Revival Meetings Close.

Rev. Robinson has been conduct
ing a series of revival services at
the Cumberland Presbyterian
chapel, West End, for the past two
weeks. At the beginning of the
meetings the religious element of
that section turned out well, but
the attendance dwindled down
until there were but four people
present last night, and the revival
closed, the cause assigned being
lack of interest.

MILK EXPERIMENTS.

A series Of experiments have boon
conducted at the Illinois Agricultural
Station. at Champaign. IN order to as.
certain the influence of change Of
weather, season and feed on cows, aud
also tho variation In the weight OF the
animals aud of the mix, us well a,
the composition of the latter. The re.
suit OF those experiments has been
published IN Bulletin No. 2l.
IL was found that changes of feed
increased the quantity of milk given
by each of the six cows experimental
with. but practically bad no eilec, up
on the quality.
The quality of milk given aud the
percentage of butter fnt IL contained
varied greatly from day to day, and
even from ono milking to another. 1t
was found that satisfactory results
can be obtained by testing once week
n composite sample of milk from each
cows daily yield.
by weighing tho milk and testing
its quality by tho Bibcock method
once week or onco month, il was
found that the quantity of milk aud
OF buticr-fat for tho cntire period
could be calculated with but little va.
Ration.
Tho milk products varied from
3'oGo pounds TO 7.1G0 pounds; the
estimated butter product from 1873
pounds to 3l4 pounds. Tho highest
per cent. of total solids in any ono
milking was 22 A.; of bu tor-fat, IS.
per cent. This was the milk of "A
jersey COW. Tho lowest Per cent. of
total solids wa'9.1; of butter fat, l.5.
This was the milk of IIos,ein-Fricsi-
an COW.
This report is of great importance
as touching on the point whether the
richness of the produce depends upon
the richness of the food, These cx-
periments tend to prove that the
quantity OF milk is thereby affected,
but not the quality.-[New York

Avoid draughts il you would avoid

Mover use sulphur with grease to
drive away the lice.
Turkeys fed OH corn alone are no.
apt to lay fertile eggs.
Only save tho eggs of the best of

In nine. cases out of ten lice are the
cause of all chicken disease.
Turkeys are good investment il the
stock is vigorous and tho birds heavy.
Ii is not advisable to make any
grain the exclusive food of chickens.
Feed and water the hens regularly
and supply them with grit aud a dust
bath.
One OF the first procaution, to take
to avoid rump-all is to purify the hem
house.
In some parts where hogs are scarce
farmers are following corn-fcd cattle
with turkeys.
A little salt added to moislcned

To gain the best results from geese,
feed but little corn and plenty of

SPRAYING FOR PEACH ROT.


Tho principal source Of infection In
poach rot, Is In tho Inumniiicd fruit
which is often allowed to remain on
or under tho trees. Il. ID. Chester Of
the Delaware station recommends that
all infected fruit be removed from
the orchard a, soon as possible. Early
in tho spring before the fruit buds
begin to swell, spray the trees with a
solution of one pound of copper sui
phatc TO twenty-five gallons of water.
When tho fruit bulls begin to swell,
and again just before they open,
spray with copper carbonate or cop
per sulphatc. As soon as the pcachc.
begin to ripen, spray every five or
seven days. Under favorable condi-
tions of heat and moisture only
eighteen hours need elapsc between
the sowing of the spores upon the UNI
injured surface Of sound peach, and
the visible appearance Of rot at the
point of infection, and In two to four
days the peach will be unfit for use.
A heavy rain followed by warm
weather is particularly favorable to
the fungus, and in such cases the
spraying should b, more frequent.--
