Care of Imp1eme

Take care of the farm implements
and machinery. It would seem that
no warning is necessary on this point,
but it would surprise the general read

try to note the evidences Of careless
ness that are so often seen. The proyi-
dent and painstaking farmer has a
place for his implements where he sees
to it that they are housed and properly
cared for when they are no longer re-
quired In the cultivation Of the crops.
His improvident neighbor sometimes
leaves his implements where they are
used last or about his premises, with
out shelter. Even his harvester or
moving machine is leftin the field long
after it has been used, subjected to
all kinds of weather and inevitable in

neglect, and the period when a new
machine will be necessary Is much
shortened. The care Of tolls is an i'm

word in season, while not necessary for
the provident" man, may be serviceable

Fencing Farms.

A farm should be divided into as few
fields as possible. 1t is not necessary
to have more than two fenced fields;,
and these fields should be used only
for pasture, alternately. One year two,
crops of hay should be cut, and the next
year it should be used for pasture
II possible have these pasture f1etdS
close to the barn, so that the stock can
be turned out day and night. Where
land is worth $50 to $3.50 per acre, it.
does not pay to pasture. 1t Is more
economical to grow soiiing crops and
feed the stock in the stable, having not
more than five or ten acres for the
stock to exercise in and Craze over
The outside fence should be made or
four strands of ribbon wire, setting the
posts twenty feet apart and thirty
inches deep in the ground. A fence OF
this kind can be cheaply built, as the
posts can be obtained from the woods,;-
and if they have to be bought, they can
be had for eight cents each undressed-
delivered on the place. Some farmers
set the posts forty feet apart. driving
down stout oak stakes to fasten the
wire upon every ten feet. II the work

Dafrying in Russia

Following is a description Of the
manner of dairying in Russia. Our
readers will doubtless prefer the home
method. Those who reside near cities
produce some poor butter and some
milk for sale, but those living remote
from market produce no more than
they can consume. The cows are fed
in winter on coarse food, such as oat.
barley and rye straw. In summer they
give but little milk, twelve to fourteen
pounds per day at most. The milking
is done by stripping with thumb and
finger The milk is set in cellars in
earthen crooks, which are so porous
that they are very hard to clean, and
the milk sours very quickly. To avoid
this difficulty some of the peasants
keep number of small frogs in their
cellars for the purpose of putting in
their milk, their idea being that these
cold creatures take the heat out of
their milk, and they put them in to
keep it sweet longer. The cream is
dipped off with wooden spoons and
churned in an earthen pot by stirring
with stick, and the butter is worked
with the hands.

Longevity and Sleeping by Compass

Longevity ana sleeping Dy compass
A Magdeburg physician, according to
the Lyon Medical, who died recently at
lne age of 100, attributed his remark
able longevity to his constant practice
Of sleeping with his head to the north
and his feet to the south. He consider
ed this position most favorable to the
magnetic currents which run constant
ly toward the north pole, and increase
the energy of the vital principle. A
correspondent Of DR.. Felix Bremond

ton to which he was subject ceased
when he placed the head Of his bed q
little east of north. This position Of
the head Of the bed brought him more
sound and peaceful slumber, and with
such regularity that when he wished
to rise earlier than usual in the morn
ing, all he had to do was to change the
direction of the head Of his bed, when
his sleep became lighter and Of shorter
duration. Dr. Bremond himself, how
ever, found that the direction Of his
body made no difference to the sound
ness Of his slumbers, provided he went
to sleep in comfortable bed, at the

The farmer who takes up the sheep
business with the idea that the outside
of the animal is worth more than the

dilemma. It's mutton first, and wool
afterward.-Alpha.
One bushel Of shelled corn or wheat
to every 100 head Of sheep per day is:
about right. Oats are excellent feed ;.
and Kaffir corn would be excellent. Do
not make their feed-troughs V-shaped,
as they will scoop up the shelled corn
too rapidly. Here is point that seems
unimportant, but it represents many

Keeping Milk.

Milk Is sure to absorb any odors with
which it is brought In contact. Cream
and butter, having a greater proportion
Of fats, absorb odors even more quick
~ than milk. This fact emphasizes
the necessity of keeping both milk,
cream and butter out Of reach Of foul
odors of any kind. This can hardly be-
done while the milk is kept where the
odor Of cooking vegetables Of all kinds
can reach it. Almost any kind Of odor.
from cooking, when combined with
butter fats, soon becomes exceedingly
offensive, as in the fat the character
of the odor is greatly changed.

SPRAYING.

Spraying has a tendency to heighten4
the color Of red apples and to give
blush to the light skinned Sorts This
is due largely to the effect upon the
foliage. 1t must be considered that the
foliage is the lung Of the tree, and with
out good, healthy foliage we cannot
reasonably expect bright, healthy look
ing fruit. When the foliage is healthy,
the apples will hang longer on the trees,
giving them more time to mature, so as,
to bring them to the highest state OF
observation-disclosures Fruit Grower.

1t appealed strongly to French in

through which France has passed
since that time. and it's bit of red rib
bon is still considered sufficient re-
ward for most important services to
the state. Napoleon III. bestowed the
decoration SO widely and with so little
regard for the character Of the men
whQm he made chevaliers that for a
while the order fell into some disre-
pute. Toward the close of that unfor-
tunate monarch's reign there were
about $4,000 civil members, besides all
those who had been decorated as SOL
diers. To restore the prestige of the
order, an act was passed in 1872 pro-
viding that only one new chevalier
should be nominated for every two va
cancies caused by death. The effect
has been to reduce the number Of civil
knights to 10000 but recent ministries
have found the awarding Of the few
favors of this sort at their disposition
created for them vastly more enemies
than friends. The Meline cabinet has
solved the difficulty, for itself, at least,
by introducing and securing the pass
age Of law repeating the act of 1872,
and substituting for it one fixing the
number of civil knights permanently
at 10000. There was long debate in
the Chamber Of Deputies on this bill,
and the socialists opposed it fiercely,
but the measure finally passed by a
vote of 344 to 124.-New York Times.
