4 Lesson About Disinfectants.

There is a disease, says Gotley's
Lddy's Book, which is becoming the
Scourge of our towns, and which seems
10 grow the more virulent in proper
ton 10 the extension of what are
known Us modern Improvements"
This Is typhoid,fever, a malady known
among medical men as. filth fever,
and resulting directly from foul air;

N the mansions of the rich as in the
Squalid abodeS of poverty. The Prince
| OF Wales nearly died of this illness.
taken While on Il visit 10 the family
residence of one Of tie wealthiest
mobiles of England. The foul gas from
sewers, sinks and other so-called con-
Eeuiences of modern dwellings, is the
main source of the evil. The best
remedy would consist, of course, in
removing these causes of disease as
'T as possible from the inhabited
rooms, and in stopping up, by some
means, every avenue by which the bad
AR can find admission. This. how
| eFer IS mainly the business of archi-
.tctS and of the public authorities.
While sewers and houses are con-
Siructed as they are at present, house
holders find themselves in a measure
poWerlesS in these matters. But there
another resource which is within
>At reach of all, and which should be
adopted wherever the causes of
Hanger exist. This consists in the
'Nr OF dlsinfectants. Science fur

This intelligent monitress strongly
recommends that ladies should not
leave the duty of using these disin-
fectants entirely to servants, but
should attend to it themselves; taking
care, of course that the servant ac-
companies them to learn the mode of
use, in order to be prepared to take
the place Of the mistress in case of
necessity. The untaught, as she just
ly remarks, are too apt to be eXtrava-
CANT, and to think that because. a little
is good a great deal is better, and thus
themisuses of good thing creates q
prejudice against it. With the aid Of
these and other disinfectants, among
which carbolate of lime is especially
recommended for some purposes, she
is firmly convinced that sit is posi-
BILE for women, by very simple and
cheap means, to drive typhoid out OF
existence" If so great a benefit can
be accomplished 10y such simple pre-
cautions, all must feel that there is a
serious neglect of duty in failing to
use them. i o.

Improving Pastures.

In the dairying districts more i'm
proved land is devoted to pasturage
than to all other purposes, and more
income is derived from it annually.
Yet there is comparatively bat little
done to improve that branch of hus-
bandry. 1t is noticeable in passing
through the country that pastures, as
a general rule, are growing less pro-
ductive, and the quality of feed poor
er, by reason of foul weeds that are
increasing in the soil. Thistes, milk
weed, daisies and many other UNI
wholesome weeds, occupy the soil in
stead Of nutritious grasses. To eradi-
cate them and get clean sward of
grass that will pay for fertiliZing,
keep them from seeding for season,
so their seed will be plowed under,
then cultivate and kill the root ana re-
seed with variety of grasses adapted
to the soil. Now the first crop of
grass, to give the roots good spread
in the soil before tramping it by cat
tie. and keep cattle of in spring till
the grass gets sufficient growth to
strengthen and protect its root. 1t
will then yield more feed during the
season following than if kept closely
grazed in early spring. If cattle are
t-rned into large pastures before there
is feed enough 10 get their fill, they
rove about and cripple the young grass
hy their travel, and acquire thereby a
restless habit of rowing which lessons
their thrift. Where the sward is not
much engrossed with foul weeds, many
kinds NAV be destroyed as follows:
Dlisies, Johnswort and others that re
not top-rooted, are killed ~ once by
pulling off their top and DROPPING a
handful of salt on the rout bed. The

influence Of Attractive Butter Pack.
t&tft ages. r4 tIt


Many dairymen do not seem to un-
derstand that dairy products, put up
in neat and attractive packages, will
command better prices and will make
reader sale than when goods of the
same quality 60 upon the market in
shabby, soiled packages. A clean,
nicely-made tub, firkin or box is, from
its very appearance, sort of guaran-
tee that the contents have been care
fully attended to, and that neatness,
cleanliness and goodness have not been
confined to the package alone, but that
it is affair representation of the prod
uct within. And this is generally
true in fact; for the man who sends
to market poor and slovenly made
article is not apt to pay much atten-
ton to the package. The consumers
of high-priced butter are fastidious,
and a loosely made, dirty package will
often carry such aprejudice against the
goods within as to prevent an exami-
nation. We saw this eXemplified re-
Gently in the market at Little Falls.
a gentleman who is very particular
as to the quality of the butter used in
his family, and who is always willing
to pay an extra price for good arti-
Gle, went upon the market and asked
a dealer to select for him something
fine. The dealer took him to the
wagon of butter dairyman who had
something of reputation for nice
goods but, on the particular day in
question, his butter was packed in
cheap packages, badly soiled. On OBJ
serving this the gentleman refused to
make an examination of the goods,
saying TO the dealer that no matter how
fine the flavor of the butter might be,
the impression, produced from the
package would always make it taste
nasty to him, and therefore he would
not purchase it. This is by no means
an unusual occurrence, and it shows
the Importance of putting up dairy
products III an attractive style.
There is scarcely an article of food
on the market that requires such scru
pulous neatness in appearance as but
ter, in order to command ready sales
at good prices. If wooden packages
are used, those made from oak are the
best, and they should be nicely finished
and strongly hoped 50 as not to adj
nit of leakage A leaky butter pack
age is nuisance, and is entirely I'M
fitted for keeping butter sound for
any considerable length of time. Me-
tallic packages are coming into use,
and they are an improvement on the
old coarse, wooden tub. Now that
prices are ruling low, the greatest at
tention should be given to putting up
butter in AN attractive form. Let
the quality be good, and see to it that
the package is neat, clean and sweet,
and in this way an advance in rates
may be expected. Rural Ne1C Yorker.

Cooling off suddenly when heated
sends many of our farmers youths to
AN early tomb. 1t is often matter of
surprise that 50 many farmers boys
and girls die of consumption. 1t is
thought that abundant exercise in the
open air is directly opposed to that
disease. So it is; but judgment and
knowledge of the laws of health
are essential to the preservation of
health under any circumstances.
When overheated cool off slowly-nev-
er in a strong draft of air. Gentle

A great many remedies have been
suggested, from time to time, for
breaking heifers from kicking While
being MIXED. And now the statement
comes that the best plan is to tie the
animals head up high. A writer in
the Ne1C England Farmer says he has
tried all kinds of plans TO cure his
heiter of this bad habit, but finds none
so effectual as tying the head up high,
as the animal must lower her head in
order to kick. This is a very simple
remedy, and as it is less barbarouS than
many plans that have been suggested
and are practiced, we hope it may
prove all that is claimed for it. We
cannot help renewing our advice, in
this connection, in regard to uniform
practice of kind treatment to mich
stock, and especially toward heifers
when breaking them to the pail. In
nine cases out of ten cows get the
habit OF kicking from harsh and inju-
diciouS management, and as it is al
ways better to avoid an evil habit than
to contract it, and then run the risk of
curing it, SO we say care should be
taken that COWS do not learn this habit
of kicking from those who have them
in charge. Rural Ne1c Yorker.

There is not much to add to what was
said last week about the progress OF de-
velopment going on in the Two Ct. The
drifts on the different levels are being
drove forward as fast as may be, with "a
view of exposing and getting into shape
for profitable working as much of the
ore bodies as possible, for easy extrac.
ton when the furnaces start up. The
appearance of the mine, so for as we
can learn, is all that could be desired
large bodies of ore in all the levels and
in the face of all the drifts. The 1000
ton contract of Frank Knowles is COM
pleted and the ore undergoing the usual
roasting process preparatory to being
worked in the furnace. or course mat
tiers look quiet about the mine as it does
about town, but we believe everything
Is being done possible to facilitate the
early starting up of the furnaces and the
putting on of full force of men. We
should remember that Charge bodies
move slowly" but when it once gets
under way it moves with momentum
and power that is irresistible, and car
ries along with it everything and every.
body. This is what we all are looking
for; then let us council! patience and

The one ten minutes before o'clock
was quite u lively shock. 1t caused
doors, crockery and other things of like

Many persons who were awakened by
the shock thought the doors of their
