TKa VIm* fl??tr It is often the' case when a ^heifer has had her first calf, says the Indiana ' Farmer, that the farmer thinks she will giyo no more milk than will keep her calf in good condition, and lots them run togetlior to teach her the mystery of boing milked when she has her next calf. In thif decision there aro two mistakes that go far to spoil tho cow for future usefulness. Cows are largely tho creatures, of habit, and with their ilrst calf everything is new and strango to them, and they readily submit to bo milked and think it is all right, but suiter tliom to run with a calf tho first season and a vicious habit is established that they \vill hardly forget in a lifetime* If they tfver submit to be milked quietly, it is evidently under protest* But thero is a greater objection than this? the calf running with the cow draws the milk evory hour or two, Bo that the miiK vessels nro at no time distended with milk, though the quantity secreted In a given time may be large. But this is the natural time to distond the milk ducts and expand the udder to a good capacity for holding milk; When, with her next calf, you require tho milk to bo retained for twelvo hours, tho udder becomes hard and painful, and tho milk leaks from the teats, or, more likely, nature accommodates the quantity of,tho milk secreted to tho capacity to retain it, and the cow becomes permanently a small milker. Much of the future character of a cow, therefore, denenda nn lipr treatment with her first calf. An luexvenalro RolUh far Rtook? Stock men of Targe experience appreciate the need of salt for stock, and usually make such provision that animals under their care are daily provided with this relish. There are, however, many farmers who look upon salt as a luxury enjoyed by their stock when placed within reach, but not necessary for their thrift or comfort. Observation and experience have proven to those who have given most attention to tho subject that cattle require for best results the salt thoy crave. The French government at one time commissioned a number of practical and scientiilc men to investigate tho subject of salt as a relish for stock, and ascertain tho quantity required for dif feront animals. While only approximate figures could bo arrived at in the numerous experiments mado to settlo this matter a scale was fixed uppn by this commission as tho minimum daily allowances for tho different animals in ordinary condition. In this a working ox or a milch cow is allowed two ounces of salt per diem. Repeated trials appeared to provo that the amount specified produced in milch cows the greatest flow of milk. Oxen fed the same amount presented sleek coats, while otliors receiving no salt were rough, mangy and ill conditioned. Tho scale in question allowed for fattening stall-fed oxen two and a half to four ounces of salt per day and for fattening pigs from one to two ounces. x< or sneep, from one-lmlf ounco to twothirds of an ounco was allowed. One ounce was set down as the daily portion for horses and mules. The figures above possess a practical value to feeders of stock, in that they represent the respective amounts best calculated to produce desirable results in the different animals named and give an idea of the amount required by each kind. On small farms with few animals jmH. can bo dealt out in quantities each day, but where herds and llocks are numerous, salt boxes and troughs becomo a necessity and are in any case a convenient and economical arrangement. These troughs or boxes ought, of course, to bo in sheltered sum uu |>uiulu wneru uuinimscnn have daily access to them. Some should be placed at elevations to suit horses and cows, and others set within reach of sheep. A plan in favor in the far West and which rccoimnends itself on thegronnd of economy is mixing salt and hardwood ashes in equal proportions, combined with a sullieient amount of water to make a solid lump or mass. These lumps are distributed in the trough, where, with diligent licking, each nnis mal gets a small quantity, the belief being that they will take in this form no more than they really require. In addition to tho fact that salt is neces00?V t/1 fl.n H.-ifl- ~ OII'W l/HO IMI111U U".

Leg weakness in fowls is caused either by old age or by tho size And weight of the body being more than tho legs can boar. In the latter case tho treatment should bo such as to givo strength. Citrate of iron dissolved in alo should bo added to the food, which must not be of too fattening a nature. Keep plenty of lime and crushed bones in tho poultry yard. In severe cases immerse the limbs in cold wator. The next two months is a hazardous timo for most kinds of domestic animals. They need to be watched very closely and not suffered to decline in fiesli, If they are out to pasture and the failure of the grass leaves them with insufficient nutriment to keep up their (lesh, it should bo promptly ascertained and they should be given somo kind of food to supply the deficiency. It is the poorest hind of cconomy imaginable to allow them to fall awav just before going into winter quarters. There is no profit in keeping old sheep, and jitst now is an excellent time to get rid of them.

The selected tubers must llrst be carefully peeled and tho "eyes" cut out, all "spongy" and discolored portions being also scrupulously pared away. Tho peeled tuber3 should thon be allowed to soak for a short time, first in plain and then in acidulated wator, sulphuric acid boing tho agent employed, and tho mixture should bo quite cold before tho potatoes aro put into it. The next and most important nart of tlvo process is that of boiling the , vegetables in diluted sulphuric acid fot a considerable time. The variety and age of the vegetable itself, the time for which it is subjected to the action of the acid, and especially the strength of tho latter, all are matters of great importance to tho object in view as affecting tho quality of the . preparation. Treated in this way the entli'e substanco. of tho potatoes hardons and bccomcs 1 less pervious. When "done" they are ' to bo taken out and washed in a stream 1 of first warm and afterward cold 1 water, the subsequent drying process being in all instances a slow and gradual one. Potato ivory thus prepared is not very unlike the ordinary "vegetable" kind, but it is said to bo of a moro oven "grain" as well as easier to turn, while it is not so liable to split 1 when exposed to tho inlluenco of a very 1 dry atmosphere* 1 Potato ivory is of a creamy whito tint, hard, durable and olastic, it being even adapted, it is stated, for tho manufacture of billiard balls. There is no difficulty in dyeing or coloring tho material either during tho process of preparation or afterward, and altogether it would seem tha', this new product is ono which is capable of an immense numbei of useful applications. To its other good qualities it adds that of bein.tr exceedingly chean. 1 We should have said before that the ( sulphuric acid used must be quite free from impurity, even traces of nitric or < hydrochloric acid being detrimental.?
