WATER FOR THE COWS.

Our water supply for the farm ami
mails is pumped from a well in the
shed attached to the barn, and troughs
have been arranged so that this wat
er can be sent into tubs which stand
in the COW shed. The custom is to
fill each tub about half full and then
add enough hot water so that the
entire quantity is comfortably cool.
Cows do not care for warm water.
but they do like the chill removed
from the very cold water during the
winter. Here is where our independ-
ent furnace or range comes into play.
It is located near the barn, under a
rcu-h roof to keep the storm off, and
the water is heated here without in
terfering with affairs in the house
kitchen. Enough water can be heat
ed in an hour to properly temper the
water for horses and cows and leave
some pretty hot for the fowls, who
delight il water as hot as they can
drink, during the winter. Actual fig
ures have shown us conclusively that
in extra milk we receive enough to
more than pay for the labor and time
involved in warming the water given
to the farm animals. Moreover, we
find that with plenty of warm or hot
water handy we are inclined to do
much more in the way of cleaning
various things than we could do if
all the water available was cold

Charcoal for Gunpowder.

coal, the weed Is cut into lengths OF
three feet and placed in tight iron
retOrtS, under and around which
fire roars continually. The hampers
and pipes are so arranged that the
wOrkmen have complete control of the
heat. At the end of the retort a hole
Is left for the escape of inhammable
gases resulting from the charring pro-
cess. A pipe catches them as they
leave the retort and conveys them
into the furnace, where they take the
place of a good deal of fuel. When

Perfume in Medicine

Odors, whether agreeable or dis
agreeable, are not causes of disease
in the sense generally taken. They
may disorder certain healthy func-
lions by impairing nervous energy,
by diminishing wholesome respiration,
and thus creating a predisposition to
attack by disease.
Severe faintness is sometimes OBJ
served to overcome persons uron their
entrance into a room In which tuber-
roses are kept. Headache is often nro-
duced by the odors emanating from
the honevsuckle. lilly. rose of Sharon
or carnation. The odor OF betony in
flower is said tc have caused intoxica-
ton to those who gather it. The
Attempts have been made to utilize
odors in theraneutics. The odors of
vanilla and heliotrope are cre1ited
with possessing a soothing influence
over persons subjected to attacks of
nervousness. The use Of toilet water
in the form of a spray will often To-
tore those exhausted with the cares
of business, social or domestic duties.
In the East the use of perfume is con-
sidered purifier, though we look NJ
on it merely as a luxury 1t is as
serted that those who are employed
in laboratories where perfumes are
made or among growing flowers are
healthy to an extent exceeding those
not so employed.-Medical Record.

INJURY DONE BY WEEDs.

INJURY DONE BY WEEDS.
The manner in which weeds bring
about injury to farm crops is discuss
ed in an Ontario bulletin. Farmers
will find sufficient reasons for fighting
the weed pest in the following: The
amount of water which is taken up
by weeds and evaporated from the
surface of the leaves is very great.
For instance, an average mustard
plant pumps from the soil about four
teen ounces, or seven-tenths of pint,
per day; sunfiower, thirty-three
ounces, and so on. The transpira-
tion is generally in proportion to the
surface of the leaf, but thin leaves
transpire, or throw off water, more
freely than feshy ones. Consequent
ly, weeds having large leaf surface
draw rom the soil and give on
through the leaves a large amount
Of water and thereby rob the sur
rounding plants. Many botanists
consider this waste Of moisture the
mots serious injury done by weeds.
Weeds naturally make use of the
same food as the cultivated plants
among which they grow. Consequent
ly they deprive a crop of large
amount of the available nourishment.
and they rob the succeeding crop as
well. For example, an analysis of the
Russian thistle by Snyder showed
that it contains from twelve to sew
entee1 per cent. as much nitrogen
as there is in clover, and an ordir-
airy thistle of this kind covering a
square yard takes more potash and
lime from the soil than two good
crops of wheat from the same area.
Weeds often grow more vigorously
than usual plants, and, as conse-
quence. they shade or crowd, or par
TALLY choke, the seedlings of the de-
sired crop. Black bindweed, for in
stance, often covers completely a
large part of plants among which it
grows. At best, it is difficult to clean
many of the smaller seeds, such as
clover, grass and rape seed, aid the
difficulty is greatly increased when
tuSy are grown Oh ulTly ldiu IL
is almost impossible to clean clover
seed by winnowing. Hence the ne
cesssity that the land on which 1t
grows be clean. Weeds interfere with
a regular rotation of crops. A we'll
balanced rotation of crops conseryes
the fertility of the soil, but it is often
necessary to depart from such ro-
tation when noxious weeds get poses
sion of the farm-to give undue at
tent:on to the growth of hoed crops,
for instance, or almost omit certain
crop altogether for a time, as in the
case of the oat crop on a farm over
run with wild oats. Weeds harbor
scores Of injurious fungi. Many Of
the rusts which attack grain crops
find a resting place on weeds of the
grass and other families which pre-
serve them through the fall, winter
and spring.-Weekly Witness.

HOGS IN WINTER.

Those who keep hogs should make
it point to see that they are made
comfortable during the cold winter
months. When they are in comfort
able quarters they can be kept much
cheaper. Many a disease which the
hog is subject to is caused by lying
in a cold bed at night. Not only is
this cold a detriment to them but
there is no doubt but what they suf-
fer as much, If not more, from the
wet. A cold snow Or rain chills the
body right through, and all this is
very expensive TO the owner. The
man who keeps his hogs in comfort
able quarters will find in the Spring
that h hogs have cost him a great
deal less money to carry through the
winter and are also in much better
condition than the hogs of his neigh
