The Brussels Post, 1887-5-6, Page 6issitrrn Netters. If'any farmer is still a believer In the barnyard system of wmtorieg cows, when he has a stable for them we want him to try the experiment of ifeeping a part of his cattle from this neelesssod exhausting, exposure and give them one-third lues food, and see if they do not do as well as those exposed to the cold with the extra food. At this season of the yeer farm. ars are apt to be short for feed, stud rather than buy will turn their stook out to pasture before they should. Thin dosenot pay. The stook will be injured by not getting ell the food they need, and great in• jury isdone the pastures by the close cropping and tramping early in season. Too early ploughing and getting spring grain sown while the soil sticks is often a cause of failure. It the season is early enough so that the surface will freeze over, less harm will '.le done, as this will pre. vent tide formation of a crust. But land plougbed wet in the spring if it has any clay in it, will be almost impossible to plough in midsummer ernext fall. Ono chief cause of scours is feed- ing calves cold milk. It is not nee- eesasy that it should be new or whole. Skim milk bas, except for fattening, nearly all the nourish- ment that it bad before the cream tabs taken off, but it must be warm ed to the temperature of new milk. With eggs as cheap as they usually are after Easter, one or two a day broken into the milk greatly (iotas to its value. The cauliflower is ranked among the chief delicacies of the garden, and requires and repays for more attention. Even the early sorts should have a richer, moister soil than is required for very early cab- bage. I advise two plantings in spring of first and second early ; Talso advise that late varieties be set.out•on rich ground the last of June. As with cabbage, set out the plants from two and a half to three feet apart, according to the aims of the variety. The hest blood purifier is good feeding and clean, well ventilated stables. But occaeionly, in spite of care, a horse may need a little lax- ative and alterative medicine or mild diuretic. Resin is always in- jurious, and saltpetre should only be given understandingly and never -indiscriminately. Sweet spirits of nitre is the safest diuretic, and on e or two ounces may be given daily for three days. 'A bran mash, with an cants of hypo/Mph/be of soda, is a safe alterative, and may be given daily at this season for ton days or two weeks. There are many meadows which have partly run out, and yet which cannot lie conveniently ploughed. Tliey can often be brought in good condition with a little grass seed and a dressing of manure harrowed rn fiver the bare places. This is better than plowing. A run -out meadow is of little good to plough for any crop, unless it eon be mor- tared. And with plenty of manure We ploughing will not be needed. When the sod is thickened by top dressing, the field may be profitably pet in hoed crops for a year or two, preparatory to being seeded down work that needs to be done eve year, Not only does frost Mee stones to the surface, but many a brought up in raking with the wi rakes now generally used whi scratch the surface enough to loosen stones. 1.h is the very small stoues that r.re most likely to dull knives of =were by getting between , he strands, which would push target ones out of the way without doing any damage.

Henry Douglas, of Burford vie lage, made quite a singular discovery while engaged splitting rails in the scamp on Mr. Eusley's farm, south of there. He bad felled a black -ash tree about twenty inches through, and upon opening the butt out he found three rifle bullets close to. gather in the centre of the heart, about eight feet from the bottom, There was a dark mark where the bullets had entered the trap, about two inches long, showing that they hall lodged where they were found when the tree was only four inches through, and that some ten 'inches of solid wood had grown over them. We were shown one of the bullets, wbich is perfectly round and with. out a mark, which would seem singular, as a bullet fired from a rifle, if only passiug through at inch of pine, becomes more or less flattened and bruised, Can some of our readers tell its how long a time bus elapsed since they Were first fired into the tree.—Burford Times. 0a uauitul ©'S' ts.

AL To cover the aide walls of a room 15x:15, by 9 feet high (GO yards) would take seven and one- half double rolls, which would (at $1.00) cost $7.50, or about $7.00 more than the Alabastine, to add to the cost of decoration. Re- member you have some kind of borders to buy and hang with the paper. Now, if the paper used is only 50 cents a double roll, then you have more than $8.00 left to add your borders ; and, if only 12} cents a roll, or 25 cents a double roll, you have about $1.50 to add to the cost of bor- ders, and all the time keeping in- side of the cost of paper and hanging. After once putting on these elegant borders, -etc., with the Alabasine tints, you can re- new and change the tints at a trifling cost, by simply brushing on one coat over the old, leaving the borders, the appearance of which will be much changed by another tint that will harmonize. The borders being out of reach are not defaced or torn, and, be- ing strong colors, do not show smoke, as clo tate side walls of rooms of plain surfaces. This can not be done with Kalsomine, as the borders do not stick to it well and as the old Kalsomine must be removed to apply the DOW. In addition to all this, a great r'rgument in favor of using Alabastine in place of paper and paint is in its being porous and a disinfectant, and admitting of "wall respiration," as described in reports of the Michigan State Board of Health as being very necessary to health, aside from the danger of poison in paper, and the moulding vegetable paste under paper, or the decay- ing animal glue it Kalsomine. Alabastine cements the cracks in walls and around casings, shntt ing out vermin, instead of har- boring them, like wall paper with flour paste. For sale by B. GERMY, BRUSSELS.
