FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Never overfeed young heifers.
Chopped barley is good food for
lambs to make bone and body.
1t has been rem arked that the cream
of experience is skinned from split
milk.
Salt is necessary y for all vegetarian
animals, and aids N the digestion of
the food.
Skill and brain work get better pay
in dairying than in any other branch
of farming.
1t will not hurt any animal that is
kept for dairy purposes to have calf
at two years old.
Ali dairy room doors and windows
should be pro vided with screens that
will keep out flies and other insects.
Beets, or mangels, which are a spe-
cies of beet, may be sown any time up
to June. These plants need very clean
land.
Many persons regularly raise two
crops of potatoes from the same soil,
which can be done on most farms
when managed properly.
Balsam seed should be sown in boxes
or pans in early spring for summer
blooming; in ear ly July, for flowers,
and in September, for winter blooms.
Spray the young potatoes in June
with Bordeaux mixture, mixed with
Paris green, for the double purpose
of preventing rot and killing the
beetles.
1t is not we'll to be too hasty in Civ
ing grain to a young colt. The teeth
must be advanced sufficiently to grind
the food before anything more than
milk is given.
The nitrogen or ammonia of ma.
nures and the potash are easily lost.
The former is volatile and goes of in
the air and the latter is carried into
the earth by water.
Don't be in hurry to see a cali

s,AcKrNa HAY.

Hay keeps best IN a rouno stack. If
the stacks are to go up by hand, plant
pole about twenty-five feet high and
stack around it to the top, tramping
thoroughly near the pole. Then raks
the sides thoroughly after few days
settling, and there will be no percep-
tible waste 1t is cheaper to put hay
up in this way than to build barns and
haul it in. Cheaper because the hay
goes up faster and lessons the danger
of loss by rain; cheaper because labor
is high and time is precious in hay
harvest; cheaper because it costs
money to build barns. Some may
scout the idea of having to use a pole
for guide. Better use pole and
have all your stacks perfect than to
serve your false pride and have part
of the stacks lose their tops in the
wind, or lean over and leak water. If
the stacking is to be done by machine,
still adhere to the round form, throw
ing each delivery on top of the former
and stack just enough to give the pile
good form. Build the sack about
twenty-eight feet high and put about
fifteen tons in it. The hand-buit
stack should have about five tons in
it. The small stack always cures best
and makes the finest hay. Rural Life.

DAIRY CALVES.

A transition stage from new to skim
milk may commence at one, two or
three weeks old, according to the
vigor of the calf aud the strength of
its digestion. With very robust calves
the change may commence when they
are a weak old, but generally speak
ing it would be better to begin later
with the skim milk. Only a little of
that is given at first, then more with
every meal. The new milk ration is
gradually decreased until the whole
ration is skim milk. The whole transi-
tion period need not cover more than
two weeks. As soon rs the new milk
ration is withheld in any degree, some
substitute should be given in its stead,
to supply, in part at least, the butter
fat that is thus withheld. There is no
better substitute than haxseed. 1t
may be prepared and given as follows:
Take quart of fiaxseed and i'm
merse it in six to eight quarts of
water; soak for six hours, then boil
for one hour. OF the jelly thus made
feed the calf enough to answer the
purpose. Commence by giving half a
teacupful and increase gradually. Two
indications will tell us when the calves
are getting too much one is that they
will become too lax in their bowels,
and the second is that they will get
too feshy. When either of these in
dications manifests itself, we can less
EN- the amount of haxseed given in the
milk.
1t is imperative that dairy calves be
not allowed to get too feshy. just
as soon as they become too heshy, a
bias of the system is given in that di-
rection, and this interferes with best
milking qualities. Inattention TO this
matter has brought injury to many a
dairy COW, and has injured her per-
manently; that is TO say, through the
whole of the period of milk giving.
Those habits of the system begotten
in early calfhood become, as it were,
an inherent part of the animal, so
firmly do they cling to them. New

AN EARLY PROHIBITION LAW.


The Lewistown (Me.) Journal prints tho
following:
1t seems there was prohibition law In
Maine much earlier than is generally sup
posed. In paper read by Judge Hall be-
fore the kennebec Natural History and An
tiquarian Society this week attention was
called to law passed by the government of
Gorges at Kittery in 1886 which provided
that Any man that doth sell his neighbor
strong liquor or wine snail suffer his neigh
Dor or servant to continue drinking in the
house, except men invited or laborers ON
working days for an hour at dinner or
strangers or dodgers, shall forfeit ten shil-
ilngs.' Fifty years later 1t was ordered by
the same government 'rhenceforth no
rum, strong liquor. nor Flip shalt be sold to
any inhabitant OF the town directly nor indi-
rectly by any ordinary keeper except In
cases OF great distress or sickness Before
this very brief prohibitory law was passed
by the Duke OF York's government, embrac-
ing the East Kennebec region at Pemaquid.
1t was in these words Ordered: No rum
