Ware, of Joplin, wants to know why his cow gives blooiiy milk, which comes sometimes from ono teat aud iometimes from all of them, though tho one teat is always worso than the others. It is the last of tho milking that is bloody, the first being only slightly col ored. From this description, replies C. W. Murtfeldt, tho cow's udder has prob ably received some local hurt. The driver or someone may have cast a stone or a stick without intent to hurt tho cow, but unfortuuatoly ho or sho did nlllict the animal and make a bruise. If sho still gives bloody milk, make a care ful examination for tho seat of the trouble, and if fouud heal it up. If a wound, wash it clean aud use hog's lard. That another teat may also be affected may como from the proximity of the trouble or from sympathy, much as if a man has a sore eye the other eye may also become sore. If tho cow continues to give bloody milk.and from more than one teat, sho had better be dried up, fattened and sold for beef. Of course, all such milk is unlit for use ani may cause blood poisoning in those who par take thereof. It is best to be ou the safe side. Sickness and doctors' bills may come to many times the value of the milk or cow. St. Louit Republic. RESTORING SOIL FERTILITY. l There are two methods of restoring the lost fertility of the soil. Ono is by . the application of needed constituents derived from soils aud sources other than the land on which they aro to be used. This involves a direct outlay of money, and at once the question arises, Will it pay f In it are included the min eral elements of plant food, such as the potash ani nitrates from foreign mines, guano tho excrement of sea fowl, orig inally derived trom tho sea and phos phate rock, all more or less entering in to the conrtitucnts of the commercial fertilizers now so common. Tho other may be said to be furnished, directly or indirectly, by the soil itself. Tho most direct way -in which the soil can bo made to fertilize itself while under cultivation is by the growing of plants whoso de composition will return to it a greater measure of fertility than was abstracted lor their production. f While something had been learned in this direction through furtn experience, it was not until science came to the aid of agriculture that the plants best fitted for soil renovation and the reason for preferring them as such became known. Science and experience having jointly determined that clover, peas and other plauts of their class are the ones spec ially adapted to furnishing this require ment, it consequently follows that 'growing them and plowing them under when at their best is the most direct way to make the soil fertilize itself. This, however, is commonly thought too costly a method, requiring, as it does, the sacrifice of a crop. In lieu of it, by giving clover a two years' lease, much the same result can be realized through the decay of the stubble aud its more extensive root system, and in tho South the cow pea makes so rapid a growth that two crops may bo raised in a sea son. An indirect way in which the soil may be said to fertilize itself is through tho application of the manure from stock fed on nitrogenous fodders grown upon it. This opens up the subject of the best rotation of crops aud furnishes a wide field, not only for the furmer's own ex periments, but also for a judicious use of the knowledge which the numerous experiment stations of tho country arc yearly plucing within his reach without direct cost to himself. After all everything depends on what the soil still contains aud the macnt-r in which the plant food taken oil in pre vious crops may be most naturally and cheaply supplied aniu. -Veio York lit carder. FEEDING COWS FOR UEEF. What constitutes good beef, good mutton, and good poultry! It is the sweet, juicy, tender lean meat. But a wall portion of the fat of beef or mut ton is eaten. Look at tho bushels of butcher's wiate in uuy market and see what a lryo pur cunt, of fut it contains. And the market umu will tell you thut very fut corned btuf is "slow sulu." have never known of uu instance where prize beef gave good mtis.'ucUuii. Ou the contrary, it 1ms been very unsatisfac tory to both the butcher aud the con sumer. How shall we make ool beef of our unrcuiuueraUve duiry cows .My theory and practice may he illustrated as follows We will take fur aa exam ple a gargety cow the wor.it iu the list. There are but few cases of that class which cuimot bo cc jlud by proper f-ccdiiut aud a judicious uu of saltpeter In ft bad case I would say do not feed corn meal or oil meal. Feed wheat bran, mill-feed, ground oats, or any other easily-digested, milk-producing food; and give night and morning a great spoonfool of saltpeter (If so much proves to bo necessary) dissolved and mixed with her grain rations. For feeding a healthy animal I would add to the above list gluten meal and a small ration of cotton-seed meal, omitting the latter during tho lost two or three weeks pre vious to killing. Well-cured, early-cut clover bay is preferable to any other dry feed. Turnips and cabbage can bo fed quite freely during the earlier stages of meat production, without injury to tho milk or butter, if fed ten or moro hours before milking, as during that timo her bronth, skin, and kidneys will have eliminated all the odor from her system. Give milk-producing, muscle sustaining food. Feed only that which is sweot and freo from mold. As a rule I think it better to keep tho beef cows farrow and in milk; and with good keeping, wo get a fair quantity of extra good milk, tho cows often paying for their keeping up to tho last day. In winter, for a few weeks previous to kill ing, give the animal enough beets sugar or long blood red'proforred to keep her bowels in a healthy condition ; it may take half a bushel or not more than half a peck a day. Never overfeed ; never spoil tho appetite Undigested food makes no blood; imperfectly digested food makes impure blood, aud impure blood cannot make good meat. A littlo salt petre tends to allay fever which is often an ntteudant of high feeding and stimulates tho kidneys to throw off any impuries from tho blood. The animal when killed should be in a thriving, gain ing condition, not on tho shrink. lie mcmber that the juiciness of the meat depends largely upon how the cow was fed for two or three wcoks beforo kill ing, and that the flavor depends upon what it was fed for tho two or three days previous to killing. Our seacoast butch ers do not allow salt marsh hay to be fed to their animals for a few days before killing; and turnips are not allowed any where. A man who was an army butcher during tho war said that they turned some cattle into a wheat field in Virginia one night, and some of the cattle wcro killed tho next day, but that the meat couldn't be eaten by any one but a Frenchman; and, on examination, It was found that field garlics were grow ing among tho wheat, and the cattle had eaten freely of them. Thero can bo no hard and fast rules for feeding; animals differ, and the samo animal requires dif ferent feeding at different times. Beforo turning out, in changing from dry feed to pasture, give in tho morning nil the hay they will eat, and for their grain ration give mostly corn meal scalded if convenient continuing tho daily rations of meal for three or four weeks, ami tho hay as long as they will cat it. A full ration of immature grass is as bad for a cow as green apples lor a boy. Fcr a butter producing cow in dog days, I pre fer ground oats to any other oue kind of feed. It makes sweeter and firmer but ter than most other kinds of feed. Through the eummer feed primarily for nunc and butter, but always keep the cows gaining in flesh and yet not too much in fat. American Agriculturist, FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Late pullets should either be pushed or marketed. By having the poultry yard in a sandy or gravelly sou much slush is avoided. Horses affected with the heaves are seldom cured, but tho difficulty may be lessened by shaking tho hay, cutting it, and-moistcning it well before feeding. As long as the animal eats all the food you give it nothing is wasted. Do not lessen the supply because the quantity required is less than you wish to give. Fully one-half of the failures with brooders aro due to want of care in keep ing warm. Brooders should be arranged so that there will be no corners into which tho chicks can crowd. At the season when the market gardener is busy disposing of his crop of peas, beans, cucumbers, lettuce,onions, beets and radishes, he should be taking advantago of every moist day to set out celery plants. Wool must bo equally strong tho en tire length of the fiber, or "necessarily it will be of less value to the manufacturer; and wool of that kind can not bo grown unless the sheep is kept in good condi tion all the time. All butter tubs should be soaked in strong salt brine for two or three dnys beforo packing and then filled with but ter to within one-half inch of tho top ; then cover with a cloth aud a paste of fiuo salt and water, which should bo pressed against the tub so as to exclude air from the butter. All kinds of foods may bo relished by stock, but the food that gives the best results is thut which is most easily di gested and assimilated. Tho individual characteristics of an animal should be considered in feeding. Some animals will digest certain foods which would not bo beneficial to their associates. When the peach trees lose their dark green color and the leaves drop off pre maturely, examination of the trees should be made for the borer or for lice around the roots. Sometimes the trees will show the ill effects of a stropg growth of grass or weeds near the trunk. Keep the top soil loose, aud look well for borers, New Property of Cotton -seed Oil. If the newly discovered property of cotton-seed oil, which has been so widely proclaimed, shall prove to bo all that is claimed for it, good judges are of the opiuion that the usefulness ot that abundant product is likely to be very considerably extended. The simplicity of the process is a valuable feature which gives probability to such a result. One gallon of pure cotton-seed oil being placed in a suitable iron vessel, twenty pouuds of lead are melted and poured into the oil. which at the samo time is thoroughly stirred, under which opera tiou the lead separates in globulus, and wheu the oil is poured off, after cooling, there is fouud to be about sevouteen pouuds of tho lead, tho remaiuter buiug absorbed by the oil. Ou the lead beiug aain melted, and the operation repeated to the tilth pouring the amount of lead absorbed beiug icssat each succeed ing pouring tho total amount of lead absorbed is about ten pounds. The oil thus charged with the lead is then used as a paint, beiug upplied in the ordinary way to metallic surfaces, which it is de sired to protect from oxidation or cor rosion, the liquid adhering closely aud becoming very hard.

Pro'efsor Simon N. rattan, in a recont paper on prohibition, points out that in tha struggle lor lifo the man who does not get drunk rapidly leaves the drunkard behind, mid from this he argues that the economic advantage of the abstainer is so great that they will increase iu number iiiuca mora rapidly than the drinker, do, ami will in th-j end form a large ma jority of the American tiopulatiou. They will gradually acquire a arger share of the laud an 1 capital of Vie country, aud by their numliorfl and iiiHuence suppress their opiouentsor force them to re form.

I.CUHOI. AND LONGEVITY. The comparative longevity and vitality of total abstainers and ino.ierato drinkers ot alcoholic beverages is ciearly siiowti by an examination of the annual repjrt ot tho .United Kingdom Temperance and Uenornl l'roviilont Institution ot Lou. Ion. In the temperance section of this association tho expected claims were ;il4, but there wero actually only Jn the general section the expected claims wero :'J, and 3!-il were pre sented. This shows that among the total abstainers the death-rate was onty 7l.il par oeut. of the expectation, while anion tha moderate drinkers the percentage was 1(10. a difference of JJ6 par oeut; in fuvor ot total abstinence. Tha report shows that the comparatively large death rule is not tins to the fact that the niemtiers of the general section aro heavy drinkers, because their large pBrceut age is still below the average death rate of healthy males. Tho comparts-m, therefore, is between total abstainers ami moderate drinkers, and it seems to show what physi ologists claim, thut even a moderate ue ot akcohol accelerates the degeneration of the tissues and so shortens life.

' Nearly every incoming vessel which leaches this port report having passed some derelict tossing Bbout tho North Atlantic The peculiarity of tho reports lies in the fact that nearly every ono of the wrecked vessels is reported as float ing bottom tip. Tho ennso which in duces a craft which is built to float keel downward, to nssumo the unnatural atti tude of pointing it to tho skies as soon as abandoned, is a point on which sea faring people widely differ. It is easy enough to comprehend how nn abandoned nnd helpless vessel, drift ing at the mi TO of wind nnd wnvc, can be thrown on tier beam end nnd oven entirely capsized when struck brondsido on by an Atlantic wave. Hut why sub sapient waves do not send them back to ttheir normal floating position appears 'to bo a vexed question. An old sen captaiu, who is too modest to have his numo mentioned, accounts for the persistency with which derelicts Insist on floating about bottom up with tho reason thnt the bottoms of vessels are always watertight. When suddenly cap sized lie thinks that a quantity of air is caught in tho vessel's hold, and, being contlucd in that space, has a tendency to keep tho craft in un inverted position. An eminent naval constructor, when questioned on tho subject, explained that the phenomenon is caused by tho vessel filling with wnter, and says that auy shifting cargo changes tlio ceutro of gravity of a vessel i.nd nffects Its stabil ity.
