Let | communication* be timely, and be eiire that | they are brief and welt pointed. I Practical Farm Topioa I EXPENSE or WORK HORSES —The \ ex|>ensc of keeping work liorn-i is , one of the heavy items of the farm t er'a outlay. Prudence would seem to , dictate, therefore, that a team should ( never remain Idle. Busmena men of | various occupations in towns and cities, who own work horses, would i lie considered sn improvident class it they allowed their stock to stand in | the stall halt the time and "eat their hesds off," as the saving runs. Is the ! farmer in a lielter condition to en dure this drain? Would a farmer think of laiardirig a lalioror and si low him to sit in the harn or kitchen for a week at a time? There is hardly a day in the year when a team cannot profitably lie employed in j ; some way, and it should he the care of the farmer to gel all the work pos- , aihle out of such expensive servants. The Xatumal Live Stock Journal mikes some (icrlincnt suggestions on | this (mint, and answers some of the , | excuses msde by farmers for the idle- , ness of teams. It is not true that I learns will wesr longer and remain ( sound and heslty to greater age if kept in the stable for long periods , without work. Regular ami steady 1 exercise, with judicious feeding, is most favorable to long usefulness. It may I* true that an idle team can tie ! winteied more cheaply and without grain, hut the labor would tie worth i much more than the cost of the grain j saved, and the team would be much i more capable ol doing full wotk in jtie spring if kept seasonably active j and wrll-fed through the winter. The j food of a team represents a large | fraction of the production of small | ?srm", and ttie proper employment of the lime and strength of the team is i subject which evt-rv (ofw.crd-hiok I mg farmer should carefully consider. ! L*i TTBH IN CROCKS..—A correspoo j •ut who write- to the ffural Seu Voter (or an explanation of the un ~lmvit fact that butler made from leraey cows ls*l summer and packed •aretully in Die gallon crocks is now j feted from its original golden yel low. and smells and tastes like tal- I low, receives some instruction which -hould be generally heeded. Other 'miter makers who hare put their trust ID jars and crocks hare taken I up this same lamentation, for, m truth, these are the most unworthy of | butter packers. It they are perfectly glued, that is,covered with a vitreous costing so thick and bard that the salt and acid and fat of the butter ' ' will not ent through it, the content ie safe. Hut the enamel is usually thin.' and whenever it ia oracked or eaten through the butter is expoeed to a porus clay surface. Clay is an excel lent absorbent and deodorizer, and it will lake away tbs flavor of the butter as readily as it will absorb offensive odors. It will toak up the oiain like a sponge—and with the olein goes the oolor partly— leaving that portion next the clay bleached almoat white. If anyone will try the experiment of dropping a little oil upon the raw aorface of a crack he will be aurprieed at the rap idity witb which it vanishes, and be need not be surprised afterward if butter packed in a Jar of Ibis sort soon becomes tasteless. EITHER tea or coffee long boiler), drives aroma into the air, sod pleases the noalrita, but disappoints the pal ate. A good way is to scald like tee, clear with tablespoon full of cold wa ter and let it keep hot ten minntee or more, but never boil it Tea ie best drank two minutes after eoalding.

Market Gardening Increased sit- ntion is h<ing given to this hisncli of husbandry, and it < hss proved profitable to nearly all who have engaged in it. There is ex* < eeptlonal years when some crops are I short or fail altogether, hut where one understands the business and is < not too far from a good market, sue- i cess may be expected. This kind of ( farming requires a larger outlay for , 'plant" than common farming. Glass, , houses, or glass 'or hot-beds, must fie provided, and Increased capital will ( lie required for dressing to lie sup- , plied to the land, for two or three ero| a year, and good produce for the inaiket means very heavy manur ing. We have heard of one case where a man only cultivate forty aciea, and yet annually uses one thousand cords of manure, at an ex pense of about seven thousand dol lars. In other wsys than those we have ! mentioned, capital will need to lie employ ed, so that no one with quite limited means can successfully en unge largely in this business. It is true, there sre cases where men have commenced with small means and wot kid up, and it is possible |ierhaps to do it, but the rn-jority of those j who attempted it would tie likely to fail under such circumstances. This j business requires brains and much hard wi.ik as well as capital. It is not like ordinary country farming, in that there is really little or no leisure time, winter or summer, rsin or shine. When one is successful the profits are good. Some adopt certain s|<ecial- j ties adapted to their soil or location. ' snd so make more money* than they I would to grow a large j variety of j crops. In selecting land fur a market farm, one should have in view somewhat the kind of crops he wishes to raise. I f he wishes to rai&e celery, he must I have moist land naturally, or that, which can lie irrigated. Oilier crops may require |ieculiar soil. Glass is ' used much more than formerly. With , out donbt, there sre single vegetable I growers in the vicinity of Ibiston who have more glass employed in their business than could have Is en j found twenty years ago with all the j farmers of the whole town and per- j haps of a whole county. The de mand lor lettuce all through the win- ( 1 tcr and for forced cucumber has in creased immensely, ami these two ' crops stone require s large amount ot glass and Isbor. The market for early grown and fine vegetables ia constantly increasing, so that ooe need have no fear in entering upon the business that there will not al ; way a be a ready sale. Young men. 1 whose tastes lend them in this direc | lion and who are able to command the necessary capital, bould look carefully into this matter, and if they decide to enter upon the busineaa study the best methods and reaolve to produce only the very best crop* ; | and they will be quite sure to reap satisfactory returns. | Gxist may be picked, aays the Farm Journal , two or three tiroes dor in the summer. The time to piek ia j when the feathers are ripe. This can , be learned by plucking a few. If they come out eaaily and the quills are clear they are ripe, aa it is called. If they pull hard and the quills are Oiled with a bloody fluid, tbey must be left a litUe longer. In picking take only a few feathers between the thumb aod linger and give a abort quick jerk downward. Practice will give the knack of picking eaaily and rapidly. Under each wing will be found a bunch of rather long and coarse feathers. These support the singe and moat not be plucked. Be fore beginning operations it ia pru dent to draw an obi cotton stocking over the head of the goose. IT ia said to be n good plan to barn a little sulphur in the cellar oc casionally. The fames sweeten the air and kill the germs wbioh taint the butter, meat and other provisions, and will do no barm in a sanitary way. W HEM your grandfather left a few husk* on each ear, and then braided all together and bung them in a gran* try or attic where they would be kept dry and eafe from rate and alee, they adopted as good a plan ae ever has been discovered for keeping seed Hit, Feeding Ewes in Winter. In growing market land*, the feed er should remember the lamb meat he sustain* d on the food eaten by it* dam, ami ahe must eat enough for two. Tills consideration shop* her food must lie liberal and of good quality. The lamb should increase in weight at least one half pound per day if growing for market, and thin alone requires a fair ration to pro duce ; and there, feeders moat deal with ewes' suckling lambs with a lib eral hand. The ewe must produce a profitable fleece beside growing her lamb and k*eping up her own flesh- NVe have produced roost satisfactory results in feeding ewes upon the fo|. lowing combined ration : Ten bush els of oats, nine bushels of corm with one of flaxseed, all ground to. gether into fine meal, and then mix ed, at the lime of feeding, with one half wheal middlings. Each ewe bad of this one and a half pound* per day, with about the same weight of fine-cut hay. This was all eaten clean. Hut the hay is not necessary, equal gain can fie marie on straw, and if the straw is cut *hrl sll the bet ter. A good shelter is supposed in this esse, else such growth on lambs as we have mentioned cannot lie rnsde on such ration, nor perhaps on any ration, in cold weather. This small amount of flsxaeed has a re markable effect in modifying the healing quality of corn. It keeps the bowels in a healthy, activeeondi j lion, and prevent* all danger of gar. ! get in the ewe. A TELEPHONE FOE FARMERS —To ' makeagoudand serviceable telephone J from one farmhouse to another, onfy ■ requires enough wire and two cigar boxes. First, select your boxes and , make a hole about half an inch in I diameter in the center of the b atom * I of each, and then place one in each of 1 the bouses you with to connect; then gel five |Kiunds of common iron stove pi|>e wire, make a loop in one end i and put it through the hole in your j cigar box and fasten it with s nail ; , then draw it tight to the other Ufa. supporting it, when necessary, with a j stout cord. You can easily run your line into the bouse by boring a hole through the glass. Support your boxea with slat* nailed acroaa the j window, and your telephone ia com plete. The writer has one that is 200 yards long, and cost forty-five cents, that will carry music when the organ is played thirty feet away in another room —.4 mertm n Farmer. LATE MODLTINO.— Fowls that moult late are especially liable to contract diseases such aa roup. The older a fowl is the Ister it moults. When this period arrives they be come reduced in flesh, lose their feathers and appetite, and need ton ics and stimulant*. Warm masbre, savored with pepper, salt and consid erable grease, give tone to the failing , appetite and encourage • steady growth. A plentiful supply of ani mal food ia also good. Iron in the drink is of service, but do not dose too much ; only sufficient to even the failing appetite.
