See that tlie hauies , as well as tlu collar , are properly adjustod. You may thus have sore shoulders on your w/rl ; horses. Good feeding is something more thai : shoveling unhuskcd corn on the ground and allowing animals to dig it out oi the mud. Alfalfa or clover pasture i ? the best for the hog. A good substitute foi either of these is rape , Held peas 01 co\v peas sown ia a pasture. Never let the dead wood remain on the fruit trees. It uot only provides hiding places for insect pests , but it opens the way for extending the de cay of the heart of the tree. Rye sown in corn ground in Sm > tein- ber makes fine pasture for late fall. II clover is sown the next spring it will mnke good pasture uutil the rye is ripe , when the hogs will thrive upon UK grain. Forty-five thousand dollars is a tidy commission on a land deal a sum which is said to have been paid on tut sale of the Spur ranch in Dickens county , Texas , to an English syndi cate for $2nOO,000. To introduce new blood secure sev eral good hens and mate them to youi best male bird , provided he is a good one. II' your flock is not up to tlu standard get the best male bird you-cai and breed up to him. Good pasturage and plenty of water te all that breeding stock need , but pigs which are to be marketed at si.\ months must have plenty of grain to bring them up to the best marketable weight , about 200 pounds. Daniel Freeman , of P.rownville , Neb. , filed on the first free homestead pro vided by the government on January 1st , 1SG3. He is still in possession of this old patent , which is numbered 1 , and lives on his homestead. It is essential that we attend to the comfort and bodily ease of our cows. It weuld be well if some of us would ask ourselves how certain lines ol treatment would suit us. All laiimals , Biau'iucludcd , hare much in common. The fenced farm is the only one on which live stock can be kept and the rotation of crops followed , and as this method of farming is the only profit able one in the long run , it follows , that the farm must bo fenced to be handled properly. Dr. 0. P. Dennett , of Macon , 111. , has n bunch of artichokes planted in each of his poultry yard- . These make a dense shade during the summer , ami spring up vigorously year after year. They require no cultivation and frost does not injure There is an objection to alsike by some farmers , it is claimed , for the reason that its foliage has a slightly hitter taste , and stock do not take to it as readily as they do to red clover , hut they will learn to eat it in a short time if they are allowed no other grass , While attempting to relieve a cow which had swallowed a turnip , a Min nesota farmer pushed broom . handk down her throat and broke off twenty inches of it. Recently the stick was taken out of the cow's back just be hind the right shoulder and she is get ting well. In 1810 the lirst ship load of Peru vian guano was sent to England to be applied as a land fertilizer. This wa ? used for its ammonia. The Southern rock phosphate mines were opened in 1SG7 , the Florida and Tennessee phos phate mines later. The trade in nitraU of soda began about 1 > * 40. Selecting Brood Sow * . Few things are mure displeasing to 51 practical farmer than to see a lot ol heterogeneous pigs following an olc" scrub sow. They are very unsatisfac tory to the feed lot and unprofitable to the farmer. There is no excuse foi keeping scrub sows. The brood so\\ should be large , roomy and stand wel on her toes. Her shoulders should be smooth and deep , back wide and slight ly arched. There should be ample roon for heart and lungs provided by a large and deep chest , well sprung ribs am straight , deep sides ; a deep , rooim body from enel to end. A good deptl of chest and abdomen are especially im portant in a sow. If possible , the sow shoulel be select ed from a large litter , tliiv being apt te insure fecundity. Each sow shoujc h.uve at reast twelve well developed teats , thus providing proper room and nourishment f.or large litters of pigs. Agriculturifl Epitoniist. lireufcinis " Cow to Milk. If you are goiutf to break a young cow , tke first thing you have to do is to keep cool. Many kicking CCUYS are made bud by bad breaking and bad tem per. It Is a good idea to tie the new cow up the first few days and give her the very best treatment , so she has won your confidence. Before you are going to milk be sure to haveyourfinger nails trimmed as close as possible. Do not rush milking at once , but start gently. When you are through milking pet her and give her something to eat during the time of milking. I have done milk ing for fourteen years at home , on the farm of my parents , and know whereof I speak. Paul Kantin Agricultural Epitomist m-Sn.sli Ilivtl of Durban ! ; . Some of Ibe achievements of that re markable horticulturist , Mr. Luther P.urbank , in Southern California , seem to have been rivaled U England by a Lancashire farmer. It is said thai , on Garton's seeel grown near Warrington a .single oat plant surpasses by several hundreel cereals any plant ever grown in the worlel. It is the product of twen- { y--even ; years' practice of a process called "accelerated evolution , * ' and has been obtained by crossing a highly de veloped oat with certain varieties of wild oats v.'hioli have an. incalculable capacity for generating seeds. P.y these means the Lancashire fann er obtains a yield of ll'O bushels an acre , something over twice what is con sidered u good yield in other parts of the country. So practical has the pro cess been iounel that in thirty years the yield of some crops has been completely doubled , and It may reasonably be ex pected that a similar increase will take place within the next thirty years. I'm n tut ; Shrjilis. Many people think all shroubs should be pruned annually. This 5 quite a mistake. Most varieties should be pruned only when the growth Is weaker or twiggy , anel certain others only ue d the removal of olel anel barren wood. The looser and more graceful are tlu forjns the more attractive are the shrubs. Remember especially that the early flowering shrubs , such as weigela , deut- zin , vristaria , snowball , forsythla , flow ering almond , lilac , which bloom on the wood , of the season beforeshould never be pruned in the spring. The best time to do this is after flowering before the growth is started , otherwise the flower buds will be cut off. Avoid heavy cutting back at any time. A little each yea will suffice ao n time. A little each year will suffice as a when pruning and cut so as to give easy flowing vines , trying to keep the branches well down to the ground. Old and twisted stems and stunte : ? growth should be thinned out , but do not cut away many of the healthy shoots , Branches either large or small should be cut back quite close to a jointer or stem , while twigs should be cut close to an eye or joint. Pruning is best done with a stout , sharp pocket knife or with medium- sized pruning shears. Do not use hedge shears on tne flowering shrubs , as tne regular lines we admire on the privet are anything l > ut beautiful on the lilac or snowball. Trim always to keep the bushes "so the lower branches are not bare and the heads are masses of bloom. Should the shrubs grow crowded in the bed , remove some of them to other spots in the garden. Dlsen.so in Pouliry. Oregon Agricultural and Experiment Station writes as follows : "The success of poultry raising depends Inrgely upon the ability of those engaged in this industry to keep their fowls free from contagious and infectious diseases. "More failures are due to these dis eases than any other pause. "It has been said that 'Fowls are machines which consume certain kinds of raw material and produce eggs and meat' : but in order to bring about this transformation with any degree of suc cess they should be kept in a good , healthy condition. "One of the most fatal diseases in fowls , especially in young chickens , is infectious lukamia. The first symptom of this trouble isAa rise in the tempera ture , which is followed by drowsiness and. debility , with paleness of the mu cous membranes , also of the comb , wat tles and skin about file head ; the fever is continuous , generally resulting In death after four or five days. In some cases the disease is of longer duration and two or. three weeks may elapse before the death of the bird , in which case there is excessive emaciation. This disease is infectious and is caused by a micro-organism called bacterium sangulnarium. "It is sometimes difficult for the poul try raiser to determine the disease af fecting his fowls , not having the ap pliances necessary for this work ; there fore , if there be any doubt as to the nature of disease in poultry , it would I > e v/ell to forward a specimen , in the last stage of disease , to the bacteriolo gical laboratory of the Oregon Agricul tural College fur diagnosis. This work will be done free of charge , and , iu all cases possible , n remedy given. " .

Stones are suspended on a running rope over au outrigger projected from the boat's side in such a convenient position as to allow the diver to place one foot within a loop affixed to the stone. The diver , having placed himself with one foot on the stone , with a net around his neck t. > hold oysters , draws iu his breath , closes the nostrils with one hand and raises his body to give force to tht- descent. The manduck ( or diver's at tendant ) , in charge of the stone and nets , lets go. and the diver rapidly reaches the bottom , leaves the stone * . which the manduck instantly hauls u ; > and relixes , throws himself on th ; > ground , creeping alenig. and fills hi > net with oysters.
