American girl at the fashionable spa is
an idle creature. She can't be. She has
to dress and undress to often.

RRrm Notes.

A novel but practical improvement in
exhibiting cheese ON sale day is in hav-
ing sample cases resembling physicians
medicine cases, each vial being uniform
in size, representing a sample of each
days make. The cheese trier, being a
trihe smaller than the inside of the vial,
gives you a cylindrical specimen retain
ing its flavor and character complete.
A visitor to Vanmeter's stock farm in
Kentucky saw three pure bred short horn
cows, worth on an average $4,000, work
ing in the yoke to prevent the accumula-
ton of fat and consequent barTenness.
One of the modest little farming
patches in Illinois is laid out in $4,000
acres of corn, $500 acres of fax, 1000
acres of oats, and enough grass to pro-
duce about 5000 tons of hay.
Mr.. William Horne says in the Co,'n-
try Gentleman that in thirty years prac-
tice as veterinary surgeon he never has
found single instance where any dis
ease in horse could be traced to bots as
a cause.
Solomon Eaton, of Irasburg, is said to
have the largest hop yard in Vermont.
He has 5000 hills, covering ten acres.
The large podded milkweed almost in
variably causes the death of every bee
alighting upon it. The bee either adj
heres to the plant or else bears away q
small scale sticking to its feet, and Grip
pies itself fatally in attempting to re-
move the annoyance.
AS warm weather advances, troubles
from sore shoulders on horses will in
crease, very largely the result of poorly
fitting collars. The proper way to pre-
vent this trouble is to remove the cause
ON the start. Where the breast has be.
come CALLED, wash frequently with some
stringent solution, such as alum water Oh
decoction of white oak bark. ArnicG
is excellent FOR gals, and should be APP
piled at night after the horse has finished
work, and well rubbed in.
A correspondent of the Lewiston
Journal speaks highly of the following
method for destroying lice on poultry
Put about one great spoonful of sulphur
in the nest of every hen and turkey as
soon as they are set. The heat of the
fowl causes the fumes of the sulphur tc
penetrate to every part of their bodies
and every louise is killed, and as all nit'
are Matched within ten days, the conse
quence is that when the mother her
comes off with her brood, she is free
from nits or lice. The mother hen is no
as poor, the chickens thrive better ant
not one-half as many die.

Fall-SOwing Grass.

Timothy seed may be sown in the fall
if the ground is made very rich and fine.
1t should be sown as early as possible,
the ground being made very compact
previously by frequent narrowing. After
the last stroke of the harrow the seed
may be sown, and falling in the ridges
will be covered sufficiently by the first
shower of rain, or once rolling or bush
narrowing. Glover may be sown in the
spring, upon the last snow, or after a
light frost, when the soil is opened by a
multitude of minute cracks into which
the seed will find its way

Providing Hay Caps.

-. Cotton cloth is cheap this year, and
farmers who have much grass or grain to
gather will find it economy to purchase
hay caps. Any good cotton cloth will
answer, but the closer the threads the
better; oil and varnish will make it
neutrality-suspicious. to water, though very
fair protection will be afforded by the
simple cloth covers to heaps of hay or
shocks of grain. In catching" sea-
son this saving of crops in one year will
more than repay the cost, besides the
feeling of rest and contentment they
give at time when there is always worry
enough. For curing clover hay they are
absolutely essential, as clover needs to
be mainly cured il cock after the first
lays sun, thus retaining its freshness
into the winter. The cocks of hay may
be made large, and, safely protected I'M
der hay caps, may be allowed to remain
four or five days in stormy weather with
out injury. Then with the approach of
fine weather open them to the sunshine,
and the hay, perfectly cured, will be
ready for the barn. A slight heating in
cock is the best preventive of heating in
the NOW or stack, for the reason that the
slight heating dries the Juices of the
plant more rapidly even than the sur

first and second, or cross blowing, in
order that every portion of the subsoil
shall be thoroughly broken up and pull
verified. Low, wet prairie, as well as
lands that are high and dry, if the soil is
OF the close, compact kind, are equally
benefited by subsoiling. Much of the
heaving out of wheat in winter and
suffering from droughts in summer can
beleadily prevented bydeepening esoil,
and any of our readers who may have
doubts upon this point can readily set
tie the question by subsoiling an acre or
two as an experiment.
