What Others Say.

In regard to bee stings being relief
for rheumatism, as has lately been
claimed, bee keeper writes: II have
suffered with that disease for three years
and have handled bees every season, and
this summer l was badly stung while
hiving a swarm, and am sure / never
got any relief from the stings."
Southern Planter knows of no grass or
clover so valuable as the Japan clover or
lespedeza for poor, thin land.
II. B. Geer, southern authority, as
serts that gapes are born of lice. Get
rid of the lice and there will be no more
gapes. 1t may be that that which kills
the lice on a young chicken also destroys
the germs that create the worms in the
windpipe, which causes the gapes, but
take it as we will the fact remains, &C.
cording to Mr.. Geer, that the chicken
that is free from lice is free from gapes.
Professor Shelton, of the Kansas ex-
pertinent station, says that his expert
ence of the last two years gives no sup
port to the opinion entertained by some
that salt, applied as fertilizer to wheat,
will ward off the attack of chinch bugs.
The salt, however, does make brighter
straw, which was noticeable in the culm
weeks after the grain was out.
P. M. Augur, of Connecticut, says: We

to report complete exemption from the
disease.

The principle of fruit preservation lies
In excluding it from contact with the
germs of fermentation and decay, mi
croscopic organisms noating in the at
mosphere. Nothing short of a destruc-
ton of these organisms in the fruit itself
by heat and complete exclusion of the
outside atmosphere by sealing air tight
whatever contains it while in this hot
condition will preserve it effectually. The
glass jars with tops to screw down on to
rubber bands, now in such general use,
save housekeepers a good deal of worry
and trouble incident to the canning sea-
son that was SO inevitable before their
introduction. Great care must be taken
to put on the tops while everything in
the interior of the can is hot, and any
loosening of them afterward by which
outside air can enter will cause the loss
of the fruit by souring and decay.
Fruits should be kept as nearly as posi-
BILE in cool and uniform temperature
after they have been put up, and those
in glass especially should be kept in a
dark place. If each one is wrapped in
paper when put away it will be the bet
ter for it. The preservation from decay
in cold atmosphere is due to the fact
that in low temperature these germs
are comparatively inactive and quiet,
but they nevertheless exist, and while
their action is slower than in a warm
and varying one, i. will in due time
show itself in the same results.

Vinegar Making in Small Way.

Where families have but few apples,
with no cider mill, they may, If they
choose. still make their own vinegar by
MASKING the apples in tub with a
FOUNDER Then put the pomace into a
half barrel perforated with drip holes in
the bottom, and place it over another
tub, as receiver. Moisten the top with
little water occasionally, and place a
follower on the pomace and press it
down with stationary weights. Keep
the juice in a key, bung open, in warm
place, until the vinegar is made. By re-
plenishing it as may be required with the
juice of apples or of soured fruits and
berries-in a word, with any liquid con-
tanning q small percentage of saccharine
matter or alcohol Ia constant supply
may be maintained. Should it get too
acid, dilute moderately with rain water.
Pure wine vinegar may be made from
soured wines and the pulp from the
wine press.

Cows are creatures of habit. With
their first calf everything is new and
strange to them, and they readily sub
NIT to be MIXED, and think it all right;
but suffer them to run with calf the
first season and habit is established
that they will hardly forget in life
time. If they ever after submit to be
MIXED quietly it is evidently under pro-
test. But there is greater objection
than this-the calf running with the COW
draws the milk every hour or two, so
that the milk vessels are not distended
with milk, though the quantity secreted
in given time may be large. And yet
this is the natural time to distend the
milk ducts and expand the udder to a
good capacity for holding milk When,
with the next calf, you require the milk
to be retained for twelve hours, the I'D
der becomes hard and painful and the
milk leaks from the teats, or, more like
ly, nature accommodates the quantity of
the milk secreted to the capacity to re-
tain it, and the COW becomes permanent

A Veterinary Surgeons Op,nsous-Prevent-
ire Measures abc Great Safeguard.
Equine CHAMBERS and farccy are prob
ably the most widely diffused of all the
plaques that affect our domesticated AMI
mails. It can be found in every state in
the Union. 1t is not disease common
to a warm climate It is unknown in
India, and was unknown in Mexico until
it was introduced there by the horses of
the United States army in 1S47. Great
Britain and Europe suffer great loss from
its ravages. Chambers and farcey, though
malignant and fatal disease, need not
cause either excitement or alarm If the
owners Of live stock viii use little pre-
caution and common sense, says s. N.
Cook, veterinary surgeon, in his report
to the Georgia commissioner of agricul-
ture.
Horses and mules are subject to many
diseases that are accompanied with a
discharge from the nostrils, such as ca
tarrh, nasal gleet, influenza strangles or
any affection of the nasal sinuses and
CHAMBERS. In all of these there is dis
charge from one or both nostrils and a
swelling of the glands under the lower
jaw.
To the ordinary observer, the symp-
toms in all viii present about the same
appearance Most of these diseases are
contagious or infectious, but very harm
less if properly cared for. Prevention
is better than cure. When an animal
shows the first symptoms of discharge
from the nose he should be kept separate
from all others and well cared for. With
ordinary care, catarrh. influenza and
strangles will run their course in from
one to three weeks. Nasal gleet is very
rarely met with. If affected with CLAN
ders the discharges will continue. II
proper attention is paid to the ventila-
ton, drainage and general cleanliness of
the stable, CHAMBERS and farcey would be
unknown in this climate unless brought
by contagion.
In conclusion. when your horse or
mule is taken sick, just treat him like
one of your family, and wait patiently
for few days for developments. If in
few days the symptoms should be sus-
picious, just wait few days longer and
you will probably find your fears are
groundless. If not, examine him care
fully, and be fully assured of the fact
that ii is CHAMBERS. and then have him
quietly destroyed.
There is no question but that large
sums of money are every year. spent by
farmers ON nostrums and patent hum
bugs which their families and their ami
mails would be better without. There
are thousands of horses "doctored" to
death, many of which. if turned out
and left to themselves would get well.
There is scarcely disease to which our
animals are subject that may not be pre-
vented by the sxerais ri Judgment and

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS


conclasions Arrived Il by he Director Of
the New Jersey Experiments Station
In bulletin issued b. the New Jersey
experiment station on commercial fer
tilizers, the statement appears that
manufacturers as ISle are willing to
sell to farmers at factory for cash, and
it would result in profit and satisfaction
to both parties if this method of dealing
were generally adopted" In order that
farmers may aid in bringing this about
it is essential, first, to know what is
wanted; second, to send orders to trust
worthy manufacturers early in the sea-
son; third. let each neighborhood club
together and buy in comparatively large
lots for cash.
Following ale additional suggestions
that may assist prospective buyers: The
fact that any brand reaches its guarantee
in contained plant food, or that it CORE
spends closely in estimated value to SELL
ing price, is not evidence in itself that it
Is better than some other brands which
do not reach its claims in this respect.
In addition to these points the guarantee
must be high enough to warrant the
price, and the contained plant food must
be the kind that is needed. Attention
cannot be too often called to the fact that
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash are
the elements sought for in complete
fertilizer; the amount, kind and quality
of these determine its commercial and to
large degree its agricultural value. As
rule, the fertilizer which contains the
greatest amount of these elements is the
cheapest; for the cost of manufacture,
freightage and rate of commission is the
same for high grade as for low grade
fertilizers, and the labor on the part of
the farmer is increased as the grade of
the goods decreases.

Pigs That Are oxerfed.

Swine are proverbially greedy, but ii
is the duty of the owner of the animal to
control its natural habits when these are
opposed to its well doing, SO that the first
thing to be done in feeding young pigs is
to measure their feed judiciously. They
should never have all they will eat.
Only fattening swine should be SO fed,
and they would soon die from over feed
ing il they were not killed. When a
young pig chokes at the trough, squeals
and falls over in fit, it is overfed; when
it goes to the side of the stall, champs its
Jaws, foams at the mouth, and does moth
ing else than this, says Southern Farm,
it has been overfed, and in both cases it
is suffering from congestion of the brain,
due to indigestion and disturbed circu-
lation. 1t is in a state of apoplexy and
will probably die anyhow. but the others
may be saved by at once reducing their
feed to about one-fourth of what they
have been getting.
The prevalent paralysis of the hind
limbs is caused by overlooking by which
the kidneys have been overtaxed and
the nervous system of the lumbar region
1.-THE loins) is disturbed. Thus the power
of motion of the hind legs is lost.

Milk for rattcniur Fowls.

The value of milk for laying hens has
been frequently urged and now Poultry
Yard calls attention to its use for fatten-
Ing purposes. What different taste a
fine, nicely and quickly fatted fowl has,
when served on the table, compared with
one which has been forced to scratch for
all its living, and then be consigned to
the spit in anything but fit condition
for food. Farmers realize the Importance
of fattening quickly, when feeding beeves
for the butcher, yet many do not seem to
realize the fact that what holds good
with that kind Of meat is equally true
when applied to fowls. Tenderness and
juiciness are results of fattening quickly,
while mere ordinary flavor and want Of
tenderness result from letting fowls run
till wanted for use on the table.

Barley for Poultry.

This grain is one very extensively
used when the price permits of this 1t
contains 10 per cent. of flesh formers,
70 per cent of fat and warmth giving
substances, and 81 per cent. of bone con-
stituents. Whether whole or ground, a
leading poultry authority recommends
this grain for rearing or egg producing
purposes. When not too expensive this
food can be used to great advantage,
and as a change it is to be commended
even when selling well.

As rule the fruit of Seeding trees, or

rather small, hard and sound late keep
ers.r Among the best are Hewe's crab,
Waugh's crab, Harrison apple and some

Remoxo ths Broken Ege..

Egg shells should never be given to
hens, as they will learn the vice of egg
eating thereby. When an egg is broken
in the nest or yard, it should be removed
as soon as discovered. A hen seldom be-
gins to eat egg shells until she finds one
broken by accident, or until she becomes
accustomed to egg shells that may be
thrown into the yard.

II is the usual rule for farmers in saw
ing corn seed to select that most thor
oughly ripened. This, says American
Cultivator, is wise, because it tends to
make the crop earlier, but it is not me-
cessary to make the seed grow that the
corn should be even glazed. Unripe
corn, If thoroughly dried, will shrivel
badly, but it will grow not only as
quickly, but possibly even more SO,
than that which has fully matured. 1t
is easier to select the first ears early in
the season than after harvest, and by
selecting very early the corn may be SO
thoroughly dried before cold weather
that it will be impossible for cold to in
iure it if moisture is kept from it. The
greater dryness of shrunken grains pro-
tects their vitality from being injured.
Otherwise, plump, matured seed should
naturally produce the best results, as it
does with most grains.
