Caretaker is a won! adopted into modern use and means one who takes care of, and is very generally applied to those employed to take care of things committed to their keeping. The way some people have of taking care of themselves is verv suggestive of the need of a caretaker, 'the human body to such is a mansion tilled with pre cious things uncared for. where thieves mav break in and rust doth corrupt. Pains ami aches are thieves, and tlie body left uncared for to theirstsiliage will lie robbed of all its comforts and despoiled ot its peace of mind and happines*. It is a happy thought to look tqion St. Jacobs Oil as a caretaker, to employ it as a watchman against such intruders. There is hardly an ache, from a toothache to a toeache, that it can’t take care of and effect a cure, and pains the most violent are conquered by its use. Its office as a caretaker is to prevent the spread of aches and pains into a chronic stage. Keep a bottle of it in the handiest place and be assured of good care and comfort. The grain drill is quite too expensive to be allowed to remain out of dours ex posed to the weather when not in use. It should be carefully cleaned from all dirt, and those es[>ecially with a fertil- ■ lzer attachment should be scoured to take off tlie rust from use. and then coated with grease to prevent the air from getting to the metal. Most grain drills rust out rather than wear out. They are used, even where fall grain Is sown, only a few days In the spring and fall, and ought to last a lifetime There are more than 500 ordained with few repairs, if they are properly women preachers in the United States, The Wheelbarrow.

Exercise for Cows. The cow which is bearing young or giving milk is not uaturally a frisky animal. We never believed that she re quired much exercise. Most times when we have turned them out while cleaning their stables, instead of run ning about, the cow will be seen cud dled close to the stack to shelter herself from cold winds. It is still worse when The cow then needs stable. This arrangement is also use rain is falling. ful for getting in fodder corn from tile shelter rather than exercise, and can garden. Let tlie stalks first be piled keep warm standing still in her stable cross-ways of the bottom strips. Then better than site can while water Is be ing evaporated from her skin.—Ameri the other way. can Cultivator. s upplementing Knsiluge. There are all kinds of ensilage, vary ing, of course, with the material put into the silo. There is no magic in the silo to add to the nutrition of what is put Into it, though it may add to the nutritive value by making it more di gestible. Much of the ensilage from corn fodder is deficient in nitrogenous forms of nutrition. It needs to be sup plemented, not necessarily with richer ensilage, but preferably with dry food. Instead of trying to ensilage clover, which is difficult because it heats so rapidly, it is better to cure it and feed three to five pounds of good clover hay to all animals whose main ration is corn ensilage. If clover cannot lie had. use wheat bran or oats. Both linseed meal and cotton seed meal may lie given with good results to animals fell on corn ensilage. If possible some straw or hay should be given with these to increase their bulk and pre vent them from compacting in the stomach. Corn is not a good supple ment to corn ensilage, as it also is so largely carbonaceous. But corn and oats ground together and fell with cut hay or stray make a very good supple mentary feed. For Apple Clinking. The treatment for apple choking outlined and illustrated is said by a correspondent of the Orange Judd Farmer to prove ef fectual and never cause injury. Fig. I is made of %-inch r o u n d iron, the ends being 5 Inch es apart, the frame 12 inches in length f r o m the small loops at the end to the handle. The ring near the cen ter is 3 by 5 inches FIG. 1. FIG. 2. welded to the side ieces. Put a stm II cord through the end loops, slip the ring into the cow's mouth and fasten the cord over the head. Turn the handle down under the jaw, which will open the mouth, and the eow can then be held without further trouble. If the apple is not far down, it can be removed with the hand. The cow cannot bite or throw her head around if the handle is held firm. If the apple is too far down to remove by hand, take a rubber hose. Fig. 2, start through the ring and push the apple clear down into the stomach. Farm More Intensively. Securing Early Lettuce. The outdoor crop of spring lettuce may be made several days earlier by sowing the seed in some sheltered place late In fall. It is not likely that if sown now any of tlie lettuce will come up this fall. A few leaves scattered over the bed will keep the seed from injury, and it will sprout anil grow with the first warm weather in spring. Almost every one has seen self-sown lettuce on the beds where it was grown and went to seed the previous year. It is much more forward than spring-sown lettuce can be had in the same locality.

As fall rains are coming on some care is needed to trees lately planted. Very often the earth used to till around the trunk sinks away, leaving a hollow, which carries the rains down among the roots.

This is a protec tion against attacks of mice If the earth is closely- compacted. The earth should be pulled away from the trees in the spring. Grain Cheaper than Hay. If given with enough hay or straw or I cornstalks to distend the stomach, grain is better feed than bay. because j more easily digested. In the coarser fodder so much of the nutrition goes to sustain animal heat or the processes of digestion, that comparatively little is left to make flesh or milk or fats. The knowledge that some grain with hay makes cheaper nutrition is not half so widely extended as It ought to lie.
