Some horses cannot bear to be without company, especially in tho fields, while others apparently dislike it. and may be seen grazing always apart irom a iroop on some large ctomon or fell. I have known a horse of mature years fall as deeply and desperately in love with a donkey at first sight as the veriest moon nnlf that ever visited a ballroom. In fact, such was the poor auimal s pitiable nlioht that, after a day or two oi oora nunionshiD. be would not eat nntil the ass had made a start from his manger, fin the other hand. I have known a horse, at first averse to the society of the same donkev. after awhile grow quite fond of it, thus proving that platonio affection niav be a thing of slow or rapid srowtb between animals, as in human beings, according to individual disposl tion.

Pumpkins and cucumbers will grow verywhiTi'. but tbre seems to be a prejudice or conviction among many that melons are difficult to grow, uu tbe contrary, they can be grown as easily as any of tbe vine vegetables. Insects are tlinlr worst enemies, but are not troublesome after the vines have started to run. Air-slacked lime dustori Montreal. Melrose. Emerald oem.

Melons like a warm, moist, sandy or gravelly loam, though musk- melons will grow In a heavier aou man watermelous, but the flavor la best when grown on lighter land. The main secret In melon culture 'a to start the plunts early. Muskmelona should be planted 4x8 feet and water melons 8x10 feet apart. Tbey should be cultivated as long aa possible and will cover the whole ground at these distance. The land should be heavily fertilized with good manure, and a liberal handful of fertilizer hoed In around each hill. Big melons and lots of them do not grow where plant food Is senrce. Of the muskmelous and cantaloupes, the former being the round, in tted ones, and the latter tbe lone, smooth sorts, the Emerald Gem is one of the earliest and best. It Is milte small, dark green, deeply ribbed, has thick snlmon flesh, small cavity,", snd the very finest flavor. The Mel rose, a new sort, Is very handsome and good. Green Montreal is large, ana very goou, inie kiuu. yrituac Farmer, i bnlry Herd Infected. Commenting on the reported decision, of the French Government that all live Btock Imported into that country here-' after must be subjected to the tuber- culln test, the New York Tlinea says that this country should prepare for similar action on the part of other for-j elgn nations, to which we export carae to the value of about 30,0O0,000 per annum. The Illinois Board of Live Stock Commissioners has determined, "for the welfare of the general public and for the protection of the inmates of the various charitable Institutions throughout the State, to subject aij. dairy cattle connected with auch lnetl-i tutlons to tbe tuberculin test" Of the! large herd attached to an asylum In Elgin nearly half of the seventy-five cows were found to be tuberculous, The second herd which the commission era examined waa one of 182 cows, at-J tacbed to the Eastern Illinois Hospital, at Kankakee. Here forty-three were found to be diseased and were killed, i i To Prevent Horace Katlnst Bapldly. When a horse eats his grain too rap Idly as many horses do a device like that shown In the illustration la of ad-, vantage. It is a rectangle of stout' wire that will fit easily Inside tbe feed box, and from side to side are stretched lighter wires, or a piece of poultry net-j ting Is fitted Into the wire rectangle.! This, laid upon the grain In the box,' prevents the horse taking too large, moutnruis. it iaus, oi course, nu tut grain Is eaten. Where the grain fori the horse's ration Is poured Into the manger, the same end may be secured by nailing parallel strips of wood across WIRR COVER FOR FEED BOX the bottom of tbe manger. It much better, however, to feed In a box wblcb can be washed out occasionally, for where soft feed, especially, Is turned in to a manger, tbe latter is likely soon to become sour. Ho Cholera. ' Hog cholera makes fearful ravages wherever It appears on farms, and al though hundreds of remedies bava been suggested, yet there is no sure cure known. Experiments show, however, that where the disease appears most frequently Is on farms where the hogs are Inbred and confined too closely to a grain diet Feeding slop of a filthy kind Is also a cause. To avoid tbe dis ease feed the hogs on a variety of food, making grass an article of diet, give dean water, and procure new males every year. Potato? Farmers who are dirgusted with low prices for potatoes will find many others who are also not now very par tial to them, and there will probably b a much smaller crop this year, sim ply because farmers will not venture into a crop which gave- auch little profit as potatoes did Inst year. Tb fact la that It was not so much tho acreage devoted to potutoes last yea tbnt caused the large crop as it waa U tho favorable coudltlona for their growth, it being what Is termed a "good potato year." Klntr of Ineccticldea. The one supreme Insecticide Is -ee-seuej and kerosene emulsion should ta always kept on hand for Immediate us when needed. It Is Invaluable to sponged Into the bark of all trees twlea or threo times a year. I use It on ma ples, elms, and all uiwn as well aa or chard trees. It Is made by dissolving" balf a pound of any hnrd aoap In a ja lon of boiling water. Then add two gallons of kerosene and churn all to gether with a common force pump u-l the substance Is homogeneous; that la, churn for ten minutes. Use a pint ls a pall of water on strong trees, a weak er solution on tender plants. Tula Is the remedy also for cabbage worma, t add hellebore and ubo the comblnad mixtures on carrant worms snd all aoft- bodled pests. Kftectlve Bpraytusj. Smith Hawley. of Michigan, in a lec ture before the horticultural society of that State, said that the picture aa often seen In agricultural papers of a man standing on a wagon and throw ing spray luto apple trees as he wa drawn along Is a delusion. To do thor ough work one must go all about a tre and throw spray upon it from very direction. When this work is property done thetreea will retain their folia until the snow falls and will prodoeo much fruit on off years. Hay for Hogs, Peedlnir hay to hogs may seem new. yet thereare farmers who provide bulky- food to their hogs in winter, wura green food Is scarce, by cutting clover bay very short and steaming or acald- lng lt The cut hay, aitcr it ueco-i softened.

When covering Binall seeds be careful not to have too much earth over them. Thoy cannot push through the ground after germination In some soils, and, especially where the land banks. Such seeds as carrots, parsnips, turnips, tale, cnbbabe, etc., require only a align spriukllng of dirt for a covering.

They give the growing" stock the same rations which are al lowed to fattening animals, and mas no distinction between winter and suns mer feeding other than to use the pas ture In summer. It Is a waste of foot! to give corn and ground grain at every meal In tbe summer, unless moderately land It Is of no advantage to bave roan stock very fat i Royal Disobedience. An amusing anecdote Is told of' Princess Royal, now Empress Freder ick. When a child the queen had some difficulty In keeping her In or-' der. V ' I On one occasion, when Dr. Brown was staying at Windsor In attendant 'on Prince Albert the little princesses, hearing their father call him "Brown," used the same form of speech to bin also. ' ' J The queen at once corrected them for' it; all obeyed except tbe Princess Roy al, who was threatened with "bed" If. she did It again. i The next day, when Dr. Brown cam down to breakfast, tbe little princess. got up and said: I Uood morning, Brownf Then. see Ing ber mother looking at her, sha continued: "And good night Brown,, for I'm going to bed!" And she walk ed resolutely away to her punishment It lt well known that winds play oa Important role In the distribution of seeds. Prof. Bolley records that In two square feet of a three-weeks-old and tbree-lncb-deep snowdrift upon an Ice pond ten yards from any weeds he found nineteen weed seeds, and In so other drift similarly situated thirty-two seeds, representing nine kinds of weeds. While tbe wind was blowing twenty miles per hour a peck of mixed seeds waa poured upon the snow crust and ten minutes after 101 wheat grains, fifty-three flax seeds, forty-three buck wheat and ninety-ono ragweed seeds were found In a trench thirty rods from where they had been poured npon tho crust Tho dust and small cblps from tnr qnolM polishing can be made op Into artificial atones by means of hydra oilo preasnro that puzzle tbe best experts.
