Points About Milking.

A good mixer can / OF make a good
COW out OF poor one, but a poor
mixer can and will spoil the best of
cows and neutralize the most judi
cious feeding. The foundation for a
good or poor milker is laid at the very
start.
In order to succeed, the beginner
should have liking for the business.
He must become acquainted with his
cows aud not only know them by sight
but should study their individual
characteristics and temperaments in
order 10 know just how to handle
them. He should also have some
competent person to show him just
how to begin. No one could reason
ably expect children to become good
penmen by giving them pen. bot
tie of ink and some paper, but that is
the way a majority learn to milk.
They are given a pail, q stool aud
shown a COW, and left to them selves.
A miserable failure is often the result.
The COW on which to begin should
be q quiet, easy milker, and one that
is not giving large quantity. Under
no circumstances should the beginner
continue to milk after his arms or
hands commence to ache. Better
have another finish The COW. This
will only have to be done few times.
Milk well and milk fast from the very
start, but don't milk too much. Al
ways avoid that jerky motion which is
so common. Also the habit of strip
ping with thumb and finger. The
practice of wetting the teats is very
bad. as it induces the growth of warts
and scabs and is rs unnecessary as it is
filthy. Deal gently but firmly with
the cows, AID bear in mind that a good
milker is always a skillsd workman. -

eggs appear to be identical with the
tent caterpillar, but they are glued on
all sorts of trees. / have even found
them wrapped around currants on the
currant bushes. The tent caterpillar
confines himself to the apple and wild
cherry, with an occasional nest on a
pear, plum or peach tree, but the for
est worm eggs must be sought for
everywhere, even upon the flower
shrubs. The problem what to do has
no more definite answer than fight,
fight, fight, and kill, kill, ki at every
stage of the existence of the pest.
My lawns and orchards are proof that
where the worm is at its worst we can
conquer. We met them with torch,
with arsenical spraying, with kerosene
emu sion, and where the worms we Q
gathered, as they were, in vast masses,
we crushed them with gloves saturated
in kerosene. We have only to re-
member that while kerosene is death
to them it is also death to trees if
carelessly applied. e. p. p, in New

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
Warm Shelter for Hogs.

In protecting fattening hogs from
the cold of winter, it is est to depend
rather upon warm sheds and wind
breaks than on the amount of bedding
too much exposure will make neces-
sary. When chilled by exposure, hogs
will invariably pile up, and with large
heavy hogs this will prove disastrous
to some of the herd where any num-
bers are kept together. Too much
bedding will only add to the danger.
Last winter a neighbor, on one bitter
ly cold night, lost more hogs than
would have paid for help to have made
a warm and sheltered place for the
swine to sleep in. A hay shed three
feet high at the back and four and a
half feet high in front, facing the
south, would have cost him nothing
for material, as it was lying about his
place unused, and if he himself could
not have found time to construct the
shed, he could have hired the work
done for less than the cost of one hog.
1t is looking at such things as these in
time that mark the differe4ce between
the successful and the unsuccessful
farmer. Orange Judd Farmer.

Colonel Atkfnson's Wit.

One Of the judges of the Wayne
circuit court tells of an incident in the
bar practice of the late Colonel John
Atkinson that illustrates his quickness
to hurl Parthian shaft and the biting
sarcasm of his irony.
He was opposed in the case on trial
by all the power and resources oi
James II. Pound, and they were fight
ing like giants for every point of ad-
vantage. Pound had won q majority
of the jousts, the colonel was nettled,
and was lying low for chance to de-
liver a swinging blow.
'Tt came" says the judge, when
I decided q point against Pound. II
had been ferceIy argued by both at
torneys, and in deciding it as I did ]
stated my reasons at length, giving
authorities. I saw Pound shake his
head at one of my conclusions, his lips
moved, and I supposed he had made
some comment, 80 when concluded
my decision, asked;
"What did you say, Mr.. Pound?"
"Qnick as q shot and in his most
cutting tones of intense sarcasm the
colonel replied;

honor. He merely shook his head.

Clearing and Fencing In Winter,

During the next few months there
will lie a considerable length of time
which can be devoted to clearing and
fencing. Thickets and hedge rows of
b"iers surrounding fields that are be-
ginning to encroach upon the cult
waited lands should be cut back. We
oftentimes see small five or ten acre
fields divided by strip of two or
three acres of second growth pine.
easily cleared and the small fields
thrown together, making large ore.
Time, a most important item, would
be saved by bringing all the work pos
sible in one field. The sunshine
would have q better opportunity to
reach aud furnish the growing crops
with its life promoting rays, while Il Q
ing trees and their constant drain
upon the soil would be dispensed with.
There is never a day, even in bad
weather, when the farmers cannot find
some useful employment for all the
labor on his premises. There is not
farm, little or big, which does not at
every season of the year find use for
good, we'll fenced pasture. Keeping
the COW, calf and horse enclosed within
a lot and no pasture in which to let
them Craze is an expensive luxury.
Oftentimes the trouble about provid-
ing water in sufficient quantities each
day becomes hardship on certain
l. ~f hA
work is but poorly done. 1t is rare
that one sees cattle confined in these
close lots looking welli generally they
present rough coat; are poor and
have saddened faces. Every man has
an abundance of spare time from field
work during the year, especially the
winter portion, in which to cut, split
rails and build a nice pasture, through
which stream of good water should
run. 1t is always preferable to have
| two pastures, one located on bottoms
where grasses can be found growing
| during winter and the other on higher
! lands if desired, to utilize the summer
! grasses. Every pasture should be
occasionally plowed and narrowed it
possible, and such grasses and clovers
sown as will give best returns for the
labor expended, through the cattle
and stock for which they are intended
to feed. There is too little attention
paid to our pastures. Oftentimes
when the pasture looks green and in
viting, the grasses are deficient in
nutrition and the stock do not fatten
and thrive near as we'll if better
grasses were used. There is no finer
grass for permanent spring and sum
mer pasture than Bermuda, AMI no
grass which can be more easily sodded.
For upland or bottoms nothing is
superior, and it is the most nutritious
of all grasses grown in the United
States. Let us have more and better
pasturage. 1t will mean more and
better cattle. 1t will give to each
farmer a larger profit on his business
and more satisfaction and pleasure II
the conduct Of his affairs. -Atlant'

Charcoal a. a EertIlizer.

There is scarcely any fertilizing ele-
ment in char coal itself, excepting the
small amount of potash that it con-
tains. Even this is not 80 available
as it would be if the charcoal were
completely burned and reduced to
ash But the dark color of charcoal
enables it to absorb the heat that the
suns rays bring to it, so that when
spread upon garden land where q
warmer soil is desired it may often be
an advantage to early vegetables, pro-
viding always that the plants where it
is spread be covered at night, SO that
the warmth gained by day may be re-
tanned during the hours of darkness.
But charcoal may be made directly
fertilizer through its great capacity
for absorbing ammo ia after it has
been placed in stables where nitro
genous manures are fermenting. This
ammonia the charcoal will retain,
uniting with whatever potash is avail
able for such use in the charcoal, and
thus forming nitrate of potash.
Charcoal is the best thing to place in
the bottoms of small plant pots to
give the roots drainage way. Stones
are often used for this purpose, but if
any fertilizer material sinks down to
the stones it would run through and
be lost the saucer holdi G the pot.
Where charcoal is used it would re-
tain all the heterogeneous fertility so
that roots coming contact with the
fertilized charcoal could use whatever
it contained that they needed.

Hints for the Housewife.

Sugar added to the water used fol
basting meat adds to the flavor.
Stale crackers are improved by
placing in a hot oven o few minute,
before serving.
In making hard pudding sauce adj
the sugar gradually to the butter, and
it will cream more quickly.
A paroxysm of coughing may often
be arrested by tablespoonful of ely.
cerine in glass of hot milk.
If dish of cold water is kept in
cake box it will keep the cake fresh
and moist. The water should be re-
newed every twentv-four hours.
A mixture of fine, soft down and
cotton batting of the best quality, well
mixed, makes a fine filling for cush.
ions, and is cheaper than all down.
To clean cork carpet, wash all over
twice week with skim milk, or polish
with beeswax and turpentine as you
would stained floor. The latter
method darkens the cork and gives il
q rich appearance.
An easy way to steam house plants
in winter is to set large vessel of hot
water under the plant stand and then
drop into it piece of hot brick or
iron.
Milk is suggested as a good extin.
gushing agent for burning petroleum.
1t forms en- emulsion with the oil, and
by disturbing its cohesion attenuates
the combustible element as water can
not.
In screwing glass globe on to the
gas fixture, care should be taken not
to screw it too tight, as when the gas
! is lighted the glass will expand, anI
if space is not allowed the globe will
crack. Many mysterious breakages
may be traced to this lack of foresight.
A point to be remembered in the
broiling of fish is that fish must not
be turned while broiling. Put the
inside of the fish next to the Goals and
| let it cook through. When done,
hold the skin side to the fire just
moment to brown, and serve at once.
If the fingers get badly stained IN
| peeling fruit or vegetables, and the
druggist is too far off to get oxalic
acid, try rubbing the fingers with sor'
rel leaves or rhubarb, both OF which
contain the same acid. Spots in linen
may be removed by the same agency.
Potato pudding is easily prepared
and makes a good and desirable addi-
tion to roast beef. Chop one-half cup
of suet with three raw potatoes to

Mstbod. Of MAKING Beef.re..

The first of the methods here given
makes surely a genuine extract OF
beef, containing all the strengthening
properties and the full nourishment of
the meat. If the stomach OF the in
valid is quite weak this extract is not
given in its full strength, but it is
diluted with hot water until it is of
the strength desired by the physician:
In making this tea or extract always
select the iuiciest part of the beef
quite without regard to its tenderness.
Indeed, the tenderer the meat is the
less juicy it will be found. The lower
part of the round is usually found to
be the best for beef-tea. 1t must be
absolutely free from fat, only the lean
meat being available. Gut the beef
into quarter-inch dice-shaped pieces,
and put them into q wide-mouthed
bottle and set it on a stand OF some
kind in kettle of cold, water. This
is to raise the jar and let the water
under it, so that the glass will not be
on the hot bottom of the kettle, as it
would almost to certainty break un-
less it was thus protected. Set the
kettle over the fire and heat it grad
ually. When it comes to boil keep
it gently simmering for several hours,
until the meat is perfectly white, look
ing like pieces of India-rubber, all the
juice being extracted. Then strain
out the juice, press it all out from the
pieces of meat, and season to the taste
with salt. To make the tea more
quickly cut one half pound of the juicy
round freed from all fat into small
pieces, season with a tablespoonful OF
salt, press it with a wooden potato
masher, and let it stand in a covered
bowl for half an hour. Pour off the
juice, and heat, but do not boil it.
Serve it imm ediately without strain.
irg. The salt will draw out only a
portion OF the juice from the meat, Sc
beef-tea may be made from the meat
after the juice has been poured off the
first time by adding one cupful of cold
water to it and letting it stand for a
couple of hours, then strain off the
water, pressing the meat to get out all
the juice, heat it, and you will have a
very palatable cup of tea little less
strong than the first, but good not
withstanding. Woman Home Com

Indian Cultivator, orthe Soil.

Those who contend that the Irdian
is incapable of becoming a good agri-
culturist take their cue from few
isolated cases. In most cases where
failure has been recorded the failure
comes from the inability or iucapacity
of those who are appointed by the
government to lead them. Whoever
has had the opportunity of travelling
through the country settled by the
Cherok ees and ChOctaws must have
seen quite as frequent evidence Of ag-
ricultural success among those people
Is could be seen among white people
anywhere. 1t is, however, to be sug
gested that this is chiefly on account
of the country being more favorable
to agriculture than localities further
north.
But we learn from the Helena In
dependent that the Grow Indians are
rapidly advancing in industrial agri-
culture. Crops have been raised in
the Crow region chiefly by irrigation.
In less than ten years these Indians
have constructed eight large irrigating
canals, sufficient to irrigate from two
thousand to ten thousand acres each,
and are now working on another that
is even larger. 1t is to extend for
probably fifty miles. A few white
men are employed as skilled artisans
by the Indians; but the work itself is
done by them. 1t is said that they
are remarkably thrifty, not spending
ell their money, but saving some,
which is invested in ruly sensible and
business ways.-Meehan's Monthly.

The Forest Worm.

The development of the forest worm
with such astounding rapidity comrels
us to look into the future with good
deal of alarm. Are we to have this
pest for several years in succession?
As near as can find out they have
appeared in New York but once before
within the memory of anyone now liv-
ing-that was in 1880 or in 1881. At
that time they remained for only two
years. We have no record of the
cause of their disappearance. 1t Is
probable, however, that they were
met by some counter attack, either of
the insect or of fungoid character.
Nv sons inform me that such enemies
of the caterpillar are already at work,
while other foes are attacking them in
the cocoon state. They were hatehed
out this year about the first of April
appearing first on the plum trees
and apple trees. and rapidly spread
ing to most of the other shade and
fruit trees. They did not touch the
magnolias, tulip tree, Kentucky coffee
tree, persimmop, pawPaw, English
elm or Norway maple, and in general
did not prefer the soft naples OF any
variety.
Among forest trees they objected to
the butternut and the walnut, but ate
the naples, white elm, oak aud bass
wood, taking the ash as soon as it
leaved out--later than the rest.
Among the fruit trees it did not
choose the pear or the cherry. 1t
stopped it's work of defoliation about
the twentieth of June, although many
cocoons were spun earlier than this.
The moths emerged from the co,oons
about July l. The work OF the moth
lasts from two to three weeks. The

Birds are furnished with a peculiar
membrane, which in a state of repose
lies in the inner angle of the eye,
but is movable by two distinct muscles,
which draw it over the corner. 1t is,
to certain extent, transparent, for,
according to Cuvier, birds can look
through it, as the eagle does when
looking at the sun. This membrane
is called the third eyelid. One of the
most comical and grotesque animals
is the "spectacled bear" which de-
rives its chief attraction from the
light-colored rings around its eyes.
These-the greater part of the face
being, like the body, black-have ex'
actly the appearance of a pair of COM
mon goggles" through which the
beast seems to look with an air OF
mingled wisdom and imbecility. The
specialized bear is only found in the
mountainous regions of Chill, South

QUAINT AND CURIOUS.

An apple orchard in Jefferson county,

lar hill over half mile in height.
The trees grow straight out from the
hillside, and when an apple drops
from tree it falls nearly half a mile
before it alights on the ground.
