STOCK ITEMS.
A llttl eorn to ptga is beneficial; too
much Is Injurious.
Generally better results would be se
cured if tho cows wero mated so as to
calvo often.
Soino breeders claim that early lambs
grow faster, aro healthier and mako
larger sheep than lato ones.
Ono advnntago with sheep la that if
properly managed they eat their food
cleaner than horses or cattle.
Crossing Merino owes with n Shrop
shire ram is often done to Increase tho
slzo of tho carenss for mutton.
Abundance of grass, abundance of
salt and abundotico of water aro threo
essentials In summer with cattle.
Upon good pasture tho calves bhould
grow rapidly us tho grass furnishes
abundantly the materials for growth.
Partially empty stomachs mako iab
tie uncomfortable nnd ns a result they
spend their energy In Idle movement
At no time In tho llfo of nn animal Is
thu influence of liberal or scant feeding
so great as when an animal is young.
Tho best tlmo to determlno what,
shall bo done with a brood sow is when,
sho has and suckles her second Utter.
If the cattle nro to be marketed rca
Bonnbly early in tho fall It Is best to
commence feeding grain in good season.
An important item in selecting a good
brood sow Is her milk producing" powers.
This is necessary if sho raises good-
pigs.
Plenty of skim milk is ono of thwbest
things to keep youug pigs growing
through tho summer. Feed it liber
ally. Tho object in feeding pigs that are
to bo marketed is to push them 'from
tho start, so us to maintain a steady
growth.
A sow that will bring an nvcrngo ol.
eight pigs In a litter twice a year is
doing moro than average work und Is
valuable.
Tho production of fat depends upon
tho temperament of tho cow, gentid
handling and food that is rich in ulbu
incnoids. Thcro aro horso jockeys nnd Bhccp
jockeys. Tlje sheep jockey is up to till
tho tricks In his trade. Ho takes up
every new breed, blows his horn nt tho
fairs, talks loudest at conventions, re
ports phenominnl results through tho
press, is active in tho formation of a
register, gets scrubs nnd what not re
corded nnd sells them for long prices.
In a couplo of years another breed
comes along. Thcro is much inquiry
for this "coming breed," and high prices
aro brought for imported stock. Ho
sells his old stock, jumps for a front
placo in tho now procession and saya
the old breed is not "in it" American
Sheep Drecder.
FARM NOTES.
Mulching newly set trees during hot,
dry weather often saves them fronv
dying.
During the summer Is a good timo to
preparo tho soil for fall planting of tho
orchard. Soft feed can in many cases bo fed
daily to tho poultry that aro confined ia
closo quarters during tho summer.
At this timo particular enro must bo jA
taken not to crowd tho poultry, cspc-jfjA
eially thu small ones, In closo quarters. Bl
Supplying tho poultry with plenty of
charcoal Is ono of tho best preventives
of disease, nnd especially so in bummer.
Whllo chickens thrive best in small
numbers or Hocks, ducks seem to do
better when u larga nunbor nro kept
together.
Cutting down and burning Is the only
safe, sure remedy for rust on raspberry .'
canes; taglu as soon as it makes' its
appearance. Ono advnntago with gecso is that they
aro hardy, easily raised and requlro less,
caro nnd expensive food than any other
elnss of fowls.
Keep down tho raspberry canes; four
or flvo good canes to every four feet of
row will give a bettor quality of fruit
than if thicker.
It is quite un Item to do clean worlc
in harvest; a llttlo worlc every day and
at every hauling will mean consider
able less In tho end.
Now is tho time to be on tho lookout
for tho borer; to examine tho trees care
fully every week or ten days Is ono of
tho safest plans that can bo followed.
A machine has arrived at Chicago,
says an exchange, which, it is claimed ,
will revolutionize tho dairy Industry
nnd do away with that useful adjunct
of every well regulated farm, tho maid,
who does tho milking. Tho mnehlno
was Imported from Glnsgow, Scotland,
nnd it is claimed will milk thirty cows
Tu onu hour. It is constructed on tho
vacuum principle, and when ndjustcel
to tho cow tho milk Hows in a continu
ous stream. Tho machine does, tho
work without assistance.
As onu yenr's seeding makes seven
years' weeding anil thcro is no mis
take about that ono year's weeding
may save seven years' seeding. Lot any
farmer resolve, and faithfully keep hls
resolutlon, to permit no weed to grow
longer than ono week, for ono season,
nnd tho next years tho labor of destroy
ing what aro loft will become less and
less ever after. Hut if a farm is neg
lected for a few years ono might as woll
forbear to sow or plant and do nothlng
but ldll tho weeds a whole year, and
tho labor would bo well spent. Ilutono
furraer cannot destroy all tho weeds.
His neighbors should do likewise, nud.
together they may materially lessen tho
troublo of keeping tho pests down.
