YArm Notes.

W. M. Singerly, the prosperous
owner and editor of the Philadelphia
Record, cultivates a COW which gives
eighty one pounds of milk day.
Jere Allis Of Isinours, Mimi, writes
the Breeders Gazetta that his herd of
Holsteins came through the winter in
excellent form. Since last June, 1884,
Mr.. Allis' COW Fatanitza, (2,720, not
yet six years old, has given 1l;1O4
pounds of milk. She is now milking
forty pounds a day.
Mr.. Charles n. Erwin, Painted Post.
N. Y, is credited with the accidental
discovery of what his successful expert
ence leads him to regard as a Remedy
for Cabbage Worms-namely, sprink-
ling them during the heat of sunny
day with water as near ice.cold as can be
procured. This caused the green pests
to "let go, curl up, roll to the ground
and die, " while the plants looked all the
tresber for the application.
In setting out raspberry plants do not
bury too deeply; red varieties as rule
are more particular in this respect than
the blackcaps, but care must be taken
with all kinds. Do not delay the oper-
alton until growth begins as IN such
cases the plants that if not killed out
right inger along very unsatisfactory,
and an entire season is lost in conse-
quence. Touch the novelties lightly,
and let the main crop consist of such
sterling kinds as Cuthbert for red,
Gregg for black, and perhaps Skaters
Colossal for purple.
Pythagoras forbade his disciples eat
ing beans, the ancient historian tells
us. Not so restrictive as to regimen,
however, are some of the gastronomic
reformers of modern times. Halls
Journal of Health advocates their more
general use. as being more wholesome,
nutritious and economical than any
other single article Of food in the world,
and says "a quart of beans, costing 10
cents, will furnish family of five per-
sons with food for day." Concerning
tastes there should be no disputing.
But we do hope our esteemed cotem-
porary will not say anything more about
that just now. Those beans are al
ready being served on many tables,
three or four times a week, and there
may be too much economy practiced in
this particular.

The Deadly Stop Drain.

From country house notable for
general neatness a hired girl was taken
home ill of typhoid. Then hired man
left and had run of "sIow fever; at.
forwards little girl "came down" with
the same disease. Soon the mother was
dangerously sick, and finally "aggravat-
ed erysipelas broke out in the face of
the kitchen servant" Here was series
of zymotic attacks. Why? A Maine
Farmer correspondent answers, with
statement that eliminates the mystery
of the dispensation:
"The only thing in this household
which seemed to be at fault was the dis
posal of the kitchen slops. They were
carried from the sink outside the house
through q leaden pipe, and this
discharged into the end of u bored
aqueduct log, buried in the earth
and extending about rod from the
house. This short log drain would soon
be INSTRUCTED, and then the end next
the house would discharge its danger
GUS contents into the loose stones which
were filled in on that side of the kitchen,
and thence under the house and into
the cellar; and the same leaden pipe
which carried the water downward,
brought the sickening gases upward. 1"
One "better way, "safe. if not so "con-
venient," is by use of slop- pals kept
clean and the contents distributed over
the surface soil at various points some
distance from the house. An enlarge
ment of this simple and satisfactory
system is favorably mentioned by the
Iowa Board of Health:
"A neighbor has kerosene barrel
hung on a pair of old buggy wheels, so
that it can easily be inverted: he lets it
stand near the kitchen, where all kitch-
en- and chamber Stops can be thrown in
it, and when half full he easily wheels
it on his garden and empties it,"

Under this caption an old physician writes to
Cincinnati Medical Journal, that in view of
the fact that people living at distance from
cities are frequently obliged to resort to cough
mixtures already put up for use, they should
provide themselves with only such remedies as
narcotics; thus avoiding not only danger. but
even fatal results. He recommends the re-

Pay Cash for Goods.

From the Iowa Homestead.
The farmers in former years had
great complaints against the merchants
on account of excessive charges for
goods. Grange stores were the rage,
and the remembrance of them is not
now very pleasant
There was much better way, and
the farmers see it now. That was to
pay cash. For cash is great leveler
of prices. The merchant was glad to
come down like little man when his
eyes caught the CLEAN of gold. In
State like Iowa there ought to be no
such thing as credit at tho store for the
farmer. There is no class of men the
merchant can credit moro safely. Whist
we mean is, the farmer should not
ask it; in fact he can not afford to ask
it. For credit means higher price,
price to cover interest and
risk, and the good farmer who asks
credit simply asks to share the losses
of the merchant on poor customers. and
he always does if. So that the epe

A water poultice for the throat may
be made as follows: Take four thick
nesses of old cotton cloth, three or four
inches wide, and long enough to extend
from ear to ear. Dip it in water, hot
or cold, as the throat may require it..
Over these folds of cotton cloth apply a
layer of cotton batting, an inch in thick
ness, and long and wide enough to COW

Apply to the throat, and keep in place
by bandage. This poultice, if cold,
will induce local sweating, that will
