Both cattle and hogs should have at
all times full access to salt.
Give the hens all of the buttermilk

Less hay and corn stalks and more
grain would be good rule for many

Sometimes calves have fits, the result

Always have the nests so low that
the hens can step in rather than be
obliged to jump down.
If horses have pin worms, try an in

A flat perch is best because of being

When the bulls hair is rough and

The success of the creamery depends

The man or woman who raises eggs
for market should be intelligent
enough to find out from experience and
experiment the best reproducing
foods. Yet often this seems to come
slowly, and we find some sticking to
food that has long been discarded as
roor gg-making material Probably
Cne of the most general mistakes made
in this respect is to depend too much
on corn. 1t is difficult to convince
some that corn is not a good diet for
egg-layers. 1t is partly because corn 's
the easiest and handiest chicken food
that amateurs can secure, for they can
purchase this at any feed store. But
this should not be the case with one
who raises cnlckens fora living. Surely
corn with them must be understood
and be given its proper place in the
diet. 1t has its place in the food for
the poultry. 1t is fattening and heat
ing and a little of it in winter is essen
tial to the healrh of the chickens, but
it should take second place to clover.
Experience has demonstrated the
value of clover for producing time
and again. Clover has just the material
III it to form egg shell, and hence it be-
comes an essential part of every ration
fed TO the chickens. 1t may not be
generally understood that there are
nearly 80 pounds of lime contained in
each 1000 pounds Of clover. The
chickens fed daily with clover will con-
sequently prove better egg layers than
those denied it. The clover hay should
be given to chickens in winter in guam.
titles sufficient ia satisfy them, and TO
make them eat more it is desirable
sometimes to prepare it in various
ways. Cook and chop it up, and mix
it with meal or other articles. This
will sometimes induce the hens to con-
sumo a great amount of clover every
day. Cut up into short lengths and
mixed with warm mash and then fed
only as fast as the chickens will clean
it up each day, is probably the most
economical way to feed the clover.
Some cut the second crop Of clover and
place it in the poultry yard for the
chickens to eat and scratch over at
pleasure. This of itself is all right,
but it is rather wasteful. More than
half the clover will be lost, and the
chickens do not actually eat much more
than the leaves. The stalks contain
most OF the lime, and these should be
prepared so the chickens will consume
them. OF all foods tnat can be raised
OF farm for poultry, clover is not
only the best, but probably the cheap
est, and field of it is as essential to
success as a pasture field is necessary
to the success of dairying.-Annie G.
Webster, in American Cultivator.

when the ground can be titled and the !

when the ground can be titled and the
seed covered instead Of on the surface
as we SOW clover. The cowpea and soy
lean possess every requisite for cover
except one-they cannot endure frost.
Their large seed permits deep cover
ing; they love heat and are fairly
drouth-resisting; sown any time
through June or July they will cover
the ground with dense growth before
:rost, and being legumes they have the
nitrogen accommodating power Of that
order of plants. We have adopted the
practice of sowing soy beans when the
clover catch fails, and find them very
good substitute for clover, but the first
frost kills the plant and thus ends its
work. We find, however, that the
ground breaks up in much better con-
dition in the spring after having grown
q crop of soy beans. In discussing cover
crops, rye is not to be forgotten. 1t is
not a legume and therefore adds no
nitrogen to the soil, but no other plant
Of those mentioned unless 1T be the
vetch, will more effectually save the
nitrates which are probably formed
whenever the temperature is above the
freezing point-C. e. Thorne, director

sown at any time. OF the frost-resist-
ing leguminous plants which may be
sown late in summer to gather the

seems to offer the most promise, chiefly
because its comparatively large seed

When to Hatch rul!ets.

Pullets for next year should be
hatched early, as they will then mature
and begin to lay before next winter,
but if not hatched until May OF June
some of them will not lay before the
following spring. The eggs should be

ary, which will bring the chicks out in

which can be done with an incubator.
AS soon as the young coclerels are OF
sufficient size for market they should
be sold, as they will bring higher prices
when young and afford more room for
the growing pullets. This is the time
to look year ahead for winter eggs.

Drew Money on His Laundry Mark.

The initials of his name inscribed on

a letter from his house directing him

Sir Boyle Roche's "Bulis." :"

possibly the gem of his rhetoric was

BOYS Rooms.

Considerable is said about girls
rooms, but little is said of boys rooms.
The inference is left that any room
will satisfy him. 1t is true that a
manly boy usually dislikes room
fixed in milliners fashion. with rib
bons and hangings of cretonne or silk,
but lie usually has a decided taste of
his own if he is an intelligent boy, and
even more pronounced likes and dis
likes than his sister. He generally
prefers a simple, rather hard bed, with
rlenty of pillows. A bedstead of brass,
or iron trimmed with brass, is suit
able one Put into his room ''chest
of drawers" with a glass at the top.
Let the washstand be an affair OF
metal, an English shape of ample di.
mensions, with large basin and foot
tub for splashing. There should be a
lounge or an easy lounging chair and
cushion. Let there be a set of cuff and
collar boxes, low Dlacking chair, with
4 space under the seat where the black
ing is stored away ani there is a foot
hold where he can attend to his own
bootblacking. The closets should be
furnished with holds" for coats and
trousers, so they will not get out of
shape while hanging. There should
also be low shelf to hold shoes when
not in use, and higher one for hats
and boxes. 1t is as necessary that a
boy grow up with systematic, orderly
habits as that his sister should. A boy
can grow up in an orderly way, which
will be useful to him in his after
career, or he may be so careless and
erratic in his ways of living that his
method will be veritable stumbling
block in ife's history.-New York
Tribune.

He Wasn't Worrying.

The Uses of Ice.

In health no one ought to drink very
freely OF ice water, for it has occasion
ed fatal inflamations of fthe stomach and
bowels, and sometimes sudden death.
The temptation to drink it is very
great in summer. To use it at all with
any safety person should take but
swallow at time, taking the glass
from the lips for half a minute, and
then another swallow, and SO ON. 1t
will be found that in this way it be-
comes disagreeable after few mouth
fuls. On the other hand, ice itself may
be taken as freely as possible, not only
without injury, but with the most
striking advantage in dangerous forms
OF disease.
A kind of cushion of powdered ice
&c pt to the entire scalp has allayed vio-
lent inflammation of the brain, and ar
rested fearful convulsions induced by
too much blood there.
All inflammations, internal or eXter-
ral, are promptly subdued by the ap-
pEcation of ice or ice water because it
is converted into steam, and rapidly
conveys away the extra heat, and also
tininishes the quantity of blood in the
vessels of the part.
Insomnia may be relieved by wet
ting a towel in ice water and laying it
on the back of the neck, covering it
over with dry towel smoothly folded.
1t is also particularly useful in case of
dull headache.
A piece of ice laid on the wrist will
often arrest violent bleeding of the
pose.-The Ladies' World.
