+ ' t Breeding Geese. Breeding geese do not need special feeding or care. They will keep thern '* celves in prime condition ir given unlimited range of meadow where they can have ample exercise. A small feed of oats at sunset is often given with benefit Green Bone. Green cut bone undoubtedly increases the egg production, and it ^ also materially reduces the demand for grain, but bone meal, containing as it does but little water, ground so that it is about the size of a kernel of wheat, is always ground from dry bones, and while it helps egg production some is not so digestible and is not to be compared with green cut bone. Light Horses Need Action. Action is extremely important in light horses. It should be straight and true. At the trot it should be what is known as the straight line trot, no wabbling from one side to the *vfV?rv?? ?-\t> oTi-in<rincr fhn fppt TVlP PC f VI VAAV JkVVV * tion from behind should be straight, the feet picked up smartly, hocks well flexed and the feet or both fore and v hind legs at each step placed immediately in front of the former position. Salt for Cattle. Prof. Henry says that as nutritious food, such as grass, etc., increases the appetite, one and two-thirds ounces of salt per day should be allowed for cattle, and that when fattening them the largest amount named should be # given them. This is a matter that is - often neglected,, and much loss comes from such neglect. Some cattle growers place rock salt where cattle can get it when they want it, and claim it the best way to salt them. Meal and Corn for Nine Years. v ' ' In a series of nine years' experimen4 tal hog feeding at the Wisconsin Station Prof. Henry's last report shows that when corn is worth 40 cents a bushel, there is a saving of 2.2 cents a bushel when the corn is ground and fed as meal, and when it is 50 cents a bushel the saving by grinding 2.8 cents per bushel, and at > 75 cents a bushel for cor^i the saving t by grinding is a little over 4 cents a bushel. That station has made continuous and exhaustive feeding tests to show the difference in feeding whole shelled and ground corn. These experiments were confined to shelled : corn, and not corn and cob meal. ? Feeding tests show much larger savings when cob and corn are ground ^ and fed together. Curing Hcrse of Bad Habit. I notice that your veterinary advised placing a muzzle on a horse or mule to keep him from gnawing the woodwork of his stall, writes a correspondent of Rural New Yorker. This would be a troublesome remedy, as it would have to be removed every time the animal was fed. I have found that by painting the woodwork with coal tar the worst wood-gnawing horses would never bite it afterwards. The tar should be put on while hot An old broom or whisk brush may serve as a paint brush. I have also found a way to cure a horse biting his halter strap } or rope by boiling the rope in which a bar of cheap washing soap has been dissolved. This remedy tried on several horses which I have owned never failed. One horse, when I first got him would bite a heavy rope in two almost as soon as tied. A small soaped rope cured him completely. That was nearly ten years ago and it has not been necessary to tie him with a chain since. > Feeding the Cows. At a reading club of farmers in New fork recently Prof. Wing of Cornell University said in his address: "We do not keep animals for the pleasure of their company and it takes ^ about three-fourths of all the food for maintenance ration?that is, to keep the animal alive. Now this one-fourth that goes toward a productive product, if the feed is cut down, cuts off first from this one-fourth productive ration, and correspondingly cuts off the profits. Later study has shown that the balancing of rations down to small percentages, formerly thought neces* sary, need not be done for good results. Food rich in protein, such as gluten meal and dried brewers' grains, have largely reduced the price of foods like oilmeal, which was largely used to supply a proper ratio. The bulk of the ration is an important matter. Thoee animals that chew the cud should have a reasonably full stomach for the digestive operations to go on -> In the best manner. The alfalfa plant comes nearest to being a food perfect in its feeding value, although perhaps a little rich in protein. "If a cow is a profitable one, that is, a good milk producer, it can be determined within a month, and if she is not more profitable than the average ? cow of the state of New York, which produces only 4,400 pounds of milk a year, it is not a profitable orcfc. The cow that does not produce G,@00 pounds cf milk Jd forty weeks is not worth ? J ^ 7 keeping, and if the milk is low in butter fat, less than 4 percent the animal should produce 8,000 pounds to b?> 3 profitable one." Treating Old Apple Trees. German newspapers have been publishing articles describing experiments looking to the improvement of declining apple orchards of the Vaterland. A brief outline of the experiments has been forwarded to the department of commerce and labor by Consul Mahin of Nottingham. Of five long rows of apple trees, he writes, one row was left untreated and the four others had different combinations of manurings. The row left unmanured gave 104 pounds of apples per tree during the five years from 1900 to 1904, both inclusive, and in the fifth year (1904), which was the year of maximum yield for the entire orchard, the weight of the apples per tree was 55 pounds and the number 294. The best results from manuring was obtained by a complete manure, consisting of 11-8 pounds of sulphate of ammonia, 11-2 pounds of basic slag per tree per annum, applied to the roots during the winter. During the five years the yield per tree from /5,.^r.!nor TI-OC 1CQ T-vminHc: of ATinl^S. U1 COCliig U CiO JLVIT j^vu?*v?v W? ?ST S? '7 while by the fifth year the bearing increased to 401 apples, weighing 105 pounds per tree?that is, the weight of the apples per tree increased by manuring from 55 pounds on the unmanured trees to 105 pounds on the manured trees, or 90.9 percent; while the number of apples increased from 294 to 401 per tree or 36 percent The increase in average size of the apples is remarkable. Those from the unmanured trees averaged 2.98 ounces each, and those form the manured trees 4.19 ounces each. Farm Notes. Keep the ewes outside as much as possible, but do not expose them to rains or snows. In late spring feed cows clover hay and corn. For early pasture put them on rye and wheat. Lack of available plant food in the soil and- neglect are the great causes of unfruitfulness with many orchards. Kind treatment of the horses develops their best traits and makes them more companiable as well as more useful. L/Uii L lild-iVC UUC iiliocnxvo V/i j;muuu& poor seed because it is cheap. Cheap seed always proves high priced when fall comes. Breed from the mares and to the stallions that possess, and whose ancestors in all directions possessed, the qualities which are desired in the offspring. Sometimes there may be a sore teat and when the pigs begin to nurse the pain will cause the sow to jump up, and she will turn on the pigs as the cause of the pain and injure them. As a rule the better bred a horse is the more valuable he is, provided he is a good animal, while the nearr thoroughbred he is the less he is worth, supposing he is a bad animal.

Investigate. There is always a good demand for strictly fresh eggs, winter and summer. This cannot be said of some other commodities to be found upon the market. The man who has strictly fresh eggs to sell does not have to look far for a purchaser. A few dollars spent in cleansing and disinfecting premises will prove a profitable investment. A great deal of the sickness in the flock could be traced directly to the presence of filth on the premises. Clean up the houses and yards and keep them clean. A number of small portable poultry houses come in handy on a poultry plant, as they can be used to place brooders in in the early spring, and later can be utilized for growing stock, breeding pens or laying hens, and can be moved to different points on the farm. The colt which persists in getting its foot over the halter rope or strap should nave tne rope passed tnruugn a hole in the manger on the end of which may be hung a weight that will at all times take up the slack, keeping it taut. When he lies down it will give him plenty of rope. The Real Value of College Education. We are apt to overestimate the value of an education gotten from books alone. A large part of the value of a college education comes from the social intercourse of the students, the re-enforcement, the buttressing of character by association. Their faculties are 'sharpened and polished by the atmtion of mind with mind, and the pitting of brain against brain, which stimulate ambition, brighten the ideals, and open up new hopes and possibilities. Book knowledge is valuable, but the knowledge which comes from mind intercourse is invaluable.?0. S.

An "intelligent animals' competition" has been held in Paris by a | society whose members believe that j dumb animals have reasoning facul- ! ties. They believe that animals, while ' ?? ??" :n... enma aacpc and J acting xnecaaiii^aiij' m svutw VMMVW ?? . ! instinctively in others, are also cap- J able of forming associations of ideas, which one philosophical school holds to be the foundation of reason. In the late contest trained "learned" animals were not rewarded. The judges consider that trick-performing creatures, taught by laborious and often cruel methods, do not thus show real intelligence. Dozens of dogs I which went through*rifle drill, cats which jumped through hoops, and fowls which danced the polka, were sent up to the show, but, much to the surprise of their owners, took no prizes. The silver gilt first medal went to a Japanese dog, which gave a different bark and made a different gesture to express various wants; for instance, putting its paw to its jaw with a peculiar yaping when it was hungry. It thus showed undoubted capacity for forming associations of ideas. The silver second medal was bestowed Jointly on a dog, a cat, and a hen, which played absolutely like children with their mistress. She had a game of football with them in the presence of the judges, and the animals enjoyed it thoroughly, whereas ?* ! the idea of play and make Deneve is i often supposed to be peculiarly hu- ! man.?Boston Budget. Without Counting. Archbishop Temple was noted for j mathematical ability. A peculiar- j ity of his power, not in computation or analysis, but in the ability to see a definite number of objects without actually counting them, in the ordinary sense, is mentioned in Mr. Sandford's memoirs of the archbishop. Everybody sees three objects, not as one, and cne, and one, but as three; most people can see four; some see five. Many of those who think they simply see six would discover, if they observed the process carefuli ly. that they really make a quick count. But Doctor Temple certainly' saw higher numbers. I tested him quite suddenly more than cnce. "How many sheep in that field?" Instantly came the answer, "Nine." ~ T (tHoCO I I Once He saw inirieeu. i imun. were birds flying in a group. It was the same process with him to see nine or ten volumes in a book-shelf as it was with me to see even five. Given time, without counting, he saw larger numbers.

The sores extended so quickly over /the whole body that we at once called in the doctor. We then went to another doctor, but he could not help him, and in our despair we went to a third one. Matters became so bad that he had regular holes in his cheeks, large 'enough to put a finger into. The food had to be given with a spoon, for his mouth was covered with crusts as thick as & finger, and whenever he opened the mouth they began to bleed and suppurate, as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest and back, in short, the whole body, was covered over and over. We had no rest by day or night. Whenever he was laid in his bed we had to pin his bancs down, otherwise be would scratch his face, and make an open sore. 1 think his face must have itched most fearfullv.
