MILKING MAna1srs

There is no practical milking ap-
paratus made or used at present. All
attemptsto make any such have failed.
The cows udder is hardly such me-
chanical contrivance as to become a
machine to be manipulated by any
power except that of the hand of an
intelligent person. 1t will probably
be as easy to feed COWS by machinery
as to milk them iu that way. The del
lcate membrane that lines the milk
ducts cannot Withstand the rough
touch and usage of n machine. In
certain cases, when the milk must be
drawn in some other than the usual
way, the silver milking tube is the best
substitute for the human hand. This
is first creased with vaseline or sweet
oil and then gently pushed into the
teat, after the milk has been started
by gentle rubbing of the udder. The
milk flows from the tube then until the
ndder is exhausted. New York Times.

A CHEAP oIsrERN.

A Pennsylvania farmer tells the Ma
tional Stockman how he built cheap
cistern. He struck circle even feet
IN diameter and dug down three feet,
then another circle one foot less in
diameter and dug three feet farther
and broke down the sides to slope !;
then with a five foot circle he went
another three feet and cub away again,
making the cistern in the form of a
jug. The sides and bottom were
plastered with cement directly upon
the clay, and the top was arched over
with brick packed up with sand and
cement, and tile was put in to serve
as an overflow pipe about eighteen
inches from the top. AS the average
diameter would be little more than
six feet, it would require nearly seven
barrels of water for each foot in depth
below the overflow pipe, over fifty
barrels when the water was seven and
one-half feet deep.
His figures for the cost were: Two
days labor, 80; one-half day of mason,
81; two barrels of cement, so. so; 400
brick, 50. 40; total, $3.50. 1t has been
in use ten years and is as good as ever
excepting near the top, where he al
lowed it to freeze, and the cement
cracked and pulled OFF, which could
have been prevented by covering with
straw or other material.

ALuMINuM HoRsEsHoEs

The Smithsonian Institution and the
Geological Survey at Washington have
received information of the discovery
OF immense deposits of very rich alum
mum ore in Alabama. This is SO easily
worked as to give hope that the price
OF aluminium will be greatly reduced.
This is of some intere st to farmers, as
many tool can be made of aluminium
to advantage, and particularly it has
been discovered that aluminium horse
shoes are much superior to those made
OF steel or iron. In making these the
aluminium is first cast in bars about
.one-half inch square, then hammered
to make perfectly hard, and formed
into shoes. These, it is said, will not
wear smooth, and can be reset several
times, lasting much longer than the
present. SIZE, and it is also claimed,
Mt the present price, shoes made of it
will be cheaper in the long run than
those made of steel or iron. American

Sweet potatoes should be dug when

An ill-fitting collar hunts n horse lust

Sweet potatoes keep better if they
are dug before the vines'are killed by

Almost all extractedlhoney will gran

Granulation not only improves the
appearance of honey, but makes it a
purer sweet.
In order to retain its color,and flavor
butter should be packed SO as to ex-
clude the air.
Frames of combs that cannot be
made perfectly straight should be
melted into wax.
Weeds that are nearly matured should
be thrown in heaps and burned SO as to
destroy the seed.
The point is how, to increase the
quality of your farm products without
increasing the cost.
The apiary should he kept neat and

One of the great advantages of fall

Later on You can go into the business

Count your chickens frequently and

if you can find one.
All hives and frames used by the
bees should be thoroughly cleaned mp

sPRAINs IN HORSES.

No matter how slight a sprain NAV
appear, it should be carefully treated,
and the horse given complete rest.
Rest is just the very thing that most
owners are unwilling to allow, unless
the animal is absolutely broken down
and unable to move. A sprain of the
tendons, especially if at all severe,
calls for prolonged period of rest,
even after all symptoms of Iameness
have passed away.
The object treatment in the first
stage of sprain is to keep down or re-
duce inflammation and to preyant ex-
udation or swelling. The shoe should
be removed at once, before the limb
has got SO swollen and tender as to
make putting on another matter of
difficulty, owing to the acute agony
handling gives the animal.
The next thing is dose of physic,
which tends to prevent fever and keep
down misunderstanding magically
in this and other cases of lameness.
The animal should be secured in DO
sition to discourage movement, and
either hot lamentations or cold astrin-
gent lotions should be applied con-
tinuously. There is, perhaps, some
difference of opinion as to whether
cold or heat is best, but whichever is
adopted must be kept up continuously.
For recent injury, without much
swelling and contagion, cold is per-
haps preferable, but if there is much
pain and swelling, relief is most
promptly afforded by hot water.
If slight lameness continues or there
is thickening OF enlargement, it will
be the best to blister; indeed, it is
seldom bad practice to blister after a
sprain, as it at least insures a pro-
longed rest.
Great caution IS necessary in taking
the animal into work, and if there is
any change of the limb now standing
it should be fired.
A case of breakdown means months
of enforced idleness, generally perma-
nent deformity, unftness for fast
work, and, in some instances, incur
able lameness. New York World.
