horse is indisposed. The stablemen notice
this and are led to report the fact. Should
CHAMBERS be in the stable it is at once said
the horse is sickly, when in truth he is al
ready sick, the period of incubation hay
ing terminated at this juncture.
The mucous membrane of the nose, sin
uses, throat, ETC., are the seat of disease, as
we'll as the lungs. Indeed, the glands gen.
orally are implicated, hence the term
CHAMBERS so wherever the glands are there
the germ is likely to be found. In farcy
CHAMBERS the superficial Emphatic glands
hold the germ, and nodules are formed
termed "farcy buds" Small glands exist
everywhere, and when affected rise up to
form nodule and in time burst to form
an ulcer. Sometimes these form high up
in the nose where they cannot be seen,
therefore, when absent, it should not be
thought that CHAMBERS does not exist. The
tumefed gland under the jaw is hard and
adherent. When such symptoms exist an
expert in animal diseases should be called
in without delay.-Baltnnore Sun.
WHIPPED CREAM
Some farmers think this is dish only
for aristocrats. Mistaken, my friend; it is
| not any more expensive than the natural
cream that so many use on the table every
day. 1t is a delicious sauce for many kinds
of pudding, and for cake that is becoming
dry. 1t makes dainty dish for GONZALES
cents in some diseases, if used with crack
ers, one that relishes, tastes good, and
more than anything else, it looks so tempt
ing and dainty, and looks is everything to
| an invalid's appetite; please always bear
that idea in your mind when waiting on
the sick. In making whipped cream be
sure and cool the cream below churning
temperature, which ranges from 64o to 100
Fahrenheit, or you may get a dish Of butter
on hand, and the cooler the quicker it be-
comes thick; only don't freeze it, of course
To a coffee cup of cream add the whites of
two eggs, two tablespoonful of sugar and
little favoring extract. Beat all to-
gether, regular egg-beater will do the
work the most rapidly. This quantity will
make quart bowlful, after it is beaten so
as to stand alone when dropped from off a
spoon. The cream should be rather thick
quart out of cupful by using the whites
of only two eggs with the cream, and eggs
should be plenty in every farmers family.

wHTTEwAsH FOR POULTRY HOUSES.
A capital whitewash is made by mixing
common water-lime cement with sweet,
skinned milk to the proper consistency.
The following is the government white
wash, and fine whitewash it is: Put two
pailsful of boiling water in barrel; add
one half of a bushel of well-burned, fresh
oil ,0aol- of
common salt, dissolved in hot water, and
cover the barrel tightly to keep in the
steam while the lime is Stacking; when the
violent ebullition is over, stir till well
mixed together, and, if necessary, add more
boiling water, so as to have the mass like
thick cream; strain through sieve or
coarse cloth. Make thin starch of three
pounds of rice flour and one pound of
strong glue, having first soaked the glue in
cold water, and to the latter mixture add
two pounds of whiting. Add this to the
lime-wash, and also sufficient hot water to
dilute to the proper consistency; keep hot
while applying. 1t will require about six
quarts of the mixture to one hundred
square feet of surface, and it will last re-
markedly well. 1t goes without saying,
that it may be made any color.
FARM NOTES.
Corncobs are exceedingly rich in potash.
Save them, burn them, and carefully col
lect the ashes therefrom.
When hay and straw are stacked do not
forget that the must important matter is
to have the stock shed water.
If your peach trees are not thrifty look
for the borer. If grass has grown up in
the peach orchard the trees will probably
have made but little growth.
Put plenty of manure around the canes
of the raspberries if you wish full crop
next season. The manure serves as
mulch, protects the roots and provides
plant food.
Although the blackberry grows wild in
some sections, and can be had for the pick
ing, a row of them on the farm, cultivated
and MANFRED, will be found of value dur
ing the fruit season.
If you do not wish to carry the soap
suds to the manure heap, which is the
best place for them, throw them on the
asparagus plot, as they always show bene-
fetal effects when used on asparagus beds.
Crops intended for blowing under give
the best results if they are turned in Just
at the period OF blooming, or when the
seeds are beginning to form, but such
plants should never be allowed to produce
seed.
Low fences induce cattle to attempt to
get over, and when the vice of jumping
over fences has been acquired cattle will
attempt to do so on high fences. The
rule should be to have all fences in good
condition.
The farmer who carefully saves all the
manure, and uses every endeavor to pre-
serve it, is the one who also uses fertilizers.
Such farmer is never over supplied with
the materials that are necessary to increase
the fertility of his soil.
If the winter supply of food seems liable
to fall short do not wait until that time to
reduce the surplus stock, but sell off the
fat stock as early as possible, so as to Lessen
the consumption before the season for feed
ing the stored food arrives.
1t has been conclusively demonstrated
that it will cost no more to raise large
hog, with fair proportion of lean and fat,
and of equal weight in the same period of
growth, than to produce pork that is very
fat and containing but little lean meat.
No matter how many varieties of straw
berries may be introduced no variety will
thrive in all sections. Experiments
should be made on each farm and selec-
tions made in favor of the variety giving
the best results, according to climate and
conditions of soil.
The experiments made in Ohio for the
purpose Of arriving at a knowledge of the
best method of cutting potatoes for seed
and the production therefrom, show that
cutting the seed reduces the yield. In
other words, the smaller the cuttings the
smaller the yield.
Farmers who raise sheep for wool should
combine and grade their wool in large
