when Horses Have Henves.

There is no cure for heaves; it can
only be ameliorated or lessened in ex-
tent by feeding on nutritive material
in small bulk, and more frequent ra-
tions. All voluminous and coarse food
should be avoided, such as timothy,
millet and clover hay, and only the
best wild hay given in small quantities,
preferably finely cut, mixed with mill
feed or steamed food. Feed every
thing wet. Food and water should
be consumed at least an hour before
an animal is used for work. 1t is but
natural that such horse will be-
come weak and faint when driven or
worked hard all day, for such one
is only capable of performing slow
and light work, and it is cruel to use
him otherwise.-Rural World.

CORN FOR CHICKENS.
Poultry Thrives Most ExceIIently
Upon 1t Until 1t Has Made Its
Full Growth. 49,

Without doubt, the very best feed
for flock of growing chickens is
corn, just whole corn fed to them in
unlimited quantities. If the chickens
have the range of the farm they will
not eat more corn than they need, and
the more they can be induced to eat
the faster they will grow. They get
enough grass, bugs, weed and grass
seeds when running about to balance
the corn ration, and it is one of the
best feeds that can be given them.
The laying hens should not have SO
much corn, so this advice should not
be taken without the hens can be kept
from eating with the growing chick
ems, for laying hen fed all the corn
she can eat will soon get too lazy to
forage much, and in the end will get
so fat that she will be inclined to take
rest from laying and become an un'
profitable servant.
All the young poultry thrives on
corn until it has made its full growth.
There is nothing better for young
poultry than sweet corn from the time
il gets to be good roasting ears until
the winter sets in. While this is being
fed the fowls will make weight in quite
surprising way, and they are very
fond of it. There is NO need to prepare
it in any way. They will take care OF
it if the ears are husked and thrown
TO them. If with the sweet corn a sup.
ply of sunfowers is available the fowls
will not only grow but their plumage
will become glossy and their combs
red, and they will be pictures of health,
The man who raises poultry and fails
to have supply of sweet corn and
sunfower seeds for them is missing an
opportunity to provide the best feed
that can be grown on the farm

THE ALLIGATOR BILL
Kurnel Bunker Describes His Eff
forts as a Legislator.
By M. QUAD.
Copyright 1893.

"As TO what l have accomplished in
my time as legislator" said Kurnel
Bunker, as he lowered his empty glass
and toyed with it, II may mention the
Alligator Bill as a fair sample. may
tell yo' as preface that the bill or
iginated with me, sah-with Kurnel
Bunker, sah-and ithas frequently been
referred to as one of the wisest and
most bene6cent measures ever adopted
by a commonwealth. AS yo' may
have heard, sab, the bill was to protect
and encourage the increase of alliga-
tors in the state Of Arkansaw, and
right nobly did it serve the purpose.
Let me ask, sab, if yo' obsarye the
mixer and dispenser of cocktails any
where in our immediate vicinity"
The colored man was not far away,
and when he had served us again Kur-
mel Bunker leaned back with sigh Of
relief and continued:
"The alligator, sab, had become one
of the industries of this glorious state.
Hundreds of men were hunting him
for his hide and hundreds Of hides were
exchanged for cash. In their thirst
for wealth, however, the people were
killing the golden goose. So great was
the slaughter that it was mere ques-
ton of time when the alligator would
become extinct. / was the first man

FIax with other Grain.

Under some conditions it may be
advisable to grow fax with other
grain. Flax is very exhaustive crop,
but in this fact lies the advantage
when grain is sown on very rich land
in mixing some flaXseed with it. If
the fax is not grown the grain will
grow too rank a straw, while with the
flax to help exhaust the superfuous
fertility there is less danger of this.
There will be more of the grain
grown, while all of the faxseed that
is harvested will be so much clear
gain. Barley is one of the best grains
to grow with flax, and both are ready
to cut at the same time. But both
should be very lightly seeded if clio
yer seed is sown the same spring, else
there will be poor catch of clover

end make hole through which you
can put a strip of leather, whereby to
attach a piece of rope to the stick
The rope should be about four inches
shorter than the Irvine. A quarter
inch rope is the best size. At the out
er end of the rope fasten a ring just
big enough to slip over the stick cas-
lily. In use proceed as follows; Take
the handle and ring in one hand, reach
around the shock, pass the ring into
the other hand, and then slip the butt
end of the handle into the ring, Now,
shove the ring along the handle down
to the leather, turn the handle out
away from the side of the shock, and
it will stay there while you deliber-
ately put the Irvine around and tie,
Throw the handle back, release the
ring, and go to the next shock" Mr..
Amstutz believes that he is the orig
inator of this device, but he is willing
that others should use 1t without
charge.

LAMBS FOR MUTTON.
Some thing About the breeds md HOW
to obtain the Most sRtisfac-
tory Results.

Probably the latest sent to mar
ket are those obtained from cross OF
Merino and Southdown. They are
about as plump and heavy for their
size as any bred although they are
not the largest, writes Il. Z. Smith In
the American Cutlvator. They are
generally desired by good butchers,
and very often they will command
fancy prices. Their Southdown line
age will be apparent in their black
faces and legs, and most butchers be-
lieve yet, and with good reason, that
the "Southdown is the finest mutton
sheep in the world"
But the Merino contributes many
noteworthy qualities. The lambs get
their fairness and tenderness from the
Merno, and this greatly helps the
lambs in the markets, Altogether the
cross produces about us satisfactory
results for the general breeder Of
lambs for mutton as any.
The lambs when two weeks old
should be taught to eat little dry
food, and this can best be given to
them with the hand. Sometimes
tempting dish can be made for the
lambs--a mixture of clean oats, corn
and linseed in equal parts, ground up
finely and then sailed and sweetened
with little sugar. The taste of the
latter tempts the lambs, The ewes
should also be fed freely and with good
nourishing food to keep up the flow of
milk, for it is advisable for the lambs
to have plenty of the mothers milk,
In short time the lambs will take
their dry feed from box or pan, and
then feeding them will be greatly sim
pliied. Ordinarily it is not necessary
to get them to take dry food, but where
it is desirable to force their growth,
and make them lay on fat rapidly, this
method will be found very satisfac-
tory The lambs that grow vigorous
ly from the first are the ones that pay
in the end, and it would not prove a
bad plan to adopt this method, even
though one has no idea of forcing the
lambs for an early market,

HOW to Pickle Pork.

Some one recently called for re-
cipe for picking pork. Here is one
that we find good; Salt enough to
take out the blood and let it stand
two or three days. For every 100
pounds of meat take ten pounds of
salt, four pounds of Orleans sugar,
three-quarters ounce of saltpeter, two
ounces of soda and eight gallons of
water. Boil, strain and let cool. Then
pour over the meat. Let it stay in
pickle at least six weeks. Keep the
meat well under pickle, but be careful
not to weight it too heavy. If the pickle
should not be enough to cover you
will have to make enough as proper
toned above. This will depend some
what upon the shape of your vessel.
