STRAPS AND ROPES.
How to Make a Tie which No Animal
Can Undo.


AS was driving under the shed of one
Of our stores recently found there a
team already hitched to the manger.
One of the horses had slipped it's bride
from its head and was trampling IL IN
the dirt. After securing my own team,
| also adjusted the dangling bride to its
proper place. Entering the store / met
the owner of the team, and in course of
our conversation / mentioned to him
the condition of his horse as found it..
WELL" he said, mo matter where
and when you tie that horse, he will
either slip his bride or unite the
straps"
From few points of arguments that
were exchanged between us l found
that my friend either did not know the
proper way of bridling horse or tying
strap to the manager.
The throat-latch of his bride hung
far down, so loose that had no trouble
in slipping the bride onto the horses
head without unbuckling the same. A
reverse action, caused by the horse
rubbing his head against a post or
manger would of course allow the bride
to slip off again. 1t is the object of the
throat-latch of halters and brides to
keep them securely in place, and if our
friend had buckled it just loose enough
so it would not choke the horse, the
bride would never have come off. In

HELPFUL FARM NOTES.

Purchase bran and oil meal to feed
with the straw.
A good dairy COW is always hearty
eater and drinker.
The old-time grasses hold their own
against all newcomers.
The successful farmer now must be a
wide-awake business man.
Plan to grow as far as possible all
of the grain grown on the farm.
When early pigs are wanted it is best
to depend upon matured sows.
The advantage in grinding feed de-
ponds largely upon how it is fed.
Do the most of the farm work with
good brood mares or growing colts.
When the hogs begin to bed close to-
gether is the time to look for lice.
During the winter comfort is an inn
portant item in securing a good gain.
Buying stock and then buying feed
to feed them rarely proves profitable.
A calf win never get over the effects
of being stunted during its first winter

FARM AND GARDEN.
SOME TIMELY HINTS.
Make Early Preparations for the
Spring Chicken Crop.

Make Early Preparations for the
Spring Chicken Crop.
1t is not too soon to begin to think
about the chicken crop of the coming
year. 1t is well to have plans perfected
for getting the chicks started as early
as possible.
1t is good rule to set hens as soon as
they are ready to take on the care of a
brood, and if there are some pretty old
hens on the place that have been kept
in good condition, they will begin to
think about sitting soon after the days
begin to get warm.
Have warm and snug place in which
to make the nest for the early sitter, and
when she gets broody allow her to sit a
few days in the place of her choosing,
and then move her some evening to the
place you have prepared and she will
take kindly to the change as the eggs
attract her to the new home.
When the chicks come off do not al
low them to be taken out of doors, but
keep them in some warm place where
they will have light and sunshine if pos
sible, and feed them all they can posi-
Wy Soe. Ills lCCuihS Will hCCp
them quiet and cause them to spend
most of their time under the hen, if they
are at all cold, and they will grow won
derfully.'
Getting chickens out early gives
spring chickens early in the season and
there is no meat food that is more
healthful and delicious.
The farmer who does not have spring
chickens early is missing delicacy that
the dweller in the city pays a high
price for, while the farmer gets it at the
cost of ordinary poultry.
Early Matched pullets are the ones
that lay early in the fall when the older
members of the flock are moulting and
eggs bring good price.
Don't forget the spring chickens nor
fail to prepare to get them out carly

TALK ABOUT DUCKS.
Right Breed to Cross with Pekins
Not Yet Discovered.

In raising 10000 to $4,000 ducks it is
important that one should have the
most suitable stock, writes S. A. Cush-
man to the Plowman. A cut of one
or two cents per pound from the high
est market rates will make great diff
ference in the receipts. The quality
must be the best. The quicker they
grow the shorter the time they must
be kept. The earlier they are put on
the market the higher the price. There
is more profit in one early bird sold at
SIS cents per pound than several late
ones at 13 to 16 cents. Pure white feath-
crs bring the most. James Rankin has
tried all breeds of ducks and finds all
have their outs. Aylesbury ducks have
white feathers, but they and their
crosses are longer in maturing and
tured earlier by ten days or fort
night. Rouens are not only longer in
maturing, but are tender and delicate.
Cayugas are fine, plump birds and lay
as well, eggs hatch as well and duck
lings mature as early as the Pekins,
but they are smaller, have black plum
age and the dark pinfeathers hurt
their appearance. Crosses between the
two were fine and plump, took on fat
as readily and matured as early as the
Pekins, but they came notified in
plumage. had dark skin in patches and
dark pinfeathers, so brought less.
Their features also sell for much less.
A cross between Cayugas and Rouens
gave all the good qualities of the for
mer and are larger than the latter and
make a better table bird, but do not
equal Pekins. Evidently the right
breed to cross with Pel<ins does not
exist or has not been found-that is,
with the present requirements of the
market.

THE SWINE PLAGUE.
what to Do When It's Existence IL
First Suspected.

First Suspected.
Whenever swine plague or hog
cholera is suspected, then is the time to
act, for remedial measures are costly
and arc not usually successful; pre-
ventive measures to be effectual must
be applied soon. Large herds should
be divided into punches, according to
size; clean pastures with a reasonable
amount of shade and an abundance of
pure well water are safer than pens. Do
not permit the use of wallows or of sur
face water under any consideration. 1t
has been found in n series of years that
the highest per cent. of loss has oc-
CURED along the bitches and streams
to which the hogs have access. Use any
ration that will keep the hog healthy.
An occasional drink of soapsuds to ex-
pei worms and the use of charcoal, salt
and ashes as an alternative will prove
beneficial. If the disease should break
out in the herd, separate the well from
the sick aud not the sick from the well.
On removing the well hogs from the
sick, place them on part of the farm
where no diseased animal has been.
Burn those that die, as it is the only
sure method of destroying the germs.
Keep everything clean and let the sun,
as well as good sprinkling of lime or
crude carbolic acid, have chance to do
the disinfecting.-Ru World.

live Goals is placed in the lower COM
partment, handful of tobacco leaves or
stems placed on them and the door
closed. A few holes should be bored in
the floor near the bottom to admit air.
A sliding door on the back of box (not
shown in the cuD is so constructed that
when opened for the purpose of insert
ing or taking out the fowl, it closes the
hole which admits the smoke from be-
low, and when closed after putting in
another fowl the hole is opened and adj
mits the smoke. This smoker can be
used to great advantage when large
number of hens are sitting. Another
use to which such a box may be put is
for Kidding house plants of the green
aphis and in that case one side of the
box may have pane of glass inserted,
so that the operator can tell when
enough smoke has been admitted

She was much frightened but noticed that
in intervals in which her stomach did not
annoy her, her hearts action became normal.
Reasoning correctly that her digestion was
alone at fault she procured the proper med
icine to treat that trouble and with imme-
date good results. Her appetite came back,
the choking spells became less frequent and
finally ceased. Her weight, which had been
greatly reduced was restored and she now
weighs more than for years. Her blood soon
became pure and her cheeks rosy.
The case is of general interest because the
disease is a very common one. That others
may know the means of cure we give the

Care of Farm implements.

Far more waste of farm implements
is due to rust and disuse than is the
wear and tear of them while some one
is working with them. They are too
often left exposed for weeks and
months during the worst weather in
the year. and thus treated will not last
one-third as long. as they should not be
fit to use any of the time. A con-
venient Toulouse near. enough to the
barns to be ai-ays easily accessible,
yet not near enough to be in danger
from fires. will pay better than almost
any Other investment on most farms.
