CLEAN THE WAGONS FREQUENTLY.

Any vehicle that is allowed to remain
spattered with mud for weeks and
months is wrongly treated. The luster
of the varnish rapidly deadens, the oil
is absorbed from the paint, and when
the dirt is removed by washing, the
vehicle presents grimy appearance.
Driving wagon covered with mud
when the roads are in good condition
presents to the observer that you
either are shiftless or extremely busy.
However if you are busy with your
work, and of course attending to it,
for the money or profit to be gained
thereby, you would find it "a paying in
vestment to spend an hours time in
removing the mud, also properly oil
ing the axles of both heavy and light
vehicles. In washing n wagon it is
best to apply water to the muddy sur
face several moments before the sponge
is used. If n force pump or hose can
be used most of the dirt can be thus
removed, and will not scratch the sur
face, as the sand on sponge or rag
will do Agriculturist.

INSPECTION IN CATTLE.

Among the results of long-continued
dry weather and an absence of green
food is impaction of the omasum or
third stomach in horned cattle. Obsti-
nate constipation is indicated by n
grunt as of pain, loss of cud, persistent
refusal to lie down, more or less
tympany, grinding of teeth, staring
coat and dazed look about the eyes.
There is SO much accompanying fever
that the grunt is often mistaken for
pleuro-pneumonia in the early stages.
In treating the disease, plenty of
drinking water is essential, and an
aperient should be administered and
the food should be of laxative ma
ture. Bullocks once affected by this
disease should not be exposed to its
causes a second time, as they would
then probably develop chronic indi-
gestion. New York Wcrld.

A Cows Omniyerous Anpc,ite.

Most people are probably of the
opinion that the goat and the ostrich
rank highest as omniverous animals.
1t is not SO generally known, however,
that COW takes often very curious
things into her stomach. The United
States Department of Agriculture has
given space in its exhibit in the Gov
ernment Building to n collection of va
rious objects which have been taken
from the stomachs of cattle killed for
beef at the stock yards. The most
amazing of these objects is the iron
tooth of huge hay rake, such as is
drawn by two horses upon the Western
prairies. This iron tooth is curved
and is four feet eight inches long by
about quarter of an inch thick. 1t
was taken from the stomach of a Texas
steer, which was to all external appear
ances in the best of health when
killed. From the stomach of another
Texas steer was taken an iron bolt,
thirteen and half inches long by five
eights of an inch thick. In n rather
small COW were found objects as fol-
lows:
One Masonic emblem, one dime, one
copper cent, two watch rings, one fin
ger ring and number of stones. In
another cows stomach were found one
silver dollar, one silver watch chain,
one brass hair pin, door knob and
seven nails or pieces of nails. One OF
the most curious features of this re.
markable collection is lot of twenty
three hair balls. They were all found
in the stomach of Texas COW which
was butchered at the stock yards only
n short time ago. When she was killed
the animal was in good health, but
small She weighed when dressed for
beef $50 pounds. These hair balls arc
each n perfectly solid, hard, circular
mass The largest one is five inches
in diameter, and the smallest about an
inch and half The balls are formed
by the animal licking itself. The haii
comes off and adheres to the tongue.
1t is then swallowed, and once in the
stomach is rolled up and compressed
into the globular mass described. -

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Cooked turnips. are good for ducks.
Mix little charcoal in the soft
feed.
Langshans do better if permitted q
large range.
Half dozen chicks are fair hatch
from thirteen eggs.
Never get your stale eggs mixed
with your fresh ones.
If you wish your eggs to sell well,
sort them as to color.
1t is better to give the milk to The
chickens before it sours.
Light Brahmas, like oil great
scratchers, are a hardy fowl.
Spray the poultry house occasion
ally with the Bordeaux mixture.
1t will pay to thoroughly fit the
ground before you put i'll the seed.
Draughts are very apt to bring on
attacks of roup in the poultry yard.
Fowls need as careful and intelligent
breeding as sheep OF any other kind OF
stock.
Give your poultry plenty of fresh
air and clean, cool water during the
hot weather.
1t costs just as much to keep n poor
animal land sometimes more) than it
does good one.
Do not attempt to raise chickens III
q breeder unless you are going to see
to the temperature regularly.
Fowls are very fond of mustard,
which is one of the best and cheapest
green foods that can be grown.
A person does not get rich very fast
by running in debt for everything.
Cents make the dimes and dimes make
the dollars.
If you want eggs you must not per-
nit your hens to get fat, neither must
you keep them hungry. Keep to the
golden mean.
Ducks allowed to swim in cold water
become stiff and rheumatic. Pekin
ducks are considered peculiarly sensi-
tive to cold and dampness.
The greatest loss of young turkeys
is due to the large gray lice, which
work on the heads and throats, but
which cannot be seen except by close
examination.
1t is not necessary to have II palatial
residence on the farm, but it is neces-
sary in more ways than one to make
your house and home as pleasant and
attractive as you can.
There is kind of sheep that the
more man has of them the worse off
he is. 1t is II pity that "A man cant
buy share of sheep sense rs easily ms
he can buy some good sheep.
III you are SO made that you have to
have dog ON the farm, take pains to
have the sheep SO well acquainted with
il that they will not be scared at the
presence of dog in the yard.
There are lots of sheepmen that are
mot in it, whom progressive breeds
and methods are sought for. They
talk progress and look for progress in
other men, but do not practice it
themselves.
There has been an unusual activity
in importing Dorset sheep into this
country this season. The importers
are all men of high character, and
their selections are exceptionally good

II is found that tho finest fleeces
grow in the warmest climates as often

top-dress ut least one field annually,
and so rotate around until finally all
are thus treated. Wherever there are
logs and dead timber, and turf, sods
and rubbish generally upon farm,
.here are the materials for the ash
supply. 1t is a fact not as we'll known
rs it should be, that burnt and smoke
impregnated soil, turf, peat, clay or
muck is, of itself, a valuable and last
ing fertilizer. During the leisure
spells, when the woods are not SO dry
as to render the escape of fire proba-
BILE, the farmer should be burning the
waste material of the farm, in order to
increase the stock of ashes. After the
logs and large timber are well on fire,
let him throw on whatever turf, sods
or leaves may be convenient to the
pile, making the fires with that end in
view. OF course this burnt dirt sub
stitute for ashes is not as good fer
tilizer as pure ashes, but mixed with
ashes, it is good and lasting manure,
and it increases the bulk of ashes,
enabling the farmer to get enough an
nually to top-dress at least one field.
This form of ashes makes n capital
dressing for clover, grass, small
fruits, vine yards, orchards and fields
of grain on any soil needing potash. -

A Town without Deserving Poor.

There is town in Ontario, Canada,
of about 1000 inhabitants, which, if ii
was located in Jersey, would be the
Mecca of tramps. 1t seems that big
fair was held there some months ago,
and in order to have an object it was
decided to devote the proceeds to the
deserving poor. a snug sum was
netted, and the committee were in
structed how to portion out the money.
The next thing was to find the deserv-
ing poor, and this proved by far the
hardest task the committee had ever
tackled. The town was ransacked
from one end to another, but not n
single deserving poor person was
found. The search was kept up foi
some time, but it proved utterly fruit
less. Newark Call.

is SALT NECESSARY FOR CATTLE ?

The first thing to be said in favor of
common salt is that it is natures YER
mifuge and very destructive to all, or
nearly oil, intestinal parasites. All
herb and grain eating animals are
preyed upon by such parasites, espec-
tally when enfeebled by hard work, ex-
posure to cold storms, or want of
nourishing food; in fact, anything
that enfeebles invites the attacks of
internal parasites, for, while they are
always present in some form, the
healthy and vigorous animal is able to
resist their attacks. 1t is true that
horses, cattle, sheep, and other do
mesticated animals may live and thrive,
apparently, without receiving salt in
its crude form, but this does not prove
that they have been benefited in any
way by being deprived of saline rations
What animals may endure and live no
doubt is of greater interest to some
men than the opposite conditions, and
they are usually prone to make exper-
iments in the way of exposure to cold
storms, and short rations when shell
ter and full rations would greatly con
duce TO the health and happiness of
their stock. Salt gives sapidity and
relish to hay, grasses, and other kinds
of raw food. II nets universally Ms a
stimulus to digestion, renders coarse
food more nourishing, and mixed food
less injurious, and often recalls the
appetite more speedily than any other
tonic. Wild horses, cattle, and sheep,
as well as all other herbivorous ami
mails, seek salt-li aud saline marshes
and ponds where they can satisfy their
natural desires for salt. When animals
are kept in confinement or removed to
localities where they cannot get to
salt springs, they should be given All
equivalent in the form of common dry
salt New York sun.

In Mediterranean sponge fishing
divers are employed, says the Cincin-
natl Tribune.
The diver is carried down by
broad, flat slab of marble of about
twenty-five pounds weight, which he
holds at arms length in front of him,
and which he uses to guide his flight,
to protect his head when he first
strikes and to keep him down when he
walks on the bottom.
Fifteen to twenty fathoms is the
average depth, while two minutes is
the usual duration of the dive. Each
diver puts the sponge he pulls into a
net bag that hangs from his neck.
When he is ready to ascend he jerks
a rope and is quickly pulled to the sur
face.
In Florida sponging crew is divided
into twos, each pair consisting of II
"sculler" and "hooker" supplied
with small yawl known as a dingy.
The former stands in the stern of the
dingy and sculls it slowly and steadily
forward, being prepared to stop it and
hold it exactly i'll place ut moment S
DOtlcG from InG 'nOOkeT, WHO, huttl-
ing amidships, with the upper half of
his body projecting over the side,
scans the bottom for suitable sponges.
In order to assist in this scanning u
sponge glass is used. 1t consists of an
ordinary wooden bucket with glass
bottom fixed in with putty.
The handle is placed around the neck
of the "hooker," while the glass itself
is placed fiat upon the water, while the
"hooker's" head is thrust well down
into the bucket. By this means he
can see very small objects at CON
siderable depth. And he has his
hands free to plunge the hooked pole
down and pierce the sponge, sometimes
at depth of thirty-tive feet, as soon
rs sighted.
After landing catch the sponges
are beaten to cleanse them; afterward
they are dipped into weak solution
of lime and seawater, to give them the
yellow color so well known in the
markets.

Bicycles Not Available tor War.

The use of the bicycle for military
purposes, after having developed with
great rapidity in France, has suddenly
received check. General Loizillon,
tie Minister of War, has, it appears,
little faith in it, He has issued an or
der that the cyclist corps are only to
be used on prepared ground.
In time of war, he says, their use,
even if no account is taken of the liza
bility of the machines to break, is like
ly to cause serious miscalculations, and
they can only rarely be substituted for
men on horseback. The cyclists hence
forth, therefore, or until some success
sor to General Loizillon more favor
able to them is appointed, will be
reserved, by his instructions, for gar
rison duty, for the great man9uyres,
and i'll time of war for certain easy
communications at the rear of the

WASHES FOR TREES.

The application of washes to keep
the borer FROM trees may be effectual,
though we never knew of ore that was
invariably SO, and we should prefer to
trust to making a careful inspection
from two to four times year, and
thrust wire up the hole where the
borer had entered than to any of them.
In six months it will not get far
enough beneath the bark to do any in
jury, and its presence should not es-
cape observation more than one inspec-
tion. If washes are used, the examin-
alton should not be neglected, as there
may be some place that was not
touched where the moth can lodge
long enough to deposit her egg. -Bos-
