WASHING rnANNFus.

"All shrunk-up and absolutely good
for nothing" said the mother of n
family as she looked over the stock OF
summer fannels bought with the ut
most care and at great expense. "And
the worst of il all is that, say what
will, cannot get my hannels washed
carefully. One Of my laundresses is an
enthusiast on cold water; another has
always regulated her work by the
thermometer, and the third declares
it makes no difference whether the
water is hot or cold, they will shrink
anyhow, and do not think that there
is any wonder that they do, consider.
ing the way they handle them.
''These women, good, careful souls,
every one of them, put the hannels
onto the washboard and literally maui
them and grind them in their efforts
to make them clean, all of which is rs
unnecessary as it is ruinous. Some
times in despair do them myself, and
the consequences ore that they do not
shrink. / use suds, pretty strong, and
with very little sal soda in it, aud
just as hot as /, by any possibility,
can handle the hannels in it, IL il
is nearly boiling, so much the better.
put the fannels in the tub, pour on
the suds, cover them up and let them
stand for fifteen minutes, then tako
them up by belts or collars as gingerly
as possible with my very fnger-tips,
let the water drain from them, dip
them again and repeat the draining
process.
''If there are any particularly dirty
spots, / have soap dissolved in water
to pasty consistency and put q bit
of it on the spots and leave them few
minutes longer. do not rub the
soap in, neither do I rub the fannels.
simply rinse them up and down in
the water, ard this not more than is
necessary to clean them. When
think they will do, 1 lay them where
they will drain until the water is
nearly out, then prepare fresh hot
suds and put them through in the same
way. Under no circumstances would

are hung out dripping, and, if it is
cold weather, they may freeze all they
choose. have had my fine French
fannels brought in so stiff that they
would stand up against the wall, and
1 have some of them now that are
worn to rags that are as soft and PHI
able as the day they we're made up.
Before the garments are fully dry
they may be ironed. Never use partly
cool irons and rub them again and
again, for this is worse than the wiring
ing and squeezing process, but take
an iron as hot as may be without any
danger of scorching, and manage so
carefully that once passing over the
fabric will smooth it. In this way
fannels will last to a good old age and
preserve their original quality intact.

DO NOT pRowN THE PLANTS.

Even in dry weather stagnant water
is injurious to plants, in part because
1t browns them by shutting off the
air just as it does with human beings.
The fine fibres of the root system and
the still finer cells called root hairs,
are both the lungs and stomach of the
plants. They take plant food from the
soil, and oxygen from the air which
permeates the soil. The leaves are in
one sense also lungs, as they take car
bonic acid from the air; but 1t is the
roots which take oxygen as do human
lungs. If the soil is loose and partially
dry, these root lungs can breathe and
do their work but when the soil is
kept well soaked and the air is thus
kept out, the underground plant or
gans fail to work, and soon decay.
Soil which has q loose well-drained
surface encourages root extension, and,
at the same time, admits plenty of air
for them to feed upon. Soil which is
too cold and moist is likewise unfavor.

Food by Chemistry.

Philadelphia has a chemist who be-
lieves that meats of oil sorts and flaw
ors will ultimately be produced in tho
laboratories of the chemist. Says he (:
"Within this century l expect to see
synthetic steaks, roasts and chops en-
tered upon the bills of fare at our
leading hotels and restaurants, and
they will be prepared SO artistically as
to appeal to the sense of beauty as
we'll as to the appetite. At first, of
course, in order to appease the natu-
raj preiudices against anything SO
novel, a choice will be afforded be-
tween the real and artificial; but
eventually the killing of animals for
food will be regarded in all civilized
countries as barbarous. That this is
not an absurd prediction is we'll as
sured to those who have observed what
synthetic chemistry has already done
in exactly reproducing mustard, sugar,
butter, ice, lemon juice and hGvoriny 2
essences, besides madder, turpentine
and many other compounds used ex-
tensively in commerce.

TOO MUCH WASHING.

Now and then as one looks over the
pages of the dairy paper they will be
confronted with the statement from
some one to the effect that flavor can
be washed out of butter, therefore
don't do it; and then the other
fellow laughs and says: 'Listen to
the old fogy." 1t is more than posi-.
bic that there is more than a grain OF
truth in the matter, and butter can be
washed too much and that a compro-
mise can be struck to the advantage
of the two parties.
Not that it is known that butter fats
have 40 flavor, and what is known as
aroma in butter is the result of the de-
composition of the casein and sugar,
legged on" by the albumen, it is seen
that with very cold water and exces-
sive washings, that the buttermilk that
has the flavor in its keeping, could be
so thoroughly removed that the fats
would be practically left destitute of
associated flavor. As it would be i'm
possible to get out all of the butter
milk, the butter would in short time
develop another stock of flavor from
the traces of casein and albumen that
would yet remain.
In usual practice there will bs a suf-
ficient amount of favoring material
left in the butter after two washings,
and as a rule does not impair the flavor.
But this flavor means one thing in one
section, and quite another in a distant
part of some dairy locality. Where a
pronounced flavor is wanted, less wash
ing should be given and full sailing,
but where delicate aroma and bouquet
flavor is sought, more washing and
less salt, and worked down to posi-
bic ten per cent. of moisture would be
the correct "form. Practical Far
mer.

The wars oil tho Nilkmnn.

Dairymen who are in the habit OF
diluting their milk with water have
found out an ingenious plan of circum.
venting the public analysts, Under
the act OF Parliament they can request
that their milk shall be analysed by
the chemists at Somerset House, and
this they now do, Their object is to
gain little time, for milk quickly be-
gins to ferment, and it is not possible
to test with accuracy a deoomposed
fluid, and say what it consisted of be-
fore decomposition set In. DIR. Wynter
Blythe instances n recent case of q
dealer who sold milk diluted with at
least eight per cent of water. He
appealed TO Somerset House, and
after little delay Somerset House de-
clared that there was no evidence of
the addition of water, so that the case
was dismissed, That he had neverthe-
less made no mistake in the matter
DR. Blythe is certain, as the milk had
been subjected TO an Independent anal.
ysis by Mr.. Colwell, who agreed with
him. The only way out of the difficulty
would be for each sanitary authority
to have n freezing chamber, in which
reference samples of milk, etc, could
be frozen and preserved. Such q
chamber would also be found useful
for preserving meat supposed to be
diseased until the evidence on both
sides could be heard by a court OF
justice. London News.

Passing Of the Compass.

The compass may yet disappear from
the sea, says the Philadelphia Record.
The little needle, by the aid OF which
intrepid mariners have for centuries
charted the vast ocean developed o
sudden fickleness to the pole as soon
rs the compass was placed aboard the
iron and steel ships of this age. SO
erratic have been the needles devia-
tious that, without frequent compari-
son with some known standard, the
helmsman would have been afraid TO
trust the instrument as nautical
guide over the trackless waters. For
the first tin q in the history Of naviga-
tion an appliance has been invented
which seems to be absolutely accurate
and trustworthy in the determination
of the course of ships at sea. Lieu
tenant w. II. Beecher, of the United
States navy, appears TO have achieved
this triumph in his delicate and beau
tiful solarometer, the telescope of
which is so hoated upon successive
layers of quicksilver, in q vessel hung
upon gimbals, that the heaviest sea
will evidently be unable to disturb its
dead level. The authorized Govern
ment deep sea trial of the first model
on the North German Lloyd steamer
Weimar will decide the fato Of the old
style compass.

FEEDING TIRE COWS.

There is a great deal being said and
written nowadays about standard ra-
tions for COWS, and much science is
brought into requisition to make those
rations correctly balanced to fit the
physical requirements of the COWS.
Every young farmer who hopes to be-
come successful in dairying should
study such tables and become accus-
toned to the technical terms, so that
he will know just what they mean
wherever he sees them. Having done
this, he should learn the cost of diff
ferent cattle foods delivered on his
farm, whether raised OF purchased.
Knowing this, he should then make
his own standard ration, and when
ever he cannot get the materials fol
making that standard without paying
too much, he must look for substi
tutes in kind and quality.
The ration, as estimated, is most
conveniently the food for twenty -foul
hous for a COW weighing between eigh
hundred and one thousand pounds
This much can be done with books
aud is very useful part of the lesson

COWS. The rations may be most sci-
entifically correct, and fed in exact
proportions, and yet fail to produce
or return the first cost, which should
not have exceeded from fifteen to
twenty cents day per COW. The best
dairymen claim to make butter worth
fifty cents n pound on a ration not ex-
ceediug thirteen cents day. But it
will be seen that when the ration costs
twenty cents, the COW must give at
least one pound of butter day in
order TO pay her board bill and do
much better this, if any money is to
be made out of her.
With a COW in good condition. fat
and fresh, and the ration properly
mixed, the test may be said to have
Just begun. The individual charac-
teristics of each COW are not to be
studied. One will find big eaters and
small eaters, big mixers aud small
mixers, rich mixers and those that
give thin, poor milk. All the vir-
tues, Or all the faults are not to be
found in any single COW. A general
average must be reached. For this do
as little guessing about them rs pos.
sible. Weigh the milk of each COW at
every milking, and test the butter fat
in the milk often enough to learn
what her stan ling is. Now comes
the vital point of how much to feed
her. Having learned this, the work
will not have to be repeated during
her life.
When a ration is made to suit the
standard, then apply it to each COW in
turn. Note the cows weight, and
start with small quantity of feed,
daily increasing it up to the full
amount that she can be induced to
eat up clean. Hold her at this heavy
feed for few days and see at what
point in the increase of feed she re-
turned the greatest profit. If you can
get no satisfactory results, then change
the proportions of ration. If she is
very thin in flesh, increase the fat
forming parts of the ration. Keep ex-
perimenting with the COW until satis-
fed that she cannot be made profit
able, then put her out of the herd.
One good way to determine what part
of the ration to increase, is to first
feed the COW about all she will eat and
then try and tempt her with handfuls
of bran, corn meal, oil meal, or what
ever makes up the ration, to see
which she seems to need the most.
Such tests are never conclusive, but
they often lead to good results. The
point is to study the COWS. Each one
has different nature from the other,
and the only way to make money with
them is to get thorough knowledge
of each one and then treat each in
such manner that she can returnsall
that she is capable of doing To make
money one must have good COWS, we'll
fed up to their extreme limit of profit,
and then make good article of milk,

HOW TO EXAMINE A HORSES HOOPS.

HOW TO EXAMINE A HORSES HooFs.
To examine the hoofs and heels of
your horses, says an eminent veterin-
airy authority, have the shoes removed
before your eyes, examine the "frog,"
look into it closely to see if "thrush"
exists. Have a piece of thin stick, or,
better an old paper knife, pass it
through the center frog cleft, then, if
Thrush" exists, the "nose" will know
it by the smell of the paper knife. If
thrush does exist, have the foot washed
out clean with warm water and car
bolic soap, then dry it off and apply
ealomel. Fix it in the cleft with some
medicated cotton, or raw will do. Re-
peat this every night until O cure is
effected.
Next examine the heels, the inside
heel especially, foI corns may exist,
and now is the time to treat them and
prevent lameness in summer time,
when the roads are hard and dry, and
you have use for every horse you own.
Look for sand cracks and quarter
cracks. Let these have attention at
once, or the dry weather and roads
will open these cracks, creating trouble.
some lameness. Have shoes we'll seated,
SO that the weight of the animal will
rest ON the horny wall of the hoof and
not on the sole. Never allow the wall
of the hoof to be rasped. 1t is wrong.
The outside of the hoof is of a fine,
delicate nature, made up of fine horny
pillars. This outside surface is very
smooth and shiny, although it may
not look so, but when you examine an
unsophisticated colt you will find il
so. The smith will get his rasp on it,
if you do not look out, and then we
have sand and quarter cracks.
Take care that the nail holes are
high enough without being too high
at the heels most especially, for thi

go like a cat on hot bricks. A good
firm clip at the toe is of great service
in keeping the shoe firm, and wheI

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

An ill-fitting harness often makes
the balky horse.
The time to 30 into business is
when everybody else is going out.
Plant food can nowhere be so
cheaply obtained as from barn yard
manure. This is particularly true
when the latter can be had for the
gathering.
Hens are in the best condition to
lay when their crops are empty. Hence
they should be fed sparingly during
the day, but have hearty meal given
them at night.
By using bit that hurts you will
teach colt to dread the bit and shrink
from it. This should never be. He
should be taught to drive up we'll on
the bit and yield quick obedience to
it.
In several comparative trials made
by the Ontario (Canada) Experiment
Station best results were obtained
from sowing turnips in drills twenty
inches apart and thinning to eight
inches in the rows.
Now is the time to be giving special
attention to the rams intended for use
next fall. Keep them healthy and fat,
and if they are given little grain
from time to time they will relish it
and it will help them.
Corn grown for forage OF ensilage
should be planted sufficient distance to
allow good growth of ears, and the
best stage to cut to secure the most
dry matter is when the grains have
glazed, OF dented in dent varieties, or
when newly ripe.
Sunfower seed, it is we'll known, is
good egg producing food for chick
ems; it is also fine food to give the
plumage a glossy appearance for ex-
hibition purposes. The Russian sun.
flower is very productive, and may be
planted in fence corners or out-of-the.
way places.
1t is said that peach yellows may be
largely if not wholly avoided by the
use OF potash-not the meagre 100
pounds per acre, but an application oil
ten times that amount Proof of this
statement is offered in the fact that
peach trees grown on new land are al
ways healthy and vigorous.
A dry COW should be fed well
enough to keep her in good condition,
but not so well as to make her fat.
1t is not to be forgotten that the con,
ditIon of the calf depends great y on
that of the COW, and that this will
suffer before the COW does if the food
is not sufficient to maintain both in
good health.
