Dirt in the Dairy.

We are very scientific in these days,
and talk of bacteria, bacilli, micrococus,
pasturiziug, sterilizing, etc and there
is danger that we shall forget that sci
cnti6c dirt is just as bad as the common
variety. Dirt under Latin name is
lust as dirty as it is in English, and re-
quires just as much soap aud hot water,
sdrubbing brush and elbow grease as
the old variety that our fathers used to
wreste with before the days of washing
powders aud concentrated e. We need
no special sterilizers or pasteurizers to
keep the milk cans clean leave all
these complicated machines to the sci
enti6c fellows and go at the cans and
dairy vessels in the old fashioned way,
as if bacteria and bacilli had never been
heard of; use plinty of water, soda,
sunshine and fresh air Have your milk
vessels clean first, and think Of bacteria
aitorward II your butter or cream are
oh flavor, nine times out Of ten, the
trouble is that your stable, COW or dairy
is dirty, just plain dirt, that doesn't
need microscope and a chemist TO find
il; only thorough cleaning aud the
trouble will vanish The tenth time
you may need the help of the expert,
but don't ask for it till you have got rid
Of the common dirt, then you may look
for the scientific variety.

Winter Care for Brood Sows.

Swine growers should not fail to re-
member that the vitality and ability to
thrive which the spring pig crop should
possess will very largely depend upon
the manner in which the brood sows are
fed this winter. II they are kept on an
exclusive corn diet the effect will be
manifest in trouble at narrowing time in
weak filters and 10 unsatisfactory results
during the sucking period. If the brood
sows are made "hog fat" by the feeding
of fattening food, the owner will be sure
to have no "luck" with bis spring pig
crop If, on the other hand, they are
permitted to become thin and emaciated,
the defective nutrition of the litter be-
fore birth will be one of those early
backsets that such of the pigs as live
will never get over during their brief
life.
To-hays geOj Is:ars proper feeding is
essential. The brood sows should be
prepared for breeding by the feed they
have received They should be in a
lhTlVlDB oOuulLlOu, Dub uob iah pcbbcI ,
however, a little too much flesh than
anything approaching a rundown con
dition During the period of CESSATION
the fattening foods, like coru, should be
avoided The diet should consist OF
such fOodstuffs as oats, bran, shorts and
other foods of growth, and should be
sufficiently liberal to make good the
steady drain upon the dams vitality
which the development of the litter
imposes, avoiding extremes either way
All that is required to do this is little
knowledge of the effects of the two
classes Of feed into which foodstufs di-
vide themselves, and that the ration
given should be fed with Judgment aud
watchfulness as to its effects A little
care and thoughtfulness in this respect
now will pay for itself over and over
again when narrowing time comes, and
thereafter during the rearing and finish
ing of the litters.

Agricultural.
Speciality Farming.

Speciality farming means devoting the
larger part of the time to the produc-
ion Of one crop This crop may be
wheat, corn or cotton, and there are
large sctions in this country devoted al
most wholly to one or another of these
crops. One years failure of the special
crop Of any Of these sections means
serious inconvenience to farmers, and
failure for two or more successive years
leads to ruin. From the orange groves
Of Florida and the cane lands Of Lou
isiana to the wheat fields of North Da-
kOta the specially farmer is liable to
work without profit because of barren
years or low prices. Ii is true that each
section is better for some one crop than
for any other, and it is a good policy to
devote considerable part of the time
and the farm to that crop. The good
farmer will endeavor to learn which crop
is the most profitable, and that having
been settled he will try to learn every
thing that is to be known about that
particular crop At the same time he
will learn something concerning every
other crop which he can grow, in order
that he may diversity his productions as
much as possible.
Specially farming is always destruct-
i've farming, as it makes a rotation of
crops impossible and draws constantly
on the fertility of the soil without per
hitting renovation except by the direct
application of fertilizers, costly way
of maintaining fertility, no matter what
is used for that purpose.
The farmer who plants variety of
crops, keeps sheep cattle and hogs, and
takes care of everything, is always
ready for any season or any particular
condition of the markets He may not
have any special fat years, but he will
never have total loss to contend with
and on the whole will have greater
profits and much fewer losses Farmer $

Removing Warts from Horses.

Clarence Muir, young horseman,
gives the Farmers Home Journal the
following remedy for the cure of warts
on horses Take about four leaves of
strong cured tobacco, place them in a
vessel, pour about one-half gallon Of
water over them, place on the fire, let
ting it hoil down to a strong juice, aud
apply to the wart Always pick the wart
40 as to make it bleed before the appli-
cation, that it may strike into the fun
gous growth A few applications will
soon do the work gradually the en-
Iargement will decrease and disappear
as il by magic. As an evidence of its
efficacy, some years ago horse that we
drove had bleeding wart on his back
that the lines kept contually bleeding
II wa about the size of a walnut, with
a neck about the size of ones index
finger. would occasionally sprinkle
few crumbs of tobacco on il from my
pocket, and the wart went away |
have removed warts as large as a pint
cup from horses legs by taking the to-
bacco leaves, dipping them in hot water
and binding them to the affected part.
Try it and you will be rewarded for your
trouble"

PERSONS DISCHARGED AS CURED.

Sir: The community has been shocked by the
news Of the murder OF a little child yesterday by
an insane mother. 1t is pathetic to read how TINS
irresponsible woman, after the commission OF lhe
horrible deed, asked her own mother IF she had
done wrong" This woman had been three times In
in insane asylum twice in one and once In another.
and each time discharged as cured. 1t was only
three months ago that she was discharged from ''le
Kings Park Asylum cured, after having oeeh IN
that institution for fourteen months We READ quite
too often In the newspapers Of similar cases oil per
sons discharged from insane asylums committing
borrhle crimes after getting their liberty. and the
question arises II the insane institutions shoud not
exercise greater care in making sure OF the Auso-
lutte cure Of patients before discharging them 100
frequently the public insane institutions are over
crowded new patients coming In faster than OLD
ones are restored 10 health. which leads TO as
charges Of persons apparently cured to make room
for the newcomers.
But the question arises, Who is responsible for
such murders on account of insanity as that which
bappened in Brooklyn yesterday? Should not the
state and the authorities of the institution De hed

woman and the father OF the murdered chlid LOT
