ing it In, a small piece of tissue paper
This keep the material from the horse's
tongue and is soon dissolved when 1t
reaches the stomach.
In administering the ball it should
be held between the fingers of the right
hand the first and fourth fingers being
placed together under the bail and the
second and third fingers placed on the
upper side of the ball. In this manner
the right hand is made to take up as
little room as possible, to render it easy
to insert in the mouth
The person administering should
bare the right arm and stand in front
of the horse, a little to the right, and
with left hand take hold of the horses
tongue, draw it gently from the mouth,
placing it on that part of the lower
jaw that is bare of teeth. 1t is a good
precaution to place the tongue between
the molar teeth to prevent the horse
closing his mouth and biting the arm.
The right hand holding the ball as ex.
planned is now inserted in the horses
mouth as shown in the accompanying
cut, and the ball deposited at the root
of the tongue. The right hand is then
withdrawn, the tongue released, and a
small handful of hay offered to the
horse at once, the head being still held
up. In the movement made to eat the
hay he swallows the ball and its course
down the gullet may be seen by watch
ing the side of the neck.
| To obtain practice, it is very gooc
plan to make up several balls in the
manner described of simple bran OF
meal and giving to any horse about tn,
barn. When we'll, the animal will very
seldom object to such an experiment
and one can become accustomed t,
handling the animal, making little o.
no trouble when giving the ball or pill
to sick one. 1t is generally best t,
keep the horse in the stall. Go to worl
quietly, taking care not to excite tn
horse in any way and there will seldom
be any trouble.-Wallack, in Farm an,

AMONG THE POULTRY.

TURKEYS are profitable on any farm
if carefully managed.
LARGE quantities of fat-producing
foods are not desirable for laying hens
or growing fowls. Provide variety.
PECULIARLY formed, double yolked
or unnaturally shaped eggs of any kind
are said to be caused by hens being too
fat.
KEEP one cock for each breeding pen
of fourteen hens. This will do for all
breeds but Asiatics, which require more
males.
BANTAMs may be Matched at any time
If the young are carefully kept from
lice they will do as well in summer as
if hatched earlier.
DON'T forget to occasionally rub lit
tie lard on the heads, throats and under
the wings of young chickens or the lice
will work on them.
WATCH the young turkeys and do not
let them wander off. Provide a good
open shed for them to roost in. They
will bring good price when fully ma.
tured and are worth looking after

1t is rather difficult to lay down any
rule as regards the ration that should
be supplied to the hogs on the farm
that can be considered applicable to all
conditions So much depends upon the
character of the pigs and the conditions
under which they are being fed, that
what is best at one time will not al
ways be best at another. Growing
pigs that have the run of a good pas-
ture will need a much less ration than
if they must depend upon what is sup
piled to them entirely, Growing hogs,
in majority OF cases, need less ra-
ton than when fattening for market.
Generally safe rule with growing
hogs is to feed sufficient 70 keep in a

IN THE STILL MOONLIGHT.
A Sad Picture of the Field After the
Battle.

A Sad Picture of tho Field After the
Battle.
A battle had ragged all through the
day.
At it's close terrific storm had
stopped the combat. For the artillery
of the heavens was so fierce and loud,
and the overhanging clouds were so
heavy and dark that the panic-stricken
soldiers could not tell friend from foe.
The tempest ragged till long past mid
night, and the rain fell in sheets upon
the deserted dead and dying.
All the groans and means, and pitiful
cries for help had been drowned amid
the dreadful tumult, which had now
spent itself.
The moon pushed back the sullen
crowds, and looked pitifully down on
the great field of frightful carnage.
How could man be so cruel, SO savageP
The voices of the suffering were stilledl
In the midst of the field lay a young
soldier boy, stretched out by his broken
musket,
And the serene moon shone softly
down upon the uplifted pale, still face;
and on the shining, yellow, curly locks
and the white eyelids, closing forever
over the merry blue eyes; and the lips
that smiled, as though dreaming of the
mother, far away, praying for the safe.

Cabbage for Poultry.

The small and inferior cabbages will
answer as well for the hens as the best,
and such unstable food may be con-
verted into eggs and sold. 1t is best to
aim to give green food of some kind
after the fall has passed and grass is
scarce. Green food cannot easily be
obtained after grass is gone, but cab
bages make an excellent substitute.
They do not contain a large proportion
of nutritious matter, but serve to diet
the fowls and promote the appetite by
providing change from dry food.

would hold the liquid in their throats

The easiest method when the medi-

often times necessitated from the de-

the drug, not refusing to eat it with
the foods to mix the drug with bran,
making sticky mass that can be rolled
into a ball. This can be more easily
handled by putting around it, or roll

TWO GOOD SHOTS.
Clever Work with Cannon During the
War.

War.
During the war a chaplain in Vir-
ginia regiment stood upon a slight
knoll watching the operations of the
enemy's batteries beyond. Several men
were about him lying on the grass, and
under the trees, also watching the fir
ing. The great balls could be seen in
the air as they rose and fell, and the
soldiers about estimated very closely
where they would light, and gave that
spot wide berth. Suddenly, as gun
doomed and tiny black spot appeared
in mid-air, the men moved hurriedly.
"Parson," shouted one, "that's meant
for you-better look outr And acting
on the suggestion, the chaplain stood
aside. Just in time, too, for, as he
moved away, the knoll upon which he
had been standing was plowed by the
immense mass.
That was very good shooting on one
side and close estimating on the other,
and another story of fine marlzsman-
ship is equally interesting. Two sin
gle-gun batteries were having an ex-
tended duel, until finally one of the
gunpers got annoyed. They We're some
