invention consists of black lead such as is used for polishing stoves and for other uses combined with turpentine water and sugar or saccharine matter and the proportions which have been found to answer well are to each pound by weight of black lead ene gill of turpentine one gill of water and one ounce of sugar but these proportions may be varied and in some cases all the ingredients are not necessary There is a great deal of illegitimate kissing going on in this world The indiscriminate in-discriminate kissing of babieg and little children is a habit much to be deprecated depre-cated first because they ought to be taught to regard a kiss as a sweet and tender salutation between those very near and dear to each other and second because Children are liable to contract disease in the indiscriminate kissing of everybody rpeople who carry any dis ease in their systems should never kiss anybody unless particularly requested leas of all a tender innocent little cMd Ex A cattle owner savs Salt is my safety va1ve as agaiastxlistemper When 1 keep salt constantly before my cattle there never develops a case of blackleg In the past twenty years Ihave two or three of those years neglected to salt and every time I have done so have lost cattle from blackleg but have never lost one the years that I have salted It is a simple remedy and not only prevents pre-vents distemper but gentles and otherwise other-wise improves the cattle A thousand head of cattle will take a hundred pounds of salt per week I replenish these troughs every Sunday morning It pays the best of any money

the last two years have given evidence evi-dence of aJack acknowledge an this re 1 gard which has cost the owner great deal intime and money lost Onfcgen tlenian remarked this week that when he first brought his cattle out they were branded so deeply that the wound ira ir-a d of healing atonce as itshou d ha > re done continued to grow larger ulcerated that maggots entered into the sores and ate away the flesh Until the brand in most cases could not be recognized Nor was this all t the sores on some of the cattle became so virulent that not a few died or were necessarily killed and some with the indistinguishable blotched brands on < them wet taken np by the roundups android asmavericks There may be more cases r similar to the above and there probably are but this lis the only one that

their apples not reckoned firstclass Horses cattle sheep swine ndjpooltrv will eat apples with avidity and thrive on them if fed judiciously Cannot the farmer sell them in the forms of animal food beef milk or its products wool or mutton pOrK r poultry or eggs We are aware that so lar e a proportion of apples is water that their analyses do not show a very large proportion pro-portion of nutriment and we have no statements of feed trials showing their products flesh milk < 6c but we have Known animals to increase in flesh and we have known cows to increase decidedly decid-edly in milk and butter on apples and we have seen similar statements of the experiences of others The effects of foods in causing an increase of flesh care c-are not always in proportion to the nutriment nu-triment they contain but are sometimes increased by their power to promote digestion assimilation of other food We think apples will pay better to feed to sock than to draw to cider mills If you should feel disposed to act upon our advice let us add the caution Commence Com-mence feeding the apples gradually Cows may be nearly dried up by feeding feed-ing them all the apples they will eat on the start and other animals may become be-come surfeited but begin oy giving from two to four quarts a day and you can soon increase the rations to a bushel a day in two feeds without doing do-ing any injury Probably in the highest high-est feeding however a peck to a feed twice a day will nswerfor a full grown horse or cowEx For four years we have reared a score er more of calves each year using skimmed milk entirely after they were from one to two weeks old and are sure that the practice is desirable for very many farmers We have not beeq able to secure so rapid growth or so plump and attractive appearance for the calves as when they suckle their dams or are fed on whole milk Nor do we secure maturity in so short a time In other words we believe pure milk is the best possible food for a calf but satisfactory results and often greater profits result from using the cream for buttet making and feeding the skimmed milk The change to skimmed milk should not be made suddenly Care should betaken be-taken to have the milk of uniform temperature when fed better below thart above that of fresh milk It is better to feed three times a day while the calves are young and better to feed each calf separately than several together to-gether A good device by which the calf can draw its milk as nearly as possible pos-sible as it does in suckling is better than to have it drink from a pail or trough The use of linseed oil meal better heated heat-ed and thoroughly mixed with the milk is desirable The calves should be encouraged en-couraged to eat grass or good hay and some grain or mealoats being preferable prefer-able as soon as may be Large quantities quan-tities of milk at long intervals are not nearly as good as smaller quantities more frequently given and accompanied by other food The milk should be continued con-tinued until the calves are five or six months oldEx I S t S |
