UTILIZING WASTE MEAT.
I killed a small calf that had been
hurt by the cows. This meat, after it
had been cut up, I put in a large ves-
gel, and between each layer I sprinkled
a little salt. When it was all nicely
packed I put some sulphur on a small
shovel and lit it, and set it on
meat and closed the lid. After
minutes the shovel was taken out and
the vessel stored away in the poultry
house. The chickens were fed a couple
— ye
mowers and reapers to work on, the
feed troughs to be adjusted and blocks
of stovewood to be split, all of which
can be done under ghelter. If farmers
would employ rainy days in doing
these and other things that are
much needed, there would not only
be fewer dayg spent in loitering
around the mill, the shop, the
office and the country store; but things
would go on far better at home. The
tools would be Kept in good order and

FARM WORK ON RAINY DAYS.
There is no end of small jobs on the
farm that need to be done, but we do
not find time to attend to them as
they present themselves. It is a good
plan to utilize the rainy days In do
ing the things that have been neg.
lected. We can thus obviate the nee-
essity of getting wet and at the same
time be profitably employed. The har-
ness need mending and oiling, the plow
stocks need tightening, the handles in
the axes, hoes and shovels need look-
ing after, the tools need grinding and

On heavy soils, such as are underiaid
with clay, the advantage is to spread
in the fall, but if tho land is rolling
the manure should be plowed under in
order to prevent loss. The plowing
benefits the land by admitting the ac
tion of the elements to a certain depth
below the surface, throws up the cut
worms to the cold, and permits the
soil to be broken to pleces and disin
tegrated. The ground should be left
in the rough state for the reception
of the manure, or else be passed over
with a cultivator afterwards. With
