The animal should in no case be slaught'
cred until it is clear that it is a healthy,
vigorous one, and this may be determined
usually soon after birth.
A correspondent of the Rural H0mt
states that he tested several methods oil
keeping milk. Taking cool milk and
also that fresh from the COW Qukewarml,
he sealed them both in jars and kept the
jars over night in spring water. He
found that the milk which was sealed
up when warm and fresh kept longer
and was of better quality. He believes
milk should be rapidly cooled, but sealed
from contact with the surrounding air.
In cultivating corn the land should be
thrown in ridges as little as possible.
The corn roots before this time run to
the middle of the spaces between the
rows. They may be cut off without in
jury if the land is rich and moist, as they
will soon reproduce themselves fivefold
for every one that is severed. But the
center of the row cannot be scraped bare
of loose earth without damage, and a
further injury results when this loose
earth is thrown against the stalk.
1t is said by some old farmers that t.
milk on the ground rather than into a
pail is an infallible way to dry up COW,
however great her flow of milk. 1t
scarcely seems possible that it should
make any difference in the cows secre-
ton of milk where it goes to after it
leaves her tea.s. Probably the effect of
milking on the ground is mainly, if not
wholly, due to the fact that in such
milking the bag is never drained clean.
That alone will dry up any cow.
1t is generally found that cow kept
by herself will give better results than
the same COW in herd with others.
The single COW will be better fed, and a
more important point, so far as butter
making is concerned, will be the fact
that nearly all the butter will be got
from cream, which is never the case when
the milk and cream from herd of COWS
are mixed before churning. Owing to
difference in size of the butter globules
the milk from COWS varies greatly in the
time required to bring the butter.
Professor Cook says that a carbolic
soap wash has with him proved very
etfectual preventive of radish maggots
and apple tree borers. His formula Is
as follows: To two quarts of soap
added two gallons of water; this was
then heated to a boiling temperature,
when one pint of carbolic acid Gn crude
state) was added. This mixture is then
set away in barrel, or other vessel, and
is ready for use as occasion may require.
One part of this liquid is then mixed
with fifty parts of water, and the plants
sprinkled or trees washed with it.

1t was in the north of China that W.
first saw the thrashing-hoor of the Eas
and OF the Bible, says correspondent
When we were travelling to some out
stations in Mantchuria, the road bounded
on both sides by endless fields of gigantic
millet, there would come a farmers
house and farm-yard, of a small hamlet
and on the skirt of it, the trodden spot
of ground hard and smooth as stone.
But it was not till some weeks later, az
we were jourDeying slowly up to Pekin,
and the harvest was now gathered, that
we saw it in use. The grain was laid on
The floor, and pair of oxen were driven
leisurely over the ears, treading out the
corn.
Another form of thrashing was the
stone roller, which was drawn over the
ears by oxen or mules; and there was
another still, where a flat board fur.
nished with some projections, was drawn
in the same way, the driver or children,
perhaps, sitting on the board to lend il
additional weight. Sometimes the grain
was piled up in large heap in the center
Of the floor, unsifted, and then men with
the wlnnowing shovel the Bible FAM
would toss the grain into the air, or else
into fiat basket, from which the mar
who held it flung up the corn, and the
wind carrying the chaff away filled the
air with dust.
One Bible phrase after another was re.
called to us. 1t was easy to see how the
Philistines could rob the thrashing floors
at Keilah, those open spaces in the field
on which the absence of any dread OF
rain induced the farmers to pile up theil
wealth Of grain; or how the open floor,
open to the sky and smooth, became the
natural place to test the dew upon Gid
cons fleece, while all the rest of the
ground was dry; or how, when the two
kings, Ahab, OF Israel, and Jehoshaphat
Of Judah, summoned the prophet, the
place to set the royal thrones was on the
smooth and empty thrashing floor just
before the gate of Samaria; or how NJ
better place than this could be found or
which to build the altar that David raised
when he had purchased the site of the
temple from Araunah, the Jebusite, ant
found in the thrashing instrumental
wooden fans and boards and oxen pole'
the wood for the sacrifice. 1t would
be easy for the oxen to stop in the mids
of the abundance they were treading on
and eat; and the merciful Jewish Law
provided that they should eat if they
would; there should be no muzzling O
them; "thou shalt not muzzie the O,
when he treadeth on the corn"

Con corning Cream.

D. B. Wooster, of Vermont, says in
the New York Tribune: If the dairy
man raises cream in the old way (open
setting) taking twenty-four to thirty-six
hours, all the yeast born with the milk
and what it gets from the air unite
readily and makes the cream ready to
churn as soon as it is taken from the
milk. In deep or cold setting the case
is different. The yeast native 10 the
milk is Quoted or made imperative for
a time by cold, and is only, if at all,
brought into action by warmth. This
vii make but little difference if the
dairyman subjects cream to the action
of the air. 1t makes some difference
what kind of deep setting is used about
the acidity necessary for churning, and
the flavor of butter. If milk is sub
merged in water the milk, so to speak,
breathes damp atmosphere which appar-
emily toughens the envelopes that holds
the cream. Sweet milk can be chuIned,
but experience has proved that the but
ter is not so good favored and the keep
ing quality is lacking-hence the neces-
Oity for souring cream, which makes the
envelopes which hold the cream more
easily broken. In cold setting, where
free ventilation of the milk is given,
acsidity is necessary. In my dairy ar
rangemcnt l raise the cream in two
hours; | then set it in warm place,
being careful, not too warm, above
SiXty-hve degrees. l stir in the cool
cream added morning and evening, and
when have sufficient quantity to churn
the whole mass is about the thickness
of paste.

The Pain or Being Hung.

cdr. Taylor states that death from
hanging appears to take place very rap.
idly, and without causing any suffering
10 the person. Professor Tidy, also,
speaks OF the painless nature of death
from hanging; while Professor Haugh-
ton, in his paper read before the surgical
society of Dublin, says that 1.-THE old
system of taking a conyict's life by suf-
location is inhumanly painful, unneces-
iarily prolonged, and revolving to those
whose duty il is to be present. Those
who speak of the painless nature of
ieath by strangulation arrive at thiS
conclusion from the fact that many cases
Of suicide are not completely suspended,
and that If they wished they could
easily relieve the construction by assum
ing the erect posture, and in other cases
of recovery from attempted suicide by
hanging there is no recollection of any
suffering. 1t should be remembered,
however, that there is a great difference
between the mental attitude of the sui.
eide and one who is about to suffer the
extreme penalty OF the law. In the
former case he is regardless, and per-
haps also not very sensitive, of little
suffering, while in the latter every nerve
is braced up to resist the inevitable re.
suit. Moreover, in those cases of recov.
cry the loss of recollection of suffering
does not prove that there was none. 1t
might almost as we'll be said that, be-
cause in many cases of recovery from
meningitis there was no remembrance of
any suffering, therefore there was none.
No doubt, the pain in hanging can under
no circumstances be very acute, yet
when we see culprit heaving his chest
and almost raising the whole body in
his struggles for breath we must con-
clude that there is at least considera-
bic amount of mental torture. Popular

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Hays for Cranes,

One of the most valuable discoveries
In grape culture is the improvement in
quality of the fruit and its safety from
blight, mildew. birds, and insects by in
closing the lunches in bags. 1t is also
safeguard against late frosts. The sum
mer of 1884 demonstrated beyond all
doubt the great value of bagging outdoor
grapes. The early summer was marked
by a succession of cold, almost frosty,
nights, when the young grapes were max
ing their first swelling. and grapes not
severed with paper bags rotted badly,
while those thus protected did not rot at
all. Some are deferred from bagging
their grapes from the impression that it
IS very expensive and troublesome Job,
whereas it is comparatively cheap and
easy. The important point is to put the
bags over the clusters as soon as they are
set and before any injury has been done.
Get the ordinary grocers' bags, which
can be bought at very low rates in
quantity; slip the bag over the cluster
and lap the corners over around the stems,
insert pin to secure them, clip corner
Of the bottom to let out the rain, and
the job is done. Any one who tries bag
ging grapes will be slow to abandon the
practice, even if it were much more
troublesome and expensive -New York

One of the bad effects of late cutting
Of grass is that it allows many weed
seeds to ripen. These go into the hay,
IRE often undigested by stock, and so
are carried in the manure all over the
farm. 1t is a hard place for a farmer
when he dare not draw out ali his ma
nure promptly, because of fear that
weeds will offset the advantages of fer
tilization. Yet this is the position in
which many farmers place themselves.
The remedy is to cut hay early enough
to escape all weeds, and for other feed
give corn fodder or Hungarian grass cut
before its seeds mature, as this in hoed
crops is a bad weed.
In land that is very foul some weeds
will remain in the hill despite the most
careful cultivation. The small annual
weeds In potato fields may be covered
up sufficiently to be destroyed without
injuring the potatoes. If done in dry
time the potatoes seemed to be all the
better for the operation, emerging from
their covering in day or two with
greater vigor than ever. But weeds in
corn hills cannot be covered up without
some injury to the corn, and the first
crop of weeds should be removed by
hand. If the field is narrowed Just be-
fore the corn comes up most of the small
weeds will be destroyed and the corn
will not be injured.
The pasture lot is apt to be the most
neglected of any part of the farm, and
after a few years 1t will often become
foul with noXious weeds. The idea of
pasturing is to escape the labor of pro
viding for stock by forcing animals to
secure it for themselves. In thus escap-
ing work farmer is very apt to make
extra labor for himself hereafter. AT
midsummer nearly all pastures will have
their finer grasses eaten close, while the
coarser grasses and weeds will be un.
touched. All coarse grass, equally with
weeds, should be cut down, when new
and better growth of grass will spring
up, which will be relished by stocl
during the season of hot, dry weathe
that comes in July and August

The following rhymes were written by

A Root as Substitute for the Weed.

"Good demand for licorice root9" said
the drug clerk, in response to Herald
inquiry; Eyes, indeed, especially in sum
mer. In warm weather so many people
swear off smoking or chewing tobacco
and buy licorice root for substitute.
It's splendid thing for that purpose,
too. Smoking or chewing tobacco is
merely the habit of having something ia
the mouth. That is all it amounts to-
and the licorice root does just as well as
tobacco for nine men out of of ten. The
root is healthy, assisting digestion, and
is very good for hay fever, catarrh OF
bronchitis. IL is right pleasant, too, and
have known men who have started
chewing it because they wanted to quit
on tobacco to become chaonic users OF
the root. They merely changed one
habit for another, but as rule mar
will chew the root week or so and ther
tire of it. BY that time he is wearied
from the tobacco or else goes back to it,
