AGRICULTURAL. ' TOPICS OF INT KB EST RELATIVE - TO FARM AND OARDEN. DKHOIt.NINO DANOEROCB BULLS. Every bull should be dehorned. He may never have sliowu himself vicious, but it is not safe to trust him with such dangerous weapons as a pair of sharp | home. And after the horns are off, look * i?? a,? ?wmi. A butt" 1 a bare head may knock a man down and cause death almost as surely as goring. The fact, too, that dehorned bulls are sometimes ugly, destroys the force of the argument that taking off tho horns destroys the nervous energy on which the value of milking breeds largely consists. It is the class of cows that are most sensitive to good or bad treatment that inHKc me ncsr miiKcrs, ana incir null calves need careful watching to keep them from becoming ugly when they are old enough. roolt CONDITION OF A HORSE. Poor condition is commonly due to malnutrition; the food is either not properly digested or it is not assimilated; that is, it is diverted in the system from Its healthful disposition in nourishing the muscular tissue. The nitrogenous elements then pass oil through the kidneys in excess and cause disturbance of tfrqee organs; hcucc a poor condition is generally accompanied by some urinary digestion must be improved, and alterative nod tbnic medicines should be given. Trent the auimal as follows: f?ive a brisk purgative, such as a pound of Epson salts; then give iu ;-brau mash once a day one dram each of" powdered Peruvian liarlc. xtilnlujfr tif irnn ur*rl iodide of potassium. RTONEBOAT WITH POLE AND BOX. I use a stoiicboat with poie to it for moving manure sucli seasons as this, and in spring. I put pieces across each end long enougii to extend a foot or more each side of the boat, then place rather stiff boards a foot wide on the ends of the crosspicces. The boards extend from even with the forward end to a foot bohind the boat. Then I put two boards the same width each end of the sideboards; bolt the whole rig together, and you can take off or put on whole in a few j minutes. Have worn out a number of boats since making it, drawing stones, etc. Have managed to put it on all new I boats in a few minutes. Can take as large a load as on a sleigh or wagon. I feed all straw, cornstalks and hay in the racks, and put the icfuse under the sheep. Whenever there is sigus of the manure heating, it has to go to the planting-held, regardless of outside sur-, roundings..?Nor York Trilunt. ' V A 1<I AT ION IN SIBSOIL. There is much difference in character of the subsoil as in that nearer the surface, and the value of land largely depends on what underlies the usual depth of plowing. For the small g > eiaily winter wheat, turning up the subsoil is often an advantage, >as .iU-ryill, ccxv good wheat lands, contain more of .tluT 1111utTui piani. moii wmcn tnjs crop re-" quires than does that portion of the soil near the surface which has beenUillcd .to exhaustion. But for corn jJye^'pli^vMig is generally unwise, as it turns vegetable mold too far below the ^irfjiqp for the corn roots to reach early in seasorf, i unless the surfaefc^ | dressed with stable manure. The safer way for corn, and also for potatoes, is to use a subsoil plow, whieii?tji^te^ip/the hard undersoil, but dojfrifnfesnCTfcg >? j'J I the surface. This alfdws 'uif'nna water to penetrate the subsoil, enabling the potato to withstand drought.?American Cultivator. .v _. - r 1 V<i v 4 CAKE OF STOCK.' * '* *" As the season is now at hand, after the unusually open weather, when the I utmost care must be taken of all live stock (I include all animal life on the farm), the prudent farmer will not trutj. his rattle and horses to the care < of a chore hov or a person who has*nci raoital invested, and who cares nnrltiirg for the I well-being of the auimals uurlcr his charge. , How many of us have seen the?miser- ( able condition of the farm yards of a j certain class of farmers, who from sidy*..., 11 ess or other cause are unable to person" | ally attend to their stock during the winter.

TIME TO TBAMSrtAKT. | J -Tu~ spring, as larch, willow, and most small !. fruits, would better be moved in autumn ; \\ but if this work was neglected at that time, then attend to it soon after winter j " frost is out of the soil. After vegetatiou I * once becomes active in any plant the risk I |, of removal is greatly heightened. This j t< is the cause of death of the larches and of \ ^ so many of our hardy herbaceous plants ' moved late in spring. The other extreme i i is represented by the conifers and magnolia family. Their buds start very late " in the season, and we reasonably suppose a considerable amount of heat requisite h to rouse vegetation. Consequently, all j 1' such trees and plants may be removed j *' after much of our spring work has re- j v ccived attention. Indeed, practice has j h demonstrated that late removal in all such I " I cases is a benefit; success is then much n more certain than if attempted earlier. w | The peculiar fieshy roots of magnolias f{ will not emit new fibres uulcss the sap is j ' flowing freely; this lack frequently causes decay in these organs. As a rule, all u [evergreens evidentlv l? ? TTTrauSttTon state Detwecn active growth and a season of rest, when recently removed to new soil. Taking everything ,? into consideration, autumn is preferable to spring for transplanting most, deciduous tl trees. Stone fruiUs, however, seem to be P an exception, unless moved in early fall, as it is imperative for them to form fresh fibres to be enabled to withstand the sc- c< verity of the following winter. Generally, di more difficulty is experienced in trans ^ planting cherries thau any other of our 0j fruit trees, and more than usual care should ot be taken not to mutilate the roots as a ^ large proportion of the failures result from j" this cause alone.?New Yuri- Tribune. ,J( FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. ^ i nr Always hatch eggs from healthy fowls, at eggs of fair size. vh The clematis is u favorite climber with w] everybody who has grown it. be Provide good, dry quarters for the j ewes during the lambiug season.
