two weeks ago.
The following culprits were

white men; Will Bruce, Dude

Justice is blind as to whether y ou

turned up in the suburbs of

Farm and Garden Notes.

Teach the colt to draw loads by
degrees.
Wearing shoes too long Injuries the
horses feet.
The chief point in colt education is
to treat them kindly.
Balky horses are often made by
overlooking the colts.
Agood feed for ducklings is made by
mixing cornmeal and bran, equal parts,
into a mush with milk.
Every poultry keeper should have
trap nests, as they will help him pick
out the hens that are working.
A little phosphate sprinkled around
cucumber, squash, or melon vines will
effectually keep the bugs away
One of the reasons and probably the
main reason hens steal their nests out
is because the nests in the poultry
house are not kept clean and comfort
able.
Before placing eggs in the nest it is
a good thing to sprinkle insect powder,
sulphur or tobacco dust in it, as this
will keep away the lice and the young
chicks will be free to start on.
If we want to give the foal the best
possible chance, the mare should not be
worked during the nursing season, but
many good foals are reared while their
dams are working every day.
The great demand for high class
horses should not tempt the man who
is satisfied with scrub stations to go
into horse-breeding. The demand and
high prices are only for horses of first
class breeding.
Carefully protect that nice thrifty
wood lot. Keep the live stock out of
it and cut only such trees as are ma
ture, except where it is desirable to
thin them out. Make it one of the
beauty spots of the farm.
A good horse is the most sensitive of
animals, and feels an offense to his
pride far more keenly than mere phys.
ical cruelty. Women have naturally
greater tact and delicacy in dealing
with them than even the most hu-
name and considerate of men possess

To Keen Flies Off Stock.

batting the pest. He took an ordinary
oil barrel and put into it a wooden
spigot, using the barrel as a storage
tank. Two and a half gallons of
zenoleum, with five gallons of cotton
seed oil, were placed in the barrel
and enough water added to fill it. AS
required, the mixture thus formed
was drawn from the barrel and
sprayed upon cattle and horses, Or
applied with a sponge or cloth as DC.
casion demanded. The control of the
flies was not only quite perfect, but
It had one marked advantage not pos
sessed by most other mixtures for
the purpose in that the solution was
not greasy and sticky, but left the
coat of the animal in fine condition.
The mixture has the further advan-
tage of being a very economical one
a barrel of it being compounded at a
very small cost.

Look Well to the Poultry.

Whether the young birds are being
raised to lay eggs later or for the
carcass market, they need good care
during the summer. 1t is not enough
that they be turned onto the range;
they must be carefully fed, so that
they make the proper growth. This
is especially necessary with the stock
that is being raised for laying pur-
poses. The range is essential, but
no amount of grass will furnish all
3he food the growing chickens need.
let them have a liberal feed of grain
In the morning before they are let
out of the house and another at night
when they come home to roost. This
will be all they need if they have a
good range except an abundance of
fresh clean water and shade while on
the range. If n has a large num-
Der of fowls, great care must be TAX
en- not only to have the poultry hous-
es sweet and clean, but any portion
of the grounds where they congregate
In any number ought also to be kept
clean, which is best done by spading
up the ground after scattering lime
over it. Do this several times dur
ing the summer, and there will be lit
tie danger of disease in the focks.

Successive Crops of Corn.

The modern methods of agriculture
teach that a rotation Of crops is essen
tial for the best results and especially
is it necessary in order to keep up soil
fertility. "A correspondent asks the
Indianapolis News, How can you
recommend the rotation of crops so
strongly when experiment stations
grow corn year after year on the
same feld?" Our reader evidently
refers to- the work of the New Jersey
experiment station, but either forgets
to refer to their methods or else is
not familiar with them. On this ia
nous farm the soil is kept in the
highest state of fertility by proper
methods, and while it is true that
corn follows corn, it is only because
clover is grown as well, the plan be-
ing to SOW crimson clover at the last
cultivation of the corn, which is used
as green forage in the spring and
the corn stubble is plowed under,
and the same method again followed.
II it were not for the high fertility of
this soil and the growing Of the
crimson clover each year, it would
not be possible to follow corn with
corr year after year with profit.

The old system of boarding the
hired help is in less favor than former
ly, owing in part to the undesirable
average quality of modern hired help.
With the advance in wages in other
employments it has become difficult
to hire men fit to be boarded and
housed with the family. In the East
ern States the plan is gaining ground
of hiring gangs of foreigners, who are
housed in shanties, and who do their
W cooking and housekeeping. Farm
ers who do not employ enough labor
to use this plan are in many cases put
ting up cheap tenement houses or buy.
ing abandoned houses in the neighbor-
hood in which they can place a hired
man and his family. A much better
class of help can be obtained by this
plan than by almost any other. The
undesirable quality of the average
hired nan is a very serious consider
alton in the employment of farm help.
The manufacturer does not take his
hired man into his home or bring him
into contact with his family, but the
farmer is obliged to do so to some ey-
tent by any plan. 1t is worth while
to pay a little more and get a man
whose intelligence and morals make his
influence and presence satisfactory in
the farm family.-American Cultivator.
