Infants do not cry if they are well
and properly cared for. When a child
constantly cries without apparen
cause, it affords a strong presumption
that it is not well.
A tablespoonful of saltpetre just after
dropping aer calf is good for cow, tc
prevent parturient fever or swelling o.
the bag. This is the remedy prescribed
by an old farmer, who has used it thirty
years with unvarying success.
A successful fruit culturist says: Air
Stacked lime, busted over the bushes
will drive away the currant worm. Will
also drive away the squash bug and
make the vines grow. 1t is good busted
on the small fruit.
Ladies who are troubled with faint
spells or a feeling of trembling in the

Tomato soup may be made without
meat: One quart of Stewed tomatoes,
one quart of new milk, one rolled
cracker, one teaspoonful of soda, a
small bit of butter and little salt.
When the tomatoes are suffi GENTLY
cooked, add the soda, then the cracker.
butter and salt. Heat the milk in a
saucepan, and pour into kettle, and
as soon as it boils remove from the fire
and serve at once.
The small streams which otter flow
through farms are almost invaluable
sources of fertility, if the mud which
accumulates in them is every wear
cleaned out and spread upon the land.
All the leaves, together with the fine
mould from cultivated fields, find a
9dgement in the beds of these streams.
Several loads of manure as valuable IS
that made in stables may thus be
secured every year.
The rubber rings used to assist in
keeping the air from fruit cans some
times become so dry and brittle as to be
almost useless. Thew can be restored
to normal condition; usually by letting
them lie in water into which has been
put little ammonia. Mix in the pro-
portion one part ammonia and two
parts water. Sometimes they do not
need to lie in this more than five
minutes; but frequently half hour is
needed to restore their elasticity.
Mumps are known as the somewhat
hard and sensitive swelling of the
parotid gland in front of and below the
ear, on one or both sides. 1t is attend

especially any firm or hard food. It
passes off in three or four days. and is
rarely dangerous, with ordinary care.
but may sometimes fall upon the brain,
producing delirium, or if the patient is |
chilled, may fall upon other parts, pro- |
ducing swellings and other mischief.
1t is absolutely necessary that the
chicks be free from lice. No chick can |
thrive, no matter how well fed. and |
cared for otherwise, while these pests |
prey upon them and suck the life blood |
from their bodies. A thorough busting |
with insect powder twice a week will |
keep these vermins at bay, and while it |
requires some time and trouble, you will |
find it pays handsomely in the long run. |
In addition to this, thoroughly clean
and whltewash the roosting places Of |
ten, and as the chicks develop and grow |
larger it will be well to provide larger |
and more comfortable quarters, so that |
when they are on the roosts or floor of |
the coop they will have plenty of room.

Waldo Brown, In the New York Tri-
bune, says: THE farmer who wishes
to make the. greatest gain and profit in
cattle breeding will find it, 1 think. by |
grass and gram feeding. In
corresponding with some large cattle
feeders of Illinois, l have learned that
IN no other way can SO large and uni
form gain be had. Some facts connected |
with this are worthy of notice: First,
that 1t lakes but about half as much
corn to fatten an animal when on good
pasture as when on dry feed, one peck
Of corn day giving as good results as
half bushel in cold winter weather;
second, cattle on grass are in no danger
OF oyereating corn, so as to produce
founder or Indigestion, and as there are
no winter storms to contend with the
gain is uniform; Third. pasture suffi-
Gent for ten cattle without grain will
furnish grass for twenty if fed what
corn they will eat; fourth, the profit On
cattle will be rather from improving the
grade, so as to get an advance in price.
than rom what's added to their weight,
and grass and grain together will make
the finest cattle, which will bring the
best prices"
