FARM AND GARDEN. AGRICULTURE. Let those who have the responsibil- ity_of getting the fodder into- shape for the winter bear in mind that frost t almost any time. is to be an immense od because of failure to get it eure ohn good season, and covered from the elements. Summer fallowing is of some value in restoring worn or weedy land, but can be accomplished ways recuperating if we are not i fas robbing --it-+-if-we- at Bast same time feed it s0 much the bette farmer class should not be tlie sed cultured and enlight- ened of all m Very little ea be done for thie whe crop after it is started. The initial step of preparing a good bed ig the all important thing. If we would raise thirty bushels instead of fifteen, we must plant it where it will grow best. Plough a month or more before sowing time; harrow and roll, harrow and roll, harrow and roll-- keep it up. ine We know now for a certainty that @ great deal of the wheat rust is brought upon our farms through seed, and the spores of rust are held from year to year. All such seed and all bought from soedianicn should be sub- jected to the hot water test, which only sure way of killing the rust. We must learn to know cheat seeds; and when they are in the ye buy, we should reject pe whole, or have the cheat sifted o is one of the worst weeds which aifects our egos and until it blossoms can hard- > told from wheat as it grows. Phe idea is forever exploded that wheat will turn into che sat. To unwind barbed w an extra man, and will leave the wire straight upon the ground, just where you want it, Upon the heavy four wheeled vehi- cley used for hauling loads in France the\ tires are seldom fewer than six anchés in width, and the rear axle is about fourteen inches longer than the other, so that the hind wheels run about an inch outside the trac of the fore wheels. Such wagons are reguiar road makers White clover seems to spring up spontaneously along the roadsides and in the pastures, and it should be encouraged. It makes good pas- wure. Let blue grass be sown with it. While the mammoth clover is best from which to get a catch, white clover and blue grass are rs. believe that lumber is su- to mna@senry or concrete for silos, because it is a nonconductor of heat or frost; also, that small silos are better than large ones, because leas silage is exposed to the atmos- phere while using. This depends, of course, upon the number of stock fed, but a gvod silo is about 12 by 16 feet. Have you a rivulet running through & swampy piece of ground ? Dam it and make a pleasure ground, a valoable place for fish, a source of ice for the winter's supply, and so beautify the banks that it will be Indeed an at- traction upon the farm. Such an acre or two may become the most valuable. spot on the place. After a garden crop'or a crop clover is off a fieki can be sown bugkwhent in July. The soil to be but medium in fertility, the culture should be good. If ground is too rich the grain does not filt well, and the stalks take all the nutriment. It might not. be amiss-to plan for a patch next summer. Timothy is high in price, and is a short crop over most of the coun- try; but an acre of corn fodder igs worth two of timothy, and it Is en- couraging to know that we have thousands upon thousands of acres of g001 fodder, which will cost only the proper gathering of it a cover where it will not be injur If for no other reason ra to kill the weeds, plough in the fall; t- ting them under the ground is pretty sure way of eradicating them; and ground ploughed early will hold moisture better, for evaporation will be materially retarded. A good seed bed will be formed firm and clban. STOCK. of The addition of salt to the ordi- nary food of animals does not increase the digestibility of the substances consumed, but it increases appetite, 'promotes' repair of tissue by its Searching diffusion throughout the body; aml stimulates the rapid using up of the waste products. It increases muscular vigor and ee re and im- proves Where muscular ceceeeeh is the ob- ject in feeding, regnlar salting im- proves health and vigor. On the other hand, fattening ¢attle should have only as much as will keep up their appetite for food. If given too freely it overcomes epens Sluggishness; but the more inclin rest the more rapidly will yee accumulate wealth of flesh Several good breeders of pure stock |' in a county always attract trade. Healthy rivalry advertises it as a fine stock county. If food stock ig intro- duced by one, he will soon be foll peed by others who are not willing to be outdone, and then the good work foes on, the stock improves and prices ad- vance. People like to wet stock from fine stock centres, rice 'as not made himself Hhown in print. m judicious in lagers 4 e © proper of & profitiess cow's - re be the shambles, and the sooner e r. y again this , and it is stop and consider what ag Sete of. befo re the, aernayeny close stating the time oa Opes n the herds, take this meetin' with the cows and calves Wage corn only should not be fed to cattle, fom: mths in ite nature nor in its constituency is it the requisite food to obtain the best results. It is excel- lent in combination with clover hay, su plemented with bran or shorts. Wh ee the value of bran, teetitie growing an , let us not ey skepticai as to its value for fatten- ing stock. The finest beef can be made at moderate cost with no other Sar food than bran Pork will be m and more "oneaply if fed pean all through the fattening period, though a little oil meal should be adde In feeding bran to rider feed it dry, and it ig better to mix it with some fine cut hay or fodder. This cut feed should be sufficiently wet so as to cause the bran to adhere. No farmer ever yet gave bran a fair trial who pleased with the result. will let you know when me comes by his squealing. Perhaps some of the animals which make less noise notice your neglect t as much. Domesticated animals are wholly dependent upon their ove: an w sheep can follow the cows upon a pasture, consuming much that the cows have left. A small flock can be often handled with profit ypon a dairy farm, but sheep are cloger feed- rs than cows, and, if not careful, the pasture will suffer. Be sure that flock ig not too large. POULTRY. More of our professional poultry keepers, near the cities, are giving their attention to capons. There are no indications that the market yyill be over stocked or prices lowered. There is ye m for a much larger production in this line, and it will pay i who give it attention as @ bus The Poe of the shell is not an a to the quality of the eggs, but markets a pure white pheticd egg sells better than any other; but with them the more care mus taken, for the white shell must not be soiled by the least ae of dirt, or its superior value is gone Gorging with foods whith make fat is not the way towards profitable egg production. When fowls are con- fined so that they do not get' much exercise, this is to be especially guard- ed against. There is no si take, in the care of Comin 60 com- mon as that of over feelin There are some things try raising which can be taught only by experience, and in the te ness a little practice is world of theory. It is of the branches of farm industry which does not seem to have profited much from the experiment stations. Begin mod- erately, and acquire your own ex- perience. A! healthy chick requires no assist- ance to free itself from the shell. The heal is so placed as to leave room for action; it pecks a geirele and breaks out the larger end, admita air by degrees, and gradually extricates teelf. An attempt to break the onel downward is usually attended with) @ loss of blood, and death f[ol- lows. : In fattening fowls for market, let them run at large until about 10 days before you wish to sell them, then shut them up and feed them all the broken wheat and corn on the ear they will eat, and give | them b to: milk ,to drink, oe Reeak poul- wipes every ere with a damp ao, as soon ap it is brought in. This removes every possible soll before it can be- come a stain. The eggs are then put away and not handled until taken to market to be sold, where they at- tract buyers at once. Time thus used is well spent. WORTH TEN DOLLARS A BOTTLE, person who has used Nerviline, bottle. A good thin, weight in gold, and Nerviline is the best remedy for all kinds of pain.
