GOATS FOR FARMERS.
A Number of Points in Favor of a Much-
 Abused Milk Producer.

The prejudice that exists in this country against the goat is very strong. Perhaps it is caused by our being above goats. We are such q great people and all our farm operations are on so large d scale that we have not time to fool with goats. In the suburbs of large cities the goat k still an animal of great value to the babies and poor pco- pie generally, though this is often at tributcd to the fac. that they are able to steal living from the front doors of the unguarded corner grocers. Many people have q notion that goats, milk is strong and has a goaty taste. There never was greater mistake. The writer has used goats, milk with children and on the table for years and there never Was n more delicious milk. II has a much richer or creamy taste than cows milk and there is nothing better for coffee Perhaps it would not pay to raise goats to sup ply milk route for the reason that there would be too much labor at tcndant upon milking them, but we are quite certain that they produce milk at great profit, SO far as the food consumed is concerned. even when all of il has to be purchased. This fact seems to be established in Southern Europe where goats quite take the place of cows, but where labor for milking k chcaply and abundantly ob- taincd. There arc two other points in favor of the goat that should not be overlooked. One of these applies to cheese-making and the other to the flesh of the kid There is great variety of cheese made from goats milk in Europe, and many of them of the very finest quality, and as for the flesh of the goat there is nothing bet ter when we once get over our preju- dice against it. We have often tried it and know whereof we speak 4mericdH DIiryn0H.

MENT FOR WARTS.

 tre--int, Su,nuirr Ailments.

How to Cure On. of the Cows Most Dis
 dressing Suu,'n"r Ailments.
 In summer COWS are apt to grow large numbers of tiny warts on their teats. From handling them while milking, these warts often become very sore and cauir the COW much pain. from which she becomes uneasy and restless. provo ing the milker to pq.eer and .pma;jmcs to blows. It is ca,v ensuga tO say the farmer should discharge any man who would strike {. COW. especially wA3n she k in pain. but this remedy impo es d certain amount of punishment upon the farm cr himself by competing him to look mp another man at busy season when they are hard to find. The proper rem edy k for the owner of such COWS to take them in hand himself. and not only milk them carefully, but begin to doctor them. in order to remove the cause of this restleSS1NtS aS s1s as possible. As a very general rule these warts are 50 easily removed that there are innumcrable prescriptions made up and prepared by lay doctors, who, in each instance think they have found a sure cure for every case. This, how ever, is not always the fact, for sO.nc- times the COW k so badly affected that nothing but scientific treatment will accomplish a permanent cure, For this reason it is best to try first the most simple remedy such as plain lard al- piled nig~ and mpeAIlg. If this fails then use sal soda and tie threads around the largest warts, close up to the roots, and tie the thread very tightly, If you are still unsuccessful then try lunar caustic, and do not be in too great hurry with it, but apply it lightly and only once day or it will make the warts very sore. By apply ing this caustic thrc" or four times week you will be about certain to cf- feet a cure, but it is best to take the case in hand as soon as your attention is called to the warts It is thought by some dairymen that warts are catching" and that a COW with them will cause them to come on other COWS in the herd, but the probabilities arc on one are at work on all other mem- bcrs of the herd.--1HiCrtcdH Ddiru- yIlllL

 , O-Since all herbage dried for use is best cured in the shade. a fact which is known to every intelligent house. wife, it follows that the valuable prop critics of clover are best preserved in the same way. The practicab le mode for drying clover in the shade is to put it in small piles and turn these once day for two or three days in succession.
 A Disinfecting Lamp: For sick room or for purifying a cellar where vegetables have decayed or wherever foul odors are found, this lamp is use ful.

 There is nothing better for hogs, says an exchange, than large red clover. If tho hogs are ranged so they will not root out the clover, the; pasture will last for two years, and may then be turned under for corn.
 It is the duty of every farmer to make a few experiments each season. If ali run along in the same old ruts, no progress would be made. No ,mat- ter how small it may be, make a break, and try something out of the usual lire in c,iltiya;ing and harvesting, CT your farm operations.
 A hood crop should be part of the regular rotation on all farms, for the reason that such q crop requires close cultivation, and when removed leaves the ground clean Unless this be done the wocd' vii at some time take possession of the fields, though much benefit will result from the use of the cultivator. if u corn crop be grown.
 A country to be truly prosperous, must of necessity raise a variety of crops. A variety of crops is necessary to carry on an intelligent and success ful rotation so as to guard against soil exhaustion. Stock and poultry need a variety of food to maintain health and promote proper development of body and energy Man himself needs va ricty of food.
 If hogs are given variety of green food. with but little grain, in summer, they will keep in excellent health, and be in proper condition for l fattening in the fall. Less food is re- l quired now, and it is not beneficial to | have the hogs fat at this season except to be in good condition, as many dis l eases are due to the system of heavy l grain feeding during warm weather.
 A very large part of the crops l grown upon the farm in the shape of 1 grain should be turned into meats and l butter and cheese before it is sold. In this way the land is kept in fertility and the product is very much more l valuable and concentrated. The farm l CT who raises crops through the sum mer and feeds them through the win l ter has double profits. .-Prdiric Fdrna- |

A socket should he fixed on each pan the lower one having it on the upper side, like caudleStick, and the upper ono on the under side for the rccep- tion of a glass tube. procurable at the druggists, tO connect the two pans. Twelve or thirteen inches will be a good length for the tube, and in ar ranging the flowers it can be twined about with some delicate vine. When flowers are scarce, the lower rcccp- tacle may be filled entirely with leaves, and the few blossoms effectively ar ranged at the top; when there are enough for both pans, the larger ones should ho placed at the bottom, and the moro dainty ones at the top. This will be found a very pretty and cheap hower-hnldcr, and it may be filled either with water, moss or wet sand Golden Buys.

On one of the plantations near the mouth of the south SaItcc river is a very fine live oak. IL measures at about five feet from the ground twenty nine feet in circumference; just above this the trunk divides into five branches, each one of which would make noble tree in itself. Uu- fortunately, the greater part of one of these now lies in ruins on the ground. One can step fifty paces in any direc- ton without leaving the shelter of it's arms. At one time the branches al- most swept the ground, and a large herd of cattle could be and indeed were housed in complntc shelter and seclusian under them. Between fire and the ruthless axe of the negro its glory is fast departing. Nothing is known, of course, of it's age

A NERvY wELL-DIGGER.

One Of the chief annoyan-
ces Of the well-bore's vacation
is the frequent breaking off Of
his important instrument, the
auger, just as it has reached a
depth Of about twenty or thir-
ty feet from the surface. Var
ious devices for overcoming
the trouble have been unsuc-
cessful, and as yet no one has
invented a means Of recover
ing the auger-head afterit has
become detached from the
handle. 1t looks as though
the nuisance would have to
be put up with for some time
yet. Few men care to risk
their necks in the recovery of
a bit of iron as a well-digger
in La Crosse. Ga, did last
week. He got some one to
tie a rope around his heels and
let him down head foremost
until he could grasp the covet-
ed auger-head and take it to
the surface.-Chicago News.

HousnKBEPERs's HELP.

To CURE CoRNs.--Another
sure cure for corns is given
in the form OF bread crumbs,
soaked in strong vinegar and
applied as a poultice. In the
morning the soreness will be
gone and the corn can be
picked out. Two or three
applications generally effect a
cure.
SpIcED GRAPEs.-For spiced
grapes take the pulp out from
the fruit, preserving the skins.
Boil the pulp and rub through
a colander to get out the
seeds. then add the skins to
the strained pulp and boil with
the sugar, vinegar and juices.
To every seven pounds OF
grapes use four pounds and
one-half pounds Of sugar and
one pint ofgood vinegar. Spice
quite highly with ground
cloves and allspice, with a lit
tie cinnamon.
APPLE MARMALADE.-Take
nice. sound russet apples, pare
and core, cut in small pieces.
and to every pound Of fruit
add one pound Of sugar; put
the sugar to boil. with just
enough water to dissolve it,
into a preserving kettle: add
one'large lemon to every four
pounds Of fruit, boil altogeth-
er until the syrup gets thick,
then add the apple and boil
until it looks clear. This is
well made with half ounce
and half apple.
BOILED CHICKEN. CELERY
SAUcE.-Singe. draw, and
truss nicely two fat chickens.
cover the breast with thin
slices of salt pork, and put
them in a saucepan with a car
rot, an onion, three cloves
stuck in it, a celery stock, and
a sprinkle Of salt. Cover all
with water and let boil briskly
for a few minutes and then
slowly for fifty minutes. l.
done. drain. remove the salt
pork, place the chicken on the
dish, pour a small portion Of
the celery sauce over them,
and serve with the remainder
Of the sauce in a scucebowl
with them.
APPLE IcE.-Peel and core
some good cooking apples,
and simmer them slowly in a
little water. with sugar, lemon
peel or a few cloves. When
tender press this through a
hair sieve, add an equal guam
tity Of water. and one-quarter
pound sugar to each pound Of
fruit, and freeze. Apricot pulp
is also delicious, so are pre-
served peaches done this way.
In either case a very little
noyau, or a teaspoonful Of
noyau syrup is a great addi-
ton. Ices are improved by a
very little vegetable coloring,
which without affecting the
flavor, much improves the ap-
pearance. To mould them
they may. when nearly frozen,
be put into a mould with a
tight-htting lid. which must be
securely luted with fat Of some
kind and plunged in a pail Of
freezing mixture.
