FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Slow milking is injurious to the COW.
Milk rapidly.
The Pekin is generally esteemed
the most profitable variety of duck.
Lead COW rather than drive her.
Gentleness should be the wstohword
TO the dairy stable.
The aim in breeding should be to-
wards q higher standard In order to
compensate for the deterioration in
prices.
Make up your mind to have better
roads this summer between your farm
and the station from which you do
your shipping.
Pudding the roots of plants when
transplanting them is of the greatest
benefit TO them. Soil and water is
mixed until it is like paste. Into this
the roots are dipped.
1t is very certain that the butter
must come from the food and that the
better the food the more butter . COW
will give. Experience has shown that
corn meal is the best food for rich
milk.
If the SOW is in fairly good condi-
tion at narrowing her pigs will be
plump and fat--thst plumpness and
fatness should be kept mp without
moments falling away till they go to
shambles.
The man who makes it . rule 20
milk his COWS In the stable is the one
who has the least trouble with them.
1t takes but. a minute to put them in
and turn them out, and this time is
we'll spent.
TURKEYS, as q rule, do best to have
their own way in nesting, setting and
caring for their young, but the older
ones are likely to bacome 80 gentle
and obedient as to conform cheerfully
to the feeders plan.
The cracking of the fruit OF pears,
observed oftentimes in the Flemish
Beauty and the White Doyenne. IL
caused by sfungus. Spraying, asnov
generally practiced, will make an end
of this fungus, no doubt.
For a small lawn the best invigor-
ator il a gill of nitrate OF soda once q
week in a pail of water, applied with
watering pot, over an area OF 100
square feet. The grass will quickly
respond TO such treatment.
When the sheep GO TO pasture, q
place should be provided for the lambs
in which they can enter and get lit
tie grain food. This helps them very
much aud will add fully a fourth to
their growth during the summer.
Don't overload young horses. II
there Is q heavy load TO be hauled use
the older animals, remembering that
the bone and muscle are not properly
developed and set until after the
horse has attained his sixth year.
The head of the gsnder is somewhat
coarser than that Of the goose aud his
cry is harsher. There is no difference
in the form or plumage of the two
sexes, and, es a rule, the gsnder -
distinguished only by his pugnscity.
By hurdling and letting the stock
eat down q portion of the field at .
time, pasture can be made 10 go further
than BY the common method. This
plan can be followed with sheep aud
hogs without very much extra lsbo-.
When a mare refuses TO dry or
caress her offspring q little -four or
meal sprinkled upon il will sometimes
attract hsr kin lily 10 1t, but should
this fail the foal must be dried by rub
bing with soft flannel aud induced TO
take milk.
In raising turkeys this year remem-
ber that the big ones are no longer In
demand, and can only be sold at re-
duction. Birds ranging from ten 10
fifteen pounds, at Ave months, are the
KIDD wanted. Twelve pounds is 8
good weight and q popular size.
II you have not q sufficient number
Of sovs, or cows or mares 10 pay for
keeping thoroughbred male yourself,
get come OF your neighbors 70 join you
in the purchase Of one. A joint owner
ship OF this sort IL better than 10 be all
the time paving ont large service fees
