How to make Cows give Milk,

A writer in the Southern Far
mer says that his cow gives all
the milk that is wanted in a
family of eight, and that from it
after taking all that is required
for other purposes, 200 pounds
of butter were made this year.
This is in part his treatment of
the cows eff you desire to get
a large yield of rich milk give
your COWS every day water
slightly sailed in which bran
has been stirred at the rate of
one to two gallons of water.
You will find, if you have not
triedthis daily practice that your
COW will give twenty-fvepercent
more milk Immediately under
the effects of it, and she will be-
come so attached to the diet as
to refuse to drink clear water
unless very thirsty. But this
mess she will drink almost any
time, and ask for more. The
amount of this drink necessary
is a water pail full at a time,
morning, noon and night:

What Farmers Should Produce.

Farmers should look the fu-
ture square in the face, and ask
what promises the best returns.
Of course mixed farming is al
ways safest.and should never be
departed from. but then there
should always be some specially,
that is, some main crop upon
which the largest profits are ex-
pected. In one locality it is one
thing, and in another, another
thing, and it requires enterprise
and good judgment to deter
mine what is most profitable to
throw the largest amount of
energy into. Distance from
market makes the production
of some crops improbable, as
the transportation expenses eat
up too much of the receipts.
From present indications the
raising of cattle and sheep and
hogs. and horses and mules will
bring the surest and largest re-
turns for those residing some
distance from market. The ex-
portation of all these animals is
largely on the increase. They
can be raised and transported
to European markets, and sold
at a less price than it costs to
raise them there. This is ow-
ing to our cheap lands, and our
great pasturage advantages.
But whatever stock the farmer
raises should be the best. The
scrubs should be severely let
alone. The best breeds will
bring the bestprofts.-Colman's

Things Worth Knowing.

I. That fish may be scaled
much easier by dipping in boil
ing water about minute.
2. That fish may be as well
scaled, if desired, before pack
ing them down in salt: though,
in that case do not scald them.
3. Salt fish are quickest and
best freshened by soaking in
sour milk.
d. That milk which is turned
or changed may be sweetened
and rendered fit for use again
by stirring in a little soda.
5. That salt will curdle new
milk; hence, in preparing milk
porridge. gravies, etc. the salt
should not be added until the
dish is prepared,
6. That fresh meat, after be-
ginning to sour will sweeten if
placed out of doors in the cool
over night.
7. That clear boiling water
will remove tea-stains and many
fruit stains. Pour the water
through the stain, and thus pre-
vent its spreading over the ia
brio.
8. That ripe tomatoes will re-
move ink and other stains from
white cloth; also from the hands.
9. That a teaspoonful Of tur-
pentine boiled with your white
cloths will aid the whitening
process.
10. That boiled starch is
much improved by the addition
of a little sperm, or a little gum
Arabic dissolved.
II. That beeswax and salt
will make your rusty flat-irons
as clean and smooth as glass.
Tie a lump of wax in a rag, and
keep it for that purpose. When
the irons are hot, rub them first
with the wax-rag, then scour
with a paper or cloth sprinkled
with salt.
II. That blue ointment and
kerosene, mixed in equal pro-
portions, and applied to bed
steads, is an unfailiug bedbug
remedy; and that a coat of
whitewash is ditto for the walls
of a log house.
IS. That kerosene will soften
boots or shoes which have
been hardened by water, and
render them as pliable as new.
ID. That kerosene will make
tin teakettles as bright as new.
Saturate a wooden rag and rub
with it.. 1t will also remove
stains from clean vanished
furniture.
Is. That cool rain water and
soda will remove machine
grease from washable fabrics.

afterwards hung up in smoke

HONE AND FARM
PARKING THAT DON'T PAY.

1t don't pay to be caught in
the spring without a wood pile
large enough to last twelve
months; or TO open the gates
and let your stock into the fields
as soon as a few bare spots ap-
pear; or to keep it on short ra-
tons, so that when it does go to
grass it will take half the sum-
mer to get thrifty and strong.
1t don't pay to leave the work
of mending your tools and Sc
Letting and securing your seed
until the day you want to use
them, thereby causing costly
delay.
1t don't pay to SOW or plant
poor seed because you happen
to have It on hand.
1t don't pay to plant more
ground than you can manure
and take good care of.
1t don't pay to leave weak
places in the fences in the hope
that the cattle won't find them;
and, if you keep sheep it don't
pay to let them run at large in
the spring until they become
tramps and cannot be kept home
by any ordinary fence.
1t don't to neglect cows, ewes
or sows when they are dropping
their young.
1t don't pay to let the spring
rains wash the value out of the
manure that has accumulated in
the barn-yard this winter.
1t don't pay to let the hens
lay under the barn, steal their
nests and be eaten up by the
skunks.
1t don't pay to put off any
kind of spring work until the
last moment, nor does it pay to
work land when it is too wet.
1t don't'pay to leave turnips,
cabbages, beets, or even apples
in the cellar to rot and breed
disease; for if you have more
than you can eat or sell, The
stock will be profited by them.
1t don't pay to summer a
coss simply because no one
comes TO- buy her.
1t don't pay to sell a heifer
calf from your best COW to the
butcher, simply because It will
cost more to raise it than you
can buy a scrub for next fall.
1t don'tpay to leave the bank
ing around the house until it
rots the sills. ~
1t don't pay to be stingy in
sowing grass seed, or to try to
live without a garden.
Finally, it don't pay to pro-
woke the women by leaving
them to cut the stove wood or
to carry it in from the door
yard or to remind you every
morning that you must saw
enough before you go to work
to last through the day.
The above is from some ex-
change, and we will add to it,
that it don't pay to be without
q good reliable weekly paper
like the WEEKLY BANNER, be-
cause it costs 81 year, for it
will be worth more than ten |
times that amount to him be-
fore the long year rolls around.

Tks Practice ofFall Flowing.

Intelligent cultivators gener-
ally agree that fall blowing is OF
the utmost service to the soil
Many consider it equal to a
dressing Of manure, inasmuch
as it places the ground in con-
dition to assimilatc all the fertil-
lizing properties Of mineral and
atmospheric plant food. Solu-
bic matters which have leached
down too far for the feeders to
reach arc also brought to the
surface by the turning over the
land. Weeds. grass and the
stubblc of gathered crops arc
covered in the soil, where they
will undergo decomposition and
be in the right place for the
rootlets to feed upon when the
crops start.
Disintcgration is one Of the
great secrets of the beneficial
effects from fall blowing. Its
action is both mechanical and
chemical. Land when broken
by the pillow holds greater
percentage ofwater. 1t freezes
when in this wet state, then it
thaws and the disintegration is
complete. All moisture receiv-
ed on the surface filters thraugh
the pulverized earth evenly, and
in consequence the manurial
properties in the water reach
every particle ofthe soil and are
retained,
Another advantage Of plow-
ing is the much greater surface
of soil exposed. Compact
graund.. presents but one sur
face to the air, while that which
is well broken exposes nearly
every side of every particle Of
soil as deep as the filth goes.
The filth is also deepened, and
clay subsoil thrown on tip be-
comes subjected to atmospher-
ic actions which prepare it for
any solvents that may be ap
piled.
The unearthing of pestilent
insects from their comfortable
hiding places in the fall and OK
posisg them to the weather is
one of the incalculable benefits
arising from fall blowing. The
turning under of cockleburrs,
ox-eye daisy, foxtail and other
noxious weeds with the stubble
of the grain fields before their
seeds mature is still another
benefit, as these growths are des-
troyed and forced to serve the
land they previously burdened
by enriching it
Farmers who are constantly
complaining that blowing under
certain weeds only tends to a
more luxurious growth are re-
minded that weeds which are
propagated by seed should be
turned under before the seed
ripens. If the process is delay
ed a foul crop of weed seed is
planted instead of destroyed.
Cultivators who understand the
good effects oil fall blowing,
some of which, by the way, is
best accomplished during the
summer, will set the plows NOV
ing, if they are not already
started, on lands designed for
winter grain, fall seedlings, and
for corn next spring--N. Y

Visitors to the Scarborough
aquarium were treated to a
struggle between a man and a
large devilfsh. The keeper,
while cleaning out the tank oc-.
cupied by the octopedes, was
seized by the largest of the
creatures, which fastened four
tentacles round the leg of the
boot, and with the other four
held firmly on to the rocks
forming the back of the tank.
A struggle took place, during
which the man found he could
not disengage himself without
killing the animal, and finally
hit upon the expedient of slip
ping his leg out. leaving the
boot in the water.-M-Y SIN.

The LEGAL FENcE.-Mr. H.
H. Fort, a practical farmer OF
good sense and observation,
says, with reference to the legal
fence as prescribed by legisla-
tive enactment that it is practic-
ally a failure. This fence is
four and a half feet high, and
with only two wires and a plank,
the spaces are so broad that cat
tie can break through with case.
Now if it was only three and a
half feet high, says he, the OBJ
lection would be obviated, and
with a barbed wire on top, cat
tie would not go over and could
no., as now, go through. This
is a very important matter as
affecting the agricultural inter
ests. and we should be pleased
to hear an expression from 9TH
ers on the subject, with view
to effecting such a change in the
law as will render the fence eff
fective for the objects proposed.

Many persons in the south
make a mistake by ordering
bulls two years old. If they
would order bull calves in the
fall, that are six or eight months
old, they would come nearer
hitting the nail on the head.
They would then run but little
if any risk of acclimating the
animal. The freight expense
would be much less, the cost of
the animal would be less, and
he would be ready for moderate
service in the spring. And this
remark applies to cattle of all
breeds. Buy young for a south
ern latitude. = Purchase in the
fall and early winter, instead of
the spring and summer, and
with little extra care the fol-
loving summer, the animal will
do well and live to an advanced
age.-Colman's Rwal Ws,M.
