An Excellent Liniment.-Here is a recipe
for making as good liniment as ever man
made for bruises, strains rheumatism,
and If a poor young mother is suffering
with sore or caked breasts, 1t will give
relief in a few hours, and all can and
should have it ready at all times. We
have not been without it for fifteen years.
1t is good for anything for which lini-
ment is used. Take apple vinegar and
turpentine equal parts, add one-halI gill
coal oil, two tablespoons of cayenne pep
per, one-haf square inch gum camphor
and common salt, all that will dissolve,
to make one pint. Shake we'll to thor
oughly mix ingredients. Doctors say they
have no better. Remember when apply
ing Imminent to bruises that continued
rubbing will scatter the blood and keep
1t from getting sore, and the same pro
cess in rheumatism viii give great relief
When my brother was young doctor,
and first located, he wrote me for this
recipe for liniment.
A successful poultry-raiser says: There
is a class OF enthusiastic novices who
write to know If they can make a living
at poultry-keeping. They might as well
ask If they can make a living at bridge
building. A living can be made at bridge
building by any one who knows all about
1t, but for one, we would soon be in the
bridge building, as we would not know
how to begin on a bridge. And one can
make a living at the poultry business-if
he knows how. No novice can do ii,
and we are frank to say SO. but it will
at least cost the novice less to begin
and try to learn at the poultry business
than in any other direction" 1t is rather
strange that a man should expect TO
succeed in a business in which he has
had no experience; yet we find new men
every year rushing into poultry keeping,
though without a moments experience
in poultry raising.
Wine; Brief observation-disclosures tell me
how to make wine out of grapes or
peaches, and oblige:
Mash the grapes, or peaches, in a tub
and as mashed put in an open-end barrel
with a faucet two inches above the bot
tom, says the Farm and Ranch. Cover
with a gunny sack and set in a warm
place. After five to seven days fermenta-
ton, draw off the clear juice and put
it into a clean barrel, leaving the bung
open. Place a bag of sand over the bung.
Reserve some of the juice and with this
keep the barrel full to the bung. The
juice when first drawn off will need from
one-fourth to two pounds of sugar to the
gallon, unless the fruit is very sweet.
Wild grapes take about two and a half
pounds. After the second fermentation the
wine may be bottled, or barreled, draw
ing it off carefully to avoid the lees.
Cotton Growers Warfare Against Wee
Wis. M. Lesene, of Texas, writes to
American Agriculturist:
For the last two or three years the
Mexican weevil has been most disastrous
for our cotton crop. This season farmers
and other business men, realizing that we
must fight weevils or abandon cotton, have
adopted the former course and are now
waging a relentless warfare. Other coun-
ties have adopted the same policy and de-
c!oedly beneficial results are being report
ed. As much as 15c per 100 has been paid
for these enemies of cotton. Up to the
end of first week in June over 100000 vice.
wills had been paid for.
The theory is that comparatively few
OF the weevils pass through the winter
and by destroying as many of them as
possible In the beginning of the season
they will be so greatly reduced and con-
trolled that the crop will be matured be-
fore they can develop in numbers suf-
hcient to destroy or make great Roadway
against it. Large forces of women and
children are in the fields catching and
destroying these pests. Corn and cotton
are now fine and growing luxuriantly.
Fields, with few exceptions. are clear of
grass and weeds, and look like we'll culti-
waited gardens
while the weevils for the last few
years have seriously damaged the cotton
crops, yet from the invasion of these
pests, good may result to Southern Texas
generally. The uncertainty of raising
cotton has stimulated experiments in the
diversification of crops, which in many
instances have proven highly satisfactory
The fruit and truck interests especially
are developing. The soil aud climate of
the coast country are highly adapted to
this branch of industry"
