A. H. FRISBY, Gawl 
er Place, opposite Macrow & Son. 
There isa whole lot of plant food in 
any soii fit for agriculture. 
There is no profit in a pure-bred pig in 
the hands of a poor feeder. 
In Belgium breeders are obliged to 
keep a record of all cattle raised by them, 
and each animal hasa registered trade 
number, which is engraved on a ring 
_ fastened to its ear. 
; Tf a horse has a bluish or milky cast in — 
his eyes he will be liable to goblind at 
any time. 
Tf a horse’s knees are bent or tremble, 
he has been permanently injured by heavy 
pulling, y : 
The feed of sows just before farrowing 
time should be strengthening and not 
heating. he Sti 
A young sow is easily injured by being 
bred too soon after she has farrowed her 
first litter, not having time to recuperate. 
To command a good price the draught 
horses must move well, and must have 
good length and straightness of stride. 
In Nova Scotia there is a flourishing 
fox farm. Itis not the brushes of the 
animals but the skins that are wanted, 
It is calculated that in Germany 240.000 
tons of potash, and still more phosphate 
of lime, are extracted annually from the 
soil in the crops, the oxen, sheep, milk, — 
and wool, ; 
To teach a steady fast walking gait is 
‘one.of the most important points in the 
training of a work horse, :

There is no other stuff raised on the 
farm quite so good for colts and calves as 
nice, bright oats. Colts nibble at the 
oats quicker than anything else, and it 
keeps them coming.

eupervision. 
_ With his wonderful appetite and diges- 
tive powers, itis the height of folly to 
keep the pig on short rations. 4 
The best pigs are found only amongst 
the best breeds, and it is useless to look 
for them elsewhere. 
If a horse’s legs areiscarred, look out 
for a kicker or a stumbler. 
The growing popularity of draught 
horses among farmers is assigned as a 
principal reason for the shortage in the 
saddle horse class. ; 
When the farmer postpones his attacks 
on weeds he incurs the risk of not being 
able to eradicate them at some critical 
period of their existance, and the pests 
will then have done damage by depriving 
the crop of moisture and plant food when 
the season is most propitious for growth. ~ 
No aged sow that has proved herself a 
good breeder and suckler should be dis- 
‘posed of to make room for young and 
untried sows so long as she raises large 
litters of good pigs. :
