AGRICULTURAL USES OF BACTERIA.

1t is known that the flavor OF butter
and of different kinds of cheese is due
to various bacterial ferments, and
there is good reason to suppose that q
better product and greater uniformity
would be attained by the use OF pure
cultures OF the species upon which
special havors depend. ] understand
that in this country quite q number OF
diaries are now using pure cultures of
q certain bacillus Bacillus Il of
Conn for giving flavor TO their pro-
duct. 1t is probable that similar meth
DDS will soon be introduced in the
cheese-making industry. A recent
English publication, which have not
yet seen, is entitled Bread, Bake
houses and Bacteria. 1t will. no
doubt, be found to contain informs
tion OF practical value to those en-
gagged in breadmaking.
Agricultural chemists predict that
n the near future cultures OF the nj
trlfying bacteria Of the soil will be
made on large scale for the use OF
farmers, who will add them TO man
ures for the purpose Of fixing the am
monia, or perhaps will distribute them
directly upon the soil Should this

the severer styles are unbecoming well
come the revival OF the softer and
moro airy effects.

There is nothing among the stylish
waists of newer mode or greater prom.
Use of popularity than the grass linen
waists. These are either quite plain
or of figured or plaided material, or
embroidered. The latter are exceed.
ingly pretty, especially when a deli.
cate color of silk shows through the
openwork. In these waists, as in
those OF elaborate lsce-triu med fronts
and ribbon stocks, there is no attempt
to gain the trim effect that formerly
distinguished the summer girl on her
outings. Frills and hounces are to
have their turn at popularity.
Persian designs are entirely new
and among the most attractive of the
spring styles. Cambria batiste, and
even organdie, in bewildering Per1iau
patterns, are the materials OF a very
pretty class of waists, aud will be es-
pecially pretty with the neat dark
suits and favorite trimming OF gold
buttons. On nearly all these waists
are seen the adjustable white linen
collars and cuffs, which are an import.
ant and sensible feature of the coming
summer costume. Stsrched effects are
not in favor this year, simple turn
over cuffs of the same material often
taking the place OF the stiff linen. The
waists themselves are not so suggestive
OF the laundry as was formerly con.
sidered proper, and many OF them
hang in decidedly limp folds.
Swivel and wash silks are returning
into favor as shirt waist materials, and
some of the very newest waists are OF
very thin silk, quite simply made. A
pretty group of new waists were OF
gayly striped silk made with three
plain narrow box plaits in front aud
yoke in back, from which the silk was
brought down neatly to the waist.
There was no trimming. 1t is quite
correct to wear the white linen col.
lars with these, though it is a matter
of preference. The same style is used
IN making silk waists of darker colors,
for the older women. Silk is, of
course, the coolest material that can
be used, and the comtortableness OF
these new waists is doubtless the quail
ity that will most recommend them.
The simplest waists are those made
to order by the ladies tailors. They
are neatly fitting affairs, with simple
plaits in the front and back, and with
them the adjustable collars are almost
invariably worn. Pinks and blues are
the favorite colors. and many fastidi-

WHEN FOWLS HAVE A COLD.

When your fowls have a gurgling
sound coming from the throat they
have got cold, and if checked in time
you will avoid roupY condition later
on. 1t is always best to separate the
ailing bird from the flock, keeping it
IN dry, neat coop. Give the bird
water, with about ten drops of each
nitric acid and sulphur. Wash out
the throat with cotton swsb dipped
IN strong vinegar; this causes the
mucus to be thrown out OF the throat
and nostrils; then force a tablespoon
full OF glycerine down the throat to
alleviate the irritated condition Of the
membrane. Colds are very prevalent
during March and April, and you
should guard against exposure as much
as possible during the period Of the
year when young chicks need the care
OF the older fowls; and the eggs they
should lay will not be lost through
sickness caused by exposure and neg

IS PULL FEEDING EzHArsr1xc2

Some lave an idea that what sensible
men call full feeding exhausts the
vitality and energy Of the COW, caus-
ing her to wear out sooner than she
would on a short diet. Possibly
COW may be overfed, but it will be
difficult to make her eat more than
she needs il fed regularly. starved
COW might gorge herself 70 her injury,
but if fed regularly, on a ration
properly balanced, she will not iniure
herself 10y overeating. As TO ex.
hsustion, IL strikes me that she will
hold out much longer If well fed.
A man on half rations breaks down
much sooner than one on a full diet.
But suppose full feeding does shorten
the term of productiveness, is there
not more profit in large yield for
few years than in q small Weld for
double the time? The small yield does
not pay the cost of production, md
prolonging it only increases the loss.
It used 10 be thought that the way to
get profit from pigs was to feed them
on short ratious twelve months or
more, and then fatten them, but men
have learned better. In Holland no
farmer keeps pigs longer than eight
or nine months. Better feed them
we'll oil the time and no longer than
necessary, to get good profits. Make
them weigh almost as much at eight
months as they used to at twenty.
This is saving feed. and feeders as we'll
as dairymen are finding it out. Do
not be afraid of wearing out a COW by
giving her enough to eat. Keep her
at her best all the time. For mich
cows, nothing is better than new hay
or young clover hay, also good sweet
ensilage, which is much sweeter and
more nutritious than timothy. Over
ripe timothy hay is of little value. 1t
makes POOR meadows, poor cows, poor
milk and poor butter. Mich COWS
should have constant access to water
in the barn. They eat a good deal of
dry food, and must have plenty of
water to help digest it and make milk.
Good feeding and good care cost moth
ing and make a farmer rich. Poor
feeding, dirty barn and poor care,
cost a great deal, and make many
farmers very poor.-Nev England
