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

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. Doors off tljcir hinges', jqhbvols
and forks broken, manure almost lilock
ing up the entrance to stables and every-'
thing having a most terrible look to one ; j
accustomed to order and puiK'tuaJiiy. ,v !
If a farmer is too idle or too ill to at- 1
tend to the barn yard himself, ai)d can i 1
not afford a proper hand to do so, he |
should not keep any Jive stock during J
the winter. It is inbu'WiKftif leave poor ;<
animals dependent on boys"or chore tnen
to attend to, as, with few exceptions, j

They are of tiegad-fly,

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(
