"A nurseryman asserts that apple
trees which have straight and upright
tops have roots of similar character.
and that those which have low and
spreading tops have bushy roots. Even
the color and peculiar markings of the
bark of some varieties extend to the
roots. The nurseryman is therefore able
to distinguish several varieties by their
A cream pie made after this rule is
an improvement upon the old-time So
called cream pie: Make rich custard;
if possible use cream, but if not use rich
milk and some cream with it; bake this
in a puff paste; while it is baking whip
ffee-cupful of thick, sweet cream
till it is as light as can be, and when
the pie is taken from the oven put the
whipped cream on the top.-Boston
Globe.
1t requires just so much grain and
hay to maintain the animals life, and
very small quantity over that amount
will keep up the flow of milk, so that in
fact the feed it can be made to eat over
what is necessary to keep up the an
imars life and health, if of the right
kind, is turned into milk. and conse-
quently is clear gain. With this fact
before us we should give the cows a
liberal allowance of the milk-producing
foods, such rs carrots, beets, turnips,
bran, etc-Chicayo Times.
When churning keep the tempera
ture between fitty-tive and sixty-four
degrees, according as experience die
tates. Stop churning when the butter
is in granules about the size of wheat
kernels. Draw off the buttermilk and
wash in brine until the water runs off
clear, as brine coagulates the cheesy
matter. which dissolves and is then
washed out. Use none but the best
dairy salt when sailing. When packing
use tirkins, set in cool place and keep
the butter covered with brine.-Saran-
nah NeUs.
The farmer who takes pains to
make up the bed for his cow or his
horse gains many times the cost of the
labor in so doing. If all material is
passed through the cutter previous to
being used for bedding it not only adds
to the comfort of the animals, but
assists in the matter of cleanliness by
reason of its great power of absorption.
For this reason sawdust is becoming 4
favorite, as its fineness not only admits
of its being handled easily, well spread
in the stall and promptly removed, but
after having absorbed the liquid flows
of the stall, still readily mixes with the
matter in the manure heap.-M J..

KILLING CATTLE AND HOGS.
The Improved Methods Employed by Prae-
ticed Butchers.

The Improved Methods Employed by Prae-
ticed Butchers.
The killing of cattle is usually at
tended with an altogether unnecessary
degree of cruelty. Not infrequently a
number of heavy blows upon the fore
head of a beast fails to even stun it, but
every one of the blows inflicts needless
suffering. DR.. Phares relates a case
which illustrates this: can old polled
beef-animal was tied and received many
heavy blows in the face from a heavy
ak welded by athletic arms of several
parties in succession without bringing
him down. A slender, feeble man. dis
g,,sted at the awkward cruelties prac-
ticed, seized the implement and with
light blow downward and forward just
back of the head deprived the animal of
feeling and life as completely and in
stantly as though a thunderbolt had
passed through the brain. The gaping
crowd that had assembled looked in
blank amazement as if themselves
thunderstruck."
The cause of the instant death of the
animal was that the blow was struck in
the right place and in the right direc-
ton to reach the ..vital knot" which is
that bit of gray matter found where the
brain is contracted to pass from the
skull into the backbone. A slight cut,
or blow, or single electric spark
touching this causes instant death of
all parts of the animal. In some of the
larger slaughter-houses in Chicago this
medulia oblongata is reached by the
sharp point of a heavy steel lance, given
by man who walks along plank over
the heads of the cattle as they await
death in the narrow stalls. This man
seldom misses blow, so expert has he
become by much practice, but with a
single light touch of the steel puts an
instantaneous end to all sensation in the
beast.
In other houses rifle is carried by
the man on the plank over the stalls.
A bullet from this enters the brain,
tearingit way downward and instantly
destroying life in that organ. There
can be no suffering; death is as sudden
and complete as though lightning had
struck the brain. These plans have
been in common use in these houses for
wears, and have been often described in
American as well as in foreign news
papers; yet now and again come from
abroad accounts of elaborate expert
ments and inventions designed to ac-
complish what has been so long done
here easily and economically.
Killing hogs as usually done on the
farm is also a disagreeable noisy and
dirty work. A few men who think have
been in the habit of putting ritie-ball
into the brain and Immediately after
ward thrusting a knife into the heart of
the hog. the same thrust cutting the
jugular vein. There is no catching the
doomed porker by filthy hind leg and
holding the kicking victim while ear
next ten counties that there is to be
spare-rib for supper. and the free feet
throw profusion of mud and blood into
the face of the perspiring and profane
holder.-G9ca0o Tribune.
