and
Any animal which gives milk is
thereby to a great extent protected
from dieae. What would otherwise
cause sickness has an escape valve
through the milk sorretion. The mere
statement of this fact ought to empha
size the necessity of giving milch cows
pure water. The unhcalthfulness of
milk in summer, from which so many
children sicken and die, is more fre
quently caused by giving the cows im
pure water than by anything else. The
cow Nhould not be allowed to drink
what is unlit fur a person.
There is great economy in feeding
horM'g to cut the coarse food and mix
it. after moistening, with oatmeal or a
mixture of corn and oats ground to
gether. Both the hay and grain do
more good, as the whole is better di
gested than w hen left to be masticated
by the animal. With an increased
proportion of meal, straw may be
substituted for cut hay, but there should
be enough coarse material to fill the
stomach, and also to make the wet
meal porous, so that it will not mass in
a lump, and thus cause colic it no
death.
Sheep need shelter at all seasons of
the year. The cold rains, which come
late in fall, are even more hurtful to
them than is the steady cold, freezing
weather of later winter. So long as
the sheep is dry, its coat of wool is a
protection against the cold. When
this becomes wet, the coat, being next
the skin, chills it by constant evapora
tion, until the animal takes cold and
dies from lung disease, just as its
owner would himself do if he were ex
posed to rain in woolen clothing, and
kept it on until it dried out by the heat
of his body.
The shrunken grains of wheat that
come out as screenings have less starch,
but proportionally moro gluten, than
that which is plump. The very best
use of this shrunken wheat is to feed
it to hens. It needs no grinding,
as
fowls do belter on whole grain, which
gives ilue exercise to their strong di
gestive organs. Wheat contains more
phosphate of lime than any other grain,
and most of this is near the outside
husk. This helps make the shell, while
the gluten, which lies just beneath
forms the bulk of the egg, especially
the albumen or while.
Although hops can be grown from
seed, this is not the usual way of pro
pagating them. The best time to plant
hops is in the spring, as early as tlie
ground can be worked. The rows are
made about ei.'ht feet apart, and the
sets planted in these at about the same
distance. Kach set has two eyes, is
planted about an inch deep and pressed
firmly down. Tho first year, a hill of
corn may be planted each way between
the hops, but the second year, the en
tire ground is to be kept well cultivated
H here the hop louse has not made
appearance, the crop is generally
Very profitable one.
It is a good plan to use the summer
made manure as a top dressing for tl
poor places in wheat fields. A ve
little fertilizer goes a great way
such cases. In our experience, when
the ground is dry, little damage is
done to wheat by driving over it will
loaded manure wagons having broad
tires that do not cut ill deeply. If
only ordinary wheels are used, defe
drawing until tlie surface is frozen so
it will bear a load, or wait still later
aud draw on the enow with a sled.
this case some marks should be put u
beroretiaml to show where the manui
bad better be spread.
It will save much labor if tile eflV
vi ran pruning is lliuroulily under
stood. Wherever a dormant limb
cut oil", the bud just below the cut will
next season push with greater vigor
and become the main shoot if the high
eat lert on me tree, i no more vig
orously a young tree is pruned in Fi
or miner, me stronger growth o
wood it will make next year, and the
concentration of sap in a few large
snoots win prevent fruiting. The only
pruning that can promote fruitfulness
is that done while the tree is in leaf
and this result is effected by checking
the vigor or its growth.
It is not often that a careful farmer
will allow sows to breed so as to
drop their pigs late in the Full. It
cobts more to winter such pigs than
they are worth, as it is almost impossi
Lie, however well fed aud housed, to
keep them from being stunted. But
the pigs need not be wholly lost
rrouauly the best use of them is to
latum rapidly aud sell for roasters
about holiday time. Roast pig is bet
ter liked bv many than roast turkey
ami if it were offered generally in Fall
aud early winter it is probably the best
use to wliicMi pigs dropped at this un
timely season can be put.
lhe future shape, productiveness
and value of an orchard depends
mainly on the way it is pruned while
young. It requires knowledge of the
habit of growth of ilitlerent varieties
to know how to prune them to ad
vantage. A little pruning while the
the tree is small sets it to tfrowiuj; -in
the right shape, and avoids the need of
sawing on large limbs later, which can
never be done without inflicting
wounds likely to destroy the vitality of
the tree. It is in pruning, more even
than iu anything cle. that a little done
at the right time saves the necessity for
doing much more afterwards.
.Many fanners who hac practised
the piau recommend cutting corn fod
der and piling it in small cocks to cure.
In a large stack the heating of so much
wet material would certainly prove in
jurious, but in small-sued cocks the
fermentation is just enough to famish
heat to dry them out. It also softens
the stalks, which are eaten w ith less
waste than those set up in stacks and
driei by exposure to the air. l.'ain
does not penetrate thee cocks to any
great extent. tarmers have of leu
toted that the dampened stalks kept in
mows, even wheu slightly mouldy.
were eaten cleaner thau those
thorougly dried.
Tlie L nited States consul at Mann
heim, Uermauy reports that German
chemists have learned how to make but
ter from the oil of the cocoanut. One
factory already produces CoO.000
pounds daily, which is sold at fifteen
cents per pound. The nuts are pro
cured from Africa, South America
end other tropical countries. Cocoa-
nut butter contain seventy per cent.
of fi't, and of the remainder, one-third,
is composed of the albumen, which :
give it a greater nutritive value than
cow butter possesses. The new butter
is used largely in hospitals, and is find'
nig its way, on account- of its cheap
ness, to the tables of the poor, espec
ially as a substitute for eleomargariiie,
io which 11 is certainly - superior as
usually made.
Roots of all kinds are better kept in
pits than in cellars, where they are ex
posed to currents of air. Some earth
should be mixed with them to fill up
the spaces, and thus prevent the evap
oration that usually makes them dry
and tasteless before spring. Beets and
potatoes are more easily injured by
freezing than other roots, and require
a double or triple covering to exclude
cold. Turnips, rutabagas, carrots and
parsnips will all bear a temperature
nearly or quite down to the freezing
point, provided they are in contact
with the soil. Parsnips with a slight
covering of the part of the roots above
the surface may be left in the eround
until spring without injury, and even
with benefit. The freezing makes
them "better flavored than they will be
if dug in the fall.
Several trials in recent years have
shown that the pine leaves, or needles,
as they are called, from our common
pine forests are valuable, or can
be made so, as a fertilizer for potatoes
on sandy soil. If the prejudice against
sawdust from resinous woods in gen
eral can be removed, and vegetable
matters gathered and applied to the
soil with less regard to its origin and
more for its effects, it is quite likely
that many tarmers would find in the
pine forests and groves a valuable ad
dition to their scant supply of bedding,
and at the same time furnish the much
needed vegetable matter. One man
raked up tlie pine leaves with what
decayed vegetable matter there was
under them aud mixed the mass with
lime and let it be in a pile a few weeks
find then used it for potatoes with
good results.
We wish some of the men who so
strongly object to letting cattle run in
mowing fields in the fall would just
take a walk over their pasturo now be
fore the snow comes and see if some
of their care for the grass in lnowinir
fields could not lie exercised In ui,ru
advantage elsewhere. They will find
tlie grass gnawed close to the ground ;
nothing left for a mulch to enrich the
soil, or protect the roots, or hold the
snow from blowing oil". Yet these
pastures are expected to support the
stock alxiut seven mouths of the year
without any return for the elements
which are taken away, and many of
them cannot be plowed and reseeded
as the fields can. There is au extreme
to be avoided in pasturing fields, but
the results are not as disastrous and
hard to overcome as the results of
abusing the pasture as many pastures
ore abused.
Some men think they are good farm
ers if they can get two tons of hay per
acre on a few acres in sight from the
road, even if the pastures fail so the
cattle have to be fed at the barn in
September.
There has been a wonderful awaken
ing during the past twelve mouths in
the matter of sheep breeding; aud

v nue tne question is being con
sidered whether our abandoned farms
shall be allowed to grow up to forests
or be peopled with Hottentots, as a
well-known orator has put it, it is well
to be prepared for either case. There
are many places where the farmer's
greatest care is to keep the bushes from
over-running their farms, and farmers
in such localities will not appreciate
lectures on forestry. But where farms
are well cleared up aud a certain por
tion set apart for wood lot from neces
sity, and it is desired to get as much as
possible from the given area, there is
much that may be done to advantage
All trees which have fallen should be
licked up and used liefore they are
worthless, and crooked trees which are
crowding others should be removed.

seedings and sprouts ami much m

ui m many cases, especially in
young pines that are to be saved for
timber, there is much work doue that
is worse than useless. ."such trees
should never be thinned out unless
they are too thick for a man to walk
among them. The value of timber
depends ou its length, straightness and
freedom from knots. Where a green
limb is cut oil' a knot remains. "Where
the limb dies and drops otT naturally.

Olierlv's Little Joke.
They say that when Mr. John H.
Libei Iv, the ''bishop," was a younger
man than he is now he was au irre
pressible joker. A member of the
Jellersim Club, who claims to know
what he is talking about, tells us that
John was born at just 1 o'clock in tho
morning, and relates the following
fiivuiiip;uiii'i-a com-erninir the twentv-
tirst auniversu-y of that event: Tho i
entire household was asleep excepting,
presumably, young Oborly. At a fevJ

door of each bedroom and with feigned
cautiousness aroused the sleeper, t-uy
