VALUE OP SALT AS A FERTILIZER. , All plant contain mora or less salt, nu tuu more of it a the soil is auffl cidntly inovhM with it. Salt is neces sary for the digestion of food, hence salt is so indispensable clement of plant food. Grass and pasture are cstieciallv tonefitcd by it. Five hundred pounds i tump ran, som lor the purpose nt about $0 per ton, may be applied now us soon as the gra.s Marts (.-remth. Clover is enutilly benefited by it. Man gels and other root crops should receive from four hundred to six hundred pounds per acre; cabbages, and especially asparagus, need salt. Oats and wheat nre benefited by it, the effect of it being to stiffen the straw ami cularge the grain, pivinp it a clear, bright skin. The salt has also a benccHial effect oa the soil by its chemical action. j TUB CAIIE OF IAMBS. ( At lambing timo the pen should be made extra wsnn and comfortable, ns lambs dropped during severe cold weath er (especially if Merinos or fine wools) soon becomo chilled unless the room is warm, or prompt attention is paid to them by the attendaut. Should the ewo fail to own her lamb, it is beat tn t;,. i,- up in a separate stall; or, better still, jiartitiou oil one ooruer of the pen so that sho may not be shut away from the flock. If the lamb becomes chilled it may be fed a few tablespooufuls of warm milk, mixed vith one-tenth part of braudy of whisky; Vr, in the absence of these, a few drops of Jamaica giuger or paiu-killcr may be ndministerc.i with the milk. This treatment, with wrapping in woolen Mankct and placing near the stove, should soon restore the lamb to vigor. If it is placed in the pen with others, it is a good plan to place upon the nose of the mother a few drops of the same ma terial that was mixed with the lamb's drink. This hint will ofteu cause the ewe to own her lamb, or cveu a strange lamb, when otherwise trouble would be experienced. : The first six hours of a lambs lifo ts the most critical time; heuce many farm ers will go to the barn at midnight to look after their flock, and it ofteu pars to do so, as a well-kept lamb is worth "in October not less than $2.50, and often H is obtaised for them. When a week old lambs will begin to cat the leaves and clover heads, and also the lino leaves of timothy', cornstalks, etc. But clover is their favorite, and should bo given them if possible. It not only adds growth, but makes them strong and hearty. . No doubt some of the ewes will be come thin iu flesh. These, with their lambs, should have a separate enclosure, and be fed an extra ratiou of grain, plac ing the feid trough low enough so that that the himbs may also cat a portion of it. Remember that to be successful in lamb raking one needs healthy sheep, good food, warm quarters nud prompt attention Y York Examiner. CAr.B OP MILK. ' A cheese manufacturer in this State, says George E. Newell in the American Agriculturist, has had the following pointed advice printed at the head of the dividend sheets ho issues to his patroLs : "Take good care of your night's milk, it will pay you." 'Where tailk is delivered at the factory only once in twenty.four hours, more than ordinary attention at the dairyman's hands is necessary to pre serve its quality. Especially is this true in hot weather, and on nights when the air is disturbed by electrical storms. It is of vital interest to the manufacturer to always receive good milk, for the repu tation of his stock must bo maintained, and profitable money returns yielded to his patrons. Of deeper significance also is the public health, which may be jeo pardize! as greatly through carelessness and ignorance iu the dairy as by loose sanitary conditions in the face of a pesti lence. The thought of eating "hurt meat" fills every one with abhorrence, yet the consumption of tainted milk is as dangerous to human health. Milk may develop a fatal poison, and yet reveal little of it to the sense of smell. There are two general species of taint that affect milk. When warm from the udder and lying in a deep vessel it generates one character of decomposition, and rank odors emanating from decaying animal or vegetable matter cause the other. To avoid both, milk must be set iu a draught of pure air, and be aerated thoroughly by stirriug, or by driviug air through the mass. The fluid should not bo vio lently handled whilo it is cooling and airing, or a partial sepaiatiou of the but ter globules ensues. In whatever char acter of vessel milk is stored over night, the material of course being tiu, free circulation of air should bo secured uu der the bottom as well as arouud the sides. Caus of large diameter should lie employed, and only a moderate quantity of milk bo stored in a can. I'or a dairy man who regularly pairnniztig a cl:ee-c factory and makes a day delivery of itilk once a day, a properly constructed cooling staud should bo a part of his equipment. It should staud on an ele vated location convenient to the milk ing barn, and one open to a free circula tion of air from all quarters. Posts arc Bet on ten feet high with a shingled roof, and a floor as high above the ground ns a wagou box. This will make a struc ture that the wind can not blow down, and it will bo ram-proof unless from a driving storm. A low roof, or bouided up sides should be avoided iu the object is to offer no obstruction to the freest aerial circulation. The cans of milk should rest on cleats raised at least six inches above the floor, and they uev should iu any case be cave-red over ni" r :ht unless by a icree-u. A flight of Btron steps should lead un to tin. i.i .t r...-,.. t. the use of milkers, and the opposite tii face a dr.veway lor facility iu loudiu on a wagon.

For polishiug furniture beeswax nnd turpentine are very good, but plenty of elbow gi-case is essential. AVhito paint that ha3 becomo discol ored may bo nicely cleaned by using a lit'lo whiting in the water for washing. Save all your old white muslin. It makes good dasters and will also be use ful for cleaning windows, as it is free from lint. A good way to remove ink stains from carpets is to sprinkle salt over the soiled spots and pour ou boiling water; doit, several times, if uecessnry. For cleaning glasses belonging to ma- j liogany furniture, use either powdered , wnuiug or scrapeu rotienstouo mixed with sweet oil, aud rub on with a chamois skin. Eggs shells crushed into small bits and shakeu well in decauters, threo parts filled with cold water, will not only clean them thoroughly, but uiuke tho glass look like new. Tho walls of each room should bo brushed, n duster should be tied over a broom aud then passed up aud down. Tho duster must, of course, bj shuken lrom time to time. For cleaning windows and mirrors ono of the best things is plain soft water and chamois leather, having a dry chamois leather as well to polish with afterward. This process will not answer near the sea, because of the salt iu the atmosphere. The scrubbing of floors should be done with bath br'dust or sand anil ordi nary household soap. Tho object of tho brick dust or sand is to whiten boards. After washing leave all the doors nnd windows open for it to dry very quickly, which also helps to whiten tho boards. When tablecloths aro worn beyond mending cut square pieces from the best parts of them und hem them neatly. They mako nice napkins for tho littlo children to use at tho table, aud also do i nicely for them to carry their lunches to school in, for if they are stained or lost it will not matter much, us your sets will not be broken.

We've heard of a woman who said she'd walk five miles to get a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription if she couldn't get it without. That woman had tried it. And it's a medicine wliich makes itself felt in toning up the system and correcting irregularities as soon as its use is begun. Go to your drug store, pay a dollar, get a bottle and try it try a second, a third if necessary. Before the third one's been taken you'll know that there's a remedy to help you. Then you'll keep on and a cure '11 come. But if you shouldn't feel the help, should be disappointed in the results yoVll find a guarantee printed on the bottle-wrapper that'll get your money back for you. How many women are there who'd rather have the money than health ? And " Favorite Prescription" produces health. Wonder is that there's a woman willing to suffer when there's a guaranteed remedy in the nearest drug store- Dr. Pierce's Pellets regulate the Stomach, Liver and Bow els. Mild and effective.
