Waste in Manure.

Piling manure in the open insures
a big waste The Cornell Experiment
Station piled two tons of fresh horse
manure in an exposed place. In five
months it lost per cent in gross
weight, 60 per cent of its nitrogen, AZ
per cent of it's phosphoric acid and
76 per cent of it's potash. Here was
an average loss of 81 per cent in plant
food more than the weight loss. In
other words, the rotted, concentrated
manure, ton for ton, was worth less
than the fresh manure.

A shampoo made of egg, quinine
and green soap is good.
A little ammonia in the water will
make window cleaning easy.
If clothespins are heated in the oven
they will not stick when used.

War on Bad Seed.

Good work in detecting adulterated
seeds is being carried on by the De-
partment of Agriculture. Of 1,471
samples of seeds taken last year 102
samples were found adulterated or

the results of the test, together with
the names of the firms that sold the
seed. 1t is claimed that since this

loss when a recipe calls for cup Of
anything to tell what kind of cup
to use or how much cup measures.

about half a pound. A cup Of sifted
-four is equal to a quarter Of pound.

The Lost Cud.

ri WISH" said an experienced veteri-
nary, that I had all the cloth which
has been wasted in manufacturing
cuds to replace those lost" This is
one of the dregs of superstition which
still clings in some places. The cud
is returned to the mouth after enter
ing the first stomach, and its loss is
generally an indication of Indigestion.
This is most prevalent in winter,
when cows are heavily grained. Should
it appear in summer when they are on
pasture, but receiving some grain, it
is well to remove the latter ration for
few days. After day or two give

The Farm Cream Separator.
Butter making in the home dairy
and creamery has been almost revo-
lutionized by the introduction of the
farm separator, which separates
cream from milk by a centrifugal
process. The shallow pan or crock
system and the deep-setting system
have been largely eliminated, and
with their exit considerable part of
the drudgery Of the household disap-
peared The farmer is now no longer
required to make the daily trip to the
creamery; he can retain the skim milk
to feed his calves and pigs and de-
liver the cream, sweet, every other
day, when properly cared for, and
this substitution of cream delivery for
milk delivery by creamery patrons
saves them labor and millions of dol
lars yearly in expense.-Report Secre-
tary United States Department of

Dynamite for Tree Planting.

Holes for tree planting, according
to the Engineering Record, have been
excavated by the Long Island Rail-
way by blasting with dynamite. A
hole about two feet deep was first dug
with a posthole augur at an angle of
about IS degrees with the surface and
loaded with half stick of 40 per cent
dynamite. This shot makes a hole
about two feet deep and three feet in
diameter, leaving the earth in the
bottom pulverized suitably for plant
ing 1t is stated that two men can
thus excavate $50 holes per ten-hour
day at a cost of about ~ cents per
hole.

ALL-BLACK BALLROOM.
London's Latest Novelty in House Fur
nishing.

mSh1ng.
The latest London craze in furnishing
is the all-black ballroom. The fashion
was set by Mrs. Wordsworth, one of the
richest women in England, who inherited
most of the money left by the late Mr.
Assheton-Smith. The walls of her draw.
ing room are of solid black ebony, with
a deep frieze of gold flowers.
Above the frieze is line of mirrors
and in these are reflected electric lamps
each enclosed in golden lily, which
stands out in high relief from the ebony
panel. The effect is to throw up the
bright colOrs of the women's dresses and
the long line of mirrors prevents any
touch of somberness.
Lady Drogheda, who only recently re-
turned from very up-to-date honey
moon, which was taken in installments
by visits to friends, was so fascinated
by Mrs. Houldsworth's ballroom that she
is following suit with an all-black draw
ing room, relieved with silver and count
less small electric lamps ingeniously hid
den in its mouldings.
