Cnre for Lumpjr Jnw. Astotheamnioulncurefor lumpy Jaw, ire Inive only the assurance of a .Mr. Win. .Mctcnif. (irey County, Ontario, who writes the Farmers' Advocate us follows: I have used It for years, and cured every case, uo matter how bud, Just ruli a little on lump, or lumps, as Miiietiines there are Beverul. They will disappear Kradually in a short time Soinet lines. If very bad, I foment with pretty warm water, but no! hot enough to scald. The ammonia has then more iliiuiee to penetrate, but I seldom do anything but rub a little on with my tinsels out of a ten-eeut bottle I keep lu 1 lie stable for the purpose. Waatc of twtet lorn Rtalks. Isiuilly on each stalk there are two or more ears, one fully ready for use a f-rccu corn, the other small and liiiiiui Hire, lo save thin lust the stalk Is left uncut. Hut lu most cases the second, mid always the third ear I too small to he prolitahly marketed. Whenever there Is only one ear on u stalk It should nt once be cut and fed to the row or lioise. It Is worth more then Hum It ever will tie ugaln. We lire not ure that this Is not true, even when there are one or more nubbins left on the stalk, If fed to nillch cows. Drill nnry fothler corn Is very poor feed. It needs to be supplemented, us this sweet corn rodder does, with a greater amount of nutrition, which Is worth as lunch in Im-reiiscd milk yield as It Is lu a few nubbins of corn. Sweet corn fod ler Is more wnsted than any other. It Is wasted In trying to save nubbins of corn worth more for feeding than they lire for anvthiug else. Cultivator. A Coot Ftnb'e Floor. We may not be nble to lay a cement floor, we may not be able lo buy luni Ur. but, In most eases, we have some clny on the farm, and, If so, there I no excuse for not having n very fair stable Ih'or. 1 out the top soil, mid till lu at least six Inches of clay which lias been worked thoroughly with wnt r. and about one-sixth eon I ashes, or line gr ivel, and straw chopped to about lu an Inch In length, so ns lo form a Jougli, nilhcslve inns. The preliminary mixing inn be done with n hoe, but the working proper should be done by tramping thoroughly, either by innn or nurse. Drive In Utile peg to show the "lope desired, mid then ram It llrnily with a large wooden rammer. Smooth It off, using a straight edge from peg to peg. anil nllow time to dry properly be foie using. Such n floor will stand a pond deal of wear, nnd can be kept rea sonably clean. Orange Home. Farming Gooil Dullness. Fifty-flvc years ago I wiis busily en Paged on h farm; It seemed to. me n hard life, and us soon as I was 111 year "Id I sought an easier one, but I cannot "'".v that I found It. ATter worklujf at different kiuds of business for fourteen .vears (seven and one-half years being "pent In Illinois ami Missouri I en Iaek to my native place broken In health nud fully persuaded that farm ItiK was nut the hardest business one could choose. After my second experi ence of thirty-five yenrs I still have the same opinion. r'armlng us a reliable w ay of gettliiK 1 living ha not changed materially In lifty-iive years, but tlie way to run a f ii rin has chnuged. The trouble alsnit fanning Is that you cannot Induce the nilddle-aged man to make the changes Unit the times require, and the young man who lives ou the home farm must. n'l will, do as Ida father used lo do. The one easy thing to learn now Is the eight or ten-hour system for a day. The clenee of farming has changed ns '""eh as that of manufacturint:- The IwtVl spinning wheel has ls-cu set aside, and bo, to a lurge extent, must the hand hoe and the I and scythe, the hind rake nnd the one-horse plow. The "Id four pound lump of butter must Ik? W11 made Into eight half sund prints; milk mus: be put Into glass cans; all kinds of fnilt must look Just so and the "wa must be groomed to look at tidy gentleman' bone, and so on to the H. ... the time he lariiiiiiL' U an friu.t i. ii. i TJ1"- Afar,,,.

Tare should lie taken to suiiiiress oul.-klv all shoots of the obnoxious growth that will appear outside the mulched area.

While nl pasture, the young sheei. should hav' acces to wilt. A Hock will visit the suiting place twice 11 day reg lihirly. Suit Is a good tunic and pre vents Indigestion, which produces de structive diarrhoea, all the worse when the weather Is warm. I'rof. II. K. Van I inn 11 say that a crop of clover or cow pens plowed un der every two or three years In the orchard will stimulate growth sulM cieiitly, ami a it would take twenty load of stable manure per acre to do the same, the former is the cheaper.

The Infection takes place when the corn I young, the germinating spore entering the lenderes- part--! ho root, mule ami lowest Jolnl-nnd after tlie disease I once In the plant no applica tion will do the least good. In regard lo detassellng coi n- thai Is, to break down the tassels or n ive them, a practice' which has been advo cated as enabling the farmer lo secure larger ylehls-experln cuts show that there Is nothing gained by so doing, while the labor required Is an Item of expense that Is bestowed when the far reim Is- growing green fothler or some other crop for cattle food. The numgots which annoy sheep so severely are liaicneti iroiu eggs ucimi Ited lu the nostril by a tly, and the sheep use every cITort possnue to pre vent the tly from so doing, line r cuy 1 to put tar on the nostrils. 1 111s may be done by placing wimhI tar where the sheep can get at It ami throwing a handful of suit on tlie tar, tlie siieep getting the tar on me nosirns wiuie eating tlie tab. Salt I an Important aid lo digestion, nnd especially so to nil ruminant mil- nulls. If cows are not saltetl frequently thev will cat more mini is goon ior them when they do Kct a s to salt. In large quantities salt Is laxative, It being an Irritant to Ih" bowels, w hich are therefore purged to get rid of It. Kiillure to salt regularly will make tlie cream more ditlicnlt lo turn Into butler, thus repaying the farmer for his care lessness by plvlng him u longer ami harder Job at churning.
