The Milk Pail.

One or the greatest causes Of milk po-
tuition in the common farm dairy is
the milk pail. Only the most advanced
dairymen pay sufficient attention to
this utensil. Wooden buckets and even
paper pals are used for the purpose of
receiving milk at milking time. Both
or these easily become saturated with
the acids formed from the milk, and in
short time, though they may appear
clean, are absolutely worthless, if it
De desired to keep the milk in proper
state. The wooden pail can be washed
and scalded, but the wood pores retain
that which will not be loosened by or
binary hot water. But in many cases
even no extraordinary attempts are
made for their cleansing. With the
paper pail it is even worse. Those
pals are stiffened by rosin and if they
be subject to very hot water they will
become soft and easily fall to pieces.
We have seen more than one of these
pals ruined by carrying boiling water
in them. So when they are used on
the farm and in the milking stable they
are only treated with tepid water. RMS
cannot cleanse them properly. In a
short time, also, if they are washed
much the paint comes from the inside
and the bare rosin walls are laid bare,
which tend to impart to the milk very
disagreeable flavor. That they should
be abandoned there is no question. Tin
pals, if properly kept, are alone suit
able for this work. A white iron pail
is preferable, as such pals can be got
that have no creases in the bottoms,
the whole pail being run in a single
mould. There are also no creases in
the sides. The only crease is at the
top where the pail is rolled around the
wire that runs around the top. There
fore, the whole pail can be kept clean
easily. If it costs more than the others,
the cost is soon offset by saving in
work OF cleansing, to say nothing about
the better condition in which the milk
is kept. A proper attention to the milk
pail will pay we'll.

Medicines for Pear Blight.

sThe idea of introducing medicines
of some sort into the sap of the tree to
kill the germ of pear blight is not new"
says E. c. Powell in National Stock
man.
Every once in while it springs up
somewhere through an advocate VINO
thinks he has discovered it. Just now
it is having it's innings in the Rural
New Yorker through the original lnVes-
LEGATIONS of an Illinois fruit grower.
He had some pear trees which were
blighted badly, and undertook to cure
them by introducing medicines through
the roots. A hole was dug near the
tree and root secured as large as
ones finger. This was cut off and IN
troduced into a large bottle containing
the desired remedy, the neck OF the
bottle stuffed with putty, and the whoie
thing put under ground again. one
tree was killed by using too strong
substance, and another was supposed
to be helped by using a weak solution
of corrosive sublimate. But this tree
which blighted badly last year was
saved by the vigorous use OF the saw
and knife. Undoubtedly all the blight
was cut out, and the use of the corrosive
sublimate proves nothing. 1t is not
along this line that any remedy may
be hoped for. The use of strong
spray of Bordeaux mixture in early
spring to kill the blight germs will
prove of much more help. A careful
and thorough pruning out of all affect
ed parts and burning the same at once
is the only way to prevent the spread
of the blight. Feeding the tree with an
abundance of potash and phosphorlc
acid and not too great an amount OF nj
trogen, to develop hard, close-grained
wood growth, where the cells are strong
and hardy, will also be of advantage.

Flowing in the Fall.

While the character of the soil must
III measure at least be considered in
determining whether or not land in
tended to be planted to crops in the
spring should be plowed in the fall,
writes n j. Shepherd in Nebraska
Farmer We have been trying the plan
for several years and with our soil and
under the conditions that our farming
is done, find it quite an advantage.
With all crops in the spring we find we
are able to get the ground into good
condition for the reception of the seed
with considerable less work than if the
powing was deferred. Then it is pos
sible in nearly all cases to get the
planting done earlier, and this here is
quite an item. Here with nearly every
crop it is the early planting that gives
the best growth and yield and we find
it profitable to take every advantage to
get the seed in early. If the ground is
plowed deep and thorough and good
drainage is provided in the fall the
ground will dry out easier and warns
up quicked than if left undisturbed.
This year both with oats and corn those
who were able to get the seeding done
early raised good crops OF both, while
the late seeding of both crops were
nearly failure. We find it an adj
vantage in getting the most out of the
manure to pillow more or less in the
fall. Duringsthe summer a good part
of the stock are kept in the,pasture and
there is not very large quantity Of
manure that can be secured to apply on
the cultivated fields. 1t is during the
fall and winter that the greatest
amount can be secured. Our plan all
through the winter is as far as possible
to haul out and apply all of the manure
&C fast as made and / am satisfied that
better results in every way can be Sc
cured by applying on plowed land.
Load into the wagon direct from the
stables sheds or feeding lots, haul to
the fields when it is wanted and scatter
from the wagon, This saves time and
labor and gives good results. The work
necessary to put the soil in proper
condition for the reception of the seed
will work the manure sufficiently in
with the soil. Our land lays SO that it
does not wash and this with the adj

Apples for Cold storage.

Prof. Craig of the Experimental
Farm, Ottawa, Canada, takes hopeful
view of the matter of keeping apples
in cold storage, says an exchange. 1t
may be questionable whether Prof.
Craig is wholly right in his optimistic
views, but here is what he says:
Before long you will see a revolu-
ton in the apple trade. Winter apples
will not be a necessity. Cold storage
will solve the difficulty. Probably be-
fore two years are over, you will see
in every fruit growing district cold
storage houses on the cooperative
plan. based on the cold storage build
ings at the Worlds Fair. Fall apples
put into cold storage buildings where
the temperature is "a degrees may be
kept an indefinite length of time. Thus
winter apples will not be necessary.

REVIVED MEMORY.
When We Grow Old. We Recall the
Things of Long Ago.


About rs years ago, upon Il rainy
day, a small boy who had reached the
mature age of 6 was sitting with his
mamma and bemoaning the state of tho
weather and accompanying absence of
novel entertainment. Mamma wore on
her finger beautiful ring that was a
family heirloom, and as she sewed pm.
tiently the jewel glittered on her little
white hand. The small boy regarded
the bright bauble for some time in
silence and then sweetly requested
mamma to take it off and let him play
with it, Il was weak thing to do,
perhaps, but she complied l dare say
there are mothers at the present day
who can sympathize with her, for hu-
man nature is the same, though fash
ions change, and when the "dear
child" looked up in her face pleadingly
he looked with papa's eyes, and papa
was dead. So he got the ring and lost

shone in ''papa's eyes," and the GEN.

together grew old in company too.
Finally age began to tell on them. The
century got troubled with a complaint
designated "fin de siecle," and the boy
lost his memory for the things of to-
day, but became abnormally reminis-
cent in regard to the past. His thoughts
often turned back to the young mother
long dead. and in the decline Of life he
had as clear a mental picture of her as
his boyish eyes had ever seen. One
evening, having pushed his spectacles
Oh top of his head and hunted every

before the fire. when suddenly flood
of light illuminated that dark corner
of his memory where hung the picture
of that small edition Of himself losing

to his feet with an excited cry: 1.-THE

crack in the window casing-the one
that looks out on the orchard!"
