New Churns.

When it becomes necessary to pro-
cure a new churn for the dairy, get one
with. a marked capacity at least one
half larger than the quantity of cream
that Is expected to be churned. We
never saw churn Of any pattern that
did not do it's work better when from
one-half to two-thirds full than when
more was put in it. We have some
prejudice against those churns which
have paddles or other arrangements in
side, though the best one we ever used
was built so, and we made good butter
and salted it and worked it in the
churn. But that was before we ever
saw an oscillating churn or swing
churn, and when we saw one of those
we quickly decided that they were on
the right principle, easier to handle,
easier to keep clean and sweet and less
liable to injure the butter.-American
Cultivator.

Leaf-RolIing CaterpiIlars.

There are many kinds of "leaf-roll-
ing" caterpillars, each employing a diff
ferent mode of rolling the leaf, but in
all cases the leaf is held in position by
the silken threads spun by the caterpil-
lar. There are plenty of birds about
the trees, and they know well enough
that within the circled leaves little
caterpillars reside. But they do not
find that they can always make meal
on the caterpillars, and for the follow
ing reason: The curled leaf is like a
tube open at both ends, the caterpillar
lying snugly in the interior. So when
a bird puts his beak into one end Of the
tube, the caterpillar tumbles out at the
other, and let's itself drop to the dis
tance Of some feet, supporting itself by
a silken thread that it spins. The bird
finds that it's prey has escaped, and not
having sufficient inductive reason to
trace the silken thread and so find the
caterpillar, goes off to try its fortune
elsewhere. he danger being over, the
caterpillar ascends its silken ladder
and quietly regains possession of it's
home.

Sheen W0rn1s.

The full treatment recommended by
the Ohio experiment station for worms
in sheep or lambs is to put a gallon of
f1axseed in a cheesecloth sack and
place this in a kettle with two gallons
of water and let it steep for two hours.
Then remove the bag and let it drain
thoroughly into the kettle. When the
flaXseed tea is about as warm as fresh
ly drawn milk: put 4 ounces into bot
tie and add a common tablespoonful of
gasoline for each sheep of 80 to 80
pounds weight. Shake well for a min
ute or two, then turn into the drenching
bottle and give to the sheep. Have
the sheep set up on it's rump and held
between the knees, taking care not to
throw the head farther back than the
line of the back. The sheep should be
souSed in the evening and not fed be-
fore 10 o'clock, when the dose may be
given. Allow them to remain three
hours longer without food or drink;
then let them feed until evening. Re
in a weeks time give three days more
Of the treatment and again repeat at
end of ten days more, always giving
the medicine after about sixteen hours
fasting and fasting about three hours
after giving it. The f1axseed tea need
not be made fresh each time, but should
be warmed every time, as the gasoline
mixes better with it and passes down
from the mouth and throat to stomach.

A WONDERFUL TlMEPIECE.

The MatiIe Watch, of Which Mark
Twain Wrote a Description.
What is, perhaps, the most wonder
sion of a resident of Prince George
County, Maryland.
This remarkable timepiece, known as
the Matile watch, from the name of it's
maker, was made at Looe, Switzerland,
about forty years ago. 1t formed q fea-
ture of the Swiss exhibit. at the cen
tennial held at Philadelphia in 1876,
and was purchased on that occasion by
its present owner. A description of the
watch by Mark Twain Is. L. Clemens)
is as remarkable for accuracy as hu-
morous. The well-known writer thus
gives his impressions of the marvellous
piece of mechanism:
Il have examined the wonderful
watch made by Mr.. H. l.. Matile, and,
indeed, it comes nearer to being a hu-
man being than any piece of mechan-
ism l ever saw before. In fact, it
knows considerably more than the
average voter. 1t knows the move
ments of the moon, and keeps exact
record of them; it tells the day Of the
week, the date of the month, and the
month of the year, and will do this
perpetually; 1t tells the hour of the day,
and the minute, and the second, and
even splits the second into ffths, and
marks the division by stop hands, hav-
ing two of the latter; it can take accu-
rate care Of two race horses that start,
not together, but one after another; it
is q repeater (wherein the voter is sug-
gested again, and musically chimes the
hour, the quarter, the half, and the
three-quarter hour, and also the min
utes that have passed of an uncom-
pleted quarter-hour, SO that a blind
man can tell the time of day by it to the
exact minute.
such is this extraordinary watch.
1t ciphers to admiration. l should
think one could add another wheel and
make it read and write, still another
and make it talk; and think one might
take out several of the wheels that
are already in it and it would still be a
more intelligent citizen than some that
help to govern the country. On the
whole, 1 think it is entitled to vote
tnat is, if it's sex is Of the right kind"
The watch was sold for 81, 400, and
it is still performing its complex func-
tions with the greatest regularity

be fed out as pastures grow scanty, and
stock up to the capabilities of the best
of the season. If butter was made more
cows would enable them to keep more
hogs or raise more young calves, but
they are seldom in that up to the ca
pacity of the cows they have. Very
few in New England have any sheep,
yet we believe that twice as many
sheep as cows can be kept in any pas
ture along with the cows, and after the
first season the cows will find better
feed because the sheep have been there.
And in poultry the capacity of a farm
for poultry keeping is only limited by
the ability of some one to properly care
for them. All this means more work,
but it means more manure, better crops
and larger profits.-American Cultiva.

The Nose Lasts Longest,

Bone and cartilage enter so largely
into the structure of the nose and de-
termine it's characteristics, that it un-
dergoes little perceptible change, as
rule, with the lapse of years. The
brow becomes wrinkled, and crows
feet gather round the eyes, which
themselves gradually grow dim as time
rolls on; cheeks lose the bloom which
cosmetics cannot replace, and lips their
fuliness and color.
The chin, dimpled in youth, develops
angularities or globularities, as the
case may be, and the eyebrows be-
come heavy with the crop of many
years growth. The nose shows no
mark comparable to these familiar
facial indications fthe approach of old
age, and practically enjoys immunity
from the ravages which time makes on
the other features of the face. Next to
the nose, probably the ears, as a rule,
show the fewest and least obvious
signs Of old age.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Value of Skim Milk.

Prof. Henry, in Feed and Feeding" :"
gives table showing the value Of
skim milk when fed to swine at the rate
of one to three pounds of milk with a
pound of cornmeal, or when from seven
to nine pounds of milk was used to the
pound of meal. With corn at $40 per
ton the milk was worth Is cents per
hundred pounds when the smaller
quantity was used, and only nine cents
when the larger amount was used. AS
corn advanced in price the rates were
at $12, IS and II cents; at $14, 21 and
13 cents; at $16, "a and Is cents; at SIS,
% and 16 cents; at 500, 81 and 1S cents;
and at $50 per ton for corn, or IS cents
a bushel, milk was worth 36 and 27
cents per hundred pounds, being in
each case of most value when from one
to three pounds of milk was used with
a pound of meal. These experiments
were made by actual feed tests on
swine with varying quantities of milk
and grain and grain alone, and are the
most conclusive of any we have ever
seen reported.

For l was only just sixteen,

Since we met by the shore,
And I've come back from torrid zone,
And we have met once more.

Explain it, orb divine!-

And am twenty-nine!

Some prefer to fasten the chain farther
back on The plow beam or at the stand
ard. In turning under very heavy corn
stubble the chain is sometimes found
too light to do it's work well, and an
extra device is added. This is round
stick of wood one foot long and two
inches in diameter, one end pointed and
the other f1attened, and wired to chain
at point chain leaves furrow to fasten
to plow beam. The earth as it leaves
the moldboard falls on the stick and
causes it to hold the chain always in

tom of the furrow the heaviest corn
