FACTS FOR FARMERS.

10 get good horses, breed right and
then feed right.
Keeping the harness. especially the
collars, we'll oiled will help prevent
gals.
The nearer you get to full blood In
breeding the better will be the re-
suits.
The thrift and condition of the moth
er largely determines what the pig will
be.
A well-fed pig is usually a ~contented
one, and will usually take only such
exercise as is needed for health.
On the farm, as elsewhere, economy
of time and space requires every team
to accomplish the greatest mount OF
work.
The quality OF the meat may be
readily improved by careful and clean
" feeding, as well as changed by the
kinds of food.
Horses may get fat and look well
standing in the stable all Of the time,
but they will hardly be in a condition
to stand hard times.-Farmers' Union

FARM AND GARDEN.
FARM FISH
An unteresting Industry and one That
Can lie Made to Paw.

IN ~ - IA
Can lie Made tn Pay.
For many years past the government
has been at great pains and expense in
establishing and keeping up piscicul-
ture establishments. And millions upon
millions OF fish nave been Matched and
distributed to private individuals and
turned loose In the water courses in
various parts OF the country, and have
persisted for the want of proper atten-
ton. And the public, generally, have
derived but little benefit for the money
expended. In foreign countries, fish
culture has been profitable, and il could
be made profitable in this country pro.
vided the farmers would turn their at
tention to 1t. and prosecute it with
Judgment and energy. Every owner OF
a farm Of any dimensions can have his
own private fish pond, and supply his
table with the rarest and best of food at
little expense. And fresh fish Is always
ready sale in the country markets. On
n great majority Of the farms there il a
place worth but little for cultivation
that might be converted into an excel.
lent fish pond, and made 10 yield its
proportion Of food for the sustenance
of the family. But so far, farmers. or at
least very few Of them. seem TO have
given the matter any attention. ] know
but one farmer in my neighborhood
who has given the matter any thought.
and he has been remarkably successful.
Ponds intended for fish culture (i
possible) should be made where there
is an abundance of shade, and made a
deep as possible. so that when full there
will be 10 possible danger of their freez-
ing TO the bottom. And on the bottom
should be placed large fiat stones witt
their edges elevated by placing another
stone under them. Under these stones
the fish will go for protection either il
very cold or hot weather. The margins
Of the pond should be made slantine
gradually. Water growth should be let
grow around the edges, as it has a ten
dency to shade the water and keep II
cool and fresh. The purer the water
can be kept the better. Consequently
stock nor fowls should have access te
it. for when the water becomes impure
the fish are not good for food. Anc
they soon sickcn and die.
The German carp. the California salm'
on, the pike, the shad and many Other
kinds have their admirers, and are high
ly recommended, but for hardy kinds
and those most likely TO thrive, l woult
not exchange the bass, the buffalo. thu
perch and the cat Of our own NATIVE
streams for any others. Fish, like every
thing else confined to narrow quar-
ters, should be regularly fed. Coarse
bread Of any kind without salt or grease
is an excellent food. When wanted fol
table use they can be taken with a clip
net or small sieve and the small fr.
returned to the pond. c. Glover, il

Frightening or IlI-Treattng Must Re
studiously Guarded Against.
When a colt has been left till three
or foul years old, as is often the case.
before any attempts are made TO ham
die him, il is wise 10 devote, IL posi-
BILE, at least a month to the process OF
gentling. as a preliminary to actual
breaking. Frightening or ill-treating
such an animal must be studiousiy
guarded against. Speaking from a
varied experience. the writer is con-
vinced hat to engage in any struggle
with a young horse is in the highestde-
gree unwise if it can possibly be
avoided. The fight to halter a strong
animal will give him a severe fright,
and one which it takes him a long
time to forget; and, besides this, II he
should succeed in breaking away dur
ing the effort to fix his halter. he will
become conscious Of a victory gained
over his master-a fact which will not
soon be dispclled from his mind. The
knowledge of success in an attempt
to break away not only induces ob-
stinacy in future stages of his tuition.
but will also prompt him to resist by
every means in his power a repetition
Of the effort to halter him at the time
When wishing to halter a young horse,
there is no plan so good as to moose
him quietly first of all. and the best
way Of doing this is to drive him
gently through q partly open gate
preferably that of a yari in which ne
has been confned-where q moose Is
suspended by cotton in such a manner
that he cannot pass out without lodg-
ing the rope round his neck or shoulders.
The moose must be knotted SO that 1t
cannot pull quite tight round the neck,
while the loose end should be Is or
20 feet long. When the animal has
been driven back to the yard, the end OF
the rope can be secured and the moose
drawn close up TO the head. II .
steady pull is kept upon the rope, the
horse will turn and face his trainer,
who should approach him quietly and
gradually. II the animal Is very nerv-
Gus. wait for a few minutes without
moving. and then again approach him,
always keeping the rope taut. When
at last within reach, rub his ears and
forehead with the halter for awhile
und then slowly place IL In position
He should next be coaxed into the
stable, or wherever it is wished to tic
him up. A young horse must never
be forced into a building Of which he
is suspicious. If he is led up to thu
door,, and the trainer, allowing six OF
seven feet Of rope, stands inside, and
keeps a gentle tension on the halter
the animal will eventually make up his
mind TO enter. although 1t may TAKE
him half an hour to do so.-Londor

if the Sacramento Convention should agree
