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. Not a
little passes through tl, bowel*, thus
robbing the 11-MICS of their due.
hxposurc of the roll to inclement
weather while yet of tender age en
ft . hies digestion, and interrupts Up
growth. No amount of j i-hing, so
far as the feed is coin ame I. will

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.—
