shelter for STOCK.
During the wintering of animals
warmth must not be secured at the ex¬
pense of exercise and appetite, in
the dry climate of Utah J. W. San¬
born lias found by trials through six
years that cattle, sheep and swine on
the whole required more food to main¬
tain existence when fed in the open
air than when housed. Cattle and
hogs made a more economic gain in
the open air. Sheep in the barn did
better tn every respect than in the
open air. Caltlo in box stalls did bet¬
ter than those tied up. The greater
the freedom of motion, up to the
freedom of a yard ten rods square,
the more food eaten, but the less food
required for a pound of gain for cat¬
tle. These trials indicatr that free
access to shelter and yards is more
economical than compulsory lite in
the storms or in close confinement in
the barn.—[American Agriculturist.
1IKEB AND ItONEV.
When a now colony of bees arc
brought into the bee yard they need
watching for a little time, lo sec that
other colonics do not rob thorn, i’oi
aibly llto moving opens honey cells,
whoso odor is attrretive to other bees,
or it may be only that instinct which
lends every animal, from a school boy
down, to desire to measure strength
with a now coiner.
Ait old beekkeopor, who always
had “good luck” wiLlt his bees, al¬
though ho was not posted in modern
methods, and only used old-fashioned
hives, used to wash his hives, both
new and old, three times before lie
put a now swarm in them. Unco his
water hud a little wood ashes in it,
though soda might have answered his
purpose as woll. With this they were
scoured. The noxt was a washing in
Balt water, and the last washing was
in water slightly sweetened, into
which lie usually put a few dried rose
leaves or some sweet-smelling herb.
They were well dried between the
washings, and he said the bees liked
liis hives. Whether his success was
duo lo this practice or to other cure,
in which ho wus almost as particular
and notional, wo will not say. — [Bos¬

DtlTTNG SHEEP.
The necessity for dipping sheep ap¬
pears only when parasites infest tho
stock, Those parasites are of two
kinds, the sheep thick and the scab
mite. Lico or other kinds aro some¬
times, but rarely, found to infest a
flock.
Neither of tlicso parasite enemies
can develop out of nothing. They ex¬
ist in the flock wholly through con
lageous contact with living insects.
The object of dipping slteep, there,
foro, should ho to eradicate insect
enemies from the flock, for if those in¬
sects are thoroughly and completely
destroyed thoy will not again infest
tho flock till it comes iu contact with
living parasites. Thoroughness is the
key to success in dipping sheep.
One bath in a parasite destroyer
will kill tho ticks that infest tho nni
tnals. But fences, sheds, yards and
other places which the flocks has come
much in contact with will rotain
enough animal parasttes to reinfect the
flock. And such places cannot be
wholly cleaned of the pests. Effective
treatment requires that the sheep
should bo thoroughly dipped three or
four times in one season at intervals
of two or three weeks. If this is done
at shearing ami during tho following
111011 (hs it will bo most economical
and the farm can bo so completely rid
of the parasites that future treatment
will be unnecessary.— [Western Stock

FODDER CROPS AND FEED STUFFS.
A more liberal production of nutri¬
tious fodder crops, aside from Indian
corn, to be raised on tho farm and fed
in connection with purchased commer¬
cial seed stud's, is urged by Director
Goesstnnn of the Massachusetts station
as an efficient menus to increase the
general productiveness of eastern farm
lauds and also to cheapen tho cost of
feed for all kinds of live stock. The
introduction of a greater variety of
fodder plants will enable fanners to
meet better the differences in loca
conditions of climate and soil, as well
as the special wants of different
branches of farming industry. Takiug
this view of the question, the grea
and valuable family of leguminous
plants—as clovers, vetches, lucerne,
serradclla, peas, beaus, lupines, etc.—
is In a particular degree well qualified
for that purpose. These plants also
deserve a decided recommendation in
tho interest of a wider range for the
introduction of economical systems
of rotation of crops under various
conditions of the soil aud the
different requirements of market*.
Most, of these fodder plant* have an
extensive root system, an<l for title
reason largely draw their plant food
from the lower portion of the soil.
The amount of stubble and roots they
leave behind after the crop has been
harvested is exceptionally large, and
decidedly improves both the physical
and chemical condition of the soil,
The lands are subsequently better fit¬
ted for cite production of slmllow
growing crops, as grain, etc. Large
production of fodder crops assist in
the economical raising of general farm
crops; although the area devoted lo
cultivation is tcduccd, the lo.alv’ed
of the laud is usually mote satis .tc

milk-producing organs of the mare of
the use of the lash, the brutal jerking
upon Hie liorse’s motilhwith tho reins,
and the rough language that one too
often notices in the driving of horses?
liuinanity and a love for dumb
animals ought to insure kind treat¬
ment of all the animals upon the fanu,
but if that idea does not carry suf¬
ficient weight wi'li some, self-interest
ought to cotne in and show that utt

dollars and cents. It is often, how¬
ever, not a question of real brutality
on the part of unkind drivers of
horses. The drivers are themselves
perhaps tired and fretted, and
thoughtlessly e and implusjvely a blow
of „ tho lash is given, ”, . or the , harsh , , com

must keop a check upon himself as
woll upon his horses.
Mares in milk aro tnoro susceptible
to changes of temperature or to sud¬
den chills from drinking frooly of very
cold water when heated. Iu all ways
brood mares must be treated with
extra care and kindness, if their own
futuro usefulness is to be conserved,
and the thrifty growth of tho foal as¬
sured. They should be given a
nourishing supply of food that will
provide abundant sustenance for the
dam, and au ample supply of milk
for tho colt. Good pasturage and a
liberal ration in which bran or ground
oats predominate will be found to
yield most satisfactory results.—
