Kindness to Cows.
It is important that dairy stock,
froth the young calf to the old cow
tho. is being fed for beet, should be
handled and treated kindly. If a calf
is :handled roughly, and becomes
wild' and vicious thereby. when it be
comes -a , cow you may expect the
same; but if handled carefully and
treated with kindness, when , grown
up she will be mild and 'gentle. It,
may not be so, but in general
it is. There have been many cows
spoiled by the y person having the
careand milking , them,,. whipping or
frightening them, whenever they
come in his way,-or if, when milking.
a cow hoists her foot or kicks (which
Is generally caused by pain), such a
fellow stops milking and, commences
whipping, or worse, kicking the cow,
and she becomes enraged, - holds up,
her milk, kicks back, and is_finally
ruined. Never whip a cow for kick
ing, if she does kick the milk pail
otitof your hand and sometimes up
set and knock , you, but be kind rand
gentle with her, and milk her Lout
with as little excitement as possible;
and if she gets over her kicking pro
pensity it will be by mild and not by
harsh treatment. Never whip a cow
because she kicks, for it will do no
good, but it will do a great deal of
harm.
Lice . on Stock.
A umbel of letters ask for reme
dies for lousy stock. Vermin of
some kind very frequently infest do
gstic animals ; they are • most fre
ently of the louse type; small par
aSitic animals that must be removed
by the application of some insecti
cide. A
,number of substances have
been used to a greater or less extent,
of which a few are mentioned below :
One pound of tobacco and six ounces
of borax boiled in two quarts of wa
ter, to which soft soap enough is
added:to make a -thick paste, has
proved a good vermin Brave. mix
ture of carbonic acid and soft soap
in the proportion of one to four
makes a 'compound easy to • apply
and very effectual. Shortly after,
the parts to which the soap mixture
has been applied Should be washed
with pure water and anon-drying oil
rubbed on. Oil- of turpentine: and
lard oil, equal parts, with a little car
bolic acid; is, perhaps, the mosVon
venient mixture to make, and effect.-
ual in its application. Animals that
are effected with vermin need bette r ,
care and higher feeding in order to
;overcome the drain that those pars
-sites make upon'the system,Amer
ican Agricunurist.
Training a Heifer to Milk.
Cows usually become addicted to
kicking when heifers froin being
milked by abusive milkers. An old
cow neyer becomei a kicker unless
abused. Instead of cows being averse
to being milked when giving a large
quantity, it is always the re*erse
When pasturage is ,good and cows
come home.at night with udders dis
tended with milk, they seem grateful
to hatie it removed.
ei• for the first time requires patience,
for, they will almost invariably kick.
In such a case put a broad Strip
around her body, just in front Of the
udder, and buckle it up moderately
tight,•and as soon as she` . gets , quiet,
(for she may dance-around a little at
first), take your pail, sit down atid
get to milking, for she is as helpless
as a kitten., DO not attempt la use
a rope instead of a strap, for it will
iot answer. A few applications of
the strap, with plenty of patio:kg and
kindness, will cure the • m9st "obsti
nate ease. .
•Wolt, Teeth in• Horses.
•
The so-caned wolf teeth are in
themselves harmless enough, yet the
popular prejudice has foundation
which it would be well for horsemen
not tikignore. Most diseases of the
eye occur at that period of life when
the milk-teeth are being most rapid
ly shed, and- the permanent teeth are
coming up, ' , To suppose that a horse
suffers nothing in cutting his teeth
is a gre : at mnistake,aa is shown , by
the frequently Blow and painful,mas
tication "of fixid occasionally in a
haltchewed condition', and by the
heat, redness , Ind swelling of the pal
ate and gums. That red, swollen
and tender state of. the roof of the
mouth behind .the front teeth, famil
iarly known as ' 4 limpas," is but an
'indication of this teething trouble;
and in not a few instances - it renders
the animal feverish, weak and, by
virtue of the general congestion of
'the bead, strongly predisposed to in.
liammation of the eyes. The wolf
teeth are in the mouth during the
pester part of this period) of teeth
ing, and are usually shed towards its
completion; so that once it is hinted
that_these are the cam of the trou
ble with the eyes, thwowner, looking e
into the mouth; seems to find ample
confirmation of the statement. NThe
wolf teeth are; however, the most
harmless In the mouth, having long
ago reached their full development,
and.are but slightly inserted in their

A Wet cellar for Apples.
One of the. Conditions which has
long been considered necessary for
keeping; *triples is dryness. This,
however,is now disputed by many
of. the argest fruit-growers in the.
country, among whom Irving V:. .
COok, the leading orchardist, of Gen;: -
esee County, gives his opinion in the
New York Tribune, as follows : -
" In view of the constantly increas
ing production ,of apples, and the
remunerative prices At which those •
kept longest•are sold, it is of vast
importance that we practice the best ,
known methods of picking, packing
and storing. In this matter many .
pet.theories are advanced directly in,
conflict with thaw; of others. For
instance, a recent correspondent
states that i among the- , re
essentials for
keeping apples is dry cellar with -
cement bottom. This is directly op
posite the experience of all .fruit deal
ers
_with whom' I - am",,acquainted,
among them two from West Virgin
ia, who handle
. thousands of barrels '
annually. . One of them remarked
when inspecting my - cellars that
whenever he entered a cellar and was
compelled to walk on boardsto-keep
out of the water, (as was the case in
mine,) he was sure to find .:the fruit
in, ood condition, providing, of
course, that - the temperature had -
been kept as near the _freezing point
as possible 'without encountering it.
Another large orchardist, OliveE f C.
Chapin, of East Bloomfield, N. 'D., =
rather startled the 'members of the
Western New York Ilorticultreall
Society by averring before themOmi
a recent occasion; that apples in his
cellar kept just as good over a cistern"
,o 1 water es in the dryer parts of it.
• Now, both of these gentlemen are en
thusiastic in their theories. Are they
correct? Aci an experimer.t, in the
fall of 1879 I made selections of the
Northern Spy' nd TelloW
handled each . specimen \.carefully,
wrapped them -separately- hr-paper,
and stored .them in my cellar, where,
-(owing to the springy nature of •
the bottoin,) water settled on por
tions of it during 'the; spring , months..•
The'result was that we liaa . eamples
of the . Spy,in a good state of , preser,
vation as Lite its July; and of the
Bellflower till June. Taking in con
sideration Abe: fact that neither • of
those varieties 'are classed as long_
keepers, they being generally termed
" holliday fruit," I am fullylconviiie
ed that by careful and judicious
handling, and observing all the other
conditions fayorable for ' keeping
fruit, dampness, or in other words a
wet cellar, is not detrimental to the
king keeping of fruit." • -
Meal and Grain ,for Breeding
Stocic.
Forcing food is not necessary for
breeding animals, and a great deal is
worse than wasted. Especially is
this the case when cornmeal or grain -
is profusely red, and the animals ate
so confined in sheds or yards as. to
take *ery . little exercise. If roots
are not grown, and there is no old
pasture lot on which sheep or cows
can run for a few hours by day, or .
the climate is too severe in winter to
admit of any ranging around, hdy
made from grass; cut while young,
and tender would only be required.
If this is not to be had, and the for
age is dried-up hay from grass cut ,
when dead-ripe, some oil-cake would
be the best help. It ris a pity' the
farmers of.the United-States do not
use all this exceedingly valuable
food• instead of' its going over the
ocean to England tole sold to the
tenant — . farmers there. - One great
cause for this exßortation is the
grasping covetousness of middlemen,
who buy of the manufacturers at a
little over $3O per ton for the best
and charge more than fifty per cent.
retail, so that the farmers across the
Atlantic pay less for it than those
who git it here who get it in small
quantities. Another evil is the
irinding it into dust and adulterai.
ing, which the English escape, as
they always purchase theirs in the'
cakes and crack it up themselves.
Fattening Hogs,
• Those farmers who haN; not alrea
dy put up their hogs for fattening
should lose no time in doing
so; it
being ' a well . establisted fact that
hogs fatten much more readily in
mild weather than when_ extremely
cold.. E ery—pound of flesh made
now will cost at least - a fourth less
than that made in midwinter. A.`
mer"often puts his fattening hogt; in
an 'Open pen, exposed to all kinds of
.weather, but if he but understood
how much more they will gain in a
