Peluty never supplies the place OF
neatness- Fine clothes Will not conceal
the slattern. A young woman with her
hair always in disorder, and her clothes

fool OF drunkard.
Causes apparently very slight may of
ten produce the most marked results in
termination. The smaller the seed the
more likely in general Is it to be inhu-
enced by almost imperceptble causes.
In sowing turnips those farmers who
raise large quantities no infrequently re-
mark that i'll dry, warm days Il vast diff
ference is made i'll the crops between
planting the seed in the fresh moist soil,
Just after the marking out plough, and
IN planting after the soil has had two or
three hours to dry.
A CORES LOndent of the New England
Farmer says: Milk or clean water
should be kept near the heEs constantly,
but to keep 1t clean is the thing. We
were formerly bothered considerably in
the matter, but finally l took II pine slab, y,
about fourteen inches wide, and sawed it
off the same length; bored hole in each
corner, on the flat side. and put in a post,
80 as to raise it Six inches from the floor
filled a tin pan with pure water and set
1t under his stool; the hens cannot get
into 1t, but can stick their heads in and
drink nicely.
With regard to the blue color some
times acquired by milk, Herr Harsen
says milk becomes blue only be-
fore complete coagulation. Light and
heat have little influence on develop
ment of the pigment bacteria; but access
of oxygen is indispensable. If the sur
face of the milk be covered with a layer
of oil to keep off oxygen, the develop
ment of the blueness is stepped. With
the microscope, one finds in milk turn
ing blue partly mobile bacteria of rod
shape. rapidly multiplying by division,
while the yield blue matter like aniline.
DR.. j. B. Lawes. of England, believes
that live stock demands dryer food in
winter feeding than In summer. He also
believes that the American farmer claims
TOO much for ensilage, when applied TO
grass or clover, since they are best fed
dry, the silo adding nothing to their
value and the process of drying in the
production of the subtracting nothing
but water. In the matter OF preserving
corn fodder, the arguments are in favor
of the soil. but in the cultivation of corn
IN any form the British farmer has bat
little experience. owing to the cool, wet
climate of England.
