When the early pioneers Of Illinois

the sweets of the sugar tree were also to
their liking.
However, the Indians did not make
very much maple sugar. It was too
great u task, and their utensils were
rude, They drew the sap from the trees
and drank it grecdily, and if the sqr1aws

Drying Macaroni.

The drying of the macaroni is the.
most difficult and delicate part of the
manufacture, and depends much on the
state of the atmosphere. 1t is first dried
IN the open air, whether in the sun or
shade, depending on the temperature
and dryness of the atmosphere, perhaps
from half an hour to three hours. The
time also depends somewhat on the size
Of the macaroni. 1t is then carried To
close, damp room to rest, where it re-
mains, perhaps, twenty-four hours. If
theroomis not sufficiently damp, it must
be kept so by artificial means-by
small steam jets or by the evaporation
Of water. 1t is sometimes covered with
cloths during this stage to prevent too
eapid drying. This rest is a retardinr
process, and is intended TO prevent the
surface of the macaroni from driving
too fast, or as fast as it naturally would.
and to allow the interior to harden. If
the macaroni is not put to rest at this
stage, it is liable TO crumble or split
When properly rested, the succeeding
stages OF drying proceed without diff
nculty.-Drake's Magazine.

How Not to Find Fault.

One who was guest at dinner party
given by DR.. Whewell, the famous mas
ter OF Trinity college, mbridge, re-
lates the following: The master was
finding fault, in the presence of the as
sembled company, with an old favorite
servant who was waiting at table, for
some act of omission, when the man
quietly interposed with the inquiry:
Had we not better talk of this. sir.
when you and are alone?' This made
DR.. Whewell look very foolish, and he
afterward said that he felt at once that
he was wrong and the servant right.
This is an illustration of one of the
ways in which we should not find fault.
There are times when most people are
in duty bound to find fault; but their
fault-finding has either no effect at all.
or one the opposite of that which they
intended, so badly is it done. To find
fault well is fine art, requiring a con-
siderable amount of tact, judgment
and, above all, sympathy.-Detroit Free

SHEEP SHEARlNGS.

On the small farm a few sheep kent
well will pay.
CHANGING the pastures frequently
will fatten the sheep.
SWEEPSTAKES are not only prolific, but
they make good mothers.
The utmost care is required to make
sheep breeding a success.
In proportion to their size sheep re.
quire less water than cattle.
KINDNESS to animals is as much a
duty as kindness to fellow men.
A DRY pasture is an essential item in
keeping sheep healthy and thrifty.
SHEEP ought to average a fleece Of
seven or eight pounds to be profitable.
The first cross is often all right, but
the after ones are not so satisfactory.
SMALL flocks thrive the best because
there is less crowding in the pastures
and sheds.
A LOFT high enough so that when the
sacks are hung down a man can get
into them to tramp the leeces dowr
tight is the best arrangement for pack
ing wool for market Rural.

Rid the lambs of Ticks.

Ticks cause many lambs to dwindle
and die. They should be dipped occa-
sionally. The ticks leave the sheep for
the lambs, so that at this time it is
comparatively easy to rid the flock of
these pests There are several COM
mercial dips that are very effective.
Emulsions made of tobacco, buhach,
Persian insect powder, etc, are recon.
mended, but have never known any
satisfaction to result from such dips.
More than one dipping is needful be-
cause a few ticks will hatch from nits
on the lambs at the time of the first
dipping, ana an occasional tick will be
left on the ewes which will find its
way to the lambs. A warm day and
southern exposure should be chosen, as
otherwise the lambs are liable to be
chilled. After the immersion, each
subject should have its fleece squeezed
as dry as possible and be stood for a
few minutes in a small pen with a
iboard floor draining into the dip.-Hol-

RATIONS FOR COWS.
Cheap Feeding Is Not Economical in Any
Sense.

Sense,
Increasing attention is being given to
the subject of food supplies for dairy
COWS. That much depends upon the
quality and character of the food for a
good quality of dairy product as well
as to obtain paying quantity, all must
admit. A writer who furnishes a form
ula says that it has been abundantly
proven that COWS will do better on a
mixed feed than they will on any single
ration, no matter how good it may be
in itself. High feeding-that is feed
ing for the maximum product-can also
be done more cheaply by having a good
variety of food. for with the single ra-
ton there will always be some ele-
ments which will not contribute to-
ward the end for which you are feeding
and so will be loss. 1t is only by
testing different mixtures, counting
their cost and observing the results
carefully, that one can tell just what is
best adapted to his individual use.
One thing is certain, and that is that
cheap feeding is not often economical.
Much cheap food may be used to good
advantage by combining it wisely with
more concentrated food. Even straw
may be used to furnish a good share of
the roughness for the dairy, but straw
fed catt'o alone could not be expected
to make much return. A good ration
but not cheap one-would be as fol-
lows: Ten pounds clover hay, ten
pounds cut straw, four pounds
hnseed meal, four pounds corn meal,
four pounds wheat bran, two pounds
cotton-seed meal Such a ration
would be expensive, costing from twen-
ty to twenty-five cents per day, accord
ing to prices and location, and, OF
course, could only be fed to cows OF
high producing capacity; but the best
possible profit in the dairy would be to
have cows that would justify this and
then feed them steadily to the tor
notch. In such dairy the product
would need to be upon as high plane
as the stock and feeding, and nothing
but gilt-edged butter turned off.-West

STACKING STRAW.
How to Do the Work Properly and to
Good Advantage.

How to Do the Work Properly and to
Good Advantage.
Many fail to get full value out of the
wheat and Oat straw, simply because
it is carelessly stacked and cannot be
used to good advantage either as food
or as bedding, because it is too wet. If
cut at good stage and properly
stacked after threshing, so that it will
keep in good condition, straw makes
good feed, and especially soft fed in
connection with bran and clover hay.
1t makes one of the best materials that
can be used for bedding if dry; but if
wet it often does more harm than good.
One of the most common mistakes made
in stacking straw is that the founda-
ton is made too large, and, in conse-
quence, the stack is not properly
topped out. The use of the stacker has
been the cause of putting the boys to
stacking the straw and the men to get
ting the grain to the machine; and
while the boys may work well enough,
and do the best they can, yet they are
without proper experience in stacking
straw, and the consequence is to some
extent failure.
Good straw, whether wheat or oats,
is well worth the trouble of proper care
and it is worth while to put good man
on the straw stack and see that the
work is done properly.
There is always this advantage in
straw: What cannot be used TO good
advantage in feeding can be used for
bedding, and in this way be converted
into good fertilizer. Stacking it up
carelessly and allowing it to rot down
is securing very little value for it, but
if used as bedding, so as to absorb the
liquid weddings, it makes a valuable
fertilizer Alone it contains but a
small proportionate amount of plant
food, but if properly used as an alb
sorbent it makes one of the best that
can be secured on the farm.
OF course the best plan is TO store
under shelter, but this cannot always
be done on the average farm. yet in
many cases it will be a good plan to
store away under shelter at least suf-
fcient.to use in wet, stormy weather,
when it is difficult to get good, dry
bedding. Use what can be fed to a
good advantage and work the balance
into manure, but save in good con-
dition when it is threshed, in order to
make the most of it. Prairie Farmer.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

MnLET and Hungarian grass make
good winter feed for the cows if cut
early. If allowed to ripen their seeds
the hay becomes of less value.
THERE is only one way to run a dairy
successfully, and that is to make a
business of it. The farm must be an
adjunct to the dairy, not the dairy to
the farm.
SKIM-MILK and young calves and pigs
make a combination that grows into
money rapidly. If the dairy does not
pay, it may be because portion of this
combination is lacking.
In feeding roots in the dairy, cut
them up and mix with bran if you want
to get the most food from both. Put in
as much bran as can be well dampened
with the juices.-Western Rural.
FARM AND VINEYARD says: Never
take a lantern into the stable. Have a
glass window flush with the inside
wall, and box outside with small
door, and Sc. the lantern in this, let
ting the light shine through the glass
window" This is good suggestion.

FEEDING IN SUMMER.
1t Does Not Pay to Fatten Stock During
the Hot Season.


An animal may readily be kept in
good, thrifty condition in summer, but if
made fat is certain to suffer more or less
from the heat and of course will not do
as well as it should.
Generally the better plan is to feed
sufficiently to keep in good, thrifty con-
dition, giving the ration that will best
secure good growth and development
at this time, and then later on when
the animal is more matured a short
time of heavy feeding will be all that
is necessary properly to fatten for
market In this way one may be
ready to avail himself of the early fall
market to better advantage and with
less trouble than in any other way.
Sheep may be fattened on grass SO as
to market them at any time from now
on, especially wethers and ewes.
During the summer, in many cases,
is the best time to market this kind of
stock. Old cows are another class of
stock that, as rule, it is not profitable
to feed grain in order to fatten for
market. They should be put in as
good condition as possible with good
pasturage and then marketed when
this condition has been reached.
But in nearly all cases with vounp
cattle and hogs it will pay to finish with
good feeding of a fattening ration for
at least short time before sending to
market.
But with cattle, as this hot, dry
weather comes on, in many cases it will
be necessary to feed something to make
up what the pastures will lack. As the
weather gets hot and dry the grass in
the pastures will begin to fail, and
something must be given to make this
up. Cut clover, millet, sorghum or corn
can be used. The quantity that should
be given can best be determined by the
condition of the stock; enough must be
given to keep thrifty.
With hogs, no difference how good
the pasturage, some grain or rich slop
can always be fed with profit. This
may be oats, shipstuff, barley, oillneal,
cornmeal or a combination Of two or
three of these made into good slop
with skim milk. Let it stand twelve
hours, taking care not to allow it to
get too sour.
BY feeding literally in this way dur.
ing the hot weather, a short, heavy
feed with good fattening ration is all
that will be necessary to prepare for
market.
Provide good shade, give plenty of
water and let the stock be as comfort
able As possible during the hot weather
and they will keep healthier and grow
faster and be ready to fatten earlier in
the fall.-St. Louis Republic.

PIG-FEEDlNG POINTS.
How to Make the Raising of Hogs n Pre-

ho" 10 MAKE the Raising OF Hogs Prof
liable Industry.
Never feed your hogs more than will
be eaten up clean at each meal.
The slop rations should be such that
pigs will leave whole grain for it.
Know at each feeding-time that every
pig is at the trough.
An over-fed hog soon becomes I'M
healthy. A sharp appetite indicates
health.
Feed them all the properties in their
food the system requires, and they will
in manner forget their natural ten
dency to root, but let them once con-
tract the habit and all the inducements
ever heard of will not wean them from
1t. Do not feed all sorts, sizes and con-
ditions together, but sort and feed in
accordance with the object you have in
view.
Don't pitch the corn over the fence
into the mud because convenient, if
there IS no feeding floor. Hunt dry,
clean place for feeding. A pig will hunt
his corn out of mud a foot deep and
seem to enjoy it, but this is no evil
dence that this is the best way for him
TO have it.
With the pigs on a grass range,
twice feeding each day is the best prac-
tice.
A good grass ration will be found a
wonderful antidote for the mistakes the
owner may make feeding.
An everlasting squealer is not neces-
sarily a thrifty fellow, but the con-
trary.
We would feed on a floor of clean
straw, in preference to feeding in the
mud.
Don't allow the hogs to sleep in wet
beds; they are the foundation of a le-
gion of ills to which the porcine nature
is heir.
Always make an effort to be on famil-
lar terms with pigs. Kindness in lib
eral quantities saves feed.
Feed at regular times, and if properly
fed the pigs will be ready for their
food at the accustomed time.
Corn cobs, charred, make an excel
lent charcoal for the pigs and is easily
made.
1t is poor pig that will not consume
sufficient healthy food to give a curl to
his tail The tail should never be cut
off to save feed, for it is worth more
than it costs, as an indicator of the
state of health of the pig. -Stockman

Bugs and Insects ON Plants.

The destructive agent in Paris green
or London purple, that is so largely
used for putting onto potato plants to
destroy bugs, is arsenic. Some are
using the arsenic in its pure form to
mix with water, says an exchange. 1t
does not take so much of course used
IN this way. One pound to two hun
bred gallons of water is recommended,
that is one-fourth of pound to bar
rel OF water. 1t is suggested that the
arsenic be boiled with little water to
dissolve it, but the more it is handled
and the more chance there is to inhale
1t, the more chance there is for an ac-
cident. Dipping the roots of strawber-
ry ard other plants in a solution OF
arsenic of the strength described, at the
time of transplanting, has proved an
effective remedy for the grub and cut
worm. Farmers Voice. {.

The silo about to be described was
in large barn. 1t was square, Is by
Is feet A stone wall formed the foun.
dation and the walls were of plank.
Strong sills laid in mortar on the foun-
dation sustained the weight of the
structure. The studding was of by los,
and was covered on the inside with a
lining of rough boards. Sheets of tar
paper were put over these boards, the
paper reaching from top to bottom of
the silo. Then the paper was covered
with boards tongued and grooved. The
outside of the silo was covered with
shingles. The owner assured me that
1t was frost proof. The inner lining
was heavily coated with oil paint to
protect the wood The doorway was
quite large one, opening into a drive
way. 1t was kept closed, except when
the silo was being filed. The corn for
the ensilage was cut and hauled to the
silo, and before being put in it was run
through fodder-cutter. An inclined
plane or chute was used in filling thi:
silo, but usually an elevator is pre-.
ferred. This may be changed from side
to side of the pit as desired Every
