Nautical Drugs.

The tabloid habit is unknown to
shippers Of sailing craft, coastwise or
ocean bound. EPSON salts and castor
oil are still good enough for them,' .
the New York Press says. Nor does
the sailor who has worked his way up
from the mast dose his crew with SUI
car-coated or gelatin-covered pills; the
old standard favorites are still his main
reliance.
CAPTAINS of sailing vessels are re-
ouired to keep notes Of all the medi-
cines they serve out to the crew for
record with the United States shipping
commissioner. The files show that the
most popular doses are EPSON salts
ond castor oil, and next to these, qui-
nine. Jamaica ginger and paregoric.
On sailing vessel the captain Is
tho doctor, and sailors have to take
what he gives them. On one ship
hound for Rio de Janeiro the captain
saw his second mate taking pills from
a bottle.
"Wbat's that, sir?' sternly demand
ed the skipper.
"Pellets for my rheumatism" the
mate replied.
.Throw them overboard!' command
.d the captain. Il don't want such
i,,n1 aboard my ship. Come aft and
I'll, give you a dose Of castor OIL.

The Secretion of Milk.

The question is frequently asked:
"Is the milk secured at one milking
present in the udder In the form Of
milk at the time the milking beginsY'
In answering such an inquiry at a
dairyman's meeting, Mr.. Glendinning,
of Manila, Ontario, says:
THE udder contains a great deal
more blood than 1t does milk. You
take a large udder of cow. OF
course, it looks very much as though
there was a very large quantity of
milk in that udder, but if a COW hap
pened to be shot or killed instantly,
and you took and opened her, you
would find very little milk. Perhaps
some Of you have sat down to milk
a COW. and you would get little milk
at the commencement quite easily, and
then you have said the COW failed to
let down her milk. When you had
MIXED out that milk that came easily,

Muslin in Place of Glass.

Considerable interest Is being taken
in the use of oiled muslin in place of
glass in the poultry house. There is
no doubt but what this can be sub
stituted to advantage where a house
has too much glass, as many of them
have. For example, all Of us are IA
miliar with the poultry house 'front.'
built on slant and consisting en-
tirely of glass and : the necessary
framework to hold it, In such cases
we think every other section of muslin
would be an advantage. The house
would still be light enough and at
night would be much warmer with a
small area of glass.
In the small house, where one wins
dow Of moderate size furnishes the
light, it would not be advisable to SUBJ
stitute muslin for glass. After all, the
best use for the muslin is to place it
on poles and hang over the opening in
the scratching shed. 1t keeps out the
wind and cold and, with the help of
a single window Of glass in the sides
lets in enough light to make the fowls
contented and happy as they scratch
through the chaff. If one is In a
cold climate and the poultry house is
lighted only by small window, it is
an excellent plan to cut in a second
window and cover the frame with a
double thickness of oiled muslin. In
this manner additional light is obtain
ed without exposing the house to more
cold.

The Christ of the Andes.

Inc women of Chill and Argentina

the fact that those two countries are
NOS nov At war with each other. For
seventy years they have been quarrel
ing about their boundaries, but lately

and set UP on the disputed boundary,

Spring SPRAYING,

If San Jose scale has not yet in
vaded your neighborhood, trust in a
kind providence and make a move,
good and hard, to keep it out. If it
is already there, use the same meas
ures, but in more superlative degree,
if such thing there can be. The San
Jose scale, or louise, for it is the lat
ter, under the scale, that does the mis-
chief is a sort Of little Jap in the
world of insect pests. Many bigger
ones there are, but few more success
full.
The scale is most easily recognized
in midsummer, when it imparts sort
of purplish tinge to the bark Of the
tree, but it is then very firmly in
trenched and difficult to fight. Take a
microscope to your apple, pear, peach
and plum trees now, just as soon as
you can, especially if they look bit
rough or scurfy or seemed in any way
unthrifty last season. A tree when
badly infested with the San Jose scale
presents a somewhat grayish appear
ance, as if it were coated with ashes,
but the ordinary observers would
hardly notice this or realize it's sig
nificance. By carefully scraping the
bark with a knife blade little scales
of various sizes may be found, be-
meath which are the soft, jellylike
orange colored insects.
Spraying in late winter or early
spring before the buds open is the ac-
cepted remedy. Various solutions are
used, but the boiled lime, salt and sui
phur mixture is perhaps still the
cheapest and safest for the tree. Ow-
ing to the trouble Of preparing that
wash, however, the Geneva On. W
station devised a self-boiling mixture
that has met with much favor. The
formula is as follows: Lime, 30
pounds; sulphur, Is pounds; caustic
soda, 6 pounds; water, 80 gallons.
The sulphur is made into thin
paste with boiling water and poured
over and we'll distributed through the
lime. Additional water is used as
needed to keep the lime-sulphur mate
rial in a rather stiff paste. As soon as
the lime is slaked the full amount
Of caustic soda is added and stirred
until boiling ceases. Enough water Is
then poured in to make fifty gallons
Of the wash. ]. Barton.

A squad is about as large at birth
as it ever gets. In this regard we have
plenty of SQUAD farmers, for they are
as large at the beginning as they ever
get. Some of them are infinitely
smaller when they have farmed a few
years than when they began.
Name the farm Select some good
name that will last longer than you
will. When speaking of the farm call
it by name. Have the name neatly
printed on all stationery and pay no
attention to the gibes of some men
who may be fifty years behind the
times.
There is no doubt but what the
farmer who raises clover is the first
to gain the king row." This is very
significant. This is the day when
there should be no doubling Thorn
asses" 1t should be evidence enough
when one man in a neighborhood can
succeed by the aid of clover.
Argentina is credited with having
the greatest number of sheep in any
country in the world and of deriving
the least benefit from them. This is
due to negligence in their care and the
prevalence of scab. Argentina pos
sesses 100000 more sheep than
Australia, but the last named country
exports 1877 per cent more wool in
spite of drought.
Some farmers put their machinery
away in an old leaky shed and pro-
Eounce it cared for. The roof leaks
and the sides being open invite SHOWS
and rains and fowls roost on them and
sometimes such men question the pro-
priety of Sheltereding farm tools. It
always makes an implement dealer
smile when he sees machinery poorly
cared for
A regular article of export to Cen
trail Asia is the Ohio grapevine cut
ting. The vineyards of Central Asia
are all offshoots from American vines,
and the fruit is priced above all 9TH
ers in Russia proper for it's delicacy
and flavor. Twenty to thirty tons of
American grapes to the acre is COM
mon yield in Central ASIA and as the
American vine is free from parasites,
it is being introduced everywhere the
world over.
In speaking Of methods Of conduct
Ing farm operations many fail to note
the character and condition of the soil
and climate. One may succeed in tne
pursuance of a certain method and
another fail, all on account of differ
ence in soil conditions. In some soils
it will be well to pillow the ground be-
fore sowing small grain in the spring
Of the year; on others it may be done
by discing or cultivating. Some soils
are benefited by fall blowing and 9th
er soils will not permit Of any but
spring blowing. The man who plows
under undecayed straw, strawy ma
nure and heavy coatings of cornstalks
should understand that his soil condi-
ton is being benefited by it. If it is,
that is the method to pursue and no
mistake.
