A round of fleeting pbantasies begun

The opinion seems to prevail among farmers
who put their corn into the silo that it should
be harvested before frost strikes it. This may or
may not prove correct practice after further sx-
perience. The frosted corn rapidly dries, and
if exposed to rains would probably lose some Of
of its nutritious contents. But, on the other
hand, it can be packed into about two-thirds Of
the space that it would occupy if cut before
frost and where storage room is short this i
an item worth considering.
The frosted corn. if put in in dry weather,
however, will need to be moistened somswhss
in order to make it pack well and ferment
properly without souriug or rOtting. This
moistening can be done by sprinkliug water
upon the cut fodder as it goes into the silo,
or upon the uncut stalks as they go into the
cutter as may be found convsnient. Wetting the
litter used to cover the ensilage will also be
found great advantage, causing it to pack
down more perfectly, and thus keep out the
air.

In recent report of the Board of Trade in
Philadelphia it was shown that the daily supply
of that city was $40 calves, lao sheep, Isis
hogs, steers not given. Estimating the value
of each calf, hog and sheep at so as the aver.
age, shows value Of $34, 800. The eggs used
daily amount to about 5000 600, which, at only
one cent each, amounts to 5000. AbonE 1859
barrels Of poultry are also used During one
year 100000 dozens eggs were used, which,
at 123 cents per dozen IA low estimates
amounts to nearly g. 600. coo. If Philadelphia,
which contains only one-sixtieth of the popu-
lstion of the United States, consumes eggs to
the value OF s. 600 yearly, it is safe to claim
that the yearly product of eggs in this country
has value of somewhere about s.. OO0, 600 600,
while the value of poultry (geese, turkeys,
ducks, fowls and broilersl amounts to q SUM
fully as large. The poultry industry Of this
country is great, and deserves more attention
from Experiment Stations and fair managers
than it has received, compared with other in
dustries.

OUR RURAL TOPICS
Some Practical Suggestions for Our
Agricultural Readers

Indiseriminate dosing. whether Of human
beings or domestic animals, is to be deprecated
by reason of the evil effects which often arise.
Medicines made up of poisonous ompounds
and have no curative qualities whatever. In
fact they are sntagonistic TO the existence Of .
living organism. The healing is by natural
process and in harmony with fixed laws The
remedial agencies are only the means by which
these laws are aroused to action. aud to thus
throw of the disease with the medicius. We
quote from IN exchange, which says in regard
to horses: II there Is any one thing connected
with the management of horses which should
be abolished, it is the continued dosing foF
imaginary diseases, aud that, too. witheut re-
gard to the effect produced, or the possible
need. There is no question that very often
horse will be the better for little medicine.
The system gets out Of order and little tonIs
will help materially in building up. but sons
judgment must be used, or more harm than
good will result. In the early Spring in many
cases the horses have been ON dry feed all
Winter and need change, and mild physio
will be of benefit, and then something in the
nature of tonic. This is of course, when the
horses have run down. There is no question
but that good care in good season win render
this unnecessary, and this is the best plan. Ia
all cases good preventive is better than any
cure, but this is not always done, aud In by far
too many cases horses ars doctOred without .
proper regard for their needs With all ami.
mails it is poor plan to dose without under
standing. first, whether the animal rsslIy needs
the medicine. that the quantity given is what
is needed to secure the desired effect, and how
long it could reasonably be expected that the
medicine would act, and ia what way One
serious mistake is often made, and that is in
giving one kind of medicine and then follow.
ing it up with another before the first has had
3 sufficient opportunity to act
If the animal is worth docsoring at all il IN
worth doctoring properly, and if the doses and
action of medicines are not properly understood
it viii in nearly all cases be better to call in
the services of competent veterinary doctsT
rather than risk your own judgment Havea
sick horse and call in few Of your neighbsrs
for cure, aud see how varied will be the treat
ment suggested and how little regard will b
paid to the animals condition There ia too
much risk in this way. Because an animal
with strong constitution is able to take the
medicine and still get well should not by any
means be regarded as proof that it has bean Of
benefit. Yet this has been the way a mixturs
is given, aud if the animal gets well it il sss
down as sure cure. without investigating a.
to the cause and effect Of what has been given.
Better not dose at all as an experiment; much
harm is nearly always done at the expense Of
the animal. and it is nearly always best to ist
the animal suffer with disease than to be tor

Always give relief when it is possible but try
and do so intelligently, or get someone whs
can.
