In feeding cows there is less danger in any departure from the strict rules of feeding, and yet cows, although the milk ucts us a safety valve to let ofT the excessive pressure in this way, are subject to tlumage by infractions of these rules. A cow, of any breed, has more or less ability to dispose of food above the natural requirements for the maintenance of the system. The excess of food is disposed of in the production of milk, and it is the business of the feeder to discover the profitable ability of each cow in the herd j in this respect. (Tows vary very much in this natural ability. Sonic arc vcrita- | ble mills in this respect, taking in a ! practically unlimited grist ami turning j out a corresponding product. One cow especially is reported to have eaten sev- ! cnty-nine pounds of grain food in a day, j and yielded seven pouudsof butter daily. I This, perhaps, is an unexampled instance of the disposal of food, but the inevita l>Te result happened -it killed tin: cow. ! The foo<l was more than could lie health- ^ fully disposed of. Cows are not exempt from the ill results of overfeeding, and the safe way is to find what cau he done with due regard to health nud maintain that point constantly while the product calls for it. But, even then, there is danger of an accumulation of unassimilated products in the animal which produce or make the cow liable to milk fever, tuberculosis, garget, or lung fever in the end.?New York Time*.

If the best quality of fruit ??( > I sc cuied, and it is only the br?t quality that pays the best profit, it i- very necessary to keep the soil at least reasonably rich. While in many cases it may he sufficient ly rich when the trees are first, planted, yet the growing of several crops while the trees are making their grooving, with the growth of grass that usually follows and the crops of fruit that have been grown after the trees commenced bearing, must, to a considerable extent, have decreased the available fertility. It should be understood that the growing of trees anil maturing of a good crop of fruit draws nearly or ijuite as heavily upon the available plant food in the soil as that of any other crop, and it i<. iniTciure, jusi as necessary 10 apply manure to the orchard, if the fertility of the soil is to be maintained, as to the soil in which the field crops arc grown. In nearly all cases the best way of applying manure is to have the ground wc II plowed and then scatter the manure broadcast as evenly as possible; then working into the soil with the harrow or cultivator. Jlut, with the orchard, as with the meadows, it is not always desirable or best to plow up; and then a good plan is to use only well-rotted manure, and make it tine and scatter evenly ovci the surface. Ashes are a good fertilizer to use in the orchard,but tin-manure and ashes should uot be applied together, or there will be more or less loss of ammonia. When the quality of tin manure h insufficient, considerable benefit may be derived by scattering under the trot in far out as the leaves and branches extend. It is not a good plan to pile it up around the trunks of the trees. Whatever material is used will he !>< -u scattered broadcast over the soil, under the trees first, and over the whole surface when the nunntitv <>(' m-.i.-,.r ricicnt. The roots extend on! a < om i. I crable distance, and the trees will lie able to derive a larger amount of l> neiit if the manure is scattered broadest. With yonng trees the notour' should not be allowed to come in contact wit it the roots. In manuring (rccs when setting them out, the manure should he worked into the soil thoroughly before tilling in around the roots. Oncof the poorest plans of applying manure to young trees U to , throw the manure in the bottom of the place prepared for the tree and then set i in the tree and fill in soil. So far as posble the manure should always lie incur i poratcd with the soil.? Western UumK | HOW TO PKKrAICK KOU SOU IN'. WIJiCAT. I I find, says a writer in Form. Stork <unl Home, that after a field has been well plowed it has t-o be made solid again, by lota of harrowing and cultivating, before % wheat crop will grow to perfection. | ' ' <% In proof of this I will call attention to where there has been a farm road across a plowed field in the fall or spring, or even after scediug and before the wheat comes up. This strip will usually have twice as much wheat?earlier and better in every respect?as the land one foot from the edge of the road. The road was packed so hard that seeder hoes nor harrow hoes could work it loose or mellow, nor had the wheat anv holes to fall into and get covered deeply; in fact, if mc -strip tioes not get extra wor* not over one-half of the seed is covered at all, and that which is covered has only, from one-eighth, one-<|unrtc> or one-half* inch of soil over it; the one-half that has no covering mildews and rots in a few days, while the rest comes up, grows most vigorously and gives big results. Hence it follows that any manipulation of the whole field, calculated to get as near j the conditions of the road bed, as a seed j bed for the wheal, must be advantageous. The soil needs to be worked and parked as tightly as possible before the seeder is used, so that the seed cannot and will not get covered deeply, for it is the ' kernals that have one-half inch or less of covcriug that make the big stools of from Hvc, nine to thirteen stalks and I heaus from one grain of seed; and where these large stools grow they choke oil as many more of other kernels that were < planted deeply, which come up weak and spindling ami never come to a lit ad. if it is all stooled and spread with the usual heavy seeding, the yield should be from 100 to 200 bushels per aere. Many farmers wish to sow on broken, rough ground, so that the seed may fall in the holes and hollows and get covered deeply to protect and help against drouth, as they claim, but there cannot bo a greater mistake. Sow or plant as shallow as possible, and then as soon as it come- up it i makes a rank growth and goes to shading, because the kernel or grain is nearer the top of the ground where it can sprout I freely; as it makes top it will make roots , in proportion, and if you lnve done your part in the preparation of the soil, nature will take care ol the plant and -ee that the roots go down, if necessary, to ' gather moisture for strength and support 1 when the drouth comes. If any farui'T will 1:?kr liny well cultivated and liar| rowed spot of ground in tin* field orgarden in the sprint;, scatter some wheat I thinly in row before him, rover it by J treading it into the ground with his feet, ! getting about one-half inch of soil over it in the operation, I am sure lie will satisfy himself that to raise a good crop of wheat he wants it sown on smooth, solid soil, | with light covering. This compact condition of tin* soil is best secured by very ' thorough harrowing in the fall, then the heavy f ill rains and the fall and spring freezings and thawing* Help to settle till soil and make it solid, something like the road spoken of. Then annthei good ; harrowing both ways in th" spring before I the seed is put on makes it more compart, level arid smooth, and all of these ; conditions an the same as the road bed, for none of the scmIs ran get into lio!< > | and hollows, but must keep mar the top of the ground.

Natur once in a while makes a phool; but, az a general thing, pliools, like garments, are made tew order.

I have nlwus noticed one thing, when a person bekums disgusted with this world, and konkhules to withdraw from it, the world very kindly lets the person went. Woman hnz no friendships.

Since Hint time 1 havo had no return of Hie iheomntto , troubles, although frequently exposed to the Infln, encee that produeed former attacks. Several of my friends had a similar experience, and are Arm fh their ' conviction that S. S. S. brought a permanent cure. The searching power of this medicine is shown In the fact that it developed a scrofulous taint that was conspicuous in my blood over thirty years ago. and has removed Hie last trace of it.
