HOW to wash Laee,

Speaking of lace, the only way to

with cotton cloth, sew the lace around,
sewing down all the delicate points;
then sponge it clean; or, if necessary,
soak the whole thing in sOap-suds (lOOk

soap water is used. If the lace is care

Protecting Sheep.

A Minnesota sheep grower has adopted
q device for protecting his sheep from
wolves and wolfsh dogs which is sim
pie and inexpensive. For several years
he has hung bells on many ofthe sheep,
and finds them, if Plent1fully used, quite
eficacious. But to make assurance
dOubly sure" ne hangs the bells on
leather straps in which quite long carpet
tacks have been thickly driven, Ietting
points stick out. As the wolf or dog
almost invariably strikes at the throat,
this serves as a sure defence, even when
the fear Of the bell has been overcome.
We believe a spiked sheep collar has
been patented.

VOEL CKER found from analyses that
In farm yard manure which had been
rOtted for three months there were per
ton twenty four pounds of potash, six
of phOsphOric acid, and fifteen of nitro
gen. Allowing 5 cents a pound for the
potash and phosphoric acid, and but 10
cents for the nitrogen, the ton of manure
will be worth So.
The Massachusetts, Board of Agricul-
ture cites a suggestive instance-that Of
liVeryman who spread the stable re-
fuse from fifteen horses on one and a
half acres of meadow several successive
years, and harvested three crops each
season, aggregating seven and One-half
tons of good hay-"as much as he would
have secured had the manure been scat
tered over three times as much land"
A BOX stall in the corner of Stephen
III. Merritt's barn. in Duchess County,
N. Y, serves Tor an ice-hOuse. The ice
slides in at the window easily, and is
taken out by door In the feeding alley
in the summer. A foot of sawdust upon
the loose boards and sticks provides
drainage. The ice is also surrounded
by eight inches of sawdust on the sides
and foot on top. He says he has all
he needs for dairy and other uses.
HEAVY soils and those rich in vegeta-
BILE matter, should receive frequent
light dressings of salt. 1t does not act
directly as fertilizer except IN very
rare instances, but salt in small doses
helps to dissolve and make available
other plant food of which heavy soils
usually have an abundance, though not
in available condition fog use. On land
entirely deficient in vegetable matter
salt is usually of little benefit.
IF wheat, corn, cotton, or tobacco be
sOwn or planted for successive years the
land will become exhausted and often
deserted, and the region depOpulated,
as was the case in Virginia and many of
the States. Experience mas shown that
land annually demands a change of crops
to yield to the farmer full reward for
his industry, and it is rotation of crops
or the discovery of new crops that must
restore again the wasted lands of the
older States.

THE DAIRY.
Winter DafrviDg.

Writing in the season of the heat,
sweat, hurry, and fly time of haying and
harvesting, the Hon. L. S. Coffin, of
Fort Dodge, Iowa, eIoquently and fer
vently advocates winter dairying. Fol
lowing are some of the reasons for the
faith that is IN him. More milk can be
taken from a COW in the course of a
year. when her calf IS dropped in the
fall. Better prices for butter can be
had for nice fresh article in winter
than in GUNNER. The COWS are in
their best condition in early autumn,
and the milk is richer than that pro-
duced from the watery grass of spring.
Milking is easier and pleasanter in cool
weather than in fly time, and the COWS
being less worried give down better.
The necessary work of the dairy can be
better attended to in fall and winter
than in the heat and hurry Of haying
and harvesting. With care and the right
sort of fodder and roots for the COWS
an excellent article of butter can be pro-
duced when it viii command an extra
price.
There is something in these reasons
worth thinking about, and there is
no possible danger of OVERRIDING the
business of winter dairying. By the aid
of the siIo the flow of milk and its quail
ity can be kept up. And if cows are
we'll fed and sheltered there is no reason
why they may not yield abundantlY.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
To bleach FIanneI.

Flannel which has become yellow with
use may be bleached by putting it for
some days in a solution of hard soap to
which strong ammonia has been added.
The right proportions are one and one
half pounds of hard curd soap, fifty
pounds of soft water, and twO-thirds of
a pound of strong ammonia solution.
The same object may be obtained in a
a shorter time by placing the flannel for
quarter of an hour in a weak solution of
bisulphate of sodium to which a little
hydrOchlOric acid has been added.

THE ORCHARD.
Regarding Apple Orchards.

The fashion of buyers with regard to
favOrite apples changes. This year
nearly everywhere Baldwin apples have
been in abundant supply. In some
places the trees have OverbOrne and the
fruit is small. 1t may be this that has
caused the decline in price below even
the Greening. But a farmer who has
an undesirable assortment of apples can
quickly change them. In most cases
the regrafting has been to the Baldwin,
supersed ing less productive and salable
sorts. There are few apples as produc-
tive as the Baldwin, and at the same
time so salabIe. If the trees that it is
desired to change are old, the Northern
Spy variety is probably the best to graft
into them. This variety is a very strong
grower, and on old trees nearly or quite
as productive as Baldwin. It is much
better apple, better keeper, and not
likely soon to 60 out of fashion.

Milking,

A novice should always commence
with a COW which is easy to milk, and
requires but little pressure on the teat.
The COW must also be a quiet one, or
the mixer, with his pail, may be upset.
All things being ready, the COW being
tied, if possible, the mixer takes his
pail or bucket in the right hand and his
stool in the left. He then quietly ap-
prOaches the right side of the COW, and
sits down near her udder as gently as
possible. He then takes hold of one
teat with his right hand and another
with his left. and in turn, presses each
a little. This causes the milk to flow,
and this continues until the whole is
extracted. The student should remem-
Der that the two teats are not pressed
together, but one, two, one, two, one two,
must be the order Of the day. After a
minute or two at the first two teats,
the other two should be relieved a little;
the mixer then returns to the first pair,
and strives to extract the milk as fast as
possible. The last drop or two cannot
usually be drawn by the clasp OF the
hand. but the teat IS passed once or
twice between the fOreinger and thumb,
and leaves the udder clean" of milk.
The finger and thumb process is known
as stripping, and really good mixer
strips" but very little.-F'GrHl and

THE FARM


There should never be any necessity
for killing weeds, as they should not be
allowed to grow. The frequent use of
the harrow and cultivator viii destroy
them in their early stages, as they are
then very tender and cannot Withstand
disturbance of the soil. If allowed to
become well rooted, however, a large
amount of labor will be required to do
what can be done with ease just after
the weed seeds terminate.

rh START a BnIICv Horse.

Vided it was not case where some other
person had been tampering with the
will of the horse before 1 had taken him
IN hand. 1t is another method of g i-
verting the horses attention.
Whenever a horse driven by myself
has baked I have got out of my carriage
and gone to his fore foot, lifted 1t from
the ground and struck the shoe a few
short blows with a stone or with a
wrench (Which 1 always carry in my
carriage). 1 have never failed to start a
horse in that very simple way, and have
on several occasions had baIky horses
which exhausted the patience of all for
mer owners.

him and talking to him, that there is a
new man at the helm, thereby diverting
his attention. AS soon as he begins to
give me his attention take up his foot
and tap it a few times. and never failed
except in one instance to start the horse.
And that exceptional case was one where
the horse was overloaded and knew it.
The very worst method of attempting
to start balky horse, according to my
experience and observation, is that of
pulling the head Of the animal by the
bit, and it is a method almost univer-
sally adopted by the inexp erienced users
OF the horse. The stubbOrnness of the
horse is only increased by that method
