Sucking MARES.

Is it beneficial to mares sucking colts
to give them fax seed in any shape, or
oil meal, and are they safe to give mares
before foaling2 Flax seed is safe and
beneficial to any class Of animals, in any
condition, when fed to them in proper
quantities, and properly prepared. If
the raw fax seed is used, it should be
boiled to jelly in six or eight times it's
quantity Of water. Then a pint daily Of
this flax seed jelly can be fed proftably
to mares before and after foaling, and to
colts as soon as they will eat. In all
cases the jelly must be fed mixed with a
full feed of oats, bran, cut clover or shorts.
Corn is not the best for mares or colts.
The oil meal either of the old or new
patent, can also be proftably used, but
in all cases moderately, with liberal guam
titles of other food. But with oil meal
it is not necessary to boil it. One pound
of oil meal is a full feed, with other food,
per day, for q mature animal.-L0ooa

ART OF BOTTLE CLEANING.

Most medicine bottles can be cleaned
by washing thoroughly in hot soap-suds
and rinsing in cold water; but there may
be some that will require different treat
ment. Some druggists clean narrow
necked bottles by putting in bits of blot
ting paper with some water, shaking
well, emptying, them rinsing. This will
make them very clean. Frequently bot
ties will be musty when standing any
length of time, and in this case, if they
are filled with cold water and let stand
for an hour or two, the musty smell will
disappear. If the bottles are greasy, fill
with warm water, put in piece of wash
ng-soda, allow it to dissolve, then shake
the bottle thoroughly, empty, rinse, and
put TO drain. A few drops of ammonia
in a bottle of warm water will be found
excellent to clean greasy bottle
Powdered charcoal and water are good
to clean bottle that is not greasy Once
4 Week.

of the board so that it will form an angle
of about forty-fve degrees with the hori-
Zon. From teakettle or other suitable
vessel pour on the engraving boiling
water until the salt and lemon-iuice are
entirely washed off. The engraving will
then be perfectly clean and free from
stain. It must be dried on the board or
on some smooth surface gradually, not by
the fire or sun.
Immerse the print for an hour or so Cor
longer if necessary in I've made by add
ing to the strongest muriatic acid its own
weight in water, and to three parts OF
this mixture adding one of red oxide of
manganese. India ink stains should in
the first instance be taken out with India
rubber very carefully. If the print has
been mounted the paste on the back
should be removed with warm water.
Another recipe is: Lay the engraving
down on a smooth board with a clean
sheet of paper underneath, and with a
clean sponge and water wet the picture
on both side and then saturate it we'll
with soft sponge with the following
mixture: quarter of pound chloride of
lime, two ounces of oxalic acid and one
quart of soft water and apply.-Ameri-

REMEDY FOR CABBAGE WORMS.

The green cabbage worm is trouble
some pest almost everywhere that cab
bages are grown. It is the caterpillar of
a small, white butterfly with black spots
on its wings. These may be seen flying
over the cabbage field, in great numbers
all through the summer, depositing their
eggs on every plant. To keep the
worms at all in check requires the almost
continuous application of some strong in
secticide. The trouble may be greatly
lessened by poisoning as many of the but
terfiies as possible. To do this, attach
artificial flowers securely to the top of
sticks eighteen to twenty inches long,
and cover the flowers with arsenic mixed
with sugar, or with sweet paste of any
sort. Put these sticks into the ground at
frequent intervals throughout the field
the butterflies will be attracted to the
flowers, and will get enough of the
poison to give them an etfectual quietus.
Besides the saving of labor, this is a
much better method than to risk the too
frequent application of strong insecticides
to the plants. Arsenical poisons should
never be applied after the plants have
begun to head.-American Agricultewist
