Farm Notes.

Each day brings its duties: each sea-
son has its appropriate labors.
Success in the poultry business does
not depend upon luck; 1t is pluck that
counts.
In using manure for q top dressing
only, much OF the fertility is dissipated
into the air.
Pure-bred fowls are not always stan
dard-bred, but all standardized fowls
must necessarily be pure-bred.
When desired to fatten rapidly there
is nothing better than good cornmeal.
Give all they will eat up clean.
When the chickens are off their feed
and do not eat with an apparent relish
increase the exercise and change the
bill of fare.
A stiff wagon tongue is boon to
the farm or draft horse 1t prevents
sore necks. because there is NO weight
to be borne.
A hen pays in proportion to the
number Of eggs she produces; there
fore, it is an item to feed so as to
secure plenty Of eggs
The use Of inferior bulls and stall
lions should be discouraged by the
farmers They can do this by pat
ronizing the really good males.
In arranging the nests, have them
arranged conveniently for the hens
so that in getting in and out there will
be little danger OF breaking the eggs.
You cannot make low-headed horse
look toppy and stylish by refining with
a tight rein, nor improve the style
of q lotty-headed fellows appearance.
The proper time to begin to handle
a colt is the first time you see it. The
sooner you begin to teach it submls-
sion and gain its confidence the bet
ter.
In Scotland, where there are many
successful sheep raisers the rams arc
allowed to run with the ewes night and
day, and as a rule receive an extra
feed.
Look for brains as well as feet,
limbs or body when buying a horse.
An animal that is sound in every menu
Der but has not level head Is never
a pleasant horse and seldom a valua-
BILE one.
Some breeders claim that a horse
with high ridge on the top of his
head will be balky unless carefully
treated, while a horse broad in the
forehead will be generally intelligent
and kind.

Chicken Cholera.

This is disease that is liable to
make trouble among the poultry at this
slime of the year. An excellent pre-
ventiye, as we'll as remedy, Is what IS
known as the Douglass mixture. 1t is
made by putting eight ounces OF sui
phate of iron into a jug, or glass bot
tie, with two gallons of water, after
which add one fluid ounce OF sulphuric
acid. A teaspoonful Of this mixture Is
put into each pint OF the drinking wat
er. It is one of the best tonics that
can be given to the hens, and it is
good plan to use it at all times whether
the hens are sick or well.-New York

How TO Grow China Asters.

How 70 Grow Cnihd HsteTS'
The china aster is one Of the best
hardy plants for cut flowers and for
planting in the garden. Transplant
from seed beds for summer flowers.
Seeds ,sown in the open border in May
give strong plants later In the season.
Try wood ashes to overcome the root
aphis which often attacks the aster.
Plants of china aster should be
transplanted when they are three or
four inches high. From this time on,
to get best results, some little care
must be shown. In transplanting, see
that as much earth clings to the roots
as possible, OF, If purchasing plants,
have them dug carefully.
Prepare the hole to receive the lifted
plant so that it will be big enough to
take in the ball OF earth and deep
enough to allow of the plant being half
an inch deeper in the ground than 1t
was in the seed bed, cover with fine
soil to the level Of the bed and press
gently about the roots; not too hard,
or you might break the delicate roots.
Always transplant. after sundown and
after rain if possible. If it must be
done in the morning put a teacupful
of water in each hole and shade from
the sun for day or two.
All that is necessary to do after
transplanting is to keep down the
weeds, and keep the surface soil open
and porus by frequent raking-at least
twice week-rake very lightly near
the plants so as not to disturb the
roots. In very dry season water the
plants from time to time, giving a
large cupful to each one and rake af-
terwards.-Indianapolis News.
