Worse Stables fhould Be DRosmy—Farm Savings— Various Msthods Notes and Re- cipes for the Farmer and His Wife and Kis Children, and The Towa Felks Stables for Herses, Tostand in a narrow stall day after «day is not conducive to either comfort «or health, writes: Heory Stewart It «ramps and stiffens the muscles and weuries the animal. A large stall in ‘which the horse may be left loose is far bettar for the animal which is able 20 move about and exercise the .aus- «les. A single close stall should be cleaned every morning, as the drop- plags oollect in a bunch and the liquid woon forms a puddle. But this does mot happen in a bux or loose stall. und if sufficient litter is used to keep the horse clesn, the manure may re- main in the stall until it is a foot deep. If a peck of land plaster’ is scattered «over the floor occasionally and ligter -anough to keep the horse clean and dry is used, the stable will be much less odorous than one with the com- mon stalls cleaned every day; snd in- «deed from all odors whatever. These loose, roomy stalls are excellent for mures and colts. The manger should be raised high enough to prevent ma- nure being dropped in it The use of such stalis for horses and cows both during several years past has proved convenient, comfortable and econ omi- cal, and it completely avoids the com- mon danger of horses being cast and injured, as is likely in the common narrow stalls with halter fastenings. Save Everything. The saving of the various substances that are supposed to possess no value, by adding them to the manure heap, amounts to a large item in the course of a year. There is nothing grown on the farm, either by seeding for the crop or voluntary growth of weeds, that will not contribute .something to the fertility of the soil if the materials are appropriated to the purposes for which they are adapted. Even weeds can be made useful in eariching the soil Cutting Petatoe: for deed, There is no more sense ia calling the small, immature tip end of a pota- to the *'seed end” than in applying that name to the snout of an eur of <orn, says the Mirror and Farmer, and it would be more rational to cut off the tip end and throw it away and plaat the body of the potato; and this is done by soma of the best [aurmers. If the object is to get the most from a given amount of seed, cut to one eye and put one in a hill. But it is proba- ble that two of these pieces in hills a little father apart would give mors per acre. On cold, wet soil. small pieces are more apt to rot. Some varieties spread or bush more than others, and some will produce several! stalks from one oye. lt is an axiom that like produces like, and if we want large potatces we should plant large ones. Not whole, necessarily, for we do not the perfect fruit; nor do we hear of potatoes growing in slices from that may not be improved by seed se- lection, and all results toes or oppose large ones for planting, are probably due to some outside cause that is not taken into consideration The arguments against ing them and insuring a large propor- tion of small potatoes; and whole po- and in that condition they furnish no food to the young plant. Shipping Dressed Poultry. The prices obtained for pealiry will depend largely on the coadition which they are when they market, and the owner should endeav- or to make them as presentable as sible. Dressed through the mouth, the point ot knife touching the brain, kill them instantly. the The bird while warm, and then carefully picked ever for pin feathers. No scalding should be done, but the “dry picked” process should be adopted in all in- stances. As the crops should be empty no food should be given them within twenty-four hours of the killing time. When the pin feathers are all re- moved throw the chicken into ice could water, to remain an hour; then take it out, wipe dry, and pack ia clean box- «8 or barrels, using straw between the layers, but no paper. Simply pack the birds, and do not remove eatrails, foot or head. An Extraordinary Cow, George W. Kirker, who lives nine miles southwest of Delano, and two miles east of Poso, Cal, has a cow that takes the bakery for milk and but ter, and shows just how profitable the dairy business is in that section. Mr. Kirker has kept a close account with her cowship for a year past giving her credit for all the milk, and keep- 184 ospunt of ali butter sold. The of the year amount to $115, which is proof! enough of the profits The cow is a full-blood Jersey. Blood Will Tell. As evidence that “blood will tell" the Texas Stockman cites the fact that only in the extreme north and south ends of Texas are “straight Texas calves” found. When one is found among a bunch of feed cattle it can be told from those containing a littie improved blood by the effect the feed has. The grade call improves rapidly on feed while ine Texas calf remains in the same old rut The Texas cow and the Mustang pony both require the infusion of new blood to make them any account. Egyptian Corn, A Kern county, California, farmer states that last June he sowed 800 acres of land with Egyptian corn. In October he harvested 500 acres of it obtaining thirtysix sacks or about Jue § per acre.

Lime Fertilizer, Lime has the advantage of being beneficial at all seasons, though its affects in the soil may not be immedi- ate. It never injures land if properly applied, und though its results may be unsatisfactory ut first, yet the effects are lasting, the {ime supplied this eur proving beneticisl inthe future. Ame is cheup and should be used freely. Heusehold and Farm Notes, The average duration of the cow's service us a milker is estimated at eight years among the well-managed dairies, but individual cows often milk well until aged.

Silk, of ull grades and colors, cun be washed in clear water which is poured off from grated raw potatoes. Dip a piece of silk in this water and wipe them on both sides with a coarse towel Bright yellow butterflies are among the most decorative things that can be made oul of silk muslin. Perched on a picture frame or—by daylight only on a lampshude, they are lovely artis- tic bits. A good wash gioves way to kid gloves.
