The American Humane association presents
the following suggestions relative to the care
OF animals during the heated term:
Provide water-fresh, pure water. Think,
reader, how you are refreshed by drink of
cool water on hot day. The lower animals
are equally In need of the means of quench-
ing thirst
The active dog requires drink frequently
during the hot day, as does also the cat and
a dish OF fresh water should stand where they
can have access to it. Undoubtedly many a
dog is driven to madness through a lack of
water and the testimony is that hydrophobia
Is almost unknown in those localities where
dogs can drink when they wish.
Every city, village and country town should
be literally supplied with drinking fountains
for animals, and they should be so construct.
cd that even the smallest can drink from
them. No gift 10 a people confers greater
pleasure than fountain, and that person who
turns aside q stream from the field and gives
watering.trough to the roadside, or provides
fountain at which man and beast can drink
pure water, Is truly public benefactor.
Give the horse frequent opportunity to
quenoh thirst at times when not too much
ver-heated, and before eating. To drink
freely Immediately after eating prevents ia.
vorable digestion of food.
Provide shade. How instinctively we seek
the shadow when the sun is pouring its hot
rays on the dry and parching earth. II the
pasture is not provided with shade trees, in a
convenient locality set four, six or eight sup
ports, across which place straw or grass, and
thus, In brief time and with little labor
make shade in which animals can rest from
the neat OF the sun, to the great comfort OF
themselves and benefit to their owners.
Remove the harness from the horses on a
hot day whenever you desire to give them a
full, free rest, and once during the day, pref
erAbly at night, q thorough currying and
grooming will not only give rest, but will dc

Care Of TooIs,

An Illinois correspondent Of the Rural New
Yorker tells how he keeps his tools clean and
bright, as follows;
at is good advice to tell us to keep the
tools sharp, but we must keep them clean as
we'll. am a great hand for keeping my tools
bright. 1 hate the sight Of rust, and as a
consequence, my workmen say that work at
my place is very easy. l keep an iron kettle
within a few feet of my tool house. and ev-
cry workman is expected to wash his tools
after using them. They are then dipped into
box of powdered slaked lime, and then hung
up. Large tools, like plows, are washed and
then have lime busted over them. They keep
bright aud clean till wanted. have had q
shovel in use since 1881 1t is now as bright
as when it came from the maker. Farmers
might save hundreds OF dollars by taking care
Of their tools properly. One spring l saw
two strong men, with pick and crowbsr, dig
ging pillow out of ground where it had been
frozen in during the winter In this township
there are thousands of dollars worth of ma.
chinery Just eaten worthless by rust It all
might have been saved by proper care There
should be good tool house on every farm. "

Cold storage for domestic purposes may be
easily and inexpensively secured in an ordna
ry ice house, we'll adapted to the wants OF the
ordinary farmer A square space or channel
eight by ten feet in dimensions, and about
six feet high, with double walls, afordng
dead air space between for sawdust, is large
enough. This is to be constructed inside Of
the ice house and the ice packed all around it
There must be passage way from the outside
door to the door of the cold chamber Ev-
cry ice house can just as well as not be fitted
with such refrigerator room. 1t will keep
meats, fruits, eggs, butter, and all perishable
goods indefinitely. We have seen such re-
friRerators in which strawberries we're kept
for six weeks raspberries and backberries
fully as long, Astrachan apples until spring,
and Bartlett pears until Christmas. Fruits
may be thus preserved so az to have a supply
all the year, and thus much OF the conven
fence and comfort Of summer in winter and

Common Sense about the OIeOmarga-
rine Law.

Common sense about the OIeOmarga.
rine Law.
United States Senator Warner Miller Of
New York, the earnest friend and advocate
of the oleomargsrine law, says that the no.
ton that the bill was emascuated in the
Senate or materially weakened in any way is
without foundation. While the farmers had
fixed on five-cent tax and while he worked
to secure it, still the rate of tax was not the
important feature of the bill The evil
sought TO be cured was the practice of put
ting on the market, under the guise and in
the name of butter variety of frau lulent
limitations. The machinery devised to pre-
vent this, Senator Miller says, is retained in
all its vigor in the bill as it became a law.
Oleomargarine and all limitations of butter
must henceforth be put up in stamped and
branded packages and must stand on their
own merits. The penalties for violation are
severe, and the machinery for the detection
Of evasion and for the enforcement of the
law is as near perfection as the experience OF
the internal revenue department could in.
vent.
One incidental but very important result
of the passage of the act, he says, will be
the aid it will furnish TO state authorities to
carry out their own laws on the subject
Heretofore, however stringent the state Law
may have been, it has been extremely diff
cult, often impossible to execute it, by res
son Of the fact that limitations of butter made
in neighboring states could come across the
border unchallenged, and there was no way
except by chemical analysis-both expensive
and slow-to detect fraud.
Under the new law the agents of the in
ternal revenue bureau will see to it that the
limitations of butter are stamped and branded
for what they are, and the tax of two cents
while not all that was desired, is amply suffi
cient to accomplish the purpose.

Cows muss Have Good water

Considering the fact that a large part (s7
per cent of even the best milk is water, the
necessity for giving COWS in milk only the
best water will be understood. Bad water
will make bad milk, no matter what the other
food may be, and bad milk will make bad
butter, no matter how it is handled. At this
season the brooks and ponds afford poor
supply of water, or rather afford supply of
poor water not fit for cows to drink. Spring
or pure we'll water is the best and only kind
fit for COWS during the dog days. 1t is not
necessary or even desirable that the water be
very cold, but it is of the very first import
ance that it be pure and wholesome

Though the Jerseys we're more numerous
than any other breed Of cattle at the Royal
agricultural show of England, and all the
breeds that are here supposed to have espeo-
isl merit for the dairy were represented, a
Shorthorn COW took the first premium in the
dairy class, and red poled heifer the sec
ond. The quantity and quality of milk in
each case we're tested The Shorthorn gave
little over 1S quarts of milk per day, of
which ~. II per cent was composed of solids.
The red polled heifer gave 10 quarts per day,
Of which the solid part was 70 SO per cent.
An English writer, reporting the fair for the
Rural, says; TN America you have been
breeding shorthorps almost exclusively for
beef, 80 that the COWS have, to great ex-
tent lost their great capacity for milk pro-
duction but here they have been always
bred for milk as we'll as beef, and have Civ
en- equal satisfaction in both lines"
