How to Rencvate scorched Linen.

A poor ironer is one of the trials
Of housekeeping. Scorched clothes are
often discarded as hopeless, but if not
too much burned may be made all
right by the patient use of onion juice.
Bake the onion and squeeze out the
juice. Mix it with an ounce of fuller's
earth, a little shredded soap and a
wineglassful of vinegar. Heat the
mixture till the soap is dissolved. Then
wait till it is cold before applying.
Rub it well over the scorched place,
leave to dry and then put the gar
ment in the regular washing.

Feeding For MILK.

John Dean, writing in The American
Agriculturist, says:
Upon proper feeding devolyes the
financial success of every dairy farm.
As look at the question it is this: To
get the best results from the least ex-
pense. / have Is cows, mostly Hol-
stems. The milking is started about
$50 a. m. and is completed and milk
cared for by $780, Then l feed each
wells Evergreen sugar corn, upon
which | give them their grain ration
composed of two quarts gluten meal
and five quarts shorts and middlings
mixed. At noon the cows are let out to
water and exercise in the yard for one
hour only in fine weather. My expert
ence has been that the warmer and
more quiet the stock is Kept the better
the result will be.
At $50 p. m. feed the same amount
as fed in the morning. Milking begins
at p. m. and is finished and cared for
by G, after which the stock is given a
feed of dry fodder, which consists of
either English hay, oats cut in milk
and cured as hay, Hungarian hay or
meadow or swale hay, SO that the cows
get change of feed every day. While
have tried a number Of ways Of
feeding, the method am now pursu-
ing gives entire satisfaction, yet am
ready to accept any method which will
recommend itself to me to be superior
to this. The result of one years ex-
pertinent with the above mentioned
method has been to get $500 S1a quart
cans of milk from Ia cows.

How to Control San Jose scale.

The experience in California, cover
ing many years, has abundantly dem
onstrated that this scale insect can be
controlled, and the one remedy there is
is in spraying with the lime, salt and
sulphur wash. This wash is very eff
fective, and its use is possible i'll all eli
mates similar to those of the Pacific
coast. In the east the moister climate
and the more frequent rainfalls at aud
subsequent to the time when treat
ments have to be made render this
wash Ineffective, and distinct methods
of treatment have been found to be
necessary. The methods of control for
the east as given by Entomologist G. L.
Marlatt in the order Of their ilnpor-
tance are as follows: First. the soap
treatment; second. treatment with pure
kerosene; third, treatment with crude
petroleum; fourth, treatment with me-
chanical mixtures of either of the last
two oils with water. In the main these
are all winter treatments and are made
at any time when the trees are in a
dormant. leafess condition The treat
meDts enumerated are all for trees in

enough infested to require such treat
ment is best destroyed For the gener-

"Yes; do you know him?''
II never saw him before. He is
married. He ought to live in fiat,
but doesn't. His wife is afraid Of the
hired girl and he is left-handed."
"Mr. Holmes. you are an everlast-
ing marvel. How can you tell all that
about man you don't know, and
whom you never saw before %
Look at the second knuckle on his
left hand. You see 1t is badly skin
ned. Also there's black mark on his
left cuff. Now, let us see what we
must make of this. When left-hand-
ed man pokes up the furnace fire how
does he do 1t !? BY putting his left
hand forward, OF course. Thus 1t hap
pened that 1t was his left hand which
scraped against the furnace door.
The blackened cuff shows that 1t was a
furnace door. Having this foundation
to work upon, the rest is easy. If he
lived in fiat he would have no fur
mace to look after, and If his wife were
not afraid of the hired gir!,they would
make the latter do the poking up. 1t
is all very simple, If ones perceptive
faculties are properly trained. He
can't really afford to live in house,
because If he could he would have q
man to look after the furnace. There
fore, he ought to live in flat"
"But, hold on. How do you know
the man is married? He can't be over
30 years at the most. Why may it not
be possible that he lives at home with
his widowed mother?"
"My dear SIR said Sherlock Holmes,
Jr., 81 am surprised at your lack Of
perspicacity. If he lived at home with
his widowed mother, he would permit
her to attend to the furnace herself" !"
