Swellcd Bag.

When COWS bag becomes swelled, simple
and generally effectual remedy is found in APP
plying fresh lard, which should be thoroughly
and repeatedly rubbed in. Some people use
beef brine instead of lord, with good results.
Plenty OF rubbing without any application
will often effect cure. The calf should be
allowed to suck until a cure is effected, and if
portion of the milk be drawn from the cow
before he is given his rations, so he will be
obliged to do good deal of stripping, he will
help to reduce the swelling.
Whoever employs the violent remedies
should understand that they may do more
than is desired. Iodine effects the secretions
powerfully, and causes the absorption of tu-
mors and abnormal growths; may it not also
cause decrease in the secretion of milk !?
We have found that persistent rubbing and
kneeding was better than anything else. If
the bag be very tender, as it often is, take a
teaspoonful of tncture of arnica in water, and
rub the same diluted with twice as much
water, upon the bag to take out the sore

Scotch Orange Marmalade.


Take large, ripe oranges and weigh them,
and to each pound of oranges allow one pound
of crushed sugar. Pare off the yellow rind of
half the oranges and put it over the fire in cold
water; cover tightly, and let it simmer slowly
until tender. Crate off the yellow rind of the
remaining oranges; quarter the fruit; squeeze
out all the juice and pulp, and remove the
seeds and skins. To each pound of sugar. add
half pint OF cold water, and the white of one
egg to every two pounds of sugar. Let the
sugar stand until nearly dissolved; then boil
slowly over the fire, and skim off what rises.
Pound the boiled parlngs in a mortar, or chop
them very fine, and turn into the syrup after it
become quite thick; then boil ten minutes,
stirring very often. Put IN the juice, pulp and
grated rind, and boil for half an hour, or until
it is transparent. Lemons can be mixed with
the oranges, one to every fifteen, and little
more sugar added, with good effect. This re-
cept makes the famous Scotch marmalade,
used so much for breakfast relish. 1t is sold
in all the large groceries in cities, but can be
made at home at much more reasonable rates.
Try little of it with good bread and butter,
for dessert dish, and you will not sigh for pie.

Amount of Hay for Quart of Milk

~ 1A&t AOE an tSuuhs W --..A
prof Rhode gives as the result of his ex-
perlments in feeding cows to ascertain the
proportions of food consumed to the milk
produced as follows: The Hollander eats
five pounds of hay tor every quart of milk;
The Britenburger, six and one-fourth pounds;
The Tondern, seven pounds, and the Ayrs-
hire nine pounds of hay for every quart of
milk"
We clip this from the Lewiston Journal:
Can it be correct 1t may be; we don't know,
hut we have grave doubts of its correctness.
We would not be surprised if the experiments
were made like many others, with one or
two cows, and continued only for short
lime. Experiments of this sort to be Of any
value should include large number of ami
mails, and be continued for a year at least.
We believe that the proportion of food to the
amount OF milk is altogether too high, al
though in the case of the Hollander 1--WE sup
pose it to be the same as Dutch), which are
great mixers, the average might not be far
out OF Iroportion, for if we assume that they
average eight quarts of milk pei day, the
amount OF food would be fourty pounds, or
seven and one-fourth tons per annum, and
we think good, hearty cow if fed only hay
might eat that amount. Yet we read of an
old Massachusetts farmer OF seventy years
experience, who says that good COWS will eat
twenty pounds of hay per day when dry-not
by guess work, but tested by actual Weighing
Tor months at time. 1 we suppose these
Massachusetts cows to average but four
quarts per day, the facts would agree with
Prot, Rhodes conclusions, but is there any
herd OF cows whose internal machinery is so
nicely adjusted that they elaborate four
quarts of milk from only five pounds of dry
hay? But the Professor says ''the Ayrshire
will consume nine pounds of hay for every
quart OF milk produced" We have Just
been reading up what books we have access
to, on the Ayrshires, and we find the average
result of three experiments made to test the
quantity OF mi they give in the year is $50
gallons or two gallons per day, and therefore
if the Pr .fessor is correct they must eat Y
pounds of hay per day, or IL tons per year.
Is not this working the poor Ayrshires pref
ty hard?
Mr.. G. L. Flint says "that all dairy farm
ers with experience on the point agree that
the Ayrshire cow generally gives lager
quantity of milk for the food consumed than
cow of any other breed" We have assum-
ed that the two breeds of COWS will average
the same amount of milk per day, although
the average of Gen. Tilton's herd of Hol-
stems has been nearly nine quarts per day for
the past three years, and adding one-ninth
to the figures already given, will increase the
amount of food allotted to the Holander to
larger amount than we believe any COW will
consume. Will not persons having facts re-
specting these matters publish them for the
bt nefit of mankind generally Cor. Massa-
chusetts Ploughman.

Eds. TeI.-The drought is broken, and
though the refreshing rain came rather
late for some things, on the whole, we have
great reason to be thankful.
Farmers are plowing their ground for
wheat, and the indications are that large
breadth of land will be sown this fall.
Threshers report the yield of wheat as
being beyond the average, ranging from 10
to 40 bushels per acre.
But little news here at the present date;
some courtships are in progress that may
end in matrimony. The two State con-
ventions have saved the nation few days
longer. and then the county convention
will stretch out the line little longer.
Delegates from six of the seven Sunday
schools in town met at the COng'l church
on Tuesday night and agreed upon the
time and place to hold their annual picnic.
Time, Wednesday. Aug. 22d; place, Stur-
geon Point, Geneva; general marshal, W.
H. Brown. 1t is not expected that the
mission school in Dist. No. will join the
company. as Mr.. Prosser, the superintend
ent, lives in Astabula; yet they would be
welcomed to the ranks.
The County Commissioners are doing a
good work in the line of stone bridges and
culverts over the streams of living water
that cross the north ridge road so frequent
ly. Last year, stone bridge was built
over the creek near DIR. Fouts', and at this
date, stone from the Grant quarry in
Windsor, are being hauled on the spot to
build bridge over the creek near Smith
Walkers, and two culverts. one near l..
Munsell's, and one near S. D. Heath's. We
want to see the time when the road is all
graveled between AshtabulG and Geneva;
the briars and elders all cut dOwn-and
kept down--and all the rubbish cleared
out Of the fence corners, and when this is
done, it won't make but little difference
with us who is Governor.
Mr.. 6. R. ScoYille offers to be one with
others, to grade and gravel sidewalk from
]. C. Wright's to the outskirts of the city.
and to do the blacksmith work on foot
bridge over the creek near DIR. Fouts' :
Who will respond first to this offer

honored representative We spoke OF
him as our ''would-be representative.
Our Presb. chu.-h festival was held at
the house of Henry A Stevens, ofShefield.
The pleasantness of the evening, the good
attendance, with the length of the ride,
and good feeling generally enjoyed, made
the occasion pleasant one, and those who
went, all the better for the effort.
Our telegraph line between the village
and the station, is approaching a compile
tion. The convenience it will be to the
public will no doubt be fully appreciated.
The new Baptist parsonage IL now in the
occupancy Of the pastor, Rev. Williams.
This, by some, is said to be the pleasantest
residence in town.
A. B. Luce has got his new hay scales
up and in working order, and in new and
more convenient location.
Our dry weather gives the millers time
to read the papers and tell good story.
The water runs low.
Pastor Hickok, Of the Presb. church,
will leave for the ''higher calling" that the
hay fever imposes every year. His sermons
of late have been unusually eloquent, ear
nest and logical. G.
