K HMIII5U FARM IMPLEMENTS. . . The lcogltt of time that farm imple ments can be made to do good service depends largely upon the management given. It is important to adjust and man go well when in use, and it is cqinlly important to store them properly under shelter when not in use. f Before storing it is best to clean thor oughly both tho wood and iron ptirts. If necessary tho woodwork should bo well painted with au oil paint. Linseed oil and ochrt, vermillion or Spanish brown will make a good paint for this purpose. The dirt and grease should all bo cleaned off the iron or working parts, then a coat of paint will prevent the iron or steel parts from rusting, and will not only be a help in preserving from injury, but will 'also lessen the work necessary to put them in condition for use in tho spring. If the shed has not a good floorboards should be put under the wheels or all parts that rest on the ground. It is im portant to have the roof tight so that tho machinery will keep dry. A little care in properly storing tho machinery under shelter will not only make it last longer, but better and easier work can thus be done with it when inuso. St. LtuU Re public. i . ' CRIB BITING HORSES. Crib biting in horses Is sometimes an acquired habit, and colts will learn it from older animals with whom they aro associated in '.he stable or field. Horses that are kept much in the stable without active exercise will sometimes for mere amusement bite the stall or mauger, and follow it up from day uutil it becomes a habit very difficult to break up. In other cases it is due to indigestion, the result of poor food, water, or over feed ing without sufficient exercise; in fact, excesses of any kind may lead to indi gestion and crib biting, and thence to the serious vice of wind sucking. A confirmed cribber is nearly always a in 1 tucker, and this leads to digestive disor ders and loss of flesh and health. For treatment cover all the woodwork within reach of the horse when in stable with sheet iron and in a way to prevent him from getting hold of it with his teeth. Place a lump of rock salt in his manger, or where he can reach and lick it as often or as much as he chooses. In another box place a lump of whito chalk, and then sprinkle ill the hay and oats given with water or a little magnesia and water. The animal should also have plenty of exercise, and il he has to stand in the table for a day or two at a timo put on a muzzle after he has eaten his ration ; but the constant supply of salt und chalk will usually effect a cure without the uso of other remedies and preventives. 2ftu Turk Sun. i . t HARVESTING APPLES. ' The apple is the great, the important fruit of this country, yet it is a fruit that is shamefully abused. Although tho apple harvest commences in simmer the harvesting of tho summer and autumn crops is but like the skirmishing thut preceds the Jfreat pitched b.tttlo com pared to that of harvesting the winter fruit. Apple growers are a littlo afraid to suffer their fruit to hang until fully grown by reason of the danger of their being blown off by liiyu, autumnal winds. Apples increase very much in sizo after mauy suppose that they are fully grown. The orchard ist having many apples to pick should be amply provided with lad ders, both self-supporting and those which lean against tho brandies, and with suitable baskets, hooks and small ropes to let dowu tho haudled baskets from tho tree. Tho fruit should bo picked and placed, not dropped, in the boskets, und great cure should be exer cised in pouring iuto larger baskets or into barrels not to bruise the fruit. If the apples are to be sorted aud barrelled immediately, it is well to have a canvas table, one end lower and uarrower tlijiu the other, with a sharp, conscientious man to do the aswrtiug. It is best pol icy to muk, at leuit, three classes ot fruit, first, seeoml and third, or cull;ns. The first should be so sound. 1 irs-o an i fair as to command extra price. The Second should be free from bruises or rotten spots, but with some imperfec tions, such as gnarly spots, scab spots and a wonuhole or two. The third should iuilude wiwh'nlls, somewhat bruised, yet suitable for evaporating. Iu barrelling, the fruit sliaulil be lowered iuto the barrel iu (lie basket before it is emptied. Time is no objection to forc ing the eud luyers, provided those layers are fair representations of the fruit throughout the barrels, but do not com mit the fully of pluciug lur;;u, fair apples S on the ends and small Imperfect ones In the middle. If you do, be sure your sin will find you out, and if it failed to ex pose yon to rt"-ers, it would lower yoif own self-respect. It is a good plan to press in the head before moving the barrel, whether to the market, barn or fruit house, for to move them unheaded is to expose them to shaking and bruising. If stored awbilo before marketing have the store room as cool and uniform in temperature as pos sible, and remove tho heads so that the moisture caused by the process of "sweat-Ing,"so-callod,may evaporate. Themois ture is caused by the cooler fruit con densing tho vapor in tho surrounding atmosphere. SlctropolitM and Rural Home. FARM AND GARDRft NOTR9. How to put a horse "on his mottle:'' Shoe him. What is your reason for not keeping a few sheep I You can't make a profit with a crowded yard. You can't kocp fowls thrifty without green food of some kind. Mud applied soon to a bee-sting is said to afford Instant relief. Millet seed makes a good feed for young poultry. Usually at this time it can be bought cheap. A little care for the comfort of the stock hot, dry days will indirectly be money in your pocket. One test of a man's fitness for profit ably conducting a farm is his ability to properly manuge his hired holp. If going on a long drive do not forget that water is acceptable to the horse "betweon meals"' in hot weather. One may repel striped beetles from melon and cucumber vines by dusting tho moist plants with air-slaked iimo. It's a bad idea to lock tho stablo door after tho horse is stolen. What if tho thief should repent and bring back the horse. How about those winter Iambs you mean to turn oil early next spring. Now is the time for coupling if you wish the best prices. The sheep is a dainty feeder and cleanly in all its habits. It cannot sub sist on filth, nor can it long survivo in filthy quarters. Do not expect too many eggs. Occa sionally a hen will bo found that will lay a great number of eggs, but this 'is the exception rather than tho rule. Do apples pay? No, as tho masses treat their orchards; yes, abundantly, when given anything like tho intelligent caro that makes any other farm crop pay. While Leghorns aro the best winter layer3it is necessary to provide them with comfortable quarters if they are kept laying; this should be arranged for sow. Poultry like fruit of all kinds, espec ially apples, which at this season can nearly always be fed to a good advan tage when more or less is going to waste. Pullets that are expected to famish oggs during the wiuter must be reasona bly well matured by this time; late maturing pullets will not lay until spring. Of tho Cochins, the partridge is the best for layers, tho buffs the best table fowls, followed by the whites and blacks; one advantage they all have is their size. There is no advantage in feeding tur keys for an extra lare size. Medium fowls in good condition bring the bost prices per pound, and when there Is an overstock sell the more readily. Every farmer should have the conven ience of an icehouse. The bost way is for a few neighbors to join and build, fill, and use tho same. Ice in summor is a cheap almost necessary luxury. It docs not pay to allow the hons to sit now; break them up at the start. Late hatched chickens rarely provo ' profitable unless we accept bantams. i This month will do very well for them. Leghorns, Wyandottes and light Brah mos are all good steady layers ; Minorcos, Spanish and Houdans lay the largest egs; Plymouth Hocks are good layers. Laushana are among the best wiuter layers. Keep the March and early April pul lets for laying. If given comfortable quarters they will lay regularly tho greater part of the winter. Late hatched pullets will rarely lay before spring. If you have tried alfalfa (lucern) and failed, try it again on a new plan. Put out only a little, sow in rows and keep clean by hoeing, until it has mado good start. After that it will take caie of itself. Gather up and store the sorghum bladesrwithout threshing. Picking off the seed will help to give the fowls ex ercise during the winter, besides supply ing them with a good rutiou store whore it will keep dry. Iron for roofs is objectionable because it expands in heat and contracts by cold, cutting off the nails that hold it down. The reason for the short duration of paper and tur roofs is that the lifo of the tar is destroyed by the sun's rays. A largo proportion of tho poultry sent to market from now on until cold weather will be in a very poor condition, and this is one leadiug cause for low prices. A little better feed and care would greatly improve the quali ty. Yuluo or Small Bird a. While little practically can bo done by man to further the multiplication of t!iu more minute enemies of the locust, much may bo dono according to Dr. O. V.

He says: "These should be pro tected by most stringent laws, firmly carried out, restraining tho wanton de struction too oftcu indulged in by sports tueuand others. Sutno of the States in terested in this question have of late years passed good laws for tho protection of these feathered friends, but the laws are, unfortunately, too often a dead let ter for wunt of enforcement. One of the most cdectual and successful ways of protecting and encourugiug many of tho smaller birds is to oiler a reward for hawks.
