The Farm Dairy.-Which is better.
for every farmer to have a small dairy
connected with his farm, or for the
whole industry to be carried on by
men that devote their whole efforts to
dairying? The question perhaps Is
not an open one, as the farmer natural
ly falls into keeping a few COWS with
out anyone suggesting it. But these
few poor and poorly kept cows can not
be fairly called a farm dairy, in the
usual acceptatiOn of the term. By a
farm dairy we mean enough COWS, and
good ones, to warrant having proper
appliances for the work, such as milk
house and small separator Certain
ly every we'll ordered farm should have
a we'll ordered dairy, with cows that
are carefully selected, carefully tested
and carefully handled. A good sized
dairy is needed both to make handling
the products advantageous, and also
to produce a large quantity of manure
for the farm. 1t seems to be obvious
that dairy of this kind on many
farms will be more advantageous to
the community in general than fewer
but larger diaries.

To many people Spring and its duties
mean an aching head, tired limbs, and
throbbing nerves. just as the milder
weather comes, the strength begins to
wane, and "that tired feeling is the
complaint of all.
The reason for this condition is
found in the deficient quality of the
blood. During the winter, owing to
various causes, the blood becomes
loaded with impurities and loses its
richness and vitality, Consequently,
as soon as the bracing effect of cold
air is lost, there is langour and lack Of
energy. The cure will be found in
purifying and enriching the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the greatest
and best spring medicine, because it is
the greatest and best blood purifier,
1t overcomes that tired feeling because

grounds for consideration, as to wheth-
er separated milk is really the worth
less stuff that some persons believe 1t
to be- It is not alone in Ireland taat
the use of separated milk for calf and
pig feeding is decried. In England a

something beyond mere good luck that
brings success to the five farmers.

Few women Saw the joke.

1t is related of an English judge, now
gone over to the majority, that when
ever woman appeared as witness,
after asking her age, he used to go on,
with a malicious twinkle in his eye:
Now, madame, you swear to speak the
truth and the whole truth. What is
your name? What is your profession ?"
The stress laid on the word now"
and the tone in which it was uttered,
had the effect of convulsing the audi
tors, but it is on record that most of
the witnesses never seemed to per-
ceive the little joke at their expense.

In this ago Of burlesque and ballet
girls when farce comedies are plentiful
w supplied with high-kickers and

are expected to trip the light fantastic

inference Is that they secure their first

dancing schools, after which they are
prepared for the stage by persons who
make business OF that sort Of thing.
But many dancing girl will tell you
that her first school was the sidewalk

MILK Ms n Restorative.

Many persons have never given milk
a fair trial; by which mean that they
have probably either consumed it has
tily, or been in the habit Of drinking it
cold, and, most likely, have therefore
suffered from headache, indigestion,
and perhaps sickness. Now, as milk
is such powerful restorative and slim
ulant in cold weather, it is worth while
to try to accustom ones self to slipping
it slowly, and drinking it as hot as
convenient, as to any one over fatigued
and exhausted, either in mind or body,
it's beneficial effects will be found to be
more enduring than any alcoholic slim
ulant. Hot milk is of a special value
as restorative for children after a
long walk on cold day. although 1t is
hardly so palatable warm as cold, as it
Is deprived of its sweet taste to an ex-
tent. And here l may mention that
bread and milk, as it is usually pre-
pared for the little folks breakfast, is
not nearly so digestible as it would be
we're the milk served separately in the
same way as tea, and slice of bread
and butter or toast eaten with it. If,
however, 1t is preferred to soak the
bread in the milk, the latter should
never be boiled, only just brought to
the boiling point, for if allowed to boil
it is far harder to digest, and the rich,
creamy taste is considerably lessened
l have lately been told that milk, put
in stone jar, tied down, and baked
for several hours in a moderate oven,
il very nourishing for invalids and
delicate children, and tastes equal to
cream.-Cassell's Magazine.

Spraying Apple Trees.-The Ameri-
can Gardening says: Spraying may be
necessary to save the fruit from scab,
but spraying will not insure fruit-and
good fruit-unless it is supported by
thorough tillage and proper feeding.
Possibly the whole system Of orchard
treatment may have to be changed. If
branches of adjoining rows interlace,
the trees stand too closely together,
and every other one, diagonally, ought
to be cut out to give sun and air to the
remaining ones. Then apply the spray.
For the first application use the sim
pie copper sulphate solution, one pound
to rs gallons Of water, and spray until
every branch and twig is dripping.
Then pillow the ground, and after that
harrow often enough to keep the sur
face fine and mellow all the time.

Hundreds of Grasses.-During the
last seven years the Mississippi expert

different kinds of grasses in an en-

special conditions. These different
grasses have been procured from all
parts of the world-from China and
India, from southern Russia. Turkey,
Egypt, and southern Africa; from Aus
tralia, Brazil, and Mexico, and from
many other countries, but with all our
efforts we have been unable to find
but very few which are really Of great
er value than are some Of those which
have been grown here for many years.

Tomatoes for the Market.-Do not
pick them too ripe nor too green. Ali
should be about the same for ripeness,
or some will rot before the others will
ripen. When coming from long dis
tances they ought to be packed when
they begin to color, and when nearer to
market they should be ripe. Pack in
four basket crates, and pack them as
tight as possible, so that they will not
shake and become bruised. Ship them
of good even size, which will assist the
selling materially.
