The Sun as a Hair Tonic.

The Greek maidens of old who sat
on the walls of the city and combed
their hair, owed the beauty of their
tresses to the suns rays. When the
hair is washed, sit beside lowered
window, as the sun shines stronger
through glass, and allow the hair to
dry as it is being brushed. No bleach
has been found SO successful as the
sun, which strengthens and beauti-
fes generally. When the hair shows
tendency to fall out, the very best
thing to stop its coming out and pro-
mote its growth is the abundant use
of olive oil Saturate the hair thor
pughly and keep it saturated for a
week, until the dry scalp has absorbed
all it will. then wash with pure soap
and water. If this operation is re-
peated every two or three months the
effect is said to be marvellous.

Dirty Milk Cans.


The city milk trade is one that per-
mits the greatest amount of untidt-
ness simply for the reason that the
consumers know nothing of the con-
ditions surrounding the milk traf1c.
1t is often asserted that, could the
consumers know in what kind of cans
their milk is handled, many of them
would quit the use of that article Of
food altogether. The cans that go
back to the farmers are some of them
SO very dirty that it is impossible
to get the stencil out of them even
by scrubbing and steaming, and many
shippers of milk have no steaming ap-
pliances. The cans, instead of being
washed out with cold water after use.

TINS sours and putrefes for a day be-
fore being removed. 1t must be re-
membered that milk is blood held in
suspension and that it putredes as
does blood and flesh. Experts have
testified that after such cans have
been subjected to all kinds of cleans
ing processes, including steaming in
a steam chest. the smell still ching
to them, and must have remained
with them after they were again filed
with milk. After this process has
gone on for several months in sum-
mer, what must be the condition
such cans SO used and so abused?

Chicago Butter Supply.

The receipts of butter at Chicago
this summer have been greater than
during any previous summer for sew
eral years at least. From the nrst OF
May to the middle of August there
were received over 652, 900 tubs, which
is about $4,000 tubs m excess of what
was received during the same period
last year. During the summer of 1898
$4,000 tubs were received, which
was considered phenomenal at that
time. In spite of this large supply
this year the prices have held up, due
largely to the rapid growth in popu-
lation of the city and the continued
activity In business. It is reported
that the home trade is larger than
ever before and seems inclined to take
all the f1rst-class goods that come in.
Studying the market one notices that
the only kinds of butter that do not
sell well are the poorer grades. though
they are disposed of at a low price.
Thus ladies" are quoted as SLOW" in
sale. Ladies' are produced by work
ing over country butter till it is uni
form in salt and coloring. It is poor
in quality because it is some days old
before subjected to the re-working
process. Ladle goods are neither a
profit nor credit to the farmers.

Shirt Waist Novelties.

At a shop given mainly to the de-
velopment of the shirt waist in what
is considereA as it's best form are
seen the belts, stocks and sleeve links
that go with the practical charmer.
The absence of studs is easily &C
counted for; the new shirt waist
fastens with huge pearl buttons, SO
studs are no longer necessary.
Most of the belts, whether of leath-
er, canvas or silk, are widest at the
back, rounding from there to mere
nothing at the front, where the tongue
slips through metal harness"
buckle.
The favorite sleeve links are round,
and green jude is a stylish material
for them. Real and imitation scarabs
are also seen, as well as gold-set Bra
lillian bugs and the old-fashioned cor
al roses.-Chicago American.

A good many cheese factories are
now being equipped with butter max
ing machinery, SO that they can make
cheese in the summer and butter in
the winter and thus take the farm
ers' milk the year round. One of the
objections to cheese factories in some
localities is the fact that they run
for only six months in the year and
the farmer is left without a market
for his milk during the rest Of the
year. By this process also the farmer
has to have all OF his cows calve in
the spring SO that he may get as big
a flow of milk as possible during the
months when he can sell it. It is
much more to the interest Of the
farmer to have some of his COWS
calve in the fall. In the first place his
calves can then have the skimmilk
at an age when milk in some form
must be supplied to them Later they
can live ON pasture grasses. The man
that produces milk for the summer
cheese factory only has none for his
calves, and the whey is a poor substi-
tute. All the year dairying must take
the place of the summer method it
we are to have our dairy localities
centers of industry and prosperity.

A Potato Bug Army.

From the Farmers Review: On the
first week In August there was met
with in the road an army of potato
bugs as thick as grasshoppers. The
road was full for ten rods SO that they
just covered the ground. We do not
know where they were going, but they
were travelling south. There were
thousands Of them in the draw. They
have never been heard of since, and
no unusual damage to potatoes has
been reported.-A- s. Nen, R1chland

Treatment for Heaves.

In accordance with the request OF
a reader of the Farmers Review we
quote the advice for treatment Of
heayes from two writer's:
Prof D. Mcintosh: Feed so as not
to overload the stomach; allow lit
tie hay to be eaten first, then give
water and then oats. Never feed more
than twelve to fourteen pounds OF
hay per day and fifteen pounds of
oats. Boiled aaxseed mixed with q
little bran at night will keep the bow
els regular, besides being very nutrf-
tious. Sulphate of iron, four ounces;
nitrate of potassium, four ounces; nux
vOmica, two ounces; divided into
twenty-four doses, and one given ev-
cry night in bran mash, is very use
full. After this quantity has been
given, skip two or three weeks and
repeat. One ounce of Fowler's solu-
ton of arsenic given every night in
small bran mash, when the animal is
at work in the spring, is very good
and often enables an animal to do a
good days work, which it could not do
except for the arsenic. This can
be continued for a month to six weeks
without any danger to the animal.
Then stop for "a few weeks or as long
as the animal can do without it, and
when the breathing becomes difficult
resume again and so on. have treat
ed horses in this way and they would
do their work with ease for years.
Jonathan Periam: Treatment with
a view to permanent cure is gener-
ally not successful. However the all
ment may be greatly ameliorated by
q strict attention to the diet, which
should be the reverse of that which
has hitherto been given. Give nutri-
tive food of small bulk and best quail
ity, such as hnely-cut wild hay mixed
with ground oats and corn, bran and
a small quantity of ground oil-cake
or fiaxseed meal, and slightly mois-
tened. In summer give green or sue
culent food instead of hay, and in
winter daily allowances Of sliced
carrots and other roots. Such horses
should never be fed or watered i'm
mediately before use, and they should
be used only for slow and easy work.

Alfalfa as Horse Feed.

The alfalfa crop is of great import
ance in many regions of the United
States, and is depended upon as
standard feed for farm animals. New
ertheless, the statement is often made
that it is not good feed for horses,
though excellent for other farm ami
mails. The Utah Station believes that
it is also suited for horses and reports
a number of experiments by L. A.
Merrill which bear out this belief and
supplement the experience gained In
using alfalfa as the principal coarse
fodder of the station horses for a num-
Der of years.
In the first test, which began Janu-
ary 13, 1899, four of the station farm
work horses were fed on a ration con-
s1sting of ten pounds of bran and
shorts and 25 pounds of hay, two be-
ing given alfalfa hay and two timothy.
The average cost of the alfalfa ration
was 80 cents per day and the timothy
ration 1873 cents. During the ninety
five days of the first period of the test
the horses fed timothy lost 124 E~unds,
those fed alfalfa pounds. The ra-
tions were then reversed for fifty-stx
days. During this time the horses
fed alfalfa hay gained Is pounds, those
fed timothy hay lost 60 pounds.
The second test began November 20
and the experimental conditions were
practically the same as before. except
that the grain ration was larger aver
aging little over IL pounds per head
daily. In ninety-one days the two
horses fed the alfalfa ration gained 55
pounds, while those fed the timothy
hay lost Al pounds. The two rations
cost IL and 13 cents per head per day,
respectively For a period of sixty
eight days the rations were reversed,
the grain ration being increased to
some Is pounds per head per day. On
alfalfa hay there was a total gain of
65 pounds and on timothy hay a loss Of
100 pounds.
The rations were also tested for
thirty nine days with two driving
horses used for light work. In addi-
tion to some IL pounds of grain per
day, one horse ate 8.3 pounds timothy
hay, the other 16 pounds of alfalfa hay
on an average. On the former ration
there was loss of SO pounds and on
the latter gain of 10 pounds. the cost
of the two rations being 9.5 cents and
81 cents respectively.-Depa of

Have Goui Ruttermakers.

1t does not pay to employ a poor
buttermaker when a good buttermaker
can be secured at a little advance in
the salary. Get a competent man at
all hazards. Many a buttermaking
establishment loses more by employ
ing a poor buttermaker than it saves
in his salary. In the first place, poor
butter will not long continue to bring
a good price. In the second place, the
incompetent man will lose butter-fat
and never know 1t, and this butter-fat
lost in the course of year will ag-
gregate a very large sum. Then, too.
the buttermaker that is not exper-
fenced with machinery will destroy
expensive machines and never mis-
trust that his ignorance is the cause
of it. He will blame the company
that makes the machines. The more
buttermaking becomes a science the
more educated must the buttermaker
be.
