Tito Future of the Toad.
/
It is difficult to see at Gist what is the
relation that exists between toads and
railroads. Many persons, however, insist
that such a relation does exist and
that, it is a very intimate one indeed, as
they accuse the railronds of destroying
the toads. A man who is not very fond
of toads might think that there are
already too many of them, although agriculturists
do not look at it in the same
light. The toad is a great cater of
harmful insects, and it seems that in
many localities the toads are disappearing.
When the young toad is able to jump, 1
its principal amusement is to wander
arouud in cool places. Now, it often
happens that after a shower it goes to the
nearest railroad, climbs up the bank and
manages to reach the top rail, from
which it generally falls otJF on the op- 1
and tries to jump over the opposite rail,
but, being too small, itcanuot jump high 1
enough, and, in spite of its etlorts, is
imprisoned indefinitely between the two
rails, it uops along tlie roacl, but tlnally,
deprived of food and exhausted by its
unsuccessful ellorts, it dies. An engineer,
walking along a track not long ago, l
counted 300 emaciated bodies of toads in
a space of ten inetcr9. A 9tory is related
of an immense number of toads that fairly
blocked ajrailroad for several kilometers, f
the number beiug so great that the train (
could make no progress. f
These observations,though interesting, x
need to be generalized before one can t
admit that railroads nre really a cause of r
the extermination of the race of toads. t
In any case, we may be sure that, in v
spite of the usefulness of toads, thoy will j
exert no influence over the further de- u
relopmcnt of railroads. ? Nevt York v

now TO FEED Foil RICH MILK.
There can be no qucstiou among prac*
tical dairymen, however much scientiSo
meu may doubt it, that rich food will
produce rich milk?that is, food rich in
fat will add to the fat in tho milk. The
common practice among tho best dairymen
is to feed the cows fully with such
food as is given under ordinary circumstances,
and then either chango a part
of it or udd to it some other kind which
contains a largo quantity of fat. Thus,
a cow fed on clover hay, with as much
cornmeal as she will eat, may have two 1
juarts of the meal changed for two
quarts of cottonseed meal, which contains 1
nearly three times as much fat as the
cornmeal. This change of food will al- *
most always result iu the production of

LEARNING TO WALK.
During the winter after the rush of
the work is over is a good time to break
tho colts. Get them accustomed to
light work in tho winter so that if need
be they can bo used to somo extent during
the more pressing work in the spring.
One item is of great importance iu breaking
tho colts, and that is to train them
to walk well. A larger part of the farm
work is done in a wnlk and it will make i
considerable difference in the amount of
work done whether the team are good
walkers or not. One item in doing this
is to only work them with horses that are
good walkers. One of the best plans of
managing a colt is to commence walking
it with a good gaitcd but stead?
going horeo that will take whatever load
they nrehiiohod to without difficulty. If,
however, he is slow, the colt will soon
learn tho same gait, and little carc in
this respect at the start will make a considerable
difference in a short time. Bo
sure at first that the horse used in breaking
the colt is naturally a good walker
and then sec that the colt is well broken
beside him and an important point will
have becu gaiucd.?Chioijo Times.
rni'NINC. TREES IN WINTER.
Notwithstanding many say that winter
pruuing of trees is injurious, I contend
that it is not. If done wheu the wood
is not frozen, aud the wounds (any over
one fourth of an inch in diameter) bo
cemented over or cveu coatod with
.boiled ljusecd oil, thcro is no danger of
ntack spots or tho flat headed borer takrinjL

the wounds can bo done a month after

this fall. There is anothor advanJfcge
-in pruujng now, whore the rabbits
are plenty, as the green brush will give
them something to bark, instead of their
attacking young trees, much to their m
juity oft times. If young trees are property
trained from their infancy there
meed he no other tool needed than a
good pocket knife. The pruning of
trees iu June, as some recommend, IdenAir
most emphatically, as from all my
oftperience, whero it becomes necessary
from the effects of storms, the result was
injurious. It stands to reason that when
a tree is in full growth that any foliage

cannot he othcrwiso thau injurious. ?

HOW TO DRESS CALVES.
"Calves from three to six weeks old,
and weighing about 1Q? trrsny
from eighty to 120 pounds, arc the moat
desirablo weights for shipment," said a
lending denier in Fancuil Hnll Market.
"You ask the way to dress calves," said
he; 'there is only one way. The head
should be cut squarely oft. In some cases
the head is scalded and dressed and sent
to market, but iu most cases is overlooked
and left at home. The legs should
be cutoff at the knee joint. The entrails
should be removed, excepting tho kidneys.
The liver, lights and heart should
he takeu out. Cut the carcass open from
the neck through the entire length,, from
head to crotch. If this is done they are
uot so apt to sour and spoil during hot
weather. Do not wash the carcass out
with water, but with a dry cloth. Do not
ship uutil the animal heat is entirely out
of the body, and never tie the carcass up
in a bag, as this keeps the air from circulating,
and makes the meat more liable
to become tainted
"Mark for shipment by fastening a
shipping tag to tho hind leg. Calves
and are liable to be seized by the health
officers as being unfit for food. Dealers,
too, are liable to be fined if found selllug
these sluiiks, for violation of the law.

IIAUMNO OUT MANURE. <
After tho harvest work is finished 1
ind the plowing for the seed has been 1

Mature plants for winter work.
Harvest ice and fuel crops oarly. j
Feed and water stock rogularly. j
Arrange to farm better next year. \ '
Lay your plans for next year's work.
See that each fowl gets its sharo of
feed.
Carefully save all the meat scraps for
your fowls.
Now crowd the feed if you are fatten*\
ing beef, pigs or poultry.
Never allow your horses to stand in
the wind or cold unblnnkctcd.
Remembar that und, nmnt and Hko
substances arc essential to fowls.
Watch prices and prospects, and
market your produce opportunely.
Wiso stock raisers now try to grow
meat rather than to accumulate fat.
Land plaster, carbolic acid and kerosene
arc all good for the chicken house.
Do not forget that liens learn to eat
eggs by having the broken ones loft in
the nest.
Do not neglect to place clean, puae
water every day in accessible places for
for your fowls.
Starving or freezing an animal is one
way to render farming.both unprofitable
and unpopular.
Make tho most profitable use possible
of all by products, for in those often lie
the profits of farming.
Organization and co-operation are
potent factors for farmers; givo thorn
your encouragement and support.
Alternately starving and gorging a pig
does not make "a streak of fat and a
streak of lean." Feed regularly.
Twenty-five or thirty pounds of granulated
EUgar syrup is sufiiciont winter and
spring food for one colony of bees.
In no place will it pay better to feed
out refuse, cabbage herds and other
green stuff than in the poultry yard.
While generally it is not advisable to
mako a specialty of hogs, yet, nevertheless,
they can be kept ou every farm with
profit.
Even in winter it will be found best
to change the materials in the nests occasionally,
in order to keep them from
becoming foul.
If pigs arc to be sold before they are
matured care should be taken to have
them in a good growing condition in
order to realize fino prices.
On hardly one farm in ten is any provision
made for saving liquid manure.
The nrinoinnl reason whv fall niom n >
? -r? * ryw "*v
not more profit&blo is because sufficient
care is not taken to receive a healthy,
thrifty growth during the winter.
Hogs never should be allowed to sleep
on the manure piles, it induces mange as
well as an unhealthy condition in the system,
that it will bo found best to avoid.
Let fowls now have full sway among
the grass, shrubs and orchards. They
will enjoy the exerciso and make havoc
among the grubs, slugs, worms and other
insects that are injurious to vegetable life.
Moreover the diet is cheap and healthy.
Covering strawberries, spinach, kale,
pansics, etc., should now be attended to
at once if it has not been done already.
Bear in mind that the covering should be
light, evergreen boughs are the beat;
salt sedge or thatch next, and coarae,
strawy horse manure next. .
now urnigntea most Tarmcrs would be
to own a cow that would give a pound
of butter every day fur a year! But
scch cows are not difficult to find if

perhaps not one in a hundred, to find
out what either his best or his poorest
cow is worth to him.
