General Farm Notes.

poultry prollLs'
Sawdust makes a good absorbent
for liquid manure if used for bed
ding.
Don't use racks that allow dust
and hay seeds to sift down into the
woody backs or necks of sheep feed
ing at them.
In nearly all cases when the pig
is fully grown he should be ready
for market.
All who can do so should look up
private customers for fresh eggs, and
thus get top prices.
The man will always be poor that
continues to raise fifty-dollar horses
at cost of seventy-five.
A good breed of men is as essen
tail in business and society as good
breeds of live stock in farming.
There is hardly anything better
for the cracked and sore teats of
COWS than rich, old, boiled linseed
oil.
A single season Of high prices for
pork will cause thousands to rush
into hogs. See if it doesn't, and
note the result.
Never use the currycomb more
than is necessary, as it hurts the
horse and spoils his temper. Brush
es are preferable.
When going to the shop to have
the team shod, don't choose Satur-
day, unless you wish to waste time
there waiting for others.
Farmers are not the only parties
who are taken in by sharks. Meth
er bankers nor merchants nor man
ufacturers are "shark" proof.
Timothy hay, though highest in
market, is poorest for sheep. Give
them clover if you would see them
prosper and make you do the same.
Every farmer that keeps sheep
should learn TO be judge of the
fleece, as to its weight and quality,
so as 10 know something oft value.
Look out for March winds. A
draft from a crack or knot-hole will
give your best fresh cow infamma-
ton of the udder and perhaps ruin
her.
Take the colt beside q steady
horse whenever you drive to town.
He will get used to everything be-
fore you know it, and never need a
whipping.
Statistics prove farmers to aver
age longer life than most other work
ers-a fact due to the even lives they
lead and steady employment the
year round
No butter, however we'll made,
will retain all it's flavor and aroma
more than ten days or two weeks,
and to get its greatest value it
should be sold and eaten at once.
Better relieve pussy of her present
family before their eyes are open.
She can rear one cheaper next fall,
when the young broods of chicks
are too large to be a temptation to
her.
Do not place much confidence in
the so-called early" sweet corns.
The crop consists too greatly of
smut and worms. The perfect ears
at twenty-five cents dozen are not
very profitable.
Milk is wasted at the rate of half
a pint to a quart per COW by some
mixers because they fail to hold
the pail properly while milking.
The loss occurring twice daily is a
big one at the end of a year.
A good garden fence will be q
temper saver, and will also save
the "green things growing all
around" inside when the festive hens
set out to forage for egg-making
material little later in the season.
Do not crowd. Many poultry
keepers have an idea that fowls
need dosing to keep them we'll when
they are all right, or to make them

How n Snake Swallows.

The formation of n snakes Jaws Is pc
culiar and enables it to swallow bodies
much larger than itself, or than it seems
to be. A small snake found in Africa,
where this tribe of animals abounds, IS
known as the egg eater, and one OF them,
less than 90 inches long and only half an
inch in apparent diameter, can easily take
into its stomach hens egg. This Is done
by the formation of the head, and espe-
cially of the Jaws. The bones Of the head
are not sutured together, but are loosely
articulated by elastic bands. Thus the
laws can be extended to an amazing eX-
tent, considering the apparent size or the
head. A snake less than two inches In
diameter at the neck can swallow RAD
bit. and by taking plenty of time smaller
ones will manage to get outside OF large
frog, and to hold the prey during the proc
ess of slow deglutition-a time OF horror,
probably, to the unhappy victim-the teeth
of the snake are hooked.
In this process of swallowing the snake
secretes n glary saliva, and by gradually
drawing the jaws and neck over the prey,
as one would draw glove on the hand,
and by the help of the hooked teeth hold
ing all it gains by each effort, in time the
prev is finally swallowed. The writer has
watched this process in the swallowing OF
a large frog by a small snake during more
than an hour, and when the frog had dis

final kicked continually with its hind legs

A ROYAL Rainm aker.

King Lobengula has the reputation OF
being a remarkably good hand at making
a thunderstorm, and in this he gives way
to no man. remember one day in June
the month in the whole year in which
you least expect rain-some natives had
brought large python into camp and
were singing some of their rain songs. 1t
is sudden death to any native in Matabele-
land who if he sees n python does not by
some means or other manage to secure 1t
and bring it in alive. The king took pos
session of the reptile and said he must go
and make rain | laughed at this and
said | did not think he could do so, to
which the king replied, "You will see"
The python was skinned alive, its liver
taken out and cooked, and the usual rain
making rites performed. Curiously enough,
Just before shutdown the sky ciouded over,
and soon afterward one of the heaviest
thunderstorms had ever seen broke over
the place. Next morning the king asked
me if n white man could make thunder
storm like that? said, "No, king, if we
could get you down among the farmers in
the Karoo, we could guarantee you for
tune. "-Review OF Reviews
