The Dairy World calls attention to the
TACT that there is a great deal of talk
about ripening cream, and an impress
sion sometimes prevails that sourness is
proof of ripeness. AS a matter of
fact, the cream from milk kept for a
certain time may be sweet or sour and
In either case may be ripened. 1t is all
a question of age.
Apples are delicious in cuStard. Make
custard of four beaten eggs, three
pints milk, one cup sugar, and little
salt. Into this stir one pint OF SteWed
sweetened and seasoned apples and
bake halt an hour in a quick oven. Or,
use five eggs excepting out the whites of
two, with which frost the topl and
brown in the oven. No sauce required.
A poultryman of this city says: I find
the following the best OF anything
ever saw tried for Group: Four ounces
best sweet oil and 20 drops carbolic acid !;
mix. shake and in ect into the nostrils
with small syringe or spring bottom
oil can, few drops to each bird once a
day, with soft food to keep the bowels
open. This cleanses, heals and disin-
fects..
The following ingredients constitute a
liniment that is said 10 be a good one
for the purposes indicated; One pint OF
alcohol and one ounce of each of the
following: Oil Of Origanum. gum CAM
phor, hemlock oil, stone oil, cedar oil
and oil of red pepper. For internal pain
take eight or ten drops in a little warm
water. For rheumatic pain put on foil
strength over the affected region. For
sore throat wet flannel cloth we'll with
the ointment and tie about the neck.
If one of the fowls, young or old,
begins to droop, pick it up, and holding
Its bill open, with a teaspoon fill its crop
with warm water. l have often saved
very sick birds in this way. On open
ing little chicks which had turned up
their toes without known reason,
found their gizzard always full of dry,
hard ground and other substances. So
adopted the warm water system.
Poultry often suffer for water, especially
little chickens, that sometimes do not
lean to drink readily.

Peach trees often attain a greater age
and size than is generally supposed. In
his address before the Pennsylvania
Horticultural Society, President StizeI

herself to corn, and she was very ugly

her, took her horns Oft close to the skin

slight and they bled less than half tea

quite gentle since. She ate corn from

Ny success in growing big youne

that calf has on milk In the first few
weeks must be kept atleast through The

Tying time, but it requires Only liberal
