ers Is Not as Hard as 1t seems
at First Glance.

by farmers if / did not have good deal
of trouble in breaking them to being

surprise has been expressed, and the
remark made that they nearly always
have a great deal of trouble-one say
ing that he usually had to wrestle long,
and have his pail kicked away from
him many times, before he ''could sub
due the animal and take the kinks out
of her" As many others may have
had a similar experience, it may in
terest them to learn how such trouble
can be avoided.
In caring for my heifers, have had
them carded two or three times week
and when doing so, have handled their
bags and teats carefully from either
side, so that they became familiar with
such handling; so when they came in,
they were not frightened at an attempt
to milk them. But to them the act of
milking was a new thing, and they
would sptefully kick. In such eases,
If gentle patting and word would not
prove effective, ! took chain and put it
over the back and around the body,
just in front of the bag, hitching it
somewhat tight. This always proves
effective; sometimes one trial is suffi-
cient, or perhaps it needs TO be used
several times, but it is always sure
without hurt to animal, its disposition
or temper.
One farmer, when told how easy it
was to break cow from kicking said
such knowledge would have saved him
many hard tussle and a good mixer,
as he had to turn to beef an otherwise
valuable cow.-Charles o. Newton, in

TWO GRATING SYSTEMS.
One Is known as the Cleft, the Other
the whip Method, and Both
Are Excellent.

A method often used is called cleft
grating. Select branch from one
to two inches in diameter, saw it off
at a smooth place, far enough above
any knot or branch so that it will split
easily, then split it in the center by
driving a strong knife into the end. The
scion must be twig which grew last
year. The buds on the scion must be
snugly wrapped in their winter coats
and must not have begun to grow.
Dormant scions can be gotten at any
time during the winter, but if grated
then they would dry and wither long
before the time for them to grow.
Hence we must wait until the tree is
ready to grow in spring. The scions
must be taken sooner and kept in q

Those who are much troubled by any
of the several species of cUtworm
should remember that they can easily
be destroyed by the use of a mixture Of
bran and Paris green, moistened with
sweetened water, just enough to make
into little balls that are to be placed by
the side of each hill, or scattered at in
tervals of three or four feet apart along
the drills. The worms will eat this
in preference to the plant, and thee will
never eat plants again after once try
ing this. Each ball should be about a
teaspoonful. One pound of Paris green
to so pounds of bran is sufficient. 1t
should not be put where the poultry
can get it, but poultry have no business
IN the cultivated fields.

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dtion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

scions in at the outer edges with the

scion crosses the line between the wood

scions are in position, remove the
wedge and let the split close up, hold

Then some wax will be needed, because

"The application of the Norfolk and

the opinions of citizens Col. l.. D.
Starke hit the nail on the head when
he said:
The present trend of official events
would seem to indicate that Norfolk is
10 be made an inland town, and that
the fiARBOR of Norfolk is to be yir-
tually shut in.
The true policy, is to DIG OUT
THE HARBOR and not FILL IT UP.
1 am opposed to the policy of leav-
ing only narrow and tortuous chan
mel way from the Norfolk Terminal coal
piers, at Lambert's Point. up into what
we have heretofore considered the har-
Dor of Norfolk. This is playing into
the hands Of Newport News. where
they keep open a broad sea-way and
can accommodate any number of ships
without colliding with each other or
obstructing navigation. Compare the
harbor of Newport News with the har-
Dor of Norfolk! Are we not DESTROY
ING the harbor of Norfolk by running
piers out into the harbor, instead of
digging out the harbor?
