This opened the eyes OF our friend anu

For Worms in Horses.
In response 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 and
powdered wormseed, m and one-half
ounces of splgella root, powdered; one
and one-half pounds of granulated
sugar. Mix we'll and divide equally into
ten powders. Each morning for six
mornings give one powder in a bran

ounce of ginger. After three days give
the remaining powders, n each day.
Good care must be taken of the horse

light work or smart exercise In the
field. The regular feed during the
period should be light and all hay

ln%creasino 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 that which he has so
persistently advocated for years. The
eNperimenters found that stable man.
are carted to the field and spread soon
after ii was made, gave a crop return
IN value amounting to SIS cents per ton
more of value, and that when
crude phosphate rock was occasionally
s%prinkled 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 the corn without further fertil-
Eng and with satisfactory results.
This report is one more proof that
farmers are lightly losing many dollars
they would give more time to studying
their business.
About Seedless Apples.
Several papers have shown illustra-
tons of a so-called seedless apple and
had more or less to say in favor of 1t,
While it will rot do to condemn any
new thing which may develop merit as
time goes on. it is safe to say that even
should a seedless apple prove to be
with the better varieties which have
seeds in smaller or large numbers. AS
II f~rult-grower p%ertinently says, IF
some II Will ORIGINATE and introduce
an apple without n core, we will well
come 1t. but | cannot see much of a
future for a seedless apple" Fruit
growers will find many good varieties
of apples among the standard sorts
and can afford to let seedless apples
alone for a time at least. If there is
any value to such an apple. nursery
men will find it out and the fruit-grow-
er will then les of it and in ample
time to benefit him.
Holding Ammonia in Manure.
Land plaster, or gypsum has UNI
doubted value in holding the ammonia
or nitrog in stable manure, although

any OF the latter is used. It is true
SSa1nlte is more expensive in first cost
put then it not only holds the ammonia
better than the gypsum, but it adds to
II a desirable plant food which gypsum
does not. If one must. for any reason
store the stable for some por-
tion OF the winter, the bulk Of its value
Will be maintained if stored in pits with
cement bottoms SO that the LIQUID por-

with kainite occasionally during the
winter. The cost is small red

A Cheap Piggery.
In building a house for pigs if 10
more a question of sensible al. ange-
ment than of costly material
or accurate architecture The
plan is described especially for
a narrowing e and is ideal for
that purpose. The floor space used is
IONA feet. divided into two SKI pens
with a two foot alley off. 1t is 6 feet
IN front, 4 feet in the rear and the
are 8 feet high. Openings
are cut in the rear so that the Yards
can be reached and an opening is chr
in each pen to the alley just large
enough for the little pigs to get
through and feed from the trough SET
across the middle of the alley. The
