"A cow that is properly fed and prop
erly cared for will stand an excellent
chance of maintaining good health,
Give the birds chopped onions occa-
sionally. They are among the best of
foods and are often preventive against
disease.
Give the growing chicks variety
of food and don't allow them to become
stunted in the first two or three months
of growth.
The hot weather is upon us, aud
there is apt to be more or less vegetable
decay about us. Keep the milk from
coming in contact with the odors,
In constructing buildings for the
dairy have an eye to convenience. Every
needless step that is taken is energy
and time wasted, and both are valuable.
Some farmers, after raising a stock
of beef, kill and sell it at seven cents
per pound, while their neighbor is
marketing his poultry at twelve cents,
and still they argue that there is moth
ing in poultry. What blockheads some
men are.
The cow must have good digestion
and assimilation. 1t is not so much as
to how much she eats as to how much
she assimilates Animals sometimes
eat much more than they properly APP
propriate to the work which feeding is
intended to do.
"A writer on dairy subjects facetious-
ly advises that the bad odors be kept in
one room and the milk in another, as a
help in making good butter. lie don't
say how to do it, but the hint is worthy
the attention of dairymen whose ambi-
ton is to furnish first-class goods.
Ice is by no means necessary in
making gilt-edge butter, says the Jersey
Bulletin. At least three-fourths of the
best butter in the United States is made
without ice. Pure, cold water only is
used. Yet ice is very desirable, when
it can be obtained at moderate cost
"A neighbor whose hens, to the ex-
ASPIRATION Of the farmers about him,
kept laying on when eggs brought
forty cents in the market, while their
hens persistently laid off during the
same season, on being asked how
it happened, revealed the fact that
his hens had pailful of skinned,
perhaps clabbered, milk each daily.
Tho time in churning should never
exceed thirty to forty-1ve minutes All
the fun there is in the operation, and
all the butter contained in the cream,
can be extracted within that period, and
the process may be controlled absolutely
to certainty by proper observance OF
the laws of temperature and the cor.
rect degree of ripeness of the cream.
Careful experiments will aeteFmins

SUBSTITUTES FOR HAY.
a Shortage of Hay Need Not Imply
Shortening OF Stock.

A Shortage of Hay Need Not Imply a
Shortening of Stock.
In prosecuting regular rotation of
crops on the farm, it often happens that
the farmer has too small an area of
land for pasturage and the production
of winter supply of hay to carry his
stock through The rotation usually
goes by fields, of which the sizes and
qualities vary considerably. Then, too.
the supply OF hay is largely dependent
upon the favorableness of the season,
Owing to this and other causes, the hay
supply will often very several tons
from one year to another. This
shortage in the hay crop often induces
the farmer to cut down his stock
proportionally. While it might
sometimes be advisable to do this
rather than to cramp other interests by
taking capital to buy hay, it is certain
ly bad thing to lessen the production
of manure and do away with the home
market for the produce of the farm.
This would be the result if the stock
were reduced. 1t is much better to de-
vote few acres to substitutes for hay.
We have several resources for such an
emergency. There are number of
forage plants that may be sown late in
the season, when we shall be able to de-
termine almost to a certainty what the
shortage will be. Prominent among these
may be mentioned corn, millet, rye and
Hungarian. OF these | am very much
in favor of the corn. 1t may be sown
any time. up to the list of July, in
an ordinary season, with an almost posi-
tive assurance that it will yield heavy
crop of forage. 1t will endure the dry,
hot weather that usually comes in Au-
gust better than most other plants. If
bound in small bundles and stood up in
narrow shocks, it will cure excelently.
1t costs much more to seed an acre
with corn than it does to seed it with
millet or rye, but the yield is so much
greater that the extra expense can well
be afforded. Three bushels to the acre
is hardly enough, unless it is sown
early in the season on very rich land.
IL sown towards the last of June, four
bushels to the acre is none too much

A Remarkable shovlnr.

1t Is estimated that Smiths Tonic Syrup
made BY DR.. John Bull, of Louisville, Ky,
is used in not less than eight hundred thou
sand families. In MANY localities it has en-
tirely taken the place of Quinine, having all
the good qualities of this drug and mono of
its evil tendencies Its use has most ben
ehcial effect on the circulatory system and
mucous membrane. 1t instills life into
these important portions and prevents con-
and allays all feverish symptoms. 1t is a
true anti periodic and will prevent or cure
chills and fever with invariable certainty.
In malarial districts, where colds, fevers,
influenza etc, are common, it is almost a
sacred duty to take Smiths Tonic Syrup
occasionally, as by this means the good
health of the family is preserved.

Last winter | visited many farms
where silos we're in use, and not sim
gle one of the farmers visited could say
too much for this modern method of
preserving feed. Many we're preparing
to build more and larger ones be-
came convinced that good silos were
very desirable, and resolved to build
one.
My silo is fourteen by fifteen feet,
inside measurement, and twenty feet
high. 1t extends from the base
ment story of my barn twelve
feet above the first floor. Ex-
cept the stone wall on one side, which
is two feet thick and eight feet high, it
consists of double walls, separated by
plank joists one foot wide, The outer
wall is made of two thicknesses of inch
boards with building paper between.
The inner wall is sheeted and plastered
with water lime, just as | would plaster
a good cistern. The stone wall is also
plastered in the same way. A door ex-
tends from top to bottom. This is
made of inch boards, six inches wide
and one inch thick, and is also doubled
The inner door is single and will
become very tight with the swelling Of
the moisture; the other one is made Of
two thicknesses of boards and paper
sheeting between. must say that | am
very much pleased with my silo. 1t is
we'll built, and cost me only $126. IS,
though ! used $50 worth of old siding
for the inner side of the outside wall.
This silo holds seventy tons of ensilage

CLEANING A CARPET.
Lay 1t on "A Green Grass Flat and Bea
1t as II Lies There.

Lay 1t on "A Green Grass Plat and Beat
1t as II Lies There.
Perhaps the most thorough way to
clean carpet, especially a Brussels
carpet, is to lay it on a clean grass plat,
face down, and beat it as it lies there.
After being beaten thoroughly it can
bo dragged by the corners over the
grass, which will brush off all adhcring
dust, and the carpet will be cleaned in
the most approved manner TO beat a
carpet on line is but an imperfect
way, and the work is not as well done,
unless By the most patient beating, be-
sides not being as easy as the first mem
toned way. The so-called carpet beat
ing machines in use in this country,
are barbarous in their treatment
OF choice floor coverings. With,
perhaps, twenty others, our carpets are
tumbled about in great cylinder, I'M
til they are folded in thousand ways,
and returned, instead of the stiff, firm
carpet sent out, soft, limp articles, that
have lost half their wearing qualities.
In England, Ireland and Scotland the
prudent housewife compelled the carpet
heaters to discard the rotary carpet de-
stroyer, and automatic beating ma
chimes are now used, which beat car
pets as near like hand-work as is posi-
BILE for machinery to do it. If living in
city, it will pay to employ men to
take carpets out into the country and
beat them, as above described. After
comparing results, carpets will never be
beaten by machinery again.
Again, don't let carpets be cleaned on
the floor, as is being practiced in some
cities. That Shiny compound that is
brushed on the carpet is only soft soap,
nothing else, colored and perfumed,
perhaps, with sassafras. 1t is true that
it makes the carpet look clean, but it is
well known that more or less of that
soap stays in the back of the carpet
having worked its way through, along
the sides and in the corners. A physi-
clan, or any one versed in chemistry,
knows that this soap which stays in the
carpet is resolved into common grease,
attracting myriads of flies carpet-bugs
and insects of all kinds, besides decom-
posing and filling the rooms with dan
gerous gases, from this disgusting COM
pound of grease, wool and dirt-Mrs.
Jules Doux, in Good Housekeeping.

Raising Hogs.

Hogs are uniformly profitable under
the management of some men-often
under a system that uses ashes as diet
hard coal as aid to digestion-sulphur
-carbolic acid and dozen other things
that are thought to contribute to a
favorable sanitary condition. We
sometimes are inclined to smile at this
aggregation of remedies or preventives
and to say that it is impossible to know,
when so many things are given, which
is valuable, but does not all this admin
istering of various articles disclose the
real and true cause of immunity from
disease? Is it not the unremitting atten-
ton of the owner? Seeing his stock
often, affords an opportunity for fore
Sailing unfavorable conditions. In

Controlling Sex,

The theory that now appears to be
more generally believed in than any
other is, that every successive ovum
that is produced or reaches maturation,
is of the opposite sex from that which
Immediately preceded it. If this is
true, by serving on the second heat
after the birth of an animal we may Sc
cure the same sex as the previous fetus
Some persons believe that this can be
relied upon in many cases. 1t may be
that this may have something to do in
controlling the sexes, but it is quite
cetain that no one influence controls
the matter in different animals Nat
ure has wisely provided in order to
preserve an equilibrium of sexes that
their production should be placed and
determined by variety of causes. All
rules adopted by breeders fail sooner or
later.
1t may be we shall in time discover
the circumstances under which these
various causes operate, so that we shall
be able in many cases to produce the
sex desired at will; but at present we
know no more perhaps on the subject
than was known to the ancients. In

RUINS IN MEXICO.

Discoveries Recently Made In the Vicinity
of Vera Cruz.
Charles E. Brown, young electrician
who has recently spent some time in
Mexico, speaking of Mexican ruins to
some acquaintances, said: IF the
amount of money and study that has
been bestowed on Egypt Italy, Greece
and other old countries were devoted to
Mexico, archaeology would receive a reg
ular boom. A few weeks ago extensive
ruins were discovered in mountainous
district in Vera Cruz This part Of the
country has never been scientifically ex-
plored. Among the ruins discovered
we're buildings four to five stories
in height Resemblance to the
Grecian architecture were shown
by the windows, cornices and
bases. The latter have relief fig
ures and are frescoed in different colors,
which appear as fresh as the day they
were put on.
"All sorts of figures were found in the
ruins. and a number of marble slabs
covered with Aztec hieroglyphics are
set in the structures. Not far from this
district an old Aztec temple has been
found. Ii is occupied by a solitary
priest. who is said to be over hundred
years old.
The news Of these valuable discov.
cries will probably attract scientists
Expeditions will undoubtedly be sent
there. 1t is thought that key to the
mystery of the original settlement OF
Mexico may be found in some such place
as these ruins in the mountains Of Vera
Cruz"-Chicag0 Tribune.
