Ointment for Bruised Trees.

Mr.. S. D. Willard. in the Rural New
Yorker, states that nothing is better
for covering the bruises on trees than oil
shellac with, perhaps, little flower
of sulphur and few drops of carbolic
acid. which last ingredient should be
used very sparingly. The mixture can be
applied with a paint brush. For the
exclusion of the air from wounds, It is
suggested that a grating wax, made Of
for parts of resin, two parts of bees
wax and one of tallow. melted to-
gether, poured into water and immedi-
ately worked and made up into half
pound rolls, is convenient to have ready
for use. Held in the hands so that it
is softened, small lump of it may be
spread over a wound, and it will re-
main for some time and keep out air
and germs of disease. If the wound is
large the application may need to b.
repeated.

THE PISO COMPANY.

The above is the style of the firm which
manufactures Piso's Cure for Consumption
and Piso's Remedy for Catarrh, at Warren,
Pa. The company was recently lncorpOr-

Cure is now sold for IS cents as was then for
S1.OO.
While the firm has been very persistent
advertiser in newspapers, its aggregate out
SO that the steady and rapid increase in
sales to their present large proportions GER
tainly indicates that Piso's Cure for Con-
sumption possesses high merit as a remedy
for coughs, colds and throat and lung
troubles generally. The pleasant taste of
the cure has doubtless contributed materi-
ally to its popularity.
Growth in business has necessitated the
invention OF numerous labor-savlng ma
chimes. Notable among these are apparatus
for washing, filling, corking and sealing
bottles with which three men easily turn
out GOO bottles an hour. In the advertis-
ing department improved machines in the

place the large reservoir high enough
to make use of gravity as a means of

the water can be pumped direct from

the reservoirs be larger than where they

The principal causes Of Impure milk
are: Impure air in the milking place,
bad food, foul water and filth; and as
they are all causes readily controlled
they are inexcusable. The farmer who
exposes his cows to such conditions has
no right to complain of low prices and
lack of customers. On the contrary, he
should be fined for imperiling the pub
lie health by attempting to place on the
market a tainted article which is liable
to spread disease. If farmers world
only unite and bind themselves to OBJ
serve scrupulous cleanliness in all the
branches of milk production they night
readily double its consumption. The
''cowy'' odor and the black sediment
are the greatest hindrances to the rapid
development of the industry.

NICE, SMALL CHEESE.
How 1t Can Re Made on the Faffp foi
Family Csc.

How 1t Can Re Made the Faif0 for
Family Use.
Nice, small cheese may be made for
home use in this way: The milk OF two
cows may be set at night in deep pail
IN cold water. This will check the
rising of the cream. The morning
milk may then be mixed with the milk
of the previous evening. after it has
been warmed to the same heat as the
new milk. The rennet, of which one
ounce is enough for 100 pounds of milk
and 10 pounds of cheese, is stirred in
the warm milk in proper vessel. This
is covered and left until the curd is
made, and becomes tough enough to be
lifted with theufnger. It is then cut
by a long-bladed knife into squares
of an inch, SO as to iberate the whey.
When the whey has partly separated
it is dipped off by means of shallow
dish without breaking the curd. The
whey is then heated to 100 degrees and
is poured on to the curd, which is COW
cred to keep in the heat. After half
an hour the curd will become tough
enough to lift without breaking, when
the whey is all drawn off and the curd
is broken up with the hands and
heaped to permit more of the whey to
drain off. This will take up half an
hour. The curd is again broken and
the whey carefully pressed out by
hand, so the cream may not escape.
1t is then left another half hour,
when it is again broken and sailed at
the rate Of two ounces of Underground
salt to seven pounds of curd, and is
placed in a wooden hoop or mold, lined
with q clean cloth dipped in the whey.
The curd is pressed into the mold firm
~, and needs no weight or pressing.
When it has settled in the mold, it is
taken oat in the cloth and set on a
board and turned once a day until it
has formed crust. 1t should then be
rubbed with butter and turned oc-
casionally during the curing, which
| will require two OR three months in a
temperature of about 60 degrees.-N

Skim Milk for Calves.

There is an impression with many
farmers and dairymen that skim milk
is a rather thin diet for calves; and we
see constantly in the dairy papers rec
concentrations that it should be rein
forced with faxseed meal or jelly made
from the ground seed or cake. So far
as oil or fat is concerned, says j. Nc
Lain Smith, in the Farmers Home
Weekly. this addition is all right. But
faxseed. and especially the ground
cake, is exceedingly rich in protein;
and this is just the trouble with the
skim milk 1t is deficient, not in pro-
tein, but in carbohydrates-fat and
starch. The best single addition to
skim milk for calves as soon as they
can eat Is corn or oats.

constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces Of the

Of the disease, and giving the patient

is the practice of this school to place at the

without previous authority of the executive

which this money has been expended in tie

that it be discontinued. The csnlmittee ex-

their perfume may rise deliciously to
