Clover Seed. j If the fariaer -wants a crop of clover seed, lie should cut the first crop as ] early as possible, says Hoard's Dairy- \ man. The clover plant is a biennial, i That means that it takes two years for i it to blossom and seed. Now, if the j first crop is allowed to stand until it : ^ blossoms, and the seed commences to j form, there will be but very little seed 1 in the second crop. The point is, to turn all the seeding instinct and power of the root into the second crop. ( i Hence, the necessity of cutting the ( nrst crop mucn earner inau is usuuuj done, when it is cut for hay alone. Preventing Egg-Eating:* If an egg is broken the^hens will eat | it, and it is by eggs being broken that the hens learn the vice, as they never h eat eggs unless they first find one f broken. The only way to prevent the hens from eating eggs after they once begin is to make a nest with a top, compelling the hen to walk in to reach the nest, and have the box raised ten inches from the floor, so that the hen cannot stand near the box to eat the eggs. "When she goes on the nest she cannot do any harm, as she must come off and stand up to eat the eggs. Rules For Chicken Raisers. P. H. Jacobs, in the Poultry Keeper, gives a few rules that should be often ^ referred to by chicken raisers: Ten hens in a house 10x10 feet are enough. The yard should be at least ten times as large as the floor of the ' house. Ten weeks from shell to market is the time allotted a broiler chick. Ten cents a pound is about the average price of hens in market for the whole year. Ten cents should feed a chicken ten weeks, and it should then weigh two pounds. Ten months a year is usually the highest limit of time during which a hen will lay. Ten hens with one male is about the proper proportion. Ten quarts of corn, or its equivalent, should feed' a hen ten weeks, if she is of a large breed, but ten qi^rts for three months in a fairer proportion. Ten pounds is a good weight for males of the larger breeds, one year old. Ten eggs is the average number to each pound. Ten flocks, each consisting of ten hens, are enough for an acre. Ten chicks, when just hatched, weigh about one pound. Ten hens should layabout 1000 eggs during the year. This allows for some laying more than 100 eggs each, while others may not lay so many. Moulting. From July to December is the moulting or shedding period for the poultry. It takes about one hundred days from the time a hen first commences to moult until the process is completed. Some hens will commence to moult much earlier than others, thus finishing before the cold weather sets in. This is rlnoiroKln o c col/lnm lov Tti J UOOii MUlVj UO UViUVUl ll*J during the moult, or the larger part of it, therefore if they commence early, thus finishing early, it will be a decided gain, for then they can be gotten in a laying condition before cold weather, and we all know what that means. The feathers are composed largely of nitrogen and mineral matter. The first process is the loosening gtage, when the feathers loosen and drop out, at times leaving the bird almost naked, thus cold and disease (from exposure) are apt to follow. Hens should be carefully housed if the weather is at all cold or damp. When the new feathers commence to come in it causes a great drain on the hen's body, especially of such substances as goes to furnishing nitrogen and mineral matter. Corn, wheat, etc., furnish the hen principally with carbon (fat), etc., while grass, bugs, worms, etc., furnish the nitrogen and mineral matter. Thu6 we see that the foods best adapted to the moulting sea soil are me nitrogenous ioous. ai will be seen from th<> ^bove that at this period the bens should have unlimited range, so that they eau themselves gather a good supply of such articles as they need.?The Epitomist. Lifting Large Rocks Out of the Ground. Field boulders are usually buried either wholly or in part in the surface of the ground. To pull such a boul^ der out of the ground requires an enor|P mous amount of power, unless much hand digging is given beforehand. The sketch herewith shows a way to lift the stone as it is dragged out by a team of horses or oxen. The inclined WAT TO MOVE HRAVI STONES. stick can be placed as near to the 'boulder as is practicable and as it rises to the perpendicular it of course lifts the stone.

How to Grow Pickles. Before we can think of pickling on- ! cumbers we must grow them, and that j is not always an easy matter, especial- j ]y where the blight (leaf-blight, j bacterial blight) is a sure annual visitor. This disease often (perhaps i usually, here and in many other localities) sweeps through the patches, first taking a plant here and there, and conL tinuing its attacks until every plant in A the patch,* long before the end of the V season, has succumbed. The way is r ~vto plant on strictly new soil, prefer-1 nVilv snrnp sandv or muckv loam, rather 1 moist than otherwise, but thoroughly i drained. Persistent spraying with! Bordeaux mixture seems to have good | cffeet in keeping foliage healthy, and ; if Paris green is added to it, in keep-' ing the beetles in check. Good ration and repeated hoeing are lutely necessary, but the vii these operations, as well as in pi should be disturbed as little a 9ible. It is the large numfc marketable pickles -which is v rather than large size of the indi pickle. The size most in dein three inches in length. The promptly we pick the three-incl the more pickles the area will fu and therefore the greater the r and profits. An experienced { says in Michigan Farmer: "The larger the number groi a given territory the more profit, they should be picked very close bulk of the crop should be c smallest or medium size. Those looked can be utilized, but the the better, and none must be al to mature. Care must be taken 1 turb the vines as little as possil this regard children with t'neii feet are preferable to grown p and our experience leads us to t that children can, quite as ea crrown-UDS. be taueht to pick clean." r- ^ A Handy Farm Botler.

Sick Hcadache. w In a talk on "sick headaches," a ^ ^ doctor says that there are three things w . which must be attended to in order to ^ relieve the pain. The light in the C( room must be darkened, bo that the ^ | eyes. -wh?ch are so sensitive during | an attack of "sick headache," will be ^ relieved from any strain. The temperature must be kept even, although the patient may prefer a lower one | than is ordinarily comfortable. The n hands and feet are usually cold, at .a least during a part of an attack of sick ^ headache. When this period prevails, ; a hot mustard foot-bath, soaking the hands in hot water, and putting a -y w'flrm niera of flannel about the bodv. _ are often of inestimable service in ^ lessening the pain and shortening the w duration of the attack. While employ- g] ing these measures, a muatard leaf? r( Buch as your druggist sells in little tin boxes?applied to the back of the w neck will be found to be a valuable accessory. Persons who suffer habitually from "sick headaches" can nearly always predict the advent of an at- ^ tack; and if they can, an emetic of hot water, followed by a laxative dose of fr salts or magnesia, might save the ^ pain they otherwise may suffer. It is, as a matter of routine domestic ip treatment, a good plan to wash out , y the stomach in the beginning of the u( attack, even when it ha9 not been an- ^ ticipated. This may be done without 01 much discomfort by swallowing enough lukewarm water to give the stomach a r{ feeling of tension. The rejection of 0( this clears the stomach of ifiucousand m irritants which may tend to aggravate the complaint. ^ V-ttrgfr- w Heat or Sunstroke. c< Direct exposure to the rays of the sun is not necessary to cause heat- Q] stroke.
