Milkfng-Care of Cows Teats.

l BEGAN to milk when I was eight wears
old, which is sixty four years ago, and
there has not been more than two months
Id all OF the sixty four years, but what l
have every day had something to do with
COWS. And perhaps know as much about
COWS as any boy who is no older than |
am L have had some experience with
cows cracked teats. At night | wash the
teats with water Il prefer to have it warm),
then, with brush such as painters have,
having IN tin basin some pure hogs
lard melted, | give the cracks a good
greasing. Then | feed the cows with
something tina. they like to eat, which d.
Ierts their attention.
| commence stripping down the teats
with my thumb and finger; do not clasp
my whole hand harshly round the teat, for
by so doing the cracks will open and hurt
the COW. If the COW is inclined to kick,
do not whip her. | have long since found
1t better to pat them on their shoulders
and card their cheeks, speaking gently TO
them, than TO use all the eoadsticks one
can get hold of 1t takes some longer to
milk in this way, as l milk in long quart
measure, with one hand, going round, tax
ing only one quart at each time out of each
teat. When get all the milk | strip into
one hand and apply it to the teats, leaving
them quite soft and moist Then | have a
TWO quart tin dish, with handle, with
about pint of flour in it. and press the
dish up to the bag with the teats enclosed :;
shake the dish, and the -four will adhere
to the cracks. have been told that those
who tend gristmills do not have their
hands crack A wash made of milk and
molasses Of equal paris Is good to keep
the teats moist while milking, and to be
applied before the dish of flour is applied
To prevent the teats from cracking, |
grease the cows legs with lard where they
rub against the teats when the cow is tray
cling. In using these prescriptions it don't
affect the taste of the milk or butter, rs
oil and some other ingredients used BY
some other people. The flour acts as a
kind of paste on the cows teats.
Now there is a good deal of fussing
with cows, but what other animal can we
any better afford to fuss over than the
COW? We are deriving some benefit from
the COW every day in the year on the farm
When she does not give milk she is breed
ing, and her manure is on the farm, and
not wasted on the highways, as is that of
oxen and horses Cor. Mime Farmer

"ln a word, let US cherish to-day a
kindness as comprehensive as the Union,
love of local seif-government as sturdy
as the foundations Of the States, and
fealty to the destiny of the republic, sin
gle and steadfast"
The Hon Richard T. Jacob, of K en-

makes some practical and timely sugges-
Whatever is the work of the majority
of the people of two thirds OF the States
of this Union, is the supreme law of the
land. Above judges, above states above
every earthly thing, stands the will of the
constitutional majority of the people them
selves. They alone are supreme. As they
can make, so they can unmake. Coming
through the thToes of great and bloody
war, they decreed that slavery should no
longer exist, and created the Thrift enih
amendment 70 the Constitution, which
struck the shackles from four millions of
people. Let the voice of every patriot
say amen So with the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitu
ton. Thy were created by the constitu-
tiOnal majority Of the people, and though,
perhaps, not in the way and manner that
many Of US preferred, still they are the
supreme law CT the land and let every
good citizen obey. 1t is no new
departure FOR the Democratic party
to obey and rev renee the
laws. Opposition TO acts before they be
come law is perfectly Legitimate but after
they become the supreme law of the land
by the mighty power of the people, it is
not only going back on our record as a
party, but it is treason not to acquiesce.
We were taught thai ny the immortal
Hickory, who declared to the nullifiers Of
South Carolina that the laws should be
o0eytd. In that spirit the Democratic
party recognizes and Obeys the Thirteenth,
Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to
the Constitution. There is no conflict be
tween them and the Il. publican party on
those amendments. They have by the
great voice Of the people become law, and
III y as patriots obey thai law. They
recognize the great results of the war, and
these great questions have become dead
issues b fore the people. 1t is true the ex-

Poisoned TO Death.

A healthy liver secretes each day about two
and half pounds of bile, which contains
great amount of waste material taken from
the blood. When the liver becomes torpid or
congested, it fails to eliminate this vast
amount of noxious substance, which, there
fore, remains to poison the blood and be con-
veyed to every part of the system What
must be the condition of the blood when it
is receiving and retaining each day two and
half pounds of poison? Nature tries to work
off this poison through other channels and
organs-the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc. I; but
these organs become overtaxed in performing
this labor, in addition to their natural func-
tions, and cannot long withstand the press
ure, but become variously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical Gen.
ter of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the
unhealthy blood which passes to it from the
heart, and it fails to perform its office health
fully. Hence the symptoms of bile poisoning,
which are dizziness, headache, incapacity to
keep the mind on any subject, impairment of
memory, dizzy, sleepy or nervous feelings,
gloomy forbodings and irritabiity of temper.
The blood itself being diseased, as it forms the
sweat upon the surface of the skim it is so irri-
ored brown spots, pimples, blOtches and OF her
eruptions, sores, biles, carbuncles and Sc rolf
ulous humors. The stomach, bowels and
other organs spoken of, cannot escape becom-

and many other forms of chronic diseases, are
among the necessary results. As a remedy

After all that has hoon cold obou+ Dor;,

After all that has been said about Paris
green, and other poisonous remedies for
the potatoe bug, it turns out that picking,
or brushing OF, collecting and destroying
the insects, is the safest and surest rene
dy. ihe soiaDGms to which the potato
belongs are nearly all poisonous, and the
Colorado beetle no doubt acquires its poi
sonous properties rom feeding on them.
The vines of the potato contain large
proportion of poison, and when this is in
creased by the addition of deadly poison
like Paris green, it is probable that the
tubers will be unfit for human food. Some
farmers have saved their potato crops by
by picking off the bugs, and it is probable
that poisonous applications will soon go
out of use altogether Western Rural.

In purchasing a clothes wringer we prefer
one with cog-wheels, as they greatly relieve
the rubber rolls from strain that would other
wise occur, and add much to the durability
of the machine. The next point is to see
that the cog-wheels are so arranged as not to
fly apart when a large article is passed be-
tween the rollers. 1t matters not whether
the cog-wheels are on one end or both ends
of the shaft; if large articles disconnect
them, they are entirely useless. This Is very
important, for as the larger the article the
greater the strain, therefore if the cog-wheels
separate so a. to disconnect, they are of no
service when most needed. We have taken
some pains to examine the various wringers,
and much prefer the Universal" as lately
improved, because il has long and strong
gears (Rowell's Patent Double Gear, and is
the only wringer with patent stop" for
preventing the cog-wheels from separating so
