" FOOD FOR CincKKUa. -A writer recom mends for chit-kens, for the first week after hatching, hard boild egg?, to be given, chopped fine, at least twice a day, wheat a'eeped in milk, and course Indian meal, bread crumbs, etc. A change of food is nec essary twice a week, substituting cracked corn for wheat (jfA horse that is in the harness every day needs an abundance ot food and the right kind. Oats make more muscle than corn, and should always from part of the { food of a hard working horse. Corn gives plumpness and imparts warmth. The colder ihe weather the more corn; the harder the work, the more oats. ww— - ■ ■ There is need of but little pruning where an orchard has been properly managed from the start; no large limb will ever need to be taken away, unless broken by winds or injured inf some other way. Tinue but little, is a good motto, but prune an nually. Do not allow iiickers or limbs that are crossing each other to grow se veral years before they are removed. Buffer the shoots that start out in the ' spring to remain until the leaves have fall en in autumn, and then cut theta smoothly • off. The trees need them for a time, and nature, ever ready with a helping band, rends them out to aid the leaves of the top in elaborating '.lie sap and increasing die whole growth of the tree. T*t KITCHEN GARDEN. —It is a matter of astonishment that so many farmers ap pear to be indifferent to the kitchen garden. There are many vegetables like celery, lettuce, asparagus, rbnbarb andtpnany others that might.be named that are ab aolntely indispensable in there season up on every well-supplied table. They are healthful as well a palatable, aod no far mer should deprive his family of an abund ant supply of them, ltcsides, the garden, if conveniently located, as it should be, near the house, need not occupy all unreason able amount of time, but oflers a place where many an odd hour may be fiilled up with pleasui# as well aa profit. There is no estimating the saving which might be effecled by greater attention to garden. The fact is, the farmer is better situated to have upon his table every luxury in tbe way of vegetables and small fruits, since he can produce them himself, than any other class of people, but in point of fact bow few avail themselves of the advanta ges of thia position. What is more healthful than tbe rhubarb, or pie plant, in its season, and yet how few gardens contain it! Who weold deprive his family of celery, and yet how few gardens give it any place! iJ i. 1. _—l LICE ON CATTLE. BY J. WILKINSON. Very few farmers have an itb-a of theim- Mtue cost of wintering lice. A lousy animal'will consume about one toorth more food than one of th<- same size which tafree from them, will lo?e flesh con tinually; hence no stock-keeper can afford to allow his animals to be lotuy, particularly aa tbe remedy, a certain one, is so simple Md inexpensive. When any of the herd are ionad to be infested with lice, apply the remedy at OBCC In the whole herd, for one lousy animal will aood stock a large number. The re aaady if timply this: Apply dry wood aabee to the animal from bead to tail Tbe roost convenient mode of application known to the writer is, to attach a light wooden hoDp-seive.abort eighteen inches It diameter and four inches in depth, with n wirecloth bottom, with mesbee abont an Sbt of an inch, to the end of a light, tongh e, say ten feet in length, and ' wilh it npply the ashes by sifting over the animal his entire length. Two or three quarts is sufficient for one application on a Urge animal. I have found the remedy most active and. efficient when I applied it as soon after thn aDimalt werethorougly dry, altera rain that the ashes may not be washed off by ■tin for several days after it is applied; but four or five days after an application, il is desirable to expose tbe animal to a drenching warm rain. As soon as the hair ia dty, apply again and treat as before. A third application ia generally sufficient, and I bsve never known tbe fourth to foil. Four to six days should intervene the applications, ss tbe nits batch in from lea to eight days, according to the po aition tbey a'ccopy on the animal. Tbe asbes of hard woods, those contain kg most alkali, are best. The asbes of nine wood will not destroy lice. Tbe Stable should be thoroughly cleans ad? R>d lime-wash the floor as well as the •alls, every time tbe ashes are wsahed off by ruin, notil the veimin are thoroughly • eradicated No fanner can sffoid to f*ed louiy cat- i lis, and cattle ofteo lose condition from this Shaw before tbe owner is aware of its ex- If sib animal is lousy tbe lice may be found around tW eyes, ears and nose, and nn SUrh side of tbe brisket, between the jiiliirti.—-4 —>> i fr- wi DEL LACK X WESTERN r r. f- 1 : r f fl 4 - | Winter Arrangement-- 1867-8.
