pleuro-pneumonia, held a session We'd

A Washington special upon the condl-

moved down into the pelvic cavity.
Close watch is being kept for it, and an
examination is made each time the ene-
ma is administered. as it is expected to
make its appearance alongside of the
lower bowels. As soon as it is discover
ed in this region an operation will be
performed to remove it. 1t is going
down simply by force of gravity, and it
is looked for every day to come near
enough the lower intestine to be detect

WHY Does Timothy Run Out:

Nv r.. s. Gold. West Cornwall,

Houoestead Of some Of the theories
nut forw ard TO account tor the run
ming out of timothy, and OF his
purpose to try plan that has
proved successful in the case OF
clover
"The disappearance OF timothy
from our natural mowIngs Is va
riously accounted for, First 1t IS
CHARGED to the moving machine as
cutting too closely. We usually
r run our machine at medium height,
rarely using the closest cut, but
prefer the medium or highest. Here
we encountered difficulty with the
t jnge, We ' essd go S use the highest
cut. and the machine would run
over much Of the lodged grass
Second, it is charged to too early
moving. as We now NOW some TWO
weeks Or month earlier than Tor
merly Timothy runs ont most
upon seedlings Of the early cut
meadows. Third, we agree win
those who attribute it to the Peeu-
liar character Of cur seasons rather
than to either OF the above. Some
period OF each year for the last ten
has been remarkably dry, and the
timothy has never recovered from
the effects. As timothy is cut
earlier, there is less natural re-
seeding than formerly, also less Is
foddered out on the fields, scatter
ing the seeds. l shall try reseed-
ing with timothy, with top dressing
and the smoothing harrow. L have
tried red clover successfully in that
way. This seems to be the best
means TO overcome the white daisy
Give an abundant top dressing
thirty cart loads per acre, and TOUR
quarts of clover seed narrowed H.
Two applications will surely prove
sfectual on any reasonably good

Whatever hog medicine contains
a good proportion of charcoal is
presumptively good medicine 1t
may be possible fox quackery to so
combine charcoal with other ingre-
dents that the tfficacacy of this
remedial agent will be destroyed,
hut it would. we believe, take a
regular doubls oaTeled quackery
to destroy it under any circum-
stances. 1t is most useful medi-
cine by itself, and worth more than
any one ingredient that we ever put
into a medicine. 1t benefits the
hog system by absorbing the in
furious gases within II, and It's alb
sorptive qualities are so great that
ii will absorb about eighty times
more gas than its own measure
nent. 1t is TO this quality that II
owes its efficacy when given to
bloated animals, and nothing equal
to it was ever given or las ever
been discovered III such cases.
Few of our readers but arc doubt
less aware how nagnifcently ii acts
in human complaints, and to sach
it is recommended in diseases Of
domestic animals, and especially
swine, with jss; as mach confidence
OF its being a success as when given
to human beings: One beauty
about it, toe, is that it can do 10
harm, something that cannot be
said OF many Of the nOstIums which

SEEDS BEST SowN IN AUTUMN.

SEEDS BEST SowN IN AUTUMN
Most people have observed, no
doubt, that self grown seeds, that
have dropped from the growing
plants of the previous season, some
time produced the strongest and
most healthy plants 'hat bloom the
most freely. This is true of several
kinds, and particularly those that
suffer under exposure to our mid
summer suns. The reason is that
self sown seeds get a healthy
growth 10 the spring, negotiating as
soon as frost is gone, and are good
sized plants by the time we usually
pat seeds in the ground, even if they
10 not start in the fall. They thus
mature and flower during the cool
weather of spring. The Clarkias
and Neomphilas and Annual Lark
spuls are noted examples. There
are also several varieties of hardy
ANNALS that do well with spring
sowing in the open ground, and re-
ward us with early spring flowers.
Sweet Allyssum and white Candy
iuft will give us abundance of white
for early cutting if sown in the
autumn. In a sandy soil the Portu-
Iacca may be sown in the autumn
with good success Seeds OF bien-
mails and perennials, il sOwn early
enough to produce strong little,
plants, will flower the next summer;
Pansies and Chinese Pinks. though
they bloom the first summer 1t
sown in the spring, will make much
stronger plants aud flower more
freely and earlier it young plants
are grown in the autumn. - FicSs

How TO Make Good Butter.

y correspondent vi tHS N"A~OS
Inter-O Ocean writes:
In winter have good, dry, warm
place for your COWS. Feed ground
feed, ground~corn and oats, mixed
with bran or shorts, two parts OF
corn to one of the others, perhaps
the best and cheapest food to pro
duce a good quality, as well as
quantity, of butter, Give the COWS
plenty of sweet, early cut timothy
and clover hay. See that they
have plenty Of pure water not Ice
water but as warm as it Is IN the
well, if possible. During the sum
n.er have plenty of tame pasture
and pure water, and when pastures
get short give libtral feed OF
sweet corn, stalks and all.
Milk pals and pans should be
thoroughly scalded every time be-
fore using, | prefer tin pals TO
wooden ones.
Ii you have nothing in cellar
in which to set the milk, see that 1t
is properly ventilated and do not
have anything else ia the cellar
with the milk. The cellar should
lie thoroughly whitewashed every
spring and kept sweet and clean.
Ii your cellar is damp, get a dimes
worth OF unslacked lime every two
or three weeks and scattered around
the cellar. The lime takes the
moisture fIom the cellar, also helps
to keep it sweet. In not weather,
if you have them, use water vats
containing enough water to come
up around the pans or pals as deep
as the milk is is in the vessels.
A temperature OF 60 to GA degrees
will keep milk sweet thirty-slx
hours.
Swimming must be seen to in
proper season, ii all else is neg
lected. The neglect to take off the
cream at the proper time spoils
more butter than anything else
connected with its manufacture.
You must watch your milk in hot
weather and not let it thicken be-
fore the cream was taken off. Or
dinarily the cream should be taken
off in thirty-six hours after setting
the milk. 1t never should stand
over iorty-eisht hours, and it is
sometimes necessary to take 1t oft
in twenty-tour hours, If it stands
over forty-eigat hours it makes Bit
Ter butter. Milk should never be
set in cold weather where it will
chill. 1t Injuries the milk as much
much to chill as TO keep it too high
a temperature in hot weather. OBJ
serve these directions closely.
Churn every day if possible.
Cream should not be kept longer
than forty-eight hours at most. 1t
should be little acid, Have
the cream at temperature OF %
to 60 degrees in simmer, and 81
to "a degrees in winter. DO not
chnrn too quickly ; twenty to thirty
minutes is quick enough. Stop
when the butter separates into
small particles like shot. Now
draw off the buttermilk, and wash
with cold water or cold weak brine,
until the water runs clear. Then
gather and remove to the worker.
Work the salt thoroughly through
the butter, about one ounce to the
bound. After you have worked the
salt thoroughly through the butter,
set it away in cool, clean place
tor twenty or twenty four hours.
Then work until the brine iuns
clear. Do not work too much; 1t
makes the butter greasy
