Every farmer in hit annual rrjierxeace
Jtteovert tumething of value. Write it nail
tern/ it to the ' k A <l ricultural Kititor of Ihr
DKM'H HAT, JiclUfonte, I'enn'u," that other
farmert amy have the benefit of it. I.et
communication* be timety, and be tare that
they are brief and well /minted.
IT is a-wrong notion that cattle
must be kept in a barnyard all day
or a part of a day to get exercise.
How much exercise will they take
during the entire day '! .lust enough
to get from one pile of fodder to
another, or to find, if they can, a
warm spot to stand on. If you do
not believe this, watch a cow and see.
Fasten cattle in the stable so they i
can get up and down easily, and this
is all the exercise they require.
Now is the time to thin out poultry ;
cull out all the hens over two years
old, and keep no more cocks than are
wanted for next season's use. The
fact is that unless you have been more
careful in breeding than farmers gen
erally are, you lind ln-tter keep no
cocks of your own raising, but send
them all to the pot, and get an in
fusion of new blood, of your favorite
breed, by getting a well bred cock
from some of the established and
respectable breeders.
TIIE forty-pound fat lamb costs
less in food than any forty pounds of
growth added afterwards, and inings
about three prices |>er pound. Take
pains to have the lambs come large
and strong by feeding the ewes well
now. This gives thein an excellent
send ofr, and when they are once
well started, proper care and plenty
of feed, in addition to the milk of the
irrlt fret rirr, w ill make them reach the
forty or fifty pound mark at an as
tonishingly early age.
THERE is no crop raised which
yields so large an amount of food
and with sollttle labor as Indian corn,
and it is none too early now to Isar
in mind that much of the success of
the next season's crop depends upon
the thoroughness of all the prepara
tions which are to Is- made for it.
One of the most important malt* rs
connected with the "getting ready"
for the crop, is to IK? sure that your
seed is good. Much of last year's
corn crop in this county was husked
and cribbed in a damp condition, and
we very inucb fear that those who
dejK-nd ujton getting this seed corn
from the crib will sutfer disappoint
ment when they watch daily for its
"coming up." The severe cold of
the last few weeks must have penetrat
ed to the very "marrow" of corn in
open cribs, and any tliat w as not thor
oughly dry, is more than likely to
have its germ destroyed by the frost.
It will not Im- laltor lost to place s l>ox
of good soil in a warm place and
plant In it a numlier of grains of the
corn you intend for seed. The nnm
lcr which "come up," when compared
with the number you plant, will give
you a pretty correct Idea of what
; percentage of your spring planting
you may expect to see germinate.
As the wood supply of the country
decreases, the amount of coal con
sumed by the farmers rapidly in
creases. Indeed It is rarely Hint we
now find a farm house in which there
is not at least one constantly burning
coal fire. Most fanners arc well aware
of the value of wood ashes ss n fer
tiliser, but few place the proper esti
mate upon those coming from the
coal stove. Experience long since
taught us that they have a decided
manurial value, and that in addition
to this, their mechanical effect upon
the heavy clay aoiln which abound in
our county is very happy. We coun
sel all our farmer friends to carefully
save all the coal ashes, so that in the
spring they may lie applied to the
land. In support of our own opinion
we quote from the Husbandman a
report of an experiment insde with
coal ashes "applied at the rate of 200
bushels to 20 square rods, or 10
bushels to the square rod. The soil
was compact and heavy. The ashes
were drawn on late in the autumn
and spread on the ground, which had
been recently plowed. In the spring
the plowing was completed, thor
oughly mixing the ashes with the
soil. The ground was planted with
garden vegetables. The beneficial
result was in the correction of the
heavy character of the soil, the ashes
acting mechanically and not as a
manure, and producing a satisfactory
improvement."
Youngest Meat Most Profitable.
f>#r <>f lti lluml New V"rk<-r.
The youngest beef is the most pro
fltahie; it is certainly the most palat
able. The farmer who fats and
slaughters a two-year-old steer or
heifer has some choice, tender meat
at the lowest possible cost. 1f he fed
the steer till four years old the meat
would cost bO per cent. more. Let

The Disappointed Granger.
Fl'-in tli ll'irliiig- n llmkr)*.
There was a man lived near Put
nam, Mass., who hod a favorite dog.
a Maltese cross cat and twenty-nine
hens, with their natural guardians
and consequent broods and accom
panying enemies. Something nightly
invaded this man's palatial hennery,
sucked a few eggs and ate a tender
weetling little chicken now and then.
Tin? man investigates!. The robber
was a terrible enemy of hencoops, the
American P. <\, or the Arctic polar
eat. The man carefully opened two
or three eggs, he poisoned them with
Paris green and strychnine and laid
them on the floor of the hen house.
At a late hour the next morning he
gut up, and went to look at the dead
p. e fpolaris catharlicus). The first
thing he saw was a dead dog. his
own favorite dog, midway between
the house and hennery. He wept
with grief and rage, and wondered
who could have lieeu so mean and
cruel. The next tiling lie saw in the
Coroner's line was a dead .Maltese
cross eat. He shuddered and said:
"I can never tell my wiftr of this."
Then he fom I two dead hens, and
his heart misgave him. He went into
the hennery and counted eleven more
dead liens, ami then he knew that
what the dog and cat couldn't eat
the hens had finished. He picked up
six hens that were just passing into
the gloomy SIHMIC of the shades.
And. while he gnashed his teeth and
rehearsed little speeches to himself,
he saw something with his nose, and,
looking afar off on the sandy hillside,
he heard the p. c. that lie hated
creeping among the rocks to his soli
tary lair like the south wind passing
over a bank of fish, stealing and giv
ing night-blooming serious. "Ah!
thus," he said, "from childhood's
hour my fondest hopes have passed
away: the cake is dough, the milk is
sour, a general flavor of decay comes
willi the breeze from yonder lulls;
O cup of sorrow's bitterest dregs!
grim death the dog and Maltese kills,
but spares the thing that sucked the
eggs."
Liquid Manure.
One of the most successful garden
ers we know of, uses liquid manure
largely. He has a large tub, a dis
carded whale-oil cask or sugar hogs
head will do, holding several barrels,
sunk partly in the earth, near the
middle of his vegetable garden. He
has a cheap trough, made by nailing
two four-inch strips together in the
sha|e of a V.to conduct the water
from his sink s|K>ut into the tub,
whenever it is needed. It is not far
from the well, and extra water is run
from the pump into the tub, whenever
it is needed. Into this tub all the
slops from the chambers are emptied
during the summer. Another line of
cheap troughs conducts the liquid
manure to any desired part of the
garden. With a long-handled dipper,
he stands at the tub, and waters the
growing vegetables and fruit tree*,
as their wants demand. He always
has fine fruits and vegetables. When
a house stands several feet higher
than the garden, the tub or vat for
holding the liquid manure ran lie
kept wholly above ground, and the
water be drawn otr by a plug at the
Ivoltom of the vat. This will save
the labor of dipping. The results of
using liquid manure upon growing
vegetables are astonishing. If the
ganlen is large and the wastes of the
house are not sufficient, it is easy to
increase its quantity by placing a few
j>ounds of guano in the vat, and add
ing water from the well or cistern.
The water should have the lencflt of
one day's sun, and be applied just at
evening, or very early in the morn
ing.
TIIE following may lie accepted as
an approximate to the average quan
tities of milk given by the different
breeds of cows : Natives produce an
nually 1794 pounds; Jersey. 3820;
Ayrshire, 4300 ; Holstcin, 45517.
ASIIKS are, for many soils, a stand
ard fertiliser. Places where a tree
or brush heap has Itecn burned often
show the effects of the manuring for
years. It is an old fMtying; "The
land never forgets ashes."

If any part of the body yets frozen,
' the very worst thing to do is to apply
heat directly. Keep away from the
fire. Use snow if you can get it : if
not, use the coldest possible water.
Last winter our little boy of five
years froze his feet while out coasting
at considerable distance from the
house. He cried ail the way home,
' and the case seemed pretty bad. 1
I brought a big panful of snow and
put his feet into it, rubbing tbem
with the snow, liut my hands could
not stand the cold. 1 was alarmed
to see hi in keep his feet in the snow
so long, but lie could not bear them
out of it. It was half an hour before
he would take them out. and then the
pain was all gone, and when I had
wiped thein dry and rubbed them a
little, he was entirely comfortable,
put on his stockings and shoes, and
went to play. He never afterwards
had any trouble with his feet on
account of this freezing. His sister
got her feet extremely cold, anil put
them at once to the fire. Her ease
at first was not so bad as her
brother s, hut the result was much
worse. Her fi-et were very tender
all winter, and she suffered from
chilblains. Her t<>es bail a swollen

Erieks Without Straw.
KM F ll.* Am*N< AT. Ai*RV TIHOR T.
The "bricks without straw or clay"
idea, is of wide aj.plication as to farm
animals generally—to cows and bens
making milk and eggs; to sheep
making wool; to growing colts,
calves, lambs, pigs, etc., making flesh
and 1one: to working animals making
muscle to supply the place of that
used up by exertion of strength ; to
all animals, human included, making
fat to supply that used up constantly
in keeping the body warm, especially
in winter. All must have the raw
materials to manufacture from, and
among these water not ice cold, or
nearly so. in full supply, is one of
the indispensable elements—not the
only one.
A Word or Two for Stock Owner*.
The IHSI cows are usually the
thinnest ones and the largest caters.
The warmer the stables are kept
for animals the less food will they
require.
Winter and spring butter is often
injured in flavor by allowing cows to
eat the litter from horse stables.
"Horn-all" is chiefly caused by
poor blood and poor circulation, and
cxjK.siire does more to produce this
condition than anything else.
TIIF. following graphic portraiture
of a too common but eternally profit
less treadmill experience is credited
to "a well-known Illinois writer
"1 he average \t estern farmer toils
linrd, eaily and late, often depriving
himself of needed rest and sleep—for
what ? To raise corn. For what ?
To feed hogs. For what? To get
mgney with which to buy more land.
For what? To raise more corn. For
what' To feed more hogs. For
what? To buy more land. And
what does he want with more land ?
\t hy, he wishes to raise more corn—
to feed more hogs—to buy more land
—to raise more corn—to" feed more
hogs—and in this circle be moves un
til the Almighty slops his hoggish
proceedings."
Here is a wonderful difference. Part
of it is evidently due to the animal
j itself, but without any doubt the
2,005-pound animal would have been
more profitable a year earlier than at
the end of 1,197 days. The enor
mous weight of 3,125 pounds even is
produced at a comparative loss,
while the 11-year-old boasts had
"cafcn their heads off" many years
before. These were cows and, of
course, may have paid their way as
breeders, but It exemplifies the prin
ciple thst two years a beef ani
mal loses money.
OKE cock is ample for a yard of
fifty hens, and it> far better than more.
The eggs will not fail to product)
