Let the Old Cow. Go.

After a cow has outlived the period
Of greatest usefulness, 1t is best to
I'LL her place with another, and the
best way We find to get rid of her is
TO dispose of her from grass. If a
calf is by her side, the two are usua-
ally sold together, and the time of
selling is at such time as the grass
lat shows to the greatest advantage.

Summer Care of Horses.


A great many horses are laid up
every summer with sore shoulders
This can be remedied in a very large
measure with sense and care.
A good horse collar is the main part
of the harness and it should be Of
the very best kind and fit the animals
neck perfectly.
The collar should be kept clean at
all times and the horses shoulders
well washed and brushed daily.
Much dust and dirt arise in the
fields and on the roads during the
warm season, and this is caught and
held on the moist and sweaty Shout
ders and collar, there to form hard
Jumps and ridges.
Every time the collar is put on the
horse it should be examined for those
ridges and Jumps. If any are found
they should be carefully brushed and
rubbed away.
After each days work, especially in
warm weather, battle and clean the
shoulders with a mixture of warm
water, salt and soda
Hot water is one of the best known
natural agents for relieving soreness.

A family of barn owls will number
from three to seven birds 1t is diff
cult to believe what a lot of vermin
and rodents family of owls will con-
sumo. An old owl will capture as
much or more food than a
dozen cats In night. The
owlets are always hungry. They
will eat their weight in food every
night and more If they can get
it. A case Is on record in which a
half grown owl was given all the mice
1t could eat. 1t swallowed eight one
right after another The ninth fol-
lowed all but the tail, which for some
time hung out of the birds mouth.
The rapid digestion of birds of prey
is shown by the fact that in three
hours the little glutton was ready for
a second meal and swallowed four
more mice. If this can be done by a
single bird what effect must a whole
family Of owls have on the rodents of
a community?

A Friend at Court.
AS a scout for the Confederate army
William L. Royal had many narrow
escapes. He describes one adventure

the command, under Lieut.. Col. Tim
othy O'Brien, was at The Grove II
the lower end of Fauquier County, Vir
ginia, where the regiments had been
stationed for several weeks.
AT The Grove there were two
churches, and nothing else; one was
a Presbyterian church, on the north
side of the public road, the other
Baptist church, on the south side. My
mothers home was distant only two
miles from The Grove. Ny father, 9
Presbyterian minister, had built the
Presbyterian church at The Grove, and
preached in it for twenty years. He
was buried at the back Of the church
THE officer in charge of the party
that had captured me was lieutenant
in the Second New York Cavalry. He
had frequently ridden over to my
mothers house, and had made the &C
quaintance of the family. They treat

Scours in Pigs.

The following remedy for securing
in pigs is recommended by veterin-
airy surgeon: Wash their feed troughs
thoroughly with hot water and soap.
Rinse with cold water and then wash
with soda and water. Do this every
morning. Their milk should be kept
as cool as possible and free from con.
terminating influences. Discontinue
their run on grass. Put little pow
dered sulphate copper in the water
they drink-not over two or three
grains to each pig.

Bitter Milk,

Bitter milk may originate from two
sources. The first source is dependent
upon the COW, while the second is due
to the growth of bacteria in the milk
after 1t has been drawn The differ.
ence between these two classes of bit
ter milk is that the first has a de-
c1dedly acid taste when freshly drawn,
while the second class is sweet when
taken from the COW, but the bitterness
occurs after standing for a short time
and Increases in intensity. Bitter
milk when produced in the udder may
result from improper feeding with
such of our Colorado herbs as lupines,
artemisia and the like, or with the
raw Swedish turnips, cabbages, etc.
Bitter milk may be observed during
the last stage of lactation and has fol-
lowed the infection of ducts with bac-
terra which act on the proteids as an
engine, converting them into peptones
and other products to which the bit
ter taste is probably due.-Field and

Beautifying the Rural Home.

It is to be regretted that many coun
try homes, with their ample space and
unsurpassed opportunity for the cultiva
tion of choice trees, shrubs and plants,
present dull, dreary, and uninviting
appearance. The farmer, occupied with
multitude of duties and accustomed
to look at matters from purely utili
tartan standpoint, may feel that he has
little time for beautifying his home. Yet
it is fact from the entirely practical
and financial point of view, that small
sum judiciously invested in fine trees
and shrubs, with a little care and time
for their growth, will return many times
their cost, while their elevating and re-
fning influence upon the inmates of the
home, and especially upon the minds of
growing children, is incalculable. To
surround ones dwelling with collection
of rare trees and beautiful flowers, re-
posing upon a well-kept lawn, is to Gre
ate in sons and daughters an interest in
plant craft, sense of pride in home and
an ardent love for all that pertains to
both.
