A I, AN- csTi neounty farmer clean ed cff a piece of land and treated part of it with lime and left another part without lime, and after twenty five year- had found the limed part of his field no ls-tter than that where lime had not 1M i n applied. He had therefore con; to the conclusion 'hat a great ileal of mom \ and time had hren wasted on nn article that Iml done no good.' Probably ir that -inn- farmer should give one of his farm hurst, a good feci of oats, ! having the otln r without any, and at , the end of twenty-five d.i>s should find one no Is Iter than the other, In would conclude that "a good deal o' money and time had Ireen wasted" in feeding l.orscs. Improve tho Dairy Btock. It i too often the ense that the owners of common cows get an er roneous impression when their atten tion has been called to the desirabil ity of improving their herds. They arc convinced, perhaps, that it would Ire to their interest to breed up, or rather to improve the character of tiieir herds ; but, thinking that the only way to do this is to purchase outright, they may not feel like going to the expense. Some of the best cows of the country are crosses of our common stock with the improved breeds, and if a man owns a common cow that haa proved herself a valua ble dairy animal be haa excellent en couragement to use her for crossing, It is every msn's duty to breed up. It is throwing away money to keep an inferior animal when we can juat aa well have n better one. Giving You rig Colts n Start. j '• ill nal l.lf fhi' k JwtilPwl, f'hlCMg . Crossing to secure si/.e has done much towards creating certain kinds of horse stock that are greatly larger than the stock t'roui which they orig inated, Ibit this could never have been accomplished had not this breeding for si/.e been praetii ed by men who fed well from tbe start; acting upon the truism that light feeding gives scant growth. While il is not expected that any man will , attempt to scenic a growth of twelve bundled pounds on an animal bred to have only ten hundred and fifty, ' when inututed, still, as stated, the ■ symmetry of such a horse depends largely upon his muM ular growth having been pushed to a reasonable . limit during the whole of his devel oping )cars, including his colthood, , I fiom the beginning. Full muscular ' vigor, ambition, and agility in his movements, cannot be secured unless he; lias been freely nourished and ex en ! ed. The exercise is undeniably •jan impoitant factor; hut hear in I mind always, that the coll will have neithi r muscular tone nor courage to stand up to his , xercise, in the ah s, nee of full rations. It is a common saying that a starveling colt, so Called, grows one ' end one )ear. an I tin other en I the next \ear. < Yit un it is that the insuHi'-iently-f, d colt becomes w.-ak :u his dige-' ion, hence doe- not make the mo-t of the food given.

The old scotch *n\ ing. that"tl.i hi,, 1 got *in at the mouth," while very far from i , ng trui . still | shows (pnte clearly that the Scotch discovered the potent influence ex -1 i r'.< I by food in perfecting the forms of 11omest- animal*.

A Few Fruit Is'ot. H. Why should not the ground lie in .nut. 1 for h| pies as well as for Itoes or corn ' A little windmill, such as some ' ho) s ian maki v. th a jack-knife, will k.-cp birds otit ot a elitrrv tree in c.i*c a tiny hell i* attac lied to it. Water for irrigating strawberries can often la- provided with some cx i p, use and a little energy, and made t i pay a hundred, if not a thousand, per ci nt. during some years. WaU r I is of immense In in fit to berries dur ing a dry sea- m at ripening time. One thing is always to lie said in favor ol MI, dl ftuil culture over large fmits The grower can count, i with di uit care, a'., annual crop, l'tar*, apples, |faelcs. plums, etc.. fail totally every few veai s, but the I- . rii * do not fail one sc.ion in ten ; and win n they fail partially the high er prices make partial or total , amends for the small crop, l.errios, too, can be raised in one year, or ' | less, after planting, but for the large fruits one must wait three or four : yean at least, and when lie happens to git a full crop now and then most uf his rompctitora have the satin. When a man's location for -mall fruit-growing is good he had lietter i utilize it for all il i* worth in pref- I < rente to trying to grow the larger j fruits. How to Dock Lainbis. (V i ..f Prartii-al |*rmrr. The inhumane, savage and destruc tive manner in which lambs are often docked, by catcliing hold of the lamb's tail with one band and slash ing itotfwith a knife in the other, while the little innocent is struggling with all of its strength to get away, thus tearing the lionc of tbe tail half or threc-fourllia of an inch longer than the skin, exposed to the flies and scorching sun lor week# to heal over, if it ever doe# heal, many of them dying from the work of mag got#—-thi# custom, we say, induce# i u# to give a mode far more human# i and safe. The operation requires two per- ] sons. One sitting on a bench should hold the lamb on its hack bet wren iiia knees, the larah'a head towards the person's body. Take hold of the lamb's tail with a thumb and finger 1 of both hand* one ami a half inches i from it# body, draw the akin of the tail as clone to the lamb's body as possible. The other jierson with a sharp pair of toe or pruning shears, cuts oil the tail close to the holder's lingers. This will leave the bone of the three-quarters of an inch shorter than the skin. Then with a little paddle dipped in some pure tar stick the skin above and below '.lie bone together by the tar sticking in the wool. The skin being brought together over the bone soon heals I and as it grows, improves the ap pearance ol the sheep by growing tat. Ihe tar holds the skin together I while healing, and i-> a perfect safe guar 1 against t!i<-. Another way, hut not so good, is to hold the lamb on a block as above described and rut the tad oil by striking oy a chisel with a mallet, and tar as above de i scribed. Cutting Grass for Huy. I WticM. A.i, luiM. It was once a saying among farm -4 ers, and may be so still to some ex tent, Ibat grass ought to Ik; cut as cloe as possible to the ground, for it was so much thicker at the bottom, that an inch there was worth two or more at the top. This may l>c true or not. according to circumstances, and tie- kind and quality of the grass to be cut. If it be the natural growth on the broad meadows of the I orun client, or similar river bottoms, or a vi ry line-stalked variety, like •I une gla.--, or the short growing while clow, tin n an inch at the bast may be worth two at the top. It it is 'I iinothr, orchard, or any -ithi r ( isrse-stalkt 1 grass, or red ' lovt r, then tw o to four inches at the bottom may nt b- worth one at the top, t sj" cially if left standing until p&s-t l blossoming and the seed be gins to form. ' iar-f, rank grasses are usuallv dive sit J (,[ leaves near tLe ground when attaining tlieir full growth; ar. i if they are cut close, the stubs are left - > short a- to l>c no protec tion against thi hot summer sun. II Iry weather follows for a few W(tk-> - il -i juently, it will great!v in in t!ii gra.--. and sometimes kill it. When protection is left by not cutting too close, a fair second growth is ensure 1. which, if not sufficient by autumn, tor rowen or pasture, it will !h- at least a good protection for the root* during winter, and give an arii r start in spring and a better crop in bay ing time. '1 he invention of mowing machines has gain the farmers a great advan tage in harvesting their grass, for they can so -id the bars and cutting knives,tc .of these, aa to cut high or low, as d( sire l. There is a con siderable difference of opinion still existing among farmers as to the last time fr < utting their grass for hay. Some contend, if for milch cows, it should lie cut laeforc the grass begins to blossom, if for other kinds of stock, at the time of fiow ring. while some contend that for horses the seed should lie neailv ri|ic. In order U> settle this point aatisfac- tor il y. it would lie wall for the Agri cultural < ol leges to extend their careful experiment# with the various grasses and clover cut at three to four different stage# of growth. .11 vk is not a good lime to have hen# engaged in the incubating busi nes. It i< too favorable to the breeding of lice. Mill a little of eternal vigilance and ketosene will go far to prevent the evil. Set the ben in a nest box, scald it out first, then rub it will with kerosene, especially the cracks, use clean litter (first scalded) for a neat, and vrdinarialy no lice will appear in three weeks.— PhiJa.
