Farm Notes.

Give the young pigs low trough and
chance to feed separate from the sow. Add
to ground oats or barley or wheat mid
dlingS some warm skim milk or water.
The product of the stolen nest will be
lively as criekets. The brood is usually
small, and the mother will take care of
them. Throw them food when they are
present at feeding time, but let them rus
tie
In Denmark they have farmers co-opera-
tive dairy associations of twelve farmers
each, who for five years weigh the feed of
each of their cows and also the milk, and
thus make record of the returns from
each cow.
Milking should be done rapidly. and it is
therefore not well to have too many hands
employed in the work: With one milker to
efficiency of work than when half as many
cows make up the tale The slow hand
gets less milk and dries the cow.
Coal ashes constitute a splendid grit for
hens. Have you never seen a hen gobble
down half a dozen chunks of cinder as
large as the end of your little finger, as
though they were choice bits of meat?
Fowls will do this If they are in want of
grit to operate their digestive apparatuses.
The milk-selling business of England has
| quick and constant returns for the farmer,
and has greatly reduced the beef cattle
production of England, as it pays the
farmers better to sell milk than to raise
calves and beef cattle, or even to make
butter and cheese, with the skim milk for
the calves. Thus increased supplies of beef
must be imported from other countries.
The wide tires seem to be gradually dis
placing the narrow, especially for farm
work. They should take the place of the
narrow tire on the highways, as the roads
can be kept in condition with much less
expense where heavy loads are drawn
upon broad tires than when narrow tires
are used. 1t is not only for the sake of
the highway, but there is saving in draft
upon almost all kinds of roads.
Horses fed literally. if not we'll exercised.
will often get off their feed. The skill of
the feeder must remedy this. Every one
having the care of stock of any kind
should bear in mind that all troubles of ap-
petite and of the digestive organs are gen.
orally chargeable to the feeder rather than
the animal. Regularity, a keen judgment
and strict attention are the medicine the
feeder of stock needs to administer.
If a currycomb must be used. have the
smoothest one that can be found, and use
ii but sparingly. In the hands of some men
the currycomb is a barbarous instrument
of torture. Applied with long. sweeping
motion, without regard TO the shape of the
body or the evennesS with which it is held
will make a poor animal shrink and

| and humanely than the severe application

| learn not to dislike it if he finds he is not
hurt.

The Early Lambs.

The early lamb is the one that makes
the most rapid progress in growth. and not
the that is of a certain age. Lambs of
the Shropshire or Oxford breeds will weigh
about twelve pounds at birth. and when
three months old can be made to weigh
seventy-fve pounds with but little difficult

twin lambs the male reached fo1 pounds
when 100 days old, and the female eighty
seven pounds. which shows what Is at least
possible, though not often attained. A breed
intended for producing meat, whether In the
shape of beef, pork mutton or lamb, should
be selected for that purpose exclusively.
Breeds are now separated and classified
according TO their merits and special char
acteristics for the accomplishment of GER
tain objects and success with any breed is
secured only when that breed is made TO do
duty I'm it's particular line. When the early
lamb is made an object of profit the breed
should be one that excels in the size and
rapidity of its growth from birth. All other
considerations, such as wool production,

Promising Apples.

Country Gentleman.
1t would be possible to make a consider
able list of apples which are new and just
coming into favor. or which. though not ex-
actly of recent origin, are just coming into
general notice. Such a list would include
varieties which for one reason or another
are growing into popularity. Some of these
apples are mentioned below. The list is
by no means complete one. but is made
up of such sorts as have recently come un-
der our notice.
York Imperial is finding great favor as a
market apple in the region along the APP
palachian range. especially in the mountain
districts OF West Virginia and Pennsylva-
mia. Ii is an early bearer, good shipper
and a good storage apple. Its eccentric
form is somewhat against it, yet there
seems to be little complaint from the apple
dom planted in New York State. New Eng
land or the provinces OF Canada. Even in
the prairie States IL has not become ex-
tremely popular. but has been planted in
commercial orchards to some extent.
Sutton Cor sutton Beauty is enjoying a
boom in its native State of Massachusetts,.
IL has an excellent tree, very upright grow
ing at first, but spreading rapidly after il
comes 10 bearing. The fruit is medium
size, or. in case of overbearing, somewhat
on the small size. The color is unsurpassed;
quality somewhat like Baldwin. but a. trifie
better IL anything; keeping quality not SO
good as Baldwin. This variety succeeds
splendidly in Massachusetts,. Connecticut
and eastern New York, but does not do Sc

meuse type. but much superior to Famuese

totype. with a magnificent bloom and an

hence to get the lambs in market early
they must be fed and bred for that purpose,
as a few weeks delay may lessen the prof
classes of stock To secure the best results
one must breed for them, for the breed Is
the foundation upon which the enterprise is
built. There is no rule for feeding all stock
alike. The breed that is to produce after its
kind must be fed with view TO enable il
to perform its part. To feed for fat when
growth is desired, or to feed for growth
when production is sought, demands skill
and a due regard to the quality and guam
tity of foods. but ii is the duty of the far
mer to understand all such matters and to
acteristics of the breeds and the quality
of the foods necessary to aid him in ac-
complishing his objects.

Wages for Farm Hands.

Orange Judd Farmer.
A crisis exists in the rural labor market
Demand far exceeds supply. In many
farming sections in the West agricultural
operations are seriously curtailed because
no men or boys can be hired. In rural
households the situation is still worse
servants being almost unobtainable from
the vicinity.
Farmers and their families now look to
the villages, towns and cities for help. They
offer good wages, good homes. good food,
for men or boys, girls or women who are
willing to work on their farms or in their
homes. The situation has become SO des-
perate that the farmers have made an ar
rangement whereby any person who wishes
situation in the country may advertise
for it in Orange Judd Farmer of Chicago.
ILL.,, and the advertisement won't cost them
cent, if inserted during May or June. The
farmers promise that all who offer to work
will find several situations open to them,
from which they may take their choice.
While those experienced in farm and
household work will. of course. get the
highest wages, farmers and their wives
are eager for almost any kind Of help.
Women and girls who are run down from
life and work in city, school or factory can
have good homes in the country for the
summer in which they will have a COM
paratively easy time. fair wages and a
useful experience. Boys and young men

ing for some of the many farmers who are
eager to engage them
1t is the usual practice for the. farmers
help to be treated as one of the family, to
move in the same society, and in every
way to be well treated. Many happy mar
riages are thus brought about. and many
a thrifty family has thus been founded.
1t is a singular fact that town and city
people who have gone out on to the farms
during the past few years have been so
we'll pleased that a large proportion of them
have located permanently in the country.
There are also a great number of farmers
families who would like one or more boys
or girls from the city to bring up. These
country homes in most cases afford the
best environment for a child or youth.
