Oat Hay For Stock.

Oats as green feed are relished
by all stock and particularly by sheep
and lambs. If the crop is cut before
the grain hardens, and is properly
cured, oats are a desirable substitute
for clover or timothy fed dry during
the fall and winter. One of the best
OF dry folders for both horses and
cows is mixture of clover, timothy
and oat hay, the latter cut and cured
as directed. If desired these may be
fed separately to give variety to the ra-
ton, the oats being fed in the fall and
near spring. 1t is not advisable to
cut oats for soiling when crimson
clover can be had, but when the clover
crop is poor, oats make good sub
stitute. There is certainly no reason
why only the grain should be fed and
the hay and straw used for bedding
when it has the food value indicated

the leg being bent forward to any ex-
tent, consequently the animal, not
being able to walk on stiff hind legs,
drags his hind parts, and when he
does manage to get upon his feet, it
will be noticed that the hind legs will
not bend forward and that the hind
quarters are shrunken and more
fabby than the remainder of the body;
this, of course, is due to the lack of
ability to use them. 1t is seldom
that one is known to get entirely over
this disease. Although they can be
fattened and seem healthy in all other
respects, they are not suitable for sale

Partial paralysis is the true name of
this trouble in hogs. The nerves of
the muscles of the back and hip are
the parts affected. 1t usually begins
with slight stiffness, and it varies
very much in its progress. Some
times it is very rapid and at others
slow. When it is slow the muscles
will waste and become inactive. In
the rapid form it usually kills the
animal in a week or two.
In the early stages of the disease
give two ounces sweet oil with two
drops of Croton oil in it. After this
operates, give ten drops of tincture of
nux vomica in tablespoonful of cod
liver oil twice a day and continue it
for week or ten days. This is for a

Canada with Cuba; compare Poland

An Irishman who was ont OF work
went on board vessel that was in the
harbor and asked the captain if he
could find him work on the ship.
"Well," said the captain, at the
same time handing the Irishman a
piece of rope, ''if you can find three
ends to that rope you shall have some
work" The Irishman got hold of
one end of the rope, and, showing it
to the captain said "That's one end,
your honor" Then he took hold of
the other end, and, showing it to the
captain as before, said: "And that's

The Best Way TO Keep Up Fertility.

A timely word is well said in the
following paragraph, which finally
sums up lot of field tests in the
maintenar ce of fertility conducted at
the Ohio Station bulletin S0):
A ton of clover hay carries fertiliz-
ing constituents to the value of more
than eight dollars, as compared with
the prices at which mixed fertilizers
are sold in Ohio, and assuming that
these constituents are equally availa-
BILE with those in mixed fertilizers. It
is probable that they are not quite so
quickly available, but the apparent
fact that commercial fertilizers can be
used with profit in the production of
cereals on Ohio soil only when these
cereals are grown in rotation with
clover, and the high value as fertil-
izers which bran and oil meal are
shown to have, all combined, most
forcibly indicates that through the
feeding OF live stock, the careful saw
ing OF the resultant manure, and its
intelligent employment in scientific
rotation of crops, lies to-day, as of
old, the road to the economical main
tenance of fertility.
We have noticed that the further
away the average farmer gets from
clover and corn and hogs. the worse
off he is. American agriculture has
neglected clover of late years. We
need "clover revival" The won

A welcome announcement to many,
at this season, in Chambers's Journal,
is the invention of a new life belt of a
description which meets the de-
fciencies hitherto characterizing de-
vices of this sort. The difficulty with
most contrivances for this purpose is,
primarily-especlally in the case of
cork waistcoats-that they are so
bulky as to impede action to a very
considerable degree, if not altogether,
but this is avoided in the new belt,
known as the Louiton float, which, as
explained and illustrated in the
French journals, has the appearance
of a eonger eel with conical ends.
Made Of sheet rubber, it passes round
the neck, across the chest and round
the waist, and can be inflated in one
minute by the mouth; its weight is
about one pound, and it is alike fexi.

Before the days of dentists, and
when people generally believed in the
value of charms, there were ever so
many mysterious ways of ,eventing
toothache.
One of these was to dress the right
side of the body frst-right stocking,
right shoe, right sleeve, right glove.
A favorite plan in Scotland was to
draw tooth, salt it well, and burn it
in full view on glowing Goals. In
Cornwall many save their teeth by
biting the first young ferns that ap-
pear.
The custom of catching common
ground mole, cutting off the paws
while the little creature still lives,
and wearing them, is traced to Stat
fordshire, England. Some people
who are fond of exercise believe that
walking twelve miles-no more, no
less-to get splinter of the tooth
ache tree that grows particularly well
in Canada and Virginia, will drive
away the worst ache and pain that
ever tortured tooth.
The belief that toothache is caused
by worm at the roots is prevalent in
many parts of the world; hence, this
cure: Reduce several different kinds
of herbs-the greater the variety the
better-to q powder. Put glowing
coal into this powder and inhale the
incense. Afterward breathe into o
cup of water, and the worm will be
gone forever. New York World.

China has no patent office or laws,
and therefore the Chinese can use with
impunity any invention patented in
any other country. According to GUS
tom, however, Americans holding
American patents cannot be infringed
upon in China without getting them
selves into trouble. The consuls take
all such matters under advisement and
protect the patentees as though they
were in their own country. There
fore all questions rs to copyrights,
patent rights and inventions OF all
descriptions are subject to the decision
and arbitration of the consuls, accord

ton against the shrewdness and greed
