How Hair Tins are Msde.
For years tho EnRlish and French
controlled the manufacture of hair
juns, mnl it is only within the last
twenty yrsrs t tint the gooils have been
produced in thin country to liny ex
tent. The machinery ned in of a deli
cate nnd intricate character, as the
rices at which tho pins are sold
nccesftitate the cheapest anil most
rapid process, which can only be pro
cured by unionist io machine.
' Tho wiro is made expressly for the
purpose and put tip in lnre coils,
which are placed in a clamp, which
carries it to the machine while
straightening it. From there it rims
into another machine, which cuts,
bends, and by a delicate and instan
taneous process sharpens tho point.
IbinninR at full speed, these machinos
will turn out 120 hair pins every min
ute. To economizo it is necessary to
keep them running day and night.
Tho difficult part of the work is in
Iho enameling, which is dono by dip
ping tlia pins in a preparation and
bakiug in an oven. Hero is where tho
most constant and careful attention is
required, as the pins must bo perfect
ly smooth and tho enamel have a per
fect polish. The slightest particles of
dust cause imperfections aud rongh
ness, which is objectionable. Pitts

It is often tho enso that tho cream
of the milk of a cow duo to calve in
two or three months will not niako
butter, but foams in the churn and
rapidly becomes very sour. The milk
of a cow undergoes a chftnge about
this time, nnd some cows aro so af
fected that the cream will not yield
any butter. Every cow should be
dried off, if the milk does not stop
naturally, two months before the calf
is due. At any rate, good butter enn
not be made from the milk so near
calving. This condition of the milk,
of course, is at once evident in a sin
glo cow, but doubtless there are cows
in herds in the same condition, but
are not dctcctod. It shows how need
ful it is that a strict watch should bo
kept on each of tho cows in a herd.

SLOW OB FAST DRYTJfCJ.
It makes a great difference in the
value of corn fodder whether it is cut
during warm, dry weather, when it
will cure rapidly, or Inter, when rains
and cold make it dry out more slowly.
AU tho time it is moist some waste is
going on in the nutritive value ot tho
stalk. When the drying is hastened
the waste is small ; when it is pro
tracted by rains, especially with warm
weather, the waste is much greater.
It is not stopped entirely by cold
weather. As the moisture freezes out
of the stalks it is found that the woody
fibre is increased and tho nutritive
value has decreased in like proportion.
Every farmer knows that cornstalks
after repeated freezing and thawing
become of little value for feeding.
They are dry, tasteless, and tho stock
will not eat tbem readily, as they do
the partly-dried stalk at the begin
ning of winter. Much is said about
tho waste of nutrition by fermentation
in the silo. There is such waste, but
it is trivial compared with the watCe
of cornstalks by slow drying. The silo
makes the nutrition more available by
partly cooking tho food. Boston

COLIC IN HORSES.
Irregular footling in vho matter of
hours, long fasts and too great quan
tity given at long intervals are fre
quent causes of colic, says tho New
York World. Irregular work is not
without its influence -a twenty-mile
journey once a week is likely to be
productive of more mischief than the
some distance every day. A horse put
to hard work at intervals cannot be
kept in condition. Horses ought to
be fed late at night and early in the
morning; they should have at least
two hours to consume and digest the
morning feed before being takon out
to work, and if nat retnrncd to tho
stable when the next feed is due,
should be provided with nose bags.
Changes of food should be intro
duced gradually. Horses may bo fed
with impunity on what will make tbem
seriously ill if care is not taken to
make the change gradually. Thus,
Bitcu iuuii, wuen 11 nrst comes in,
and is young and succalont, often
causts gripes, because fed too largely
to tho exclusion of the accustomed
dry material. If a small quantity is
cut with the hay chaff to begin with,
xno norse is less grcocly about it when
a larger quantity is allowed, and tho
digestive organs as gradually become
accustomed to tho change. Attention
to the prevention of colio is much bet
ter than tho possession of a recipe for
jib cure, ior some aay tue reciue misses
fire, and death w us tho match. Apart
from this, an attack successfully dealt
with fctill moani loss of service for
some time very often at a busy
period.
FEEDINO APPLES TO COWS.
Kiere has long been a practical
opinion among farmers that while
sweet apples might be fed to cows
with satisfactory results, sour apples
wero very injurious for them; but
this opinion has been founded upon
very slight actual knowledge ot the
real foeding value of apples. At the
Vermont station applo pomivce, en
silaged, aud nsed supplementary to
and in part as a substitute for corn
ensiloge, was found to bo relished by
cows, and the results of four tests
found ft to bo about equivalent in
feeding valuo to corn eusilago. At the
Massachusetts station Dr. Uoessmunn
found apples to contain about eighty
per cent, of moisture, the apples hav
ing been gathered October (ith. The
farther advanced apples are towards
maturity tho more sugar is found in
them, and their value depends lurgely
upon the amount of dry matter which
they oontain. Laboratory testBshow
that the feeding value of applos is some
what higher than that of an equal
weight of turnips. Applo pomace it
said to be equul to suar beets, it be
ing a somewhat singular chemical fuet
thut tho pomace is richer in nitrogen
ous matter than the apple from which
it has been produced, and the feed
ing value of pomace is assumed to
be, pound for pound, one-third high
er than that of the wholo apple, bull
apples are deficient in nitrogen, und
ought on this account to bo literally
supplemented for dairy cows with
wheat shorts, bran, oil cakes, clover
aud good hay. To obtaiu the best re
sults fioin feeding them to cows, the
early sort should bo fed by itaelf,
sour ones in less quantity thuu sweet
ones, fed when fully ripe, after the
night's milking. Tho quantity should
not exoeod four to six quui ts to a feed.
American Agriculturist.
nvs AS A PAW IT HE CHOP.
I hovbelioved for tweuty-llve years
that most of us, in what is called "tho
West," did not sufficiently appreciate
tho Valuo of rye as a late fall nnd early
spring pasture crop, writes E. 1).
Coburn in tho Now York Tribune.
Where conditions are at all favorablo
it furnishes an axtoniHhing quantity of
rich, succulent grazing just at a time
of year when it is most relished and
most needed by all kinds of farm ani
mnls, even including poultry. It
pieces out to great advantage other
feed that may bo scant or poor, and
while especially agreeable to all tho
stock, it will mako poorly nourished
cows practically donblo their milk in
quantity and quality. In fact, I have
never 8ecn a Kansas farmer so well
fixed that a good piece of rye posture
wasn't a genuine bonanza to him.
There has never been a season in all
tho central West when somothing of
that sort was more of a comfort to its
possessor than it will likely be within
tho next nine months. Hence I would
say to every farmer who reads this,
do not fail to sow, nnd sow early (in
fact just as soon as tho ground can be
put in proper condition), a goodly
area of rye for pasture. Don't sow it
for grain, but for pasturage; make
tho most of it for grazing, and if
eventually it also yields some grain
worth harvesting, well and good. If
you can't secure the seed readily, sow
wheat just as you would rye ; if it is
not a plump, high grade article, that
will cut but a small figure if sound.
If of small or shrunken berry I would
not sow less than five pecks to the
acre; if plump a bushel and a half
would be none too much ; at all evonts,
uso plenty, and don't bo afraid of
having too many acres. I haven't
discovered anything that was a better
regulntor for the pigs, the colts, tho
calves, the cows or the old blind mare
than a good bite of green rye or wheat.
It is excellent in years of greatest
abundance ; in years whon other food
is scarce or poor, it is simply indis
pensable really a benefaction. Sow
it with a drill or broadcast as you
think best, but do a good job, as it
you desired success aud meant to do
servo it.
FARM AND GARDES KOTEP.
A little vaseline and carbolic acid
applied to parts of the horse that ho
cannot touch with tail or head will

Producers who have formerly do
pended on ensilage may be obliged to
at least partially substitute grain to
make their winter dairying for 1891
and 1895 profitable.
Professor Roberts, of Cornoll, says
the great difficulty with farming is too
much or too little moisture, and too
littlo cultivation, thus indicating tho
necessity of drainage.
Before storing articles in the cellar
take a day for tho purpose, use a peck
or more of sulphur, if necessary, and
fumigate it two or three times, in order
to purify tho walls, floors, ceilings
and bins.
A. W. Pope, Wollosloy, Mass., says
of alfalfa: It goes down further and
comes up faster than common clover.
The quality of tho hay is good, but it
is hard to cure. I get three crops
the year following tho planting.
Foals should bo taught to eat grain
while yet with tho mures, and then tbo
weaning process is not so likely to
check their growth. Feed any spare
milk to tho weanings until they get
well started on regular rations of grain
and hay.
Dairymen should wake up to the fact
that it is quite as easy, at a well-managed
creamery, to make good buttor
in winter as in summer. When they
realize this we shall not see so many
idle establishments just at the time
when they should be running at their
fullest capacity.
It is not only unprofitable but cruel
to let milch cows wander about in
grassless fields under a merciless sun.
Under such conditions keep them in a
small, shady enclosure if you have
one, and there feed tbem their forage
and see that tbey have plenty of cool.
pure water at regular intervals.
Select a bull from a good dairy
family, and then breed the very best
of your cows, feed the resulting young
sters well, aud train them so that they
can be easily handled when you are
ready to put them in the dairy. This
feeding and training is a necessary
supplement to tho breeding, in order
to inuke a perfect dairy animal.
Cold weather shuts off the egg sup
ply among poultry keepers who do
not understand their business, and
then they cry thot there is no profit in
fowls. But the wise man makes his
houses warm and snug, feeds liberally
and a good variety of food, compels
tho fowls to take exercise and reapoth
his reward in a bountiful harvest of
eggs which sell at good prices.
Perhaps you have your dairy np to
a certain staudurd of excellence, but
how are you to keep it there? Some
of the cows will soon begin to got old.
Then they must go to the butcher.
Better be ruining and training some
good heifors, whose brooding you
know, to take their places. Do not
wait until you have to use them, and
then buy where it comes handy.
Do not be scarod out of tho poultry
business bocauso people speak of it
coutemptnoUHly, calling it a "littlo
buHiness." It can be made just as
large as your ability aud adaptability
will justify. It is more a question of
theso elements than of capital. The
latter is good in its pluoo, but it is not
the only requisite, und too much of it
has wrecked this business more than
onoe.

vestigations of the lowest temperature
attainable. There are two degrees of
burns. In one case the skin reddens
at first and turns blue tho following
day, and subsequently tho area of tho
spot expands until it becomes nearly
doublo its original dimensions. The

until five or six weoks after its ooenr
iewtin accompanied by a very pain
ful itching on the affeotod spot and
the surrounding tissues. Whon the
burning is more serious, produced by
longer contact with the oold body, a
burning of the second degree is ex
perienced. Iu this case the skin is
rapidly detached, and all parts reached
by tho cold behave like foreign bod
ies. A long and stubborn suppura
tion sots in, which does not soetn to
accelerate the reoonstitution of tho
tissues. The wounds are malignant,

On ono occasion, wiien m. 1 10101
was suffering from a severe burn duo
to a drop of liquid air, he accidental
ly scorched tne same nana very se
riously. The scorched portion was
healed in ten or twelve days, Dtu mo
wound produced by tho oold bnrn was
open for upward of six months. In
order to try the effeot of radiation in
dry cold air, M. Fictet held bit bare
arm up to tho elbow in a reirigerat
ing vessel maintained at 105 degrees,
when a sousatiou of a peculiarly (lis
tmct character was felt over the wholo
skin and throughout the muscles. At
first this sensation was not very disa
greeable, but gradually it became do-
cidcdlr so, aud after three or four
minutes the skin turned blue and the
pain become more intense and doep
seated. On withdrawing the arm from
tho refricerator at the cud of ten
minutes a strong reaction was exper
ienced, accompanied by a superlieial
inflammation of tbo skin. Newcastle

Making Hatches ot Taper.
Matches made from paper are
novelties, but Brunswick, Go., has a
factory in full operation that is daily
turning out Humbert of them.
At present the factory is conducted
on a limited plan, and was oommenced
merely as an experiment to see what
demand could be created for the new
product, but tho success that has
greeted the experiment justifies its
continuance on a large scab, and it is
expected that paper matches will soon
be turned out in mammoth propor
tions.
Kosenda Torras is tho owner of the
new factory, and Senor Antonio Frat
is manager, Mr. Torras being coun
sel for a number of foreign countries,
a large lumber exporter, and a direc
tor in the Rational bank, is sufficient
guarantee that the backing of the
concern is not limited, and if the suo
cess with which the industry Btarted
is continued, it will not lack for capi
tal to push it. Atlanta Journal.

flOTHERS
and those about to
become mothers,
should know that
Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription
robs childbirth of
its torture, terrors
and dangers to
both mother and
child, by aiding Nature in preparing the
system for parturition. Thereby "labor"
and also the period of confinement are
greatly shortened. It also promotes an
abundant secretion of nourishment for
the child. During pregnancy, it pre
vents "morning sickness" aud those
distressing nervous symptoms from
which so many suller.

Cold Cures.
Many bad colds oome from bad di
gestion. Whon the stomach is out of
order the body is liable to eatou any
thing that is epidemic Cold cures
and complexion remedies are twins in
therapeutics. One old prescription
still holds good : Get into bed and
stay there twenty-four hours; est and
drink nothing, not even water ; the
noxt day take an alcohol bath and rub
every part of the body red with a
coarse towel ; swallow a mild laxative
and drink a bowl of hot milk or thin
gruel. This Will cure a bad oold and a
bad face, if the patient takes no more
food for the day than is absolutely
necessary. Home and farm.

Corn 255 llusliels to tlie Acre.
The largest crop of corn ever pro
duced on one acre, according to tho
Charleston News and Courier, was that
raised by a farmer in Marlboro
County, South Carolina, in 18U2. t
prize "of 81000 wsb offered for tho
largest yield on au acre, nnd this
farmer chose a piece of wornout piney
woods, sandy land, to which ho ap
plied more than a thousand dollars'
worth of fertilizers. The season was
favorablo nud tho cultivator wsb kept
going abnost constantly. The stand
became so thick and heavily burdened
with ears that fences had to be built
to sustain it. When the crop was
gathered it measured within a peck of
255 bushels, and carried off tho prizo,
which tho fanner richly desorvod, for
it takes a vailant man to spend moro
than a thousand dollars to enrich a
tingle acre.
