In a recent number m the American Agrieuliuriet, Dr. Thnrber gives a method of treating sheep, which is quits popular in Franoe, both for preventing the t^pread of foot tot and curing mild oases. Stullow tanks or trays are placed at the doors of the sheep barn, and the animals ss they go out and fai, bathe their feet in a Lqaid made by slacking quick lime in water. The tanks are ten feet lon^, and have slats nailed on the bottoms to pre* Tent the sheep from slipping and fallug all orer into tiie caastic«' solution. The depth should be only enough to well cover the hoofs. Foot rot ii much more oonunon on damp soils where the shell of the hoof grows faster than it wears off. Parinii must always be attended to in such localities. Feed Growing CUck8 WelL In midsummer young chickens are grow- ing more rapidly than at any other period in the year. They love the watm weather, if tbev are cf the larger varieties, especially; and if they have roaming room they cannot well be overfed, because they find such a variety of insect and green food in the oourse of their daily jonmeys around the farm cr country plat. Their condition is quite different from that cf adult or maturely-grown fowls. These may be overfed easily, and will put on fat eternally, to their discomfiture and detriment. But the young stock, in good thrift, convert what they eat into flesh, bone and muscle, and continue to thrive during the heated season upon all they will ordin- arily pack av ay m their craws, particularly f allowed a variety of good ^.rovender. Dent stint them, therefore, in feeding, but give them all they will eat up clean. Thus they will grow in stature and keep generally in good health. It is a mistake to undeifeed the growing chickens. They require more solid fcod fiom the lime they are three to six or seven mi nths of age, in prcpcrtion, than at i.ny time before cr after- ward in their lives. This fact is v. orth cb- servinf; and remembering by all who aim to have the "best birds" in the succeeding iall and winter, ancualiy. â€" Poultry Yard. Sow Now for Spring Flowers. While our gaxdentj present a much greater variety than aid those of a half century ago, there are some plants in which the old-time gardeners excelled. We do not tee such beds of Pan^ie ' or of Rocket Larkspurs, as were then the pride of the gardeners. Suc- cess with Pansies is ma nly due to sowing the seed in autumn. If the seed is sown in spring, by the time the plants be«[in to bloom hot weather comes, and the flowers become fewer and smaller. In order to have the flowers in spring, bow the seeds early this month. MLke a epot of rich soil fine, and level the surface by pressing it with a board. Sow the seeds, sift a little soil over them, and press down firmly with the board. When the plants are an inch high, trans- plant them to the place they are to flower The plants are quite hardy, and all the winter protection they need ]8 a little brush to keep the snow from pressing too heavily upon them, 'J'he Rocket Larkspurs are, unlike the ta^l ones, annuals. A bed or them is as showy as one of Hyacin hs. Sow in a well enriched bed this autumn, but leave them to flower where tbey were sown. The bed may be covered with brush during the winter, and if the plants are too much crowded in any part of the bed lext spring, thin them by cutting out the surplua. They do not transplant satisfactorily. Aatnnin Care of Meadow Land* Meadows should not be closely grazed at any time, and especially not in the fall. They need to have fertilizing materiiJ* add- ed to instead of taken from the soil. Young animals are much more injurious than mature ones, while full-grown stock that are being fattened, and are fed rich trrain ra- dons, may by tiieir droppings add materially to the fertility of the toil Young-gtowing stock withhold a large share of the potash, Ehosphoric acid, and nitn^ien of the food to nildup their bodies, leaving the manure comparativeljr poor. ,0n the other hand mature fattoiing animals need very little of these three ohici elements of soil fertility. Aside from the loss of plant-food, the cIom feeding of stcck en meadow land dees me- ohanicsl damage. If the soil is soft, the feet of the animals injure it, and the close grazing pulls much of the grsas up by tho roots. Meadows, like winter grains, are injured by fret sing and thawing, and the Elants need to be in a vigorous condition m kte fall, with a good growth of .at after- math for protection from the froets, win Is, etc. WeU-rotted manure applied to the meadows as a top-dressing, will ktrengthen the plants and insure a fine crop the next season. This application is best when made soon after the hay is removed. Later in the season much of the soluble material is wsahed out of the soil by tiie fallndns. Quick acting manures should be used in the growing season, other- wise loss is sustained. Take good oare of the meadows, for they su£»r greatly if abused. They are easily and often injured by animals in late antamn. â€" ^^merscaii Agri- eu'.turitt.

So bur as my ezpenenoe goes, there to no more tronble in raismg an early lamb than a late one. In fact, oar e;irlitBt lapbs are almost invariably onr beat lambs. I wonld rather have lambs come in January and February than in April and May, and if I conld have them earlier, I should prefer it. Merino awes wiU take the ram earlier in autumn than the English breeds of mutton sheep. For thto reason, if tor no other, tot raising earily kmbe for the butcher, I should select common Merino ewes, or at any rate ewea having more or less Merino blood in them. Tbere are other reasons why I should select such ewes, There are mere of them in the country, and they can be ob- tained cheap. Tuey are healthy, hardy, thoj oughly acclimated, and will stand rough- er treatment than the English muttcn sheep. They are smaller, eat less, and oc- cupy less room in winter quarters. They will bear crowding better than the lars;e English sheep â€" or rather, they suffer less, for it to a mtotake to keep any sbeep in too close quarters. Common Merino ewes, like Jersey oows, when well-fed, give rich milk, and if you want early, fat lambs for the butcher, the mothers, no matter what breed you may select, most have plenty of nutri- tious food. I do not eay that common Merino ewe, are, in themselves, tlie best for raising early Iambs, They are not. I have had grade ewes, the eff pring of a mixed Merino ewes and a Gotswold ram, that would produce lare;er lambs, give more milk, and the l^mba would fatten more rapidly, and mature earlier. But it is not always easy to fine such ewes for sale. Those that you find in market are apt to be culls. The butcher, if he has a chance, gets the best Ismbs, A good plan is to go to seme large market and buy a car load of sbeep, or three or four times as many ** yi u want. Bring them home, and pic* oat the best ewes, and then seil the other ^wea and wethers to the butchers â€" American Aqricultvriat. When young men desire to enter college, they are obliged to pass an examination m grammar, algebra, geography, etc. Those elementary studies are Lot taught in colleges, Tne private or public Echool fits the student fcr colleee. In like manner, young men should be constrained to pass an examina- tion in plowing, hoeing, £owing teeds, etc.' lefore entering agricultual colleges. The farm should be to them the public or private school. Why should farmers' tons spend their time in learning* in agricultural col- leges what they can as well learn at home A Complicated Case- A curiona case is before the Tribunal i« Paris. A gentleman was getting down from an omnibus in a crowded thoroagh- fare, when he missed his footing, nearly fell backward, and, to recover his bal- ance, caught hold of another passenger. The latter, taken by snrprue, also foond himself in danger of falUng, and, in his turn, caught hold of a woman with an in- fant in her arms, the upshot being that all four rolled together into the road. A heavy goods van was coining along behind which, had it not been for the prompt action of the omnibus conductor, who •eized the horae'a.head, would have ran over some of t^e prostrate forms. As it was, the gentleman who was the original cause of Uie accident escaped with a few trUSing brotses the other male passenger falling on him was nothurt at all, and uie infant was equally fortunate but its mother had her arm broken, and sustain- ed other severe injuries. Which of the two gentleman shonid pay damages u the question â€" the one who caught hold of her or the one who caused him to do so by catching hold of him. Hurt Us Ctoad Haae.
