LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Grade up your stock, for both home
and foreign markets require a better
quality of meat than ever before.
A eve should not be required to
move about much for few hours after
Landing. If her teats are closed against
the efforts of the lamb, squeeze them
out with the wctted fingers.
A eve which disowns her lamb OF
one which is required to adopt another
should be confined alone with it in a
dark place, and out of hearing of other
sheep, and she should be held several
times day for it to suck.
In order to secure the many dcsira
BILE good qualities which go to make
up first-class flock of sheep, greiLt
care is taken in the selection of a buck
with reference to the particular flock
of ewes with which he is to be put.
Before sheep are changed from hay
to grass in the spring they should be
carefully looked over, and all horns and
hoofs that threaten to be troublesome
carefully removed. The hoofs can be
taken off with pruning shears, but a
fine saw is needed for horns.
Economy and parsimony are two
different words. Economy in feeding
is not reducing the amount, for it is the
most expensive way of doing. Dispose
of the higher priced foods and buy
cheaper ones; feed bran instead of corn;
make full use of the corn fodder and
the straw pile.
There is real economy in feeding
straw and corn fodder. There is no
question but that stock can be wintered
as well upon these as upon high priced
hay. When these are fed with bran,
having higher albuninoid ratio, they
enable an animal to digest and assimi-
late better than when corn is fed with
them.-Farmer's Voice.

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Thick, we'll refined honey will not
granulate so rapidly as that which is
thin.
A large number of extra combs are
necessary when extracted honey is the
plan to be followed.
Bees are profitable because they
gather up and store away that which
would otherwise be lost.
The best food for bees in winter is
thick clover honey, to which white
sugar sirup may be added.
Bees serve as active agents in the
fertilization of plants and are not &c
Structive in the smallest degree.
No trash of any kind should be left
on the bottom boards, as this will fur
nish good nest for the moth miller.
Hives may be placed anywhere, high
or low, wherever it is most convenient
to the beekeeper, as it makes no diff
ference to the bees.
Beekeeping, when combined with
fruit growing, enables one to procure
a double crop from the same land with
out additional fertilizing.
Do not pull up covers that the bees
have closely sealed down. They want
their houses air-tight at the top to pre-
vent ventilation or cold draughts.
One of the best places to locate hives
is in the orchard, as usually there the
bees will be less free from annoyances
and will be less liable to annoy any
thing else.-St. Louis Republic.

THE MATCHING PROCESS.
How to Tell Perfectly Fresh Eggs iron
Unfertile Ones.

How to Tell Perfectly Fresh Eggs from
Unfertile Ones.
1t is common practice for those buy
ing eggs to hold them up to the light.
and such as have had any experience
can in this way easily tell whether an
egg is fresh or stale. A perfectly fresh
egg will have a comparatively clear
look, with the air space of only moder-
ate size; whereas a stale egg will not
have such q clear look, and the air space
will be larger, according to the age of
the egg. In addition to this there are
other indications, such as the appear
ance of the shell, which, in the old egg,
loses that bloom SO striking in new
ones. Unfertile eggs are always clear
no matter how long they have been sat
upon. There are those who say that
the sex and fertility of the egg can be
told before they are set. All sorts of
plans have been put forth and declared
to be sure and infalliblc tests as to the
sex of chickens, such as the shape of the
egg, the time of day it is laid, ETC., but
these have been found, when tested, to
lie unreliable, or at any rate not suf-
HNlIhlly 1CiIcOlC W NC StCCCDJSQ. lldG
the fertility of the egg may be proved
before it is set, we are not prepared to
deny, as we have known persons to pick
out fertile eggs by breathing on the
broad end, and must acknowledge that
they have proved to be correct in
large number of cases. We have never
been able to disprove this test, and
have often found it to be correct, but
Tot sufficiently so as to rely entirely
and unreservedly upon it. When work
ing an incubator there is no need for it,
for we have always been able to dis
cover 60 hours after they have been put
into the machine whether the eggs were
fertile or not; and as the quality of
barren eggs is then unaffected in any
way, it is not worth running any risk
with the other tests.-Prairie Farmer.

NEWSY FARM NOTES.

Sheep do we'll on corn fodder.
An egg freezes at about ten degrees
above zero.
A sugar refining company is about to
be formed in Japan.
Feed the table scraps before they
have become soured.
Cranberries are being successfully
cultivated in Dare county, NC.
Feeding the fowls too much cayenne
pepper is apt to produce liver trouble.
In Butte county, CAL, eight olive
trees are reported to have yielded 45O
gallons of oil.
A large part of the food used on the
farm goes back to the land through
the manure heap.
A warm house, varied diet, plenty
of exercise and very early Matched last

ents of the winter eggs.
The New York horse show cleared
about 100000 for the stockholders. The
trotting-bred horses won nearly al the
prizes in driving and carriage classes.
In feeding barley to hogs the best re,
suits are obtained by grinding the grain
and soaking 1t for i've or six hours be-
fore feeding. II given whole much OF
the barley will pass undigested.
While the first cross often unites the
good qualities of both parents, any at

that the progenitors have in common

1t has been said that the plant IS

a mistake. 1t is at least known that
cattle sometimes eat sparingly of it
without serious results.
The cocklebur is common to barn

and cultivated grounds. There are sew

Horse Meat as Hen Food.

Hundreds of barrels of cooked horse
meat are sold every winter to poultry
raisers. The horse flesh is cooked in
tight tanks under steam pressure of
As pounds. This penetrates every par
ticle of the meat, purifying and cooking
it thoroughly. In this form the meat
will keep from one to four weeks, ac-
cording to the weather. There is no
practical way of preserving horse meat
for any length of time. Where it can
not be cooked by steam it should be
boiled. The meat might be sailed the
same as beef, but it would have to be
freshened before being used, and it is
Il question whether it would then be a
safe feed for hens. 1t is good food for
egg production. One of the most popu-
lar brands of poultry meat on the mar
ket is made from carefully prepared
and well cooked orsefesh.-Americar
Agriculturist.

Overlooking Is Dangerous.

Overlooking of fattening. hogs is
fruitful source of disease and waste.
Many think it makes no difference
if hogs do leave a lot of feed at one
meal, that they will return and eat
it up when hungry, SO Sbat there is
nothing wasted. If hogs are overfed
1t knocks them off their regular feed
for a time, and this is always a loss;
besides, it renders the inception of
disease much easier, especially the
"thumps" and apoplexy. 1t is best to
feed regularly, at stated times, and
when fattening, all that they will eat
up clean. They will keep better and
thrive better than is possible by keep
ing feed before them all the time. It
Is what the animals digest and assim-
hate and not what amount they eat
that determines the gain in proportion
to the amount Of food eaten.-Colman's

THE CITIZEN FREDERICK FRIDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY

old rut he got into 90 years ago, when
his land was virgin and the prices of
farm products high. Labor was high
too, then, and he economical by NOV
ing his animals about, feeding here and
there in odd corners in the woods or
along the road, wherever it happened
to be convenient, or where it would
save the trouble of cleaning up after
wards, for he regarded the manure as
simply waste product.
These habits cling to him still to far
greater extent than he is aware of.
He thinks that he saves his manure, or
at least ''all that is worth the bother"
but fully one-half of it is still lost and
the remainder is thrown out, to be
leached by every passing storm, while
an insufficiency of bedding causes the
almost total loss of the liquid manure
Though this farmer keeps double the
amount of stock that his careful neigh
Dor does, he has always fewer loads of
manure to haul. He says he cannot
understand it, and gets very indignant
at the suggestion that he, a farmer
horn and bred, can learn anything from
all engraver, whom failing health and
sight have driven to an outdoor life
Yet the beginner is already doing bet
ter than the old farmer. He says his
only strong point is his manure heap,
but it struck me that he is succeeding
because that same care is bestowed on
every part of the farm. He finds moth
ing too much trouble, and consequently
there are no leaks to run away with the
profits.-C. ID. Bell, in N. Y. World.

FLOORS FOR STABLES.

In the Long Run Cement Is More Eco
nOmical Than Wood.
In the western prairie states wood
is perhaps the most extensively used
material for flooring stables for stock.
It is largely used on account of it's con-
venience and general adaptability,
though there is a growing feeling that
it is OH the whole quite satisfactory.
The plank floor is short lived; it is
made water-tight with difficulty, and
above all it is Objectionable for horses
that are confined much to the stall.
For cattle and hogs the same objec-
tions prevail to a considerable degree.
Cement floors are gaining in favor and
are quite acceptable though rather ex-
pensive. They should also be covered
floors in the new station barn have
been in use over a year now and have
given good satisfaction. When we'll
bedded they are very satisfactory for
cattle, hogs and sheep. The station
floors were made by laying three
inches of concrete composed of five
parts of clean, sharp sand to one of
Portland cement. well mixed and
packed well on a foundation of sand
and gravel, and the surface was then
finished with three-quarter inch COW
ering of cement and sand in proportion
of four of cement to seven of sand and
troweled smooth and level except as
otherwise provided. These floors have
worn well even where horses wearing
shoes have walked on it. Such a floor
is cold in winter. however, unless used
inside of warm building and bedding
used freely. This kind of floor may
be made at a cost of ten cents a square
fOot.-C. F. Curtiss, in Rural Life.

Cost of Keeplng Hon.

Some one has decided that a hen can
be kept for less than SO cents a year.
It is poor specimen of hen that will
not lay ten dozen eggs year. At the
low price of ten. cents . dozen, this
would leave net profit of so cents.
At this rate it will pay every farmer
to keep flock of hens and give them
proper care There is no danger Of
overproduction. AS long as the United
States annually imports millions Of
dozens of eggs, the market viii not be
glutted.--Rural World.

ANATOMY OF A BEE.
.TAe Most Wonderfully Constructed Of AZ
Useful Insects.


Useful Insects.
A bee is divided into three sections
head, thorax and abdomen. 1t has five
eyes-three in the form of triangle
in the center of the forehead, and one
on each side of the head. These, looked at
under a microscope, are very beautiful.
The antennae are the two flexible
black horns on the head; with these
bees recognize each other, and In them
are supposed to be located the ex-
tremely sensitive organs of smelling
and hearing. They are to the bee vel y
much what the brain is to man. A
bee deprived of her antennae loses
her power of movement.
In the head and thorax OF the worker
bee are the nursing glands, which Sc
crete a milky food fed TO the larvae.
These glands are very large in the
young worker while they act as nurses,
but reduced in She old bees o. brood
less colony. In the old bees they wither
more and more till they become shrunl :
en- and seemingly withered up. The
queen, when egg-laying is also fed from
these glands. When honey is coming
freely, and the queen is well fed, she
has very wonderful power of pro-
ducing eggs, laying over 1900 per day.
or more than three times her own
weight.
In bees, as in all insects. the skeleton
that supports the body is not internal
es in animals, but mostly external. and
is formed of horny substance called
chitine, which is flexible and is capable
OF being nodded into every conceivable
shape and appearance. 1t forms the
hard back of the repulsive coclxroach.

SAVING TIE MANURE.
Different Methods of Performing Thu
Important Work.

Different Methods of Performing This
Important Work.
There is as great difference in the
way two men will save manure on a
farm as in the way they will care for
their stock or raise their crops. One
farmer will recognize the value of the
manure and will add straw and all
sorts of rtislse, working them in and in
cooperating them together so AS to make
an excellent article. Such a method
was Systematically carried out on =

Iner. Nothing was wasted either inside
the house or out. Whatever was not of
value for pigs or chickens was set aside
for the compost heap. Itdid not matter
how trifiing. NJ amount, it always
found its way there during the course
of the day. AS a result the owner is
steadily bringing up arundown farm at
the yearly expenditure of very small
sum for commercial fertilizers, while
his next-door neighbor, with originally
better land, larger means and more
extended experience, is rapidly becom-
ing bankrupt.
The change in their circumstances is
being brought about by their different
methods of handling the manure ques-
ton. The old farmer is going on in the

The internal skeleton, hard for the

beautiful adaptation to the strain to
which it may be exposed, gives con-
