Have a clea floor on which to feed the swine. A hog does not like to ea in filth, and it does not improve tin pork to compel him to do it, either, Whenever von find a man's nam. on a package of fruit that is invariabi honestly packed, that wame will be worih a good deal of money to it: owner. It does not necessarily require « large farm to carry a profitable tock o sheep. Suit the flock to the farm Tiere is no profit in trying to carry more than the iarm is able to. Siephen Powers calls attention in the Ghio Farmer to the value of wheat bran #8 a remedy for scours in jambs, and itis a fact that it is one of the very best remedies. Feed it dry. If you have a nice thoroughbred calf aud turn it out to hump itself in the corner of the fence in the storms and cold, next spring vou will say: “Pais talk about a thoronghbred being better than a scrub is all bosh.” Now is a good time to straighten that ditch that winds through the fields making so manv short furrows and “Louts” in enltivating corn. A few short hours or a aay with plow and te m1 may save many a day's work next year. Try it. Lue question heing raised as to whether it was beiter to have cows “come in" every year, or to have them bred once in two years, the Ru ral New Yorker made inquiries of a number of dairymen, and their testi- mony is in favor cf the former plan. On damp davs the fowls will some- times look sickly and drawn up, show- ing no disposition to activity. Atsuch times they should receive a warm feed- ing three times a days, into which a little m ‘lted tallow has been poured. ‘orn makes good feeding on cold, damp days. lt may not be an easy matter to roast corn for large flocks, but for a small number a feed of parched cori. or wheat once a week, or oftener it convenient, will be an excellent chang: from the ordinary routine. It take: the place of charcoal to a limited de gree, and is very stimulating. At this season of the year the farme should permit his hens to wander ove the stubble fields not yet plowed. Such exercise does them much good. Too much penning up retards their growtl; and they become lazy for want of exer- cise. Like pigs, they need a turning into a field or orchard for a romp. An English dairy writer says: Dai ry work has made such gigantic strides forward within the last ten years, and there have been so many wonderfu discoveries and inventions in this de partment that wo may not now be sur- prised at anything, but may yet eclipse Edison and his electric marvels before many years. Farmers’ mutton may and should be the best in the world, says the Or ange County Furmer. As soon as the gheep’s head is ent off hang up the car- cass at once, slita small hole high uy between the hind legs, insert a funne: and pour in very cold water—all the body wiil hold. This will prevent the “sheepy taste.” Sheep often are troubied with tape worm. Watch the excrement and you witl find segments of the worm, when it exists. The remedy is to have the animal fast tor twelve hours and then give turpentine, arnica root and linseed oil, halt ounee of the first, a dram of the second and four ounces of the third in six ounces of water. A strange and fatal epidemic among hogs prevails in the central part of Marshall county, Towa, and is carry- ing off large numbers of the animals. The symptoms resemble thoselof tv pho'd fever in the human being, and the an’. mal sometimes lingers for many days. finally perishing of starvation as much as anything else, for they will eat no- thing. No remedy can be found. Stagnant water, says the Live Stock Indicator, 1s injurious to all kinds of fruit trees or plants, and during the winter especially it is often the case that serious injury is done them by al- lowing water to stand around them and freeze. In many cases a little work at the right time would easily avoid this. In setting trees in the fall see that good drainage is given. In storing fruit or vegetables in the cellar, says an exchange, the better plan is to have boxes or bins, and ar- range them so that they will be raised two or three inches above the ground and the same distance from the wall. This gives a cold air space all around them, and will aid materially in keep- ing at a more even temperature, while at the same time the risk of injury by frost is considerably lessened. Never fasten the nests to the walls. No poultry house can be kept clear of lice as long as the nests remain in a position that prevents their beirg thor- oughly cleaned, and to do this properly they should be taken outside of the house. The nests are the harboring places of lice and need overhauling of- tener than anything else m the poultry house. Ordinary “soap and candle boxes make the best nest boxes. Many animals refuse food and lose appetite simply for the lack of a little salt to give the food a pleasant taste. Animals will reject tasteless food as well as humans. Salt is essential to digestion, and it should be provided. There need be no fear of giving too much salt if the food is slightly season- ed with i. A small quantity of salt and water sprinkled over the hay or added to the mash will induce the ani- SRK EA Jason Jones is of thie opinion that some time it will tonnd oat by dai- rvimen that, other things being eyual, 4 can 8 inches in diameter and 20 inches deep, filled with milk just drawn rom the cow, and plunged into its ears on water at 45°, will cream the milk tully as perfectly as any other similar can, in whatever cabinet case it may he placed.
