Dairyipg on Small Farms.

Dairying and pasturing have been so
long considered as one and the same occu-
patton that but few farmers will venture
to engage in the former without first de-
voting large portion of the farm to grass
upon which the cows may be allowed to
Craze during the day. When this method
is changed for that of feeding at the barn
yard, it is termed "soiling" the cows.
Even those who do not believe soiling can
be done profitably, voluntarily practice
the soiling method to certain extent in
the winter season, for at that time the
snow covers the pasture ground and COM
pels the dalryman to prepare the food for
the cows and give them his attention in the
barn-yard. The principal objection to
soiling is that it requires a large
outlay for extra labor, yet there is
as much profit derived from winter dairy
ing as there is during the summer. The
real benefit is in the saving of manure,
which is the most important occupation
on the farm, and the expense of providing
long fences is done away with Practical
experiments show that by the aid of the
manure saved when soiling sufficiency of
green food can be grown on small plat to
feed quite number of cows, as well as to
provide a better variety of food and secure
greater yields of milk and butter. Pro-
fessor Stewart, in his book on feeding ami
mails, mentions how he fed four horses and
seven cows for fifteen days on the food
grown upon forty rods of ground and he
has estimated that forty rods of ground
will produce enough to equal the summer
feeding of one COW, but sets aside half an
acre in clover as the allowance for a COW
during the summer. This result is not the
experiment of single season, but the work
Of fourteen years devoted to soiling, by
which method the cows give twenty per
cent. more milk than when kept on pas
ture; and rye, clover, orchard grass, timo-
thy, green oats and fodder corn, with
ground grain when required, compose the
daily diet. The system is one that per-
mits the gradual accumulation of wealth
in the annual increased fertility of the soil,
and, though extra labor may be necessary,
yet it is more effectual in operation, as it is
not distributed over large space, conse-
quently there is economizing in hauling
loads to great distances over the fields.
Selling may not be profitable to those who
have plenty of pasture and large tracts of
land, but it will enable those having linn
tied areas to engage in dairying, when, by
the proper application of labor, they NAV
realize larger profits than those who de-
vote more land to dairying, but adhere to
the pasturage system.-Philadelphid Rec

ance Of the red or inhammatory areola,
which on the ninth day surrounds the YES

done with clean needle, be careful not to
draw blood, and use no lymph or virus
that is not perfectly clear and transparent
when it exudes from the arm. If any
blood should be drawn, wipe it carefully
away before using the lymph, as on no ac-
count must blood be introduced with pure
vaccine virus into the system of your pa
tient. A most important point, upon
which we strenuously insist, is that the
vaccinating instrument, no matter what it
is, is perfectly and undoubtedly clean; to
be sure wash it in fresh and pure water be-
fore using, and see that it is rewashed be-
fore using it on second person. More Sc

II, from neglect or delay in enforcing

services suspended and public assemblages
of people, as at theaters, shows, circuses,

NEVER USE THE scAB

For vaccinating purposes, except under
the most exceptional circumstances to its
use may be attributed those cases of sore
arms, poisoned blood and unhealthy Ill
GERS, which anti-vaccinators take such de-
light in quoting as their strongest argu-
ment against the precious gift of the i'm
mortal Jenner.
If the necessity arises that the scab
must be used, see that it looks clean, is
well umbilicated, and the edges semi
transparent. Do not use the center, but
only the outer border of the crust. The
portion to be used ought to be thoroughly
softened in drop or two of water, and
then used in the same manner as lymph.
1t would be prudent to ascertain the con-
dition of the child from whom the scab
was taken before using it, and if not in
perfect health, reject it. Caution cannot
be too strictly observed when vaccinating
from this source.

pERIop on INcunATIoN.

In smallpox there is always latency,
called the period of incubation, during
which certain processes are going on pre-
paratory to the development of disease.
This period may be stated to be about ten
to twelve days for the beginning of the
fever, and fourteen days for that of the
eruption. In the vaccine disease the virus
begins to take on the fourth day, and with
bovine virus on the fifth or sixth day, and
such is the protective power of the vaccine
virus that if it be inserted even after ex-
posl1re to smallpox its shorter incubative
stage enables it TO anticipate the other,
and if it do not altogether prevent it, it
induces such deviation from its regular
course as to essentially modify it and de
prive it of its greatest danger. Hence the
Importance of immediate vaccination after
ext osure to smallpox.

HOW TO USE DIsINFEcTANTs.

|. In the sick room the most available
agents are fresh air and cleanliness. The
clothing, towels, bed linen, ETC., should, on
removal from the patient, be placed in a
tub of the zinc solution, boiling hot if pos.
sible. All discharges from the patient
should either be received in vessels con.
tanning the copperas or corrosive subli-
mate solution, or if this is impracticable
! should be covered with the solution. I'm
necessary furniture, especially that which
is stuffed, carpets and hangings, should be
removed from the room at the outset il
possible; otherwise they should remain
| for fumigation and treatment.
2. Fumigation with sulphur is the only
practical method of disinfecting the house
For this purpose the rooms to be disin-
fected must be vacated Heavy clothing,
blankets, bedding, and other articles which
cannot be treated with the zinc solution,
should be opened and exposed during fIl-
mIgation, as directed below: Close the
rooms as tightly as possible, stopping up
every crevice and keyhole; place the sui
phur in iron pans supported upon bricks
| placed in washtubs containing a little
water; set it on fire with alcohol or kero-
sene sprinkled upon it, and allow the
room to remain closed twenty-four hours
| For a room ten feet square at least two
pounds of sulphur will be required for
larger rooms proportionately larger guam
| titles will be necessary.
8. Premises, cellars, yards. stables, gut
tiers, privies, cesspools. water-closets, sew.
ers, drains, should be literally treated with
the copperas solution; it Is cheap and
effective. The copperas solution may be
easily prepared by hanging basket con.
tanning about sixty pounds of copperas in
a barrel of water.
4. Body and Bed-clothing.-Itis best to
burn all articles which have been in con-
tact with persons sick of infectious or con.
tagious diseases. Articles too valuable tc
be destroyed should be treated as follows
| Cotton, linen, fannels, blankets, etc.
should be treated with the boiling hot
zinc solution; introduce piece by piece
secure thorough wetting, and boil for hal
an hour. Furs, silks, heavy wooden cloth
ing, bed-covers and beds, which cannot b,
thus treated with the zinc solution, should
be hung in the room during fImigation
their surfaces fully exposed and thei
pockets turned inside out; afterwards they
should be hung in the open air, beaten ant
shaken. Pillows, beds, stuffed mattresses
upholstered furniture, etc, should be Gu
open, the contents spread out and thor
oughly iumigated. Carpets are best fumi
gated on the floor, but should afterward
| be removed TO the open air and thoroughly
shaken and beaten.

spared the less fortunate of the fair sex"
