One OF our exchanges says: sit

how good and rich mixer COW
may be it is unreasonable to expect
the quantity and richness of the pro-

this is the whole secret Of thesmilker's
success, sin a nutshell"
Those who have never raised sugar

would do well to try them. if only SIS
an experiment. Soil enriched by
quantities of we'll rotted manure, and

The peach borer lis one of Ishe =
hictions Utah frHit is now troubled

ed by using pint of soft soap to each

contact with the main roots of the
tree, by which it is absorbed without
hsrrning it. But it is sure death TO
the borer, and will save the peaches.

Injection OF disease is most gener-

ing sick persons swallow their saliva or
spittle. The breathing draws the in.
lection into the mouth, infeCts the sal
iva, which when swallowed infeots
the stomach, and 20 the rest of the
body. The remedy therefore is not
to swallow the saliva on such occa-
sions, but t, take first opportunity to
spit it out, This observed, with the
old rule of avoiding visits to the sick
room with an empty or fasting
stomach, will act as general preser-
Vative against disease.

safe and reliable slayer OF certain
domestic insect pests. It is now being
used to kill the lice on colts and calves;

much easier to handle than the ordin-
ary dip. it ia also much safer than
arsenical preparations. The best
time to use it On sheep is after they
are shorn and before the lambs are
permitted to run with the mothers.
