FOR ALL cows UDDERs
That are caked use linseed oil very
freely. and have never failed to effect q
cure. Take a clean, good-sized paint
brush, a fine one that will hold the Gil,
and apply it thoroughly three times a
day, and take all the milk from the
teats you can get every time, and l
think it will effect cure; it has done
so with US every time.
| Let me further say that the same
brush and cup OF oil should stand in
the stable or milk yard the year
through, and every scratch. or crack or
or sore teat should get brush every
time before milking, and you will be
astonished to see how soon the sore teat
| will be we'll, and the COW will stand
quiet while being MIXED. Try 1t, dali
rymen; 1t costs but little, is very con-
yenient, and is not unpleasant to use
like grease. Be sure to put it on be-
fore milking, and it will be worked
| into all the fine cracks that some COWS
are famous for, and which will make
the gentlest cow kick man overland
| don't blame her elther.-L. F.. Scott,

A PEACH TIRE PRESCRIPTION.
A correspondent, hearing from all
Quarters complaints that the peach
trees are falling, advises the following
treatment: First, kill the borer, then
break up the ground slightly about the
trees, and spread refuse fax. stalks or
flax straws far enough to cover all its
roots. The experiment has been tried
on an old, languishing peach tree with
great success. 1t soon recovered, push
Ing out vigorous shoots, and was load
ed with larger and better fruit than
ever before. Or, in other words kill the
insects and mulch the soil. Just so
This treatment will be found to succeed
with other fruit trees as we'll "a the
peach. When the borer once gets into
the wood he cannot be cut out with u
knife. He must be punched out with
an annealed wire. The idea OF destroy
ing the pest by driving nail into the
tree is preposterous.-HeGTth and Home
DUCK RAISING.
Less Is known about the diseases of
ducks than of fowls. They are, in our
experience, best Matched by hens and
kept in a dry pen for several weeks.
Give plenty OF grass, frequently, re-
newed, keep water always before them
in shallow vessels, and feed often. A
pen of boards foot high, covered with
1aths nailed across the top, with one
corner or one end covered, to exclude
rain, is all sufficient. This pen should
be frequently shifted upon dry grassy
ground. IT one is noticed moping,
swelled up, or out of sorts In any way,
give soaked bread and milk, red with
Cayenne pepper. The best are Rouens,
Aylesbury, and Cayuga blacks. Points
of excellence for common purposes are
size and number of eggs.
Every person can raise his own to-
mato and egg plants with very little
trouble. Select a warm border, enrich
heavily with horse manure, pulverize
the ground thoroughly, and SOW pretty
thickly, thinning out if necessary. a
common windoW-sash or two, raised
two or three inches over them, on any
kind of supports, will greatly facilitate
their vegetation and growth. II they
are transplanted into their beds when
they are three or four inches high, so
that they will stand about three inches
apart each way, 1t will cause them to
become very stout in the stem, and they
will branch considerably, making
much stronger and more productive
plants. Tomatoes should not be set
out for crop until the ground Is warm
and weather settled, say last of April
or first OF May, the latter perhaps, the
better. Egg plants should never DO set
out before the last week in 1Iny. We
prefer the Fiji tomato, and the long,
purple eggplant.
A CORES pondent of the Country Gem
Uend1 in Burlington county, N. j.,
says that very large water melons are
grown extensively in that locality in
the following way: The ground is plow
ed and then marked with pillow into
rows nine or ten feet apart each way,
and hole sufficiently large to hold half
a bushel of manure is dug at the cross
ings of the burrows, and large shovel
ful is thrown in each hill and covered
with soil. The hill when completed
should be four inches higher than the
general surface of the soil. Eight or
Zen seeds are sown in each hill. but
only one plant is left to bear fruit. II
very large ones are wanted allow but
very few to the hill.
