Catching Files ON Of Cattle.

A machine for catching flies OFF the
backs of cattle, and so afrording the ami
malsreliefand comfort, has been invent
ed by farmer in Madison county, KY.
The fly catcher Is kind of covered pen
or passageway, through which the ami
NAL must walk to secure relief. A few
feet from the entrance there is a cupolS
or dome in the roof of the passageway,
made of glass and arranged as a 1y
trap. Beyond this the passage is dark
ness. The animal walks through the
machine, and just as it passes under the
dome and enters the darkest part a set
of brushes sweep of the flies, which
naturally rise into the lighted dome,
and the steer passes out at the other
side free Of flies. The flies are retained
in the dome trap. The inventor has ex~
perimented with his machine, and finds
that the animals soon learn the value Of
the machine and know enough to walk
through the machine when the flies be-
gin to bite. The device has been pat.
ented.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Do not plant corn too deep.
Most farmers ought to be fruit eat
GERS.
Secure seed north rather than south of
you.
Be careful not to overwork the young
colts.
1t is a good plan to mulch newly set
trees.
To oprofit by mistakes is the beginning
Of systematic effort.
Time spent in looking after the COM
fort of the work teams is time we'll
spent.
When the teams are allowed to rest
IN the fields pull the collars away from
the shoulders.
A young animal should never be al
lowed to fall off in condition sufficient
to retard it's growth.
Preserve the health, vitality and use
fulness of your cows by giving them a
change Of food occasionally.
Never make the selection of the brood
sows until a reasonable age has deyel-
oped the good and bad qualities.
Teach your horses to act promptly
when you speak to them, by doing SO
you may save yourself much annoy
ance.
To do the best work in keeping down
the weeds the cultivation should be
.cOmmenced before the weeds get well
started.

The use of cracked corn is more large
ly employed among those who breed the
smaller breeds Of poultry, yet Somo use
it with all varieties. A better way
would be to buy smaller kernel corn
or plant q dwarf variety that would
avoid the necessity Of cracking IL at the
mill. In doing so, says an exchange,
you get Just what Is wanted and avoid
tho trouble Of having to pay for great
deal Of meal made In grinding the corn,
which is not eaten by the flock, and
permitting It to lie In the feed bins

chicks, una Lne cnicAs themselves will
be stronger than those from eggs laid
later In the season. There is another
advantage also, as the early chicks get
through their moplting before cold
weather sets in next fall, and with good
feeding Of egg-making material they
will lay most of the time next wintOr.
A late-hatched chick has TO be kept
through one winter before IL begins to
lay, and thea It produces eggs only
when the price Is the lowest.

Ashes Are Good for Orchards.


The man who has even a small plot
of ground to tend, and throws his ashes
out into the street or highway, or any
where else to get wasted, has surely a
crack in his hog-trOugh," and In his
head, too. Ashes contain potash and
phosphoric acid, two valuable plant
foods. They also have excellent me-
chanical effect, making clammy
ground friable when mixed Herewith,
and soil naturally too loose is made
more compact by their application.
Apply them literally to fruit trees and
plants, garden vegetables, and, in fact,
anywhere a crop of any kind is to be
raised, thoroughly mixing with tho
soil, and grand success will result

What Makes q Fertile sOnP

Soils are either fertile or barren I'm
fertile). The fertile soil may be best
described by negative properties, or the
absence of any of those elements which
go to make barren soil. The more
closely a soil approaches happy mix
ture of the four elements, sand, clay,
lime and vegetable matter, the more
nearly win it approach perfect soil,
both physically and chemically. The
nearer it approaches to the composition
of one single element to the exclusion
of others, the nearer will it approach to
barrenness, or infertility. 1t would be
useless to describe the thousand and
one grades of composition which lie be-
tween these extremes, and equally use
less to try to classify them.-Farmers'
