Early shearing gives more and bet
ter wool.
Corn fodder is excellent feed for
horses, especially as change of diet.
Each pigpen should be divided into
two parts, one for sleeping and the
other for feeding.
Liberal amounts of protein tend to
increase the flow Of milk and lessen the
natural shrinkage due to lactation.
Salt, sulphur, charcoal, ashes and
bone dust should occasionally be
placed where the pigs can get at it.
Mutton growing, with wool as an in
cidental product, will continue to be
the most profitable method of sheep
breeding.
Farm yard manure or feeding highly
concentrated foods on q pasture sup
ply the most appropriate fertllizing ele-
ments for permanent pasture.
A growing pig must have food that
will promote growth. MIX shorts,

Wood and all materials that decay
easily should be avoided in irrigation
works as much as possible. OF course
these must be used in many cases and
in that event should be carefully
watched.
The advantage of feeding silage over
corn fodder is that there is practically
no waste. To the one passing dairy
farm and noticing the cornstalks In
the COW yard this fact is impressed
upon them at once.
Richness in nitrogen may be meas
ured in large degree by the humus
contained in the soil. OF course the
stage of decomposition Of this organic
matter is an important factor in de-
termining the availability of nitrogen.
Turnips and swedes draw their food
supply from the surface soil. Their
power of taking up nitrogen from the
soil is greater than cereal crops. AS a
consequence clover and cowpeas should
occur frequently in the rotation where
turpips and swedes are grown.

Appearance was Deceptive.

He was sanctimonious-lookin man,

when he quietly took his seat at the

1t seemed strange to the other Gus

Salisbury Dressed Himself

Here Is an amusing and character
istic story Of Lord Salisbury. 1t Is
known that the premier is much too
serious in his mind and occupations to
have much regard for the merely cere-
monial side of life. For some years
this failing produced no evil results,
for Lord Salisbury had q faithful valet,
who looked after him; but one unhap-
py day the valet left, and Lord Sails
bury was reduced to his own resources.
1t was levee day, and the minister was
in the midst of serious business up to
the last moment He rushed home,
turned out large bundle of uniforms,
Of which, of course, he has quantity,
and took the first that came to his
hand, with the astonishing result that
he wore coat that belonged to the
elder brethren of Trinity house, dep
uty lieutenants pair of trousers, and
hat of the Royal archers. Even that
WAS not the worst. He wore his gar
ter on the wrong side, and things
reached their climax in the waistcoat
which, dating from an earlier and less
robust period in his life, left between
it and the trousers what was once
called, in the case OF another parlia-
mentarian. "a lucid interval.

Rolling is an advantage in prevent
ing the loss of moisture from soils
not compact enough to hold much
water. The compacting of such soils
by repeated rolling decreases the
amount of water that passes through
them and beyond the reach of roots.
When the object of rolling is to save
soil moisture, tooth harrow should
be used if possible after rolling, so as
to form a layer of loose soil on the
surface; otherwise rolling will de-
crease the soil moisture. The roller
should be used with caution on clay
ey lands. The purpose of using the
roller after seeding during dry wealth
er is to compact the soil, thus increas-
ing the capillary action, which carries
the necessary amount of moisture to
the seeds to cause termination. The
ROLLER is sometimes used after the
plants are up, which of course favors
the rise of water to the young roots.
The addition of humus to soils de-
ficlent in organic material will great
ly increase their capacity for holding
water. This may be supplied by u.s.
ing vegetable mold, cover crops, rota-
tons, green manures, and stable
manures. Soil moisture may be
saved by other means but those men,
toned above are the most important.

Ran Away backward.

A singular accident occurred in the
Frisco yards, near Joplin, Mo-, recently.
Engine No. 126, running extra, left
town upon the Girard passenger trains
time. The trains met on q curve on
the edge of town. Both engineers ap-
piled the air brakes and reversed their
engines, also giving a full head of
steam to mitigate the collision. The en-
gineer, fireman and trainmen Of the ex-
ira engine jumped for their lives. The
engines collided, but with only enough
force to crush the cow-catchers. Hav-
ing a full head Of steam and being re-
versed, the extra engine, with no one
aboard, rebounded, and at terrific
speed began backing out Of town. II
passed through East Joplin going at a
rate estimated at mile minute. The
dispatcher was promptly notified, and
I'll traips in its direction were held to
prevent another collision. Searchers
found the engine two miles from town
on hill, with the steam and water ex-
hausted, but with no apparent damage
from it's wild run

Grain for Cows on Pasture.

The majority of dairymen do not be-
lieve in feeding grain to their cows
while on pasture, as they claim it does
not pay. On the home farm we have
fed grain to our cows the year round
for several years, and a number of
our most progressive neighbors have
done likewise. Many people doubted
the wisdom of such practice at first,
but some Of them are now following
our example. A year ago / met one
of our most successful dairymen on
his way home from the station with a
large load of corn meal and bran for
his cows. l asked him If he was salts
fed that it paid him to feed so much
grain during the summer months. He
said, II do not think that l could af
ford to stop feeding grain to my cows
while they are on pasture" / might
say that this man has not only bought
and paid for bran ind corn meal for
his cows, but with the net returns from
bis cows he has purchased and paid

The American Game Keeper, which
from the name should be authority on
the fowl subject, gives the following
simple directions for protecting set
ting hens against lice and mites, which
is their besetting annoyance: A cheap
and easy method of destroying these
pests and keeping them from the set
ting hens, it says, is to place one or
two of the camphorated balls (such as
those displayed in the windows of drug
stores) in each nest. They cost very
little and by putting them in the nest
the work Is done, a single ball lasting
through the entire warm season.
Every time the hen goes on the nest
she imparts heat to it, and portion
of the camphor odoriZes her body and
also the material of the nest; lice CIV
ing 1t wide berth. One of the balls
If placed in vial of sweet Oil and ap-
piled to the heads of the fowls and
chicks, on the shanks or under the
wings, will also prove serviceabIe in
preventing scaly-legs and destroying
the large lice.
For chicks only use one or two drops
of the mixture, as grease Of any kind
is Injurious to chicks.
If preferred mixture may be pre-
pared by using one part lard oil, one
part linseed oil, few grains of cam
phor and two or three drops of oil of
sassafras. shaking the mixture well be-
fore using.
Whitewash the top and sides of the
hen house and use plenty of carbolic
acid in the wash; put it on thick over
the roosts, nests, and every board, to
Kill the insect eggs, lice, mites, and
germs of contagious diseases, If there
are any, and to purify and keep things
healthy.
Chicks will commence to scratch
when they are but day old, no diff
ference whether they see the old hen
scratch or not. If they are Matched in
an incubator and reared in brooder
they will scratch just the same. This
proves that scratching comes by in
tuition and is natures plan whereby
fowls may get their living. 1t is
sensible thing to believe that fowls
should be made to scratch for nearly
all they eat. Scratching will tend to
make them vigorous and prolific,

Profit in Buttermaking.

To sell milk off the farm is to sell
all the fertilizing elements there are
in the milk, but these are not as great
as those that were in the grain and
fodder that the cows ate. OF the
grain no small part of those elements
are left in the manure heap; not quite
as much of clover hay, yet more than
of the grasses. If one Is selling his
milk he should determine that a part
of the money he receives for It, shall
be returned, either in grain bought and
fed out, or in fertiliaing material put
upon the fields. Only in this way
can the soil be kept up to its condi-
ton.
But one who keeps cows and makes
butter at home, using his skimmilk
for growing calves and hogs, and buys
grain to feed out. will ever find his
land improving, his crops growing
larger if properly cared for, and he
should grow richer by reason thereof
If prices maintain their proper rela-
ton to one another. The man who
sells milk may improve his farm and
still make money IL the milk prices
are high enough, but we cannot help
feeling that it is doubtful for those
who have to sell at the prices estab-
lished by the milk contractors who
buy for our cities. When we sold
milk at the prices we now pay for it,
or from five to seven cents quart,
we thought it none too much, but We
pade living at it. To have sold at
prices paid by contractors for the sup
ply of Boston would have soon meant
bankruptcy for US, and we should have
preferred to have brought out the tin
pans, the churn and other apparatus
in use in those days. and made but
ter again. Today. with more modern
appliances. we think butter making
should be much easier and more profit
able.-Boston Cultivator.
