For Worms in Horses.
In espon to numerous requests we
repeat the remedy for worms in horses
which was given in this department
some months ago. Take two ounces
each of powdered sulphate of iron n
powdered wormSeed, n and one-half
ounces Of spigella root. powdered; n
and one-half pounds of graduated
sugar. Mix we'll n divide equally into
ten powders. Zach morning for six
mornings give n powder in Il bran
nash n then give as a physic ball.
an ounce of Barbados aloes and half
ounce OF ginger. After three days give
the remaining powders, one each day.
Good care must be taken of the horse
while under treatment giving him only
light work or smart exercise in the
field. The regular feed during the
period should be light and all hay
should be we'll moistened before feed

Increasing Manure Value.
The Ohio experimental station has
been doing some good work along the
line of proving how the value of stable
manure may be increased by proper
handling. 1t is peculiarly gratifying to
the writer to read the report because
it substantiates tina which he has so
persistently advocated for years. The
eXperimenters found that stable nan
are carted to the field and spread soon
after 1t was made, gave a crop return
in value amounting to SIS cents per ton
more of manure value, and that when
crude phosphate rock was occasionally
sprinkled on the manure a value of
Is cents more was added, more than the
cost of the phosphate. The crop on
which the experiment was tried was on
clover sod plowed under for corn. In
the experiments, wheat and clover fol-
lowed h corn without further fertil-
Eng n with satisfactory results
This report is one more proof that
farmers are lightly losing many dollars
they might save with little effort II
they would give more time to studying
their business.
About SeedIess Apples.
Severa papers have shown illustra-
tons of a so-called seedless apple an6
had more or less to say in favor of it
While it will not do to condemn any
new thing which may develop merit as
time goes on, 1t is safe to say that ever
should a seedless apple prove to be
fairly good it will be unable to compete
with the better varieties which havt
seeds in smaller or large numbers. A.
one fruit-grower p%ertinently says, IL
some n will originate and introduce
an apple without a core, we will wei
come it.. but i cannot see much of (;
future for a seedless apple" Fruit.
growers will find many good varietie.

and can afford to let seedless apple,
alone for a time at least. II there Il
my value to such an apple, nursery,
men will find it out and the fruit-grow
err will hen hear OF it and In ampl
time to benefit him.
Holding Ammonia in Manure.
Land plaster, or gypsum has un
doubted value ii. holding the ammoni:
or nitrogen in stable manure. although
some scientists dispute this. Still kahn
lite is so much better for this purpos
than the gypsum that 1t is IL wonde
n of the latter is used. 1t is tru
kainite is more expensive in first cos
but then 1t not only holds the ammoni:
better than the gypsum, but it adds I,
1t IA desirable plant food which gypsum
does not. If one must. for any reason
store the stable for some por
ton of the winter, the bulk of it's valu
will be maintained If stored in pits witt
cement bottoms so that the liquid por
tions are retained and the mass treate
with kainfte occasionally during tn
winter. The cost is small compare
with increased alu of the manur,
Try 1t his winter and you will becom

A Cheap Pigeery.
In building Il house for pigs it i
more a question of sensible arrange
ment than of costly materia
or accurate architecture. TIL
plan is described especially fo
a narrowing pen and is ideal fo
that purpose. The floor space used
1OX14 feet, divided into two SKI pen
with a two foot alley off. 1t is G fee
high in front. 4 feet in the rear and tn
partitions are 3 feet high. Opening
are Gu in the rear so that the yard
can be reached and an opening is GU
in each pen to the alley just larg
enough for the little pigs to ge
through and feed from the trough Sc
across the middle of the alley. TIL
