Agricultural Notes.
Iowa has about 800 creameries. Eleven
years ago the first one was started in
Manchester Delaware county leads OFF
with about seventy.
Tomatoes are somewhat nutritious,
and are said to be q remedy for q tor
pfdlyf Inclined liver.
The prevalence of suicide among farm
sefs has never had its cause explained.
May not the strain on the mind while
acting. as judges at county fairs have
ssomethingto do with it2
Farmers know not what it means to
get up and run q county fair, if they did
we think they would set q higher esti-
mate on it when in full blast. How
many hours, days and weeks of hard
earnest work it has taken the enterpris-
ing secretary Especially and other Of
fairs, support them, show at them

FIR. Moreland, writing TO the Breed
ers Gazette on the training of heifers,
says; II wonder how many farmers
and dairymen properly appreciate the
importance of training young helfers to
stand while being MIXED. A great
many. mixers approach a young heifer
that is to be MIXED for the first time
Just as they would approach an old one.
heller has meyer been MIXED,
knows nothing about it, is sick and
weak, and perhaps frightened, with
teats that lack the toughness
OF old cows, and, as far as the heifer
herself is concerned, needs but slight
assistance to become a kicker"
G. b. K: Attorney is the name of one
of the English Channel Island. The
cattle there are small, slender, light
fawn and white in color, and rich milk
ers. This name is sometimes given to
the Jerseys, which otter but little in
appearance from the Alderney cattle,
but it is very wrongly SO given, rs the
two races are quite distinct. Guernsey
cattle from the Island of Guernsey arr
large, rather coarse boned, orange red
and reddish brown in color chiefly.
They give rich milk and a good deal of
1t, and are fair b%eefcattie when fattened.
General Recipes.
DIR. Holmes says one good thing for
women: There is no such thing as a fe-
male punster. l never knew nor heard
ozone; though l have once or twice
heard awoman make a single detached
pun, as l have known a hen to crow.".
Mead, which is enjoyed by many as a
summer drink, is made of Que pound
OF white sugar, with one pint and q half
eighth OF pound of tartaric acid and
halt an Int Of sasafras. Bottle this,
and when you use it, to each glass add a
q pinch OF soda.
By a process lately discovered by an
English chemist, the hue of flowers is
changed without affecting their perfume
or freshness. The coloring material is
absorbed through the stem. Queerly
enough, flowers refuse to receive
certain colors, however, and if placed in
q mixed solution, make acomplete anal
ysis. Some lilies which had been
treated with purple showed distinct red
veins and blue veins, the colors having
been divided in the process of absorp-
ton. -
MoLAssEs GANDY.-Two cups ofmolass-
es, n cup of white sugar, q small piece
of butter, boil from twenty minutes to
one-half hour. Try it BIZ dropping a lit
tie into cold water; il it hardens, it is
ready to cool. Pour into a flat O
pan, buttered, and when cool work 1t
with the hands. e1f you put a piece OF
butter in the pan before you commence
to cook it, you will not need to stir until
it is done.
To CAN SWEET CoRN.-Fl glass cans
with fresh sweet corn cut from the cob,
place the cans in a wash boiler with clean
straw covering the bottom Of the boiler,
also between the cans, now fill the boil
er with cold, water to come half way up
the cans, (do not put water in the cahs,)
cover the boiler tight, cook two hours,
then put the covers on the cans and cook
one and one half hours more, now re-
move to cool. Tighten the covers and
keep the cans DARK and you will be, re-
warded for your trouble by having green
corn the year round. If any sister tries
this, please report through u paper
with what success.
