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

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.

working proper should be done by

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.

The one easy thing to learn now Is the
eight or ten-hour system for a day. The

Farm Note.
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.
Smut doc not pas from stalk to
stalk in the coriitiehl. and there I no
danger of (oiitaiiiliiiitloii In thl way.

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

harder Job at churning.
