DIRECTIONS FOR ICES.
Ice Coarse for Freezing, But Fine for
Packing and Beat Cream Thor
oughly After Frozen.

For gallon freezer. not less than
ten pounds OF ice and from two to
three quarts Of coarse salt are needed.
The ice should be rather coarsely
broken for the freezing, but shaven
quite fine for packing. Put salt on
the bottom of the tub, packing it with
Ice In alternate layers till so full that
more would make grinding hard. Turn
slowly and steadily, as jerky, fast
or interrupted movement will never
make smooth, fine cream. After few
minutes, open the can and scrape the
cream as rapidly as possible from the
sides down into the middle, and grind
again. When the water begins to
splash, drain of and fill up the tub
with ice and salt, packing as closely as
possible. Open as cream hardens and
beat in the vanilla or other flavor. ard
grind till it is very hard to move. Then
take out the beaten. and beat or stir
steadily with long: heavy paddle or
spoon, scraping down any cream that
may seem to freeze to the side Of the
can. The beating should be done
quickly, but the cream should be very
smooth when it is over. Drain on the
water, pack with the finer ice and salt
covering the can closely after the
opening in the top has been closed, by
wrapping in sacking or clean old car
pet, and in half an honr the cream can
be used. II allowed to stand longer. IL

Protecting animal. From flies.


The period is upon the country when
flies by the millions are annoying the
cattle, horses and mules, so it is inn
possible for them to eat with peace,
and it is the duty Of the owner to do
what he can to relieve his animals.
The department of agriculture has rec
commended the following formula as
the best known:
Take resin; 11s pounds; laundry
soap, two cakes; fish-oil, one half pint;
enough water to make three gallons.
Dissolve the resin in solution OF
soap and water by heating; add the
-fish-oil and the rest of the water. APP
ply with brush. If to be used as a
spray, add one-half pint Of kerosene.
This mixture will cost from seven to
eight cents per gallon, and may be
used on either calves or cows. One
half pint of this mixture is consid.
cred enough for one application fer d
COW: a calf, of course, would require
considerably less. 1t will be more eco
nomical to apply this only to the parts
of the animal not reached by the tail.
At first it will perhaps be necessary
to give two or three applications per
week, until the outer ends of the hair
become coated with resin; after that,
retouch those parts where the resin
is rubbed off.-Southern Agriculturist.

Time will be kind to her. If she give

has every chance for growth and de-
