FARM NOTES, A MAN who has no creamery, and who loves his wife as a man should, ought to carry his milk to a factory in his vicinity, if for no other reason than to save his wife, ————— Cony that is fresh and dry is excel- lent food for growing poultry. Better give them a good feed of it alone at night; it heats and keeps them warm these ooo! wights. GUINEAS are good burglar or chicken thief alarmers. A pair if kept in the poultry house will never allow danger to lurk about; their voice can be heard for considerable distance. WHEN the frost has killed the tomato and bean vines, pull up the stakes and poles and lay away till wanted in the spring. In this way they may be made to last for years, Throw the vines upon the compost heap, Tue skin of animals is an excretory organ. Now, if the pores are filled with dirt the organ cannot perform its office efficiently. Keep the skin as clean as possible. This may be done partially by keeping bedding clean, keeping dirt from sifting down trom above, currying, ete, RECENTLY the Department of Agrl- culture, through the division of ento- molegy, has been engaged in the collec- tion and importation of parasites and predacious insects from Australia, The object is to introduce into this country for the benefit of frult-growers, the nat- ural enemies of injurious insects, THE richest land on the farm may be that which is not cultivated, simply be- cause of lack of drainge. The swamp land is full of allavial soil, and can be made to grow all kinds of crops If drained and cleared.

A movement is on foot to compel the cattle owners to do the fencing, mn order to keep their animals from roaming destructively over other people's property. THE American Oultwator says that some farmers argue that it is best to set posts early in the fall, when the ground is solid, Of course, a post carefully set at any time will remain in its place; but fall is really a much worse lime than in the spring. Digging the hole makes the soil loose, and if done in the fall it has not time to become compact again, Water filters down through the loose soil, which will raise the post a Hitle every year until ic throws it out altogether. If the soil has time to set- tie, it absorbs less moisture, and after the first year, if the heaving out has not already begun it will rarely begin. AX instantaueous method of dehorn- ing calves about a week old is to apply for an instant to the little cone or em- bryo horn a common turee-fourths inch nut, riveted to the end of an iron rod and Leated red-hot, A little gresse should ko rubbed on afterwards, For calves from ode to feur month old a palr of blaoksmith’s pincers were (lled quite sharpe, and with ome sulp the little button was cut clear from the surf An application of tar and Fe applied to keep off the flies, a optration was over. ‘This is me of J.
