“ DESPISE NOT SMALL THINGS.” 
That is a good motto for wise men. 
In these times the “ big things” have 
big spaces between them, and in order to 
chink in the holes and corners, it is 
often necessary to make use of what 
might seem small to us in other times. 
The beauty of a little scheme or plan is 
that it is condensed. We put the yeast 
of our thought and energy into it and it 
begins to expand. First you know, it is 
so big that it covers the whole hole so 
well that there is no hole left. How 
much better to start with a small thing 
and have it grow large on your hands 
than to start with a big thing and have 
it dwindle down to nothing. 
Speaking of small things, remember 
the small ads of seeds, stock, eggs, etc. 
Don’t pass them by. The men who print 
them are mostly farmers like yourself. 
Stay by them and thus help along a 
domestic reciprocity. Don’t neglect the 
small advertiser. 
I N paint the best is the cheapest.—Don’t be 
misled by trying what is said to be “just as good,” but when 
you paint insist upon having a genuine brand of 
Strictly Pure White Lead 
It costs no more per gallon than cheap paints, and lasts many 
times as long. 
Look out for the brands of White Lead offered you ; any of 
the following are sure: 
“ANCHOR” (Cincinnati). “JEWETT” (New York). 
“ARMSTRONG & McKELVY ” (Pittsburgh). “KENTUCKY” (Louisville).

“SALEM” (Salem, Mass.) 
“ SHIPMAN ” (Chicago).

“ULSTER” (New York). 
“ UNION ” (New York). 
For Colors.— National Lead Co.’s Pure White Lead Tinting Colors. 
These colors are sold in one-pound cans, each can being sufficient to tint 25 pounds of 
Strictly Pure White Lead the desired shade; they are in no sense ready-mixed paints, but a com¬ 
bination of perfectly pure colors in the handiest form to lint Strictly Pure White Lead. 
^ A good many thousand dollars have been saved property-owners by having our book on 
painting and color-card. Send us a postal card and gel both free.

Horse-Uadish machines.—W here can I procure 
horse-radish machines of the latest Improved pat¬ 
terns? Also where can bottles be proonred to the 
best advantage 7 S. A. P. 
ANS —For machines write the Enterprise Mfg. Co., 
Philadelphia; for bottles, Wbltall, Tatum & Co., 46

Watering Horses.—I saw a statement In a 
weekly paper some time ago, that It Is considered 
best to water horses after feedlr g them. This being 
contrary to the general advice, will The U. N.-Y.’b 
veterinarian give bis opinion as to which Is prefer¬ 
able, watering before or after feeding, with the rea¬ 
sons therefor 7 J. L. B. 
ANS.—A horse should always he watered the first 
thing In the moaning, not given an excessive quan¬ 
tity, but, say, a half pallful. If this be done, he will 
not drink much after feeding, though he should have 
a little more then if he wishes It. If a horse be very 
thirsty, and be watered Immediately after feeding, 
the large quantity he Is likely to drink will have a 
tendency to rush the feed along so fast that It will 
not be properly digested. The great trouble with 
watering horses Is that they are often allowed to go 
too long without drinking especially In hot weather, 
and so gorge themselves when they have the oppor¬ 
tunity. They should be watered frequently, and If 
this be done, there Is seldom danger In allowing them 
to drink all they want. The owner should consider 
his own case, and apply the same rules to bis horse. 
He doesn’t want to come In warm and thirsty and at¬ 
tack a dry meal without something to wet his whistle 
first; neither does the horse. He wants to drink fre¬ 
quently In hot weather; so does the horse. It Is bad 
for him to gorge himself with cold water; so It Is for 
the horse. 
Pruning Currants.—How shall I trim black cur¬ 
rant bushes for a crop this year 7 They have been 
set two years and bore last year. Some say the crop 
of this year Is borne on last year’s wood. I suppose 
that means to cut out all wood except sprouts that 
grew from the ground last year. Is that right 7 1

It is so easy to Contract a Cold, which 
from Its obstinacy, may entail a long siege of dis¬ 
comforts before getting rid of It that the afflicted 
should resort at once to that old-established remedy.

FERTILIZERS 
ARE UNPROFITABLE, 
Unless they Contain Sufficient Potash. 
Complete fertilizers should contain at least six per 
cent of Potash. Fertilizers for Potatoes, Tobacco, 
Fruits and Vegetables should contain from 10 to 1 
per cent of Potash. Farmers should use fertilizers 
containing enough potash or apply Potash salts, 
such as Muriate of Potash, Sulphate of Potash and
