An Estimate OF Oratory.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Cut fodder is as economical for
horses as for cattle.
Harden the horse to the collar be-
fore the working season begins.
The trotter can still be improved by
right mating without going abroad.
Keep horses in good condition in
stead of waiting until trouble comes
and then dosing.
Purn up your old nests and put i'll
new material. Now is good time to
guard against lice.
A crowded and unclean house means
sick fowls, when the weather warns
up a little. Clean up and keep clean.
If you are not satisfied with your
fowls, get u sitting of eggs that you
know are all right aud start in with
some that do suit you.
Less medicine and little more
common sense in feeding AMI cariug
for auimals will save horse owners
both money and anxiety.
The coach and carriage horses which
show the most style, combined with
good size and formation, nre the ones
which are in the most demand and
bring the best prices.
More than one hundred horses in
Montgomery County, Missouri, have
died from eating corn stalks. Smut,
con,pned with the quantity OF woody
iibr, consumed, was the causo o.
death.

FOWL CHOLERA.

This disease is due to disorder OF
the liver, the result of overlooking
that is to say, that this error in the
management produces such condi-
tion of the system that the germ OF
the disease has every favorable oppor-
tunity for its development, aud as
these germs are abundantly distributed
in the atmosphere, the disease ap-
pears wherever these conditions ex-
ist, and not otherwise. Thus, to avoid
the disease the food should be of the
right kind. not all grain, or one
single grain, hut grain of mixed kinds,
mostly oats and wheat, and the least
of corn, with some animal matter,
and plenty of fresh. green, vegetable
food. The water, especially, should
be pure and fresh. The most effec-
tive treatment for the disease is to
isolate the sick birds, and give each
teaspoonful of saturated solution OF
hyposulphite of soda twice day but
give no food for several days; plenty
of water, however, should be given. =

ON RAISING CALVES.

The finest calves are produced by
Fhllowing them to get the food from
their mothers in the natural way, but
there is little to prove that these
calves make better COWS than those
raised on skim milk and less expensive
foods, writes w. G. Whitehead, Of
Ohio, to the American Agriculturist.
If the COW is quiet, leave the calf with
her for two days. If she is excitable
and frets for her calf when taken away,
the sooner they are separated the
better for both. Put the calf in a
warm dry place, where it cannot be
seen or heard by the mother. If it
has suckled give it two pints OF warm
milk from bottle. In twelve hours
take pail Of milk, freshly drawn from
its mother, and teach the calf to drink
by letting it suck the fingers. AS soon
as it beginsto relish the food gradually
withdraw the fingers from it's mouth
until it drinks, keeping the hand on
its nose. Then take the hand away
and the calf quickly learns that its
food is in the pail and not in the hand.
A calf will learn in from one to four
lessons according to its intelligence.
Scarcely any two calves will do
equally we'll on the same amount of
food. Take two of the same breed-
one will thrive on five quarts at feed
while the other cannot digest more
than half as much. Experience will
teach the amount each should have.
When this is learned, measure each
calf's ration and avoid sudden changes
in amount. When two weeks old be-
gin to gradually change the ration
from whole milk::to skim:milk. At the
came time add little shelled corn and
wheat bran. Stick bunch of fine
mixed hay where the calf can reach it
and see how soon it will learn to eat it.
The bran, corn and hay are neces.
sary to restore the skim milk to the
nutritive ratio of whole milk. The
nutritive ratio of milk is one of flesh
and tissue-forming to four of heat
producing properties. Fat and sugar
are the principal heat-producing ele-
ments in milk. These are taken off
with the cream, leaving skim milk
narrower or colder ration than nature
provided. To this narrow ration many
add oil meal with nutritive ratio of
IL 4, making very cold ration. Is
it any wonder. that SO many calves
die of scours when robbed in this way
of the heat-producing elements abso-
lutely necessary to life?
The nutritive ratio of wheat bran is
tho same as that of milk, while those
of corn and hay are enough wider to
restore skim milk to cratic of whole
milk. The calf will soon learn to eat
the corn and bran dry from trough
and pick the hay from a manger.
When month old give no moro whole
milk. 1t will grow we'll on its new
ration. Warm all it drinks to tenn
peratnre of ninety degrees F. Gradu
ally increase the other feed as soon as
the calf has learned to eat it and it
will not hurt to continue warming its
drink until spring pasture comes. With
feed of bran once a day and good
pasture let it grow until winter comes
again. Feed it balanced ration in
winter and good grass in summer un-
til it becomes COW.

lastly the beaten whites. Stir lightly
and bake in jelly tins. When cool,
split with sharp knife and between

"Out damned spot" was what troubled
Mrs. Macbeth; but it was something intan-
gible that she saw. In the active season of
spring and summer sports there are spots
that are not visionary. but which bring with
them pain and great discomfort. Bruises,
black and blue, are the accompaniments Of
every active sport They often cripple and
are always sore trouble. Come from what
source they may, the thing to do on the spot
is to use st. Jacobs Oil freely and promptly.
There is nothing surer and it wipes out the
pain as we would wipe Off slate. Ia like
manner sudden attacks of rheumatism, to
which people are liable at this season, can be
promptly cured by applying st. Jacobs Oil
to the pain spot.

keeping. The washing of greasy pots
and pans, or of those to which some
thing has burned or fastened itself SO
firmly that scraping is q disagreeable
necessity, are easily cleaned if small
lump of the soda is put in the pan and
covered with cold water. Set the
utensil over the fire until after dinner
and you will find that all the grease or
crust is loosened and no time has
been wasted. Granite ware and tin
last much longer when cleansed in
this way, which is preferable to the
pot-cleaner that is network of iron

lent to cleanse and whiten unvarnished
and unpainted floors, tables, and
other surfaces, and quite indespens-
able in flushing the waste pipes in the
bathroom and kitchen sinks once or
twice q week. In this case the soda
should be dissolved in boiling water
and used at once. In washing china
q good soap without much soda in it
is better than the soda, unless one
uses plain white dishes, as both soda

Scrub ham all over with stiff brush,
put in cold water enough to cover.
Whom the water boils, pour of. Re.
place with cold water again and repeat
for the third time, throwing away the
water as soon MS it begins to bubble.
Then plunge the ham in boiling water
and let simmer; not boil, for several
hours. Remove from water, slip of
skin, trim off all discolorations on open
end, stick fat on top full of cloves,
and put in hot oven for half hour.
Then you have deliciously cooked
