CAUB OP IIOHSRS' FRET.
Ono of the niifttukos often mJo by
farmers in thnt of keeping their horsos
Bhoil thnt to work iu tho fiehl dnriug
a portion of tho ycr nt least. Of
courso this sometimes bocomes neeee
sarv, bnt in tho crest majority of
cnoes it is not only uncnlloil for but it
is aetuixlly a himlrsnee to the best
servico the horse is capable of giving.
Everybody knows thnt when a horso
is once shod tue necessity of Keeping
shoos upon his feet grows upon him.
It ia also recognized that a horse enn
do all sorts of farm work just as well
without shocR on as with them, nnd a
critical observer of hordes soon dis
covers thnt farm horses are kept wenr
ing shoes merely from a fancied nnd
mistaken kindness toward thera rather
than from any sound and logical rea
son. If people wero in tue nabit of
giving a little personal attention to
their horRes' feet upon frequent occa
sions, iuHtcad of leaving it all to tho
blacksmith it would be all the better
for tho horses. Nebraska Farmer.
SALT MAKES MILK.
Experiments have recently been
made to ascertain whether tho giving
of salt to dairy cows lias any direct
bearing on the supply of milk, and
the results havo been of a character
which will be surprising to many who
attach little importance to providing
salt for their cattle. Salt they must
havo in some form or another, nnd if
it is supplied to them in suitable quan
tities and ways, thoy will take suffi
cient and no more for their own bene
fit. For about a month, from June
20 to July 18 last year, three cows
were kept without salt and the milk
from each weighed tTice daily from
the 4th to the 18th of Jul 7, when they
gave 454 pounds. From July 13 to
August 1 tbe same cows received four
onnccs of salt each, nnd during thnt
time tho milk showed an increase of
100 pounds, the weight being 564
pounds. From this experiment it ap
pears that there was a considerable
gain, which would pay admirably any
one to keep his stock well supplied
with salt ; aud it may also bo added as
another good custom to follow to keep
plenty of fresh water where it can al
ways be accessible. Connecticut
Farmer.
HOW TO MAKB A WATER VIEADOW.
A water meadow is a level piece of
land on the bank of a stream thnt is
embanked, so as to retnin the wntef
of the stream in freshets, and permit
it to settle and deposit the soil which
it holds in suspension. As the mud
which comes down with the high water
is the washing of the best of tho laud
above, this iuclosod land gathers a
large quantity of valuable soil in the
courso of a few years, and the grass
grown on it yields very abundantly.
In a dry time the water of tho stream
may bo turned on to the meadow by
means of a channel mado further up,
or at a low dam made in the stream
for the purpore, and tho growth of
grass thus greatly increased. If the
land is almost level, tho bank on the
side of the stream and on the lower
limit of the field need not be more
than a foot high. Of course, it is pro
vided with gates to let in the water
nnd discharge it at the lowest point.
It is often the ease that the water thus
turned on to the field is permitted to
flow slowly over it, settling the sus
pended matter as it flows. Land thus
improved has been known to pav nn
interest every year on a valuation of
$1000 an acre. New York Times.
FATTENING rOtXTRY.
The fattening of fowls for market
by means of the process known ns
cramming is practiced to a great ex
tent in certain localities, aud decided
advantages are claimed for it. While
there seems to be a great demand for
what is thought to be a special de
licacy, it may be questioned if such
methods are not productive of objec
tionable results. It is scarcely to be
expected that creatures fed iu the
maimer described in accounts given of
such operations will retain their
health, and come to market iu a per
fectly normal condition. All undue
forcing of tho appetite gives rise to
feverish and unwholesome states, nnd
it seems impossible that meat pre
pared under such circumstances can
be Buituble for food. As a mutter of
fact too much fut is an objection
rather than a gain in poultry. A fowl
kept in a good clean range aud care
fully fed is at its best when cooped up
for three or four days and given ull
Of the boiled rice with a little sugar
and butter that it can eat iu that time.
In the course of this period it has 7.0
opportunity to get diseased and ab
normal. It would be well if uani
tariuus and health enthusiasts would
give a little attention to this way of
fattening, aud see if it is entirely con
sistent with the laws of health and
hygieue. New Ycrk Ledger.
RAISING HOKSEIIAIUSII.
Ilorseradibh delights in deep, rich,
moist soil, and requires but little cul
tivation as it hat much top which
shades the ground, prevents weeds
from growing and keeps tho soil moist
and mellow.
It is grown or propagated from sets
or pieces of Finall roots cut from four
to ei-ht inches long wilh upper end
slanting uud lower end square. When
cultivated ou a largo scale the ground
is well manured, dtieply plowed and
thoroughly harrowed, or otherwiie
put in good condition ; then marked
out iu rows from two to three feet
spnrt. In the the root pieces are
j luntcd fifteen fir eighteen inches
ing a holo with a long slim dibber or
planting stick or with a small, light
iron bar, and dropping tho set, squaro
end down, into it so thnt the top end
is loft a little below the surface. Then
press the soil firmly against tho set
Keep cultivator or wheel hoo going
till tho top growth renders further
working unnecessary.
In those days of intensivo farming
or gardening we must take two crops
ofT tho same land each senson when
ever possible, so horseradish, is gen
erally mado a (ecoud crop, though
plnnted at nearly tho snmotimo ns tho
first crop. The crops usually selected
as tho first crop nro early cabbages,
cauliflowers or beets. As soon ns tho
first crop is planted tho horseradish
sets are put out, as dc scribed above,
midway betwen tho other two rows,
so as to stand two or two and a half
feet one way by Bixtocn or eighteen
iuches the other.
Tho sets nro put in deep enough so
tho upper or slanting cud will bo
about three inches below tho surface
of tho gronnd. This will givo tho firat
crop time enough to grow and bo
gotten out of tho way before tho horse
radish gets much above ground.
Whilo cultivating the first crop no
notico is taken of the horseradish un
derneath. If a stray shoot comes up
it is to be treated as a weed, and tho
whole snrfaco below tho rows kept
clean. When tho first crop is taken
off the cultivator may be run onco
down the space where it stood and the
horseradish permitted to make its
growth as rapidly as it wishes. It
makes its most rapid growth iu early
autumu anyway, and with tho good
start it has had below the surface it is
soon ready for u hoeing; this will
generally bo all the cultivation needed.
It is dug lute in the full, the tops
and small roots trimmed from tho
mnin roots, which nre stored in cellars
and root houses till wanted for the
market. The small roots as cut olf
are saved, trimmea ami buncuea tor
tho next season's planting. They
should be buried in sand till wantod.
The largo roots aro generally washed
before being sold. The price is usu
ally so much per ponud. To start a
plantation roots may be obtained from
most large dealers in roots and plants.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Salting with briuo is not effective.
Excessive feeding of Swedish turnips
makes tho milk bitter.
Begin early and train the fruit trees
to grow symmetrical and well bal
anced. It requires ensilage and warm stables
for cows in winter to make winter
dairying profitable.
It is doubtful if there is any better
milk-producing food for tho brood
mare than ground oats.
Professor Weigmnn attributes oily
butter to iron, which cornea from the
use of poorly tinned vessels.
Keep a closo watch on the work
horses. Give them all necessary pro
tection against bad-fitting or dirty
collars.
Hot weather brings plenty of work
in the poultry yard, aud work that can
not be slighted nor neglected if profit
able results are to be expected.
Handsome, well proportioned, sound,
sixtecn-hand carriage horses that
show quality and good action will
bring about as much money to-day as
ever.
Green bone is an excellent egg-making
food. It is also excellent for
young chicks, as it furnishes the ma
terial reqnired for tho growth of bono
and feathers.
Soapy milk has been found to bo
caused by damp, foul straw upon which
the cows were bedded. This abounded
in bacteria, which got on to tho udders
aud thence into the milk.
Salting with one-half to ono and one
half ounces per pound increases the
total weight of butter about twelve
per cent The nusalted butter has a
larger water content than tho salted.
Young ducks are great feeders and
will sometimes gain as much as a
pound iu a week. Duck meat can bo
producedalmost as cheaply as pork,
and with about the same kind of feed.
Because thero are poor imported
stallioini it is very foolish to refuse to
buy or use an imported stalliou.
Some of the best horses iu the world
have been imported into the United
States.
When honey is capped and sealed it
should be removed at once if a fine
appearance is desired. If loft to tho
bees it will improve iu flavor and
quality but at the expense of discol
oration. I. Seidl fiuds that weak brine up to
ten per cent, is not fitted for preserv
ing butter, aud thut saturated brine
cannot be relied on, even when the
butter is kept iu a cool place. Briue
is likely to givo butter a "heet" taste.
If eggs are desired during th warm
seasou, do not let tho hens get crowd
ed in the roosting plaos. Better pro
vide a roosting sho t with opou sides.
At the most, not over tweuty-tivo
should be allowed to roost together.
Tlie best time to oil haruess ii after
it hus been out iu tbe rain. When it
is Hourly but not quite dry wash it
clean with lukewarm water with a lit
tle com niou soap in it; rinse oil' tho
so-ip, and when nearly dry apply tho
oil.
Clover or line-cut beet tops packed
away tightly while green, iu barrels,

As C. C Bettcs, tho druggist, was
walking homo Mouday night he saw
something on tho sidewalk which ho
took for a brick. Mr. Ilettes is a
cyclist, and ho was thoughtful euotigh
to endeavor to remove the obstruc
tion, which might causo some wheel
man to come to grief, so ho stopped
nnd attempted to shovo tho brick off
the walk with his foot.
Tho "brick" moved. Iu fact, it
moved about twenty feet straight to
ward tho middle of the street. Mr.
Bettes was utterly dunifounded. He
coilld not remember taking more than
a half dozen cococoias, and that
beverago had never beforo caused him
to see bricks leap off the sidewalk.
Ho started after that brick, but just
as ho was almost over it and stooped
down to examino it closely, away it
went ngaiu, landing on tho opposite
Hide-walk. Ho then saw what it was,
A tremendous bullfrog, that could
outjump tho Nassau llnilrond ring at
tho county convention when the ring
hters saw tho regular Democrats wero
going to bit down on them.
Bettcs was not going to lot thnt
frog get tho best of him, aud, after
chasing several blocks, finally got it
cornered, and now has it on exhibition
