FACTS FOR FARMERS.

If not done before, now is good
time to preserve and turn up the grape
vines.
Better results can be received by feed
ing the young stock sepa: ate from the
old.
With all stock, two extremes, over
feeding and upderfeeding. are to be
avoided.
All animals that die of contagious
disease should be burned as soon az
possible.
1t is rarely good plan to change
the line of production, simply because
prices are low.
A failing appetite is generally the
first indication that a farm animal is
out of condition.
Considerable of the diseases amoug
farm stock are directly traceable to in
judicious feed and care.
Either milk or calves that woul6
ultimately make large beefers, should

Wound without Delay.
1t is serious thing to be bitten by
any animal, for even though there may
tc 40 poisonous glands. the saliva in
the mouth of animals that bite is al
ways more or less poisonous. The bite
of the hog is more apt to be serious than
hat of any other domestic animal. 1t
requires skill and activity to handle
large numbers of hogs without en-
dangering those who hold them. The
hog is an omnivorous eater, and is not
at all particular about getting particles
of dirt or eNcrement with its food. Old
hogs, which are most apt to bite, often
destroy mice and snakes, and though
they get no venom in their mouths, it
Will poison wherever such saliva
reaches abraded skin. No one who
has sore on his hand should be called
upon to assist in butchering hogs, as
be may be infected from contact with
the saliva without beirS bitten. In all
cases of bite or cut a wash of some
antiseptic should be applied. Diluted
carbolic acid in the proportion Of one
to fifty of water is good, as is also a
weak dilution of corrosive sublimata in
proportion of one of the poison to 900
or 1000 parts of pure water. These
poisons thus diluted do no harm. and
they will prevent poisons from WORKING
in cuts and bruises of any kind.-Ameri,

to the Pacific Ocean on the west and to the
forty-ninth degree of north latitude -.

TO Pike County the late Judge Stark. then
young man fresh from Old Hickory's New
Orleans campaign. He started the nursery
and planted the first grated orchard in the
State, having brought the scions on horse
back from Kentucky.
The business has descended from father
to son, and Is now conducted by the third
generation, assisted by the fourth. This
firm has more than / 900 statesmen and wants
