Fall Poughing.

PROFESSIONALLY it is very prof
liable to plough land in the fall
which is TO be planted next
spring; and in the fall the deeper
the better. But new, herd sub
soil should not be turned up to
the sun in spring or summer, to
be dried or baked by the hot sun
before it is pulverized by the free
zing and thaWing.
The best mode for deep plough
ing that we ever saw or practiced,
was to use Stout beam with a
large plough, in autumn, and cut
a iurrow eigh. or ten inches deep,
following this plough with a small
plough and one horse, walking in
ahe furrow and cutting four or five
inches deeper; this does not turn
up subclay TO the top, but trench
es it deeply, which is covered with
the surface soil by the next furrow.
There is generally less hurry and
more time in the fall to do this
thorough work; Resides, teams
work easier and nore comfortable
in the cooler days of autumn and
early winter than in the spring.

Milking Cows.


The milk Of cows, soon after
they have calved, contains more
butter, and is much more easily
ehurned than aiterward. About
FIVE months after calving, the
milk undrrgoes a change, and
the cream is not only less in guam
THY, but the butter globules. are
smaller. Theresson why il froths
in churns is, that when it sours
alcohol is formed by the decom.
position Of the milk, and this eau.
ses the milk, when shaken or
beaten, to foam or froth. If this
frolh exist to a large extent, but
ter will not come, and the milk is
useless for churning purposes
The longer a COW is MIXED after
calving, the less is the yield Of
butter, and the less nourishment
is there contained in the milk

Ace of Sheep.

The size and shape of the
teeth are ordinarily sure critic
rion of the age Of sheep up to six
years old The lamb teeth are
narrow and small AT one year
old the two middle front teeth fall
out and are replaced by teeth
much wider and larger. The
next year two more wide teeth
appear, and at the end Of six
years old the mouth is "full," the
lamb teeth have all disappeared.
After that the teeth grow darker,
longer and narrower until they
eventually TALL out A praciiced
shepherd can easily Judge the age
very nearly up to twelve years:
any one can up to six years.

How to Cure Chills.

As some of our people are
suffering with this disease, we
give the following from Hall $
journal Of Health for their ben
eft: To cure fever and ague
take twelve grains of quinine
at one dose about an hour be-
fore the chill is expected. just
one week from that hour take
another twelve grains of quin-
inc. The disease will seldom
return. This is the dose for an
adult. Children should take
smaller doses according to age.
The reason that decided doses
of quinine cure fever and ague
seems to be that the disease re-
ceiyes a shock which breaks it.
Small doses of quinine only hold
it in check during the time the
medicine is being taken; as
soon as it is suspended the dis
case usually returns. Hence
the popular notion that the
quinine only "feeds" the dis
ease. The fault is not with the
medicine, but in the manner of
administering it. While we do
not believe in encouraging the
employment of medicine, we are
bound to say that quinine, pre-
riodically administered, has
proved the only ''dead shot" for
fever and ague in our practice.

Whitewash.

The following recipe is one of
those ind. rsed by the Light House
Board Of the United States: Stake
half a bushel of unslaked lime
with boiling water, keeping it Gov
cred during the process. Strain
1t and add peck Of salt dissolved
in warm water three pounds of
ground rice. put in boiling water
&nd boiled to a thin paste; half a
pornd of powdered Spanish whit.
ing, and a pound Of clear glue,
dissolved in warm water; mix
these well together and let the
mixture stand for several days.
Keep the wash thus prepared in a
kettle Of portable furnace, and
when used put it on as hot as pos
sible, with painters or whitewash
brushes.

Two Horses Killed by
Bees.
Nev York Zine.

A few days ago a driver in
the employ of DR.. Webb, of
Boonton, New Jersey, took the
Doctors team to Franklinville
for a load of mari. While pass
ing q place where there are sev-
eral hives of bees, the drivcr
stopped for a moment, and inn
mediately the bees flew out in
large numbers and attacked the
animals. The horses kicked and
plunged, and were almost wild
with terror, but all efforts to
urge them on proved ineffectu-
al. The driver tried to unhitch
them, but The bees attacked him
vigorously and soon drove him
away. lie proceeded to Flem-
ington, where he procured a
quantity of mosquito netting,
which he wound around his
head, and put on pair OF leath-
er gloves. Protected thus, he
returned 10 the aid of the hors-
es, and, after scraping the bees
off their sides with his hands,
succeeded in getting them a.
way. The animals died a short
lime after reaching home. The
bees seem to have been infuria-
ted, for they afterward attacked
their owners house, but were
driven away by the fumes of
burning sulphur In the morn
ing, however, they renewed the
attack, and drove the family out
of the house.

Among tbe things wLich avery

Among the things which every
farmer should have is a well
stocked orchard Of fruit trees.
Whenever tree dies it should be
replaced by another, and by hav.
ing trees of different ages, be may be
almost certain OF fruit every year.
A liberal supply of apples and
peaches should be planted, togefh.
er with a few pear and cherry
trees. Some fruits for family use
should not be neglected, and good
care should be taken of all
Freits are among the most health
full of our foods. and no farm
should be without them.
