WASHING SUMMER SUITS.

How annoying it is to have your beauti-
full linen suits or your delicate lawns and
percales turned into dark streaks and muddy
spots by the great quantity of soda used by
most washerwomen. Soda should never be
used in the water in which colored fabrics
are to be washed. The only way to wash
muslns or linens is to have merely tepid
water, and make suds, nor touch the arti-
Gle washed with soap. Wash and rinse quick
ly. Do not place but one garment at time
in the tub, and that must be rubbed rapidly
through the water, rinsed, turned on the
wrong side, and hung in the shade to dry.
Then starch the dresses in thin boiled, warm
starch, fold in clean cloths, and iron up
on the wrong side as soon as possible.
1t improves buff linen to wash it in water
in which little hay or a quart bag of bran
has been boiled. The bran answers for starch
as well, and brightens print dresses. A
handful of salt will help set the oolors of
light cambrics and dotted lawns. A little
beei's gall will not only set, but deepen yel.
low and purple tints, and helps green,

For the VERMONT FARMER.
FROM A WASHINGTON COUNTY
DAlRY-WOMAN.

Dear FARMER My fingers have tingled
to grasp the pen for several days, but my
multitudinOus duties have prevented me from
SO doing until to-day.
We have had hot, summer weather for
several days past, with little rain for long
time, and vegetation began to suffer seriously
but to-day the farmers hearts have been
gladdened by refreshing showers, and the
still, sultry atmosphere betokens more which
is most earnestly desired. Somehow the
weather is never quite satisfactory to COM
planning mortals; it is either too wet or too
dry, too hot or too cold for our comfort or
convenience.
Crops on moist land are looking pretty
we'll, though late as everything must be. 1t
seems that farmers were never 30 busy as
this spring The snow lay on the ground so
late that they could not commence to put
in their crops until long after the usual time,
consequently much work has been crowded
into short time and now haying is at hand,
and that will find little respite for some
weeks to come.
Many thanks to Mr.. Douglas for his pa.
tient answers to my many questions, and will
he pardon my stupidity in asking some that
he had already answered. The cause of my
blunder was the paragraph where he gave
the account Of his trial of the common pans
with the pals, and he said both messes were
allowed to stand until thick had this in
my mind when wrote the query, and, as
lent or misplaced the paper containing his
article, | did not then recollect that he had
advised skimming sooner in another place, as
it appears he did,
We had a set of Jewett pans put in on tri-
al the tenth of June, aud they are such an
improvement on the old method that | am
quite as enthusiastic over them as Mr.. Doug
las predicted, though l might have been
| Just as much 10 favor of the pals, had we
tried those. | can take care of the milk of
cur thirty-four cows as easily in these pans
as could the milk of FIVE in the old way,
but taking care of the butter is quite another
matter, as [ churn seven times week-just
a days cream at time. find that the
cream comes much quicker than when | at
tempt to churn more at once.
eau accept Mr.. Douglass theory in re-
gard to the milk being regulated better in
his pals than in the Jewett pans, and per-
haps in extremely hot weather he will get
more butter from the pals than we can in
the pans, but l cannot bring myself to be-
lieve that it is easier.
can skim and wash one of our pans in
thirty minutes,--some claim they can do il
in twenty, but annot,-there is no handling
Of the milk, it is carried to its receptacle re-
mote from the milk-room and the men can
use it when they choose. 1t seems to me
that there is the least possible work in taking
care of the milk by the use of these pans
and the butter is as nice as ever tastel

name from Geofry ~, Lord of the castle
of Montdoubleau in Normandy, France, who
brought back Arabian stations with him
when returning from crusade to the Holy
Land. These stations were bred to the best
class Of large Percheron mares, and their
produce bred together; thus they soon be-
came a fixed type and have continued as
such to the present day, as I have been in
formed.
As to Norman horses, they vary greatly,
are from 'l6 TO Is hands high, weighing
1900 to 1900 pounds. Perhaps in some
instances heavier than this. could not see
in France that this style of horse was any
better than those 1 found in Germany or
Great Britain. II is horse that will not
be popular in our country, and never ought
to be imported, according to my judgment
They are too coarse, too large, too slow and
TOO hairy, especially below the knee and on
the fetlockp. to suit Americas farmers. Nor
do wewant this very largest kind even for
city truck work 16i to II hands, weighing
l,40O to 1000 pounds, is the very largest
that we find useful here for heavy drays and
trucks and to endure on our stone pave
ments, and hard roads of any kind, even
these must have clean tough hoofs, and be
well set up in the heel. They must also be
very muscular, hardy and active, and to be-
come popular with eur smart-driving cart
men they must possess good action and have
a fast walk Dray horses here are worth
from 5000 to $5OO-very choice will some-
times even bring higher figure than this.

little of the corn or barley meal was fed
alone, but most of it fed with wheat shorts,
mixed in equal quantities by weight.
My sixth conclusion is, that grass is better
food than any kind of grain for dairy cows,
where milk alone is the object sought and
that no dairyman on good grass lands costing
less than sixty dollars per acre, can afford to
feed it during the summer season in connec-
tion with pasturage.

so for the last year. His horses look finely

at once absurd and distasteful. God gave
man dominion over every living thing that
moves upon the earth but He never made
man subject to the will and caprice of wo-
man." Did We not believe Alas for one
