Worth Knowing.

The chief reason why the oil. cloth
on the kitchen floor wears out so soon,
and makes it heavy expense to keep
it in good condition, is this when it is
washed it is not conscientiously dried !;
patches here and there are left moist,
and the cloth soon becomes rotten, the
coating peels off, and all comfort from
having neat kitchen floor is dispensed
with. A flannel mop will do wonders
in the way of drying the floor. 1t should
be of old, soft flannel, but there must
also be desi,s on the part of the one
using the mop to do the work as it
should be done, and she must be will
ing to take cloth in her hand with
which to dry the corners.

A Cure of Pneumonia

Mr.. D. a. Barnaby, Of Owego, N. T., says
thst his daughter was taken with violent
cold which terminated with pneumonia, and ali
the best PHYSICIANS gave the case up and said
she could live but few hours at the most. She
was in this condition when a friend recon-
mended Dr. VIM. Halls Bslsam for The lungs,
and advised her to try it. She acce pted 1t as a
last resort, and was surprised to find that it
produced marked change for the better, and
by persevering in its use cure was effected.

Planting Corn.

SOTH.
Because particular piece of land has
produced corn successfully for mum
Der of years does not imply that the
land is to rich, or that it can endure
such taxation Indefinitely. Nor should
the methods usually in practice be
maintained if better systems can be
presented. The question of deep or
shallow blowing for corn is still unset
tied, but that corn does best under
thorough cultivation cannot be denied.
Good and clean cultivation for corn not
only promotes the growth, increases the
yield and hastens maturity, but the la
Dor of so doing is compensated for by
the good condition in which corn land
is left to be followed by a succeeding
crop of wheat, rye or oats. Weeds and
grass in the cornield are very insight
ly, and if the crop is neglected for a
week after the intruders appear the
work of eradication is increased four
fold. The proper way, therefore, to
work cornfield, is not to allow weeds
to go to seed, and it is safe to say, not
to permit them to secure even stand.
Weeds do more damage to corn by
deprlvlng it of moisture than by rob-
bling it of nutriment. When dry wealth
er sets in the cultivator, by loosening
the earth, permits the absorption of
moisture from the atmosphere, and al
so induces an upward capillary attrac-
ton from below. Every weed or bunch
of grass requires moisture as well as
the corn, and takes it away from the de-
sired crop as completely as if the sup
ply from the corn was cut off entirely.
Thus, in our warfare against weeds we
assist the corn to obtain more moisture,
admit free circulation of air to the
roots by cultivation, render the parti-
cles of earth fine, thereby enabling the
plants to obtain greater nourjshment,
and prevent the seeding of the land
with obnoxious weeds which interfere
with the operations of the following
season.
Corn should be planted early, from
good seed, the cultivator kept in con-
slant activity, and every advantage al
lowed for growth and for yielding a
large crop.-F'drm and Fireside.

Care of Young Stock.

TIE season is here when the dairy
man must both select and properly
care for the calves which are to become
factors in the dairy. The National
Live Stock Journal has the following
respecting the care to be taken of
calves out of which good cows are to be
grown: when selected, the young
animals should be treated with suffi-
cient care and hberality in feeding to
keep them growing thriftily. New milk at
this season of the year is valuable, and
dairymen often think they cannot af-
ford to feed it, and it is certainly
pretty costly feed, but it is not
necessity. We have raised calves for
many years, with very satisfactory re-
suits, on skim milk, by beginning with
new milk aud changing gradually to
skim milk; always feeding it warm and
sweet, till The calves become old enough
to Craze for a considerable share of
their support, when the temperature of
the milk was reduced by slow degrees
to the temperature of the air, supply
ing the place of cream with some nutri-
tious substitute, usually little oil-cake
or cooked corn meal"

Storing Eurs for Summer.

When we put furs into storage for
the season" said furrier recently, "our
first care is to beat them thoroughly
with rattans to drive the dust out, and
get rid of the moth-eggs that may have
been laid in them, or been blown into
them from the air. This done, thew
are hung on wire frames that distend
them, and put into closets that are lined
with tar paper. Moths can not stand
the strong odor of tar, and never live
long under its influence. Every three

or four weeks the furs are taken from,
the closets, and beaten with rattans.
ana So IN the course of season, every
article has to be handled at least a
dozen times. In old times campaor
was used; but it has been discovered
that 1t has tendency to detract from
their color. and make them much light
er In hue. / suppose there is some
thlng IN the dyes used for sable and
other dark furs that camphor inf1u-
ences. Old women still use that drug
however; and when you see a sealskin
sack, or cloak, or dolman, that shows
streaks OF gray or muddy yellow, you
can be sure that it has been kept in
camphor through the hot weather. The
whole secret of keeping furs is to beat
all the dust out of them, and then keep
them IN close closet impregnated with
the odor OF tar. Another old preventive
was pepper, either cayenne or common
black, but this has been abandoned !:
and some good house-keepers used to
keep their furs in tobacco-cuttings. T
have seen moths flourish in tobacco.
and, where have seen insect-powders
used, they have sometimes injured the
furs IN some way, or have been totally
useless In guarding them from their
bitter foe.
Another desideratum in storing furs
Is strict cleanliness. We wash all the
closets every spring with water and
common washing soda, and the latter
serves to destroy any moth-eggs that
may have got into the place. Thus our
closets are never invaded by the moth:
but should we show carelessness for a
single week the result would be disas-
trous. Muffs, collars, and other small
articles, We keep in boxes, packing with
them sufficient tar paper to keep out
the moths, and the shelves on which
they stand are always kept free from
dust. Popular Science Net0s.

Keeping Accounts with Cows.


l was milking in the barn when
young Squire Lawton came in. lifted
up the pail and hung it on the spring
balance. Gust thirteen pounds" said
l, and marked it on the little board on
the wall just opposite where the COW
stood. "What do you do that for %
said he. why, 1 always count,
measure and weigh everything on this
farm" said I. "My father taught me
that when l was bow" "But what's
the use here?" said ne. "You have all
the milk, and no one can cheat you
Don't you be sure of that. Now look
here. You see this board. That's
Topsy's milk account. Here, you see,
is II pounds, 16t pounds, IS pounds,
and then comes Il pounds. That
struck me all of heap, and I went
right there and then to Topsy to see
what was the matter. Her nose was
hot and dry, and her mouth was slob-
bering, and she was not eating. I soon
found what was the matter. She had
been chewing the fence-rails, and big
splinter was jammed into her mouth
between ner teeth, and her jaw was
swelled badly. Now, 1 mightn't have
found that out for two or three days if
l hadn't weighed the milk. But you
see l sooI set her right again. I saved
a good deal of trouble by it. And then
look here. Here is 49, pounds, Is
pounds, II pounds, II pounds, IL
pounds, IA pounds, and then here you
see is only 81 pounds, and all down 81
pounds, pounds, u pounds, pounds,
st pounds. Now look at that COW.
She's pretty, amt she? But, bless you,
handsome is as handsome does. and
that COW don't stay here any longer
than she is fat enough for beef; for she
amt half handsome enough for dairy
man to keep. Then you see these
glasses. These are to measure the
cream by. A COW that won't give Is
per cent. of cream won't pay to keep
with the feed I give them; and heifer
that won't make 10 per cent. won't pay
to raise. and is only good to sell to
those who sell milk. Now, how could I
tell all this if l didn't weigh and meas
ure? See here, this is the feed
measure; one of these goes on to the
feed for every COW at every meal, and
that scoop holds just two quarts. This
basket holds full bushel, and every
COW gets that full every feed. And two
or three get scoopful more. You see
it's all brought down to rule. No
thumb rule either, but weights and
measures every time. A man who
don't weigh and measure everything
about dairy can't tell what he is doing,
and it is Just rs easy for him to lose a
dollar day as It is to fail off a log.
Now, my boy, put that wrinkle on your
horn. It's worth thousand dollars to
you if you don't forget it, but you are
welcome to it for nothing" Cor.

full. At first che ice moved out gradually
but soon began to form n gorge short dis
tance below town, near the mouth OF the
