Take an old AK and with it chop ont a
ball of earth containing the roots OF
the plants, and carry the whole home
and set out carefully. A little unfrozen
soil can usually be obtained TO put
around and over the clump of roots
when again set out. Even larger ever
greens from the woods and fields may
also be removed with comparative safety
in the same way. But do not forget

wild flowers seem to find a most con-
genial home, remembering that ga rare

MIscELLANEoUs.-If little lime is
dissolved in the water applied TO the
soil, nearly every species of worm that
is found will be killed, and the plants
not injured. Tobacco will also destroy
most kinds of worms; but lime is pre-
ferable, because it aids in dissolving
the plant. food in the soil, thereby slim
ulating growth. Watering the plants
with lime-water, once a week, will be
sufficient to kill the worms in the soil
and stimulate growth.
Dus'ing articles of steel after they
have been thoroughly cleaned with I'M
Stacked lime will preserve them from
rust. The coils of piano.wires thus
sprinkled will keep from rust many
years. Table knives which are not in
constant e ought to be put in a case
in which sifted quicklime is placed,
about eight inches deep. They should
be plunged to the top OF the blades,
but the lime should not touch the
handles.
To prepare slips for planting it is
recommended to dip the ends in COLO
dion containing twice as much cotton as
the ordinary material used in photo
graphy. Let the first coat dry, and
then dip again. After planting the slip,
the development will take place very
promptly. This method is said to be
particularly efficacious in woody slips,
and to succeed well in scions of the
geraniums, fuchsias and similar plants.
The white of an egg has proved, OF
late, the most eificacious remedy for
burns. Seven or eight successive appli-
cations of this substance soothe pain
and effectually exclude the burn from
the air. This simple remedy seems
preferable to collodion or even cotton.
Extraordinary stories are told of the
healing properties of new oil which is
easily made from the yolks of hens
eggs. The eggs are first boiled hard,
and the yolks are then removed, crushed
and placed over a fire, where they are
carefully stirred until the whole sub
stance is just on the point of catching
fire, when the yolk will yield nearly two
teaspoonfuls of oil. 1t is ia general
use among the colonists of South Russia
as a means of curing CUT, bruises and
scratches.

WHEN TO Cur GRASS FOR HAY.-Only
those farmers who have a pet theory on
the subject now hold that it is best to
postpone haymaking until the grass is
thoroughly ripe. This idea, no doubt,
arose from the notion the taller the
grass the more bulk and the more mn
triment it will afford for stock. To this
was added a belief that, after cutting,
the hay should be allowed to remain in
the field until thoroughly dry, the dan
ger being that, if any dampness re-
manned, heat or mould would surely
ruin the crop after it was housed. The
most advanced farmers now hold mod
flied views in regard to both these
points, and the practices OF our ances.
tors in this respect are fast going out of
fashion. 1t is fixed law of all veeeta-
BILE life that when plant has reached
maturity it begins to deteriorate by re-.
turning to the ground, or throwing off

of its nutritious properties. This may
he good for the land, but il is not cool
for the stock. The requisite return can
be made with better advantage to the
land after the animals have extracted
from The stalks all that is good for
them. The object of the hay-maker
should be to cut his crop just when it
is at its fullest vigor, when the stalks
are tender and juicy, and before they
have begun to stiffen for natural
death. ! taken at this time and prop

How TO TAKE THE "CowY" DOOR OUT
OF MnK.-One of the difficulties the
milkman and cheese factory have to
contend with is the "cowy" or animal
odor that appear in freshly drawn milk.
1t is worse even than the animal heat,
or rather more troublesome to get rid
of. 1t is much more perceptible OF
course in hot weather than it is in cold.
and varies in intensity with the health
and condition of the COW. To remedy
this an inventor has contrived the fol.
lowing: 1t is simply tin pail, the
bottom of which is perforated with one
or two rows of holes. The milk is
turned through a strainer fastened over
the top, and it comes out through the
holes. 1t starts in streams, but before
it gets down more than foot or fifteen
inches it is separated into drops and all
aired. Well, we all know what a de-
odorizer pure air is. Almost any
farmer can get up a simple arrange.
meut which will serve the purpose very
we'll, or if he can't do it himself he can
go to the tinman and get him to punch
holes in the bottom of pail and hang
it up over can or other vessel, so that
in dropping down through the air it
will be thoroughly aerated. But it
must be in pure air. The air of a
filthy cow-house will not do it.

BoTs.-Bots are the Larvae of ME
horse gad.fy (EStruS equ,ts), and are in
a condition exactly equivalent to that
of the caterpillar of moth or butter
fly. They therefore can not breed or
reproduce themselves in the stomach of
horse, being imperfect insects and in
capable of breeding. 1t is easier TO
prevent their presence in the horses
stomach than TO get rid of them. If the
yellow nits or eggs which may be seen
upon horses knees or shoulders in July
or August are Washed off with warm wa
ter, or scraped off with the edge of a
knife, the horse can not lick them off
and carry them to their temporary rest
ing place. Every farmer should learn
the natural history of the insects and
animals with which he comes in contact;
then he would know how to treat them
with propriety.

RYE AS GREEN AND DRY FODDER
An exchange gives in It's experience in
using rye as a green summer feed, and
prOnounces it as excellent feed if cut
when coming into ear. This has been
used both for horses and COWS. The
journal adds: "To feed rye that has
been cut ripe, we would tEresh it, grind
the grain along with corn or oats, cut
the straw in fodder cutter, moisten it
with water, sprinkle handful of salt
and three-quarters of the ground feed
upon large pailful of the moist cut

How "a Avoid Taking cold.

A cold IS simply q developer Of a dis
eased condition which may have been
latent or requiring only some favoring
condition to burst out into the flame Of
disease. That this is usually the cor
rect view of a cold as q disease produ-
cling agent under all ordinary ciroum-
stances may be made plain by reflection
upon personal experience, oven 20 the
most ordinary understanding. When
the human body is at its prime-with
youth, vigor, purity and n good consti-
tiOn on its side-no degree Of ordinary
exposure to cold gives rise TO any un-
pleasant effects. All the ordinary pre-
cautions against colds, coughs and
rheumatic pains may be disregarded
and no Ill effects ensue. But let the
blood become impure, let the body be-
come deranged from any acquired dis
order. or let the vigOr begin to Wanes
and the inhrmities Of age, be felt
by occasional arrangements in some
vital part, either from inherited or actual
abuses, and the actionSl cold will ex-
cite more or less disorder of some kind,
and the form of this disorder, or the dis
ease that VIII ensue, will be determined
by the kind of pre-existing blood-impu-
rity, or the pre-existing fault Of the or
ganic processes. It follows from these
facts and considerations that the secret
of avoiding the unpleasant consequences
thought to spring wholly from the ac-
tion of cold upon the body has very lit
tie dependence upon exposure, but q
great deal upon an impure and weak
condition of all the vital processes. In
other words, with an average or superior
constitution and an intelligent obsery-
ance Of ali the laws Of health, men and
women could not take cold If they wan
ted to they might be exposed to the
action of cold 10 3 degree equal 70 the
beast Of the field, and with like impu-
nifty. But in case of persons with feeble
constitutions, and who disregard know
ipRly or otherwise the conditions Of
healthy existence, no degree of care
will prevent the taking of cold. as It is
termed. They may live in houses regu-
lated with all the precision OF q hot
house, they may cover themselves with
the most highly protective clothing the
market provides, and yet they viii take

is, TO avoid taking cold from ordinary
or even extraordinary exposure the vital
processes must be made strong enough
TO rise above'the untoward influence Of
external conditions.
