HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN.

Water from a long unused we'll is no,
fit for the cow.
Milk quickly and thoroughly. Quick
milking is the thing.
If you milk a sick COW, wash the
hands before milking another cow.
Moldy hay or straw should never be
used for bedding cows. for it contains
bacteria.
Watch the milk to see that it is nat
ural. If unnatural do not mix it with
other milk.
Droppings should be removed several
times a day if the cows are kept stabbed
al: the time.
Land plaster is one of the very best
things for absorbing moisture and
odors in the stable.
The oIeomargarine business has had
a serious setback, but the bogus lard
business still goes on.
Sand will make very good absorbent
in the stable, the only objection being
that it will get into the hair.
1t is always well to milk stream OF
two on the ground to carry away any
dirt that may be at the crafice.
Cold milk absorbs odors very readily,
but cold or warm it should never be
brought in contact with odors.-West-

BLACK ROT IN CABBAGE.

Bulletin just Issued by the Department.
of Agriculture OF INTEREST to Cabbage
Growers-A Plant Disease Hard to Erad-
icate Once 1t Becomes Settled in q
LOcaiity-Planting of Other Crops About
the Only Remedy.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Farmers' bull
Ietin No. IS, just issued by the agri-
cultural department. treats of the
black rot of the cabbage. 1t was pre-
pared by Erwin f. Smith. chief of the
division of vegetable physiology and
pathology, and describes the nature
and prevalence of the disease, the
sources of infection, and gives practice,
suggestions for it's prevention.
The disease is known to cabbage
growers under different names, the
commOnest of which are stem rot
and BLACK rot" Although it has come
into prominence only within the last
few years, it is said to be a serious
hlndrance to cabbage growing IN sew
eral states No way is known OF
curing the disease or of entirely
Kidding the locality of it when once
well eSta blished. The whole subject
treatment may be summed up in one
word-prevention. The disease is not
confined to cabbage, but attacks num-
Der of species belonging to the mus
tard family. 1t was studied in the
field for the first time by the au-
thor last year, who visited the fol.
lowing places: Saginaw, Mich: Ra-
cine, Wis; Clyde, o.; Rochester,
n. Y, and Washington, D. c. In ali
these localities it has obtained strong
foothOld, and has already done serious
damage. The injury at Racine during
the last three years probably exceeds
$780, 600. Many suggestions were given
for the prevention of the disease. The
planting of others crops for a
long series of years, the bulletin says,
seems to be the only satisfactory way
of getting rid of it after once becoming
serious.
The belief is expressed that no dan.
ger is likely to ensue from the con.
sumption of cabbage slightly affected
with the rot, because the germ does not
grow well at blood heat, and is easily
destroyed by cooking.

SCRAPS FROM HISTORY.

The earliest collection of Christmas
carols was published in 1921. Many are
little more than drinking songs used at
social or religious festivities, of which
singing and dancing then formed a
prominent feature.
Gar, more properly tsar or tZar, the
title of the emperor of Russia, was de-
rived from Caesar, a title said to have
been assumed by Ivan Basilowitz after
defeating the Tartars, about 1852. The
empress is termed cZarina, and the
eldest son czarewitch.
In the reign of Edward III, there
were at Bristol, England, three broth
ers who were eminent clothiers and
wooden weavers, and whose family
name was Blanket. They were the first
persons who manufactured that COM
Portable material which has ever since
been called by their name, and which
was then used for peasants clothing.
The famous old tavern in Corn court,
in which the Tea Party was planned, is
the oldest in Boston, and was built by
Samuel Cole in 1884. During the revolu-
ton of 1776 it was owned by John Dug
gan, VIII was tAe 11l0Ao u Wv Liz
cock, under whom he held a commits
sion and by whom he was presented
sword and sash.
In olden times the plum-porridge was
partaken of at the beginning of the
dinner, occupying the soup course; and
the mince, or shred, pies were very
popular. In shape they are often slight
" oval, as well as round: and our grand
mothers tell Us this oval shape was to
resemble and remind US of Christ's
cradle. In England it is still a very
popular and enjoyable custom to offer
a mince pie to every caller.

The Beet Sugar Industry,

Claus Spreckels is said to have over
$4,000 900 invested in beet sugar re-
fineries. In one factory alone 5000 tons
of beets are consumed each day. Annu-
ally, in this country, 100000 tons of
sugar are used. Owing to the INSULT
cheney of the home supply much of the
sugar required by the great fruit and
condensed milk factories is imported.
In order to give US the necessary
amount of sugar each year 1888, 1913
acres of beet-producing land, yielding
5000 pounds of sugar to an acre, should
be cultivated. It is believed that farm
ers may realize three times as much
money from raising sugar beets as from
crops of wheat.

the search for gold, and haI

the search for gold, and has diverted the
attention of many others. But in order
to get there 1t Is necessary that a man
should be possessed of the best of health,
strong powers of endurance and consider
able means. He leaves his wife and his fam
lily for considerable period, and the hard
ships he has to endure are all unknown to
him.
Canada has other gold fields, though.
They are the fields that produce her golden
gram. This year the crop of Manitoba, ".
ing north of North Dakota, yielded q, 900, :
QUO bushels of wheat alone. The current
price averages IS cents, which, as local
paper puts it, makes the product in gold
this year, for wheat alone, equal to value
of 15,960,0 00." Twenty thousand farmers
did this, or an average to each producer of
about S798.
But these same farmers are not living by
wheat alone. This is only one source of rev
enue to them out of many. They have also
beef, butter, potatoes, oats, barley and poul-
try to sell, and sometimes other things, so
that it may be fairly estimated that their in
comes will average at least 81 900 per farmer.
Thus Manitoba fields have yielded this year
fully $20,000,000 in gold divided among %,
600 actual producers, and a general popula-
ton of about 100000"
After counting the cost of stamp mills, ex-
penses of men, etc, rich as Is the klondike,
such vast wealth as is being taken out of the
soil IN raising wheat in this one province
cannot possibly be secured in any mining
district. OF course mining development as,
sists agricultural development, and that is
why the Government of Canada feels so much
assurance IN predicting prosperity to all who
take up farms in Canada Western Canada
to-day promises more than any other known
field that is open to immigration. Farms Of
100 acres, capable of producing the best No
/ hard wheat, yielding thirty to forty bush
els to the acre, are, given away free. Rail
ways, markets, schools, churches-all are
convenient. The Canadian form of govern
ment is one of the most liberal known, and a
hearty welcome is given to settlers of all ma
tionalities Already there are many settlers
gone in from the states, and the reports
from them are highly favorable. Those de-
string information as to free homestead laws,
low transportation rates, etc, will have

that he did not anticipate another
outbreak, but yet would not be
surprised at one. None of the dis
turbanee he reported had been
directed against the United States or
American citizens. The cabinet dis
while decided not to send a warship &c

GROWING CELERY.
4 Method That Has Been Practtced
Gr,cnass

with Great Success.
The following is my plan for growing
celery: Instead of sowing the seed in
a hot bed or cold frame, as practiced in
Europe, it is sowr in the open ground,
as soon as II is fit 10 work, in April, and
kept carefully clear of weeds until the
time of planting, in June and July.
In our warmer climate, if raised in
hot beds, as in England, a majority OF
the plants would run to seed. The tops
are shorn off one or twice before
planting, so as TO insure ''stocky"
plants, which suffer less on being trans
planted. After t,e ground has been
nicely prepared, lines are struck out on
the level surface three feet apart, and
the plants set six inches apart in rows,
If the weather is dry at the time OF
planting great care should be taken
that the roots are properly ''frmed."
Our custom is to turn back on the row
and press by the side of each plant
gently with the foot. This compacts
the soil and partially excludes the ali
from the roots until new roOtlets are
formed, which viii usually be in As
hours, after which all danger is over.
This practice of pressing the soil close
~ around the roots is essential in plant
ing of all kinds, a I'D millions of plants
are annually destroyed by its omission.
After the planting of the celery is COM
pleted nothing fur Their is to be done for
six or seven weeks. except running be-
tween the rows " it'll the cultivator or
hoe. and freeing tie plants of weeds I'M
til they get strong enough to crowd
them down. This viii bring US to about
the middle of August, by which time we
have usually that moist and cold atmOs-
phere essential to the growth of celery.
Then we begin the ''earthing up
necessary for the blanching and whiten-
ing of that which is wanted for use dur
ing the months CT September, October
and November. The first operation is
that Of handling, as We term it; that is.
after all the soil has been drawn UP
against the plant with the hoe it is
further drawn close around each plant
by the hand firm enough TO keep the
leaves in an upright position and pre-
vent them from spreading. This being
done more soil is drawn against the row
(either by the pillow or hoe, as circum-
stances require), so as TO keer the plant
in this upright position. The blanch
ing process must, however, be finished
by the spade, which is done by digging
the soil from between the rows and
banking it up clear to the top on each
side of the row of celery. Three feet is
ample distance between the dwarf va
rieties, but when larger sorts are used
tie width of the rows should be four or
five feet.-J. Z. Dillon, in Agricultural
Epitomist

by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-

this tube gets inhamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result. and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
