CON charcoa1 for HOGS.

Fattening hogs eat charcoal greedily,
but that made by charring corn on the
cob is eaten best, and this in our ex-
perience has proven all that is needed
to keep them in health. But in one of
the Minnesota Farmers Institutes,
Theodore Louis tells how he makes cob
charcoal on a large scale where hogs
are kept by the hundred. He digs a
hole five feet square at top and five feet
deep. Into this he throws some cobs,
setting fire to them as they are thrown
in until the hole is filled. Then the hole
is completely covered, banking earth
against the edges of the cover. In Y
hours uncover, and the cobs will be
found completely charred, so that they
will easily .crumble. Six bushels OF
this is then mixed with eight pounds
of salt, two quarts of air-slacked lime
and q bUzz--e2>l of wood ashes. Dissolve

Feeding Value of Apples.


We do not think enough of the value
of the orchard for feeding it's fruits
to the farm animals. Apples are nu-
tritious, and an aid to the good diges-
ton of other food. The mild acid of
them is excellent for the health of the
stock and we all know how gratefully
they will receive feed of them at any
time. For the cows they are especial
~ desirable; peck of them chopped
and sprinkled with meal of any kind
will help much to add to the flow of
milk of the COWS. Horses love this
fruit, and they tend to help in the she'd
ding Of the coat, by their gently laxa-
tive effect. When the selection is made
for the spring planting, a few Of some
of the sweet varieties, ripening from
the summer to the winter, should not
be forgotten for this use. We may be-
gin with the early Sweet Bough for the
first, then the autumn Sweet Bough
and the old Pumpkin Sweet, and for
lateIsHse there are the Talman Sweet
and the Winesap, all productive sorts
and unexcelled for this use as well as
for market.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Ripeninc Cream.

A good way is to hold the cream at a
temperature Of sixty degrees for twelve
to fourteen hours after the first taste of
acid is apparent, and then judgment,
formed from experience, will do the
rest. The method for warming the
cream for ripening is all right, but it
will be necessary to keep the tempera-
ture Of the room at about the tempera-
ture it is desired to keep the cream.
For starter, some ripened cream or
buttermilk from the previous churning
is often used to start the ripening. A
better starter is made by taking some
skim milk from a healthy, fresh-milk-
ing COW, warm it up to So or 80 degrees,
and hold it at that temperature till it
becomes thick. Put into the cream
from three to five per cent. Of this start
er, and if the cream is held at 60 to 65
degrees for twelve to fourteen hours
it will be found sufficiently ripened.-

In q great many households as much
pains is taken to exclude sunlight as
if it were poison. This course is adopt
ed because fears are entertained that
the brilliant radiance will affect the col
or of carpets, furniture and other arti-
cles. But the fact is now coming to be
widely known that sunlight is a won
derful minister of health, and this con-
sideration leads well-informed people
to welcome it, instead of trying to ban
ish and exclude it. Many forms of dis
ease to which man and beast are sub
ject are due to the presence in the hui
man system of microbes or bacilli; and
it is now known that some species of
bacilli are killed by strong sunlight.
This is particularly true of the typhoid
and anthrax germ

Transnlantinp LARGE Trees

When a large tree is removed from
the ground, as much earth as possible
should be taken up with it, SO that the
small, fibrous roots may not be greatly
disturbed The tree will have a much
greater chance of living in it's new loca-
ton if this is done. Dig first about the
trunk at some little distance away, but
do not cut off the big roots that are met.
Follow these out for some distance.
When the trench is dug about the tree,
work under the roots ana get chains or
ropes about the ball Of earth in two or
more directions. Then set long pry in
the manner shown in the illustration,
when the tree can be gently raised. A

Treat them so kindly that they will fol-

would select the finest bred colt and
raise it for a brood mare, using only
the best stock horses. We think from

GIeaninps,

Six weeks is long enough for a cow
to go dry. Some cows will keep right
on giving milk.
Irregularity in stabling, feeding and
watering and milking has been the
cause of many dairy failures.
Red clover is one Of the best plants
for orchards. It keeps the ground loose
and enriches and shades the ground.
Top dress the garden with fine man
ure, and if not we'll drained, throwing
up in ridges will facilitate early work
in the spring.
Good cream rising can only be at
tanned by keeping the milk sweet as
long as possible and skimming off
the cream while the milk is sweet.
All wagons for heavy loads should
have four-inch tires. Good roads are
impossible otherwise. Abate the road
tax of those who use wide tires.
When all artifcials have been tried,
few or none are. so reliable or available
as barnyard manure, which is too much
disregarded by many farmers.
Sows with young pigs need liberal
feeding. If they do not get it, the sow
will fail to give sufficient milk to make
thrifty pigs and the SOW, too, will lose
flesh.
Success in growing peaches demands
frequent examinations in search Of
borers which are found just below the
surface of the ground. We scratch
them out with an old butcher knife.
The sheep is natural gormandizer
and being a frail animal needs plenty
of fresh air and exercise. Don't house
your sheep too closely under the i'm
preston that you are doing them a
kindness.

Oats Need Rich Soil.

The oat crop will make fair success
where other grains would fail. But it
needs rich soil quite as much as any,
and is especially benefited by phos-
phate fertilizers. The average yield is
low, because the crop is generally put
on the poorest soil on the farm. We
have grown 80 bushels of oats per acre
on four-acre field planted the previous
year with potatoes, and with $50
