1t would be much better If horses
were trained to walk fast, rather than
to trot and run. A farmer needs good
walking, but cares nothing for 2,40 trot-
ting. ....4.....t.I., .,.- ..s ....
-Enameled cloth makes neat and
useful covering for the wide lower shelf
in the pantry where bread and cake are
cut. 1t is useful also, and looks well on
the kitchen table, and can be kept abso-
lutely clean with little trouble. ,iI-
Writing of the effect of food on
flesh and eggs, correspondent of the
Toronto Globe cites the fact that these
products of fowls kept on supplies of an
unclean kind, such rs swill and decayed
garbage, will in one case quickly taint
and in the other taste unsavory.
AT the last annual meeting of the
National Butter and Egg Association, it
was stated that the best material for
packing eggs is clear, bright oats, and
that in holding eggs in cold storage the
temperature should be kept at thirty
eight degrees to forty degrees The oats
can be sold after unpacking.
"A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman says: As the result of con-
siderably inquiry, and of my own ex-
perience, l think that yield of ten
bushels per acre will give half ton of
straw; a yield of twenty bushels per
acre about l,500 pounds of straw, and
thirty bushels per acre one ton of straw.
As q rule the larger the yield of any
grain the smaller the proportion Of
straw that is required for q bushel.
Prof. Tracy, in an instructive pa
per on the farm and garden, urged the
removal of all beds and the planting of
vegetables in rows so that horse culti-
walton may he practiced; gardens then
would be less neglected. The garden
should be convenient to the barn as well
as to the house, so that it will be easy to
cultivate it whenever field cultivation is
in progress. The garden should be long
| and narrow, so as to save time in culti-
| walton.
Prof. Taylor, of the Agricultural
| Department, announced that naphtha-
line can be used successfully in the de-
struction of insect varmin, etc. He
| says: "If seeds, grain, dormant plants,
etc, be placed in any tight vessel and a
small quantity of the naphthaline be in
troduced into the vessel, and it then be
covered, in few hours any insect that
may infest them will be asphyxiated.
Seeds thus treated have been tested and
do not lose their vitality when the sub
stance used is pure"
-Shipstuffs is the generic name for
bran, middlings and shorts, also called
mill stuffs. Shorts is the next product
of the grain to middlings and comes
next to the flour in fineness. 1t con-
tains the coarsest part of the flour and
most of the inner coating of grain, and
this consists largely of gluten. Shorts
is not made in the new process of grind
ing, being nearly all contained in the
No. 3 and No 3 flour. Shorts alone
would not be good food for cows. If
mixed with as much corn meal it would
be an excellent food, and four to six
quarts day of the mixture would be
ample to keep a COW in full milk.
DIR. /. r. Page, of Baltimore. calls
the attention of physicians. in the Ned
fcal Record, to the topical use of fresh
lemon juice as most efficient means
for the removal of membrane from the
throat, tonsils, ETC.. in diphtheria. He
states that in his hands it has proved the
best agent that he has as yet tried for
the purpose. He applies the juice OF
the lemon to the affected parts every
two or three hours by means of cam
els hair probang. In eighteen cases in
which he has used the remedy the effect
has been all that he could have wished.
He finds that several of his professional
brethren are prepared to give the same
| favorable account of the remedy.
"A writer in West Virginia paper
combats the opinion held by many agri.
culturists, that an open country is never
converted into forest through the OPP
Grafton of natural causes, and, as estab-
fishing the fact that such change does
sometimes occur, brings forward the
case of the Shenandoah Valley. When
first settled, about one hundred and six
ty years ago, it was an open, prairie
like region, covered with tall grass, on
which fed herds of deer, buffalo, elk,
etc, and having no timber, except on
ridgy portions OF it; but in consequence
of its settlement, the annual fires were
prevented, and trees sprang up almost
as thicllly and regularly as if seed had
been planted. These forests, having
been preserved by the farmers, cover
now large part of the surface with hard
wood trees of superior excellence.
These facts would also seem to substan-
tiate the theory that the treeless char
acter of the prairies of the West is due
to the annual burning of the grass by
| the Indians.
