MILK WITH DRY HANDS.

The practice of wetting the hands
with milk is a nasty one, and is, more-
over, much more likely to make cows
teats sore than is milking dry. Both
bag and teats should be brushed or
wiped clean with rag used for the
purpose, and this will remove the small
bits of dirt or other offensive matter
that are usually found on COW after
she has laid down all night. Ii any of
these get into the milk pail no after
straining will make the milk what it
ought to be.-Boston Cultivator.

PROTECTING CORN AGAINST CROWS.

Probably the best way to protect
corn against crows is to tar it, says the
Massachusetts Ploughman. Take q
half-bushel basket in which place q
peck of shelled corn, pour over this
enough boiling hot water while stir
ring it well to moisten and warm the
whole. then pour on half pint of
Carolina tar and stir till every kernel
is tarred, then springle on some air
Stacked lime or plaster of paris, and
stir till the tar is covered SO as to be
easily handled. Crows will not pull
up much of this corn and they like
the flavor of the tar.

Ladies' who do a great deal OF sewing
frequently suffer great deal from sore
ness of the mouth and lips. and are
often at loss to ascertain the cause Of
the trouble. Halt the time it is simply
the result of biting off thread instead OF
using pair of shears for cutting. In
the case OF silk thread the danger is
quite marked, because 1t Is usual TO
soak the thread in acetate of lead, part
ly TO harden 1t and give it good sur
face, and also, perhaps, to increase its
weight somewhat. If this practice is
followed regularly and very much silk
threat is used the results may be quite
serious and even lead to blood-pois-

WHY HENS EAT EGGS.

The animal body is sustained by
food, and whatever product may be
desired from any animal the material
required for it must also exist in the
food, or first the animal becomes ex-
hausted and the appetite Graves the
necessary food, or it becomes diseased
and dies in time. Eggs contain sey
eral special elements, as sulphur, nitro
gen, and, in the shells, lime to larger
proportion than in the fowl itself. Thus
the food of a hen which is producing
eggs, equal during the productive sea-
son to more than the weight of her
whole body, must contain every ele-
ment needed or the body wastes, and
the waste produces an instructive crav-
ing for the missing food. To supply
this the hen eats her eggs, just as dur
ing times of starvation animals, and
even human beings, have eaten their
own offspring. The food required for
q prolific hen should contain sulphur
and lime especially, with abundant nj
trcgen. And thus the best food ad-
dition to the usual grain must be flesh
of some kind and bones. These are
most conveniently procured in the soft,
fresh bones from butcher, broken
small and given with what flesh may be
adhering to them once a day during
the egg season. New York Times
HETEROGENEOUS FEED FOR LAMBS AND PIGS
If animals fed on such carbonaceous
foods as corn, the amount of fat is not
only greater, but the amount of lean
meat is much less than in animals fed
on more heterogeneous foods, as bran,
linseed and cotton seed. |. 2. Roberts
and g. G. Watson, at the New York
Cornell Station, have experimental
with Shropshire lambs and Poland
China pigs. The lot of lambs fed the
more heterogeneous ration made a more
uniform gain in live weight than the
lot fed carbonaceous ration. Silage
fed with hay to lambs gave equally as
good results as when all hay was fed,
and was cheaper. Four pounds of
maize ensilage proved equivalent to
one pound of clover hay, Lambs fed
on silage drank less than lambs on dry
food, but the silage-fed lambs had SO
much water in their food that they
really used more water than the hay
fed lambs. The results were not uni
form in the growth of pigs where car
bonaceous and heterogeneous rations
were compared. In one experiment,
there was no marked difference in gain
in live weight, and no great difference
in the chemical composition OF the
meat. The results from another ex-
pertinent showed marked difference
in the chemical composition of the
meat, the gain in live weight and in
the relative proportion of fat and lean
meat. The pigs of the heterogeneous
fed lot were larger, longer and showed
less tendency to lay on fat The
livers of the nitrogenous-fed pigs were
nearly twice as heavy at Strengthening
as those of the more carbonaceous-fed
pigs -American Agriculturist.

ATHLETIC ENTERTAINMENT.
A Large Attendance In the Mission
Athletic Club Room.

The first athletic exhibition in
the new quarters was given by the
Mission Athletic Climb last. a
large attendance was present
which behaved orderly and be-
slowed liberal applause upon all
the events Of the evening as they
came along.
The first announcement was a
fOur-round friendly set to between
Gabe Gazell and sport" Ernest
The latter demonstrated that he
knew a point or two about spar
ring and GaZell also proved very
clever men with the mitts.
Another four round set to was
that between Hubert Weiss and
F. Barry, in which some lively
smuggling and clever ducking was
witnessed.
"Shorty" Phillips and Louis
Heder gave very neat wrestling
exhibition, which resulted in a
draw, as the men were so evenly
matches that one could accom-
plished nothing with the other:
George Cumming gave sklil1ul
exhibition of club swinging which
was followed by an exhibition OF
high kicking, by Tom S. Reilly,
Henry Kneisly and Ed Phillips,
and which was cleverly executed.
The latter won, having kicked
seven feet and four inches.
The last sparring match of the
evening was between Claud King
and Robert Mcfarland, in a three
round set-tO.
A badger fight was on the pro-
gram, which was the wind-up of
the entertainment. Max Cmscheid
was chosen referee, but he refused
to participate and the match was
declared off.
This is the first of the regular
exhibitions to be given by this
popular club in the near future.
