Informal ion About Cows.
A cow Is known to be in calf by sev
eral signs or indications as follows:
When she is not anxious for the com
pany of the bull; when she begins to
increase in g:rth; when the yield of milk
falls off, and .most certainly by the
~'rowtli of the fetus, which may be felt
jjy pressing the closed list against the
right side "of the cow below the hip,
when the stomach is not distended with
food. The operator stands on the right
B ide of the cow with his left hand on the
cow's back; he then presses the closed
r jght list suddenly against the flank and
then holds it still for a second or two,
when the calf will be felt as a hard sub
stance returning upon the fist. There is
n o other way by which any one but an
expert can learn the condition of the <ow
in this respect. —New York Times.
Fattening Turkeys.
As the time is at hand when our
national bird is in demand. It is in
order for farmers to put the fowls to be
used or sold for this purpose into a
proper condition. No matter whether
at present fat or lean, turkeys to be
kill, d for the table should be confined
for a few days previously in limited
quarters and receive plenty of whole
some food and pure water, and not be
left to forage for themselves on whatever
they can find, whether clean or unclean.
The effect of such a change of diet for
a few days, or w r eeks if a longer time is
required to put on the right amount of
flesh and fat, will be juicy and well
flavored birds fit for such a feast. To be
of the best the fowls must be young, for
no amount of care and feeding will make
tough old specimens suitable for such an
occasion. A mixture of meal and oats,
with boiled potatoes, in which should be
put a little powdered charcoal, if alter
nated with corn and scraps from the
table will form a good ration and produce
the best quality of meat. The greater
the variety of food the better, so long as
it is clean and wholesome and relished
by the birds. —New York World.
Keeping Tools.
The following, clipped from Farm
Machinery, is as applicable to the man
in the shop.
Keep your tools handy and in goo'd
condition. This applies everywhere, and
in every place, from the smallest shop to
the greatest mechanical establishment
in the world. Every* tool should have
its exact place, and should be always
kept there when not in use. Having a
chest or any receptacle with a lot of
tools thrown into it promiscuously, is
just as bad as putting‘the notes in an
organ without regard to their proper
piace. If a man wants a wrench, chisel
or hammer, it’s somewhere in the box
or chest, or somewhere else, and the
search begins. Sometimes it is found
perhaps sharp, perhaps dull, maybe
broken; and by the time it is found he
has spent time enough to pay for several
tools of the kind wanted. The habit of
throwing every tool down, anyhow, in
every way, or any place, is one* of the
most detestable habits a man can pos
sibly get into. It is only a matter of
habit to correct this. Make an inflexible
rule of your life to “have a place for
everything and everything in its place.”
It may take a moment more to lay a tool
up using, but the time is
more’than dualized when you want to
use it again, and so it is time saved.
Habits, either good or bad, go a long
ways in their influence on men’s lives,
and it is far better to establish and firmly
maintain a good habit, even though that
habit has no special bearing on the
moral character, yet all habits have their
influence.
A Satisfactory l'cnce.
I have found my fence of smooth
wire and board effective, and cheaper
than any other I have ever built, says a
farmer in the New York Triune. In a
small pasture adjoining the barn (where
we turn out horses and have kept
one or more cows night and day) stock
have several times broken down or
jumped over the board fence on two
sides, but have not in the three years
broken through or over the wire. We
use plain No. i) wire, costing me 3 eents
a pound, and it weighs about one pound
to the rod. I used in this fence but
three wires and one strip of board, three
inches wide, but would use four wires if
building another. ] have another lot
fenced with tive wires and the strip of
board, which turns calces and sheep.
Fence boards now cost me 1 cent a foot,
running measure, for (> inch wide, or
S2O per thousand feet, so you see that
five wires cost less than one board. This
is not all the saving, however, for one
post every thirty-two feet is all that is
needed for a wire fence, while a good
board fonce requires a post every eight
feet. Then the cost of building the
b<sard fence is four times that of build
ing with wire.
ith the cud posts well braced there
is very little trouble in keeping the wires
of the right tension. After the wires are
stretched and stapled to the posts, we
drive a stake in the centre, between the
posts and staple the wires to it. We
then set up strips of board, three inches
vide and four feet and a half long, every
four feet (three of these strips lilting each
space between a stake and a post), and
staple the wires to those uprights, aud
the i our 3-inch board is . nailed to these
w jth a single clinch-nail at each. A
fence is never s-afe without this
ooard, as stock, particularly horses,
when excited and rufining will not see
■S and will run into it, but with the
uprights only four feet apart and the
one narrow board there is no danger of
this. It is a good plan to put a small
"ut stone or piece of board under the
CCu °f each upright. The cost of the
m aterial for this fence is about 35 cents
wiling the posts at 25 cents each, stakes
o cents, uprights 1 cent and wire staples
and nails at cost. On level land, where
a long stretch could be had. I think 10
cents a rod would certainly cover the
cost of building. I shall put up this
euce quite extensively in future.
Feed the Straw.
Now that threshing is generally over,
|he question naturally arises, What shall
he done with the stiaw? In the great
grain growing regions, but little thought
•sgiven to the matter. It is usually burned
o get it out of the way. If stacked it
18 , one so loosely that it poorly sheds the
ra,a - aQ d is soon valueless, except for
fnanure. Those who de ire to convert it
into tnanu e for immediate use draw it
mto the barnjard to be trampled down
by the stock. Straw is too valuable to
use in this way. It is a desirable fodder,
and should be housed or well stacked and
fed to stock during the winter. If yours
is poorly stacked, fix it up and cover
with long slough grass, m order that a
good share of it may be preserved. It
has been proven that straw and less than
a bushel of barley or its equivalent in
other grain, will winter a sheep well.
Straw and four quarts of oats a day
will winter an ordinary horse that is not
at work.
It takes but little figuring to prove
that to the ordinary farmer it is cheaper
to feed st-aw and a small amount of
grain, than to wiuter his stock upon
“good hay” alone.
With all the care taken, unless housed,
there will be more or less waste that the
stock will not eat. This, with dry muck,
leaves, sawdust, and other refuse about
the farm, stock yard and barn, will give
bedding for the stock.
A great mauy farmers do not figure on
anything better than “plenty of good
hay” to winter their dry cows, and young
stock, both cattle and horses. If these
would feed a little less of the good hay
and some grain, they would find it
cheaper and their stock would do as
well. It makes but little difference how
we get the combination that makes a
good ration, so long as the result is
reached; two and five make seven as well
as one and six.
Even those who keep their straw for
the manure or plant food there is in it,
do not expect to get the good of it for
two or three years—not until the pile
“rots down.” If they have several piles,
and good sized ones, more land is thus
occupied that can be afforded upon a
well regulated farm. When fed to stock,
the plant food contained in straw is at
once available. All the grains make good
manure, yet ho one would be so foolish
as to throw them into the barn-yard for
that purpose.
Be as wise with the straw of the grain.
Get what nourishment there is in it for
your stock first—feed your farm with
what is left.
The whole question in regard to what
to do with straw can be answered in four
words—feed it to stock. We are not ad
vocating a straw diet alone. We would
not advise any to feed it alone to milch
cows and expect any milk, or at least not
much, and less cream, yet we do not
think a small ration of nice, bright oat
straw will hurt milch cows that are high
grain fed. We know they relish it.
Feed all your coarse fodder—giving
grain or supplemental foods enough
to make a complete lation. Sell from
the farm only that that takes the least
from its fertility, aud sell that after you
have used the “waste” of the farm as
well as the grain, in producing it. Feed
the straw.— Farm , Field anl Stockman.
Farm and Garded Notes.
Save and cook the small potatoes for
the pigs.
It is asserted that high-checking
makes knee-sprung horses.
As soon as the leaves fall from grape
vines they may be trimmed.
It is never safe to drive a young or
spirited horse with a loose rein.
In orchards where the cultivator runs
frequently, mulching may be omitted.
Dry oats make a splendid feed for
young pigs just before and after wean
ing.
It is not the best plan to store expen
sive machines in fields or barnyards.
House them.
Cattle should not he allowed to graze
on pastures in the fall when the grass is
covered with frost.
Flower lovers with rarely an exception
injure their plants under glass with ex
cessive heat and mistaken kindness.
If shoeing could be done away with, a
large part of the diseases and lameness
that atHict horses would be presented.
Farmers should demand that the roads
of their town be thoroughly repaired be
fore the storms of winter make it impos
sible to do so.
Never remove the leaves from a tree or
vine. Every twig or branch that com
mences to grow, must be allowed to re
main the first season.
The seed corn nearest the tip, pro
duces the strongest and best plants,
followed by that from the butt, while
that from the middle was poorest.
We do too many things without
thought. We pile up the food before
our animals and do not take heed how
they eat, or how much, or what the ef
fects are.
The present method of granulation of
butter is one of the best introduced into
butter making, and where practiced has
produced a marked improvement in the
product.
From a careful experiment of a Mas
sachusetts farmer, it is shown that the
manure from eight hens in one year is as
valuable as that lrom a cow during the
same time.
If you do not keep hens, or if your
hens never lay in winter, if you have not
already done so, you should at once put
away a few dozen of fresh eggs for use
next winter.
The queen in her prime may lay from
•2000 to 3000 eggs in a single day. Iler
second year is generally thought to be
the most prolific, and after that she
gradually decliues in value.
Lawns are best made by following
nature’s suggestions. If she has made a
swale so be it. If she has rolled up a
I mound let it alone. We have only to re
move roughness and inequalities.
Old farmers generally consider that
there is not’ a better place for swine in
winter than the orchard. The animals
profit by good feeding, while they de
stroy the larva: of countless in-ects and
enrich the ground by their manure.
Pasturing roadsides often causes ill -
feel in", damage to neighbors’ crops, and
sometimes eostlv lawsuits. It is best to
mow the roadsides and then no.uous
weeds and briars can be cut aud burned.
When large quantities of roots are to
be stored, and there is no root cellar for
this purpose, it is far better to construct
pits than to fill the cellar of one’s dwell
ing house with a general assortment of
roots and vegetables to vitiate the air of
the entire house.
If there is one error in pouHry-keep
in" supreme over all others it is what is
called ventilation. One is not far wrong
in classing ventilation and roup as twins;
f„r as a rule, where theie is plenty of
ventilation there is plenty of roap.
The important point in stock feeding
ia to constantly bear in mind that a
young animal give* better returns for
feed consumed than an old one. A
pound of meal or a pound of hay adds
more to the weight of a calf than to the
same animal when grown.
Colts should be halter broken when
following the mare; it helps to subdue
them, and supersedes the necessity of
breaking them over again when grown
up. “Once broken, always broken,”4 is
an axiom as old as the art of breeding.
It is advisable to break them to harness
at two and one-half or three years old.
They will receive no injury from careful
usage in light vehicles.
It is claimed now by good authority
that the age of cream has much to do
with the time needed in churning, so
that if cream that has just been taken
ofi is put in the churn with a lot which
has set a few days to ripen, the new
cream will remain in the buttermilk
after the old cream is sufficiently
churned. This has been shown by
churning the buttermilk from mixed
cream.
Jersey cows, though not at any time
giving large yields of milk, are generally
so persistent that during a year they are
not very long dry. It is this tendency
which, combined with the richness of
their milk, makes them favorites with
those who only keep one cow and look
to that for the family supply. Every
effort should be used to keep a young
heifer-up to her milking yield as long as
possible. The habit of going dry
early, if once formed, is impossible to
break.
The Great Hudson Day Company.
Most people of the present generation
think the Hudson Bay Company, which
once so potentially and magnificently
ruled half this continent, is a tiling of
the past. But it is not. The company
still lives, and although not nearly so
powerful nor so wealthy as in the early
days of its history, it nevertheless gath
ers in its millions annually and distrib
utes them among its lucky stockhold
ers. John B. Ilale of Winnipeg, one of
its most trusted agents, Stas at "the Bar
tholdi the other day and told the Obser
ver something about the present con
dition of the company. The headquar
ters of its business is at Winnipeg, and
from that point are forwarded "all the
supplies needed for the more than six
hundied trading posts north of Manitoba
and extending into the Arctic Circle and
West to the Pacific. There are only four
months of navigation during the year
in Hudson’s Bay, and all *t e
goods for the entire season must be
shipped in these months. The Indians
do their hunting in the days when navi
gation is closed, and during the pleasant
season gather at the trading posts to
barter the furs they have obtained for
the goods and suppl es sent up bv the
company. Just before the closing of
navigation all of the furs are shipped
down to Winnipeg, whence they go to
the company’s storehouses in different
sections of the world. The trade is car
ried on with the Indians just as it was
more than 150 years ago by the men who
first started the great company, and com
paratively as much money is made. Most
of the stock of the company is.owned in
England, and for nearly fifty years it has
never paid less than twenty-five per cent,
dividends. —-New York Graphic.
An Ingenious Correspondence.
A correspondence with hair was once
attempted between a notorious Parisian
thief in durance vile and his commades
outside. A letter was sent to the pris
oner from his sweetheart, containing
merely a lock of liair wrapped in the leaf
of a book. The jailor did not consider
the souvenir important enough to be de
livered, but in a few days there came a
similar enclosure, and yet another. This
aroused suspicion, and the Governor
took the matter in hand, lie examined the
leaf of the book; it was that of a com
mon novel, twenty-six lines on a page.
Then he studied the hair and noticed
the small quantity of the gift. Count
ing the hairs lie found them of equal
length and twenty-six in number, the
same as the lines on the page. Struck
with the coincidence, he laid the hairs
along the lines on the page which they
respectively reached, beginning at the
top with the smallest hair. After some
trouble he found that the end of each
hair pointed to a different letter, and
that these letters combined formed a
slang sentence, which informed the pris
oner that h s friends were on the watch,
and that the next time he left the prison
to be examined an atrempt would be
made to rescue him. The Governor
made his plans accordingly. The at
tempt was made, but the rescuers fell
into their own trap.
A Midshipman’s Chest.
Each chest contains all the worldly
possess.ons of one officer, which, thus
packed, are as inaccessible as they well
can be. Immediately under the lid are
three or four shallow trays. One of these
is fitted as a washstand, with basrn, mug,
soap-dish, and receptacle for tooth
brushes. Another till is a sort of loose
box for everything; while a third con
tains a miscellaneous collection of neck
ties, handkerchiefs, pipes, money, and a
limited stock of jewelry. Under these
trays, and packed more or less tid ly,
according to the tendencies of the marine
servant who “looks after” each young
gentleman, are his uniforms, suits of
plain clothes, boots, linen, and articles
of haberdashery. After this explanation,
my readers will not find it ditlicult to
understand why the expression “every
thing on top, and nothing at hand, like
a midshipman’s chest,” is tommonly
applied to any chaotic disarrangement
on board ship.— tit. Nicholas.
A Passion for Cloves.
The Syracuse (N. Y.) Standard says:
“A physician of this city says that one
of the strangest cases that has come
under his observation in practice is a
Syracuse young lady who is addicted to
the habit of chewing ( loves. For several
years her friends and physicians hare
been fighting to break her of a habit
which she carries to such excess that her
life will be the penalty paid. At times
she breaks herself of the habit for a few
weeks, but sooner or later steals away to
buy a quantity of the cloves. She has
been known to dispose of a quarter of a
pound in a day. Druggists have been
warned not to give her the spice, but
there are so many stores whose pro
prietors have not been called upon that
she has no difficulty in obtaining a sup
ply. Excess in the use of cloves is con
sidered more harmful to the system than
the use of opium.”
Corralled by Sharks.
A dinghy with grass from Dwarka
foundered not very far from Bate, a port
on the (Dutch coast, while she was ou her
way to Karachi, when the crow, con
sisting of seven, took to the mast, which
had unshipped. At the time she foun
dered the vessel was very close to the
shore, and the crew were gradually
working their way toward the beach,
when one of their number was heard to
shriek, and immediately disappeared,
and the others, to their horror, realized
that they were surrounded by sharks,
with no means of escaping, ns the mast
not only gave with their weight, but
could not be kept steady eu account of
the rough state of the sea. The men
were in a state of anxiety and fear, not
knowing whose turn would come next.
One by one the men suddenly disap
peared until only one remained, aud by
this time the storm having subsided, he
managed to balance himself steadily on
the mast, which drifted towaru the
beach on the following day. Ho was
thus tossed about on the sea, expecting
every moment to be his last, for two
days and a night. —Sind Times.
Taxes.
The occupation taxes of Texas are among
the cuiiositics of state taxation. The
repeal of the drummers’ tax law, which
will necessarily follow the recent deci
sion of the Supreme Court, has suggested
the wisdom of revising the whole list.
No less than sixty-two occupations are
especially taxed, aud the revenue from
some of these, it is said, will not repay
the state for the printing and the work
done in reporting collections. Accord
ing to ilic last report of the controller,

treasury, the bill-posters contributed sl2.

At last we are treated to a novelty In the way
of almanac-making. Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., the

1888, in the shape of a good-sized book, embrac
ing editions in English, calculated for various
sections of the United States, the Dominion cf
Canada, India, South Alfrica, and Australia;
also, editions in nine other languages. The
volume contains also specimen pages of pam
phlets issued by the company in eleven lan
guages not represented by the almanacs—twen
ty-one languages in all. From the preface we
learn that no fewer than fourteen millions of
these almanacs are printed yearly .thus placing
the work as far ahead of any other of the kind
in circulation and value as Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
is ahead of all others in merit and popularity.

The School (Jaestion.
Oae of the liveliest discussions that
the Georgia Senate has ever had, took
place over the public school bill. The
bill provided for the use of text books
throughout the state, with an amend
ment to the effect that, all things being
equal, the preference should first be
given Georgia’s authors, and then to
Southern authors. Senator Gibbs want
ed to strike out the clause ‘‘all things
being equal,” and leave it compulsory
with the State school commission to use
nothing but text books by Southern
authors without regard to the difference
in price and merit of such books and
those offered by Northern authors, lie
said in the course' of his speech that
there was not a book published north of
Mason and Dixon’s line that was not full
ol' sectionalism. After considerable dis
cussion, Senator Harris offered a substi
tute providing that a preference should
be given Southern books, and that, if it
was found necessary to purchase any
Northern books, the school commission
shall see to it that they contain nothing
of a sectional nature. The amendment
prevailed.
