Right and Wrong way to Min.


The Irish Farmers Gasette publishes
the following from Prof Dick, on the man.
ner Of milking.
The operation is performed differently in
various parts Of the country. In some the
dairy.maid dips her hands into little milk
and by successfully stripping the tcat be-
tween her fingers and thumb, unloads the
udder. This plan, however, is attended
with the disadvantage Of irritating more
or less the teat, and rendering it liable to
cracks and chaps, which are followed by
inflammation extending to the rest Of the
quarters. These effects may be, aud are,
almost entirely avoided by the most scien-
tifc plan of milking adopted in other parts
OF the country, where, instead Of drawing
down or stripping the teat between the
thumb and fingers as | have stated, the
dairy-maid follows more closely the princi-
plies which instinct has taught the calf She
first takesa slight hold Of the teat with her
hand, by which she merely encrces it,
then lifts her hand so as to press the body
Of the udder upward, by which the milk
escapes into the teat or if, as is generally
the case, when some hours have elapsed be-
tween milking times, the teat is full, she
grasps the teat close to its origin with her
thumb and fore.fnger, so as to prevent the
milk that is in the teat from escaping up
ward, the nmaking the rest of the fingers to
close from above downward in quick success
sion, forces out what milk may be contain.
ed in the teat through the opening of it.
The hand is again pressed up and closed as
before, and the milk drawn easily and free
ly, without the tugging inflicted by clumsy
mixers.

Having Tools.

Thousands of farmers under whose eyes
this item will fall will find it peculiarly
addressed to themselves. Its object is to
induce them to make use of the first stormy
day to overhaul their moving machines,
tedders, horse.rakes and forks; see that
every worn part is renewed and every
weak part made strong, and that everything
connected with them is in frstrate running
order, duplicates being provided of such
pieces as are liable to break in the field. A
dollar spent now may save many dollars in
lost time and damaged hay. There is no
more unpromising sight than that of a
farmer driving FIVE miles to town in the
height of the haying season to repair last
summers damages to his hay-rake.

The Depth to Put Manure.


One of the advances of modern agricul.
tural science is in the knowledge Of how
the roots Of plants feed At one time a
root was root, and that was all but it is
now well known that roots are of two classes,
only one Of which has much TO do with
furnishing food for the plant, These are
commonly known as f5res They work
during the season in taking up manure
from the soil, and at the end Of year they
mostly die as the leaves do. With the de-
yelopment of the leaves there is new &C.
tiyity in the root fibre's growth, and many
OF the old ones die. The novel point in
modern knowledge is that these fbrous or
feeding roots are always near the surface
Of the soil.
With this knowledge comes the necessi.
ty Of modifying old practices of manuring
When il is dug down deep into the soil, or
plowed deeply under, it is in great measure
wasted. The true policy now is to keep it
as near the surface as possible, 80 as not to
be too much exposed to wasting winds.
The practice Of the best agricultursts
has been gradually coming TO this for years
past, without knowing exactly the reason
why such good resulted. Surface manur.
ing has been found, in many instances, su.
perior to the old plan of digging in, and has
found many intelligent, earnest advocates.
We do not know that we can heartily en-.
dorse the plan as general rule of leaving
the manure to be entirely on the surface,
to the action Of the hot, bleaching sun but
to have it merely narrowed in so that it
may be just where the numerous small sur
face roots can get readily at ii, is certainly
a good thing, and hao been found as good
in practice as the considerations we have
noted would lead us to expect.--M E..

Cabbage Worm.

A Kentucky correspondent of the New
York Times replies to man who wants to
know how to free his cabbage from the
cabbage worm Thirty years experience
enables me to tell him that. Get what is
called here shipstufl, or shorts, such as we
feed to stock--wheat bran will do as well
as shorts; examine the cabbage before they
head; II you see the web of the caterpil-
lar or holes in the leaves Of the bud. put a
tablespoonful Of the shorts in the head. If
hard rains follow, you may have to repeat.
The cure is effectual. The worms become
mired in the shorts made wet by the dew.
The worms seldom attack the cabbages af.
ter they are headed"

Protection Against Cut Worms.

The Mobile Register says A thousand
and one remedies for cut worms are pub
lished in the agricultural papers from time
to time, few Of which are at all worthy of
consideration. We know of but two that
we could recommend. A thin layer of pine
sawdust spread around the base of the plant
will generally protect it, and in setting out
plants, as cabbage and the like, nothing
equals a leaf wrapped around the stalk.
That will never fail. Roll any kind of
leaf convenient around the stalk and set it
in the ground with the plant. 1t will dry
and become hard in a day, and then no cut
worm will trouble it F.; and when the plant
has grown sufficiently large to burst of the
leaf it will be out of danger

A BRIDEG ROOM IN THE WRONG BED. -
The Atlanta Sun says AT late hour
Tuesday night quite bridal party arrived
i'll the city and put up at one OF our hotels.
The bride was accompanied by two or
three young lady friends, and the groom by
two gentlemen. The names were register
cd in the usual way, but a mistake was made
in registering the identity of the bride. The
hours sped on toward dawn, and the bride
in her silent chamber waited the appear
anee Of her lord. Yet he came not. Sure
ly, he was not sitting up all this time. The
rest of the party had retired, she was GER
tain, since she had heard them in their
apartments. What had become of him =?
Impatience gradually grew into terror. She
rang her bell and the servant knocked at
the door. .... ...
"Do you know where my husband is ?"
she inquired.
"Ain't he in here, nam ?"
"No."
"Mabe lac stepped out u the city, nam,
and will be back directly"
"I'm afraid ; oh, do inquire at the Office
and see if there is any intelligence about
him."
The servaut retired, and in n few mo-
ments returned with the information that
there was none. The wife was now alarm
ed in earnest. She never had a husband
before, and like the man who drew the ele-
phant in the lottery, scarcely knew what TO
do with the animal. In her anxiety she
went to the room of her bridesmaid and
Knocked at the door.
"Who's there 2" came in accent unmis
takabiy mascRlne.
''Me, Sarah but mercy, who are YOU 7"
Theme was sudden stir, aud the sound
Gf feet falling on the door. .
"Who the devil am in bed with, then ?"
she heard the man say, as the door swung
open and her husbands face peeped out.
"Oh Pm distracted about you where
have you been 2"
