The Cal> of Toilet Articles.

In these days of luxurious toilet fit
tings one is often surprised to see the
carelessness with which they are treat
ed. Brushes, in particular, suffer from
lack of care, although so many are
needed for various purposes
Hairbrushes, toothbrushes, nail and
hat brushes are so generally mounted
in silver or silver and ebony that they
require a good deal of attention, as
tarnished mountings are as bad as
shabby finery.
Silver backs of brushes, if rubbed
daily with a chamois leather, will sell
dom need regular cleaning.
Occasionally moisten a little whiting
with alcohol and brush the silver with
this. Brush out again and polish with
a soft chamois.
The backs and handles of ebony
brushes should be rubbed over with a
little boiled linseed oil after washing
and then rubbed with a soft duster
till every vestige of oil is removed.
Special care is needed in cleaning sill
yer initials on these, and only very
slightly moistened whiting should be
used or it is apt to leave white mark
on the wood, which is extremely diff
cult to remove.
In brushing the whiting off after
cleaning be careful not to scratch the
ebony, for once scratched it is spoiled.
Ordinary wooden back brushes can
be treated with linseed oil in the same
way as ebony.
Tooth and nail brushes should al
ways stand in such position that all
water can drain from them.-New
York Tribune.

Feed According to tho Work.

l care for farm horses through the
winter according to the amount of
work they have to do. Some winters
we have more work than we can do,
or than we can get to do during some
other winters. Last winter l broke
all of my corn ground. This winter
l have no plowing that l can do at
all. So our horses last year, or winter
rather, were fed differently from the
way they will be fed this winter. Dur
ing the winter feed just enough to
keep the horses in good flesh, and
solid flesh at that. | don't like the
idea of getting horses overfat in win
ter and running them down to poor
in summer. Would rather have them
in good flesh the year round To do
this feed according to the work to be
done. For winter feed a little corn
and oats, plenty of straw (oats straw
preferred), little shredded fodder and
only occasionally small feed of clover
hay; and be sure that they get plenty
of water at regular hours of the day
Salt regularly and give plenty of exer-
else when weather will permit find
that horses wintered in this way are
in better shape for work when spring
comes. Then, of course. increase their
grain diet and put them on hay, mixed
preferred, in place of the straw fodder.
You will be surprised how they will
stand work and hold their flesh. One
year | worked four horses all the year
on four loads of hay, but when they
were not at work they were in good
pasture during summer and fall, and
in the winter they were fed this straw
and fodder have just mentioned. So
by feeding in this way we not only
save feed, but keep our horses with
good appetites as well.-T A. F., in In

Fighting Rugs and Blights.

The fighting of insect and fungus
enemies is as important as any other
part of potato culture. The applica-
reliable, inexpensive method for fight
ing the insect pests, and bordeaux mix
ture is the only sure preventive Of
the blight AS soon as the potatoes
are three or four inches high, they
should be sprayed with bordeaux mix
ture and paris green, or bordeaux mix
ture and lead arsenate. This should
five or six inches Of additional growth.
When the danger Of the Colorado
beetle is passed, bordeaux mixture
alone can be used The spraying
should be continued as long as the po-
tatoeS continue to make rapid growth
TO ward off the blights it is necessary
that each leaf be protected, so far as
practicable, with a coating of cop
per.
Spraying is the most effective method
of applying insecticides and fun
gicides. To obtain the best results the
material must be forced through pro-
per nozzle so as to make a very fine
mist. On small fields for force pump,
a hose, nozzle and a barrel for holding
the spraying mixture and a wagon
for carrying the above would consti-
tute the necessary spraying outfit. This
form of an outfit can be used not only
for spraying potatoes, but also used on
fruit trees. In large fields, ten and
twenty acres or more, it is advisable
to use an automatic sprayer. In our
practice we have found those that
spray four rows better than where it
is attempted to spray larger number
at one time.-Professor Charles D.
Woods, in American Agriculturist.

know these insects and diseases and
learn the remedies and preventives and
to know what and how to apply them.
The Pacific coast produces more than
one-haIf the grape crop OF the United
States. The varieties grown in this re-
gion are mostly derived from one spe-
cies of grape, Wits vinifera, which is
supposed to be native OF Asia, but by
many years of extensive cultivation in
Europe it has become known as the
European grape. The varieties through
out the Central and Eastern portions
of the United States are largely orig
mated from the native North American
species, and are less liable to the at
tacks of the phyllo era, and are much
less injured when attacked. Couture
is a malady found in the Pacific coast
districts to greater extent than else
where in the United States. The word
is taken from the French, meaning
imperfect bloom and growth of grape,
the punches having berries of different
sizes and state of ripening. The cause
of Couture attributed, by good author
ity, to climatic changes, and is the
most damaging in the raising vine
Yards, though the same trouble is often
found in the market vineyards of the
east, and causes a great deal of trouble
in CHASING and grading grapes for mar
ket. Grapes that are self fertile in
bloom may be benefited in this matter
by sacking as soon as the fruit stem
forms.-S. H. Linton, in The Epitom-
list,

The grape, as we know it today, is
an American plant. Indigenous spe-
cies, found wild over the entire United
States, are nearly equal to the whole
number in the remaining world Hence,
the insect enemies are, to the greater
extent, American in origin. There
fore. the great increase in the vine in
dustry in this country, and desire to
grow the less vigorous European
grapes, make it of vital Importance to
familiarize ourselves with all insect
enemies and diseases, to the end that
we may find quick remedy. In some
cases it is desirable to know q pre
ventive. The grape phylloxera, toge-
ther with such blighting fungous dis
eases as the two mildews and the
bleach rot, outrank all other vine evils.
Upwards Of 200 different insects have
already been listed as enemies to the
vine in this country, and the records
Of the experimental department show
over 100 different insects. Taking this
for text the grape grower has an i'm
portant lesson to learn, and if the best
results are to be obtained the grower
must enter upon these studies at once
The insect enemies and diseases are
referred to here in broad sense, vet

Varied Diet for Chicks.

The Importance of having greatly
varied diet for growing chicks should
be kept in view. Variety tempts their
appetites, while a continuous feeding
of any one kind of food will cause nau-
sea and bowel ailments if long persist
ed in. Do not use damaged food of any
kind. Feed in clean places-never on
the ground contaminated with drop
pings. If feeding troughs are not used
sweep a place clean on the ground be-
fore feeding, and if you can get good
clean sharp sand. scatter some on the
clean feeding ground at least every
day.-Poultry Culture.
