poath In a Fog.

London foes, which are now attracting
more than usual attention. are known 10
be injurious TO health. but are not gen
orally credited with the power OF inn
mediately extinguishing life. II seems,
however. by the evidence given at an
inquest held by DR.. Hardwicke the
othe' day, that their effect is OCCASION
ally that Of deadly poison. The inquest
was on the body OF woman who, In a
dense fog, attempted TO find her way
home after paying visit to a friend.
While feeling her way along street in
Barnsbury by the side Of another woman
for mutual protection, the fog "got
down her throat" and she fell TO the
ground. A man living In the neighbor-
hood, hearing what had occurred, CROPPED
his way to the spot and tried to re-
store her with brandy, but failing in his
efforts, with some difficulty got hold of
q policeman, and at the police station
she was found to be dead. She had, ao-
cordinR to the medical evidence, been
ssphyxiated by the fog.

WaterproofnQ.

A writer in The Field, of London, says
nothing is equal to ''cold-drawn castor-oii,
pure and simple" and this is how he uses
it,
at is best applied before moderate fire.
The boots to be dressed should be quite
clean and dry, and especial care should be
given to the welt and the tongues, and their
stitching to the upper feathers. 1 generally
begin by pouring the oil from the bottle all
round the welt, SO that the angle between
the sole and the upper leather is quite filled
with oil, and then proceed all over the boot,
including the edges of the soles, rubbing it
in with the hand. When one is done, have
turn at the other, and so alternately till
you have got in about tablespoonful and
half to each boot. The tongues, being thin
ner leather, should be quite saturated.
Subsequent dressings will not require so
much OIL have never found anything to
touch this as waterproof dressing; the GEL
atinous oil seems to effectually stop every
pore in the leather. There is another ad-
vantage for those who are natty in such
matters; the boots will soon take a good

man may. if he likes, waterproof his Or
binary walking boots for bad weather with
out spelling their appearance. With COM
mon walking boot, of ordinary thickness,
apply the oil all over the sole. I wear boots

socks, for from eight to twelve hours day
or more, without feeling the slightest incon-
venience in any way; but they have the
chilly feeling inseparable from all boots

Cotton Seed Meal.

How to use cotton seed meal in feeding it
to stock is matter of no little Importance.
When fed too freely, it may do much harm
and therefore should be used intelligently.
1t is worth now about $50 per ton, and is
considered at that price, one of the most
useful foods when used with Judgment.
Analyses show that. ton of Gotten seed
meal contains thirty eight pounds of potash
and fifty-six pounds of phosphoric acid with
seyenty-eight pounds of nitrogen. Being so
rich in nitrogen and oil it should be used
with food rich in starch, such as potatoes
and roots. One pound of cotton seed meal
Is considered by some, equal to two pounds
of corn meal. Thus it will be seen it is so
rich that it must be fed only in small guam
titles. A Southern writer says two pounds
day are quite enough for COW that is
milking; calf should not have more than
two to four ounces; pigs will not thrive on
it at all, as it is too rich for them, except
when given in small quantities mixed with
bran Stops, or cut roots. Horses do we'll on
it, if given two pounds daily with corn
meal; two pounds of it equal ten pounds of
oats. But, if fed too abundantly, the bow
els are made very costive and the kidneys
are affected. This is doubtless on account
OF lis highly heterogeneous nature, as the
waste nitrogen is eliminated from the sys-
tenn through the kidneys, and they are too
actively excited by very rich food. The
next i'll effect is an 'infammatory condition
of the system and in cows there is danger
of garget, and horses suffer from irritation
of the skin, sore mouth, and hide-bound.
1t is as though man was fed on extract of
beef, rich pastry, and such food only. One
pound of cotton seed meal mixed with half
peck of boiled potatoes mashed together,
would make good feed for fattening pig, or
milking cow, but the pig should have corn
n fNt. fha I,;1x
These facts should be kept iu mind, as
there is little doubt that more of this food
will henceforth be used in this country than
has been heretofore

Benefits of Hoeing.

Too many persons who use the hoe SUD-
pose that the chief benefit derived from it is
that it kills the weeds. That, certainly, is
an important work, and one which is great
ly neglected. Weeds are not only in the
way of cultivating crops which we plant,
but they rob them of much of the nutriment
they need. Hoeing, then, is an essential
service in respect to destroying weeds,
There are other advantages, however,
which are quite commonly overlooked,
Let us see:-
1. The loosening of the soil in the opera
ton of hoeing is beneficial to the plants; as
much as the destruction of the weeds. or
more so.
2. Moisture abounds in the atmosphere
during the hottest months, and it is alb
serbed and returned most adundantly by a
soil which is in the most friabe state. Pro-
lessor Schuluber found that 1000 grains of
stiff clay absorbed in twenty-four hours on
ly thirtv-six grains of moisture from the air.
while garden mold absorbed forty five
grains, and fine magnesia seventy-six grains.
j. Then, again, pulverizing the soil ena-
bles 1t better to retain the moisture absorbed.
4. The soil, in order to be healthy and
active, must breathe: A light, porous soil
admits the air, and thus it is fed and greatly
invigorated by the atmosphere,
5. The SUMS rays heat hard soil more
quickly than loose one, and the hotter the
sun is so much greater will be the evapora-
ton from it; so that the hard soil is deprived
of moisture much sooner than one of loose
texture.
z g. The roots of plants can find their wav
through moist, loose soil in search of food
much better than they can through hard,
dry soil.
Z. A soil that is kept loose near the sur
face by the action of the hoe will receive and
hold the rain water that falls, while hard
soil will allow most of it to run off into the
valleys and streams as it falls.
An English gardener, Mr.. Barnes, of Dey
onshire, in giving an opinion of the impor
lance OF hoeing, ''said he did not agree with
those who say that one good wedding is
worth two hoeings. say never weed any
crop in which hoe can get between the
plants, not so much for the sake of DESTROY
ing the weeds and vermin, which must nee
essary be the cause if the hoeing be done
well, as for increasing the porosity of the
soil, TO allow the water and air to penetrate
freely through it." He adds: Il am we'll
convinced, by long and close practice, that
oftentimes there is more benefit derived by
crops from keeping them well hoed, than
there is from keeping the manure applied.''

Feeding Cows Grain in Summer.

Cows which have all the sweet pasture
grass they need. do not need other food.
They will give the most and the best milk
on an abundance of good grass, that they
will on most any feed. Few cows, however,
are supplied with all the pasture grass they
can consume. The larger part OF our pas
lures soon get short of feed and the cows
do not obtain all they want to eat As
consequence cows generally begin to fall off
in their milk soon after July SEES in, and the
falling off of milk continues each month I'M
til late in the autumn, when it is found the
cows are nearly dry. Many farmers provide
a supply Of corn fodder to feed the cows in
August and September, but this is not soon
enough to begin giving the extra feed. Of
tentimes the cows have shrunk one-thrd or
one-half in their milk before the corn fodder
is ready for them, and after the flow is once
diminished, it is increased with much diff
Guilty.
AS soon as the pastures begin to fail, the
COWS should be furnished with additional
food sufficient to maintain their full quanti-
ty of milk. 1t does not pay TO allow herd
of COWS to shrink one-third or one-half in
their milk before the summer is gone, and
their is no need of it, BY feeding grain of
some kind, the flow of milk may be main
tanned throughout the summer, and even
late into the autumn. Corn meal, brau and
cotton seed meal are all good for feeding for
this purpose, and the return in milk, butter
and cheese will amply repay the outlay. AT
no season in the year will a better return be
obtained for the amount of grain fed to
milk-giving cows than in the summer when
the pastures begin to fail. In winter the
cold weather causes part of the grain to go
TO maintain the animal warmth, but in the
summer very little food is required for this
purpose and it is nearly all converted into
milk or flesh.
II is to be hoped that many of our farmers
will try feeding grain this summer Begin
as soon as the quantity of milk begins to di-
minish, and feed just enough to maintain
full flow. 1t will be found that such feed
ing will pay. Not only will the total
amount of milk obtained during the sum-
mer and fall be largely increased, but the
cows will also be in good condition, for
winter dairying, giving good mess of milk.
The COW is milk machiue and the more
food each COW can economically work over
into milk, the greater the profit from dairy
ing. Never allow the machine to become
idle in part for want of sufficient supplies
of raw material.-Lewiston Journal.

The Cabbage Pest.

A writer in the Prairie Farmer says he &C
cidentally rid himself of the cabbage worm
last year. He tells the story as follows:
''Like many others we were afflicted with
the cabbage pest or pests, there being two
varieties of the worm, agreeing in one re-
spect-their fondness for cabbage. We had
the usual number of plants set in our gar
den. We had also large bed of carrots, in
which the failure of seed left occasional va
cancies. These were filled up with cabbage
plants. In the garden the worms were
picked several times, besides treating them
to salt and pepper and such condiments,
but to no avail. The worms took the cab
bage. In the carrot bed the worms were
picked once while the carrots were small !;
after that the cabbage grew without moles-
tation and ripened without sign of worm
upon them. Just outside the carrots were
few cabbages which were entirely de.
stroyed by worms, while among the carrots
not leaf was punctured. These are the
facts, and we have no carrot seed to SELL
We raised fine crop of carrots, which we
appreciated for Spring feeding, and saved
our cabbages. We shall try it again this
year as an experiment; last year it was an
accident, which gave such good results that
we have confidence in it. Our theory is
that the strong odor of the carrots is Often
sive to the insect that makes the mischief"

aud regard it so far in a favorable light.
But, as we said on various occasions, we do
not advise general resort to this mode, at
tended as it is by considerable outlay, until
those who have given it fair trial of two,
three or four years, shall testify to and show
indisputably the advantages which they de-
rive from it. Meantime, do not forget the
fodder sewing suggested above, which, as a
rule, will come in so advantageously in Sep
