A young colt should be taught to eat
food wheu a month old. Tho mare
should, of course, receive extra food to
cnablj her to nurse tho colt well,
and bran and linseed mash once a day
will largely increase the milk. The best
place for a mire with a colt is in a loose
box stall, and as soon as the coutidence
of the colt is gained and it may bu han
dled, a little bran and crushed oats, with
a piuct of salt added, may be given to it
in the hand. After two or three days it
will look for it and follow its owner for
it. Then a small shallow box U nailed
to tho side of the stall and the food is
placed in it for the colt. A few ouuecs
a day is sufficient nt first, but at three
months old the colt should be eating two
pounds n day. After this it will eat
whole oats, but some brau should still be
given, as it contains all the elements of
growth for a young animal. Neio Yori

There is nothing gained by cutting
upland grass too close. Some farmers
mow their meadows as close as possiblo,
mid make the turf look as if it had been
shaved with a razor. Of all grasses
timothy probably suffers the most from
too close moving. It should not be cut
below the first joint, and better still
above the second. When cut through
the bulb, or too near it, the plaut is
often killed. The meadow will start
much quicker if tho grass is cut ubout
two or three inches high than wheu be
low that height, and the pasturage which
"v'llllje gained will much more thau bal
ance for the extra amount of hay of
doubtful quality that is obtained by closo
mowing. Finer grass cau be cut lower
than coarse Ones, and lowland meadows
suffer but very little from being cut
close, and possibly benefited, as the sun
can thereby rearh the ground and dry out
the excess of moisture. Our object in
this note is to speak against the close
cutting of upland meadows, especially
timothy, wheu thereby tho roots are uu

body of it should be of cast-iron, seven
teen inches long, round, four and one
half inches diameter at upper end and
tapering to a point at tho other. A hole
for tho handle should be in tho largo
end, two and one-half inches at its open

inches deep. Any man cau make a pat
tern and get tho casting at any fouudry.
The handle can be made of any hard
wood, driven in and made of size to be
easy to handle. Such a tool cau be used
with success in all kinds of soil, even iu
quite stony land. With an outfit con
sisting of a punch, a heavy maul, and a
short-logged stool to stand on to drive

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Wage war on weeds now.
Cleau out the fence corners now.
Crowd corn cultivation continually.
Iteduco tho number of feuccs on your
farm.
Felices on a farm like corners in a
house aro what cost.
II list? your own dairy stock ; there are
many advantages in it.
The fertilizer applied to any crop is
never all taken up by it.
Better have grass than weeds along tho
roads through your farm.
Always cut away all 3ead wood. It
may be done at any timo.
When you feed, do vou know tho
weight of a forkful of hay?
Drag the potatoes before high enough
to cultivnte with cultivator. -
Planting on poverty-stricken soil is
like fishing in barren waters.
No cow that is kept all tho whilo in
doors can be perfectly happy.
The farmer can grow vegetables
cheaper than ho can buy them.
Clover, corn and skimmed milk will
grow pigs aud make nice pork.
The clematis provides a handsome
climber for arbors and verandas.
Try on your own farm to make home
production overbalance home consump

Tho surest way to improvement of
stock is by tho introduction of improved
blood.
Remember that in ordinarv rrooil anil
the best crop of potatoes is gained with
nat culture.
If you do not get nil the manure out,
pile it up where it will not leech or tire
fang any this summer.
To save radishes from tho attacks ot
tho fly spriuklo tho leaves with soot ot

To know what to feed saves the pocket-

American Garden calls attention to the
Merkel, a near rod raspberry, wholly dis
tinct from all othci varieties aud possess
ing several valuablo qualities.
Farmers do not use the harrow
enough. Keep it in the corn field from
the time the corn is planted till you can
use the cultivator to advantage.
Ducks need looking after frequently
during the day as tbey are apt to get on
their backs, and in this position they aro
entirely helpless and will dio unless
turned on their feet.
The crab apples are both ornamental
and useful, and may justly claim a place
in ornamental gardening. The single
and double flowering varieties from China
and Japan are splendid in flower.
In many cases it will be a good plan
to let the turkey hens batch out tho
second laying of eggs. The woathcr
being warmer and more settled there is
less danger of loss than with the earlier
brood.
In sending poultry to market remem
ber that sir.e aad condition count for
more than color or shade in skin. Live
and dressed poultry sell by weight, and
tho price per pound is often determined
by the condition.
As soon as harvest begins is the time
to commence saving feed for the poul
try during the winter. With a little
care a good supply of feed can be ob
tained at a low cost and a good variety
bo secured.
Mr. W. C. Barry tells that Mme.
Georges Bruant is ono of the hardiest
roses in his collection. Itcame through
the past winter without being injured in
the least. Bo said the Rural New Yorker
a month ago. So said Mr. Falconer.
At this time many chicks die In the
shell because of too rapid evaporation
during incubation. Putting a sod under
the eggs at the beginning or sprinkling
the eggs with water the day before the
are to hatch will help, to give better re
sults. Cholera is always to be dreaded dur
ing the summer. It is easier to prevent
than to cure, and all necessary
pains should be taken to keep the
fowls in good health. A sick fowl
goucrally eosti more to cure than it is
worth.
On tho farm a general purpose fowl
will be the most satisfactory ono that
will lay well. The hous make good
mothers and the matured fowls are good
for the tublo. Special breeds are best
for those who make a specialty of the
business.
Good aud Bad Tea.
"Not one man in a thousand knows
good tea from bad," said an old-time
drummer. "Good tea is always bitter,
and folks who don't like bitter tea should
driuk something else. The impression
prevails iu some sources that it is the
coloring matter that causes the bitter
flavor, but it 's uothing of the kind.
Coloring is very seldom resorted to now
adays, aud the idea of Prussian blue being
used to make the green more striking is
absurd. Black tea is the most dangerous
iu this respect, but green is generally the
natural tint. That green tea is more
bitter than black is because the former
is plucked when as its prime, while the
latter is damaged in preparing for the
market. St. Louis is a good tea city,
aud the grudo of tea sold here is above
the average." St. Loui Star-Sayingt.

Why It I NtwwarT to Afinitariit Milk
Tho dairyman who -was arrested nnd
fined a few days ago for violation of ths
ordinnnco regarding watered milk, made
a statement to a representative ol tho
Timet-Democrat tending to show that
any question has at least two sides. Ho
admitted tlmt his milk was watered, but
stated as a justification, therefor, that
dilution was necessnry in otdef to trans
port it in a mercliantablo condition over
tho rough 'streets of tho city during tho
warm weather. Tho unevenness of many
thoroughfares in nnd beyond tho busi
ncss portion of tho city had tho olTcct.lie
said, of "churning" puro milk. Iu this
condition it becamo unsalable, so that
dairymen were compelled to adopt somo
"method of preserving tho lacteal fluid iu
a stato as near "fresh" as possible.
Hence, to ten gallons of fresh milk ho
had applied one gallon of water and a
tablespoon fill of salt. For this ho was
arrested ond fined.
On the other hand, It was impossible,
ho said, for tho American dalrymon to
compeU with tho Gascon, whoso milk
Was not only unclean, but absolutely
Impure. Bo fur as lie (the speaker) was
concerned ho would gladly do anything
or comply with any law or rogulation
that might be passed concerning tho in
ternal management or arrangement of
dairies; and if any harmless chemical
'could bo devised by the Board of Health
to overcome or ncutralir.o tho effects ol
Uio'hummg" process of fresh milk while
in course of delivery to customers, ho
would bo mora than willing to adopt it
in connection with his business. Water
was put in his milk, not to defraud cus
tomers, but simply to prevent it turning
into butter. Neie Orleini I'imet-DemO'

orders peculiar to women
leave their mark. You needn't

your rescue as no other medi-'

It is a poAjicrful, restorative

your face and figure but adds
