Sheep Troughs and Racks.

WE have insisted upon the Importance
of furnishing good troughs and racks for
feeding sheep, whether under shelter or
in the open air Where lumber is plenty
and cheap there will be no difficulty in
so doing. In wooded country troughs
may be quickly made by any one who is
handy with an ak by splitting any soft
wood log of suitable size, following it
smoothly cut, boring four holes for legs
and placing it where wanted.
Watering troughs are easily made thus,
except that larger logs are used and only
about one-tbird the diameter of the log
is first hewed away before hewing out
the trough. Legs should not be put in
the water troughs unless they are small,
since they will be apt to split and leak,
but proper bearings and clamps should
be placed under them to raise them TO
the required height.
To make rack, select good white oak
poles six inches in diameter Peel the
bark and bore one and one-half inch
holes slanting inward. Rive out suita-
bic pieces, two feet long, smooth them
and fit the ends so that they may be
driven tight; put legs to it so that it
may be Of a proper height and YOU will
have rack that for all practical pur-
poses will be as good as the best.-West-

Hints to Painters.

You are generally working in ill-ven-
tilated shops and handling poisonous
pigments the year round, one of the most
dangerous of which is white lead; there
fore, it is imperatively necessary that
you be clearly in your habits and person
If you eat with unwashed hands and
wear clothing saturated with paint, you
must expect to absorb large quantities OF
poison, and suffer in consequence, and
perhaps bring on paralysis or kidney dis
ease, which will render you, if not entirely
unable to work, so weak and Frustrated
in mental and physical power as to be
but a shadow of your former self, and
suffer always from general weakness.
All carriage painters should wash their
hands before commencing or resuming
work, and should do it as often as posi-
BILE during the day. They should have a
strong decoction Of oak bark also to
wash in, the tannin Of which would not
only harden the skin, but would protect
it against the action of lead and other
poisons. This Is where the British
coach painters are ahead of US; you will
always find plenty of oak bark in Their
shops. You should also keep your hail
cut short, and wear light cloth or paper
cap while at work. Be sure that your
hands are well washed before partakine

Removing 0dors From Milk.

If milk has the odor of garlic or other
vegetable, drop a piece of charcoal-a
two or three inch cube-into the pan or
pitcher Charcoal is an excellent alb
sorbent and filter, and has been used for
the above purpose with success.
Bear in mind, in all treatment and
handling of milk, that sweet milk is an
exceedingly ephemeral article, bearing
within itself to greater degree than
any other article of ordinary commerce
the seeds of lis own speedy and unavoid-
able dissolution, and this natural ten
dency to quick decay, inimical to the in
terests Of the buttermaker, must not be
facilitated by permitting it to absorb still
other agents to hasten the process; but
where milk has become tainted from any
cause, the process Of aeration may be
improved by putting cloth over the per-
forated pail and pouring the milk through
that into it; purify milk in the pure,
fresh air, away from all taints Of stable
or house.
To illustrate this tendency to decay in
milk, we give the results Of experiments
with three lots Of milk:
The first was aerated as above and
cooled down to 81 deg, which is the tenn
perature of very cold spring water, and
was perfectly sweet 100 hours; the sec
ond was shut up in can at 9S deg, the
temperature of fresh milk, and exposed
to the heat of the sun; it was spoiled in
seven hours The third was exposed to
bad odors and was purified in forty min
utes and rotten in seventy.
As each vegetable and plant has a pc
culiar volatile oil Of its own which gives
to il its aroma or scent-all buttermakers
are familiar with the distinctive aroma
of butter made largely from turnips,
cabbages, onions, garlic, and even green
clover has peculiar oil, which makes
the dry plant better article for butter
it becomes necessary to act upon the
inference to make the best butter. But
ter contains 2 per cent. of these volatile
oils, which are caprylin, caproin and
butyrin, which form caprylic, caproic
and butyric acids, the basis of decay in
butter
The mingling Of these oils would give the
aroma to the butter; predominant, pun
gent odor where an article like garlic or
turnips entered largely into thefood of the
animals would indicate at once the cause;
others would be detected with more diff
ficulty, but where Kentucky bluegrass
and dried clover, and timothy and orchard
grass are furnished to cows, with our or
binary soiling crops, wheat, rye, oats and
corn, free from weeds, and such grain
particularly oats, bran and corn-as ex-
perience shall demonstrate to be profita-
BILE, we may feel that we have taken nee
essary and important steps toward max
ing the best of butter.-C0r. Maryland

BABYS GOOD NIGHTn

No HoUna -mherein to sit and dream
Thevesy pulse Of life away;
No idle thoughts and lone regrets
Not cen q shadow on the day,
But busy hours, all fraught with hope,
With tasks. and joys, and calm delight;
And one sweet blessing crowns them all
A little baey's kiss" Good night"
Who has not felt the touch OF lips
Unsallied BY the common speech.
OF dimpied hands that softly cling.
And stretch for all beyond their reach
CaHno; have felt the purest thrill
OF JOY drawn nearer TO his sight
There's something of an angels breath
About baby child's Good night
A baby child! Think DER all
UNFOLDING me through toll ana care
And wonder on q womans life
That has it not, this blessed share
TIE sounds of peace-of spirit-wings-
Are in that baby-robe so white,
Pressed closer to my resting heart.
Whose prayer is blent with lisped 'Goot

Good night. One day perhaps the tongue
That now essays to shape the words
Nav wake the world TO mighty thoughts,
And stir life's deepest hidden chords.
Perhaps-and here l cease to dream
When soul stands pausing in its flight.
Twill hear, through calling angel hosts.
The echo of child's GOOD night.''

Best Organs on Most Favorable Terms

Hamlin Organ Company for the sale OF
their celebrated instruments create dis.
satisfaction with many dealers, who de
clare that they will greatly injure the
business of selling other organs, espe-

any time after six months, or of pur
chasing it at any time. Ii the purchase
is completed within year the whole
cost of the organ is only ) to 10 per cent
