Cattle Dipping.

At a meeting recently by the Texas
State Live Stock Sanitary Board, at
Fort Worth, Inspector Dean, of the
Bureau of Animal Industry, said the
department was satisfied with the dip
ping experiments recently made there
and elsewhere, and insisted on main
tanning the present quarantine line and
a close season. He says dipping sta
lions will shortly be established along
the quarantine line. Inspector Dean
reported satisfactory results attending
the cattle recently dipped and shipped
to Illinois. He advised dipping in mod
crate weather in order to avoid the eff
feet of exposing the cattle to either
heat or cold while their hair was sat
urated with the oil. The formula of
the preparation which he recommends,
and which has been adopted by the
Government, consists of parffin oil,
known as dynamo and sulphur.

The SheepfO1d.

The fine wool breeds Ct sheep are
most subject to foot rot. Perhaps the
best way to treat it is to cSit off the dis
eased portion and apply nitric acid.
Sulphur should be kept in ready
reach in the sheep house; insects and
vermin do not like it, and it is preven-
tive of many ills. Further, piece of
roll birthstone should be found in the
feed troughs of the horses and the cat
tie.
Many of the internal parasites which
cause losses in the flock are taken in
while watering at foul drinking places.
Unless the water supply is watched
carefully, there is likely to be at least
a loss of condition among them, If
there is no more serious loss.-Indiana

Care of Tomat ito Plants.

Tomatoes may be forced in winter
like other plants. The house should be
light and warm, the roof five feet above
the bed or benches, plenty of light be-
ing essential. The temperature should
be from 60 to 65 degrees at night and
70 to so degrees during the day, the soil
to be rich, and close personal attention
should be given the plants. The flowers
must be pollenated by hand in winter,
which is done by knocking the pollen
from the flowers when the atmosphere
is dry and catching it in spoon into
which the stigma should be thrust. The
plants should be we'll watered as re-
CURED, instead Of litIle and often, and
should be trained to stakes, the surplus
branches cut away. They may be also
grown in large pots or boxes.

Farm Accounts.

Close up all the little outstanding
farm accounts. Make list of the bills
you owe, and the amounts owing to
you. These little bills in the aggregate
amount to a large sum. Make settle
ment if you can; if you cannot, get the
full amount of your bill; it is always
best to know exactly what you do owe,
and it is very bad policy to keep run
ming account-unless q settlement is
made every month. Farmers are I'M
usually careless in their money trans
actions; the only safe way is to keep
a strict account of all OUTLAWS. Pay as
you go, and take a written receipt for
every bill paid. These bills should be
pasted in book kept for this one pur-
pose. This work should be done every
evening. 1t is not selfish to be correct
in your dealings, nor parsimonious to
be economical-The American.

THE WILD INDIAN.
An Average Mans Ignorance About Red Mea
Is Profound.

We cannot deal with the Indian OF
to-day unless we know the Indian OF
Yesterday, says George Bird Grinnell
in the Atlantic. The average man sell
dom thinks about Indians, and when
he does he thinks of them either
with entire Indifference or with con-
temptuous dislike. He is moved IN
part by that narrowness which leads
us to despise those who in appearance
or by birth or tradition are different
from ourselves,-the feeling which
leads many white man to speak
with contempt Of Cinnamon. More
weighty than this feeling, however, Is
the inherited one that the Indian is an
enemy, who, from the time he was
first known has been hostile to us.
Even nowadays most people seem to
think of the Indian only as warrior.
who is chiefly occupied in killing Wo-
men and children, burning homes and
torturing captives. From the days
when they fous4t the Pilgrim Fathers,
and then the settlers Of the Ohio Val
ley, and later still the emigrants cross
ing the plains, nine-tenths Of all that
has appeared in print about Indians
has treated them from this point OF
view; and the newspapers, which now
constitute so great a portion Of the
reading matter of the American pub
lie, seldom print anything about the
Indians except In connection with
massacres and uprisings. The effect
of all this literature on the popular
estimation in which the Indian is held
has been very great,
The popular impressions are entirely
erroneous. The Indian was fighter,
yet war was only an incident of his
life. Like any other human being he
is many sided, and he did not always
wear his war paint. If he has a re-
pulsive aspect, there are other sides
of his character, and some Of them
pleasing. If from one point Of view
he may appear to the civilized man
ferocious and hateful, from another
he seems kindly and helpful. The sol
der sees the Indian from one point OF
view only, the missionary from anoth-
| er, the traveller from third the agent
| from a fourth. Each of these is i'm
| pressed by some salient feature of his
| character, yet each sees that one only
or chiefly, and the image is imperfect,
| ill-proportioned, and misleading.

should be 1A-inch stuff, put in with
shoulders cut down to / inch where it

been the custom. The best soils are
none too good for the apple orchard,
and such will develop much larger
trees than will the poorer hillsides so
commonly chosen for orchard sites in
the past. For the stronger growing
kinds like the r. 1. Greening, Bellflow-
er and Baldwin, distance of forty feet
is none too much while those with less
spreading heads like the Northern Spy
and Ben Davis should have thirty feet
space each way. This assumes that
the orchards are regularly to be cult
waited, a practice that now prevails in
all good orcharding.-Vick Monthly.

Artificial Cream.

A cooking teacher tells of manufac-
tured cream that is worth knowing
about in emergencies, when the real ar
ticle is not to be had. 1t is made from
the whites of two eggs, beaten stiff,
with tablespoonful of sugar and tea
spoonful of cornstarch. Half cup of
cold milk is added by degrees and all
beaten together very stiff. A cup of
milk is heated over the fire, with II
small butter ball melted in it,
This is allowed to come just to the boil
ing point, when it is removed to a cool
er part of the stove and the beaten egg
mixture added. When it has all thick
ened very slightly to about the consis-
tency of thick cream, it is taken off and
strained and cooled. This may be used
as cream for serving with fresh or pre-
served fruits, but it is needless to add
that it will not whip.-New York Post.

Paint Against Rabbits.

At butchering time or by visit to
the local butcher, secure quantity Of
blood Set it away until it begins to
emit an odor. Then lime, which has
been thoroughly slaked, should be
mixed with the blood, stirring it until
about the thickness of whitewash. A
little sulphur may be added.
To apply to trees, take an old white
wash brush and cover all parts which
the rabbits can reach with the mix
ture. They will not trouble tree
treated in this manner. One painting
will last season, and it is much easier
to put on than winding with paper or
covering trunks in any other way, be-
sides being more effectual. The lime
in the mixture also is beneficial to the
tfees.-Orange Judd Farmer.
