tural Experiment Station In that State.
To clean oil-cloth, wash with warm
milk. Once in six months scour with
hot soapsuds, dry thoroughly, and apply
q coat of varnish. They will last as
long again.-DenUer Tribune.

e. "A flannel cloth dipped into warm
soapsuds and then into whiting and ap-
piled to paint will remove all grease
and dirt. Wash with clean water, and
dry. The most delicate paint will not
be injured and will look like new.-N.
Y. Independent.

crackers to suit; add one quart of milk
and corn cut from eight good sized
ears; boil ten minutes. The above may
be made from canned corn, but 1t must

The practice of thinning potato
vines to two stalks in the Hill, when
they exceed that number, has been an
nual with a correspondent of the An1eri-
can CfgltiUdtor, and his father before
him, for fifty years. This Is done at
hoeing time, the superfuous (weakest)
stalks being treated as weeds. The eff
feet Is, as may be supposed, an increase
of large, handsome tubers. The object
of cutting seed to single eyes is in part
to prevent overcrowding and competition
of staIks.-N. Y. Tribune.
After such muddy winter the feet
of all sheep need attention. The hoefs
have been soft and grown into bad shape

comfort of the animal Beside, mud has
become dry in the cleft of the hoof, and
particularly mud and trash makes them
lame. No sheep or animal can thrive
while miserable on its feet. A little
timely care now, as at all times, VIII
add greatly to the comfort of the flock,
and that means its profit In health,
condition, fleece and lambs.-Br.
Potato growing has been the object
of a curious experiment just completed
in England. A pound of early potatoes
was taken and allowed to spirit (sprout)
freely. From each potato spirit was
broken, and potatoes and spirits
were then planted in separate rows.
Both grew well, and the following Is the
result of the experiment: From the
spirits, which weighed in all half an
ounce, five pounds five ounces Of sound
potatoes have been Obtained, and from
the pound of potatoes five pounds four
ounces, showing a slight balance in ia
vor of the spirits. The spirit potatoes
were the more regular in shape, the
earlier in growth.-ChicGgo Tribune.
