DEHORNING DANGEROUS BULLS.
Every hull should he dehorned. He j
m&v never httvo shown himself vicious, o
but It is not S?fc to trust him wun sucu .
dangerous weapons as * pa>r of sharp
horns. And after the horns an^off, loo? ^
a hare 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 of! the 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
inakc the best milkers, and their bull
calves need careful watching to keep
them from becoming ugly when they arc
old enough.
POOR CONDITION OF A HORSE.
Poor condition is commonly due to J
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 off through the kidneys
iti excess and cause disturbance of
those organs; hence a poor condition is
generally accompanied by some urinary
digestion must be improved, and alterative
and t6nic medicines should be
given. Treat the auimul as follows:
Give a brisk purgative, such as a pound
of Epson salts; then give iu ;brau mash
once a day one dram each of powdered j
Peruvian hark, sulphate of iron, and ;
iodide of potassium. I t
STONE BOAT WITH I'OI.E AND BOX. I
I use a stonchoat with pole to it for , I
moving manure such seasons as this, and f
in spring. 1 put pieces across each end '
long enough to extend a foot or more '
each side of the boat, then place rather 1
still boards a foot wide on the ends of
the crosspicccs. The boards extend front
even with the forward end to a foot be- '
hind the boat. Then 1 put two boards (
the same width each end of the sideboards;
bolt the whole rig together, and (
you can take oil.or put on whole in a few
minutes. Have worn out a number of
> boats since making it, drawing stones,
etc. Have managed to pvit it on all new
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 refuse under the
sheep. Whenever there is sigus of the ;
manure heating, it has to go to the
planting-held, regardless of outside sur-t
rounding*.;?Nrw York Tribune.
VAUIATION IN SI BSOIL.
There is much difference in character
of the subsoil as in that nearer the surface,
and the value of land largely de- (
pends on what underlies the usual depth \
of plowing. For the small grains^**;*.? t
cially winter wheat, turniug up the sub- 1
soil is often an advantage, >as .iVwill, root ;
good wheat lands, contain more of thrf'

exhaustion. But for.corn
is generally- unwise, as it turns vegetable '
mold too far below the for the
corn roots to reach early in 5,tjje seasoij,. :
unless the surfaicfc

way for corn, and also for potatoes, is to c
use a subsoil plow, \vhieiiv,tintilsp jup Slit, r
hard undersoil, but dojfrfr nftftnpjy 'i [\

^ 4 CARE OF STOCK. * ' " ? ''t
As the season is now at. hand, after 1
the unusually open weather, when the | 1
utmost care must be taken of all live
stock (I include all animal life on the f
farm), the prudent farmer will not trusf. f
his cattle ami horses to the care. of a . s
chore hoy or a person who hasr^o capital t
invested, and who cares norlilifg for the f
well-being of the animals under his
^V*urfr*?
fc>~. I c
How many of vis have seen thc_miser- | ,
able condition of the farm yards of a j
certain class of farmers, who from sickv-.i
iiess or other cause are unable to person'-' |
ally attend to their stock during the
winter. Doors off tl.|Cir hints' jqhbvcla |
and forks broken, manure almost "block
ing up the entrance to stables and every'-" '
thing having a most terrible look to one ,
accustomed to order and puuetuajiiy. j
! If a farmer is too idle or too ill to at- 1
tend to the barn yard himself, cannot
afford a proper hand to do so, he
should not keep any live stock during '
the winter. It is iohntdiiKtif leave poor ?
animals dependent bti bdys"or'ihorc tnen
to attend to, as, with few exceptions, 1
they will not do it, and the" ^fesdlt is sc-' *'
rious loss to the owners.* ,?|fc _ ^
I consider the winter management of .
stocks as the of. the
see the poor cattl#r'fflMdled in fence
corners, stables untf&fr&rl nnd entire
places bearing the t$j}&hince of desolation
or poverty. Aside from feeding

spriug, as larch, willow, and most small
fruits, would better be moved in autumii;
but if this work was neglected at that
time, then attend to it soon after winter
rrost is out of the soil. After vegetatiou
once becomes active in any plant the risk
of removal is greatly heightened. This
is the cause of death of the larches and of
so many of our hardy herbaceous plants
moved late in spring. The other extreme
is represented by the conifers and mag.
nolia family. Their buds start very late
in the season, and we reasonably suppose
i considerable amount of heat requisite
to rouse vegetation. Consequently, all
Midi trees and plants may be removed
ifter much of our spring work has received
attention. Indeed, practice has
demonstrated that late removal in all such
coses is a benefit ; success is then much
more certain than if attempted earlier.
The peculiar fleshy roots of magnolias
will not emit new fibres unless the sap is

*nd a season of rest, when recently removed

into consideration, autumn is preferable
lo spring for transplanting most deciduous
trees. Stone fruitjS, however, seem to be
in exception, unless moved in early fall,
is it is imperative for them to form fresh
lores to he enabled to withstand the sc
rerity of the following winter. Generally,
nore difficulty is experienced in trans
unnting cherries lhau any other of our
ruit trees, and more than usual care should

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Always hatch cj.>gs from healthy fowls,
!ggs of fair size.
The clematis is a favorite climber with
:vcrybody who has grown it.
Provide good, dry quarters for the
rwes during the lambing season.
Plenty of good feed and fresh air is
better than carding for the cow.
If your pullets do not lay they are
probably too fat; feed less grain.
In four-foot rows it will take about
3000 asparagus plants to the acre.
Hay for horses ought to be of the
juality; it should neverlie overripe.
Equal parts by weight of corn and
rits grouud together make a good grain
ration for a cow.
As no two animals arc alike, it is wise
Lo consult their specinl appetites and desires'when
feeding them.
1 Tiexsiue. that there are no cracks or
knot-holes in the hen-house through
wl>iob the.cold winds can whistle.
No matter about the tine points of the
ow for the dairy, if the milk-pail and
iie churn show that she is all right.
The general opinion is that cows improve
until they are seven or eight years
>ld. It pays to take carc of the heifers.

It is a waste of cash product to feed a

hanges so as to call for solid food, and
it is a mistake to so feed it after it. is ten
lays old. Warm skimmed milk and a
little oatmeal are considered much better.
Is your cellar frost proof ? Kerosene

I Josus
nUel^ltli people, and such a cri^wd about
(he door that no one ran come near (Mark
if., 1, 2), and Jeeus is preaching the Word
unto them. Just what tie talked about we
! may infer from His discourses, which are
j more fully recorded; let each one search and
sec.
"There were Pharisees and doctors of the
' law sitting bv, which were come out of every
town of Galilee. and Judon, and'. Jerusalem "
So that here was gathered n contention of all
Ihe hading and influential religious people of
I (he land, and they were beinj' addressed by
j this humble cariienter of Nazareth upon
topics with which (hoy ought to bo very familiar,
and of which the wonder in their eyes
) was that lie slictild know anything.
"And the ] tower of the Lord was present to
I heal them " But they had come for no such
| purpose; physically they were not sick, and
I spiritually w ore tliey not perfect, nod did not
I nil (teonle look to tlicm for wisdom and light?
} AVIiy should it l>o written that there was
healing for thein? The answer is fully given
in the eight woes of Matt, xxiii., whore the
| Great Physician deserities their ease as He
raw it. Hut they are deaf and blind, they
will not hear nor see, the/ come seeking no
favors from Him. and they go as they came
deriving no beueflt from the power of the
f/ord.
19. "And, behold, men brought in a lied a
mail which was taken with a palsy." Mark
1 say. that four n ill?ail il 1 I . Ilia trouble ,
I ha was utterly helpless, all un1
done, not a thing could he do for himself.
I Aim inev sought to bring him in, ami to
lay him before Him." They realized their
j friend's helpless condition, they were sorry
] for liiin, they believed Jesus could heal him. |
! their sorrow for him took a very practical .
turn and they determined to bring him to
Jesus.
1!? -'They went upon the housetop, and I
let him down through the tiling, with his i
touch, into the midst before Jesus." The (
discouragements were many and great. It
seemed simply impossible to"get their friend
1 lo Jesus, audit would not bo strange if some '
, of the four urged a return, hoping for an- |
' other opportunity. but some one or more of
! the four had the rijrht, spirit, the spirit which |
I laughs at impossibilities and cries: "It shall >
be done." Tlie way to the flat housetop was '
not blocked, and this grand soul says: "If '
we can't get there in the natural way, I
through the door, we'll get there in an unnatural
way, through the roof." When wo
attempt to come to Jesus or bring any one
else to Him, how otten we encounter what
seem to be insuperable hindrances, and how
seldom we sec the perseverance of these four;
but their's is llie right way.
20. "And when lie saw their faith, Hesaid
unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.''
The great people present may have fell like
1 objecting very decidedly to this rude inter
ruption, or some hateful ones may have
laughed in their hearts at the meeting being j
thus disturbed; but the quiet calmness and
dignity of Jesus would overawe them, and as
all was still again, the holpless man lying on
hiscouch in their midst, these most unexpected
words fell from the preacher's lips; "Man,
thy sins are forgiven thee!" As trie skillful
physician seeks carefully the source of the
more manifest symptoms, the seat of the disease,
and attends to that knowing that if the
cause is removed all will be welh so Jesus
goes at once to tlie cause of all sickness ami
suffering and death, and in the caso of this
man grants him first his greatest need, the
: Miiniveiie>s?n ins sins. ai mrsauie lime uc
j indicates to the Pharisees their need.
21. "'Who is this which sj>eakcth blaspheI
imcs'' \\ ho can forgive sins but God alone7"
! Thus these sill-sick Scribes and Pharisees be (Can
to reason in their hearts, not knowing
that God Iliinsolf stood in their midst and
uttered these words.
T?. "Jesus perceived their thoughts (R. V.,
I reasonings) said unto them: Whatreason ye
in your hearts?" They must have been
startled at having the thoughts of their
hearts thus told out before all, and one would
think that this would convince them that
Jesus was more than man.
23. "Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be
forgiven thee: or to say. Rise up and walk*" i
I I5aeh was equally easy to God manifest in the I
| ilesii, but from i'neir standpoint simply to
heal the man of his sickness would not imply
I the same power of God as -to^raiit forgivc1

deer, but instead a faeH^tgolden-haired, I
oiuc-eyeu, now-line uriH^iri, apparently
about six years old. He only saw her
for a moment. Then she ran, with a
startled cry, directly toward him and the
tree and vanished. Not more than a
doien feet separated them when the
fairy-like apparition disappeared.
The puxr.led hunter spra*g over the
spreading roots to find the spipte. There
was nothing in sight. Suddenly his wonderings
were interrupted by a soft voice
behind him: \
"Good evening, sir." i
He turned and saw in the dafk hollow
of the big tree a woman, holding up a
deerskin curtain. The gray skin was so
near the color of the mossy trunk that he
had not noticed it. Now ho saw that
the curtain hid a big hollow, from which
the woman had come, while from behind
her dress showed the faces of several
children, among them th?\t of the pretty
child that had so startled him.
He answered the greeting, and, to cover
hia Mimriio alkufbii/a Wink nt
dipping
looked around and hw that the place
was as nicely fitted up ?s any rancher's
cabin. When the hunters returned
to town they reported their find, and the ,
f>an FrnnciBco Examiner correspondent ,
went out to see thfc family that lived in a (
hollow tree. He had no difficulty at all ,
n locating the big redwood from the di ections
they gave him.
A thin line of smoke rising from the
mrc of the tree helped toguiaethc news- j
paper man to the spot.
It was all as the hunter had described
it, and before the curtain of deerskin
stood the mother of the family frying
venison chops on a little stove on a wheelbarrow.
The tree in which their home was ,
made was the largest in the clump, i
Thirty or forty feet above the ground it j
forks into three branches, each of which t
Is h tree hv itself. At the ground the J
main trunk is probably 60 feet in circumference.
y
Some time a fli \WfFfl^Ued among its J
roots, and this fire ate into the redwood
and burned out the hollow. It was perhaps
14 feet wide and 0 or 10 feet deep.
An axe had cut its corners smooth and
cleared the walls of charcoal.
Shelves of redwood stakes held cook- (
ing utensils, and a looking-glass and a
rough bed and crib, also of redwood,
made up the furniture 6f the room. Out- ^

How Policemen Walk.

A St. Louis policeman said to a Globe- i
Democrat reporter :
"I saw a man laugh the other day as
he stood on the sidewalk nod watched a I

with great caution from the street to the
curbstone. Tha ?Mtn Wis laughing at

policeman. The policeman had been on
a walking beat for years jhad experience
in walking and was avoiuug an ankle or
toe 6prain Little troubles like that
with the feet lay up almost as many
policemen as disease* . They don't hurt
their feet when they .Arc chasing a man
or running to somebody's assistance.
']"hen the muscles and tendons of the feet
arc tightened and as elastic as rubber,
llut it is in the slow wnlking of the beat
that the mischief is clone to the feet. 1
Muscles and tendons are relaxed and unprepared
for a strain. A step on a rolling
Btoue. too heavy a wcicht on a hie toe as
the man mount# from the paving to the
sidewalk, and crack goes something in
the foot. Pain and swelling follow ; the
shoe ennot Ik; worn, walking is agony,
