THE GERM-KILLING BATH.

Andrew Nimmo, of Groton, Mass, may
be of considerable value in this work,
having been designed especially for
the purpose of freeing animals of
parasites. AS will be seen, the idea
is to immerse the animal in a bath,
thus subjecting whatever parasitic
growths may have found lOdgment to
the action of the liquid. This of itself
would destroy many of the germs, but
the inventor goes further in his work
and applies a current of electricity to
complete the treatment by destroying
any parasites which have survived the
bath. The liquid preferably used is a
weak solution of acetic acid, as this
will add to the conductivity of the
bath, so that a weak current or one
of low voltage may be sufficient to kill
the germs without injury to the ami
NAL In applying the treatment the
animal is first driven into the bath,
in which one pole of the battery is
placed. A metallic yoke or fork is
then placed over the neck, with a wire
leading from the end of the fork back
to the battery to receive the return
current, the animals head being
forced under the surface of the liquid
for an instant to allow the current
to act on all parts of the skin.-Louis-
Vile Courier-Journal.

MANURE FOR POTATOES.
Commercial Fertilizers Have n Ten d.
ency to Prevent Scab and Rough
ness of Skin.

Most any of the proper commercial
fertilizers will answer the purpose. 1t
is claimed by some authorities that
well-rotted barn manure, even if it
is infected by the scab fungus, will
not injure potatoes if thoroughly
fined and then incorporated into the
soil by repeated blowing and har-
rowing, as the action of the earth
would destroy the fungus. But l be-
heve this theory not sound. Some
years ago 1 cleared away the rem
nants of an old log house which had
not been tenanted in 20 years and
plowed half an acre around where the
house had stood, thinking l would
have fine, rich potato patch"
was particular to plant clean seed, but
the tubers proved to be as scabby a
lot as ever saw. How did this fun
gus get into that particular spot ?
The last family living in the house
must have left it there. There was
another seeming incongruity con-
nected with this case. 1t is generally
believed that an application of lime to
potato ground rather promotes the
growth of the scab fungus. The Chin
ney of this old house was built from
the ground on the outside, as was the
custom in an early day. The stones
were laid in lime mortar. When I
first knew the premises the chimney
had been down for many years, and
the stones and mortar of which it had
been constructed were scattered pro-
miscuously about; but, strangely,
where this mortar had lain the tubers
were free from scab. l certainly can
not account for these cases of scab
and no scab. My experience is that
it is dangerous to use barnyard ma
nure in any manner with growing po-
tatoes.-N. Y. Tribune-Farmer.

DAIRY AND LIVE STOCK.

The American hog has rooted his way
into nearly every corner of the civil
lied world, No country dare go to
war without him.
If you do not know anything about
sheep, don't start with over ten. You
will lose enough on these ten, if you
are not a sheep man by instinct.
Never allow anyone to tease of tickle
your horse in the stable. The animal
only feels the torment, and does not
understand the joke. Vicious habits
are thus brought on.
The fat COW which is fit for the block
at all times is attractive to the eye,
but we have learned from dear expe-
rience that such a COW is otprofitable
to keep. One may pin his faith to the
angular COW, whose bony structure is
pronounced, which is an indication that
her food goes largely to the production
of milk.-Farm Journal.

RIPENING OF CREAM.
teriZes the Process, Good Re-
suits Are Out of the Question.

Shallow setting produces cream suf-
ficiently ripened as general thing, at
the time of gathering. Occasionally it
is oyer-ripened, which sometimes
causes considerable difficulty in MAX
ing good butter. In deep setting, sew
eral skimmings may be put into one
can and held at a temperature of from
60 to 70 degrees. From "a to Sc hours
will be sufficient to ripen it for churn-
ing. Some think it is necessary to use
a starter for cream from deep setting.
If buttermilk is used it should be the
first or top as drawn off the churn,
and it should be carefully kept in glass
jars that have been thoroughly
washed, scalded and kept in a cool,
pure atmosphere. About one-half
pint to one gallon of cream will be suf-
ficient to use.
The abnormal practice of ripening
cream in churn that has not been
washed cannot be too severely con-
demned. The cream is hurried along
fast enough, but bad flavors, propa-
gated in this way, invariably spoil the
butter. Separated cream may be
ripened the same as cream from deep
setting, but it requires more time,
probably an additional ten to 20 hours,
according to circumstances.
Every farmhouse has different
temperature where the milk is kept.
A buttermaker must make rules to fit
the surroundings. Cleanliness, how
ever, applies to every buttermaker and
every milk room. 1t is impossible to
make nicely favored butter with any
part of the surroundings filthy. Fla
vor comes from fermentation that is
induced by germs. Foul dishes, bad
odors and filthy surroundings propa-
gate obnoxious germs that affect the
flavor of butter disastrously. Cleanli-
ness first, last and at all times is abso-
lutely necessary to the production of
good butter.-E. L. Jenkins.

it is necessary for the prisoners to
camp out, so this steel car was con-
structed for the purpose of combining

1t is divided into two compartments;
the larger one, for the prisoners, con-

Called shoulders are very common in
the spring when the horses are first put
to work, and are easier prevented than
cured, especially if the animal is kept
at work. 1t is very important to see
that the collars and harness fit proper
ly; then the collars should be kept
clean; keeping the collars well oiled
will be a help. Wash the shoulders at
noon and night with soft water after
removing the harness. When the teams
are stopped for a rest in the field, pull
the collars away from thei horses

Declares There is Every Reason to Feel sanguine That It Would Have No Serious Ontcome-The situation in Near East Far More DIGicuIt-Thc Alaskan Boundary Award.

Alaskan Boundary Award.
 London, Nov. 9.-The new lord mayor, Sir James Ritchie, gave a banquet to twelve hundred persons in the historic Guild hall tonight. Premier Balfour was the guest of honor. Many notabil- ities were present, including Ambassa- dor Choate.
 After speaking felicitously on the subject of King Edwards birthday the ambassador passed to the Alaskan boundary question, which. he said, was "a happy ending to the only matter of controversy that threatened at any time to create mischief and distrust be- tween these two great English-speak- ing peoples While he believed that ample justice had been done, the result, MT. Choate said, was due more than anything else to the good sense, justice, courage and devotion to duty of Lord Chief Justice Alverstone.
 Premier Balfour prefaced his speech, in reply to the toast, with a lengthy and touching reference to the life and work of his distinguished predecessor.
 Concerning the situation in the Far East, Mr Balfour said there was every reason to feel sanguine that it would have no serious outcome.
 Mr. Balfour said that the Macedonian question raised issues more difficult and more complicated than even those of the Far East, because it touched the all most perennial difficulty of the prob lem of the government of it's European subjects to the sublime porte.
 The premier said that he was con- vinced that this question which has brought anxiety to every court in Eu- rope, must be ultimately settled by the concert of Europe. which could not more effectively carry out It's designs than through the medium of those great powers, Russia and Austria, which had undertaken to deal with the situation.
 Referring to Alaska Premier Balfour said: The danger arising from the un- certain and disputed frontiers in the case between the British empire and luc JAllleel s'ld tSS iitiS SJteli 8utcluSu luf all times.
