Dowra, or doro, is the primitive beer
brcwed in many parts OF Africa in
Nubia and hbyssinia, in Mashonaland
and among the Kafrs. The method of
brewing is much the same in all conn
tries, and is thus described by Mr.. Bent:
Corn is soaked in water and left until
it sprouts little; then IL is spread in
the sun to dry and mixed with IN
sprouted grains; and then the women
pound ir in wooden mortars, and the
malt obtained from this is boiled and
left to stand for two days, and over
night n little malt that he's been kept for
the purpose is thrown over the liquid 10
excite fermentation" In Mashonaland
the women are the chief brewers; in
fact, to be good wife one must also be
a good brewer. The beer is always
made in the fields, and is often very in
toXicating. IT must be drunk as soon
as it is brewed, otherwise IL quickly be-
comes disagreeablc and worthless. A
similar BARLEY beer" was used by the
old Egyptians both as beverage and
in iiba tions 10 their gods. Xenophone
speaks OF bowls of barley beer in which
the grains were foating."-ChambeI's

heaped-up earth in place till the sod is

firmness to the terrace until nature 40
compacts all the materials as to make

There is shown in this cross-section
an excellent point in applying turf to
terraces. The end of the roll is begun on
The level top of the terrace, and is carried
out over the edge and down the slope,
thus giving no open crack at the upper
edge, where an opening is specially
detrimental to the well-being Of ter

be made in this way as where the open
ing comes at the edge, while the results
of the former practice are far superior.

KILLING HORN FLIES.
Instructions Furnished by the Director %
the Indiana Station.

the Indiana Station.
The following bulletin on this sub
ject is issued by the Purdue university
agricultural experiment station:
At this season of the year cattle are
suffering from the persistent biting OF
the horn fly. This fly, which is smaller
than the house fly, congregates in col
onies about the base of the horns, along
up the back and sides, at tender points
about the TANKS and udder, and on the
belly. 8H
This fly sucks blood from cattle, and
so irritates them as no doubt to retard
the laying on of flesh with beef cattle,
and the production of milk by mich
cows. ~
Many substances have been recon-
mended to keep away the flies. The
Mississippi Experiment station recon-
mends two parts cottonseed oil or Ash
oil and one part pine tar. This station
applied this mixture to $50 head, at a
total cost for material OF $500.
Kerosene emulsion has also been used,
spraying it over the cattle with KNAPP
sack sprayer. The flies are killed by the
emulsion if it touches them. The
emulsion may be made by mixing at the
rate of one pint of soft-soap Tor one
fourth pound of hardsoap dissolved in
boiling water) and one pint of kerosene
in IS pints of water. thoroughly whipped
and churned together. ...|#
AT the Indiana experiment station.
we have tried different SUBSTANCES to
keep away the flies. None of these were
effective over two or three days. We
have tested preparation called "Shoc
Fly" which answered very well for two
days. The main objection to this is its
cost, so cents a quart, or $3.50 per gall
Ion in three, five and ten gallon cans.
One quart will do for one application
on about so animals. We have. how
ever, secured fully as satisfactory re-
suits by using a quart of fish oil in which
was mixed about two tablespoonfuls of
crude carbolic acid. Fish oil is 60 cents
per gallon in Lafayette. These liquids
are applied on the body with fiat paint
brush about four inches wide. Fish
oil is especially disagrecable to flies, and
is probably largely used in the special
preparations sold at high prices. There
is one objection to using any form of
tar, in that it makes the hair sticky,
which accumulates dirt, and so gives it
bad appearance.
Stockmen would do we'll to break up
the manure in the pasture whenever
possible, as the flies deposit their eggs
H.,
oped. If the manure is gathered up or
broken to pieces within day or so, and
if remedies to keep off the flies are APP
piled to the cattle, the insects will dis
appear only in the season.

CARE OF IMPLEMENTS.

Now Is the Time to Clean and store
Them Away Under shelter.
Now that the greater part of the sea-
sons work is finished, it will be good
plan to gather up all of the implements,
plows, harr9ws, cultivators, mowers.
rakes, binders and all such tools and
store them away under shelter. 1t is
not only necessary to get them under
shelter, but to store them away in 4
good condition. If left exposed to the
weather considerable damage will be
done by rain, sun, wind and snow. Ii
proper care is not taken in storing
away, considerable injury will be done
TO the iron and steel from rust, and to
the woodwork by decay. The dirt
should all be cleaned off. If allowed
to remain on, as is often done, it will
increase the conditions for decay.
Clean off the dirt of every kind, washing
ii necessary, and then paint well. Lin
seed oil and Spanish brown, red YER
million or red ochre mixed to proper
consistency makes not only cheap
paint but a durable one, and it will
pay to keep the woodwork Of all the
implements and the wagons covered
with it.
Black asphaltum paint is best for the
iron and steel except the working parts
the share and mold-boards OF tn,
piows, the sickles of the mowers and
parts of this kind that need to be kept
bright. These should be well oiled
all over or covered with unsaltcd grease
and then covered with thick white
wash into which q small quantity of
glue has been stirred. This will prevent
rust and save much time in getting the
implements in condition for work in the
spring. N-
The work of cleaning and painting
can be done better now than II any
other time, and the tools will be all
the better for it. Some time IN the
spring can be saved if a little care is
taken in storing them away. Put the
implements like the mower, binder and
hay rake in first, and the pillow, cult
yator and harrow that will be needed
first in the spring, last. This will
save overhauIinG in the spring. If the
tool shed has no floor, put boards under
the wheels and under every part of
the machinery that comes directly
upon the ground.

MUSCLE VS.. MACHINERY.
Facts Showing tho Man Power q Modern
Prime Mover Represents.


What puny thing is muscular power.
whether animal or human, when COM
pared with the vast efforts eXerted now
adays by machinery, was well Illus
trated some time ago by an English
scientist, Sir Frederick Bramwell.
Contrasting galley, for example,
vessel propelled by oars-with mod
ern Atlantic liner, and assuming that
prime movers were non-eXistert, and
that this vessel was to be propelled
after galley fashion, he proceeded thus:
Take the length of the vessel as GOO
feet, and assume that place could be
found for as many as 400 oars on each
side, each oar worked by three men. or
2,40O men, and allow that six men under
these conditions could develop work
equal to one horsepower. We should
then have 400 horsepower. Double the
number of men and we should have 500
horsepower, with 1880 men at work,
and at least the same number in re-
serve if the journey is to be carried oul
continuously.
Contrast the puny result thus OBJ
tainod with 1880 horsepower given
forth by large prime mover IF the
present day, such power requiring on
the above mode of calculation III, 900
men at work and 117,000 in reserve, and
these to be carried in a vessel less than
600 feet in length. Even if it were pos
sible to carry this number of men in
such a vessel, by no conceivable means
could their power be utilized so as to
impart to it speed of 20 knots an hour.
This illustrates how a prime mover
may not only be a mere substitute for
muscular work, but may afford the
means of attaining an end that could
not by any possibility be attained by
muscular exertion, no matter what
money was expended or what galley
slave suffering was inflicted.
Take, again, the case OF a railway
locomotive, in which from 400 TO 600
horsepower is developed in an nipple
ment which, even including it's tender,
does not occupy an area Of more than
so square yards, and that can attain a
speed of more than so miles an hour.
Here again the prime mover succeeds in
doing that which no expenditure OF
money or of life could draw from mus
cular effort.-N. Y. Journal.

races. They are an abomination in the
sight of good landscape gardening; and
as for three terraces, one above an
other-well, words fail me fifty TO
characterize such atrocious mutilation
If the "old sod"
In making a single terrace, it is a
somewhat difficult matter to make n
loose bank of earth remain in place
until the sod is applied, and even after
the sod is in place any pressure on the
top of the terrace is likely to cause the
whole upper edge to slip off. To pre-
vent this trouble, drive two or three
rows of stakes along the extent of the
proposed terrace, and to the upper part
