We have often seen tho advlco In oiiie of tlio agricultural columns to feed the horse before watering him, but we never had gewd success In con vincing ono when he come In from a drivo or a day's work that ho should wult for n drink until after ho hod eaten. Wo never tried very hard be cause wo thought ho knew better than they writers of such paragraphs whether ho wnn more thirsty thnn hungry or nut, and we know that while a glass of wnter tasted good before a meal we did not caro for It after we were through eating unless tho food was too salt. Now we liavo n report of an English sxperlment In which one horso was given four quarts of oats, and then al lowed to drink. Soon after he was killed, and scarcely one quart of tho mini- mi to en "7",I",(1 t the Intestines, entire- y ""'d'Kested.

When we fed grain to our milch cows In summer wc gave It only at night, and we thought It better, because they digested It better while at rest; but It tuny have been so for no other reason than thnt wo watered before feeding at night and after feeding In the morn ing. When the hay or cut corn fodder was wet a little and the ground grain mixed with It, ns In winter, probably It made less dlrference. American Cul tivator. I.utnpjr Jaw. The malady commonly lumpv Jaw la caused by germ, writes a stockman. known as a fungous It makes Its growth on weeds and grass of low land, taking the form of mildew, which grows up In spores flllcd with number less seeds. These are taken Into the animal's mouth with grass and food and there commence their deadly work. Animals aro most readily Infected with these germs when cutting their teeth, the fungi getting Into the In flamed tissue and thence Into the blood. They start an abscess, not necessarily In tho Jaw, but generally there. Pus forms and discharges, drops on the grass or food eaten by others of tho herd nnd, being full of germs, spreads the disease from one to another. After the pasture has been affected with these germs It should be plowed and cropped for two or three years. These germs can be killed In the animal's body by a careful treatment of V& drams of Iodide of potash for a 1,000 pound animal, once a day for four days, then twice a Cay for four days and then once a day for four days. Rest one week, and then repeat treat ment. Keep tho animal In the barn all the time, and give Iodide of potash In the drinking water. The above rem edy will exterminate the disease, but If the Jawbone has tiecoine honey- combed nnd the teeth loose In tho Jaw It will not take away the lump. All cattle having the disease should 'be kept apart from the rest of the herd, and the milk from such rows should not bo used. Wati'lT Huilclnic Ilnrse. In talking about a husking horse. why not make one right? Take the whols off the corn plow and have nn axle of gas plpo the length desired; then take two pieces 10 feet long, 1x3, for sides, made llko a wheelbarrow. Then put uprights 4 fect high In a slant over the wheels. You can husk on one end and pile the fodder on the other end. 1 use It for carting fodder from ono shock to the other. I have hauled five shocks at once on It. It Is very handy In winter when feeding when the ground Is frozen to wheel fodder or straw on. G. D. Work, In Ohio Farmer, Coit of Ment an 1 Hntter. The same feed which Is required for producing one pound of butter will make two pounds of gain on the steer. The Minnesota Experiment Station found that 100 pounds of grain mlxturo with an equal amount of bay and roots fed to four steers produced 24.10 pounds of gain, and an equal amount of same food fed to four cows pro duced 12.04 pounds of butter. Tho typo Is not of so much significance with vhe steer as with tho dairy cow, for tho reason that n steer not of good typo may be n largo feeder nnd a good di gester and convert all tho food taken over his own maintenance Into gain. while a cow not of the dairy typo has tho alternative of converting food either Into milk or gain, and she may choose tho latter when tho owuci wants on'y the former. Don't Clip the Wlnsr. Tho clipping of, wings Is, to say tho least, a cruel practice and often results In the loss or Injury of our most valu able fowls Is the sensible conclusion of i poultry writer ln Homo and Farm. A 1IU8KINO nORSK. Tho temptation to go to the highest portion of tho roost Is too strongly In bred In the fowls to resist nnd they will Invnrlnbly manngc to get to the top. Then, In their hnsto to get down they fall, hend over heels, having no means of protection. I linvo seen fowls at tempt to fly from n perch fully ten fect from tho ground, Invariably with ths same results. Tho fenco can alwnys bo built high enough to keep them In tho ynrd nnd, nsldo from all Injury the clipping does, their beauty- Is so marred that ono should refrain from such unnecessary mutilation. A fence four fect high will keop the Leghorns at home. The cost of wire Is so moderate that every ono may eanlly provide a good fence for the yards without resorting to any cut ting of wings. The l'cn T.otur, Tho new pest, tho destructive pea aphis, has In tho last two years Inflict ed enormous losses In various regions where peas nro grown for canner ies, as Maryland, Delaware, New Jer sey, Now York und Connecticut. Mich THE VKA 1.0 USE. igan and Wisconsin also have Buffered from It Some of the scientists claim that It Is naturally moro an enemy of clover than of peas. An encouraging feature noted In CLnada Is that wher ever the aphis occurred It was attacked by parasitic enemies, the most vigorous of these being the small orange Inrvoo of a species of dlplosls mlnuto mag gotswhich suck the Juice out of the body of the aphis. The "brush and cul tivator" method of fighting tho pea louse Is accepted ns the most generally effective. For this It Is necessary that the peas be planted In rows, and when the Insects are noticed the vines aro brushed backward and forward with a good pine switch In front of a cultiva tor drawn by a single horse. In this manner the plant lice are covered up as soon as they fall to the ground, and a large proportion of them aro destroy ed. Peas sown late or on poor ground sustain most damage. The pea apbls Is shown In the sketch many times en larged. t Molmaet from Melon. D. Ilnnz, a farmer of Georgia, has discovered a new source of molasses ln the Georgia melon patch. According to his experiments and calculations, 270 melons will make thirty gallons ot syrup worth $15. The melons for mar ket would be worth ?5 or $0. This Is Important, It true, and It may be true. The value of melon molasses must de pend on Its quality. It may be practi cally worthless. If the sweet ot tho melon can be granulated to produco sugar, melon sugar may be worth at tention, but the sweet of melon Julco Is so diluted that It Is not likely to com pete with the sugar beet The sources of sugar are many. In the North tho sugar maple Is an unfailing source, al though greately neglected. If the waste lands on every farm were planted With sugar maples, or even seeded, and kept free from cattle. In due time the owner would have good timber trees and a never-falling source of revenue ln maple sugar. The price of that article Is high enough to warrant farmers In setting maple groves. Twentieth Cen tury Farmer. The Weeler. A writer In the Practical Farmer say's that one of the best farmers ln Minnesota recently declared at bis home Institute that tho weeder had been worth $1,000 to blm during the last ten years, it naa enamou mm to take bet ter caro of bis crops, at less expense for labor. He told how he and the hired man would run the cultivators In corn and potatoes after a rain had packed the ground, and after three or four hours one of tho boys would follow after with a weeder and his pony, and at night It made the father al most ashamed the boy had done so much more good than ho had. All who have used weeders have only good to say of them. They will do tho best work on mellow, clean land. Rubbish on the surface and stones would Inter fere with their use. Do not be In n hurry to get Into the Oeld when It Is wet with dew or rain. Walt until the ground Is dry, nnd then you enn cul tivate and hoe fifteen or twenty acres per day. All weeds can be kept In check by beginning early nnd going over the ground every four or live days. A Terfect Prdlree. If we were to buy an animal for breeding purposes we should Insist upon a perfect pedigree or should re fuse to pay any fancy price. But what constitutes a perfect pedigree? It Is not a long line of descent from some fa mous animal, nor yet one In which we can trace several crosses of his blood, but we think It Is one In which we can find no ancestor of a grade lower than what we are seeking to establish or perpetuate. Each and every one should be as good or better than Its predeces sor, aud the stock should show Indica tions of Improving In each generation. With such a peellgroo the Increnso would never go back If the proper core was given, but would produco better results nil of tho time. New England Farmer. The pule Crop.
