FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Milk should Immediately after
milking be cooled by ice or running
water. When that Is done the can, or
whatever it is in, should be left open.
The milk should be frequently stirred;
otherwise it will cool unevenly, and if
SO it will quickly sour.
Heavy soils that have been well
underdrained and plowed to a depth
of at least six inches will endure the
drought much better than clay soil
that is drained on the surface. Under
draining permits the air and warmth
to penetrate to the roots of the plants.
If the tomato vines are not staked,
cut off the lower branches so as to
trim the vines somewhat to a tree
shape. BY pinching off the ends Of
the tops and branches more laterals
will be thrown out and the limbs be-
come stronger and better enabled to
support the fruit.
The spirits of turpentine sprinkled
on the shelves of closets and placed on
pieces Of muslin therein will keep
away moths and buffalo bugs. Where
the moth millers are numerous, place
saucers containing spirits of turpen-
tine about the room and they will soon
die.-Good Housekeeping.
A farmer should have not only a
good farm and good farm implements,
but also q good place to store his wag-
ons, reapers, plows, etc. A good farm
er never stores his wagon under tree,
or his plow in the fence corner. 1t
pays to take care of all tools. A store
house is necessity for every farmer.
In case of accident every effort on
the part of the patient to repeat in de-
tail the cause of an accident, the sem
sation, experience, etc, should be dis
couraged. Careful conversation upon
other subjects and perfect rest will do
more to bring about speedy recovery
and strengthen all concerned in the
belief that it is not always necessary to
send for a doctor.

ure the animal would die. But fur
nishing it with plenty OF moisture
in the shape of clear water is not the
best way. Experience shows that 1t
is better to furnish at least part of The
moisture needed incorporated in the
food. 1t is for this reason that green
grasses are so valuable, or at least it
is a principal reason. 1t is for this
reason that roots are so valuable as a
food. In place OF medicines, therefore,
in many cases we would advise grass.
There is one class, however, that the
farmer often finds it hard to treat as we
have suggested. They are the cases
of horses that are needed for work. He
feels that he can not spare horse for
a week or two that it may run upon
grass. Well, sick horse, if it is very
sick, should not be worked, and the
way to treat sick animal is always to
treat him the best way. If a week or
two weeks, or a month is the best way
to cure him, that is the way to treat
him. The work must be left to be
taken care of in some other way, un-
less we value the life and usefulness Of
the animal so little that we do not care
about saving him. Humanity, how
ever, even then should prompt US to
exercise mercy. We do not mean by
any thing that we have said to convey
the idea that all stock should be turned
upon grass too early. In doing this
people often make amistake. - Western

COMMON-SENSE FEEDING.
One of the Most Costly and Cruel Habit
That Farmers Have.

One of the Most Costly and Cruel Habits
That Farmers Have.
When many man sees, as he does
see, that animals that 60 on grass
in weakly and sick condition, at once
improve, as they do often, it ought to
be sufficient to dictate better way of
winter feeding than is entirely too
common. Our animals are fed all
winter, in thousands of cases, upon
dry, concentrated food, and in one
way or another, in spring they show
the effects of it. The owner feels that
he must do something, and often it is
necessary to give medicines at once.
But as soon as the grass comes stop the
medicines, in ordinary cases at least,
and turn them into the pasture. At
first the grass will lack nutritious
qualities, and it may sometimes be
necessary to feed even sick animal
something in addition. Animals that
are not diseased ought to have some
thing besides the very young grass
But sick animal will often be greatly
benefited by stinting it in diet, and in
such cases it may need nothing more
than what the imperfect young grass
will give. If we had an animal that
was out of condition, or in
any disease short of being
or verging upon desperate case, we
should turn it upon grass as soon as
grass comes, and give it trial before
resOrting to medical treatment We
the custom of feeding for months prin-
cipally upon corn is one of the most
costly habits that farmers have. 1t is
positively injurious to the animal, and
to every animal that is compelled thus
to live. Sometimes we do not see the
evil effects, but we may be sure that
they exist, for such a course of feed
ing is in violation Of natures laws,
and they can not be violated without
paying the penalty. But we do see
the effects in thousands of cases, and
see them often enough in our own
herds to suggest the wisdom of reform
in our feeding methods.
1t ought not to be diffiult to see what
the result of constantly feeding dry,
fat-producing food is. Leaving out of
the question altogether the fact that
by such feeding part OF the system,
and the most important part, too, gets
no nourishment, or scarcely any, the
natural tendency of fat-producing.
concentrated dry foods is toward an
Impairment of the digestive functions.
The system must have moisture. If

NEW CORN-DESTROYER.
Prof. Forbes Discovers and Describes d,
StructiVe Insect.

| Prof. Forbes Discovers and Describes De-
structive Insect.
The State EntomolOgist, Prof. S. A.
Forbes, reports to Secretary Mills Of
the Department of Agriculture, that
he has discovered in the swamp lands,
now being rapidly drained and brought
under cultivation, destructive attack
on corn by native insect not hitherto
recognized as injurious-one of the
snout beetles or "bill bugs" (Spheno-
phorus ochreus), of whose habits and
history nothing has been hitherto as
certained.
1t now appears, however, that this
insect feeds commonly on large club
rush (Scirpus) and the common reed
(PbroqmiteS), plants which grow
abundantly in the lowest marshy prai-
ries, and attacks corn when planted on
ground where these grasses have been
plowed up.
The beetle is about half an inch long,
clay-colored, and bears long snout or
proboscis, at the end of which is pair
of minute jaws. This snout it thrusts
into the stalk of corn or stem of grass
upon which it is feeding, chewing and
swallowing the soft internal tissues Of
the plant. Whole fields of corn have
thus been completely destroyed two
or three times in succession. The in
jury has not yet ceased, as the beetles
are but just preparing to breed and
farmers have consequently been COM
PEELED to abandon their corn and sow
the ground to some later crop. such as
E1.tlet, not liable to injury by this
beetle. The habits of other beetles of
its kind indicate that this species may
succeed in breeding in the stalks Of
corn, in which case it is liable to spread
from its present limited localities to
corntields at large 1t should receive,
consequently, the closest and most in
telligent attention of entomologists
and farmers. 1t has not yet been
found seriously infesting corn the
second year after grass, and its worst
injuries can consequently be prevented
by planting ground bearing reeds and
large rushes for the first year, to some
other crop than corn.-SpgiaQfed

MILLIONS or BRooMs.
How They Are Produced In Broom-Corn
Growing Regions.

How They Are Produced In Broom-Corn
Growing Regions.
There is one industry in the country
In which the small capitalists have
been able to hold their own against
the wealthiest men in it, and that is
the industry of broom making. 1t is
business in which a journeymsn OF
skill and prudence can hope to estab-
lish himself, if he wishes, within
very few years after he has learned his
trade.
The process of bpoom-making is
simple and yet it is such that
machinery has never been devised for
turning out completed broom, and,
beyond the sum necessary to erect
such an establishment as will permit
of certain division of the labor, an
abundance of capital is of no special
advantage. The broom center of the
country is in New York State, the
largest establishments and best work
men being located in the Mohawk val
ley The time was when the Mohawk
valley was the great broom-corn
raising center of the country, too,
but the less tough and stringy
and more succulent and profit
able cabbage has driven the wavy,
green tassels of broom corn from the
flats which were once their favorite
growing place. 1t was because OF the
prolific yield of corn there in former
la4 hn IN. Ia nf, 1.ly
became SO well established.
The growth of broom factory is
interesting. A young man of econom-
ical habits learns the trade, and,
having learned it well, is able to do
the equivalent of turning out 100 to
125 or 150 complete brooms a day As
matter of fact, in well regulated
shops no man makes a complete broom,
but only part of it, but the journey
man having learned his trade well can
do enough work usually at piece prices
to earn from 81 to So day. Out of
this he ought to save $500 before
starting in trade for himself. With
this sum he can buy enough machinery
Cat cost of $3.50 and stock to set
from three to five men at work and
keep them at work until returns come
in from the sales. That is a very
modest capital, but since the
machinery costs so little, men
have started on $500, and
even less, and made notable successes
as the trade goes. Second hand tools
can be had sometimes for $50 or $50, a
couple OF bales of corn would cost per-
haps $35, 500 handles So 80 more, and
other supplies $25, and then the man
is ready to set up shop and make all
the broom his neighbors can use, at
least.
The trade in New York City calls for
about 150,000 dozen brooms a year
The majority of them are made in Am
sterdam and other towns along the Mo
hawk river. Many come from jersey,
however. The factories are unpreten-
tious buildings. Steam power in the
larger factories is used in stitching the
broom and in winding the wire around
the corn where it is secured to the
handle. The largest factory in the
business, according to a New York
dealer, turns out 1000 dozen brooms a
day, or twice as many as the New York
City trade demands. In such factory
mans work is equivalent to the MAX
ing of from 200 to 250 brooms a day,
according to the quality of the brooms.
