Within the past few day s nearly every
farmer has experienced degree of cold
that was anything but inviting, espe-
clally when one finds his thermometer
indicating % degrees below zero about
breakfast time, on the south side of his
house d; nevertheless such has been NV
experience, and it is not improbable
that we may have this unwelcome visitor
again; and it is for them who may have
fruit and vegetables in their cellars
imperfectcly protected, that J. would
call attention to the plan | adopted to
save mine, and which was a perfect
success. From what I can learn nearly
every one III this locality have had more
or less of their vegetables frozen. I'm

''Taking time by the forelocl, " |
procured a half gallon OF good alcohol,
when | found the mercury rather IN
clined to loaf about the neighborhood
of 10 degrees below zero going into
my cellar, [ found the mercury stood
at 33 degrees, about as close as was
practicable for my interest. [ imme-
diately procured some iron pans and
poured about gill of alcohol into them.
placing them some distance apart upon
the ground, and then setting fire to it.
Before 1T was consumed, which did
not take long, the mercury rose some
ID degrees IN less than five minutes,
and it is to this simple plan that l at
tribute the safety of my root crops, of
which [ am well supplied. 1t takes a
considerable length OF time to chill the
air, more particularly when your house
is banked up with straw and manure
My cellar Is thirty-three by twenty-five,
and eight feet high, and one quart of
spirits was sufficient to place tie veg
etabies out of danger. 1t produces no
smell or smole, and is always accessl-

tntbo}IC Acid for Games.

w B. Tegetmeier states that he has
found no difficulty in curing gapes bv
the use of carbol1c acid He SAYS:
so potent are the fumes Of this
powerful remedy, and so destructive
are they to parasitic life that their in
ilalation for even few moments seems
perfectly effectual in destroying the
LIE OF the worm. 1t is not even neces-
sary to employ any special apparatus:
a few drops of carbolic acid NAV be
placed III a spoon and held over the
tame OF a candle until the varor Is
seen to rise, when the head of the
young chicken or pheasant (heid In
the other hand) may be placed IN the
Yapor, which the animal is forced to
lnhale. Care must be taken not to
carry on the process until the fowl as
well as the worms are killed. I find
alter exposure to the fumes for a few
seconds the bird may be regarded as
cured, and may be seen running abont
quite well on the following day: if not,
the treatment should be repeated.

Wen OF Tumor on the jaw.

VIM. Horne, V. s.. in the Western
Farmer, III answer to an inquiry how
to treat the tumor, says:
Tumor upon the angle of the law
Is, IN cattle, | am sorry to say, now
becoming quite common. Its reduction
may be accomplished as follows: Open
1t to the very boston, to give exit to the
matter or pus, or any other foreign
substance which may be contained
therein; leave good opening at the
bottom or lower portion of the tumor
inject with glass syringe, dilute nitric
acld. half rain water and one-h half pure
acid do not inject more than twice,
or three times at furthest, leaving two
days between then inject solution car
bohc and tincture myrrh and aloes :;
alternate the one for the other. A sec
ond and safe way Is to run deep seton
through the bottom of the tumor-
there is not so much bleeding or trou-
bic dress with common turpentine
and carbolie acid for say three dress
lDgs each--or four. Keep from rub
bing parts, and if In stanchions take
him ont and simply tie him."

How to Manage a Bull.

The National Live Stock journal
says: 10 no animals is exercise more
important than to the breeding bull /:
ana IL Is, we believe, the Judgment of a
large majority of breeders that the fire.
quent Instances of inef1iciency in high
pfed ANIMALS are caused by high con
altlon and 1dleness. We know that
many instances may be cited of bulls
Kept IN doors Summer and Winter. and
In the highest condition, they have
been sure breeders but these are ex.
cepuons to the general rule, and should
not DE relied upon as examples. We
endeavor to have orr bulls in pasture
day and night in May and June, and
IN The Fall months In hot wei ther
they are kept in through the day.
When IN pasture we usually allow
few cows in calf to run with them.
With this management the bull will
be vigorous, efficient and healthy, and
much more liable to be quiet than
when constantly confined to a stable.
Some breeders fence in a.feld of five
or SIX acres for a bull lot in which
they have shed and water, and where
they keep breeding bull Summer and
Winter. This is very excellent plan,
and with strong post and rail fence.
II the bull is never allowed to be taken
out, he will sometimes behave himself
quietly for five or SIX years. In the
Winter bulls are generally kept in sta.
bles, but should always be taken out
daily for exercise if only few rods to
water, 1t VIII be great help

W ASKING WAGON.

AS rule farmers do not wash their
wagons very often. When they are
used daily in the mud this is not es
sentlal, but when the mud is allowed to
dry thereon and then gradually lrop
off, the case is somewhat different
How and when to wash carriages and
wagons the Carriage Journal thus tells
: Washing wagons Is too often looked
upon as an operation solely for the
purpose of removing a coat of mud
This IS one of the objects, an innocent
one; but the wagon should be washed
even when there is no mud on it. Dur.
ing the summer the varnish loses It's
lustre and assumes a dull, dirty ap-
pearance unless IL is frequently wash
ed. When wagon is covered with
dirt 1t Is best to soak the dirt loose
by wetting 1t with sponge, and not
rubbing it. In cities, where water can
be forced through pipe, the
sponge need not be used until the
bulk of the dirt has run off; then use
the sponge, commencin. at the upper
portion of the body, and do not wash
over too much surface at time. as the
water should never be allowed to dry
on the body; after washing with q
sponge, take clean water and a chanois
skin and wash and dry immediately
with the ehamo's After the body is
washed, wash the carriage part and
then the wheels; in washing the wheels
be careful to clean the dirt out from
between the spokes and wipe perfectly
dry. Immediately after using car
rage III hot weather the leather and
trimmings should be busted off and
the paint well washed and wiped as
directed, using soft water if possible,
but never using salt water, as has been
recommended by some who are afraid
that the supply of water will give out
In many of our cities if it is used for
other than drinking purposes. Care
full washing will tend to harden the
varnish, remove the PARTICLES Of dust
that would otherwise he'd themselves
in the paint, aud keep the carriage
fresh and clean. The leather top
should also be wiped off, and if an
oiled cloth be rubbed over Immediate
ly after the leather has been dried with
the chamoise it will do much towards
preserving the lustre of the leather,
and preventing its getting hard and
shrinking. After washing, always rub
the plated work with wooden cloth
that has little rotten stone on it.
Many dollarin expense, and much an
noyance from having a soiIed carriage,
may be saved by thus caring for it.

In these times of poor leather we
should clean and oil the harness at
least once wear, to keep it in good
condition aud to reduce the wear and
tear as much as possible. Don't let
the JOE cut to the harness maker, but
some OF these stormy days when the
harness Is not in use Just take it into
TIE workshop and commence opera
tlous. Take the harness all apart, and
scrape oil all scurf, hairs and dirt. and
wash the leather clean with soap and
not water. Then heat two or three
quarts OF neatsfoot oil in a long, shall
low pan, and draw each piece Of leath-
er through 1t slowly, bending the leath-
er backward and forward and rubbing
the OH IN with a cloth or sponge. Hang
near the tire to dry, and repeat the pro-
cess until the leather is saturated with
on NIX a little lampblack with clean
sailsW, and With a cloth rub it into the
Scather while warm, until the pores are
hIled and the surface becomes smooth
and glossy. If harness Is oiled IN
this way 1t IS never gummy, and will
therefore keep clean long time. Some
times linseed oil or adulte1ated oils
are used, but they dry on the leather
and make 1t gJImmy, dirt aud hairs
stick to Il, and the harness gets so
tlthy as to soil everything 1t touches.
After the harness has had good oil
ing. an occasional rubbing with talIow
and lampblack viii keep the leather

cracking

CREDIBLE CAKES. -Griddle cakes are

Having recently seen, in our ex
changes, several plans for excluding
this troublesome vermin from cribs, we
give a plan that our experience proves
to be effectual. Make your sills square,
say 10 inches; saw into and block out
from these SO that the joist will be
even, or face with the top; the floor
then rests on these sills, so that there
is no place for rat to stand, to cut
his way through the floor. And as a
further preventive have your post upon
which the house Is to rest, three feet
long sink them into the ground 6
inches; this will leave the crib 80 inch
ss above ground; at the top of post
tack around strip of tin, 6 or inches
wide, the tin being hard and SMOOTH

CyerGro,yn Hogs.

There is not one single dvantage to
be claimed III favor of big hogs. There
never was a monster hog which did not
make the man who raised him pay for
every pound he weighed. They do not
furnish an ounce of meat gratis, but
charge full price for every atom of
their carcass. When slaughtered, it
takes long time to get one cool to the
marrow IN the bone, and then when
the hams are put III salt it is trouble
some to finish them to the centre. -Four
hunored, live weight, is as large as
hogs should be in order to make good
racen, Beyond this size there is a loss
somewhere. Either the feeder, butcher
or consumer is cheated, and, as gen
eral thing, every one who has anything
to do with big hog VIII find, if he OBJ
serves closely, that they are not so
profitable as the smooth nice hog of
only 800 pounds weight. A small
head, with little upright ears, and legs
anu ears delicate to perfection, are
marks which indicate the greatest
amount OF food consumed, and it will

\ BITTER CoNTRovERsy.-The tenn

on the manufacturers of alcoholic bit
ters, ana their attacks are resented
with equal bitterness by the latter, who
seem determined to prosecute the guar

immense progress in the confidence OF
all classes and conditions of society
throughout the United States and
British America. We refer to DIR.

because 1t contains no alcohol-an ar

portion OF the community approve the
omission, and as the new remedy is
curing dyspepsia, bilousness, nervous
affections, and, in fact, majority of
the diseases, external and internal
which prevail, it is difficult to see how

tlnuaiiy increasing popularity of the

4 very important bill relating to the
administration of Indian affairs was
passed by the House, on Saturday,
without objection. The bill provides
shat all books, records, contracts,
vouchers, orders, receipts. and papers
OF every description that relate direct
~ or indirectly to the payment or an
ticipated payment of any money or
other thing of value on Government
account, III the office OF any Indian
agent or oub-agent, shall ne public
records, and open to the lnspec-
ton of any person during rea-
sonabie business hours, and makes
a refusal to show such records of papers
a misdemeanor punishable by impris-
onment. It also forbids the issue of
blank vouchers or orders, and provides
for the public distribution of all money
and goods to Indians, with duplicate
accounts to be sent to the Indian
Commissioner. The importance of a
law like TINS will be seen when it is
known that many OF the Indian agents
have not been in the habit of keeping
any accounts, and that greater per-
centage OF money appropriated for the
Indians is stolen than that set aside for
any other purpose.
