SUCCESSFUL FARMING.

This is the only kind that pays. Tn, farmer must make no mistakes in his bus
 mess; he must learn and act from hi
 own experience and the experience O
 thousands of others. This We should
 know, that if VIZ dssire pullets, we mus seS the round eggs, lf roosters, the lons ones. This was known to the Latin poe Horace, for he so states. If we would
 raise smooth and large crops of potatoes
 we must use phosphates, mixed with 5(
 per cent plast ter is 5. good way: Apple: require Iianuring as well as corn, but rank manure will often kill apple trees All stock pays for extra feed and cxtrs
 steps. This every farmer knows: Thai
 sudden changes of feed may kill his
 horses, that sour feed has killed thous- ands. That politics and daily rides for
 pleasure is no way to make money farm ing. We must do everything with skill
 in doing it. The way to do anything is to do it quickly and well. Some men dare not cut down the grass, because it may rain. When cut, they ted if, open the cocks, and turn it over and over. up- til it is nearlu worthless. Other men get the same amount of hay in half the time in perfect condition, because they have the knack of it. All crops require the right attention at the right time. Fruits are often spoiled in the handling. Our crops are said without tact. Every pos sible point in farming must be watched and managed as the merchant or banker does his. and it will not do to let the hir- ed man do all the planning and all the work; even if he does insist upon the l"t- ter.-EG.

THE DEHoRNING OF CATTLE.

There is little doubt that in the next dozen years dehorniug cattle will become very general among farmers, and ma relating to the different modes of attain ing the desirable result will be ot inter- est. At the Wisconsin experiment. sta tlon several calves had dehOrninS fluid applied to one horn and not to the other The side of the skull treated with the chemical did not produce any bump or prominence whatever, while the other horn was well developed, showing the un- mistakable tendency to produce horns. Caustic potash in the fol m of sticks about the size of lead pencil can be purchased at any drug store and is very effective. Five cents worth is sufficient for quite a number of calves To apply it, wrap in a piece ot paper to prevent it's coming in Goneact with the hands. Clip the hair from about the horn button, dampen with a drop Of water and rub it with the end of the stlok of potash until the horn germ appears intiamed and spOngy. Take care that none of this material touches the calt'S had, as it is an active caustic and will produce bad results. The pota sh must be kept in a tigbtly-corkea bottle
 when rot in use. Horns germs can be cut out with a kG;fe ur gouge very sue cessfully bGt whether it is cut out or destroyed by chemicals, it is advisable to operate npon the calf as soon as the horn button can be located. as it then causes
 the least pain ,-CTroy Times.

TIE NEST fooD FOR POULTRY.

We are often asked to st.te what Is the best food for tbis Of that purpose. It is difficult to give satisfactory replies 60 such questions. Fowls require heating food in' winter Corn is perhaps the best and cheapest carbonaceous or fat-mak- iag food. But wheat and huckwheat contain caFbonaeeous matter, although in smaller proportions, Fat meat. lard scraps and cottonseed meal and clover hay also contain it. Njtrogenous matter (albumln] Is required along with carbon aceous, and is especially necessary for laying hens. Lean meat, raw or cooked
 insects, barn cQttonseed meal, linseed meal, mllk and clover hay, all contain (his valuable food ele.nont. Corn has comparatively little Of 1t, wheat larger
 proportion, Succulent and bulky mat ter, such as grass and vegetables, is also quite essential to poultry, not only for the nutriment it contains. but to dilute and separate thp morF oQncentI ated grain and meat alet. pQultry-keepeFs would study the general question of the classes of food elements they can frequently su5- stitue one for the other according as they
 have this or that article at hand. al and according to the price of the varions ar ticles in their nearest n3sFress. .-.EFarm Journal,

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

 Don't waste hay and injure the horses by feeding too much of it. Keep rubbish away from the trees or mice will be almost sure to get to gnaw- ing them.
 Sifted coal ashes will aid materially in Tightening a heavy soil and making it more porous.
 Feed regularly what each COW will eat up clean, always giving the heaviest feed- ing at night.
 If some of the big calves butt the smaller ones about in the pen, separate them into two pens. A handful of lnseed meal added to the usual feed of Il horse will make it's coat nice and sleek,
 Never drive a colt with an old harness or one that is liable to give way with g little extra strain.

early, while richer land will make q larger crop but will be later. On the average farm it is a good plan to plant out a few fruit trees every year order to keep up the supply. Cover the bit with leather, or in any case be sure to take the frost out of it be- fore putting it in the horses mouth. It is best, with young orchard at least, to replace any missing tree with good thu fifty trees whena vacancy occurs. Early sorts of strawberries should be set on the earliest land and all together and late sorts on late lands and by them selves.
 An allowance of wheat bran and oats each day to growing colts will more than pay in their growth and development.
 The best place for any kind of manure is in the soil. Haul out and apply as fast as made, if the other farm work will per init.
 If there are white specks or Ch.-..sv particles among granulatcd butter, with care they can be separated and Wa he'd out with brine.
 Newly-hatched Cbfcss when placed in brooder in 2 cold house must be conlin- ed close .a the warm part by screen of lath O. Ntre and must not on any aceoaat Oe allowed to become chilled.
 A very good way to caver long dis tance in country driving without frrtting the horses is to favor them on un grades and in the mud. and make up for tbe lost tinS sn hard, level stretches of road. . Be sure to remove the frozen mud and ice from the legs Of the horse as soon IS he comes to the stable. Allowed to re- main until they melt off they are fable to produce stiff joint, ,rhe Glnat tiSm, scratches. etc.

PROFIT IN TURKEYS.

Turkeys often pay two profits on the farm. They can be raised almost as cheaply, pound for pound, as pork, and sell at a higher price, and in dry seas- on when grasshoppers abound they de- stroy the hoppers and save the crops that would be eaten by those and other in ysects, and really need no other feed to keep them growing until they are to be corn-fed for market, But it Is a good plan to give them little grain near the house at night to induce them to come home to roost.-f Troy Times.
