THE MEDICINAL USE OF EGGS.
1t may not be generally known that
there Is nothing more soothing for either
burn or scald than the white of an
egg 1t is contact with the air which
makes burn SO painful, and the egg acts
as varnlsh, and excludes the air COM
pletely, and also prevents Inflammation.
An egg beaten up lightly. with or with
out little sugar, is good remedy
cases of dysentery and diarrhea; il tends
by its emollient qualities to lessen the in
Illumination, and by forming transient
coating for the stomach and lntestines,
! gives those organs q chance to rest until
nature shall have assumed her healthful
sway over the diseased body. Two, or at
the nossthree, eggs day would De ali

and since the egg is not only medicine
| but food the lighter the diet otherwise
and the quieter the patient is kept the
more rapid will he recover.-Indiana

FARM NOTES.
| Varieties of fruit should be selected sc-
cording TO the climate and soil. The
kinds which produce heavily on clay
soils may not thrive on sandy locations.
| The roots OF dahlias and cannas may be
kept In any place where potatoes can be
stored. Dig up the roots as soon as the
leaves are killed by frost. A dry cellar
is an excellent place for them.
| 1t should be rsmem bered that when the
cows are kept on dry feed alone they re-
quire much larger amount OF water
than when they have the run of the pas
lures or have plenty of succulent food.
All manure should be in a condition to
permit OF spreading it over the surface OF
| the ground evenly, as it serves as mulch

| In view of the hopeful condition of
| trade, advancement in prices and general
| prosperity, il stands hortculturlStS In
| hand to see that orchards receive proper
treatment and the products handled to the
| best advantage.
| The orchard Is an excellent location for
a poultry house. as the hens have range,
and in summer they can resort TO the
trees for sifade. Fruit growers who use
hens in the orchard state that the trees
are protected from insects.
The Hubbard squash may be stored
away In the same manner as the pump
kin. which it greatly resembles. 1t is
one of the most serviceable and esteemed
of all the varieties of squash, and will
keep through the entire winter.

Introduction. There is no reason why
every farmer should not keep bees.
The peach yellow riddle remains I'M

wholly unknown. This is the remarka-
| BILE and deplorable outcome of all the in
designations made during the past half
dozen years by specially appointed ex-
! perts and scientists.
Potatoes should be cooked for swine;
for fattening cattle they can be fed raw or
! cooked when given with hay, meal or
other substances. Wash them for cows
IN milk, and feed about twenty-five
pounds a day. They are not good for
very young cattle or lambs.
Is it not true that one-half the farmers
! feed and care for their stock in such
| way as to make themselves poor in
| few years? one can hardly think they
are trying stock raising for profit, and it
| is not possible tor such 10 keep long out

The Western PiolCnl0n says: If you
have sowed but two bushels of oats an
acre, when next you have a chance try
half bushel or a bushel more and watch
the result. There is no economy in thin
sowing OF oats. The extra bushel will
not cost much. and your reward will be
satisfactory.
The first runners of the straw berry
vines are considered the strongest and
best. Some growers cut away all rum
ners that are late, keeping the beds mar
row. The largest yields. however. have
been obtained from wide beds that have
| been MANFRED and given liberal applica
! tions of fertilizer.
! A good dip for sheep may be made by
sleeping four pounds of tobacco stems in
| flDyxr 1.
! to this add by stirring, one pound of
! flour of sulphur. Dip with the liquid at
about 100 degrees, meanwhile stirring the
| mixture. Dip old sheep just alter shear
| iug and again in the fall.
The demands of the market are for
early matured sheep, as we'll as for
! younger steers and hogs. Fortunately,
this is III line with the growers interests,
! for the earlier the sheep are matured the
| fewer chances they Will have 10 eat their
heads of. A eve which raises two lambs
aud a good wool clip should more than
| pay her way.
Ground for an orchard should be as
we'll prepared for wheat or corn. 1t
| should have natural drainage, If possibl
ii not by deeply filling; trees will
not thrive if the roots are water-logged.
| The young roots will need every aid they
can get from fertilization, as they require
| plant food for good start. a tree well
planted is half grown,
The fact that corn fodder is not equal
to hay does not lessen the value OF the
! fodder Fodder aud ensilage are the
cheapest foods that are produced on the
farm, and they can be so utilized as to
economic in the use of hay. Every
pound of fodder harvested can be made
to do service in permitting the farmer to
keep more stock, and thereby increase
his profits, as we'll as enrich the soil by
| the greater production of manure.
The patrons of creamerieS should not
omit hogs as mediums for converting the
waste products of the butter factories
into something that brings good prices.
The profit derived by those who patron
ize the creameries is largely that which
they bring home with them al the time
of delivering the milk, and the hog is,
| therefore, as useful as the COW in neigh
| borhoods where the milk is delivered di-
rect to the factories
In some sections of the West the root
crops, such as Deets, carrots, turnips, po
tatoes and turnips, are stored Ia large
bins in The barn. They are harvested
| and washed If there is much dirt on
them and allowed TO thoroughly dry.
Next foot of sand, or dry earth, is
| placed in the bln aud then layer of the
roots, the spaces being filled with the
sand, or other material used, followed by
| alternate layers OF roots or sand until the
bin is full. This method keeps them at
an even temperature.
Concentrated foods can be used to ball
ance rations OF hay, fodder, straw or en-
silago. and study OF the proportions of
foods will greatly aid in judioious feed
| ing. 1t is claimed that pound of COT
! tonseed meal is equal to ten pounds of
! hay. There is also balancing in guam
tity, as the concentrated foods, such as
bran, mddlings, linseed and cottonseed
! meal. provide mineral matter which may
