HUMBUas.

When cattle sicken, from whstever cause,
nostrums of the worst conceivable kinds
are employed as curatives by the ignorant.
At this season of the year, when pastures
are at their best, mich COWS are forced to
their utmost capacity to produce milk for
factory, creamery, home, dairy or city sup
ply. During the delicate season of par
turition, abnormal treatment of whatever
character, is the cause of severe loss among
tie best and most profitable animals. In
localities where the duly qualified veterina-
rian is not available, a ''sure cure" is tho
inevitable ''salt pork chunk" Other rem
edies are melted lard and tobacco, taking
two quarts of blood from the animal,
assofoeida and water, the oak bark solution
the wood ash solution, and other doses to
vile to mention, and which only add to tho
sufferings of the poor brute, and perhaps
removing all chance of recovery. The
crowning acts Of cruelty are the ''hollow
born fuge," dosing with tarpentin, and cut
ting the tail. Space will not permit to
name all the quackery and humbuggery
practiced in this connection. In nine cases
out of ten nature will do far better if let
alone.

How to Destroy Insects.

Slugs are occasionally seen eating
large holes or notches in the leaves of
all succulents and begonias. They
usually feed at night. Cut potatoes,
turnips or some other feshy vegeta-
bles in halves and place conveniently
near the plants. The slugs will gath.
er upon the vegetable and are easily
destroyed.
The white worm which lnfests, oc-
casionally, all soils where plants are
kept in pots, may be removed as fol-
lows: Sprinkle lime water, over the
soil, or sprinkle little slackened lime
on the earth and in the saucer of the
pot. Lime water may be easily
made by Stacking large piece of
lime in pail of cold water, letting
this settle, and then bottling The
clear water for use. Give each pot a
tablespoonful twice week.
To destroy the little bugs on the
oleander take a piece of lime the size
of hens egg and dissolve in about
two quarts OF water. Wash the
stock and branches with this water.
To destroy plant lice take three
and half ounces of quassia chip,
add five drachms Staves-acre seed IN
powder; placs in seven pints Of water

WhItewashing Fruit Trees.

A number of the Elmira Farmers
Club gives his views and experience
on the above subject in the Hus-
bdaaoman:
"Whitewashing has no benefic cial
effect, in keeping worms from the
trees. Put whitewash on a tree at
the time when the eggs are usually
deposited and they will be placed
there just the same. The only OBJ
ject in whitewashing trees with lime
Or washing with lye is to make the
trunk smooth, to take off the scaly
bark which affords a harbor for in
sects, and in this way lessen the IL
ability to injury from the deposit
Of eggs. I am not sure but the
whole practice is wrong. My own
trees have been washed with lye for
years until they were very smooth,
the bark green and fresh. thought
l had made great improvement
but am inclined now to the opinion
that the change was favorable to the
borer. find trees badly eaten
where had expected complete i'm
munity. Whitewashing trees in the
common way sottens the bark and
makes it easy for the insect to pune
ture it for the deposit OF eggs. In
my opinion nature designed the
rough scaly bark as a protection.
1 think scraping trees is worse than
useless, although I have practiced it.
The only advantage is in giving the
trunk a smooth appearance while
there is the disadvantage of facilita-
ting entrance for the borer. Anoth-
er fault follows she washing. My
trees that were so smoote and had
such green bark are now sunburned,
the bark withered and blackened,
plainly because the scraping and
washing made tie bark more sus-
ceptiblc to injury by the heat of the
sun. I had as handsome trees as
you could find anywhere, and had
considerable pride in their appear
ance because they were commented
upon favorably by passers-by, but l
am now persuaded that the course
taken was extremely hurtful and
have no doubt l shall lose most of the
trees, whereas if the old bark had
been left on l think they would be
healthy now.''

Overlooking Cows Stomachs-

When cows are changed frons
scanty to flush feed, it often happens
that the benefit of the more libera'
supply is neutralized for some time
by allowing them to gorge then7-
selves TO the extent of uncomfortable
ful!ness. An excessive distension OF
the stomach produces infamatory
action aud impedcs digestion, and
tends to diminish the flow of milk,
and to impair its quality. Overload
lug cows stomach invariably gives
strong and disagreeable odor to
her milk, that Injuries it for butter or
for cheese making, and alsoits health
fuIness for food. Such an overload
ing is always indicative of a double
loss-a loss from failing to utilize as
fully as might be the flush feed, and
a previous loss from a supply of food
insufficient to enable the COWS to give
as much milk as they are capable of
giving.
When cows are fed with a liberal
ity that develops full flow of milk,
they will not overload with a food so
little concentrated as green grass.
The fact that they do overload is an
evidence that their previous food was
too scantY for profit, and consequent
ly that loss has been endured on &C
count of it. But when such course
offeeding had existed, and change
is to be made to a better one, loss
from over eating may be prevented
by admitting the herd gradually to
the new feed, ard supplying them
with all the salt and water they de-
sire. The increrse in the new ration
should never be so great AS to change
the flavor Of the milk.-NationaS

Value of Fruit.

1t is fact that fruit is a great reg
ulator of the human system. 1t will
keep the blood in order, the bowels
regular, tone up the stomach, and is
positively specific in many diseas-
es. 1t is said Of doctor who be-
came largely interested in peach
growing, that he recommended
peaches to his patience on all occa-
slons. The story was told to illus
trate the mans meanness; but if be
was mean it was meanness that
benefited his patients. If men were
wise they would spend two days in
a vineyard or orchard to every five
minutes in a drugstore when any
thing is the matter with them. IT
you have dyspepsia, eat fruit. Did
you ever think what doctor gives
for dyspepsia? He gives an acid.
Fruit will furnish a better acid than
a drug store will. Do you know
what the doctors dose you with when
Your liver is out of order? With
acids. Then why not supply the
remedy yourself from your own gar
den? Why continue to have your
medicine done up in such repulsive
mixture when nature furnishes 1t in
so palatable a shape. Every home
should have at least one grapevine.
Once in possession it would be almost
above price.-Kadisou Wis. West-
er7a Farmer.

The superintendent of the model
farm at Guelph, Canada, gives us be-
low the result of some experiments
made there in cattle breeding:
l. A steady frosty winter is bet
ter than an open one in feeding cattle.
2. An average 2 or 8 year old
steer will eat its own weight of dit
ferent materials in two weeks.
8. Two or three year old cattle
will add one-third of a pound more
per day to their weight upon prepar-
cd hay and roots than upon the same
materials unprepared.
4. 1t is 40 per cent: more profit
bale to premature and dispose of fat
tening cattle at two years old than
to keep them up to three years.
5. There is no loss in feeding a
cattle beast well upon a variety of
materials for tho sake of manure
alone.
6. Farm-yard manure from we'll
fed cattle, three years old, is worth
an average of $3.50 per ton.
7. A year old cattle beast, woll
fed, will give at least one ton of ma
nure every month of winter.
s. No cattle beast whatever will
pay for the direct increase to Its
weight from the consumption of any
kind of quantity of food.
