Healthfulness of Milk.

If any one wishes to grow fleshy, pint of
milk taken on retiring at night will soon
cover the scrawniest bones. Although we
see good many feshy persons nowadays,
there are great many lean and lank ones,
who sigh for the fashionable measure of
plumpness, and who would be vastly i'm
proved in health and appearance could their
figures be rounded with good solid flesh.
Nothing is more coveted by a thin woman
than full figure, and nothing will so raise
the ire and provoke the scandal of the clip
per-bnild as the consciousness of plumpness
in rival. In case of fever and summer
complaint, milk is now given with excellent
results The idea that milk is feverish has
exploded, and it is now the physicians great
reliance in bringing through typhoid pa
tients or those in too low a state to be nour
ished by solid food. 1t is "A mistake to
scrimp the milk pitcher. Take more milk
and buy less meat. Look to your milk man !;
have large-sized, well-filed milk pitchers on
the table at each meal, and you will have
sound flesh and save doctors Ils.-House-
keeper.

Ashes for Frl1it Treas

When apple or pear trees become diseased
from being planted in unfsvorable or ill-pre-
pared soil, or from lack of food, they are apt
TO be attacked by insects which, if in healthy
condition, would probably be unknown
Certain washes, such as I've Ia solution of
potashl, have been applied with success in
destroying the insects and restoring the tree
to health. But for our own practice, we
have, for the lasttwo years, applied much
simpler remedy with more success, as it
causes the old dead bark, the chosen hiding,
place of the insects, to cleave off, leaving in
its place smooth, healthy surface This is
simply, after a 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 is carried
into every Granny of the old bark, and the
effect is. working cleanliness on the tree. If
there is no rain, the ashes will remain and
be working their good effects, and be ready
for action when the rain comes. The oper-
alton of throwing on the ashes is quickly
performed; if the tree is in bad condition
II is easily repeated until the insects are all
destroyed and new, healthy bark covers
the tree. Two objects are gained by this
operation-the ashes furnish food for the
tree as well as destroying its enemies, and
impart cleanliness to the tree.-Germantow

Salt for Fruit Trees,

A subscriber writes to ask if il would be
desirable to mix salt with ashes to put round
fruit trees, to which we must reply no, I'M
less the quantity is very small; nor are we
at all confident that even small quantity
is desirable. We do not think there are ma
ny soils which would respond very remarka-
bly, TO applications of common salt, except
in such quantities as would kill the trees.
We have known trees destroyed by having
salt or brine come to their roots in several
instances.
DIR. Fisher of Fitchburg, has an ice house.
part of which is used for fruit room, and
salt is added to the ice to produce lower
degree of cold. The salt that dissolyes and
soaks into the ground near the ice house has
killed everything within circle of consider
able area. Large timber trees were stand
ing there as dead drif.wood, at the time of
our last visit to his grounds. The proprie-
tor has made some experiments previously,
we believe, in the use of salt in small guam
titles in his orchard, but without any appre-
ciable benefit.
The farming community has had many
periodic fcvers and eXcitements concerning
the use of salt in agriculture and great
claims have been made for it, but farmers
have not usually found that it is enough of
benefit to make its use desirable, even when
purchased at low price. There will prob
ably be little risk in making trial in small
quantities, say five bushels per acre, and
cases are on record where much larger
amounts have been applied with apparent
good results.-N. E. Farmer.

Milk For Poultry.

This is one of the very best things to give
either young or old fowls. Most every
breeder has tested its value and recon
mends it as a wholesome and nutritious di-
ct, naturally adapted for young chicks and
poultry. On every farm, and in most all
suburban homes, milk is fed to pigs.
This is one way to utilize it; but if farm
ers paid more attention to their poultry
stock than they do they would find that
they could turn it to better account by feed
ing it TO their chicks and laying hens.
All kinds OF poultry are fond of milk.
Although they soon become satiated if fed
exclusively on grain, animal, vegetable or
insect food they seldom refuse milk in any
form-fresh or sour, it makes no difference
to them. Nowadays milk enters largely in
TO the bill of fare for chicks and fowls.
Fanciers have found out that it contains
properties beneficial to their health and
early developement Almost the first food
and with many the first after the yolk is
assimilated- its soothing and nutritive eff
feet is apparent, and if mixed with stale
bread crumbs or oatmeal cake, nothing is
better.
Now, for laying hens milk is nourishing
and induces them to lay. Where it can be
spared it is more valuable to the poultry
stock than to any other. If farmers would
give ita fair trial, and lay aside the fogy no.
tons of their ancestors and look at things
in new light, they would abandon the
practice of feeding their spare milk to pigs
and give it to better paying stock.-Poul-
try Monthly.

The sni,ns Ia the Horse.

1t s well known to all owners of horses
that there is what may be called a tune
which at first is callous and afterwards be-
comes bony, which sometimes grows upon
the horses leg, the base resting upon the
line Of union OF the shank-bone, which ere-
qaentiy causes the horse to go lame-indeed
almost invariably when it invades the knee
joint, and which is fire. ;uently beyond the
reach of the farrier to cure or remove. A
short time ago, no vever, farmer who ap-
peared to be familiar with the ailments of
the horse informed us that he used rene
dy for 1t which was completely successful
with him; and having obtained the ingre-
dents in the belief that the ointment might
be of service in similar cases, we append
them as follows: Equal parts of oil of am
Der. oil Of spike, spirits of turpentine. Mix
well and apply twice day and grease with
little fresh or unsalted lard; or what is
better, the marrow from an uncooked beef
bone. 1t will make the parts sore, and it
will 'run" little, but each one must be his
own judge in the frequency of the apple
ton after it becomes somewhat sore.-Er-

Remedy for Cabbage Worms.

OF all the many remedies that have been
tried for the imported cabbage worm since
it first began to spread over the country,
and 10 play havoc with our cabbage fields,
few, if any, have given entire satisfaction.
1t is safe TO say that the most satisfactory
remedy so far discovered is the use of Pyre-
thrum. We were the first to apply this in
1873, but did not care to recommend it until
further experiments had been made. These
we have made the present year, and caused
TO be made by number of our agents and
correspondents. The general experience is
most favorable, and we unhesitatngly rec
ommend it for all the different worms affect
ing the leaves of our cabbage plant.-Amer-
lean Entomologist.
