SHADING THE SOIL.

An important feature of clover is
the complete covering its affords the
land on which it is grown. for the
shade which it imparts is also a meth
cd of enrichiug and renewing soils,
while an observing farmer can easily
discover for himself by placing any
kind of covering over a barren spot
and allowing it to remain there a
while. So familiar is every one with
nothing more regarding it need be
mentioned. In some localities clover
seems to catch" better by being sown
about the first of September. for by
that time the young roots are firmly
established. and if the crop has been
well attended to in preparing the land
previous to sowing It starts out beau
tifully in the spring. 1t is always
sown alone in that case, as the plants
then need no shading, they being
strong and vigorous by the time the
warm days arrive. Do not cut clover
too close. nor allow cattle and horse
to trample il down unless you intend
to turn the sod under. BY sowing
plenty of seed and rolling it in, along
with top dressing OF fertilizer in the
spring. clover is as certain crop as
any other. If il is treated in this way
the fertilizer may be divided for that
purpose for light soils. but ON heavy
soils an occasional dressing of piaster
will suffice. provided such soils are
well MANFRED previous to plitting in
the seed.

IMpACTIoN OF STOMACH.

One can hardly estimate the dam
age done to stock by the many i'm
proper methods of feeding. A skilled
veterinarian told the writer recently
that fully one-half of his cases were
due to improper feeding and the maiE
sickness he had to cure was indiges'
zion in the usual forms or impaction
Of the stomach. which resulted from
chronic indigestion. Impaction OF the
stomach is due entirely TO feeding too
much coarse and dry food. and is
easily prevented by feeding a fair
amount of soft and succulent food
with each days rations.
Ii it were not for the fact that the
majority of cows have a chance to
recuperate during the summer by
being On pasture. the loss OF COWS
from impaction of the stomach would
be so great that it would be consid-
cred an Iepidemic. Several fortunes
have been made in this country ny as
many men WITH remedies for indiges-
ton in animals. all of which trouble
might have been avoided if the own
ers OF the animals had properly fed
them. Horses fare better in this re-
spect than COWS. and mainly because
they get more water. If horse IS
driven on the road he is allowed to
drink several times a day. while the
poor cows must be satisfied with two
or at most three times daily at the
water. Work some root crops and
some bran mashes into the daily "a
ton of the cows; never mind IL you
don't think these things make much
milk, they will, at least, keep the
stomach in good condition. The usual
remedy for compactior of the stomach
is a purge made of one pound Of EPSON
salts. oHe ounce OF ground ginger root.
one-half ounce powdered gamboge and
a cupful of molasses, all in two quarts
of warm water. After giving this dose
give a mixture consisting of two
ounces of whiskey and half drachm
of fluid extract of nux vomica in pint
of warm flaXsesd tea every five hours
until the bowels move freely.

FARM TOOLS.

Combined tool and sickle grinders
with high speed and interchangeable
emery wheels are to be found on all
we'll ordered farms, supplantins the
old time grindstone. The uses to
which it can be put are numerous
and every now and then one finds a
new use for it. Not only is it tool
and sickle grinder. but often it can be
used as a file. for which 1t is very
rapid and satisfactory. Hoes, axes
and all edged tools can be sharpened
in less than one-third the time re-
quired on a grindstone, and. as this
Job has to be done many times dur
ing the haying and weed cutting sea
son. the time saved In grinding these
tools is no small item. After the cut
ting season is over take my grinder
to the farm work shop and screw 1t
to the workbench. where it does many
stunts Bolts and keys are TO be re
duced. and file is too slow. Some
piece of metal is too thick: the emery
wheel will thin il. The emery wheel
requires no water. Do not put dirty
or gummy piece of work on it, as it will
gum up the wheel and make it click.
If a grindstone is to be used, set il
squarely and firmly fasten to stand.
Be sure to set true put water box or
drip can on it. The degree of coarse
ness of the stone. for general use,
should be medium. of course.-E. w.

POULTRY HOUSE BOOSTS.

While there are many plans for put
ting up roosts the best arrangement
is that which will give each fowl
that the birds will not need to fly
hight to reach the perch. With heavy
fowls the ladder, made by mailing
cleats two inches apart on board
eight inches wide. will be great help
in enabling the birds to reach the
roosts without flying. All roosts
should be arranged so that they may
be lifted from their supports and
cleaned once or twice month: this
is necessary, for the roosts harbor
house, and these vermin always get
into cracks, where they cannot be
reached unless the roosts is movable.
Whatever ones system of feeding
may be, never allow the fowls to go
to roost when hungry especially dur
ing the winter, and here is where the
advocates of the warm mash ar night
seems to be right in claiming that
the warm food assists in keeping the
body warmth of the bird during the
several hours it is inactive. There
is something in that argument. Again.
roosts must be arranged SO that no
draughts of cold air can blow over
them during the night, for this means
colds or perhaps roup.
The expense of protecting the roosts
from draughts is so small that it
seems absurd to mention the matter.
Make the fowls comfortable by night
and they will respond generously in
good health. plump carcasses and
more eggs-Indianapolis News.
