Melt resin and warm a little crude petroleum in separate vessels, pouring into a third ves- sel three parts resin to one of petroleum. This seals the wounds very effectively until grown over. It does not run in warm weather nor crack in cold, and cuts covered with this preparation will never fail to heal satisfactorily. —Itis not so very uncommon for sale cows or inferior milkers to be left un- milked for a long period, in order to make up a tempting bag to catch the eye of the probable purchaser at market.

It is useless to attempt to get rid -of it after the land has been planted to a crop. Now is a good time to consider fighting it. Piow the land late in she fall, just before winter begins. Plow just deep enough to get un- der the roots, leaving as much of them as possible exposed to the frost of winter. These exposed roots willsbe destroged. In the spring harrow or rake over the roots repeatedly, doing the work overand over again until almost every root is removed, and then plant the soil to potatoes or corn and give thorough cultivation. —A dairyman writes : ‘‘A few weeks ago you gave the history of butter. I find that it is even older than you stated, for 3,620 years ago Abraham entertained three heav- enly visitors under the shade of a Palestine tree serving them without batter, fresh biscuit, milk and fresh heel.” This is the time of the year that cows be- come psor because they do not get the same food as they receive in the early sum- mer when they increase in flesh. Study conditions and give them as nearly a per- fect substitute for green grass as you are able togive. Succulent feeds and those containing plenty of protein are the feeds. Clover or alfalfa hay, oil meal, roots and pumpkins are necessary to feed in connec- tion with corn. If these are given in pro er amounts the cow will not lose in Resh, Bo matter how heavy the flow of milk may The cal? should bave dry quarters.

Then use clean bedding and change frequently to prevent it from becoming wes. e know a dairyman who objects to the oil trust and the unpleasant truss adding 5 per cent water to their stock, bat he adds 10 to 20 per cent water to his milk. There is an old eaying that speaks of consistency being a jewel —it is certainly applicable to case. The farmer with 30 cows that prod dice an average of two gallons of 4 percent to 5 per cent milk per day, hasa source of in- conie that is worth more than $3,000 per year in the cities. True there will be ex- pense and a great deal of work, but the profite will be more and the work no harder than the man who can command $3,000 per year in the city. Keep a daily record, at least a weekly record of what the cow produces, the con- tent of hatter fat and any other information that would be of interest later in the year. Any other method will be guess work, and the fay business is no place for guess work. The farmer with a rough farm, especially it it is nearly worn oat, should turn to \be dairy business. Hills can be made to pro- duce a good profit in milk that would nos raise the common crops except at a loss. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN, DAILY THOUGHT. Hope is a lover's staff; walk hence with that and manage it against despairing thoughts, — Shakespeare. Many inexpensive hostesses who wish to ve a more or less formal luncheon or inner are not quite sure how forks and spoons should go. Custom varies somewhat in this respect, and just at present it is not so much in favor to have an array of silver resembling a jeweler's display at each plate. Only enough for one or two courses are laid. In any case the forks go to the left of the plate. In the order of BHD Shey sre taken from the outside in. spoons spi knives, io their order, are at the right If moss of the forks and spoons are not on the table in the beginning, the order of serving should be as follows: — If a fruit punch or bouillon are used, the glass bolding the punch should stand on a doily on a dessert Plate and the spoon for the course is also laid on the plate. The bouillon cup and saucer should be on another plate and the spoon should be at the right of the plate. The forks and knives for the main courses are at the sides, also the fork for the salad, but it is Letter to have the ice cream fork and spoon passed on the plate after the table is olear, as it makes the table cluttery to have them there during a long, meal, nsio makes clearing the table more difficult. Coffee is served in the drawing-room after dinner in coffee cups and the spoons rest on the saocer. The costom of serving characteristic | disbes on Hallowe'en is as ancient as the celebration itself, and the hostess who properly honors tradition introduces them 1uto her refreshment list on that occasion to the exclusion of many palatable dain- ties, There is, however, no reason why she may not give her entertainment the touch of individuality by serving these time-honored dishes in modern settings. Svapdragon.—Pile upon a large stone chiva, or other fireproof platter, raisins, prunes, candied ginger and orystallized fruits, burnt almonds, figs, dates, etc. Ar- range them in a long roll, as nearly drag: on-shaped as yon can make it, with four sprawling legs and a tail. A row of burnt almonds on the back simulates the mon- ster's spive. Alter supper pour brandy over it and set it on fire. Each of the party tries to snatch something from the flames, using only a thumb and forefinger. When secured, the prize is supposed to indicate something the future bas in store for the essor. For example, ginger denotes a hot-tempered husband or wife; a date ora prune, one with a sweet exterior and a stony heart; figs and raising, riches; a barnt almond, celibacy; cherries, a suuny-tem- pered partuer, eto.
