Jeff W. Waynick, of Chariton, Tc writes: The care of horses is a ther vast importance. It is emphat worthy the careful consideration of every oneinterested in the welfare of the horse, Care will tell, and that to a reasonable dogr Then what about the methods that have been put forth from time to time, are they adapted to the ecircum stances of the masse Methods almost without limit, some without re many with good, practical information have been given to the world con- corning the and management of horses. Many of these methods and in- structions are of good sound reasoning, and whenever tried, have proved p cal and beneficial. But at the same time they were available only to a scetion of individuals, namely: Those who have plenty of money and abundant time for experimental purpose Now, the average farmer has neither a surplug supply of money nor time to test and reap the good resulting from such methods, but must necessarily have meth- ods at least practically adapted to his cir- cumstances, or else he has no business with th at all. The farmer canuot, especially during the first three or four wonths of the Larming season, allow his team i resvite of two or more hours after giving them water before feeding, pre- varatory to the afternoon’s work. But then the instructions say, two hours or more vest after feeding before work. I'his consumes two much valuable time, which the average farmer cannot afford to lose. But he can the first thing of a morning feed his team a bountitul sup- ply of hay—na bucket full of water to the horse is best before gi hay. Allow about one hour for y, then feed corn or oats, after which the team is well srepared for - the half Blorse if food is iven first, et both hny and grain at the same time, will eat the rrain, and consequently little or no hay during the allotted time. Special care should be given to the amount of water required for horses un- der the different ecircumstances— for in- wrious results often acerue from an over Supply of water, than is generally sup- posed; while the real cause of such results 15 frequently attributed to something else, and yet the unsuspected custom contin' ues, adding all the while to the number of new victims. Hay, before grain of any kind, morning, noon, and night, and a reasonable resting spell after the noon's feeding, will give, 1f adhered to any considerable length of time, satis- factorily results.

The Michigan dairymen’s association held a meeting in Kalamazoo about the middle of F n-l)ru:lr.}', Among other mat- ters they adopted the following rules for the use of those who ship milk to cheese actories or butter dair First-—-Cows must have an abundance ot good, wholesome food, pure and not too cold water, to which they can have access at all times. Sccond—Cows _must not be overheated or unduly excited or worried atanytime. Third-=The udder and teats should be thoronghly cleaned before milking, by washing it need be, and the teats should not be wet during the process of milk- ing. Fourth—Kindness and gentleness should be used at all times. Cows should not be excited by loud talk or other noises. Fifth—Cows should be milked by the me milker and as quickly as possible, and good pure water and salt placed in ceess. Sixth—During cold weather cows should be comfortably housed, theirstalls well cleaned and littered, and an abund- ance of good and not too cold water ac- cessible. Seventh—Mill should be placed'in a tan coid water or ice. Eighth—1If the milk is for butter or eream for the ereamery or market, cool umer to about 40 or 45 degrees be- turning the milk into it. Put the milk inthe creamer as soon as drawn, It should remain from 12 to 24 hours for complete separation, 1f the milk is for chcese, acrate it well, thoroughly ng and cooling to 75 de- grees befo arting to factory.

The problem of farming consists in making the soil increasingly fertile, Manure is the farmers’ savings bank, and if more of them would have largo Weaps of it every spring to spread upon their Iands, instead of money at interest they would prosper better in the end. Clover growth is helped by lime and plaster. Large quantities of nitrogen are contained in the earth and air, and clover apsorbs nitrogen more than any other slant. The plant and air work together in fornishing an exhaustless supply of food for all kinds of food plants. go is the strongest weapon i the farmer can fight hard times and gain suceess.

C. E. Bell, who is assistant to Mr. Maxon, the government superintendent of the grounds, and Mr. King, both think the building will be comploted by Decem- ber, 1887, notwithstanding the large amount of work to be done. The fact that the building is being built by Uncle Sam will no doubt cause some delay in completing it, as Uncle Sam uses plenty of red tape in the con struction of his buildings. —————— A Mute Drowned.
