To Purify Drinking Water.

Professor Austen and WILDER, az
ter the most elaborate experiments,
consider it establ lshed that by the
addition of two grains Of alum to
the gallon, or half an onnce to the
100 gallons, water can be clarified
by standing, and that neither taste
nor physiological properties will
be impaired to it by this treatment
By increasing the amount of alum,
the time required for the separation
and settling can be diminished, and
rice Uersa, by diminishing the
amount of alum added, greater
time will be required for the clarif-
cation. The solution If alum is
made as follows: Dissolve half an
ounce of alum in a cup of boiling
water, and, when it is all dissolved,
pour into quart measure and bill
to quart with cold water. This
solution should be kept in u bottle
labeled tAlum.) Fifty-fonr drops
of this solution contain twO.thlrd
grains of alum, which is the amount
to be added to one gallon of water.
The Old-fashiOned teaspoon holds
about forty drops; the new spoons,
however, hold about seventy drops.
Hence, a modern teaspoon, scant
full, will be about the right amount
to add to every gallon OF water to
he filtered. f

1t is a common complaint that

TO find life sweeter if less highly

APPLYING FERTILIZERS TO CORN.

1t is quite reasonable to suppose
that plants can be gorged with food
as animals may be, and that injury
may result from it. This is quite
true as regards corn. The corn
plant has a long season of active
growth. 1t requires about one
hundred days for it's maturity. If
all the food which is required to
mature the plant is added to the
soil in a soluble and available con-
dition at the planting, a large
quantity may be lost before the
plant can utilize it. Soluble fertil-
izers diffuse themselves in a moist
soil with great rapidlty, and are
Quickly carried off by the drainage
water into the suSsoil. Sir j. b.
Lawes has noticed the nitric acid
of nitrate of soda, which has been
applied to the surface soil, escap-
inc in the water flowing from the
drains, in forty.eight hours after
the application. If then, six hun
dred pounds of this fertilizer shonld
be applied to the corn crop before
the sowing of the seed, it will be-
gin to be lost before a single root
has been formed to arrest escape.
This fact is given only as an in.
stance of how fertilizers may be
lost by misapplication. At tn Q
best. an excess of fertilizing ma
terial given to corn in its early
stages. forces a rank growth OF
stalk, and the plant food is ex-
bausted before it can be converted
into grain, which is the most yalu-
able part of the crop. during
some years past, we have been
growing corn under a new system
of fertilizing, which is to apply the
fertilizer at intervals, as after each
time of cultivation, instead OF be-
fore and Immediately after the
planting. The effect has been to
notably increase the yield of grain,
and decrease the growth of stalk.
BY this method, eighty bush0ls Of
grain per acre have been produced,
and in growing sweet corn for sale,
fine, large, and well.flled ears are
secured. The fertilizer is busted
along the rows before the cultivator
is used, or Immediately after, and
the first shower carries it down to
the roots. The same method of APP
plying fertilizers has been used for
root crops with favorable results.

The Poultry Monthly has some
advice to give on the care ofyOung
chicks. 1t says: For the first
twenty -four hours do not give them
any food whatever, and do not
give them raw food until three OF
four weeks old, but cooked ipgre
dents, stale bread soaked, hard
hnil,d eggs, thoroughly boiled, pc.
ialoes, fine corn meal, etc. This
f.od should be gwen them eight OF
nine times a day during this term

drink 80 much the better for them.
When hey are past four weeks old
then give them cooked meats
vegetables, with some wheat
screenings.

Bitter MIIk---CauSe and Prevention.

There are several causes for bitter
milk. The most prevalent is the
presence of ragweed or other bitter
weeds in the hay. This is almost
always the case when rowen or
aftermath hay is fed, and at times
when corn fodder from a weedy
field is used. The flavor of ragweed
is so persistent that it appears in
the cream aud butter and spoils
the latter for use. This is to be
expected, because the flavor of
ragweed and other plants allied to
it is due to an essential oil, which
will naturally combine with the
cream and remain in the BUTTER
The flavor Of it also effects the but
ter in the fall from cows pasturing
10 meadows. The only remedy for
this defect is to avoid the cause.
Another cause in which all seem 10
agree is that in certain conditions
the milk of farrOw cows will be
bitter. This peculiar flavor is
perhaps caused by some change in
the character of the milk which
indicates that the secretion is not
pure, and that milking should
cease. Other opinions are to the
effect that the COW is not in good
health and the products Of some
disorder are being discharged in
the milk ; an occurrence which fire.
quently happens, and which shows
how necessary it is to guard against
any injurious use of milk of dis.
eased COWS. Cows suffering from
tuberculosis, or consumption of the
lungs, will continue to give milk
copiously, but its flavor is exceed
ingly disagreeable, and nauseouS
at times, being mawkish and bitter,
aud quite unfit for use.
1t is certain that milk is made
bitter by premature decomposition
produced by the remains Of stale
milk in the crcvlces of the pans.
In all these cases the remedies or
the means of prevention are
obvious. No wooden utensil should
be used in milking or in setting
milk. Wood absorbs the milk into
its pores, and when the pail is
scalded, the milk becomes cOagulat-
ed, ferments and decomposes, and
will surely iniure the milk, by in.
fectiDg it with loaven Of putridlty
Tin pals and pans should first be
washed with cold water, then with
hot water and soap to remove the
grease, then rinsed, and finally
scalded with boiling hot water,
wiped with clean dry towels, and
afterwards placed out of doors to
air in the sunshine.

The Ohio Farmer is of the
opinion that there is no great
bonanza in feeding 60 cent corn to
fattening cattle, but 1t could be
made to pay well in combination
with other foods A question OF
great Interest to farmers is: Will
it pay to feed 60-cent corn to cattlei
With fat cattle selling at 4 cents
per pound, Mr.. Stewart found that,
feeding four pounds Of corn aud
fodder together, cut fine, with two
pounds, of linseed-meal to each
steer, the corn alone brought him
about 20 cents per bushel.
