THE FARM AND GARDEN.
MOTKCTfOIf OF RAT.
The use ot hay caps is complete pro
tection to the hay in case of rain, and
with a sufficient number of these caps the
whole crop may bo left out safely and got
in in fine weather unimpaired by rain.
The caps are made of one and a half yard
squares, which may be water-proofed by
steeping them first in a solution of sugar
of lead, then in one of alum, or by paint
ing them with any water-proof composi
tion. A hole is made in each corner and
a string loop fastens it down to a peg
pushed in the hay to hold it against the
wind. Kan York Timet.
WHAT OATS REQUIRE.
Oats require a long season for growth,
and cool weather; therefore sow them
early, but do not sow on frozen ground
with the expectation that they will sink
down in the mud nnd sow themselves.
This slipshod method will do for the poor
ignorant and wretched (no men more so)
Egyptian "fellahs" who scatter their seed
wheat on the rich mud left by the floods
of the river Nile, but not for an American
farmer sowing oats in the spring. Fof
this crop the land must be thoroughly
well plowed nnd harrowed it should
be plowed in tho fall, in fact and th
seed must be well covered. And this i
to be done as early as possible. Thref
years ago we sowed oats in a warm spell
in Felicuarv but did not cover the seed
deep enough; a hard frost in March
killed nmc-tenths of the plants. 3'eu

COTTED FLEECE.
"Cottcd" fleece in sheep is not con
fined to any breed or country, but is
found among all races, everywhere. This
condition of fleece is caused in ninny
ways, and may be best understood as a
stoppngo in the growth of the wool and
yolk, caused by a sudden change in thf)
environments of the animal, as from good
to poor food in winter, chased by dogst
physical injuries and difficult partu.
rition. It sometimes occurs after a hard
drive on the road, when the animals nre
put in a cool or damp place nnd allowed
to rest; but one of the greatest inciting
causes is plunging jbcin into cold water
It washing-time when they have been
overheated by driving. Thus it may be
lecn that this deterioration of the fleece
results from some sudden adverse dis
turbance, and although the other effects
may speedily pass away, tho fleece is per
manently injured. Breeding ewes nro
most liable to cotted fleece. Flocks in
which this condition is found most
largely are usually those which possess
delicate, constitutions and a lack of
tamina. Where this occurs to sheep
two seasons in succession they should be
weeded out. yew York Tribune,
TRATKTKQ HEIFERS.
The term "breaking" as applied to the
aomcstic animals has an unpleasant sig
nification. It indicates bad management
forcibly remedied. A calf or a colt
should be trained from its birth, and it
hould be gradually led in the way it
ihould go the word "educated" has pre
cisely the same meaning by a constant
progressive course of kind and consid
erate treatment. A heifer calf should be
weaned at its birth. If its natural in
stinctive proclivities nro to be repressed
ana obliterated, this is tho time to begin,
beloro the germs of these have had op
portunity to grow into a habit. Hence a
calf should not be permitted to suck tho
dam and should be taught to drink from
a pail. Have a leather collar strong
enough to hold it, with a ring sewn in it,
and a rope with a snap hook to tie it with
in the pen. Then it should be handled
(brushed isjjctter) quite frequently, un
til it is used to it and makes no resistance
but rather likes it. As it grows older its
ndder and teats should be rubbed and
pulled as if in milking. This not only
makes it docile, but it helps the develop
ment of the rudder nnd increases its
future capacity. A heifer may be brought
to milk in this way beforo it has had a
calf, and instances of this lacteal precocity
are not infrequent where calves are per
mitted to suck each other, although this
Is a great mistake and is provocative of
vicious habits, such as self-sucking and
sucking other cows. When the heifer
has a calf it is already trained, and
breaking, with the discipline of a club,
a boot, or a milking stool, will not be re
quired. American Agriculturist.
nOW TO BEAR YOCKO PIGS.
The following extracts are taken from
a paper read by Dr. 6. II. Oriminell, be
fore the American Poland-China Record
Association :
"There are a great many breeders and
raisers of pigs, and each one has a road
marked out tolerably well, and thinks,
perhaps, that his way is the best.
"Aud now for me to try to tell this
audience of intelligent breeders aud ex
perts how to rear young pigs. First,
quietness about their quarters, as few
visitors as possible outside of persons in
charge, feed for dam for first few days
nothing but a little bran and water, a
nice clean bed of hay, not too much so as
to heat or entangle pigs therein, but
sufficient for comfort, with good sunlight
on warm days, and a good ventilation,
clean troughs and good hygienic surround
ings, with a good grass lot to run iu and
out, pen to be occupied by dam, have
pens and lots so as to admit those of the
same age to the same run.
"Iuerease the sow's rations as the pigs
increase in age, by giving ground outs,
bran and a small portion of oil cake, till
the sow supplies milk for the litter, nevei
feeding any sour swill to sow, as that will
impair the young pigs' digestive organs,
and you will have diarrhoea, white scours
as called, from the deranged condition
by the fermentation of sour swill, through
the sow s milk.
"When the pigs arc large enough, I
commence to encourage them by feeding
in a separate trough, from the dam,
sweet milk, soaked corn in small quunti
ties aud oats, and as soon as they will
take hold of same, I give them a liberal
supply of ground oats, bran, oil cake and
soaked corn, never losing a minute but
to see if they are just loose enough to bo
good heart v eaters ut six weeks old ; by
that time 1 have them learned to do with
out the dam, which I turu out, aud leave
them their old quarters to run in and out
at will; then I feed them just what they
will eat clean from one feeding to the
next, aud increase feed as their appetite
increases and they digest the same, never
allowing their feed to become sour, mix
ing my swill fresh morning and evening
which they relish with an appetite fit for
a king. Always keen appetite good
bowels regular, clean quarter and above
all allow uo constipation iu yourpigu." ,

' There has, from time to time for years,
been attempts made to induce grocery
men and dealers generally, to sell eggs
by weight.but while some have attempted
it, tliey have gradually fallen back into
the old way of selling by the dozen. Tho
housekeeper does not seem to take kindly
to tho plan, nnd prefers to buy the eggs
as she has been accustomed to, getting a
few largo ones nnd some small ones in
the dozen. Hut undoubtedly the just
way is to buy and sell by weight, as In
this way both buyer and seller would get
full value for eggs sud money. It would
also have a tJJncy to stimulate tho
breeding of a class of fowls that would
.lay large eggs, nnd so drive all the lay
'ers of small eggs out of existence. Any
observing person will notice thnVtho lay
'crs of small eggs, like the Hamburgs,

This Book contains 624 Finely Printed Pages of Clear Type on
Excellent Pajper, and is Handsomely yet Serviceably Bound in Olothi
It gives English words with the German equivalents and pronunciation,
and German words with English definitions. If you know a German word
and desire to know its meaning in English, you look in one part of tho
Book ; while if the English word is known and you want to translate it
into German, you look into another part of the Book.
It is invaluable to Germans who are not thoroughly familiar with.
English, or to Americans who wish to learn German. Consider how easily
you can master German with the aid of this Dictionary if a half hour
per day is devoted to study, how much benefit can be deriyed frfl
the knowledge, and hasten to send for this first-class book. " f- "
