To Cure Cancer.


Cancer is a terrible diseaee, and one
that battles medical skill in many in
stances. Here is cure. vouched for
by an English paper. 1t may do no
harm to try it. 1t might prove success
full. The recipe is as follows: Take
handful of fresh. green violet leaves,
pour pint of boiling water upon them,
cover and let stand twelve hours, IN
til the water is discolored green. Then
strain off the liquid, dip piece of lint
into the infusion. of which a sufficient
quantity must be warmed. Put on the
vet iint, hot. wherever malady is,
cover the lint With oilskin or a thin
macintosh and change it whenever
dry. The cold infusion should be fresh
every alternate day.

MILK FEVER IN CATTLE.
Most Easily Prevented and Hardest
Trouble to Cure.

Most Easily Prevented and Hardest
Trouble to Cure.
Milk fever is the most easily prevent
ed and the hardest of all troubles to
cure, said DIR. Smead before the New
York farmers institute. Horses and
cows need the same class of foods
when idle or dry as they do when at
work, but not so much of them. A mus
Gle and milk food is health food also.
A cow that is dried off by force con-
tinues to make blood and gets in a
plethoric condition. Some milk settles
Into the udder after you stop milking
and may form what may become a
poison to the system. If this is alb
sorbed into the system a few days be-
fore calving. an intoxication of the
nerves will follow. The name is a
MISSIONER, for no fever can be found.
Milk out this bad milk frequently and
there will be but little trouble.
About two weeks before calving give
three-quarters of pound of EPSON
salts and tablespoonful of gentian.
IL the cow is taken sick, act at once,
for a few hours will be too late Into
one pint of boiling water put one-half
ounce iodide of potassium. AS soon as
cool enough SO the finger can be held
In it inject one-fourth of the dose into
each teat. The tube should be about
two inches long and not penetrate or
puncture the udder; it should be steril-
lied before using. Experiments by Dr.
Pierson and many assistants resulted
In 60 to 90 per cent of cures. Put hot
blankets on the back after wfinging
them out of hot water. This is worthy

STRAWBERRY CULTURE.
The Art and Science of 1t In Brief.
No Plants Lost by This Plan.

The Art and Science of 1t In Brief
No Plants Lost by This Plan.
Do not plant in a small garden, but
and team. A few long rows are better
than many short ones. Plant on ground
free of weed seeds and as early in the
spring as the ground is in good work
ing condition. Have the clods well pull
verified, then mark off, making burrows
three or four inches deep, 40 inches
apart. Have your plants ready and
set them as soon as the furrow is open
ed. Take n bunch of plants, dip the
roots in water, then lay them quickly
on moist soil and sprinkle the soil over
the roots until it adheres to every root
let, then set them quickly before the
dirt dries. If this is well done, you
will not lose a plant.
Plant Is inches apart in the row,
spreading the roots out well. Plant
them on the level; if above it they will
dry out and die, and if below it in cul-
tivation the dirt will roll down upon
them and cause much needless labor.
The same day the plants are set run a
cultivator over the ground. Keep the
surface loose at all times till frost in
the fall. Never pillow with large shov-
els nor throw the dirt up to the plants
so as to form a ridge. Plow at all
times as close to the plants as pos
sible, dragging the runners with the
plow close up in the row, so as to make
a matted row. If weeds appear in the
rows, pull them out. Thus advises a
contributor to American Agriculturist.

two, about one foot apart. Above the
base thus formed is built n frame six

Farm inter nInkinr

The finest butter does not come by
chance. There must be no mistake, no
neglect, from the time the milk is in
the pail till the butter is in its package.
There must be, first of all, the most
scrupulous cleanliness both in the sta
bic and the dairy, for milk, like man,
to whose needs it ministers, is very
prone to be overcome of evil. If it's
purity is to be retained, it must be kept
out of bad company. No matter how
clean the stable is kept, get the milk
out of 1t as soon as possibIe-not leave
it there in temptation.
Be sure. too, your milk will find ev-
cry den of vice in the seams of pail and
can, and veritable den of vice every
seam and corner will be if they have
the slightest chance All dairy utensils
should be made with just as few seams
as possible, and the man ought to have
a rushing business who will make them
with no seams at ALL But if new
seams are bad what will we say of the
patches AMI blotches of solder on old
dishes? Yet too often such dishes are
used for milk.

RAISING DAIRY COWS
REASONS WHY II is PREFERABLE TO
BUYING CATTLE.

Lessons the Danger of Introducing
Is Cheaper-M0re Likely to BE Free
From Tricks.
A speaker at the meeting of the
Pennsylvania Dairy union gave four
objections to the practice of buying
dairy cows and four reasons why the
dairyman should raise his own cows.
We will unite them, as they are simply
the reverse of each other. says The
American Cultivator.
If one raises his own, he knows the
ancestry of it and can raise his calves
from his best cows and from the best
sire that he can get the use of. If not
absolutely sure of getting one better
than it's mother, he stands a good
chance of doing So while if he buys a
COW there are many chances that she
will not prove as good as he was led to
expect by the representations of the
seller.
If he keeps his animals under good
sanitary conditions, lie need have but
little fear of disease, either contagious
or inherited, while from a COW bought
and put in the herd there may be some
disease introduced that will contami-
nate every animal in it. This is of I'M
portance in these days of tuberculosis.
If one raises a cow, she should begin
to be self supporting or little more at
2 years old and should be useful and
profitable for many years after that,
while the majority of cows that are
brought in for sale are from Z to 8
years old and often sold for some
fault, so that the purchaser gets but
one years service out of them.
He figured that he could raise heif-
er to 2 years old for cost of $32.53,
after which it becomes a source of
profit, while the average price of a
good COW brought into that state would
be $50, and there would be chances of
her not being very good at that.
To his reasons we will add some 9th
ers which we think scarcely less i'm
portant The man who raises a COW
properly from a good parent never
need have one with those faults usual
ly called tricks She need not be a
kicker or cross in barn or pasture nor
breachy, either tearing down or jump
ing over fences, while we have known
men to buy cows with one or more of
these faults.
A COW bought and placed in a new
spot among a strange herd will sell
dom do her best unless for some fault
she has been changed around so often
that she expects to change hands ev-
cry season or oftener.
The man who raises his cows cannot
only breed for the type he wants-but-
ter, beef or quantity of milk-but he
can feed for that particular type and
bring out the best there is in it if he
understands his business. These are
good reasons. but we will add another
A well bred calf well cared for be-
comes what some one said the pig
was, poor mans savings bank
where he puts in few cents day
without feeling it and after awhile
draws out his investment when it is a
welcome amount to him. 1t is like the
man who raised the colt and at years
old he said it had not cost him any
thing, for if he had not raised it he
would not have had cent more money
than he bad when he had the colt.
