will be entirely Invested of its rancidity,
and may be used for cooking purposes,
although its fine flavor will not be re-
stored to make it fit for table use.
A CHEMIST under the auspices of the
Agricultural Department is authority
for the statement that the Chinese sor-
ghum, when in full maturity, contains
a larger per centage of sugar than In
dian corn or the tropical cane.
BLUE calicoes and lawns, which
fade so easily, may have their coiors
set by washing the first time in salt and
water. A weak solution of sugar of
lead will set the color in most washa-
BILE goods, and will keep the tints in
hosiery.
THERE are several ways to get rid of
ants. Boiling water. soapsuds or coal
oil poured in their holes will destroy

IT is of the very utmost importance
that stock should have good. pure water,
and plenty of it. The thirst of animals
during the hot weather can readily be
imagined from Judging it by the human
thirst; and to deprive the animal OF Il

upon the brute creation. The agony of
excessive thirst is simply terrible.

crop of succulent green heritage. When
it is remembered that thirty tons per
acre has been reached, the problem of
curing is seen TO be an important one.
The French system of ensilage may in

method of preservation that retains the
fodderinits green state; but the introduce
ton of such system must be slow,
and until then the old method of dry
preservation must be practiced. The
