A KEionnoniiooD RHErHF.im,
The Xcu England Homettcad proposes
ft plan which it claims will "boat tho
dogs and increase tho profits of sheep
husbandry." This is the turning to
gether of sheep from several farms and
hiring a shepherd to tako caro of them.
The (lock is to bo taken from ono pas
ture to another so that onch owner will
furnish his proper portion of the feed.
Under certain conditions, this method
might bo successful, but at the Eust tho
great majority of fanners who keep
cheep, also keep cows, and many of them
pasturo the two classes of animals to
gether. In their case, the plan proposed
would bo impracticable. Besides, we
think most sheep owners would prefer
to keep their own flocks on their own
land and under their own management.

ENSILAGE COn.
Tn the enrly days of ensilage thick
seeding nud early harvesting was the
rule. Later on a reaction against this
practice set in, and, at present, the gen
eral drift of opinion is in favor of com
paratively thin seeding and of allowing
the crop to becomo as mature as possi
ble. Tho argument against the practice
was that, as tho amount of dry matter
contained in a crop of coin iucreascs
very rapidly as tho crop matures, the
practice involved a loss of dry matter.
Against the present practice is the lack
of succulence presented by the fully ma
tured corn. To counteract this losi two
methods suggested theraselvos namely,
thicher teediug, etc. J the u?e of large
growing varieties. Experiments con
ducted lust season nt the Pennsylvania
State College Experiment Station, and
recently reported upon, gave results that

melting together into glass, so that the
potash will not be soluble In water, ana
the plants cannot reach it. Old farmers
know this, and often speak of ashes at
losing their value by being "burned to
death." Upon some soils the lime is
very valuable and perhaps more so than
the potash. And on others the phos
phoric acid is of great importance. This
will in part explain wny. leacnea asncs

the potash ii largoly loached out of it.
But another good result from ashos is
their mechanical effect upon tho soil.

have but little. It will be seen, then,
that it is impossible to tell what price a
fanner can afford to pay for ashes, as we
cannot tell how strong the ashes are, or
how badly his soils needs the carbonic
acid or lime or the potash they may con
tain. Experiment with them upon your
lnnd, and if thej show good results buy
more liberally, and use upon toils and
crops of similar character. At a general
rule, it may bo considered that asnes are
valuable where potash is needed, and
that they do not do as well upon cold

were made upon different lots of fowls
they were fed all they would eat of the
following rations: No. 1, one-third wheat

The following are the conclusions given
Bo far as it is warrantable to draw any
conclusions from a single experiment of
this kind it would scum that:
Chickens fed on an exclusive corn diet

DOW TO COOL OUT A TROTTER.
When tho horsa comes in from his
work rub him all over, from his ears to
bis tail and down to his knees, with
wash as near the temperature of his body
as possible. To make this wash, tako
one part alcohol, two parts pure witch
hazel and three or four times as much
soft water as tho combined alcohol and
witch-hazel. Every muscle should be
rubbed thoroughly. Throw a medium
weight blanket over the horse now, and
let him stand until you have put the
bandages on. Use tho earao wash for
the legs as for the body, but have it
cold.
After putting tho wash on tho legs rub
them well with the palm of tho hand,
always rubbing down, never up. Put
bandages on immediately after rubbiug.
Kub all his heels perfectly dry, with
cleun, dry rags. Caru should be taken
in this, as crocked heels are very stub
born and often lay a horse up for the
season. Throw the blanket up from his
head and scrape out all the wash that re
mains. Most of it will have entered the
pores of the body.
Cover up the shoulders and scrape the
rest of his body; take a clean, dry rag
and rub him ull over lightly, always rub

while walking, scrape him aguin lightly,
after which give him another light rub

FAHM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Don't dog the cows.
Calves fed milk like a drink of water
hot days.
Is thero any shnde in your pasture!
Thero should bo.
A regular time for milking Is more
important than a regular milker.
PrDvido a regular supply of salt for
tho cows. Let them help themselvs.
Cream that stands till there is a green
mould over it can never prduco gilt-edgo
butter.
Kemembcr that the eye often con
demns butter that would bo relished if
put up in ueut packages.
In practice, ono of tho chief uses of
the milk tester ii to mark the unprofit
able cows lor tho butcher.
A scant supply of milk fresh from tbo
cow is a never-failing euro for scours in
calves fed upon skira milk.
If you are a patron of a co-operative
factory cheese or butter insist upon
every patron taking the best of care of
his milk.
A piece of muslin fresh from the bolt
is moro attractive over a paekago of but-'
tcr than a piece of cloth with one or two
buttonholes in it.
If you are selling cream bo sure it is
in good order vhou delivered to tho
driver or at the station, tho insist upon
full payment for it.
Tho early care of tho calf has much to
do with the milking qualities of the cow.
Stunted in early life, the calf can never
make a cow of the best.
If you milk in the stable hot even
ings why not turn a part of the cows
in at a time? It will be more comfort
able for the cows even though you sweat
no less.
Remember, pasturing takes five acros
to each cow for six months; soiling
feeds a cow on one acre for six months;
ensilage feeds a cow on one acre for a
whole year.
Butter makers want the best price to
bo had for the best butter. We cannot
afford anything else. Our labor should
bo skilled, and it should command a
good price.
If you expect to make your cows profit
able during ny time see mac meynave a
cool, dark place to stay during part of
the day, and be sure tuey get plenty 01
pure water.
Do not compel the cows to wade in
mud and slush to their bellies to get a
scant? supply of stagnant water. See that
they have plenty of fresh water that is
easily reached.
Is you are.shippicg n.ilk for retailing
or are delivering it to a factory cool it
to CO degrees or less as soon as possible
after drawing from the cow, and have it
shaded while on the road.
Care in salting the butter will remove
all trouble from "mottling" and pay for
the time in better prices. The remedy
for mottled butter is a second working
after the butter has stood for twelve
hours.
Don't be surprised that you do not

Salmon also makes a very handsome

rather highly and 1111 tho mold with this
and alternate layers of jelly. Turn out

An appetizing dish is mado from any
cold boilod flaky fish. Pick it in flakes,
sprinklo with a few wholo peppers and
cloves, season witn salt ana pepper ana
cover with vinegar. Let it stand overnight.
Salmon salad is hearty and appetizing.
Mix equal parts of flaked salmon and
thin slices of cold boiled potatoes ana let
them stand tor a couple of hours in a
mixture of three tablespoonfuls of salad
oil nnd one of vinegar, with salt, pepper
and a little made mustard.
When about to make ready for the

Qnlck I.nncta and Snnstroke.
Americans In general are noted for tho
habit of fast eating, and New Yorkers In
particular spare but a few minutes for
their midday meal. While this practice
of quick lunches usually ends in somo
form of dysopsia, there is another re
sult far moro serious. Tho best medical
Authorities agree that sunstroke is far
moro frequont after than before noon,
and thero are two good reasons for this.
In tho first place, tho heat is most in
tense during tho early pnrt of tho after
noon; and, secondly, after a meal tho
stomach and other organs of digestion
aro vcrv much concestcd with I
Tho internal organs being cone, i ,
the surface blood vessels Bre rum pant
tively empty and tho function of perspi
ration Is considerably interfered with,
tfunstrock is apt to follow nny interference
with freo perspiration, nnd the process
of digestion Interferes by drawing off tho
blood from tho skin to the stomach.
A light lunch projierly masticated and
slowly eaten has but littlo ellect in dis
turbing tho circulation, but a hasty meal,
bolted and washed down by largo
draughts of water or coffee, necessitates
increased exertion ou the part of tho di
gestive apparatus, and a much larger
supply of blood is needed to do tho
work, ltusiniss men nrO often heiiru to
complain that in the afternoon they have
headache, that they cannot work so
well, and that tho heat seems to affect
them moro. Tho statement is correct;
they do feel tho heat more, nnd tho rea
sou is becauso of tho hurried, half -eaten
lunch taken nt noon. If business men
would only lenrn that this pernicious hab
it of rapid eating, osiiecially in the mid

and makes them liable to sunstroke or
