Farm Notes.

There is nothing gained by scant
supply of bedding.
There cannot be a thrifty growth
without good care.
After applying manure do not pillow
it under too deep.
With growing stock the food should
not be too heating.
On many farms good management
is as necessary as hard work.
Do not allow an animal to have
food for twelve hours before killing.
TO make the most with stock, feed
literally, regularly and thoroughly.
Strictly first-class horses will al
ways command a ready sale, and the
better the breed the better the de-
mand.
An improvement in the quality OF
the COWS kept by patrons is one of
the good advantages of a creamery in
the neighborhood.
Specially farming under favorable
nitely with success, but good manage
ment is very essential.
If there is any difference, more
| pains should be taken to have the
best quality when prices are low, sc
as to get the best prices obtainable,
One reason why hog manure is good
for potatoes is on account of the corn
cobs usually mixed with it; corr
cobs contain good per cent of pot
ash.
The gap between prices for com
mon, ordinary horses and those thai
are tirst-class widens every year, with
the chances against the poorer
horses.
Southern farmers are ahead of thei
Northern neighbors in many respects
They think blood and bone fertilizer
are as necessary as good seed to Sc
cure fair crop.

The system of plural voting under
which the people of Great Britain suf-
fer amounts to this: A man may vote
in every ELECTORAL district IN which he
possesses certain real estate interests.
It follows from this that rich man
may have several votes; a poor man
only one or even none at all. This is
perhaps according to the dictum of a
we'll known American political orator
that property and intelligence should
rule the country" but the effect in
Great Britain was that it made proper
ty rule, whether intelligence had any
thing to say or not. Rich Englishmen
are rather inclined to be Conservatives
in, politics, so that the plural voting
system helped Tories more than Lib
erals. For this reason the present
Liberal parliament will undertake tc
abolish the system.

it would be good thing; but the ordinances
are defective. twill cost over twice 500, 600.
