REMEDY FOR THE CABBAGE WORM.

There are several remedies more or less effective against the cabbage worms, for there are two species of them, one a green caterpillar and another striped green and yellow. To dust the plants with some cheap flour, as rye or the lowest quality of wheat flour, is quite effective if the flour is sprinkled on the leaves while they are dry, then when the dew is deposited the worms find themselves pasted with the flour and cannot move, or their breathing organs, which are orifices on the sides, become choked and they are suffocated. I find that sour skinned milk poured on the is most effective preventive, seeming to keep off the butterflies when ovipositing, and to kill the worms. These remedies are so simple and easy, that they should be widely known. The milk is a most excellent fertilizer, and makes the cabbage grow wonderfully. I H. s. in Country Gentleman.

PREPARING BIRDS FOR EXHIBITION.

Whenever light plumage fowls are to be exhibited, it is an essential that they shall be washed. It is always better to have two operators, especially for the first time. The assistant should take the bird, holding it firmly by the legs and wings, and place it in a large tub or bath half full with warm water, heated to about 100 degrees, thoroughly spong- ing it all over until it is soaking wet. Next make father by means of nail brush and some good soap. Spratt's Pat ent has recently introduced splendid soap, which can be highly recommended. The bird should be entirely enveloped in this lather, and this completely rubbed into it's feathers, in order that every part of the body shall be reached. The brush can be applied to the wings and feet, taking care, of course, not to break any feathers, and the same time scrubbing pretty well. Next the bird should be thoroughly rinsed with a little cooler water, say about 80 degrees, and finally with cold water, in order to re- move any soap out of the feathers, without which it will never come right again. Then squeeze out as much of the water as possible, dry with soft towel, and finally place in front of the fire to dry gently.-[S. B. in Country Gentleman.

BREEDING STOCK.

In many poultry yards the owner just now will be looking forward to the next breeding season, and there is sug- gestion which may we'll be made, as it is important in order to secure strong, hardy chickens. I find many people make very great mistake. About September or October they buy young cockerel, perhaps not fully grown, and mate him with the hens, although they have no intention of breeding for several weeks afterwards. This is unadvisable, for various reasons. The bird is to some extent weakened before the eggs are set and am sure it is better to give breed ing bird rest for few weeks in a pen by himself. This allows him time to fully develop, and the result will be seen in much stronger chickens.-FS. B. in Country Gentleman.

MAKING BUTT IN HOT WEATHER.

Hot weather Is what tries the butter
 makers metal. It is we'll nigh impos-
 sible to succeed in making a really fine
 article without ice. The next best thing
 is spring of cold water running through | the milk room; next to this is a wind
 mill attached to the well in such a man.
 ner as to have tank of fresh water in
 which to set the milk and cream; next
 is the cool cellar and milk set in open
 pans. Eternal vigilance is indeed the
 price of success in making good butter
 when the thermometer registers up in the nineties or even the eighties.
 In the first place the milk, if set in a creamery or cans of any kind deeper than the common milk can, must be quickly cooled. With plenty of ice this is an easy matter, without it fresh water from the well must be poured into the tank surrounding the milk, after that which cooled the milk has been drawn off, say half an hour after straining, or as soon as the water becomes as warm as the milk. A neglect to do this will re- suit in great loss of cream, and conse- quently of butter. The cream must be kept as cool as possible until sufficient has accumulated for churning. If there is an extra can in the creamery this is a good place to keep it. Exposure to the open air in the milk room--covered of course-will sour it sufficiently in twenty-four hours. It should be stirred frequently during the time to insure it's ripening evenly the same as in winter. There is danger of it's getting too sour, which must be guarded against.
 The churning in summer time should always be done early in the morning so as to get it out of the way while it is cool. A good plan is to start it before break fast. If one of the men can be spared from the chores to do this job it should be so arranged, as with most churns it is pretty heavy work for a woman. If the churn is not filled too full, three- quarters of an hour ought to bring the butter to granules. Then add pint of salt to facilitate it's separating from the buttermilk. turn few times or until 1 the buttermilk will draw off nicely, and l

 The care of milk utensils, as we'll as those for the butter, must have special attention in hot weather. Never put hot water upon milk pails until they have first been rinsed with cold. Never use soap around dairy utensils of any kind. Hot water, pure and simple, is by far the best cleanser and destroyer of microbes. Let all pails, cans, strain CTS, etc., be given good scalding every day. Look out about any cloths in use | about the dairy. See that they are ex- changed very frequently for fresh ones. Rinse and scald them and shake out we'll before hanging up to dry each time they are used.
