SUGAR FOR HORSES, Most horses are like children, ex- otedingly fond of sugar, and indulg- | ing them in it will soon familiarize them with the giver, and the petting will teach them to obey his will read ily. The sugar is fattening, and will give them shining coats, and also free the stomach from any worms. A few lumps of sugar from the hands of the master will thus benefit the animal in every way. —New York World, SEPARATOR n & Western farmers’ institute Pro fefsor Babcock expresses himself ongly in favor of separator milk as making a better cheese and one likely to hold a good flavor longer than did cheese made from milk not put through this process. The cream and milk are run together through a sieve after sep- aratiug so as to mix it thoroughly, but there are certain offensive matters that come out of the separating that can be kept distinct from the cream. These are trifling in amount, but when set to work by the rennet their effect after two or three months to de- stroy the flavor of the cheese. Up to that time cheese from whole milk and that which has been put through the saparator cannot be distinguished, Bdston Cultivator, MILK FOR CHEESE, is DISEASE OF FOWLS. Hens are subject to several diseases, but mostly those of the throat and the intestines. The first class is dne to exposure to cold and damp, or to con tagion. The latter is the result of bad feeding and indigestion. The most prevalent of the first class of diseases is one known roup, which is very similar to the human diphtheria, and, like that, exceedingly contagious. It appears as a thick adherent muneus or cheesy matter in the throat and mouth, stopping the breathing and making the swallowing difficult. and HN The head swells, of course the birds stop eating remedy for this disease is to wash the mouth clean with warm vinegar and drop a pinch of powdered chlorate of potash in the throat. The food should be soft, and a little hyposul- phate of soda should be dissolved in thegdrinking water. Excessive warmth is not desirable for fowls in the win- ter, only such as will keep the tem peratare st night of not less than fifty degrees.

He can make them pny very well if he will keep them un til tuey are four or five years old, and then sell, taking care in the meantime to break them well, so as to get work enough out of them to pay for their keep. A horse that given good care so as to make a steady growth and development from the time he was foaled ought to be broken to light work when past two years old, taking care that only light work is given him not too of that, Then, whenever a good fair price e be realized for them, Are needed on the farm, more to you than the wil] be best to With good young mare the case 1s different The the young mares str the reason why they should be kept on the A » Re } f best of his animals of has been and much an they are wortl offered, it unless and price sell, , however, better are the farm for breeding. afford to sell the kind, to good advantage improving his stock. By mating a full blooded sire to carefully selected mares, good grade colts may be secured. Then if in turn the very best of these grade mares are selected and again mated to pure-bred stallions a still further im. provement is made. By keeping the best and breeding in this way, selling all that are needed on the farm, a considerable improvement in quality of the horses can be made.
