AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS FOR OUR RURAL READERS. • Plea (or Low Stables for Stock—Moles as Grab Killers—lll* Men Who “Uoed Tlielr Own Row'’—Horns on Domestic Cattle Serve No Useful l'urpoew— H ease hold. Kitchen, Etc. Stock Barns. •jj . Tt is hoped that \ a the era of big

a mass of seething llame so quickly that it seemed to be the result of explosion. The time is coming—may it hasten—when stock will be kept in barns where there is no hay. where there is nothing to burn like a tinderbox. If the stock barn in which there is no inflammable material catches on lire, the result cannot be so disastrous as before, for there is only the shell to burn. If this shell be of iron, as it may be at a moderate cost, there is absblyte safety from fire. For the protection and finding of 6toek, unpretehtiouSj, kgr,.buildings, merely stable rows of stalls with space between), are just as good as larger stfwctures. The only inconvenience is the bringing of the fodder from the stack outside, • or from the hay barn. In winter these stalls are comfortable, ' for every farmer knows that every cow is as good as a stove and helps to heat the space. If the horses and all ithe stock (pigs in the cellar below) are under this low roof, between tight walls, all are as comfortable as they would he of tons of hay were piled above them, and they are safe from lire. Arid there can toe no objection to the stacking of hay in the opeb air. Slay stacks on any farm, fine as it may be, give it always a picturesque and thrifty appearance. Probably less hay is lost im the stack than 4n the barn, for in the latter it often heats as not salted, and sometimes when it is salted. If on :a cold day 'hay he brought from a stack and placed in the mangers, the cows will turn at once from the barn hay to it. The hay is fresher, brighter from the stack, and is Clean and dustless. iLow stables for stock alone, practically fireproof, cost comparatively little, and the farmer has the assurance that his stock is safe, or comparatively safe. These buildings may be snug In winter and cool in summer. The best stable of this kind was built withdouble walls with six inches of sand between.—George Appleton in Farm and Fireside.

Moles as Grub Killers* A Kansas correspondent tells in the Farmers’ Review, that every investigation goes to show the mole lives on insects and starves on cereals.and vegetables. He calls .attention to the fact that when lawns arc apparently renolered unsightly by moles, if on© will cut a section of the sod, he will find the cause in .quantities of white grubs, the presence of the mole being to feed on this larvae. It was Mr. Landis who first came to the .assistance .of .the mole. 'On his ground at Vineland, S'. J.. , he paid 25 cents for all the moles sent to him. He was ridiculed, but,alii knew that his enterprise was .a great success. To attack a popular idea is-unpopular., and it takes a long time to make reform; the mole-trap wall toe sold. Cultivate the moles, and as soon as the lan,'® are eradicated the moles will leave the lawn for other pastures. Depend upon it, that whenever evidences of the mole are found, there you will find the white grub, concludes the Kansas correspondent. Farm Lite mu) RralM. Nearly three-fourffes of the men who have been chosqp by the people for the great offices of the nation who are men who were early familiar with wooded hills and. cultivated fields—for example, Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Hamlin, Greeley, Tilden, Cleveland, Harrison, Hayes, Blaine, and many others almost equallv conspicuous in current events or living memory. Among journalaists, Henry Watterson spent his early life in rural Kentucky, and Murat Halstead was born and lived on a farm in Ohio. W. Vanderbilt was born in a small New Jersey town and early engaged in the business of ship chandlery; Russel Sage was born in a New York village; Jay Gould spent his early years on his father’s farm In Now York State. Ingersoll first saw light in a country town in New York; Talmage in a New Jersey village, and David Swing, though born in Cincinnati, passed his boyhood on an Ohio farm. Whittier and Howells spent their youth in villages, the former dividing his time between farm employment and his studies. Follow the list out yourself and see how long it will become.

LIVE STOCK.

Horns Mast Qo. Horns on domestic cattle no longer serve any useful purpose, and to one who views beauty oruy in usefulness they .are not even beautiful. Western farmers are now usings what is known as the Fugate machine for dehorning mature animals. It is done so Quickly and neatly that there is no longer any objection from cruelty in the process of getting rid of the horns. The loss from maintaining useless horns is not confined to the injury they do to stock, though that is often serious. Tnere'"always great danger to and often loss of life of attendants from vicious animals, and especially from bulls. Stoke Pogis. 111. was probably the most valuable progenitor of Jersey blood, but- becoming vicious he was fattened and sold for beef, before his value was fully known. Had he been dehorned thie valuable strain of Jersey blood

would not be nearly so scarce and dear as it is, and the improvement to American' Jersey stock from a few more years of service from Stoke Pogis 111. can scarcely be estimated. The dehorning process has now been practiced long enough to show that loss of horns does not injuriously affect animals either for fattening or dairy purposes, nor does it lesson the valuable characteristics transmitted to their progeny by dehorned bulls. It is likely indeed that as horns arc bred off cattle may be bred free from the vicious propensities that the constant use of horns must stamp upon character, and thus transmit to future descendants.—American Cultivator. ICaiKinc Colt**. Keep good mares to do the farm work with. Breed to a draft, horse, and have them foal about the Ist of May, as this is a slack time in the work and grass has a good start. Work the mare carefully up to foaling time, and let lier rest ten days after before going to work again. Feed marc and colt a little once a day, and the colt will soon learn to eat. When working the mare have the colt in the stable. It will soon learn to stay, is less bother, and it is better for the colt than to follow the mare. Give it access to water twice a day." Give each colt and mare a roomy box stall and feed the colt by itself. Wean at five months old, give them good pasture and oats. Winter in a loose stall and let them have plenty of exercise in the day. Keep up the oats until they are a year old, then turn to pasture.—National Stockman. .

Helpful Point* fop llorKeman. It is better to take S2OO for a colt when he is 2 years old than to keep him three years for SIOO or $l5O more. While the breeding of horses is greatly on the increase, and of trotters especially, there is a great lack of A No. I horses of all kinds. Horses that can trot in 2:40 or 2:30 are very plenty, but a great number of them are not good road horses. They may be undersized, undesirable in color, pullers or slow travelers or vicious and waiting for an opportunity to run away and smash things generally. Probably the fastest mare that ever raised a colt is Mary Marshall, .2:125, and the colt is in training at Independence, la. She is in foal again to Allesrton, 2:095, and if there Is anything in the theory that a colt from developed parents should go fast, •this colt ought to go faster than -any horse ever has. Breeders are turning their attention more than ever- to the fact that horses bred for the track, but which •cannottrot fast enough, must be sold for what theywil! bring. €. J. Hamlin was the first large breeder to demonstrate that horses could be bred for size, beauty and color, and .at the sarnetrrne got high speed. The standard colors are black, bay, ■chestnut ;and sorrel. Bays and chestnuts are always desirable. Black is liable to grow dingy, but a glossy black is very handsome. White horses are too conspicious and show dirt very easily, but soap and water will keep them dean. Many admire a roan horse, but the color does not often affect the value of an animal, unless ft is very bad. In starting to raise ;a nice class of fast driving horses the foundation must be well laid. We must look to the standard bred trotter to give us all the points desirable, as no other one breed contains so many for this purpose. The mares must meet the requirements, as nearly as possible, that are desired in the colts. Mate them with a stallion which is individually good and especially strong in those points where the mares are lacking. Few blacksmiths take the trouble to fit a horseshoe to a horse’s foot. Most of them prefer to fit the foot to accommodate the shoe. It is nothing uncommon in some smithies to see a horse with both feet very much alike, shod on one with a shoe much too short for the foot, which is set far hack, well spread and the toe cut very short. On the other foot the shoe will be much too long, set well ahead and an inch narrower at the heel.—Farm and Home.

(Shipping; Grapes. When shipped from distant points the best packages for grapes are cases containing eighteen three-pound boxes and covered baskets holding ten or twelve pounds. All packages should be filled so full that the cover will drawdown tightly on the contents, holding them firmly in place, but not so as to bruise the fruit. Near-by shippers also largely use the covered baskets, and they are generally considered to be the most desirable package. Many shippers to not &ot distant points use flat, wooden boxes, with hinged cover, measuring about twenty-one inches long, twelve inches wide and five inches deep, and holding twenty-five to thirty pounds. These boxes have to be returned to the seller, and many buyers object to them for that reason.—Orchard and Garden. KIIHd? Potato Rug<.

Although Canada is extremely cold in winter the poultry production of the provinces is quite large. Stale bread moistened with sweet milk is highly recommended as good feed for young chicks the first few days. To amount to anything, chicks should grow from the word “go.” “No step backward” is the motto for chick life. One hundred hens to an acre is about the right number. They will do much better than if more were kept on the same area. ■ Sour food is the worst thing a chick can be given to eat. It makes a heavy draft on the strength of the wee creature to dispose of it, and th us‘retards growth. Don’t allow chicks to crowd each other in the coop. As they increase in size remove them to larger quarters, and give them abundance of fresh air. “It is cheap,” some one says, “and they need it.” Cooked potatoes or turnips, with chopped clover and a mixture of ground corn and oats, make the best food for ducks, geese or turkeys. One must not expect them to do well urn til he learns to cater to their needs.

Rome Itemadlos. It i 9 said that a strong solution as epsom salts In water will cure burns if applied immediately. Beef suet boiled in fresh milk is very good for a cough. Take small quantities at a time, but often. To remove warts, wet them thorougely with oil of cinnamon three times a day until they disappear. Alcohol is a good remedy for burns if applied immediately. Keep the bum moist with it for two hours. To cure cold sores keep them dry from saliva and touch them once very •carefully with carbolic acid, then apply alarm occasionally. Turpentine will take the soreness ■crat of corns and bunions, and will sometimes cure soft corns. Be careful, however, about using too much ■of it, for it will weaken the joints.— The Housekeeper. Advice to HouMekeepern, Fish may be scaled easier fey first dipping them into boiling water for a minute. Milk which has changed may be renderd fit for use again by stirring in a little soda. A tablespoonful of ammonia to a teacupful of water applied with a rag will clean silver or gold Jewelry. Wetting the hair thoroughly onoe or twice with a solution «f salt and water will keep it from falling out. Clear boiling water will remove tea stains; pour the water through the stain and thus prevent its spreading.

A disinfectant which combines cheapness with general worth is found in permanganate of potash. One ounce will make a bucketful of disinfectant. It is a crystal, and can be kept in this state until ready for use. Charcoal is recommended as an absorber of gases in the milk room where foul gases are present. It should be freshly powdered and kept there continually.

THE KITCHEN.

Culluiiry. It should be remembered that quick boiling hardens meat and too much water renders it tasteless. To boil a leg of mutton an approved plan is to put it into water that is boiling fast and let it boil about five minutes, the object being to harden the outside and prevent the escape of juices; then add enough cold water to reduce the temperature and when on the point of boiling again skim it carefully, then draw it to one side of the stove and let it simmer until done. A nice dessert dish of chocolate is made by creaming together two ounces of butter with two ounces of sugar, the yolks of three eggs and three ounces of grated chocolate, adding last the well-beaten whitesofthe eggs. Bake in a buttered mold. Chicken Custard. —Mince finely the white meat of a chicken; place in the bottom of a small pie dish and season with pepper and salt; moisten with a little stock.' Let the pie dish be half full of meat. Make a custard of a quarter of a pint of milk, two eggs, well heated, yokes and whites whipped separately; beat up with the custard two ounces of grated cheese. Pour the custard over the meat and bake in the oven. Lemon Cake. —Cream together two cupfuls of sugar with two-thirds of a cupful of butter, add the beaten yolks of three eggs, then the beaten whites, two-thirds of a cupful of milk, three cupfuls aad one-half of flour, and at the last the juice of one leihon. A little more than half a teaspoOnful of soda should be sifted with flour before that is mixed in, or it may be beaten in just before stirring in the lemon juice. Tea Iced. —Make the tea as usual, add equal parts of cream and new milk (half a pint each to a quart of tea), sweeten to taste and freeze. Coffee Iced.—Add one pint of cream and half a pint of new to a quart of very strong coffee, and sweeten to tasta. Freeze till fairly thick.

THE FARMERS’ ALLIANCE. The Farmers’ Alliance is puzzling the politicians. Just what It means they do not know. This is certain that the farmers have often been censured for not taking more interest in public questions. Now that they are taking this interest, it must be expected that they will shape matters for their own use and behoof. The main thing after all is the question of health. More farmers break down every year from pulmonary complaints and more farmers’ wives die from this cause than from all others. Reid’s German Cough and Kidney Cure will cure the most obstinate case of this malady. It will relievo the hardest attack of pneumonia and the most obstinate case of croup.
