WITH A WORD ON MILKING. — The care
4nd treatment of the cow's udder, so inti
mately connected with all that ptrlmns
to the finer grades of table butter, is attract
ing that attention among dairymen which
its importance demands. This glandular
organ is too little understood, and its lia
bility to numerous and complicated disca
tea is frequently the cause of improper
Irealmcnt in tbe way of milking and im
proper food. The cow, if docile and gen
tle, does not manifest any uneasiness while
being milked; on the contrary she likes to
have the pressure caused by a full udder
removed if properly performed. Whenever
the cow shows signs of undue uneasim ss
something is evidently wrong and the
cause should be ascertained. In Europe
where the "milkmaid" has complete charge
of the cows they are said to be more lree
from disease than in this country, where
the "hired" man is allowed to do the milk
ing. How then should the cow be milked
may be a pertinent query to suggest, aud
if possible answer. Tbe teats are grasped
by both hands, the fingers being pressed
together toward the palms of the hands
and both brought clown so far as the udder
will admit- The milker should avoid all
unnecessary pulling or twitching of the
teats which ultimately affects aud disar
ranges the internal organs of the udder.
Some cows üblk very easily wnile others,
on account of the small aperture through
which the milk comes from the teats, milk
hard. A free milker will "give down"
her milk m from three to five minutes,
while bard milkers require from eight to
ten minutes in which to do the milkiug
Garget is one of the most common diseases
of the udder and is a serious one, not only
affecting the health of the cow but greatly
injuring the quality of the cream. When
ever this disease manifests itself a tea
spoonful of powdered saltpetre should be
given the cow, mixing with meal or bran
and repeating several times at intervals of
two or three days until the disease is cured.
It is a singular tact that this disease seldom
attacks poor cows —that is, cows that are
not "rich" milkers. Frequently the cow
is so badly affected that one of the teats
ceases to give milk aud she is kuown as a
"three-titted" cow. In ail cases where
fine butter is made the udder of the cow is
carefully washed and wiped before milk
ing. This operation is necessary in order
to secure pure milk free from all impurities
of the stable. The water used should be
tepid or blood warm, and in no case should
be hot or cold, since the one will chili, the
other cause the teats to crack. Too much
watei should not bt used, simply dip the
cloth into the water, nog ii and wash the
udder aud on both sides of it, alter wbieh
rub dry with a solt woolen cloth. The
operation may be done in a short time aud
will well repay one for the trouble. The
milk should be strained at once as soon as
tbe milking is performed and in no case
should wcodeu pails be used. Regularity
as to time of milking is necessary as much
as feeuing and ihe difficulty of cows not
"holding out" will be avoided.
IN Europe the carrot is grown to a great
extent for feeding to cattle in the winter
months. Roots of some kind are fed the
winter through to the cows. An lowa
raiser of Jersey cows says he is accustomed
to feed carrots, of which he usually raises
600 bushels per acre. Carrots increase the
flow of milk and improve the appearance
and quality of butter. Beets are prefer
able to carrots for increasing the flow of
milk; the milk, however, which is produc
ed from beets, is not as good for butter.
The breeder mentioned above has found it
difficult to raise bis calves ou clear Jersey
milk, and advises the feediug of that which
has been skimmed.
THE Cultivator and Country Gentle
wan say t: "It is mportant to sow barley
as early in spring as the ground can be re
duced to a good mellow condiiion. On
such soils as will admit fall plowing without
their becoming complicated again ty the
agency of rams and melting snows, some
advantage is derived txom tLe operation,
but it will be found best more commouly
to depend on thorough underdraining on
soils that have not natural diainage, and
early spring plowing, The time at which
the seed may be sow n will, ot course, vary
with soils and latitudes.'*
OUR readers must remember tbat only
recently has it been eleauly demonstrated
that a dead brancn on a tree makes almost
as great a strain on the mam plant for
moisture as does a living one. It is one of
the moat important discoveries of modern
lotanical science to the practical horticul
turist, as by this knowledge he can save
many a valuable tree. When one has been
transplanted some roots get injured, and
the supply of moisture in the best cases is
more or less deficient. Any dead branch
or any weak one iliould therefore be at
once cut away.
A STRIP of land bordering on the Medi
terranean, about 100 miles long and 5 or 6
wide is the raisin-prexluclDg teintory of
Spain. The Muscatel grapes arc carefully
cut in August, laid on a sou of bed made
of fine pebbles, and dried, being turned
often until they arc st fficiently cured.
Then they are taKen to the wine press-.s,
where, after being laid in trays, they are
subjected to a heavy pressure, when they
are leady for market.
THE general food of the Norwegians if
rye Dread, milk and cheese. As a parti
cular luxury peasants eat "sharke, '* which
are thin slices of salt hung meat, dried in
the wind, but tnis indulgence in animal
food is very rare indeed. A common treat
on high dayß and holy consists of a
thick hasty pudding or porridge of oatmeal
• or rye .meal, seasoned by two or three
picked herrings or salted mackerel.
PLASTER should always be kept on band
in the bain. It will promote the growth
of nearly all plants, allotds partial protec
tion sgainst drought, and will furnish so
luble lime to plants that n< ed it. Of all
the fertilizers known plaster is the cheap
est, and, for its cost, is the most remuner
ative, Two bushels only are needed for a
good application. It is a special fertilizer
for clover, beans, peas and potatoes.
TEE exportation of potatoes, cabbages
and othtr vegetables from Germany to this
country has constantly increased since it
began last fall. One steamer in October
took out 8190 heads of cabbage; four oth
have since left with 6000 bushels of pota
toes, 11 000 heads of cabbage and 80 bags
of turnips.
THE value of all manufactured fertilizer
depends upon their solubility, and these
manures should all be appropriated by tbe
growing crops. To expect any such fer
tilizing matter to remain in the ground for
another year is to presume that the fertiliz
ers are not properly manufactured. Bone
dust, however, will remain in the soil sev
eral years.
AN agreeable flavor in cattle food stimu
lates appetite and probably promotes di
gestion.
USE chemical manure in preference to
any other for potatoes. Ordinary manure
may contain the mildew seeds.
THE roots of appie trees have been found

IT is said that if linseed oil is applied to
sore teats for a few times, both betore aud
after milkings it will effeotually cuie any
case of the kind. Many cows are kickers
until their teals are so treated, when they
become as quiet as lambs, and seem de
lighted in being milked. Teats uiay ap
pear smooth, but still are tender, aud only
need a little oil to make the cow perfectly
willing to be milked.

The Accomodation Car Company of
Chicago has begun operations with a cap
ital stock of $1,000,000. The object of
the company is to build and equip a thou
sand cars and put them upon tbe s'reets ot
Chicago. The car is the patent of Mr.
Presser, and as regards present appearance
is a queer oglesome looking craft, which
carries its track along with it, and to all
intents and purposes is designed to traverse
any and all lines of streets. The car,
which is of the ordinary kind, is mounted,
in the middle, upon a truck which sits on
four wheels, each aDout one foot in diame
ter. These wheels run around the inside
of two steel tires, each ten feet in diame
ter, and which rest upon the ground, and
are held onto to tbe car by a set of wheel
clamps. The car is designed to carry fifty
people, and the owners claim that the more
it carries the easier it runs. It will be
stopped in the usual manner, and two
horses will be required to pull it. The
owners say thev intend putting the cars
upon the principal streets of the city, and
placing the cash tare at 4c, and selling 80
rides for sl.
The leaf fibre called pita or bromelia,
which grows wild in large quantities in
Honduras, is said to be the strongest fibre
known, and "yet is capable of such finish
that it is used half and half with silk, and
also with wood and silk, making a very
durable fabric," Although the value of
this fibre has been known for not less than
twenty years, it is only recently that suit
able machinery for preparing it for manu
facturing purposes has been devised. When
finished and ready for sale the fibre Is
worth SIOOO per ton. It might be well for
paper-makers to examine this fibre, and
determine by experiment whether they oan
make it useful.

busily engaged at his lessons. His father,
one of the leading citizens of Austin, had
gone to the lodge, and his mother was
busy sewing. The little boy looked up
and aaked, "Mannua, what does the word
'pretext' mean?" "When your father
says he has to go to the lodge two or three
times a week that is a pretext to gat away
from his family." The boy did not ssy
anything, but the next day, when he read
out tea whole school his definition of pre
text, he created a sensation.

usiug your Bitters here, and with
marked effect. In one case, a lady of
seventy years, had been sick for years and
for the past two years had not been ab.e to
be around half the time. About six
months ago she got so feeble she
was helpless. Her old remedies, or
physicians, being of no avail, I sent
to Deposit, forty-five miles, and got a
bottle of Hop Bitters. It improved
her so she was sole to dress herself and
walk about the house. When she had
taken the second b >ttle she was able to
take care of her own room and walk out
to her neighbor's, and has improved all
the time since. My wife and children
havw derived great beuefit from their use,
