sweepina Hints.

To prevent making great dust In
sweeping. use moist sawdust on bare
floors. When the room is carpeted.
mosten a newspaper, tear 1t into
small scraps, and scatter these over
the carpet when you begin sweeping.
AS you sweep. brush the paper along
by the broom. and this will catch most
OF the dust and hold IL fast, just as the
sawdust does on bare floors. DO not
have either the paper or the sawdust
dripping wet, only moist.

When ironing Embroidery,

Fold a blanket three or -four times
and cover with clean cloth: lay the
embroidery face downwards on this.
Place a thin. damped cloth on the
back of the embroidery to be pressed,
and then quickly use very hot iron
on the wet surface till II is quite dry.
By this method steaming process is
carried out whicu smooths the linen

Strive for Quality.

Eggs and dressed poultry OF all kinds
when of the best quality, brings high
er prices in the commercial centres or
this country than any other place in
the world. There is no use whatever
to look for a market abroad fer
Tor these products, when the real rem
edy is the production of eggs and
dressed poultry of a much better quail
ity. People read of prices ranging
from twenty-eisht to thirty cents per
dozen, and wonder Why their eggs
bring so little when sold. The reason
rests entirely with the quality of the
product. We have seen in the butter
and egg markets of large cities, side
by side, large fat baskets filed with
eggs ranging from. sixty cents to nine
teen cents a dozen. Any one able to
pay the price would always select the
finer quality, the very appearance OF
which, in contrast with the .ower
grades being the chief inducement.
This is the real test of quality. In
many localities the 60-cent eggs sell
mach more readily than do the lower
priced ones.-The Feather.

looked at the manuscript and gave 1t

of the writing appeared himself in
the Office with a sheet OF paper in
his hand. 81 am sorry, SIR said the
first compositor, that none Of US can
decipher the writing on this sheet OF
paper. If may venture to say SO,
it is slightly more illegible than your
copy usually is" Il don't wonder at
that" replied the cause of all the
trouble. "The fact is, I sent you that
sheet by mistake. My favorite cat
was sitting on my desk, and by accl'
dent she slipped her tail in the ink

Grinding Hog Feed

At this season we are frequently
asked if it will pay to grind hog feed.
If corn is to be fed it will not pay.
Even old corn is better when soaked
in water than when fed ground. Oats
and barley, however, should be ground
as fine as possible and it is preferable
to feed them both in the form OF
thick slop. In soaking corn care
should be taken not to allow 1t to
stand long enough to sour. Each feed
ing allowance must be soaked sepa-
rately so as to avoid having some ears
left over from previous soakings that
would be sure to cause fermentation.
Many farmers who have Old corn lett
over can render it sweet and whole
some by frequent soakiDgs. The time
that the corn should be left in soak
will depend upon its hardness anu
must be regulated accordingly.

A Veuetable Lizard,

An attache OF the Smithsonian IN
stitution tells of a curious inhabltant
of the tropical forests called the llz'
ard tree, but which, as he remarks
might well be termed the centipede
plant.
This singular growth consists OF a
stem jointed like a bamboo, with
green leaves growing directly from
the bark, and slender white roets
springing from the joints, with which
it maintains its hold upon the bark
OF the tree whereon it grows. When
It has attained - length of three OF
four feet the lower sections of the
libard plant drop off, and, Fastening
upon any convenient object, begln
their independent growth.
When thus growing upon the
ground, if the plant encounters a tree
it Immediately begins to ascend the
trunk.

The Draft Horse viii Stay.

An English writer in referring to
growing demand there and here for
good draft horses, says: Some fifty
years ago when railroads were spring
ing up in all directions, farmers be-
came in many instances so discouras-
ed, thinking that horses would be no
longer needed, that breeding was quite
neglected for time until gradually
it was discovered, in spite Of steam,
the horse was still needed, and breed
ing was taken up again with redoubied
energy. For the past two or three
years the motor has been the bette
noir of horse breeders, but so far
there does not seem the slightest pos
sible reason for this fear.
: Farmers will always find the horse
the most suitable means, the cheapest,
for performing their work, simply be-
cause half a dozen horses can be in
half dozen places at the same time,
whilst six-horsepower motor cannot
be divided, neither can extra speed
atone for this. Many operations on
the farm can only be carried out at a
limited speed such as stacking and
loading at harvest time-the same
with manure carting the numberless
odd duties, and precisely the same ap-
plies to much of the work in the
towns and at railway stations. Let
I breeders pay attention to the mating
OF their mares, discard the bad, and
Indifferent, too, where possible, and
especially the unsound, either sire or
dam, and use only as much as posi-

lar good accounts for generations.'

Farm Notes.

Insects bites should be cared for,
or else sores are apt to come.
Keep the floor of your cow barns
clean, sweep them every day.
Dampness is injurious to good
milking animal; many colds, ETC., are
the result.
Milk is better if COWS are allowed
to be milked in a shed away from
their stalls.
In fly time care should be exercised
not to allow the animals to get too
nervous over this troublesome insect.
Grooming is recognized by many to
be very beneficial to well-kept cows.
Nothing is more helpful to their con-
diticn.
The habits and disposition Of ami
mails depend almost entirely upon the
care and treatment they receive, and
more especially is this true OF the
hog.
A most excellent slop can be made
CT the parts of what bran and one
mart linseed meal, mixed dry, and
then made into slop with sweet skim
milk.
There is no real necessity in a

Squash Bugs.

The only effectual way to get rid OF
squash bugs is to smash, them; and the
only way to prevent their work of dss-
truction before they can be caught
and smashed, is to keep them away
from squash plants. That this enemy
can be kept in check is admitted, but
the work is such as to demand close
watchfulness patience and determina-
ton at any cost.
The young squash plants are attack
ed when they are just appearing above
the ground, to prevent which the hills
should be covered with wire netting,
the edges to be buried under the soil,
as the bugs will endeavor to get under
them. The netting will also keep out
the flea beetles and yellow and black
striped bugs. AS soon as the plants
have five leaves the cover should be
removed and the bugs fought by other
methods. Some gardeners plant more
seed than can properly develop, in
order to provide against the destruc-
ton Of the whole bill.
The bugs are not partial to clean
cultivation. The burning of useless
rubbish in the fields reduces the win
ter shelter and all vines should be co.,
lected and burned after harvesting
the crop. The bugs may be collected
by hand from the vines, or from the
squash plants between the rows used
as traps. The bugs also seek shelter
under leaves, in the earth, under the
clods Or trash or wherever they can
find a covering. All eggs. should be
destroyed and the vines examined
twice a day. The bugs will always
leave melon or cucumber vines for
squash, hence a few squash among
melons and cucumbers will trap them.
Kerosene emulsion may be used.
An 8 percent kerosene emulsion may
injure the plants, about Z percent be-
ing strong enough & parts kerosene
to- 100 parts of water.) 1t is also i'm
portant to kill as many bugs as pos
sib]e in autumn, after the crop is
harvested and be sure to burn every
vine. When spraying the vines care
should be used, as the kerosene and
water must be intimately mixed. The
first flow should be on the ground for
minute, as it may contain too much
kerosene. Spray the vines lightly,
not too much, the spray to be very
fine. The mixture will drive the bugs
from their cover when they can be
destroyed, but as stated in the be-
ginning, everything depends upon de-
stroying them by hand.-The Epitom'
ist.

Need Model Dairy Farms.

Hoards Dairyman urges the value of
model dairy farms in the following
strong argument. 1t says:
"a model dairy farm attached to
creamery could not fail of clearing an
immense amount Of fog out Of the
minds of patrons in its vicinity who
are producing milk, practically, with
their eyes shut 1t is the sheerest
nonsense to talk about the dairy in
telligence Of the average patron Of
creameries or cheese factories.
When the gross returns per COW
are only $50 to s35 for the entire sea-
son, in host Of creameries, while in
more enlightened communities the av-
erage will be as high as $50 to $50,
what does that difference show? When
in the same creamery, as we know in
a multitude Of instances, we find men
making profit over the cost of feed
Of only IS to SO per COW, while 9TH
ers are clearing $40 to $50, what does
that difference show?
It shows in plain words the differ
ence between dairy ignorance and
dairy knowledge. The great mass Of
patrons do not seem capable of learn
ing the right lessons from reasoning,
for they will not read. They do not
read the bulletins Of the Experiment
Stations, and we know that they do
not read dairy papers or dairy litera'
ture Of any kind. They do not travel
and visit other men who use brains
In the conduct of a dairy farm. How
shall they get useful and progressive
ideas into their heads? Such men
learn only what they see. The exam
pie of one man in a neighborhood
who demonstrates better methods is
the only way such men can be reach
