KEEP THE COWS CLEAN.

With cows constant attention to the
cleanliness of the skin is indispensable
to the purity of the milk These animals
generally escape Injury to health from
causes which would be fatal to other
animals because the poison is carried off
with the milk. And in dairies where
cleanliness is not observed as it should be
the evaporation from the milk, which
collects on the covers of the pals in
which the milk is set for cream, or which
may be gathered upon sheet of glass
laid over a shallow pan of milk freshly
drawn from COW, will deposit quau-
tity of liquid of an intolerably foul odor.
If one will test the milk of COWS kept in
filthy stables, and upon whose sides filth
is permitted to collect in adherent flakes,
in this way, the foulness will be very ap-
parent. This odor has been called some-
times the animal odor and has been
thought to be inseparable from the COW.
This is wholly untrue. 1t is the odor of
filth, which has every characteristic of
manure, and which is discharged with
the milk because it could not escape
through the skin, which is the natural
outlet for it, and by which it would es-
cape freely and imperceptibly if the skin
were kept clean and in healthful action
by means of thorough carding and brush
ing every day.-NeW York Times.

AN extraordinary advance In the Use of CO.
Goa seems to have taken place Of late years in
session, the Right Hon. G. j. Goschen, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, called atte ntion
10 II rs a cause tor much of the falling OF of
the use of coffee. He attributed it in meas
ure, to the position a preparation of cocoa
known as Grateful and Comforting" had
taken. In accord with this suggestion, it may
be interesting to follow the course cocoa has
taken IN England since 1882, when the duty,
with an importation of under half a million
Iounds, was reduced to I'd. per pound, and not
fong after we find the homeopathic doctrine of
medicine introduced into the kingdom, and
that the use of cocoa was specially advocated
BY physicians adopting that mode of practice.
Soon after we find the first homeopathic
chemists established in England (the firm of
James Epps d Coz produced special prep
aratton which only needed boiling water or
milk to be at once ready for the table, and the
superior character OF this production has, no
doubt, done much, as the Chancellor of the
Exchequer said, TO bring about the advance
made. .-

wu1TEwAsH FOR POULTRY HOUSES.

A capital whitewash is made by mix
ing common, water lime cement with
sweet, SKINNED milk to the proper con-
sistency. The following is the Govern
ment whitewash, and fine whitewash it
is: Put two pailfuls of boiling water in
a barrel; add one half of bushel of
we'll burned, fresh quicklime; put in
quickly one peck of common salt, dis
solved in hot water, and cover the barrel
tightly to keep in the steam while the
lime is Stacking; when the violent ebul
lition is over, stir till well mixed to-
,ether, and, if necessary, add more boil
ng water, so as to have the mass like
hick cream, strain through sieve or
,oarse cloth. Make thin starch of three
ounds of rice flour and one pound of
rong glue, having first soaked the glue
cold water, and to the latter mixture
.dd 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 100
square feet of surface, and it will last re-
markably well. Itgoes without saying,
hat it may be made any color desired.

Ship to reach destination about the mid
die of the week-never to arrive as late
as Saturday.
In New York city three is an ordinance
that specifies that neither chickens or
turkeys shall be offered for sale unless
the crops are free from food. While
poultry for New York and some other
markets is seldom if ever drawn, that de-
signed for Boston and other New Eng.
land markets is relieved of the entrails
when killed. 1t is important, therefore,
that producers should learn previous to
shipping just what their special market
requires. This information may be OBJ
tanned by writing direct to ones commits
sion merchant for instructions. Many
firms have printed circulars containing
directions, which are sent out on written
application. Whenever practicable, ship
chickens, ducks, turkeys, etc., in sepa-
rate packages. In sending poultry for
the holidays endeavor to have your ship
ments reach their destination three or
four days in advance. Bear in mind
that the big demand for fine, large tur-
keys comes at Thanksgiving, and that
prime geese catch the fancy prices at
Christmas. Soon after January prices
90 up again. Capons meet a good
market from the LIST of February on'until

PLANTING IN AN OLD ORCHARD.

Orchardists have usually asserted that
young trees would not thrive if planted
in the same place where an old one of
the same kind had grown and died of old
age or otherwise, although nature has
been replanting her forests in this way
for many thousands of years. There is
no good reason for supposing that an old
apple tree leaves anything in the soil
that should be injurious to a young tree
planted in its place, and we would not
hesitate for a moment to replace old
trees of any kind with new ones. II The
land is old and its fertility exhaused,
fertilizers should, of course, be applied
in sufficient quantities to insure vigor-
Gus growth of young trees. It's an old
theory that new orchard should never
be planted on the site of an old one, but
it does not hold good in practice. e.-New
York San.

Buffalo Herds Half Century Ago.

think I eau truly say, writes General
John Bidwell in the November Century,
that saw in that region in one day more
buffaloes than have seen of cattle in
all my life. have seen the plain black
with them for several days journey
as far as the eye could reach. They
seemed to be coming northward con-
tinually from the distant plains to the
Platte to get water, and would plunge in
and swim across by thousands-so
numerous were they that they changed
not only the color of the water, but its
taste, until it was unit to drink; but we
had to use it. One night when we were
encamped on the South Fork of the
Platte they came in such droves that we
had to sit up and fire guns and make what
fires we could to keep them from run
ming over us and trampling us into the
dust. We could hear them laundering
all night long; the ground fairly
trembled with vast approaching bands;
and if they had not been diverted, wagons,
animals and emigrants would have been
trodden under their feet.

wEIGHTING A WAGON,

Ten years ago man drew me a load
of hay in spring, roads very rough and
muddy, and fully thirds ef the load
was on the forward wheels, because he
wanted to give the team all the advan-
tage possible, as the roads were so soft
and the wheels cut in so." He was as
tonished that l should differ, and when
told Others of my surprise l was dumb
founded to find nine out of ten agreeing
with him. They ''knew by experience"
that the nearer the load to the team, the
easier it would draw, and that the large
cast-iron thimble- -axie moved load over
rough roads easier than a small steel
axle. After this 1 was led to notice
loaded wagons; one day counted thirty
eight loads of grain in bags going to
market, and not one of them was loaded
heaviest behind, and such has been my
observation everywhere. With potatoes
the box is filed and the extra bags piled
on forward, also salt, nails, and such
heavy goods are put forward, and the
lighter and more bulky behind. 1 re-
gard such loading as great physical
heresy as that the horse that lags behind
does the most work. "It is true that
the closer the load to the team the easier
it will draw, "if it is log on the ground,
but put it on wheels and be the roads
smooth or rough, 1t makes little differ
ence, and long tongue gives the team
an advantage on p"ugh roads. The

DRESSING AND SHIPPING POULTRY.

In reply to several queries in relation
to preparing and shipping poultry for
market we cannot do better, perhaps,
than give the directions of one of the
leading commission firms of New York
to their patrons. They say: To insure
they highest market prices for poultry
the birds must be well fattened; crops
empty when killed nicely and well picked
and skin not broken or torn; thoroughly
cooled, but MT frozen. Pack in boxes
with layer of clean straw ryc straw is

TO TELL THE WEIGHT OF A HA1srAc,

TO TELL THE WEIGHT OF A HAYsrAcK.
To ascertain the approximate weight of
of haystack an English authority says :
Multiply the length of the stack by its
breadth, and multiply the result by its
height, all in feet, divide the product by
twenty-seven, which will give the num-
Der of cubic yards; this multiply by six,
If new hay; if oldish, by eight or nine,
and the product will be the weight in
stones. In measuring the height deduct
two-thirds CT the distance in feet from
the caves to the top.
