COLTS IN THE FALL AND WINTER.

The one most important item with
colts during the fall and winter is to
MAINTAIN vigorous, healthy growth,
writes j. N. Shepherd. In doing this
it is OF course quite an item to lessen
the cost as much as possible, but the
cost of keeping should never be less
ened at the expense of the growth OF
the stock. More than any other class
OF stock, growing colts need plenty of
exercise. In no other way can the !
make % good growth and Developments
of bone and muscle. They will, in
majority of cases, fatten faster and
often will grow more rapidly if kept
closely confined, but with colts neither
q rapid growth nor fat is as desirable
as good development of bone and
muscle. In the fall good plan is to
shelter at night, and feed whatever
ration is necessary to keep thrifty and
allow them to run out during the day
every day and as long as the weather
will permit. While it is an item to
allow them TO run out Ill the time that
is possible, it is OF no possible advan-
tage to expose them to cold or storms.
1t is usually best to commence feeding
them III good season in the fall, giving
light ration at first, and gradually
increasing as their condition may re-
quire. There are two advantages in
this; one is that they can be kept in
a good, thrifty condition much easier,
and the other is that the change from
green to dry food being made gradual
ly will not produce any i'll effects. But
there will be only few days during
the fall and winter but that it will be
least two or three hours during the
day. On account of their inclinations
to romp and play when turned out,
lot should be provided separate from
the COWS and sheep, at least where they
could have free run, and there will
be no risks of their injuring other
stock. Their quarters should be warm
and dry arranged conveniently so
that they can be fed economically and
conveniently. The ration should be
largely of good roughness. Unthreshed
oats makes one of the very best rations
that can be supplied to growing colts,
as it supplies both grain and rough
ness, and the grain supplies the mate
rails most needed by them. Good
fodder, with middlings and oil meal,
can be used as q change, with an occa-
sional feed of corn to make up va
riety. Water regularly and keep salt
where they can help themselves. In
this way they can be kept growing and
thrifty with very little trouble, and
this with colts is what is necessary

HARDNESS OF BUTTER.

The New Hampshire experiment sta
ton has been conducting some expert
ments as to the effects of different foods
upon the hardness of butter, and
though the work in this direction, is
not as yet extensive enough to Justify
the drawing of conclusions, their ex-
perlments thus far indicate: That glu-
ten meal tends to produce a much
softer quality of butter than cornmeal
or cottonseed meal, and other things
being equal, tendsto lessen the churna-
bility of the butter fat That with the
same COWS the hardness depends much
more upon the character of the food
than upon the nutritive ratio; that
ensilage produce much softer butter
than does good hay; but it is also
favorable to the flavor and texture of
the butter product; that skinned milk
has very favorable effect upon the
churnability and quality of the butter
fat, and in q single trial apparently
reversed the general rule that the vola-
tile fatty acids decrease as the period
of location advances; that cottonseed
meal tends to produce an unusually
hard quality of butter, and that cot
tonseed meal and gluten meal might
be used together with excellent re-
suits; that contrary to general belief
the melting point of butter fat is not
good index of the commercial hard
ness of butter; that while in general a
soft butter melts at lower tempera-
ture than hard butter, there is no
definite relation between melting point
and actual hardness that no relation
can be traced between foods and vola-
tile fatty acids, except in the case of
skim milk; that usually hardness and
volatile acids vary inversely, hardness
generally increasing and volatile acids
decreasing, as the period of lactation
advances. New York Tribune.

PREPARING A RAIN BARREL.

Though barrels may be used for
catching asupply OF rain water, if only
the best should be selected, yet they
will prove bad enough; SO bad, in fact,
that every householder should discard
them and put in cistern, which, for
small family, should hold not less
than thirty barrels. Thousands of
housewives with large families are OBJ
hged to depend upon the common rain
barrel for supply of soft water for
dish washing, scruhbing and the week
ly family washing. An oil barrel,
whether kerosene or other oil, is the
best for the purpose. Knock out the
head and clean out the barrel by
scraping with knife. Throw in some
lighted papers, and let it burn for at
least three minutes, or until the out
side of the slaves feel hot, then throw
in water or loose earth to extinguish
the flames. Even if the inside be a
little charred, there will then be no
danger of the oil tainting the water.
The oil left in the slaves will prevent
the expansion and contraction which
destroys common barrels. American

neware tne &c Oh anger.

A Vienna scientist has made series
OF interesting experiments with the
virus Of such insects as bees and wasps,
and comes to the conclusion that the
effectiveness Of the irritating substance
depends largely upon the mood OF the
insect. A drop Of the fluid taken from
the poison bag of a dead hornet, for
instance, produces slight itching, but
nothing resembling the Inflammation
caused by hornet sting with much
fact that under the influence Of rage
the saliva of all sorts of otherwise
harmless animals can become virulent
enough to produce alarming and even
fatal symptoms. Death by blood pois-
oning has more than once resulted from
the bite of wounded squirrel, q chip

Metal Ties on Railroads.

Speaking of metal railroad ties gener-
ally, it may not be amiss to recall the
fact that they owe their origin to French
thought, having been proposed some
thirty odd years ago by the French engi-
neer Vauthern. Little was done. how
ever, with the early Vautherin sleeper,
since it was soon found to but made
quately meet the requirements of actual
service and to increase rather than de-
crease, as intended, the expense and
trouble of track maintenance. About
700 of the ties were laid on one of the
small German railroads in the year 1867,
but were replaced after short time by
the conventional wooden variety. In
1874 new experiments were made on the
same line with somewhat thicker metal
ties. About 25, 600 of them were put
down, and in the main proved quite
satisfactory, some Of them probably being
still in place. so that the trials on the
whole, may be said to have been success
full Since 1877 the number of metal
tic designs has grown apace, and for
several years past there has been an
embarrassing variety from which to
choose, each type of tie, of course, being
claimed to be the best by its designer,
while few of them could boast of actual,
time-triod performance as fair measure
of worth. Probably the best results
abroad with metal ties have been obtained
with what is known as the Hcindl tie.
which has been in continued successful
use for about ten years on several Ger
man and Austrian railroads None of the
defects of frequent fracture of the ties
themselves and of rapid deterioration of
the roadbed on which they are laid
defects which are said to have been
prominent on some lines where thew
were used, notably in Belgium-has
there been observed, aud the conclusion
has been reached on these lines that the
superiority of the metal tie over the
wooden one has been definitely estab.
lished. On one of the Austrian railroads

time the metal ties, after the full period

FENCE POSTS.

In actual practice there is but little
difference in the durability of posts
whether set with the top or bottom
end in the ground. The point Of
greatest decay is, nine times in ten,
about six inches above and below the
surface of the ground. This is caused
by the continuous changes from mois-
ture to dryness, while the part which
is far below the surface is not subject
to changes, but is nearly always water
soaked, which with many woods acts
as preventative. If any preservative
is applied to q post, it should be at
point where it will be near the sur
face of the ground both above and be-
low, or, if they are charred, it should
be at the point named. In setting
posts where the lower end is below the
action of frost, the big end should be
downward, as then the frost will not
have such leverage in raising it up
ward. A projecting knot left near the
lowest portion set in the ground will
have the same effect, or notch cut in
the side of post near the bottom, in
which a fat stone is placed. A hole
