receives sunstroke not through tho top or poll Of
the head, - popularity supposed, but through
the orbits Of tho eyes and spine of the back.
Your horse will stand the hottest sun, % far -

vent his blood and bods from getting overheated,

many hoess could be saved BY this sample pro-

"During my residence in Ohio" says CORES
pondent Of the ACiesltsrisf, ~ knew the wife of
farmer, who, with his boys, worked his little
farm, and lived comfortably by dint, of the most
preserving and patient industry. This woman
had been born and educated in one Of the Allan
tic States; and she considered the daily bath of
90 much importance 70 health and comfort, that
in oil her difficulties it was rarely omitted. Her
log house was small and convenient consisting on
ly Of two rooms and . wood shed below, and three
small chambers above. The kitchen, rs in most
corner Of this, she had placed for tho winter,
hogshead, cut down, screened from sight, when
in use, by bed cover hung from the joists above.
In summer it was in the woodshed ard in this
primitive kind Of bath she dipped, first the chill
dren then herself, every morning, while the men
were feeding the stock, and the kettle on the
fire preparing for breakfast; and certainly a
more healthfnl, merry set Of children never re-
warded . mothers care"

wa have = ereat many kinda Of eonlsrs and
aerafprs for improving tho kespang qualities Of
milk. And slthsugh sumo III then arc coniplicst-
a and iusprsctiesble, still thrir nuIfs nuggest
Improvement OF atimuIsts snseatscn IN THE d.
rrction, and bsnes to rooss.s nay have beca not

the valve there y an opening with . short pipe,
which y provided with . stop cock, and upon the
end of this pipe b attached rubber hose. This
arrangement 10 for the admissiau Of air.
Nov the operation Of the machine b q fol-
lose: The pump u set into the can Of milk, and
being put in motion the milk rises, charged with
air, which is drawn through the rubber hose.
At the top Of the pump the tin tnbs sularxss

resches THE little receptacle at the top. 1t passes
through the boles and falls In sPfay eack again
into the can. It-tskes about Eve minutes to
pump mp 80 gallons Of milk, though Of course the
time may be lcssened by increasing the capacity
Of the pump. The milk in this way l. thorough
ly aeratsd. and BY drawing the air through The
rubber hose from an ice h0nse or through ice the
milk may be rapidly cooled.
The machine il decidedly novel in its construc-
ton, bat whefbct it 10 any Improvement GU
other devices, can only be determined by trial in
the dairy.
There seems to be . great deal Of apathy
among the farmers in regard 70 this question Of
cooling and aerstiDg milk xt the farm. They
very nearly all admit that it may be good
thing bat the matter, they cay, is too much both
or aud labor Thou. again, some dairymeu Who
are convenient 20 the factory, urge that they
have no difficulty in delivering their milk in good
order. and that they pay the factory operatives
for taking care Of their milk. II they lived .
long way from the factory, and were unable to
deliver milk perfectly sound, they would be vii
ling to edopt this or any other plan for improve
ment. On the other hand, those who arc distant
from the factory urge that every patron should
be served alike, and with the conflicting argu-
ments it 10 difacsit to get the milk cooler intro
duced in . great number of neighborhoods. The
matter should be made compulsory on Ill parties

How TO MAKE Roor BEER.-A good root beer
is desirable thing in the hot days of summer,
not only for slaking thirst, but also because OF
its utility - tonic. This ia the way to make
the real, ld-fashioned brew: Take spruce
boughs, black-birch bark, sarsaparilla, winter
green leaves, sassafras, yellow dock and dande-
lion roots; boil altogether in large kettle, with
q handful of hops and two quarts Of wheat bran,
and two quarts of molasses. When boiled enough
two hours or so-strain through sieve, cool,
and add pint Of yeast. If not very sweet to
the taste, add more molasses. Let it work over
night, and bottle. Secure the corks tightly, and
it will foam we'll. The same can be made in lar
ger quantities. and put into fifteen gallon cask,
and worked from the .bung- hole for q few days,
but it will not do 20 we'll As if bottled.

TINE 10 Cur CLOVER FOR HAY.-Opinions of
agr'csitnrists being At variance - 70 tho proper

were cut on the 9Th, 18th, and Path Of July, 1t

som, and fnll bloom. The grass and resulting
hay were weighed. and analysis made. Their
conclusions were, that clover has lees value q
prOvender when cut late, on account of the d.
minution Of the amount Of nutritious nutroeen-
ons matter, and the increase Of eellnlose or
woody substance; aud that IN sctnsl iDcrrase

HINTS on MAKING mAY.

A the time approaches in some localities where
the farmer must commence hsying, have . few
remarks to mako on the subjuct.
As far as my knowledge extends in hay max
ing, the common red clover 10 first on the list,
and here let me state that it has no rival, in my
opinion, il properly handled; and l will give my
ideas ~ to the proper manner Of securing it.
Cut 1t when in full bloom put it in cocks same
day It is enf, Of about rs lbs each let it remain
till the following afternoon, then haul in without
opening, and spread it about in your barn rs
much as yOu eau over the floor, on the NOW, &C.;
do not leave it over . foot thick any where II
you have more than yOu can dispose of in this
way, leave load on the wagon over night, and
let 1t sweat there. IL yOu have straw, mix
about ODe-third straw in alternate layers rs You
fill the NOW. The straw will absorb the moisture
from the hay and improve the quality of the
straw. When the several parcels become sufii-
GENTLY cured, pitch them on the NOW If you like.
1 repeat, that clover has no rival as hay, il
properly handled. But says one, II don't Boz
Iieve that" Very well, try it and then own mp
like man. Take any even number Of cows, for
instance, feed one half on the best timothy hay
You have and nothing else feed the other half
rected, and the timothy as you please. Weigh
your stock when you commerce, and at the end
Df say four months weigh them again. Weigh
The milk and butter during that time, and note
he quantity; keep fair record of the facts,
md II you are not . convert you are . hopeless
;ase. In like manner treat any kind of stock.
horses not excepted, and mark the result. You
will see that sm correct. 1t is true that some
horses would eat too mach if they were not fed
with Judgment, and perhaps injure themselves
70 they would If fed too many oats; but that 10
no proof positive that oats are not good for .
horse.
My remarks - to the curing of clover win
'pPly to all grasses. Too much sun 10 almost as
'ad as too much wet. Coarse timothy needs
cry little sun. Cut when in first bloom, put In |
ocks same day, haul in next day without OPEN |
ng; NIL your NOW as soon you can, aud let it |
weat. It will come out all right Cut your |
rass while it is grass; don't let i stand until il
ecomes brush.
The foregoing is gathered from many years
experience. not only raise and feed hay, but |
cal in IL, ship it, and know that early cut grass
ields more tons per aero, sells better and Injuries
he land less. Let the aftermath grow and re-
'aln on your meadows, keep your cattle cd, and
farmers phrase, there is little danger of these
aiming out.

Rev. Joel Winch, an eccentric Methodist preach
or, now dead, remarked that some of his hearers
were very late in coming to church; he also had
learned that q lady who lived at distance from
the church, had, in the course of the preceding
week, sold her COW and churn.
On Sabbath morning he perceived she was early
at church, wearing new dress aud new bon
net. After he had commenced the services some
person entered who lived quite near the church.
Therefore, to give them all pretty "close fits" he
stopped short, and addressing those entering, said
Are you not ashamed to be so late at church,
living ss near ne you do,-when here is a woman
who walked two miles, with COW on her back,
and chnrn on her head, and got here before ser.

How TO EXCLUDE FLIEs.-F1ies are beginning
to be troublesome. According to Spence. the
entomologisf, they may efectually be excluded
from room, in which the windows are left wide
open for free circulation of air, by suspending
net made of light colored thread to the OUTSIDE
Of the window, and although every mesh is large
enough, not only to admit one fy, but several
flies with expanded wings to pass through ut the
same moment, yet from some inexplicabIe dread
Of venturiDg acrnss the mesh work, these insects
are efsctually excluded. 1t is necessary to state
that in order for this plan to succeed it is essen
tial that the light enter the room from one side
only, for if there be an opposite or side window,
the flies pass through the net without scruple

SUMMER PRUNING SMALL RnUurs.

The Vermont Farmer, in an article urging the
necessity Ut attending to this important opera
ton, says:
"summer pruning does away with the neces-
sity OF stalking and tying raspberries aud black
Derries. 1t does more than this: il increases
the amount Of fruit, makes it Of better size and
navor, and gives the canes Q form aud degree of
hardness which enable them better to resist the
severity OF northern winters. Without summer
pruning, these small fruits cannot he gown with
any dekree Of certsinty of yield. A plantation
neglected in this particular would soon run ont
ne black cap raspberry should he checked
IN ITS upward growth when about two or two
and . half feet high. The work NAV either be
done by pinching or cutting. If the patch be
large, convenient method 10 to clip the tops. of
the young canes with common corn knife and
the work can be done abont as fast - . man can
walk along the rowe. The upward growth b.
ing Thus checked, the side branches start out
vigorously, and assume . dropping form. A now
upward growth will not usually begin again
but in care it should, the cutting or pinching
must be repeated. We should not check the
growth OF the side branches, unless thoy inter-
fere with cultivation the ist season, but shorten
them carly in the spring Of their first bearing
year.
The Antwerps and their class should also be
summer Pruned when the shoots are about the
name height. 1t is an object to promote the
growth Of side branches, as on these most of the
fruit will be borne. Tins shortened the caues
