KEEP THE COWS CLEAN.

With COWS constant attention to the
cleanliness of the skin is indispensable
to tie 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 rs it should be
the evaporation from the milk, which
collects on the covers of. the. pails:.ie:
which the milk is set for cream, or which
may be gathered upon i shcee-of5.glass
laid over 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 llcp> 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 inseparablc 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 imperccptibly if the skin
wero kept clean and in healthful action
by means Of thorough carding and brush,
ing every day.-Ne'c York Times.

wHrTEwAsu FOR POULTRY HOUSES.

A capitat 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
q barrel; add one half of bushcl of
we'll burned, fresh guicklime; put in
quickly one peck of common salt, dis
polvcd in hot water, and cover the barrel
tightly to keep in the steam while the
lime is Stacking; when the violent cbul-
lition is over, stir till well mixed to-
gether, and, If necessary, add more boil
ing water, so as to have the mass like
thick cream, strain through sieve or
coarse cloth. Make a thin starch of three
pounds of rice -four 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 100
square feet Of surface, and it will last re-
markably well. goes without saying,
that it may be made any color desired -

TO FREsHEN OLD CLOTHING.

The way to make old clothes look like
new is described in the american analyst,
as follows:
Take, for instance, shiny old coat,
vest or pair of pants, of broadcloth,
cashmere or diagonal. The scourer
makes strong, warm soapsuds and
plunges the garment into it, souses it up
and down, ruDs the dirty places, il
necessary puts it through second suds,
then rinses it through several waters, and
hangs it to dry on the line. When nearly
dry, he takes it in, rolls it up for an
hour or two, and then presses it. An
old cotton cloth is laid on the outside of
the coat and the iron passed over that
until the wrinkles are out; but the iron
is removed before the steam ceases to
rise from the goods else they would be
shiny. Wrink les that are obstinate are
removed by laying Il wet cloth over them
and passing the iron over that. If any
shiny places are seen, they are treated as
the wrinkles are; the iron is lifted, while
the full cloud of steam rises and brings
the nap up with it. Cloth should always
have suds made specially for it, as if that
which has been used for white cotton or
woolen clothes be used lint will be left in
the water, and cling to the cloth. In
this manner we have known the same
coat and pantalooas to be renewed time
and again, aud have all the look and feel
of new garments. Good broadcloth and
its fellow cloths will bear many washings,
and look better every time because of
them.

Baikal, in Siberia. Its area of over 5000

PLANTING IN AN OLD ORCHARD.

Orchardists have usually asserted that
young trees would not thrive if planted
the same place where an old one of
he same kind had grown and died OF old
age or otherwise, although nature has
zen replanting her forests in this way
Tor 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 moment to replace old
trees of>any kind with new ones If the
land is old and its fertility cxhauscd,
fertilizers should, Of course, be applied
IN sufficient quantities to insure vigor-
GUS growth of young trees. It's an old
theory that a new orchard should never

Greenland's Ice Cap.

The aspect of these boundless wastes
rolling away in scarcely perceptible I'M
dulations, and in the distance mingling
tho gray of their SHOWS with the gray of
the skies, at first gave the impression
that Greenland was uniform plateau,
sort of horizontal table. The belief now
prevails that the rocky surface of the
land is, on the contrary, carved into
mountains and hills, valleys and gorges,
but that the plastic SHOWS and ice have
gradually filled up all the cavities, which
now show only in slight sinuositics on
the surface. Allowing to the whole mass
of the ice cap an average thickness of 500
feet, it would represent total volume of
100, 900 cubic miles. This sermer suak,
or "great ice" of the Greenlanders, flows
like asphalt or tar with extreme slowness
eastward, while the surface is gradually
levcled by the snow falling during the
course of ages and distributed by the
winds. In the interior of the country
the surface of the ice and snow is al
smooth as if it were polished, looking
like "thc undisturbed surface of frozen
ocean, the long but not high pillows of
which, rolling from east to west, are not
easily distingushablc to the eye.
Nevertheless, says writer in Popular
Science Monthly, the exterior form of the
ice cap has been greatly diversified at
least on its outer edge, where IN many
places it is difficult to cross, or even
quite impossible. The action of lateral
pressure, of heat produced by the tre-
mendous friction, of evaporation and fill.
tration, has often broken the surface into
innumerable cones few yards high, in
form and color resembling the tents o.
an enCampment.

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,
