New York "World. KHEP CLOSB WATCH OS THB IWKKP. It is a proverb among shepherds, "Count your sheep every time jou fee them." This is the only safeguard against trouble, and when ono is missing it should be hunted up without a minute's delay. When tho weather is hot the sheep arc subject to diarrheal, which quickly becomes dysentery, ami this ii infectious and hardly curable. A sheep thus sulfcring is apt to be fly blown, and there is no more miserable sight than such a sheep. Any amount of trouble is repaid by an escape from such a calamity. Medicine alone will not stop an attack of diarrhan; absti nence from food, until it can bo digested by the restored stomach is as necessary aa medicine, and no astringents should be used for this trouble. A mild laxntivo and mucilaginous food are tho best remedies. American Agriculturist. SKIM MILK FOR CO' T. In the production of hoi - I bcli ,-ve one of the worst things to -intend with is the nebulous ideas of tho farmers. They breed a mare that is not good for anything else and to a sire that don t cost much. You get a horse that no one wants. When you get a horse that some one wants there is some one's good money to psy for it. The horse most in demand is one weighing about 12 JO t pounds, with showy action, trotter's fore shoulders, good strong limbs and crest to make a show before a carriage. I can produce, with the right kind of mares, three or four colts every year in connec tion with the dairy. Get a fall colt and feed him on tho skim milk along with his mother's milk. In this section far mers generally produce a colt and wcau him as he is coining into the lace of a northern winter. At the farm of Miller & csioiey tucy have used skim-milk in raising colts ; and Mr. Sibley told me he considered it worth fifty cents per hun dredweight for that purpose. Hoard's Dairyman. CHURNING BY MACHINERY. Where the churning of the cream is aono oy hand it entails a most arduous task upon some member of tho farm household, and in many cases it falls to the lot of the housewife. During the summer, where from three to five cows .are kept, there is half an hour of this heavy work every day. There is often a large dog watching the operation of churning that ho may obtain his usml fill of buttermilk. A treadmill can be obtained for a few dollars, and the dog made to do the work, aud you may watch the operation or devote your time to other household duties. With the improved, or even the com non powers, a dog, weighing fifty pounds, cau do the churning ot the cream from five cows, and not injure himself. Such work in hot weather should be done early in the morning while it is coel. The butter churned then will be firmer. If the do ; ii treated kindly, and petted, be will gladly do the work and be ready at the call, or appear as soon as preparations are o I served fpr the operatiou. Calve?, sheep and goats are often used in tread mills, but the dog is the most cleanly and is best adapted to the work. Human life is too short to spend much of it manip ulating the churn dasher, especially when other power is so plentiful. Au attachment can be placed on the wiutl mill, but calms interfere. American Agriculturist. PROGRESS IN DEALING WITH FRUIT INSECTS Dr. C. V. Riley read at the late meet ing of the American Pomological Society an instructive paper on "Hecent Ad rancesin Dealing with Insects and Affect ing Fruits." In this he discusses the methods of combatting the plum cur culio, codling moth, red scale, fluted scale, and other injurious insects, giving the result of recent experiments on those insects. Contrary to the expressed opin ions of many horticulturists, Dr. It: ley questions whether more injury is aone to-day to our fruits than was done fifty or one hundred years ago. la fuct, it is patent that with tho advanco made of late years in our methods of warfare against these fruit insects, less injury re latively is done; but as the area of fruit culture increases, so does the aggregate of injury and also the number of species that we have to contend with, lie warned pomoloists to be on their guard agein6t two foreign insects, likely soon to appear in this country the peach coratitis, a sub-tropical insect, resem bling the apple maggot, which is ex tremely destructive to the peuch crop i.f Bermuda, and likely to be troublesome if it once becomes established in Florida and Georgia, and the Japaneso peach fruit worm, which is allied to our cod ling moth, and in some seasons daumts ninety per ceut. of the peach cropof Japan. He suggested that provision bu made for the inspection, at ports of entry, of fruits and pluuts received from uuy part of the world from which we kuo.v danger threatens. American Farmer. TRAINING GRAPH; VINES. A wire is better than strips or poles. The little tendrils Ecem to be able to grasp and hold to the wires better than to wooden poles or strips. Another item is of importance, aud that is to have the wires stretched reasonably hit'h. This admits more air and a better circu lation underneath, and in this way lessens the danger of rot or mildew, while at the same time it affords a better oppor tunity of working and cultivating aroui'd tlie vines. Generally two good vines will be sufficient, aud the top wire can be five feet from the ground. Good stout slakes will uus.vtr at each vine if good stout posts are set occasionally and they are well braced and then care is taken to stretch and fasten the wires tight. Care must bo taken eachyoar to prune severely. The greater part of the prun ing should be done in winter, when the weather is mild, and before the sad starts in tho spring. Some pinching Lack can always be done during the summer when needod. While the soil should be rich, it is easily possible to have it too rich, and tho plants make too heavy a growth of wood at tho expense of fruit. Potash fertilizers are especially valuable. OU vines, pieces of leather and wood ashes can nearly always bo npplied with bene fit, witu a young viue care must be taken at first not to allow it to mature too much fruit. Nearly all yovftg, thrifty vines will set more fruit tiis.ii it shoutd be allowed to mature. The remedy is to thin out some nfter tho fruit has set. A good sprinkling of air-slacked lime or copperas under the vine is a good pre ventive of mildew. Spraying in good seasou will often nid to prevent rot. During the early part of the season. and especially with young vines, thor ough cultivation should be given, keep. lag tue son in good tilth and clear of weeds and grass. Tho greater port of the work can, of course, be done with the horse cultivator, but somo work will need to be done with the hoe, if clean cultivation is given around the vines. Care must be taken not to prune too much while the vine is growing. The plants breathe through the leaves, and if too many of these are taken off while growing the plant will be injured. Form and Vineyard. FAR AND GARDEN NOTES. When rye is fed to horses use a laxa tive with it. Whilo oil cake is injurious to mares in foal corn is not. A poultice of fresh slacked lime and lard is said to be a sure euro for lumpy jaw. . Knee-sprung horses should be shod with a shoe the heel of which is thicker than the toes. It is poor policy to turn the horses out in tho pasture at nights and let them se cure their owu food. The rule of express companies in feed ing horses is ten pounds of hay aud four quarts of oats per meal. Prepare suitable sheds and a constant supply of pure water, before you ar range to go very extensively into the sheep business for the winter. Labor-saving machinery is a drawback instead of an aid to the farmer, unless the labor thus released is turned again into other productive channels. A road tax may bo burdensome, but in fact it is not near so much so as the tux daily imposed and paid by every farmer who hauls produce to market over poor roads. When buying trees for your orchard this fall, bo sure to learn how thoy have been propagated. If not grafted on whole roots of seedlings, have nothing to do with them. Exercise more care this season in cull ing out the ewes. Retain only the best for breeding purposes, use the best sire you can obtain, and make the flock pay even better the coming year than you U1U IUI5. The smaller industries of the farm often pay a belter ratio of Drofit than the large ones. Givs attention to the fowls, the bees and the garden, and the aggregate profit from the three will be a suug little sum. In order to distribute manure evenly, so that all portions of the field will be equally benefited, it must be made fine. It is not economy, although it may save a little labor to throw the manure out in lumps and masses. The value of scientific work in the inter ests of agriculture should not be under valued, nor the honest effort of the un learned farmer. But practice, in com bination with science, furnishes the beat means for the end desired. Those who have poultry to sell this year will be sure to get a good price for them, for there is none in store. Aud those who know how to raise the best poultry will get almoit any price their consciences will allow them to ass. The best way to save the valuable droppings of the hen house is to gather them up daily and cover them with dry earth or gypsum to prevent the escape ot ammonia. Wood ashes or lime should not be used, as they set the ammonia free. Before you turn the horses out for a lest in pasture, as you should do after harvest, take oil his shoes. We know fouio good farmers who even keep their plow horses unshod, saving money and keeping the feet in good condition at the same time. Browa rot or gray rot of the grape, also sometimes known as downy mildew, is due to a fungus which thrives in warm, wet weather. Spraying with Bordeaux mixture or ammonia carbonate is a sure cure. The vines should be sprayed every fifteen days from the first of July till the trait begins to turn blue. The author of "Common Sense in the Poultry Yard" says that he is satisfied from his own experience that less than an acre and a half for each hundred hens is not good economy. On less than an acre it is dilficult to carry out the rotation of crops that is absolutely necessary, and tho fowls do not acquire the vigorous health that is so desirable. It is useless for a beginner to try aud experiment with hens. There is no business which is more injured by con stant chuugiug, trying to find something better, and discarding the old before anything better is obtuiued than the poultry business. All breeds of fowls have some good points, and the ideal oue, satisfactory in everything, has not been discovered, and this is not the worst of it. There is very little chance of u fowl being discovered which will be an excellent layer and reach a good weight for table use. Girls over twelve can make valid wills under the laws of Scotlaud. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. ABOUT AIIUHO BEDS. In airing beds the most thorough, care ful housekeeper often errs through her very thoroughness, flhe will shake the sheets, blankets, etc, and hang them out of the window and over chairs, hav ing them all exposed as much as possible to the direct rays of the sua and in the strongest breeze, and this is just what should be done. Thon the pillows will be taken up and shaken and thumped until they are fluffy and placed in the very sunniest spot, snd this is all wrong. The sun will draw tbe oil from the feathers, and the pillows will have a rancid, disagreeable odor. Expose them to the air daily ; be as thorough as you please in this, and place the pillow slips in the sun if you wish, but do not make tho mistake of giving pillows, bolsters,' cusmons or anything containing feathers a long sun bath, or you will do them more harm than good.

"I always keep soft paper bags from the groceries tuckei in this box nailed up near the stove and every day I slip two or three over my gloved hand and give a rub ; tho consequence in tha' 1 only need apply polish once a week.' Another little thing worth remembering in regard to stove cleaning is to wipe tho dust from tho stove thoroughly be fore you apply any polish. There is always a right and a wrong way to do thing and tha wrong way doubles the task. American Agriculturist. CAULIFLOWER IW VARIOUS WAYS. No more delicious vegetable exists than the cauliflower, which has within the last dozen years becomo so cheap, though formerly considered a luxury. Cauli flower is now in market all tho year round. In the spring months it is brought to New York from England, but the British vegetable docs not have the flavor, after its sen voyage, of the cauliflower picked in the Long Island gardens under the hands of skilled cul tivators. There are maty delicious ways of cooking this vegetable besides the fa miliar one of boiling it and snrviug it with cream sauce. An excellent way is 'au gratin." To prepare a cauliflower this way, select a large, flue one. Tear off the leaves, pick the flowerets apart, cut off the roots, and wash it thorough ly in cold water. Then put in a sauce pan in abundance of cold water. Add a handful of salt and let the vegetable cook for thirty minutes after it begins to boil. When it is cooked, drain it, put it in a baking dish, and have ready a cream sauce, made by mixing a table spoonful of flour with two tablespoon fuls of butter, stirriug in two cups of milk with salt and pepper. Let the cream sauce cook ten minutes after making it. Add three tablespoonfuls of grated Par mesan cheese, and pour it at once over the cauliflower in the baking dish. Sprinkle over the cauliflower three more tablespoonftrls of Parmesan cheese, a tablespoonful of fresh bread crumbs and a few bits of butter. Let the cauliflower bake in a quick oven for about twenty five minutes, when it should be a rich brown all over. New York Tribune. BAKED AND POTTED PEARS. Among fall fruits the pear holds an important place, although its reputation has suffered somewhat from improper treatment when an attempt has been made to servo pears cooked, either as sauce or canned. The pear possesses some peculiar qual ities, and requires a different treatment from other fruits. It is tbe only fruit that is better for being removed from the tree when green and laid aside to ripen. It has no marked flavor of its own, and readily absorbs that of any spice or fruit. It requires to be cooked much longer than most fruits. When simply canned, its only recommendation to most persons is its looks; and tbe large, white, per fectly shaped halves do look nice, but are tasteless and insipid. Ripe juicy pears are delicious served with sugar and cream. The pears should be put on the ice until cold, peeled, sliced thin, sprinkled with sugar, and served immediately. Pears bake nicely and make a very rich dish. They require at least two hours to cook. Baked Pears, No. 1. Wash and wipe the pears, cut in halves, remove the core and all imperfections; put in a deep earthen baking dish, cover with water, and place in a hot oven. When soft, add sugar and brown. Baked Pears, No 2. Select sound, perfect pears; place iu a baking dish with a little water. Bake until thor oughly done. When cool, remove tho skins, roll each pear in granulated sjgar, and arrange iu a glass dish. Serve with whipped cream. A housekeeper whoso dishes always prove acceptable and appetizing prepares what she calls potted pears in this way : Take nice ripe pears; do not peel but wipe carefully; cover the bottom of a stone jar with pears, stems upward, and sprinkle sugar over them, then set in another layer of pears, sprinkle over more sugar, and continue until the jar is full. Put in a pint and a half of water to every gallon of fruit. Cover the jar close, and set in a slow oven two hours. Housekeepers remote from markets, who are obliged to buy their supplies of fruit canned, will find the pears much improved if treated in this way; Re move the fruit from the can, and if the pears are soft enough for a broom straw to pass easily through them, drain oil the juice and set tho pears aside. Put the juice in a porcelain kettle with half a pint of sugar and a pint of water. Tie half a teaspoonful of ground cloves in a piece of thin muslin, and throw into tbe syrup, which should be boiled until it looks thick and rich. Then put in the pears, aud cook ten minutes. Carefully remove each piece of penr with a wooden or silver spoon to a glass or earthern jar, pour the syrup over them, and cover tightly until cold. The bag of cloves should be removed before the pears are put in the syrup. Harper's Bazar, TEMPERANCE. wonxiifo ncorn's orisatickt kxkmt.

Cleveland (Olii j) Leader. WASTE CATTSED BY THE DRINK HABIT David A. Wells, oue ot the most accurate ot our statistical writers, estimates tbe pros ent yearly waste by th National drink hab it aa tiro hundred millions of dollars. Ac cepting and using this estimate as the basis of calculation, and allowing for pant changes in population and in tho drink habit, we reach the conclusion that, the waste of forty years by this curse of our Nation hai been the grand total of ten billions ot dollars. That we may grasp the full import of this sum, lot us measure it by comparison with some splendid achievement of th Nation. H a are all proud of the record ot results 1 secure! Dy the early efforts of our fathers. But this waste of forty years of the saloon i owar is equal to all that the pmple ot this laud were able to accumulate from the set tlement at Jamestown down to th financial panic lit 157. but the estimate of Mr. Wells is not ao tepted by most of temperance people. They tell us that the present yearly waste ot the -a loon is at least niue hundred millions ot lollars. On this basis t le loss ot th last orty years by tbe drink habit was eighteen illions of our money. This equals all that was saved in the United States no in its dis inver; by Columbus to the close of the Civil War in 115. We try ti gra..p the full im port of theae figure.
