CURING KICKING COWS.
An Ounce of Kindness Is Worth
Pond of Pounding.

An Ounce of Kindness Is Worth n
Pound OF Pounding
Much of the trouble caused by kick
ing cows is caused by bad management
On the part of the mixer. In our expe-
rience there is not one cow in dozen
but which, If kindly treated, will soon
dispense with the habit OF kicking with
out severe measures being necessary
It pays 10 be gentle and quiet in hand
ling the cows, and to let them know that
you are their friend and viii not harm
them. They viii soon learn to respect
you If you Will treat them kindly. II
is all well enough for a COW to know and
understand that the che who does the
milking is the -'busine-s manager" but
kick for the good reason that the milk
ing process hurts them, says writer IN
the National Stockman. There are also
occasionally cows that kick from pure
meanness. However, these make eN-
cellent beef.
The gentle Jerseys are fast taking the
place of other breeds on the farm, and
the ones we have are real pets, as gen
tie, quiet and well behaved as need be.
We never have any trouble in milking
time in the yard, without even fasten-
ing them, though we are well aware
that the Jersey has plenty of mettle,
any amount of it, when conditions are
favorable for its development. Let the
dog chase the cows to and from the pas
ture, and this mettle will soon be APP
parent, as will be the decrease in the
yield of milk.
There is another item in regard &c
breaking cows to lead. \ COW that Is
kindly treated can usually be caught IN
the pasture by placing your arm about
her neck. If caught in this way they
will seldom make any effort to get
away Place a five-ring halter on the
cow, as this does not hurt like rope
around the horns or the neck, and most
cows will lead easily with five-rin2
halter a good motto for dairymen &c
put in their hats is this: An ounce OF
kindness is worth a pound of pounding.

CuItivatinE the Orchard.

Many people who pillow their orchards
In spring fail to get the full benefit of
this cultivation by not continuing II
through the summer. All fruit growers
understand that when the orchard gets
into bearing it should not be cropped
But if because there is no crop growing
the orchard is allowed to grow up with
weeds. these are more apt to rob the
soil of what the tree roots require II
is not, however, fertility that the or
ohard most needs, it is moisture. The
object of cultivation in the orchard Is
to keep the surface mulched. so that all
the rains this fall Will sink into the
soil and be retained Very shallow cul-
tivation, repeated after each rain, win
keep the soil beneath always moist, for
il viii prevent the growing of weeds
which suck out all the moisture as fast
IS rains bring it to the soil.

GOOD GARDEN SOIL
1t Is One in Which the Atmosphere
Can Circulate Freely.

1t Is One in Which the Atmosphere
Can Circulate Freely.
What is or what is not good garden
soil is often a great question. The Gus
toner often complains to the nursery
men that, though he planted his trees
in the very best soil, yet he had little
success. Very few people seem to IN
ierstand that good soil is one in which
the atmosphere can freely circulate
The earth must not allow the air TO cir
culate to such an extent as to lose its
moisture, but il must have an abund-
ence of small spaces which will contain
small quantities of air before plants
will thrive. We sometimes speak of ''air
plants" but, in truth, all plants are air
plants, no matter whether growing on
rocks or trees or whether growing in
the earth. Air is of far more conse-
1uence TO the roots than to the leaves
When. therefore, we have stiff clay
earth to deal with. we make good soil
by applying sand. or vegetable matter
which when ii rots viii leave small
spaces in which air may be collected
It is for the same reason that we crush
hard clods, for a hard clod has no air
spaces. When broken to pieees-pul-
verizing is the technical term-we
simply give the chance for atmospheric
air to spread throughout the whole
mass For the same reason. what is
known as a wet soil is bad soil, be-
cause water drives out the air. There is
TO air in earth which is water-tight. It
has been noted that the use of hole in
the bottom of flower pot is rot so
much to allow the escape of water as 4
Is to permit fresher air to flow in the
spaces of earth when the water leaves

AGRICULTURAL HINTS
INTELLIGENT EFFORT.

1t Counts as Much as Money i'm the
Improvement of Roads
The farmer should be particularly in
terested in having good roads, first be-
cause he is usually taxed heavily TO
maintain them-as real estate cannot
escape taxation-and secondly for the
reason that he has occasion TO use them
to a greater or less extent IN the prose
cution of his business. And the last
may often outweigh the first in dollars
and cents, when is taken into con-
sideration the moving Of heavy loads
for a considerable distance over poor
roads.
Here is view of the case that should
not be lost sight of. 1t is not those
alone who drive for pleasure or bust
less over our highways that should ask
for or demand their improved condi-
ton This is for their interest and
convenience. IT is true. and rightly too,

ton counsel of Brooklyn when they

are disagreements between the books

those of the registrar of arrears, and
the department of arrears shows the
utmost confusion in the records The
ledRers are some 225 in number, con.
tanning over 200. 600 accounts which
are not in balance, and apparently
have never been balanced, and while
on January 1, 1897, the balance to the

while the general ledger shows that
arrears of taxes prior to 1898 have been

close many items of unpaid taxes
