Put on the pail cover, and the water in
the tank will soon be warm enough.
1t is best to have a cover for the tank,
that can be shut down and hold in the
heat that escapes from the pail. The
tube (d) supplies the air to keep the
fire going. The fire of course goes out
when the oil fails, and there can be no
possible danger. A pint of oil, costing
less than one cent, will warm tank of
water. The cost of this apparatus, all
told, is: Pail, 81; stove, so cents; hose,
90 cents. The rest-gumption.
In my own barn we dispense with
this taking out the water in buckets
by having an inch hose affixed to the
bottom of the tank, the hose being
long enough to reach to any part of
cow or horse stable and box stalls.
The pressure sends the water through
the hose about as fast as four cows can
drink; so large pals are set in the
managers, the water "hosed" into them,
and three cows are thus kept drinking;
when one cries; Hold. enoughr' the
pail is set in front of another COW and
the process repeated.
We then know just how much a COW
has drunk, and if she is not ''dry"-a
cow usually drinking about seven or
eight gallons---or drinks little, we ther
know it, and water is again offered her
later on; for if cows do not drink, they
will not give milk long or profitably.-

when eaten, have powerful effect on
the animal economy, causing a mus

in some cases produces the disease
known as ergOtism, in which parts of

In order to understand the 1ife-history
of this fungus, let us start by pre-
suming that one of these dark colored
grains has fallen to the ground and
that favorable conditions are present
for it's development. This may occur
in spring. We soon notice upon it lit

round body at the top (c). If one of
these is cut through and examined we
will see that it contains a series of cav

portion of the fungus (mycelium) now
begins to grow, and rapidly replaces
the seed, and even the pistil of which

gotted seeds, ground with others that
may be good, are very dangerous. If
such get among flour it is injurious to
human beings, and several instances
are en- record in which people have
died from eating bread made from
flour into which ergotted grain had
been ground. Great care should be
taken not to feed it to animals. Such
grain is very readily recognized by its
size and also by it's color.

Dentists have discovered that tartar,
caleareous deposit on the teeth, is
more abundant in persons of highly
nervous temperament than in any
others. The explanation, according TO
an observant dentist, is that persons of
nervous temperament secrete more
saliva than others, and as tartar is car
ried by saliva in solution the deposit in
the case of such persons is unusually
large. 1t is n wcll-known fact that the
nervous condition has marked effect
upon the salivary gland. An oriental
method of detecting crime is to take
several persons suspected of the offense
and require them to chew dry wheat.
The nervous fears of the guilty man

Death OF Shade Trees.

Prof J. c. Arthur, of Purdue univer-
sty, was called to Cleveland to investi-
gate the cause of the death of the fine
shade trees of that city. After two
days study the professor gives it as
his opinion that coal SCOT is the
principal cause of the blight that is de-
stroying so many trees in that city.
The SCOT closes the pores of the leaves
and shuts off their supply of organic
matter, as well as interferes with their
exhaIation of water. Prof Arthur fur
ther says that the water-tight pave
ments are somewhat injurious ana
that the reduction of the water depth
from eight to sixteen feet by the new
err sewers has probably contributed to
the disease of the trees. He recon-
mends the discarding of naples and
elrns and the planting of poplars red
and white oaks and other smooth
leaveA trees which are not so much af.

MAKING VINEGAR.


How to Dispose of "a Good Share OF ths
Farms Apple Crop.
One OF the common uses now made
of the apple crop in many sections is to
convert large portion Of it into vine.
gar. With many farmers this has en-.
tirely superseded making cider for a
beverage, and from the fact that less
care is needed in gathering the fruit it
is found fully as profitable. When
made in large quantities the process
begins as soon as enough apples have
fallen from the trees to furnish a sup
ply.
The apples are ground in mills as for
cider, and the juice may be expressed
at once, but more commonly the pom
ace is kept in watts or hogsheads until
it has fermented and become quite sour
before the pressing is. done. This sour
cider is then allowed to settle and is
run into barrels, but not quite full.
Throughout the fall season these bar.
rels should be kept in the sun, covered
with loose boards as protection to the
cooperage, and the bungs should be
left out until it is necessary to remove
them for the winter. The bungholes
should be covered with bits of thin
netting that will keep out insects with
out excluding the air.
Experience has demonstrated that a
barrel contains about the right guam
tity of liquid, and an open bungholo
gives sufficient exposure to the atmos-
phere for making vinegar of the best
quality by this slow, natural process.
Some dilution with water is often nee
essary where the cider is so rich III
saccharine matter as to prevent it's
turning to vinegar in reasonable
length of time.
Vinegar barrels should be iron
hooped and be kept well painted to re-
sist exposure and prevent leakage.
The natural process will require year
or more of time to produce an article
acid enough to meet the requirements
of the market, but it will continue 10
grow stronger by age, and will admit
of sufficient dilution TO compensate for
loss by evaporation and leakage.
The natural process of vinegar max
ing may be accelerated by occasionally
running the cider from one barrel into
another and thus exposing it for time
more fully to the air. Adding gallon
or two of strong vinegar or little
mother to each barrel of sour cider is
another method. Still another method
is triclkling it down through beech
chips or shavings and corncobs satu.

IN DISTRESS,

The democratic party is in a d.
lapidated state of repair. This dis
tresslng condition is indeed painfully
apparent. Before the late elections
they we're singing n bull by the tail
over all the republican fences, but
now all is changed. That the people
have made the discovery that the
campaign Of 1890 was made by the
democracy on lies, was made mani
fest by the late republican victory in
Ohio. Thus the hope of lying the
next campaign through is shattered.
They are therefore now fioundering
around like a fish out of water. The
spectacle is distressing TO behold. We
know, of course, what it will end in.
Everybody knows that. They will
straddlc the silver question and talk
about q ''tariff for revenue only,
economically administered" Last
year they were bowling for free
trade. A democratic principle is elias
tic. 1t will stand most any kind of
expansion or contraction. There is
one thing the democratic orator can
fall back upon. He can talk about
the "glorious democracy Of Jeffer-
son." He will never tell you what
that was-mystcry makes 1t more
profound. file don't know himself.
Cleveland is the only hope they
have left, and they have anchored
to him. President Harrison will con-

democrats.
