In no case should a lawn be close
shaver the first Year after making, nor
indeed ought any to be mown more
than once a fortnight during the months
OF July and August. unless copious
supply of water is given, or the months
named be unusually moist. si'2 ~,
Too mueh emphasis cannot be given
to the Injunction to keep milk sweet in
hot weather. The infants natural
nourishment needs almost as ninch care
in summer as does the consumer Of 1t.
The best method of keeping it unchang-
ed, and therefore wholesome, is to set it
in clean, cold refrigerator as soon as it
comes into the house. When it is
needed, take the pitcher or cup into
which 1t is to be poured to the refrigera-
tor. not the milk-pan into the kitchen.
Nurses generally neglect this precau-
ton. The pan is often left in the heat
ed outer air for five, ten, fifteen minutes
thus causing the milk to turn" y In
the country, where ice is not. readily
obtainable, a really good cellar, spring
house, or dairy through which runs a
living stream of wateris the next best
thing TO a refrigerator. II none of these
are at hand. pour the milk intended for
the baby into clean stone jug, cork it
securely, tie oiled silk over the stopper,
and suspend the vessel in the WE'LL

school or other works to continue their
hatred of the farm by five hundred
hours of labor at those five hundred
churns. Then the FIVE hundred women
work the five hundred lots of butter
into five thousand little dabs, with five
hundred different favors, colored five
hundred different shades of yellow and
sold at groceries for. five hundred differ
ent prices, and yet butter making don't
pay. What is the sensible way to do
this work? Let the farmers come to-
gether and start joint stock company,
put up a factory, with a good butter
maker and two or three men to help
him, and then let these five hundred
lots of milk be brought to their factory
and be made up into first-class butt
that sells as uniform article at uni
form price, and then let these five
hundred women go to work at some
thing they know more about.-Ameri-

At an eastern bee meeting, the sub
iect of bee stings was discussed. Presi-
dent Miller said that the more we are
stung, the less susceptible we become !;
at least such is the case in the majority
of instances. Whether this stage was a
desirable one to reach he did not know.
He thought it possible that the aches
and ills, rheumatism and neuralgia
from which many bee-keepers suffered
were the effects of their system being
filled W tn bee poison. S. n. Black said
that were it necess Try that he should be
stung very much he would abandon the
business He did not wear veil, but
by washing his face and hands with
ammonia, alcohol, salt and water. or
something of that sort, he greatly
avoided the stings. Mr.. Heddon recon-
mended ammonia as an application
after the sting had been scraped (nOt
pulled) out. Mr.. Fahnestock spoke In
favor of soda, wet with saliva, as an
application Mr.. Black had found
spirits of turpentine the best of any
thing he had tried. Mr.. Hutchinson s
remedy was a tincture of plantain
leaves, prepared by covering the fresh
leaves with alcohol. allowing them to
stand until the alcohol turns dark, then
pour it off and bottle it. If severely
stung, few drops could be taken inter
nally.
