Cargoes That Sailors Dislike.

According to the opinion of an old
shell-back, sugar, pine lumber and
coffee are three articles of commerce
that the average Davy Jones cadet
dislikes. They make him wuss'n sea-
sick. A pine cargo soaks ship and
its contents in turpentine smells, SO
that the very drinking water tastes
as if there was rosin in it. Sugar
cargoes ferment and the fumes COM
ing day and night from the hold
causes the severest headaches you can
think Of But coffee is the worst OF
all. A coffee cargo gives the ships
provisions a sickening coffee taste.

Separate Roosts.

When housing birds fo- winter it
should be taken into consideration
that the young birds require a little
more attention than the old ones, and
that the same conveniences do not
suit all ages. Old stock will get
along well on almost any kind OF a
roost, but it is not so with young
birds. Their bones are composed
mostly OF animal matter and are cas-
lily bent and thus easily deformed.
If chick is forced 10 sit all night
on little, narrow pole it will cause
him to bend almost double in order
to remain there and be comfortable,
and he will soon become crooked
backed, have leg weakness, or have a
crooked breast. Have separate roosts
for the young and old stock. The
young birds will choose the fiat, wider
pieces of board, and the old stock
will naturally take the higher ones
and better results will follow

l Study of Plant Food.

The principal foods of plants are
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash,
and it is these substances in the man
ure upon which plants principally
feed. When fertilizers are applied
the farmer gives his crops identically
the same principal foods that he sup
plies from barnyards, with the differ
ence that in the use of fertilizers he
knows just how many pounds of nj
trogen Tor ammonia) phosphoric acid
and potash he applies per acre, while
the proportions of these substances in
the manure are unknown and much
depends upon the kinds of foods from
which the manure is produced and
the manner it has been cared for.
Barnyard manure, while it pos.
sesses just what may be needed. con-
tains some substances in greater pro-
portion than OF others. Thus clover
is plant that prefers lime in some
form and requires very little ammo
MIA, while wheat does not require as
much lime as the clover. The barn
yard manure is expected to furnish
both substances to each crop, and yet
there might be a waste of ammonia
from the manure applied to the clo-
yer.
The custom has been to haul out
the manure and spread it for corn,
with hopeful results and from the
same heap the farmers would spread
the same kind of manure on the
ground prepared for wheat. All this
was proper enough in its way, for no
one can deny the fact that barnyard
manure possesses nearly all the re-
quirements of plants-of every kind
but why should there be applied
that which would be wasted because
OF not being put to proper use?
Improvement is taking place in the
domain of agriculture, marching
along steadily and swiftly, cutting
down in its path the follies of the
past and adding more knowledge ard
experience to The farmers, and to
nothing has more thoughtful atten-
ton been given than to the enrich
ment of the soil supplying plants
with the best available foods, accord
ing to their individual requirements.
Not one kind of fertilizer for all kinds
of plants, but special fertilizer of the
plant that needs 1.-THE Epitomist.

Equip the Farm.

The scarcity of help on farms will
ultimately drive land owners to
greater economy and TO a more gen.
eral use of devices and conyeniences
which tighten the work. 1t is sur
prising how many try to get along
by muscle power alone, never trying
out any other method, which might
save half their work. An old farmer
says that his neighbors called him
lazy when he first brought a hay
loader onto his farm, and when he
rugged up a cable and used a trip
hay fork to unload his hay he had a
good bunch of farmers around him,
lust to see how it worked" The
close figuring farmer counts all of
these labor savers just that much of
his equipment. and it is only by US
ing them that he is enabled to meet
present conditions. The walking
stirring plow and walking cultivators
are back numbers. Now the sulky
or gang plow is used, and three big,
lusty horses will turn over three or
four acres Z day. A manufacturer
has now gotten out rotary harrow,
which is attached to the plow, and
the land is turned and narrowed at
one operation. l believe that if any
man is justified in borrowing money
it is when he invests it in up-to-date
tools and implements for more rapid
and better work on the farm.-In-

Taking Care of the Harness.

There is nothing like leather,
But there is nothing like knowing
how to keep your leather goods in
fine condition, too. Leather is COM
posed of a mass of fine tendrils, init
mately interlocked and entwined.
When in good, pliable condition. each
tendril is capable of much stretching.
If allowed to become dry and hard,
when the leather is subjected to
severe pull, the tendrils break instead
of stretching. But this does not
mean that leather boots or harness
should be kept soaked with oil or
dressing. Elbow grease applied in
quantity is better. All dressings
should be applied sparingly," is the
sound advice of big saddlery con-
Germ. Black oil should always be
used on black harness and not heats
foot oil, as the latter oil, if it is used.
Will draw out the black dye and leave
the harness brown. The black har-
ness fats now on the market make ex-
cellent farm harness dressing. They
contain the -nourishment" necessary
for keeping the harness in good order.
But first, all dirt should be washed
on with lukewarm water and or
binary soap. The black fat should
then be applied with a cloth, given
short time TO penetrate the leather.
and then rubbed dry with. another
cloth. Some make the mistake of oil
ing without unbuckling the harness.
The parts that need nourishment the
most are under the buckles, where
the metal causes hardness and brittle
ness. If people would vary the holes
of the harness occasionally it would
last much longer.
An objection to neatsfoot oil is
that it inclines to wash off the bees
wax from the stitches, leaving the
bare thread, which then soon breaks.

To Cleanse Ponds.

Many ponds, small lakes, streams
and brooks and even the natural
basins which serve to catch the winter
rains to be utilized during the rain
less season for stock water frequently
become clogged with a vegetable
growth which renders the water
nauseous in taste and repulsive in
smell. In almost every case these
conditions are produced by small
plant whose origin is unknown to the
farmer and the effect OF which is
serious. To drain the water of will
not cause the destruction of the
growth, for as soon as the water is
returned the plants begin TO grow
again. A simple way and an inexpen-
sive one, is to draw small bag filled
with sulphate of copper (blue vitroD,
back and forth through the water.
If the pond is small, or the growth is
in a stream, the sulphate can be tied
to the end of a pole. If the pond
is large the bag may be trolled be-
hind boat. 1t frequently occurs
that viscid growth resembling moss
in strings appears in water tanks
and troughs at the wind mill or where
stream falls from a spring The
growth may be effectually killed by
using copper sulphate as described.
Let it be borne in mind that copper
sulphate is poison and should be used
with care. A dollars worth will clear
several acres of pond and a penny's
worth tank or water trough. Ice
ponds may be cleared of theobjection-
able moss in this way.-C. NJ. Gin

Lambs Dying From wool-Ball.

In cases of lambs dying from this
trouble, it is well to remember that
this may and does arise from two
separate causes.
Firstly, when grass is scarce and
ewes are short of milk, in the case of
twin lambs, it is usually the bigger
and stronger of the twins that dies.
This may appear strange, but it is
easily explainable. When the milk is
short, the stronger lamb drives of
the weaker one from the dam, and
by its persistent Juggling at the empty
udder for the sustenance it fails to
obtain, it takes into its stomach por-
tions of wool from about the udder of
its dam, which forms into a ball in
the stomach and causes death. In
such cases the shepherd should lose
no time in going over the flock and
cutting away the wool from the vicin-
ity of the udders.
Secondly, when the ewes are af-
fected with sheep ticks, the lambs by

for the teats dislodge the ticks and
these fall into the coats of the lambs
They are not accustomed to such
visitors and seek to rid themselves
by biting the ticks and in so doing

their own wool, death resulting.
Thus in post mortems to elucidate
causes of death it is necessary to note
whether the wool-ball is composed of
eve or lamb wool, before effective
measures CT precaution and preven-
ton can be taken.-W. r. Gilbert, in
