FAaN Norrs Running the cows may

between the milkings.
Cows ought to be MIXED with great
regularity for best results.
IL you want to raise stunts" keep the
calves Ia the patch with the pigs.
A small quantity of bad milk will
spoil whole mass of cheese at the fac
tory.
A COW is milk producing machine
and an exceedingly complicated and sem
sitive one at that.
A tablespoonful of clear lime water or
a raw egg put in the milk at every feed
will cure scours In calves.
Heating curd too suddenly causes the
pores to contract so that the whey and
gas are not sufficiently liberated.
You cannot make good butter from
por feed any more than you can make
silk purse out of a sOw's ear.
Make your butter aud cheese as good
rs possible. and then make the same
effort to sell them to the best advantage.
In feeding you want TO notice that
some animals are more dainty as TO their
choice than others. Their likes should
be respected.
1t is said that there is not an establish
ed rule of agriculture which there is not
almost AS much experience to disprOve
as TO confirm.
A layer of cotton batting round
hill of any plant which is apt to be in-
Tested with creeping insects, will deter
them from approaching; they do not
like to get tangled in it.
At the approach Of winter all the poor
cows, old horses and otherwise deprecia-
ted stock should be disposed Of. They
cost ne much 10 winter as stock that will
increase in value, besides the danger OF
losses i'm wintering.
There has been constant decrease in
the acreage OF wheat in Ireland for
many years. Since 1881 il has decreased
from l53, 900 acres to 1000, or less than
half what was sown three years ago.
Other u aims are also falling of.
The injury that the crow does to corn,
by pulling it up is not generally great,
and can easily be guarded against. A
more serious indictment is found in the
fac. that the crow is the great enemy of
insect destroying birds, whose nests it
robs and whose young it kills. The
squirrel is also open to the same charge.
TO insure good catch of timothy seed
1t should be sOwn in the fall with wheat
or other winter grain. 1t is rather better
to sow few weeks after wheat seeding
else it might get growth enough TO in
jure the grain crop the subsequent sea-
son. If clover is desired the seed should
not be sown until spring, as young clo-
yer Is very tender and will all be winter
killed.
With whatever progress oleomarga-
rine has made i'm the land it has not de-
tracted from the value of mich cows.
Never In the history of our country
have hrst-class milch cows sold higher
than the present year.
Good dairy salt is hard to find. Butter
will not dissolve crystal much larger
than pip head. Roll the salt before
using and don't kill the taste OF the
butter by adding too much. If there
are ants i'm the cellar don't kill them
with carbolic acid for the smell will
faint the butter.
LEMON SAUCE.-The juice of large
lemon, one tablespoonful Of corn-fiour,
Nh ounce Of butter, a wineglsss full of
sherry, and a gill Of water. Mix the
corn-four smoothly with water; add
the sugar, lemon juice and butter. Beat
the yolks of three eggs and mix them
gradually with the rest. Let it come to
just within boiling point. If it boils it
it will curdle, and the sauce be spoilt.
Pour it over the pudding just before
serving. II the plum pudding is cOnsid-
cred the king of pudlings, certainly
this pudding las claim to the title of
queen.
To CLEAN WNpows.-To clean win
dows, wash with luke-warm water, rub
with any clean, dry cloth to take off the
first dampness, then finish with piece
OF channels. A large one can be pur-
chased for fifty cents, and it will last
lifetime and save so much hard work.
Whom soiled, wash In soap suds, rinse
well and dry, then rub 1t in the hands
to make it soft. For silver it is unequal
ed. Also wiring it in tepid water, and
use it to rub off the finger marks on the
piano, then rub with dry one.
DEvILED CRAB OR FIsH.-Take cooked
crabs, Holsters or fish, and pick it very
fine, make mayonaise salad dressing
with plenty of mustard and vinegar and
cayenne pepper, and mix with fish /; also
pinch Of thyme, and very fine. chopped
onion, and season with Worcestershire
sauce; I'll your shells or crab shells
with the fish; then put cracker or bread
crumbs on top, with small pieces of
butter, and bake 1t in hot oven: if the
fish 10 all dry, pour OH somc milk before
baking.
