Spots on the carpet may be removed by
an application of ox-gall or ammonia and
water.
To remove mildew, rub the spots well
with soft-soap, then cover with mixture
of soap and powdered chalk, and lay up
on the grass in the sun.
Nothing is better to clean silver with
than alcohol and ammonia; after rubbing
with this, take little whitening on a
soft cloth and polish; in this way even
frosted silver, which is so difficult to
clean, may be easily made clear and
bright.
A correspondent recommends the use
of fresh, green grape leaves to place on
top Of pickles in jars in place of flannel
or other cloth usually employed. The
leaves will preserve the vinegar sharp and
clear, and impart nice flavor. The
leaves should be rinsed in pure water and
left to drain before use and occasionally
changed. They exclude the air, and, be-
side imparting a delightful odor to the
pickles, cause less trouble to the house

Buoat In Cows.

The best remedy for bloat IS to pre-
vent it by feeding cautiously. Some
COWS whose digestive power is weak suf-
fer from bloating, which is one of the
results of indigestion To prevent this
a regular course of treatment should be
followed. Begin by giving pint of
liuseed oil, and repeat this three times at
intervals OF three days. Then mix one
pound Of carbonate Of soda and one of
salt, four ounces of ground ginger, two
ounces Of powdered gentian root and
two ounces ofpowdered sulphate of iron,
and give tablespoonful of the mixture
night and morning in little scalded
BRAN cut feed or linseed meal Care is
to be taken that the COW is not overfcd,
and only moderately watered some time
after feeding or soon before it.

made to know their places and keep IN

overindulgence as with too harsh treat.

1t is quite plain that it does not pay to
plant either sprouts or potatoes from
which large sprouts have been taken. To
be sure the potatoes will sprout again,
but the new growth has little vitality.
OF course this single experiment is not
conclusive, but it points pretty directly
that way.
Keep the sheep dry under foot with

pines away and ceases TO be. You can
not put rubber boots on him, but you can
put litter under him. This is more neces-

4 great deal of money Is expended in
stables for horses, barns for cows and
houses for sheep, but one rarely secs
elaborate or expensive houses for swine.
When large houses are constructed, of
necessity many animals are brought
together, and it becomes difficult mat
TER to gain for all the proper ventilation,
sunlight and general comfort. Farmers
generally 9gree that houses or pens Of
simple construction, which may be
moved or pulled down without great loss
when once infested by disease or verfnin.
are best and cheapest in the end. When
but few pigs are kent these can in spring,
summer and even during the early fall be
kept in sIaall portable pens which may
be moved few feet every day or two.
This plan gives the pigs the benefit of
fresh, clean earth and grass continually.
Such pens smust of course be light in
weight and are therefore best when
made Of pine lumber. Each pen ought
to be provided with trough and some
sort of temporary roof over one end to
afford shade from'the sun.
Light portable pens are suited only to
mild weather and small numbers. For
will protect from storms and cold. The
following plan for a pig pen, it is
claimed, may be built ut a cost not ex-
ceeding $25, exclusive Of labor. Nine
posts are SGT one foot in the ground and
so as to project as far above the surface.
These are arranged to form square,
with three posts on each side and one
IN the center. Four by four-inch stills
are laid upon the posts, with a cross sill
in the center and halyed together at the
joints. No wall posts are used, stout
boarding being used to serve the pur-
pose.
A convenient size is gained by making
the pen eight feet each way, but it can
be built to suit the requirements of the
builder. TO put up the walls begin at
the bottom, fastening on the corner
boards first and mailing their edges
firmly together. Two by four-inch strips
serve as plates. Two by six-inch floor
beams are laid upon the stills, sixteen
inches apart, and the floor upon
these Two four-inch rafters are placed
four feet, apart, upon which three
twelve-ineh boards are laid-one at the
peak, one at the caves and one be
tween these two. The roof boards
proper, eight feet long, are put on
lengthwise of the rafters and battcned
Space for the doors and windows are cut
in the boards.
The interior division should be made
SO as to give onc-half of the space to
feeding place and the other side to
sleeping room Across the front should
run narrow passage, from which is a
sloping board by which to pour slop into
the trough in the feeding-room. A
sloping gangway must also lead from the
passage to the ground.
In whatever style the pen may be built
it is a good plan to have the troughs
level and so arranged that the feed can
be poured into their entire length from
the outside. This insures more equal
distribution of the feed and enables each
animal to secure its share Good, hard
oak, by the way, is an admirable ma
terial for the troughs.
