A subscriber of the PdRtGgrdph writes from
Pennsylvania as follows:
II wish to ask you question which please
answer through the weekly Pdntdqrdph. Is 1t
customary in your State for men to do the

Give me your opinion on the subject"
The creamery and olcomargarine editor OF

ton to this question, and is at length prepared
to answer The custom IN Illinois IS not clear
" defined. Cows are MIXED by both men and
women 1t depends good deal on how lazy
the man is, and how much sass ana vinegar
there Is IN the woman Of the house. We have
known men who have insisted on milking the

whose special business it properly Is, that de.
pends on the temper of the COW. II she ls

The Care of The Hair.

Some forty years ago there was introduced
q preparation called Balm of Columbia"
which, when used decorating 10 ne directions,
produced remarkable results in preventing the
hair from falling of, and even in causing
new crop to grow Certificates might nave

not the maker lived in England. The direc-
tions were essentially these. Before going to
bed rub the scalp tor I've think 1t was) ten
minutes, apply the Balm" rub some more
minutes and go to bed The whole efficacy of
the Balm" was duo to the ten minutes scrub.
bing of the scalp before it was applied. If the
stuff had been water, though il was no doubt
some soothing application, II would, with all
this rubbing, have done some good. 1t Will
be found that most of the applications for pre-
venting badness and encouraging the growth
OF the hair depend upon either vigorous rub
bling of the scalp, or they are preparations
which are to be first rubbed well INTO the hair
and then washed out, thus securing the clean
illness so essential to healthy condition. Let
any one with naturally dry hair try persls-
tent brushing with stiff brush, or the use OF
a fine.toothed comb for some minutes, and I'M
less there is some disease Of the scalp, the hair
will become surprisingly moist. or course
those who curl and crimp their hair by the
use of heated irons must expect 1t to become
injured, and no help can be looked for so long
as the practice is followed. With others, and
IN many cases, badness IN comparative youth
is hereditary, and in such cases 1t is doubtful
| if any treatment can be OF use Where the
| HAIR has fallen on account Of severe illness or
from other temporary cause, some gentle slim
ulant to the scalp may promote or hasten the
growth. One of the most useful preparations
of this kind is half an ounce Of tincturc OF
cantharldcs Kept by the drugglsts) to quart
bottle Of bay rum, using 1t upon the scalp
with gentle rubbing on going to bed.
When the barber kindly informs his patient
that his hair Is badly filled with dandrutf, and
proposes TO shampoo 1t as remedy, 1t Is safe
TO say NO" most positively; the majority OF
BARRIERS use as a shampOning liquid either a
solution of "salts of tarter" alone or mixed
with borax. They are probably not aware that
salts of tartcr" is but name for purified
potash. When solution or this is put upon
the head it combines with the natural OIL OF
the hair and scalp, and forms a soap which
I makes dense lather in the hair; this is wash
ed out and while 1t eifectually removes the
dandruff and dust, it has also removed The oil
which is needed to keep the HAIR in healthy
condition. Avoid all such shampoonlng A
teaspoonful of powdered boraX IN n quart OF
warm water forms safe shampooning liquid
but still better is the yolk OF An egg, work ed
thoroughly into the hair, applying little at a
| time, and then washing it out The egg Will
leave the hair surprisingly clean and the scalp
soft and free from dandrufl -Americon.

down and presses against the shoe and the

ASHES FOR FRUIT lREEs.-When apple or
pear trees become diseased from being planted
IN unfavorable or lllprepared soil, or from
lack OF TODD they are very apt to be attacked
by insects, which, if in healthy condition,
would probably be unknown. Certain washes,
such as lye solution of potash), have been
applied with success in destroying the insects
and restoring the trees TO health. But for our
own practice We have, for the last two years,
applied a much simpler remedy with more
success, as it causes the old dead bark, the
chosen hiding place of the Insects, to clcave
off, leaving in its place smooth, healthy sur
face This is SIMPLY, after rain and while
the bark is yet wet to throw on dry wood ashes
until the power of retention is full If rain
soon follows the strength Of the ashes IL car
ried into every Granny of the old bark and the
effect IS working cleanliness on the trees. IL
there is no ram the ashes Will remain and be
working their good effects, and be ready for
action when the rain comes. The operation
OF sowing on ashes is easily and quickly per
formed; If the tree is IN bad condition it is
easily repeated until the insects are all de
stroyed and new healthy barkcovcrs the tree.
Insects eggs will never hatch under the lntlu-
ence of ashes Two objects are gained by this
operation-t the ashes furnish TODD for the tree

HOUSEHOLD AND FARM.


The Boston Il ournal Of Chemist,'y says:
Modern science has let in flood OF light
upon the cause of many illnesses, and the ma.
ture of the contagion upon which their propa..
CATION depends. Not only has the cause OF
disease been traced to agents external to tie
body, but the exact form Of these distributing
organisms has been pointed out. They con-
slst Of minute particles, probably in most or
all cases of vegetable nature; they are there
fore non. gaseous and IN no respect comport
themselves like gaseous bodies.
The best method to dislnfect clothing is by
the use of heat Experiment has shown that
no form of contagla can stand temperature
of 220o Fahrenheit therefore, clothing placed
in a hot box two hours, with dry heat above
that of boiling water, is thoroughly disinfect
ed or 1t may be soaked IN boiling water with
the same result.
Chlorine is gaseous body, ana is in orein'
airy cases an effective dlsinfectant. IL IS, how
ever, inferior to sulphurous acid; this Is the
most valuable agent we have; but unfortunate
ly It Is not safe IN inexperienced hands. A
room IN which a case of infectious disease has
been placed can be thoroughly cleansed by
inmates. The sulphurous acid is gas exceed
ingly disagrceablc and lrresplrable, and great
caution is necessary in its use
Permanganate Of potash is true disinfect-
ant having oxodlzlng powers of high capa-
bility but 1t must be used in much larger
quantities than are usually employed. Its
high cost is bar to Its tree use, and 1t is not
clearly seen how il can ever become much
cheaper Chloride of lime, freely used, Is a
good disinfectant; but when it is placed in
vessels IN small quantities in sick rooms or
sparlngly sprinkled IN drains, it has but slight
influence as a destroyer OF contaglon. Carbo
ate of lime is n cheap and good dlsinfectans
but It must be used in large amounts to be
useful Several of the metallic salts have pow
erful antiseptic properties; for example, the
protosulphate of iron. This salt, IN strong
solution, is a valuable agent and Is worthy of
notice. At this point it should be stated that
carboic acid and the metallic salts, used in
small quantities, are preservatIve agents, and
may actually prolong the lite OF contagion by
preventing its destruction through natural
processes.
There are numerous patented 'antiseptlcs"
and 'dislnfectants," which are perfectly worth
less so far as any influence upon septic germs
is concerned 1t is very important that heads
of families, and especially physicians, should
clearly understand what is required when
selecting an agent for practical use.
