lno khaki Uniform.

The khaki uniform worn by our sol-
diers last summer, and which some of the
returned troops from the Soudan have
made familiar to the Londoner, is, in point
Of color. as nearly that of the desert round
about Wady Halfa as the Polar bear is
that Of his iceberg, or the green lizard
that Of the grass. This monotony is re-
sponsible for strange effects, one of which
was noted by Lady Butler during a stay
IN Egypt, and was thus described by her
~ letter home, quoted in the Academy:
1T was late in the afternoon when saw
9 burial party, clad in the coat of khaki
drab, carrying a dead comrade covered
with the Union Jack, towards the little
cemetery in the desert; and, as they
moved over the plain obliquely away from
me, with their backs to the low sun, moth
ing could be seen of them but the black
shadow of each soldier as it was projected
upon the back of his front rank man.
One thus saw literally a little troop of
shadows moving towards the grave, with
the stiH, automatic motion peculiar to
the military funeral step; and, in the
midst of these phantems, shone out, in
vivid .colors, the flag that shrouded the
dead"

Using Raw Bones on the Farm.

The quickest and simplest method of
utilizing old bones il to burn them in the
kitchen stove and carefully save the
ashes. In this way yoi, get iii the ash all
the phosphoric aeil and lime there il in
the bone, but you lose the nitrogen, which
goes off AZ gas Iii the smoke. Where the
quantity Of bO1ies Ii small. however, and
especially If the facilities required for
other methods of using them are not at
hand, and if the bones cannot he sold at
a fair price, this burning of them is far
better than to permit them to go to waste.
Bone ma kes an intense heat and as far as
it goes - d valuable fuel. OF course
every thrifty farmer saves all the wood
ash from the house, for it is 80 rich in
phosphoric acid and potash that not u
pound Of it should, be wasted. but every
bit of wood ash (whetller containing bone
ash or not). should be religiously pre-
served. Every intelligent aud thrifty
farmer knows tile value of dressing of
rich wood ash and fine bone meal. Ex-
cept for the loss Of nitrogen by burning,
this homemade combination of wood ash
and bone ash will accomplish nearly as
good results as the famous unleachel

Mule Meat and Mangoes.

but once in while Il few fishes were
caught in the streams. These, however,
were not very good eating. Mangoes are
quite nutritious, but we all became very
thin. There were no bananas to be had.

tastes like pork. except that it is sweet

The worst effect of these rains is to make
the soil 80 soft that the hoofs of stock
poach 1t, thus destroying more grass than
the stock consumes. 1t is great injury
to future crops Of grass to allow the land
to be trampled over late fall or winter.
1t Is besides much better for all stock to
be kept in the stable or barnyard, where
1t can be properly fed and cared for.

Easy Way Of Feeding Pigs.

Almost anyone dislkes to carry slop to
the hogs in buckets, as you are sure soon
err or later to get it spattered all over
you, says a writer in the Practical Farm
er. Here is something handy, and it
saves time, and you are not likely to get
your clothes soiled every time yon feed
the pigs. Take wheelbarrcw and a
tight coal oil or whisky barrel and hang
or fasten the barrel inside Of the wheel
barrow frame BY at least three bolts.
These bolts cah be put in 80 tight that the
barrel will hot leak. Bore n two-inch
hole in the side Of the barrel at the bot
tom, into which put tight fitting plug.
The barrow can be left anywhere handy
and when feeding time comes one trip
does the business. Put an old sack or
piece of carpet over the barrel and sin
on wire hoop to keep the contents from
stopping out. To empty the barrel handi-
~, make a small platform about eighteen
inches higher TIL nm. the trough; place one
end of a stout plank OH the platform and
let the other end rest on the ground; run
the wheelbarrow up this plank onto the
platform; withdraw the plug from the
barrel and let the slop flow directly into,
or through spout, into the feed trough.
This is certainly short cut to the pig

Sheep Eating Wool.

This trouble is of the slime nature as
the depravea appetite of cows which leads
them to cut oil manner of articles other
than ordinary feed, says the National
Wool Growers journal. In sheep it
causes loss of WOOL occasions mortality
among lambs, and is at all times source
of great hilh0yance to the shepherd. Some
are of the opiIibh that the disease is the
product of Imitation, arguing. that when
one lamb starts the wo0l-eating habit, 9th
ers follow slit. Until several will be seen
eating wool ffbnl the. same sheep, until it
may be entirely ,dtnuded. Others consider
it as the result of nialnutrition, either
from an insutficiency Of feed, or lack of
some required chemical ingredient. In
sheep it is seen MOST often in winter, when
feed is scarce or lacks variety; in lambs
berger and Frohner, when the milk-giving
ewes are fed too sparingly and where
there is deficiency Of milk, or if it's
chemical composition is poor. 1t is said
that, III such cases the: trouble has been
cured by furnishing the lamb with cows
milk: while in spring it disappears under
the influence of a change of diet, or green
grass. We incline to the opinion that
both imitation and lack of needed nutri-
ents produce the wool-eating habit. 1t is
not so much imitation, we think, as
habit acquired by the young lamb from
accidentally getting wool locks into it's
mouth when sucking an udder that has
not been denuded of its wool tags by the
attentive shepherd. We think. too, that
lambs stick the wool. at first just as young
calves do each others ears, and that they
gradually learn to eat the wool in this
way, and, later OH, MAY develop wool
balls in their stomachs and succumb to
their presence. When lambs become con-
firmed wool-eaters digestive troubles ap-
pear; they lose flesh, their growth is re-
tarded; they beconie constipated and may
die of Inflammation. Treatment indicat-
ed is largely preventive. Strip the udder
of I'll wool before allowing the lamb to
stick Change the feed of all sheep or
lambs showing the habit, and separate
the wool-eaters from the rest of the flock
See that all are we'll nourished, and that
the rations are properly balanced. Sup
ply the flock with salt or a mixture of salt,
bicarbonate of soda, powdered wood, char
coal and ginger root.

Milking,

Milking should be done with clean. dry
hands, and as the COW is making the
most of the milk while it is being drawn
from the udder, it is very important that
she should be kept as quiet and content
ed as possible. The milking should be
done as rapidly as can be without hurting
the COW. The first part of the milk con-
tains less than l per cent. of fat, while
the last portion has as high as 10 per cent.
of fat. hence the importance of thorough
work in milking. Change Of mixers is
detrimental, as we'll as are all other alb
rupt changes in feeding or handling the
good dairy cow.
The materials to form the milk are
found in the udder untransformed to milk
before milking. But by sort of harmony
existing between the mixer and the COW,
and by the stimulus excited upon the
glands by the mixer, the milk is largely
caused to form.--Prairie Farmer.
