CALLS on nonsrs, snorLprrs.

The work on "A harvesting machine
is more severe on the shoulders of n
horse because the tongue of the ma.
chine will disturb tho collar and make
1T press on new place. The best
wash for such Il sore when it is formed
is salt and water in which some alum
has been dissolved. On no account
put grease of any kind on the sore.
This sOftens the skin and makes the
break larger. Make two thin but
broad pads for the collar, one Just
above and the other below the sore.
This will make the collar press on n
different place, but these pads should
be watched and replaced if they get
out Of place or form in lunches.
Whenever horse has been CALLED the
team must he stopped frequently and
backed, SO NJ to allow the collar to

the collur III eased several times dur
ing each fore and afternoon, and is
removed entirely while the horse is
eating during the noon hour, n tough

THE MILK TESTER.

The English agriculturist is SLOW TO
take advantage of modern scientific
discoveries and inventions. Even
the cream separator, the principle
and utility of which arc universally
understood, has not yet come into
general use iii this country. As for
the milk tester, Its very name is nm
known to thousands of British
farmers. Yet the value of this simple
and Inexpensive appliance to every
one who owns milch cattle is incnl
cula|le, and Its employment is doing
more to advance the dairying in
dustry in America aud elsewhere than
perhaps even the separator itself.
Mere quantity of milk does not give
any clue rs TO the butter-producino
capabillty of COW. But by the tester
the percentage of butter fat i'm each
cows milk is ascerthined, with hardly
any lnbor and with absolute accuracy.
before the milk is poured into the
common receptacle for buttcr-makiny
purposes.
The dairyman who has no tester
merely knows the quantity of butter
his cows produce in the aggregate; he
has no clue rs to the value of each i'm.
dividunl COW in the herd. With the
tester, on the other hand, he knows
exactly how much butter each indi.
Nidunl COW produces from every Gallon
of its milk. by this means he is en-.
abIed TO Gull his herd. replacing poor
butter producers by good ones. The
poor cow costs just as much for food
nnd attention MS the good ones. but
the annual monetary returns OF the
two animals show wide margin Of
difference. Moreover, a good hutlrr
COW produces good butter stock. aud
so, from hi, knowledge acquired from
tho use Of the milk tester, the breeder
Of dairy stock is enabled TO select the
proper calves TO rear aud tho proper
ones TO reject.

BRAIDS.

The utility of braids rs n trimming
is fully demonstrated on the import
ed and domestic garments of this sea-
sons manufacture. Jackets with braid
trimming in military designs are not
only exceedingly tasty, but are sure
to be sellers. Fancy capes, with rows
Of heavy woven braid the entire
length, is one of the latest styles
shown. Other uses of braid point to
n universal demand for the same to
take the place of the bias velveteen.
There is no denying the advantage Of
the former, rs the wearing qualities
are three times greater. The best
style for such use is narrow braid with
cord edge.
The cord edge will give service
which will outlast the bias velveteen
many times, besides it is much more
handsome article. Some of the best
buyers hail this change with delight,
for they have got heartily sick of the
other article, and the constant com
plants which customers make.-The

QUEEN wILHELMINA's AUTOGRAPH.

When young Queen Wilhelminn
visited the other day the marvellous
vaults at Maestricht, which are one of
the sights of the place, she was re-
quested by the. authorities to lnscribe
her name upon n marble slab i'll the
wall, which bears the signatures of
many other soverei8ns, Dutch and
foreign, prominent among them being
the autograph of the first Napoleon
Just at the very moment when she was
about to comply with the request three
tiny gnomes sprang out from behind
n pillar and exclaimed, i'll accordance
with time honored custom:
"Who are you that dares add your
name to that of William the Silent and
of many illustrious rulers of the
Netherlands"
Queen WilhelmIna, who had been
prepared for this little piece of pan
tomime, replied:
az am the daughter of this King
William ILL.,. whose signature you see
here, and his successor to the throne
of Holland" whereupon the gnomes-

occasion-bowed low, received some

In fact, at some of the great English

SHE DEALS IN DERRICKs.

Derricks are prosaic, but profitable,
us Mrs. Henry ID. Cram, of Boston,
has demonstrated. For several years
Mrs. Cram has devoted herself to this
business, which presumably offers few
attractions to the feminine mind, and
has amassed wealth therefrom. Now
she has made arrangements to furnish
the derricks and paraphernalia to be
used in the erection of all the build
ing, which will be of stone, at the
Paris Exposition.
There will be seventy-fve derricks
in use, and Mrs. Cram will go over
and personally superintend the plac-
ing of them. 1t may be satisfaction
to woman to know that Mrs. Cram
will prove n fitting representative of
American business women. She is
good looking, cultivated and refined
and wears becoming costumes. What
