abate, give her another dose or more.
until the fever leaves her, it will do
no harm if you give her ten such doses
in five days. The mode Of giving it is
to mix four quarts or more of wheat
bran with water. in which the saltpeter
has been dissolved; mix TO suit her
taste as to moisture: the water should
be temperate not over sixty degrees
Fahrenheit; il the fever Is high, and
the COW appears to he in much pain
and bowels loose. mix with the mess
ten grains of opium, or any prepara-
ton OF opium dissolved, once a day !:
card her gently and thoroughly; keep
her warm and dry, give her NO water
colder than forty-fVe degrees FahrGn-
heit, but give her all she will drink at
that or at fifty degrees. Forcing AMI
mails of any kind to drink medicine IS
to mix the medicine with water, put 1t
in a. long necked bottle, tie the neck
Of the animal high and short, put a
cievice in the mouth, put your hand

of the clevice, turn it toward the throat
and pour out the contents, and itsWnl

GAS IN CHEESE CuRD5.
Bulletin ON the Subject by I. r. Roberto
of Cornell DAiVersitY.

! Bulletin ON the Subject by !. r. itobsrti
of COrncll baiVersitY.
The presence of gas, accompan4aa ~
undesirable taints in cheese cure, -Aa'S
long been known to be a potent factor
| in lessening the market value OF
cheese.
A few psychologists have found thar
the cause of the gas and talnts Is
gaseous fermentation due to the pres
pnce of certain bacteria. The partlcu-
lar species of bacteria which produce
this fermentation have not heretofore
been clearly defined; their, source or
the channel through which they ger
into the milk has not been definitely
pointed out. While, therefore, this
trouble has been attributed with rea-
son to bacteria. the definite knowledge
of species and Of means for carrying
oat intelligentIy preventive measures
was wanting.
The purpose of this bulletin is 10
point out one of the species of bacteria
which causes this trouble; the channel
through which it gets into the milk;
and the precautions necessary to De
taken in order to prevent its appear
ance.
II has been necessary to restrict the
inquiry to the conditions arising in
single factory and ina single dairy. 1t
cannot be assumed, therefore. that the
re suit obtained can without further
investigation be used to explain the
cause OF his trouble in all factories. "
The investigation has brought out In
Q most conspicuous manner the neces-
sity for large amount of bacterio4ogie
investigation in determining the effects
upon milk, butter and cheese OF q
large number of bacteria commonly
present in the excreta Of cattle,
This inquiry has brought out several
facts heretofore generally denied, con"
corning the source of bacteria in fresh
milk. The research demonstrates that
bacteria 90 exist sometimes in the milk
ducts of the udder itself as we'll as in
the teats. 1t is also shown that the,
same species Of bacteria will persist in
the udder for a considerable time II
once introduced This is highly import
ant in showing the necessity for clean
Illness in. COW stables
The investigation, as a whole. has
opened a new field and will without
doubt lead, in time, to extremely val
liable results. The only regret is that
time and opportunity have not enabled
the Station to make as extended re-
searches as is desirable. Suffice it to
say, the investigation will be continued
another year.

Selling Farm Produce.

Of all ways, the most hazardous and
unsatisfactory method of disposing Of
goods by country buyers. or farmers.
particularly the farmers, is to send
produce to a city commission-man to
he sold. In this way the goods are put
into the hands of those whose chief
interests is in getting their commits
sicns. and the chances are by many
odds that the. returns Will be much
less than the goods could be or have
been sold for at home, for it is a pacu-
liar condition that almost invariably
the market price is down just the day
the goods are sold, and just as surely
the shipper is informed that prices
will be better next week Market quo
tations are but small guide to the
price the shipper will get. 1t will be
found more often at the lowest or near
it than at intermediate or higher. An
other thing, did any farmer ever send
to commission man any produce that
proved of good quality that the report
was not nearly always received that
the goods were of poor quality or in
bad condition? Something is always
wrong; seldom are quality and condi-
ton right.

CO-oneratinn Among Farmers.

1t has occurred TO me that a good
deal could be saved annually if g little
cooperation should be adopted among
neighbors. Very UGH Of the farm ma
chinery is expensive and is used only
a short time each year, and the outlay
in money for it is necessarily great.
If farmers could only become unit for
awhile and see the advantage in own
ing such machinery as the thresher,
wood saw. ensilage cutter, potato plan
ter and digger and power sprayer in
partnership. what a gain could be
made. These could be owned by COM
pany and go from place to place until
the work was all done. and the expense
would thus be reduced to- minimum.
There is a certain feeling Of independ
ence which prevents farmers from do
ing this, and it is hard to estimate
what the independence of some men
has cost. -;
If farmers would only do so they
could buy goods more cheaply by sew
eral of them Joining together and get
ting six months Or a years supply.
The trouble is that one man does not
want his neighbor to know what he is
buying, hence ne will not go in with
him. ....-.

Orchard and Garden.

In answer to certain inquiries as re-
CARDS the best season for pruning
shrubbery upon the lawn or around the
house, We find it easier to give Two
general rules for such work which
have no exceptions that We can now
recall. For those which bloom early
in the spring it is the best time 70
prune back directly after blooming.
Late or autumnal boomers should not
be cut back or pruned until spring.
Cut back enough to keep the shrub in
good shape and remove all dead
branches.
The reason for these rules is that
the early boomers make Hover and
fruit buds during the growth after
blooming, and so do the autumn
boomers, but do not make that growth
until the next spring. Non Towering
or foliage shrubs are best trimmed
early in. the spring, say April in this
latitude, and this is particularly true
of evergreens, as they heal better then
than later. Hardwood shrubs may ne
summer pruned, but if not perfectly
hardy the new growth may be more
liable to winter kill than would that
made earlier in the season. Such
plants need to be pruned in the spring,
anyway, to cut away such as may have
been winter killed, and We usually
think this pruning enough for the
year, unless it is desirable to head IN
some branch that is growing too free
y, and putting the shrub out of it's,
proper symmetry.
In answer to the question, Do bodies
of trees absorb moisture from the at
mosphere? a correspondent of Nee
hans Monthly says that he last spring
painted the entire body of small ma
pie, and in three weeks every leaf
would crumble in the hand. He also
found last summer that when the mer-
curry stood highest in the barometer
the tree would take in water faster
than when it stood lower, and finally
would take in none when the baron-
eter stood at what he calls zero" His
first experiment shows the evil of the
practice of coating tree trunks with
paint, white-Wash, or any preparation
that will effectually close the pores Of
the bark, as Drendoline has also been
reported as killing many trees.

Theoretically milk that is properly
taken care of has no specks in it that
can afterWard be found in the butter,
says a writer in The National Stock
man, but it is a sad fact that practical
ly there are more or less specks in the
milk and consequently in the butter.
A COW should be brushed so clean be-
fore milking that there would be no
such things as specks, and no need for
strainers, but the multifarious strain
ers upon the market testify that the
large number of COWS are not brushed
as they theoretically should be. / say
theoretically, for it is question with
me whether a cow that is kept in a
clean box stall will pay for the extra
trouble of having her toilet performed
twice a day, unless the milk is to be
sold for some special purpose. The
modified miIkmen brush their cows.
but they get eight cents a, quart for
their milk and can afford to do so, put
for the average dairyman with clean
cow il is, as | said, question if he
can do SO.

Poultry Items.

Don't forget that overfed or under
fed hens are poor layers.
Don't forget to rout the hen lice out
of the poultry house.
Don't forget to feed the young tur-
keys on clean board.
Don't forget that fermented food
will kill many little chickens.
Don't forget to have roomy coops for
young poultry, crowding does not pay.
Don't forget to move the coops once
week and scatter air-slacked lime
around. ,
Don't forget that the feeding trough
should be large enough to give all the
fowls an opportunity to feed.
Don't forget to save the best and
easiest Matched pullets for breeders
for the best are none too good.
Don't forget if your little chicks do
not have good runs, to provide plenty
of grain and ground food. grit and
ground bone.
Don't forget if the old turkeys are
roosting out of doors to throw some
wood ashes around under the roosting
places.
Don't forget that thorough cleanli-
ness, free use of disinfectants md good
ventilation are the leading hygiene
measures in regards the houses and
runs. t,.@"

all you pay out for the flock and all
you receive for it and you can tell

A Model Small Farm.

A Virginia paper tells of ten-acrc
farm near Norfolk which is all clear
ed and cultivated. The "head of the
house" cares for the eight acres on
which are grown hay, oats, corn,
sweet and Irish potatoes, berries, etc.
The live stock consists of two milch
cows, the milk from which is sold at
eight cents per quart; three horses,
two sows and flock of hens The
helpmeet attends to the two acres on
which are grown parsley carrots,
onions, ieeks, asparagus, celery ana
other vegetables. These are made up
into little punches, each containing
one onion, one carrot, one leek, one
sprig of parsley and one of thyme, all
inclosed in a fresh cabbage leaf and
selling for three cents. She averages
one hundred lunches per day, and the
larger part Of the cash income of the
farm comes from the sales from these,
two acres. Tank atout woman being

FARM SlOVENlLNESS.
The valns OF Pheasant Surroundings On
the Farm.

the Farm.
Many farms are estimated below
their true value because OF slovenly
appearance. Weeds higher than the
fences. trees blown down and left To
rot In the same place, fences out OF
repair, gates and barn doors OF hinges
or swinging on one hinge, unsightly
litter in door-yard and at the barn,
these and many such evidences OF
carelessness depreciate the value OF
any farm. The soil may be excellent,
the water facilities all that could be
asked for, and all natural advantages
requisite to make q good, high-prleed
farm may exist and yet that farm
scarcely makes Its owner living. 1t
can almost pass for truism that the
farmer makes the farm. Many reason
that there is no money in keeping the
farm neat, no cash in the carefully
kept barn-yard, and that there is no
time for these matters. Such reckon
at random. Pleasant surroundings do
very materially aid US to better work;
man succumbS to such influences I'M
consciously. The farmer with nea:
premises will have better crops, better
stock and get more enjoyment in life.
A man who justly appreciated the
commercial value Of neat, well7kept
farm, made many dollars buying farms
that the owners had neglected, at low
prices, making them attractive and
selling them for much larger sums
than were paid. The repairs were
made at small cost of money, the out
lay being mostly judicious labor and
taste.
The great difficulty is that farmers
try to care for more land than one
man can possibly attend 80 properly,
hoping thereby to increase his in
come The harvest many times is dis
and Encouragement fol-
lows, but, unfortunately, the difficulty
is not placed on the right scale. Farm
ing, as all other ayccations, gives US
returns in proportion to the kind OF
labor expended. Attention given to
these seemingly trivial matters will
give larger returns than are anticipat-
ed, and nature will aid us to beautify
the farm home, and wherever the sons
and daughters go this charming spot
will be fondly cherished, whereas now,
too many remember the farm home as
a wilderness Of weeds and brush.

CURES WITHOUT PAIN
One of the Best Features of the New
Pile Cure,


The Pyramid Pile Cure cures all forms
of piles without one particle OF pain. This
desirable point is not obtained by the use
of injurious opiates which simply deaden
and paralyZe the nerves of the parts and
make matters worse in the long run. But
It is done solely by its remarkable healing
and soothing effects.
And while it thus gives immediate relief,
at the same time the disease is not merely
checked, but radical cure is accom-
plished.
And the point We want to make clear is
that all this is done without particle Of
pain.
This fact is one great reason for the
popularity of the Pyramid Pile Cure, and
constitutes one very great difference be-
tween it and almost any other treatment
for piles.
Every kind OF surgical operation for
piles is overwhelmingly painful besides in
dangerng the life OF the patient and in
most cases is not to be compared with the
Pyramid Pile Cure, neither in making sue
cessful cures without pain nor in cheap
ness and safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been before
the public SO long, and its merits recog-
nized by too many people to allow 1t to be
classed with the many salves, supposito-
ries, pills, ETC., and you run no risk in
trying 1t, as is often the case with untried
| preparations.

GOT THE WRONG TROUSERS.
Morris Levy. n Clerk, Arrested for M
Alleged Swindle,

AS a result of an alleged swindle prac-
ticed on Edwin Brent. a colored youth,
Morris Levy, a clerk employed by Sec
ond-hand dealer at 9O5 d Street northwest,
was arrested by Detective Boyd yesterday
morning on warrant sworn out by Brent
charging petit larceny. Levy gave bond
for his appearance in court this morning
and was released.
1t apears that Brent negotiated for the
purchase of a pair of light gray trousers
from Levy Thursday evening. The trou-
sers were valued at $3.50, and when pur-
chased were wrapped up by the clerk and
carried home by the purchaser. When
Brent unwrapped the bundle at his home
he discovered, it is alleged, that, instead
of the trousers selected by him for pur-
chase, the bundle contained n pair of
black trousers of little or no value. He
claims TO have reported the supposed mis-
take TO Levy and to have been threatened
by him. AS he could get no satisfaction
from Levy, Brent made complaint to the
police and the warrant was issued.
