Lice on Calves and Ticks on Sbaan-

When putting stock up for the winter
every animal should be examined, and
what vermin is found on it should be de-
stroyed, says al exchange. During the
summer while stock is at pasture, the
animals will relieve themselves by rub
bling their bodies on bare soil wherever
they can find it. There is no cheaper in
sect exterminater than road dust.
Wherever stock has access to the public
highway it will lie in the road and roll,
so as to expose all parts of the body to
the dust. Sheep in summer will lie in
the burrows, as we have often seen them
when put in to pasture down field that
is being plowed. That destroys most but
not all the ticks. In barns and stables
there is no such chance for stock to rid
itself of vermin. Most of the lice and
ticks will, after a few days, settle on the
animals that are thin in flesh. Rub
grease freely about the head, neck and
shoulders, where the vermin will be most
plentiful, then feed literally so as to put
some inside fat under the skin, which will
prove the best preventive Of any return
of these parasites. 49,.

Training Mich Cows.

Those who first handle the young mich
COW should be gently disposed and eX-
perienced mixers. It is very erroneous
practice to allow young met or boys to
do the first milking. Such are not like
ly to have proper patience with young
period. The greatest care sh0uld here be
taken, for on this initiatory step depends.
to great degree her future docility.
Hence the Importance of careful manage
ment, that Objectionable habits be not
formed. Let the movements be slow, the
words gentle, and nothing menacingly
displayed, as with whips or stick. The
feeling of the young COW toward her
keeper should be one of confidence and
trustfulness. She should not be given
the slightest reason to fear a blow or
even harsh word.
It is but natural for a young COW with
her first calf to be suspicious and fearful,
and even resentful. Her newly-awakened
maternal affections cause her to mistrust
harm to her calf, and when it comes to
handling her udder. this being something
new and strange, is, of itself, enough to
cause her to make strenuous opposing
efforts. These freaks should be met
with patience and forbearance, and no
loud, boisterous expressions or threaten
ing motions, as of kicking or striking, be
made; for, if so, the frightened COW dash
es about, and is very apt to kick as she
goes, and eventually this becomes an es-
tablished habit with her, which will be
hard to break. And when this habit of
kicking is once formed, the COW is likely
to kick whether there is any provoking
cause for it or not. Some cows are pro-
vokingly unruly naturally and prone to
kick from mere Wantonness, hence the
great necessity in carefully training. In
such unruly cases it usually becomes nee
essary to resort to some means of re-
striction, such as straps or ropes, with
which to fetter the cows rebelious limb.
For this purpose various methods are
used. Some employ strap or rope
drawn tightly around the body just in
front of the udder. This, with some
cows, does very we'll, while with others
it fails to subdue the spoiled temper.
Combining the hind legs so that the COW
cannot move them answers we'll enough
when it does not brighten the COW, which
it does some to such an extent as to
make them uncomfortable. The best
method, perhaps, is to have a strap or
rope with clasp easy of adjustion at
one end; this can be easily clasped
around the right hind leg and the other
end made fast to stake or the wall,
and very gently drawing the cord tight.
This will prevent the use of the limb,
and will be less apt to excite fright.
When the teats are cracked or other
wise sore, the COW is likely to kick from
pain given by milking. Something should
be used to heal and harden the teats.
Carbolized vaseline is very good for this
purpose. It should be applied after milk

The farmers would do we'll to spend
some of their leisure hours this winter in
considering whether they cannot add
something to the variety of their crops
either for sale or home use, which will
be profitable to them without adding very
much to their labor or cares. The day
for specialties has passed. excepting for
men who know how to grow only one
crop, or who are on land which is only
fitted for one purpose, or those who are
limited by circumstances to certain crops.
Southern planters limited themselves to
cotton, and depended upon the sale of
that crop until they found that years
came, and came too often, when the cot
ton sold would not pay for what they
must buy or had already bought We
need not 20 so far to find men who have
made specially of tobacco, hons. Or
something else, until they acknowledged
that in not more than one year in ten
was the price high enough to leave them
fair pay for labor and interest for CAPT
tai invested, after they had paid actual
expenses.
Wheat growers, although not many of
them have limited themselves to that
crop alone, speak as if they had found but
little profit in the business for severa
fruits tell regretfully of the days when
to pay for the land on which it grew, and
sigh for such good old days, which will
never return.
But there are other cases than these
where farmers might increase their list
of crops to good advantage. even though
they are not now limited to one leading

The recent cold weather and the snow

Accordingly Chief of Police Dyer was
instructed to have them notified to meet

O'Clock yesterday afternoon in order that
an understanding might be reached be-
tween the overseers and mayor and chief
of police. by which the worthy poor could
be assisted, while ut the same time the
city might be protected from impostors.
Accordingly ut the hour named u meet
ing was held in the city engineers office,
over which Mayor Andrews presided, and
the following officers of the city were
present: City Engineer Wingate, Chief Of
Police Dyer, Overseers of the Poor Watts,
of the First ward; Mitchell, of the Sec
ond; Fox. of the Third; Brown, of the
Fourth; and Hudson, of the Fifth.
After n conference of half an hour or
more n system was devised by which,
with the cooperation of the mayor and
chief of police, the overseers of the poor
will provide food and fuel for such per-
sons us are actually in need of assistance.
The prompt action of the mayor and
chief of police in this matter Is highly
commendable and substantial benefits to
the suffering poor of the city are sure to
