Nearly if not quite all species of fowls use tho dust batb, says Albert F. Fiiestine. They choose a'spot of fine, dry soil aud scrape little holes, where they pulverizo the dirt until il is re duced to a fine dust. In this they roll and shake their feathers and allow the dust to penetrate to the skin. Jt ap pears that in some way this is deleter ious to the parasites which infest the plumage or the ekin. It has been said by some naturalists tht n n in. sects breathe not through the mouth as warm-uiooaed animals do, but throuah little OttPtnnfR in tlia arin situated in rows along the side of the uouy tne particles of dust close theso openings, so that araaitea lin of suffocation aa quickly as a quadruped wuuiu ii neiu uuuer water. This has been denied bv some n.-ipntiut say that theso holes are defended by a very ueiicate Uut eneotive apparatus that makes it impossible for any foreign matter to enter, no matter how minute it may be. Uo this as it may, I know that wild birds take dust baths when ever the weather and the state of soil permit. ISature is a good guide, and whether the dust bath is for the pre vention and absorption of efleto mat ter which has become too odorous, or whether it acts us an insecticide, it is certainly advantageous to fowls or they would not nee the dust bath.

There is no longer auy use disput ing the extra value of fall calves for raiding. And they constitute oue of the chief sources oi profit to the but ter dairyman, who has his skim milk and raises his own uowu, finely bred. It is no wonder that such wise men esti mate the valuo of skim milk at one cent per quart. Aud they have learned how to employ it to the best advan tage. "I alwayB feed it with bran," says oue. But br.in aiouo would not do, although it is cs-scntial to rapid growth becuiit'e of its bone-producing elemeufs. A little lluxsced, properly prepared, returns to tho milk u part of the fut leniovo.l by skimming, and keeps the bowels m order, lioil it in six times its bulk of watrr for twenty luiuulep, or until it Make a jelly. U wo tubliapocnfuls of this jelly placed in each yallt.ii of milk fed the calvesi, with u liHudful or two of brau, accord ing to tlie age ol the cnlf, will lnuke large, tleek, choice r.uiinala. Too much brau fed to very youug ca!vtb is not desirable. There is no com parison betweon fall calves carefully reared in the barn in this way for this first six months, and spring calvca turned out to battle with flies inside of two months after birtu. The evi dence is wholly in favor of tho fall calves. And it is surpririug how soon they begin to eat hay. Givo them the best early cut. Many are beginning to find a similar course satisfactory for veal production, slightly increas ing tho jelly with full rations of milk. but not onongh to cloy tho appetite. Some feed a little corn meal in con junction with the ration whon fatten ing yeal. This must ba used judi ciously not more than half n pint at a meal to tho oldest, biggest ealvos. Such veal at this season and until veal begins to be low in price will sell at readily and for as much money as veal fattened on expensive bntter fats. Look out for well-bred heifer calves. American Agriculturist. FARM AXD ARDRX NOTES. Many farmers begin Boiling without proper preparations in advance. Tight horse collars are apt to pro duce permanent swelling of tho throat. If any little pigs are expected on your farm be sure the sow has warm quarters. Use tho sprinkler of kerosene at least once a week and keep the roosts always satnratod. When fattening an animal push from tho start gradually at first of course and save time and feed. Potash is the chief fertilizer to be applied to fruit trees, particularly after they couio into bearing. With proper management medium weight hogs are the most profitable to grow for the general market. Over-feeding is a waste 'or indiges tion is the result and food that is un digested, unassimilatcd, is wasted. If the young stock are not thrifty when they go in to winter, it is doubt ful if they will come out thrifty in tho spring. Tho boys and girls of tho farm ought to be allowed a plot of ground wherein they can grow something for themselves. Give your children good, sound, en tertaining aud morally lieatbful read ing. Subscribe for tho best magaziue for your wife. How are the cow stables? Full of cracks or well battened.? Wintr is here ami you ought to have tho stables in shape now, Laj ing heus will always give better results when supplied with plenty of sharp, gritty material with which to grind their food. Never allow a hog to eat or sleep in the dirt. It is naturally a clean ani mal, but it does not always have the opportunity to be so. All animals enjoy a clean, dry bed at night. Do you know of anything better than good straw and plenty of it to furnish such a bed? It is a serious mistake to keep the teams in almost complete idleness un til spring opens, and then foroe them suddenly into hard work. To grow plants in living rooms is not difficult. Success depends upon choice of plants, and upon the care and attention given them. The New Jersey Experiment Station says that grades, crosses and especially natives, appear somewhat less subject to tuberculosis than pure-bred cattle. There is no money now in big, fat pork. Tho market calls for lean bacon. Tho weight of the carcass should not exceed two hundred pounds. This is the time of the year when the milk yield is apt to decrease. Un less great care is taken to milk out every drop this tendency will become more pronounced. Look well to the young calves, that they do not go into the winter stunted. Two months' good care through the winter win put thom on grass next spring in good shape. The capacity for work of the borse depends, in no small degree, upon the condition of his shoulders ; hence by preventing galls and sores he is able to do the field work faster. Apples may be kept in cold storage for many months if perfect, unbruised fruit is selected, carefully wrapped in paper and kept at a temperature of not over thirty-eight degrees. The wise furraer looks into the future. He does not do this because he is unduly anxiou?, or because his faith in farming is weak, but because it is a precaution which his business demands. With present prices for wool and mutton, as compared vith the cost of fodder, the keeping of old sheep can uot be made profitable. It is a good time to dispose of all that are getting along in years. Tho fall months arefimportaut as providing a ttme during which the food of the stock may be gradually changed from the suoculent grasses of summer to the dry, coucentrated foods of winter. With a large flock of chicks, abun dance of milk, a good-sized patch of strawberries and vegetuble garden, the health of the family may virtually bo assured and the provision dealer's bill greatly reduced. The class who had common breeds of cows ten years ago, and still haTe them, must eventually sncoumb to the spirit of the times. They will be forced to capitulate from neceNsity il not from conviction. Tho wide-awake duiryman who has (tocked his farm with the bent of cows and feeds them intelligently uan pro duce milk much more cheaply than his neighbor, who is still beating along on the old track. In pig-keepiug the breed is not oi bo much iuipoituiice as the type. The Mud wunted is oue that will nuish off syruuetrically at from tx to eight mouths old it' pushed, as luirket feed iu in general should be, lm.king good weights without excessive fat. TEMPERANCE.

Latest U.S. Gov't Report AusoLwtrniv pure A Itoa Constrictor Swallowg lis Mate. Ono of tho strangest incidents in the expurioiioo of tho management of tho Zoological 8ooioty's monagorio has occurred in the reptilo honno, tho soono being one of tho compartments In which the boa constrictors are con fined. Two largo boas ocoupiod the chamber, one snake liofng nino feet and the other eight foot long. When tho liotiso was oponod in tho morning only ono boa was found in the cage; tho other had disappeared. Though tbo survivor was only a foot longer than the other snake, there was no reason to doubt that it had completely swallowed its companion. It was so distended that the scales were almost separated, and it wa. nnnblo cither to coil itself or move. There is every reason to beliove that in accomplish ing this almost incrodible feat the snake acted by mistake, and it de voured its companion by what do aerves to bo called an accident. Tho largo boa was fodwith a pigeon before tho house was closed for the night. It swallowed tho bird, and tho other boa was thon glvon a pigoon, which it , had begun to swallow whon tbo snakes were left for the night. It is beltovod that tho larger snake then caught hold of the part of the pigeon which pro jected lrom the othor'i mouth, and 'gradually enveloped, not only the bird, but the bead of tho other snake, I Once begun, the swallowing prooess i would go on almost mechanically. As the swallowed snake was only one foot ftss in length than the ewallower, and of nearly equal bulk, weighing about I fifty pounds, the gastrio juices must have dissolved the portion which first entered the snake's stomach before tho remainder was drawn into the jaws.
