FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

A great deal of country butter is
overworked.
Salt is a great preventive of disease
among sheep.
Butter should be worked as little as
possible to have the milk worked out
of it.
In case of fire in stables, put sad
die on your horse and you can lead
him out without difficulty.
The power and longevity of the
horse are in exact ratio to the intelli-
gent care and feeding he receives.
just before driving a light feed of
oats should be given instead of
heavier feed of a more bulky grain.
Give the SOW succulent food and
keep her in thrifty condition if you
would have her produce thrifty pigs.
Study the preiudices of your mar
ket and supply brown or white eggs
and white or yellow skinned fowls, as
required.
Horses recovering or suffering from
dobilitating diseases are readily over
come by heat, and<should not be put
to exhaustive work.
The French are conducting series
of experiments in grating" potatoes.
1t is expected to increase the yield and
to hasten maturity.
The breeding stock must be healthy
and vigorous or the eggs will be lack
ing IN vitality and the chicks will be
weak and debilitated.
At the Geneva IN. " Station ex-
periments are being carried on with
over one thousand different varieties
of berries and small fruits.
In training colt the safest rule is
to teach him one thing at time, and
be sure that it is learned thoroughly
before attempting something else.
The COW in France for the dairy in
dustry is not the Jersey, but the Dur
ham, whose beef tendencies are being
reduced in favor of the milk tendency.
After the berries have been picked
it is well to burn over the strawberry
patch. This will not merely kill the
weeds, but the insects that injure the
plants.
To effectively preserve potatoes
when they begin to sprout, gouge out
the eye "skin deep" by means of a
penholder, with the inverted end of
the steel pen.
The trottinS craze has caused many
breeders to forget that fast walking
horse is valuable animal for the
farm, for the road and for all kinds OF
practical work.

There is village called Sammyo-
mura, among the mountains on the
southwest corner of the Province of
Ava, in Japan. II consists of three
hamlets, and has 600 houses in all.
Being cut off by natural obstacles
from other Villages, it still retains its
primitive simplicity, and the in
habitants have always intermarried
and kept an independent spirit of
their own, never asking help, even in
times of greatest difficulty, from other
villages. Recently they have been
invaded by famine. The drought of
last year, followed by similar alb
sence of rain for seventy days tlis
year, have made their crops an utter
failure. Their sugar cane, indigo,
maize, oat and barley fields have
absolutely yielded nothing. But the
villagers, considering it disgrace to
ask help of other villages, resolved to
wait quietly for death. In two of the
hamlets, seventy houses with 334 in
habitants are suffering more terribly
than others from tho famine. Their
neighbors can do nothing to help
them, for it is all they can do to keep
themselves alive. At first they fed
on grass and roots; and when they
were exhausted. they ground husks
and bran, and making them into
dumplings, ate them boiled Even
these fell short Next they turned
their attention to straw, which was
similarly treated, and now there is
not wisp of straw in the village, tho
poor inhabitants lying at night on
bare boarding. Even young men are
now so weak that they cannot handle
their hoes. The matter has been
brought to the attention of the
Japanese Government, and steps are
to be taken for aiding the distressed
villagers. New York Sun.

of steps leads mp to the first level,

woven together so that they make u

floor of smaller diameter, formed in

branches have been woven into solid

light each of the apartments. Below

boughs have been allowed to grow out
naturally, while the intermediate walls
