Testina Paris Green,

Farmers are being mad to suffer more
than ever this veal by adulterated insecti-
cides that are on the market and paris
green seems to be unusually weak the
present season. In some sections various
grades are sold, it being frankly stated
by the dealers that the cheaper ones are
not equal to the best grade. There is no
in buying a cheap grade of8paris
green. II one pays the highest market
price for the poison and feels that It is
not pure the following test will reveal it:
a portion OF the poison In some
strong ammonia water and If 1t As pure
all will dissolve and the mixture will be
q deep blue color. If all Of 1t falls to,dis-
solve it indicates adulterat1on or impure
ties. Paris green Of the best quality is
vivid greengin color and when adulter-
nted has a grayish cast. If the test
proves that the paris green is not pure
and 1t cannot be returned to the seller it
should be applied in larger quantities than
when the pure article is used in order
that the best possible results from the
adulterated stuff may be had. a.

Indiaestion in Fowls.

h advice not to give up the feeding of
grains wholly during the summer has been
given In this department many times, but
there Is also the other extreme ito be
avoided, that Of feeding too much grain
which invariably brings on indigestion.
Az a:rnle corn should not be fed to poul-
try during the hottest part of the sums
mer. but the grain food should be confined
entirely to wheat and oats, making VI the
balance of the ration from odds N ends
from the table and with allsthe green food
the fowls will eat. If the fowls have an
attack OF Indigestion cut out the grain
portion Of the ration for aSweek n make
q mnsh composed Of scraps Of cooked
meat and vegetables chopped fne and
mixed with enough flour to make 1t stick
together. Feed this with plentySof green
food: giving at the same time plenty of
fresh, clean water and keeping the runs
OF the fowls yell cleaned. n.

f Keeping Milk Pure.

1t Is only during recent years that dali
rymen a begun to realize the impor-
lance Of doing everything possible to keep
the milk as pure as possible and even
now all possible care is not used on the
average run of farms. The iq%uickness
with which milk soura during the sum-
meris not due wholly to atmospheric con-
ditions, but largely to the rapid increase
of hi bacteria as the milk sugar is
changed. 1t is evident therefore that It
Is important to keep out the bacteria n
this may be done, to a considerable ex-
tent, by the proper care Of utensils used
and the proper handling and care Of the
bag and teats.o All utensils should be
scalded and then sun dried, while the I'D
der and tcats should be cleansed at each
milking by the use of warm water and
clean cloths. II possible have the 7ails
Into which the milk goes from the cows so
arranged that the opening Is small. If
this cannot be arranged in any other way,
a. cover:of heavy cloth may be placed over
the top Of the pail n securely fastened,
then%cut a hole eight inches across out
Ipf the middle Of this cloth binding the
so that the cloth will not tear back.
In some sections of the country milk pals
may be had with a cover hinged in the
middle so that one-half of it may be
turned back. Ut is some little trouble to
10 to these precautions to keep bacteria
but, but It will pay to do 1t.
