If dusty hay is fed, sprinkle with water, and it will save the horse much annoyance; but better not feed it at all. A box of ashes under a clump of shrubbery will be greatly appreciated by the hens in warm weather. It is as impossible to estimate the productiveness and value of a cow as it is to guess the exact number of bushels of corn a certain field will yield. The right kind farm garden will keep the family during garden season with the help of the hens. It won’t take many hens for this help, either. A good crop for the orchard would be cowpeas—wide strips sown between the rows of trees. This would make good early hay and is also good for the soil. While sheep will eat grain and any kind of grass and some kinds of weeds, they are, after all, dainty feeders, and the feed must be absolutely clean. If you intend to raise sheep for wool buy rams and ewes that are bred for wool, and do not make the mistake of mixing mutton types with wool types. The young pigs often become crooked in the legs, if kept on the hard floor too long, ahd this means that the pig, if a good breed, loses much of its value.

Weighing milk at stated intervals not only tells the owner which are Kis profitable cows, and which are robbers, but It stimulates rivalry between the milkers. Alfalfa grows best on a deep, sandy loam underlaid by a loose and permeable subsoil. It will not grow If there is an excess of water in the soil. The land must be well drained. English farmers do not hesitate to pay as high as SIOO for a pure bred sire ram. Do you imagine they would do this if they could get just as good results from a scrub at one-tenth the price? The high producing dairy cow is an animal that follows in the wake of civilization. She never goes ahead. Conditions must be suitable before she can be of any value to the farmer. If strawberry plants are dried out when received by express do not water them, for water on the foliage wi'l quickly cause the crown to rot. Dip the roots in tepid water and lay them in a cool cellar for a few hours. Four- ounces of sulphate of potassium to a gallon of water makes a good solution for killing lice on horses. Benzine is also beneficial. Both plications should be rubbed in twice, a week apart, in order to do the work thoroughly. Box stalls are safer for fattening horsfcs in than single stalls, but the difference in cost is hardly worth while, for with ordinary care horses can be fattened to just as good advantage when tied in single stalls as when confined in box stalls.
