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.

th. i! 1 be kept in one can, and the

tory fr that purpose. After u thorough

As this is a favorite American dish, tha
recipe is for a largo quantity. The flour
in this case is added for advantage in frying
tho puddiugwheu.it is cold; tho pudding
whcu hot is eaten with milk, sirup, but

a clean saucepan, with a level teaspoonful
of salt; set it over the fire, aud when it
boils stir iu a pound of Indian meal and
a quarter of a pound of flour mixed to a
smooth paste with a pint of cold water;
add tho flour nnd meal graelually, stirring
constantly with a pudeiiug-stick to pre
vent the formation of lumps. When tho
pudding is quite smooth let it boil
steadily for aa hour, stirriug it often
enough to prevent buruiug; constant
boiliug improves tho flavor of tho pud
ding. When there are no measures con

boiling water to hold tho pudding-stick
upright. That portion of tho pudding
iutcuded for frying should bo poured into

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

The Tonrlst Faars Not Utillets.
An amusing ami absolutely truo story
Is running the rounds of tho press in
South America, and it Is one which is
peculiarly rharncteristid of Hritish cool
ness. While the Ooverumeilt and liisuf
gc.ut forces were face to fuco iu the re
cent Argentine abortive revolution, pour
ing deadly volleys of bullets into each
other's ranks, an Knlish tourist and his
wife, arrayed In all tho traditional equip
ments of puggarees, etc., quietly pushed
their Way through General Hoca s troops,
nud, taking their stand in the very front,
coolly levelled their field glasses to sur
vey tho fight with the same sang ffold
with which they would havo witnessed a
sham combat at home. General Hoca
who since has becomo Minister of tho
Interior wbs so struck by their courage
and inveterate love of sight -seeing nt
whatever risk, that, turning around to
an aidc-de-ramp, he remarked, ,rNo
wonder the English are the ruling race."
This incident occurreel in the Calle IiC
valle, at Buenos Ayres. -Yne York Jour

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-
