in the most pitt
full way, as if he did not know what to
do with his new shoes. Teaching him
to ''back'' is accomplished by hrtching
a team to the back of the wagon to
which Mr.. Colt is harnessed. At the
word "back, some one starts up the
team from behind and Mr.. Colt is
''backed" until he learns the use of
the word. His training is not very
pleasant for him. But if he is bright,
intelligent horse, he will learn all
there is to learn within a year after he
has got his growth or by the time he is
three years old. He will then be very
frisky and inclined to be scared at
trifes. But if he is shown just what
they are, he usually changes his mind
and behaves in a sensible way. Train
ing a colt is easier than training any
other animal, because the horse is nat
urally the most intelligent of all dumb
animals. York Ledger.

CONVENIENT FARM TOOLS.

Every farmer should own a few car
penter's tools, not necessarily an ex-
pensive outfit, but at least a common
hand saw and possibly a rip saw, a
brace and full set of bits, a one-inch
and two-inch anger, one smoothing
plane, one jack plane, a jointer plane,
good steel square, a drawing knife
and claw hammer. There should be
a work bench and a substantial iron
wise. With these any farmer can save
the cost every year.-American Agri-
culturist.

RUSTY PLOWS.

To remove rust from plows: Pur-
chase small quantity of sulphuric acid,
which may be had from any drug store
for a small sum. Pour five ounces into
a pint of water, slowly and carefully
SO as not to come in contact with the
hands or clothing, as it will eat into
the flesh worse than fire. Apply this
to the pillow or any other iron or steel
implement with a paint brush. AS
soon as one application of the acid is
dry apply another; usually three or
four coats will be enough. Then wash
off with clear water.
If any spots remain paint them over
again and rub with brick dust. After
the iron work is cleaned paint it over
with a little coal oil or linseed oil +;
this will keep it free from rust. Set
the implement in a dry place and on a
wooden floor. All implements when
kept free from rust and bright will
scour readily in the soil, will do better
work, and with little extra force. A
badly rusted pillow is very worrying to
work with both to the team and plow-
man. The pillow cannot be made to
clean, causing frequent stoppages, and
the furrow cannot be turned completely
over, making very poor work.-Cana-
dian Agriculturist.
