The Work Horse. The work horse should be ‘supplied with about two pounds of _provender for each one hundred “pounds of weight. Of this from ten to eighteen pounds (according to the severity of the labor performed), should be-grain in some form. The. heavy feeding should come at night, after the long day’s work is over and when the ani- mal has time for masticatingzand di- gesting his food.—American Cultivator. ‘ Changing Crops and Pig Growing. There have beén much changing about of farm operations this Spring. Many good busines farmers, who have precise methods in earrying ony their affairs, have been adrift this spring and are breaking up their systems. Many got badly hurt in feeding hogs and sheep, and have turned grain rais- ers, with not a pig on the’ farm. We appreciate that it takes nerve to stick by a losing game; but it looks very foolish to turn from any special line of work, because prices are against it for one season. The hog raiser and feeder cannot lose money very long on account of low prices. The mar két usually swings back before anoth- er crop is ready to go. Stick to your live stcck: If feed is high, stand by your stock and use closer methods in feeding. The man who lost his nerve and has not.a nice bunch of spring pigs out in the clover pasture now, will be the first one to take up the old brood sow next fall.—Indiana Farmer. Fertilizers and Crops. For centuries man has known that he cannot successfully grow crops of the same kind in the samie fields with- out heavy additions of fertilizer. The idea was that the crops removed from the soil certain elements in it, which had to be made good from the fertil- izers. Since different crops take dif- ferent substances from the field a “‘ro- tation of crops’ was establishzd by which each field produced a succession of different crops. Recent ‘experi: ments, however, go to show that in. most ‘soils there are food materials enough for many crops of the same kipd - but that the reason plants can not make use of them is that the roots of* each. crop leaves in the soil some- thing whieh prevents the roots of sim- ilar plants from growing there. By the addition of fertilizers succeeding crops are able to rid themselves of these harmful substances and here.is found the reason for fertilizing the land. A rotation of crops contributed to the same end by allowing time, be- tween two crops of the .same Kind, for the harmful sunstances to disappear. —From the American Botanist, Joliet, 11. Hog Cholera. Telling hog cholera is not a very difficult task. There are first seen the signs of fever, shivering, unwill- ingness to move, more or less loss of appetite, elevation of _ temperature which may reach 106 to 107 degrees. The animals appear stupid and dull, and have a tendency to diide in the lwe- ter or bedding and remain covered by it. The bowels may be normal ‘or constipated at the teginning cf the attack, but later. there is generally a diarrhoea, abundant. exhausting, and persisting to the end. The éyes are at first congested and watery, but soon the secretion thickens, becoming yellowish, accumulates in the angles together. The breathing is more rapid than usual and may be oppressed and labored in the later stages. There is a cough, which, however, is not very frequent, and generally heard when the animals: aré driven from their bed. It may be a single dry cough, or it may be prolonged. The skin is often congest- ed and red over the abdomen, on the inner surface of the limbs, and under: surface "of the neck and on the ears. The color varies from a pinkish red to a dark purple. An eruption is soms2- times seen, which leaves erusts or scabs of various sizes over the skin. TL -re is rapid loss of flesh, the animal grows weak; stands with arched back and the abdomen drawn up. It walks with a tottering, uncertain gait. There is less and less inclination or ability to move, and the, weakness ard ex- haustion increases until death results. —Geo. H. Rommel], ia Farmers’ Advo- cate. What a Farm Dairy Does. Mr. Jno. McLennan, of New York, contributes an interesting article to the Rural New Yorker on how he re- covered the fertility of rundown farm of 56 acrcs, 40 acer i has under cultivation. he plowed it 10 inches brought new elements the surface.” He hauled all sweepings of Syracuse to | of the wheel | Popular Mechanics. and spread it on it by way of an Erie canal boat. The first year with this preparation of the soil he grew 1,800 bushels of oats of 40 pounds to the ‘bushel, then he built a silo and ‘went into the dairy business, after planting 800 fruit trees. He now maintains 43 ‘pire bréd Holstein cows, and grows enough feed on the 40 acres to main- tain them and the horses necessary to work the farm, and next year will in- crease his cow herd to 50. He seu: his milk from the farm and some potatoes | and has sold $2,300 worth of stock since first of October last year. Hef gets about $100 worth of milk ang sells that from the herd each ‘month, and raises: his best calves. He says with alfalfa he can grow three crops a year on ‘his land now." To use his own words: “I keep stock that would tax the capacity of the ordinary. 150 acre farm, and do It with halt’ the plowing, harrowing, seeding and cultivation. I grow upon one acre nearly or quite as much as is ordinarily ;grown upon three. >” And ev- ery year his income is increasing from this 40 acres under cultivation. He says that with such farming as he is doing this country can maintain 300, 000,000 as easily as 80,000,000, people. His chief industry now is the dairy and milk business, by which he man- ages to return fertility to the farm. Poultry and Agriculture. ; Director A. G. Gilbert, in treating the subject of ~poultry in its relation to the agriculturist, in a paper read before the Ontario Agricultural Union said: In relation to the agriculturist, poultry occupies the position of an un- developed mine of wealth. The farm- er asks the reasen for its value. The answer is, because for the capital in- vested there is nothing about the farm that, with proper management, will return so great a profit. It is the only department of the farm that will utilize what might be waste, and give in return for it: :1..The égg, represent- ing cash at alk times. 2. The young, which are revenue producers in three to five months. 3. The: valuable manure. 4. The body of the hen, which will bring a fair price after rearing several breeds of chickens and laying a large number of eggs: It seems to make no difference ‘with poultry whether they are housed beneath the slate roof of a pretentious building or in a' deserted pigpen, SO long as they are kept dry, fairly warm, and well attended. The farm- er inquiries: What percentage of profit may. I expect? In answer, I quote from ‘an author of twenty-five works on poultry. He says: “One dollar per hen profit, where large flocks are kept is a very good profit, that is about 100 percent on the investment. = In small er flocks, two and even three dollars per hen is realized. But .such prices are the exception and not the rule.” You tell a farmer that there is mon- ey in poultry and he replies: “There may be, but it takes a lot of knowledge and work to get it out of them.” It takes intelligence and trouble to look after any department on the farm. The man who invents a business that will make money for him while he sits down and looks at it, will be the rich- est man the world has ever produced. Farm Notes, : Feeding chickens decayed or spoil ed meat, is said to be a prolific cause of “limber-neck.” Stale bread soaked in milk until soft and then sueezed sufficiently dry to be crumbly makes a good feed for little chicks. Scalded bran is a good feed for hens; it contains mineral matter which they need and in which many grains are deficient. A few drops of turpentine mixea with cornmeal and fed occasionally to young chicks, is said to be a good prevention for gapes. ‘The balancing up of the profit and loss sides in the poultry yards de- pends altogether upon the sumining up of the little things. Scattering the grain food among the straw and chaff, always on the floor of the pens,-keeps the poultry, es- pecially the young ones active. If the droppings are allowed to ac- cumulate the odors that arise are un- wholesome in the extreme and will cause roup:;as well as other diseases. Ducks grow very rapidly, and one engaged in the duck business can turn his money over quickly if he will go in- to ‘the business in a systematic man- ner.—Fcrmer’'s Home Journal. Rather Small Pigs. A farmer who took pride in the looks of his fattening pigs once pur- chased a pair from a neighbor. Upon delivery at the usual age of eight weeks they seemed to him rather small Eyeing them dubiously, he re- marked, dryly, “Guess I had better keep the cat shut up for a few days.” -—Youth’s Companion.

The first Americas glass factory was “erected in the town ot Temple, N. H. Washington, in his diary, speaks of glass being made in New Haven, Conn., in the year 1789. One would suppose by the Janguage he uses, says the Crockery and Glass 1Journal, that he considers it a new and quite extraordinary affair. It was nine years previous to this, and curing the very war whoge issue first enabled the country to cemmencs its own manu- facturing, tbat Robert Hewes of Bos- ton, began to carry out the project which he hz i long conceived, but had hitherto. found _imapracticable, if not impossible, under rngliza rule—that of making glass in America for America.

Tree Planting Along Copntry Roads. The Stockton Arbor Club has com- menced an active compaign to raise funds- for the purpose of saving the fourteen miles of trees planted along four roads leading out of Stockton. The scarcity of moisture this sea- son makes it necessary that the trees be watered several times, and addi- tional funds are necessary to carry the many fine trees that have been growing through the coming summer. It is also the intention of the Arbor Club to later extend the tree planting on the four roads already lined with trees.

Inventor of Envelopes. It is somewhat curious. that such a simple contrivance as the envelope should be a comparatively modern in- vention. As a matter of fact it is just 100 years since a paper manufacturer of Brighton,-named Brewes, invented en- velopes for letters in their present form. Even then it was some con- siderable time before their use be- came at all general, not, in fact, until somewhere about the year 1850. : Before this date—as many who are living now will remember—a letter, written only on one side, was folded in two, then in three, sealed with a wafer or sealing wax and addressed on one of the blank sides.—Gaulois.

He is a member of the ortho- dox wing of Judaism, but has always been opposed to Zionism, and his fear- less attack upon the movement when it swept like wildfire through the ranks of the orthodox Jews eight years ago nearly caused his financial ruin.— Kansas City Journal Use for Old Hats. ‘What do you do with your old win- ter hats when warm weather comes? “Just ‘phone to me and I'll come after old hats,” said Philip Welch, jailer at police headquarters.. “I don’t want them myself, but I would like them for the men we turn loose ev ory morning after they are lecked up the night before.

A fair tonnage of new business is re- ceived by the steel mills. Semi-annual ‘clearance sales of dry goods were well attended, country merchants especially replenishing de- pleted stocks at satisfactory prices. Reports from all sections of the coun- try testify to a good distribution of light weight wearing apparel. Idle freight cars have been reduced to less than 350,000 and many railroad | shops are resuming repair work. Gen- erous small orders make up a fair ton- nage of new business in the iron and steel industry, -but buying is conserv- ative as is customary at this season in: most departments. The usual inventories and repairs will be made next week, reducing operations at mills and furnaces some- what, but resumption of work will be on a much larger scale than has pre- vailed of late. - ‘Export trade is broad- ening although there is no disposi- tion to make any further reductions in steel prices. ’ Pig iron furnaces are only receiv- ing small orders for immediate needs, but in this department also there is a stability about prices that is becom- ing disturbing to buyers who have failed to provide for requirements.
