How to Exterminate BurdOcks.

about 10000 seeds, they are bound 10

The colts get their names and tails filled
with them, they cling to the faces and
tails of the calves and cows. and the dog
is tormented Sby their adhering to his

nuisance " N
The best way to get rid of the docks
is to spade them out. and lay the roots
up to dry. If that is considered to be
TOO laborious a job. take sharp hoe

What is a "1ne.Horse.Power,,,

Let US suppose a deep well. A weight
OF loo pounds in the bottom of the well
is tied to rope; the rope going over a
frictionless pulley at the top of the well,
to which rope horse is attached; said
horse walking off at the rate of 25 miles
in ten-hour day, two and one-half
miles in one hour, or 220 feet in one
minute. Two and a half miles an hour,
is two and half times $3.50 feet, or
1920 feet, which divided by 60 min
utes in an hour make 22Q feet travelled
over in one minute. Arithmetical
formula proofs: One foot space one
minute time $4,000 pounds = 5000
pounds; 3S.OOO-220 = $50; or SO, 600
-150 = 220. Steele's Natural Philos-
ophy says: "A horsepower is reckoned
in mechanics as force that will lift
$4,000 pounds one foot in minute,
without any assistance of machinery"
Worcester's Unabridged Dictionary says
a horsepower for a steam engine is "a
power capable of raising $1,000 pounds
avoirdupois through the space of one
foot in minute. ;" Youatt says '.the
average force or power Of traction of
horse is variously stated as equal to 80
pounds, 100 pounds. $50 pounds, and
even 200 pounds'' Some European
writers estimate horse power at about
half or two-thirds of 33, 900 pounds; but
in Great Britain and the United States
the above is the generally accepted
rule. 1t matters very little what the
unit of measure is, if it is only UNDER
stood and accepted. When we say that
certain machinery is 10, 100, or 1000
horsepower, we know it is SO many
times some real or imaginary unit of
measure and that unit must be decided
upon conventionally or by custom.-W

Personal Cleanliness.

When the woman had fully charge Of
the milking and other dairy operations
there was not much need of advising
personal cleanliness. A woman is
naturally Clearly. She can see dir,
where a man would think it irksomely
clean. But the men have largely de-
throned the women in the dairy king.
dom, have driven the old-fashiOned
dairymaid into retirement, and have
brought, it is true, new enterprise and
new strength into the business, and, ii
IS also true, have brought considerable
dirt into it. Usually the carelessneSs as
to personal cleanliness is found more
particularly with those who are en-
ployed TO do the work. There is only
one piece of advice that is suggested
for the proprietor of dairy who will
persist in neglecting personal cleanli-
ness, and that is to 90 out of the bust
ness. An unclean person ought TO be
/ kept out of sight of the milk pail en-
tirely. 1t is utterly impossible to
mingle dirt with milk and have pure
milk, which is so sensitive that it will
absorb all impurities that come into
contact with it. Some appear to
imagine that it makes no difference
how much dirt gets into the milk pail,
because the milk goes through strainer.
The strainer can do nothing more than
separate the visible dirt from the milk.
and it may not always do that. 1t can
not take the odors and gases out. Yet
we have seen men milking with dirty
hands, and milking cows whose udders
We're covered with dirt. which was con-
stantly dropping into the pail.
Wash up, should be the directions to
our mixers. They should be impressed
with the fact that milking is very del
icate business, and that mixer should
be just as tidy when he sits down by the
side of a COW as he is when he goes to
the table to eat. Having secured per-
.sonal cleanliness. the mixers attention
should be next. directed TO having the
cow clean. Brush the dirt off the I'D
der. if there is any on it. 1t will not
require minute to do it. 1t is atten-
ton to such little details that ALWAYS
gives satisfactory results, and it is the
lack of such attention that makes many
a dairy improbable. The time when
butter that is tainted with external
favors can find 2 ready market, is for
ever gone. and if ANYBODY will persist in
so tainting it he must not complain if
he makes less profit than his more care
full neiehber. We earnestly wish tina.
every butter maker would exert himself
and herself to make -the very bestert-
Gle possible. Not only would SUCH Q
course be for the interest of the dairy in

maker. We know that a great
deal of butter is now sold in the village

hat custom is gradually being done
away with. People who make an extra
quality of butter, and know it, will not
submit 10 such treatment. They will

Men and Soil.

the case, the factory population is able
to live without actual starvation or ex-

period. Whenever they are separated

and crowded cities, there is squalor,
