W'c nso rock salt in large lumps for

horso bus a lump beforo him all the
time, to lick from as he inny want it.
NVe halt our cows in the barn at roilk
iDRjiine, once a day. That is, a little
ealt, y a heaping teaspoonful, is put
before every cow each morniug to cat
il kLo wants it. It is put right on the
cement feeding floor. A little salt
daily aids digestion in the cow or
horse nnd waters the milk in a legiti
mate way. Suiting freely once a week
is not the best way, any more than it
would be for ns to eat all onr salt for
the week every Sunday morning. In
fact, I believe that salt thus fed is
otteu an injury, as- well as au advan
tage. Stock need salt as well as food,
but it bboulj be given them in
proper way. Fed iu tho stable, as we
do, each cow lias her own, and cannot
be robbed by some boss cow, to tho
injury of both. Practicul Furmer.

Under the head of milking may bo
comprised the cleanliness of tho ani
mals and the luntiucr and time of milk
ing. The introduction of separators
practically revealed tho necessity for
cleanliness in a cow stable. At the
termination of the process of separa
ting a peculiar slime is to be found
adhering to the sides of the separator.
Its color varies from gray to green,
brown, end even black. When exam
ined under the microscope, germs,
portions of plunts, hair, soot, linen
Lave been discovered, and when ex
posed to the air for a short time it
pntrefies rapidly. It consists iu reality
of dirt, and, as such, must injure the
quality of milk and butter. Jn older
to keep the milk as freo from the dirt
as possible, the cows ought to be
rubbed down with a straw whisk on
their right hind quarters and udders
bofore they are milked in the morn
ing. During the day it is necessary
lo currycomb and brush each animal.
The best kind of brush to be used is
ouo made rather more open than an
ordiuary horse brueh, but of the best
bog bristle. Tho animals are first
scraped ever with the currycomb and
then brushed. Jn addition, the udders
of all cows ought to tie washed and
dried beforo milking, and the milkers
ought to dip their hands in cold water
after milking each animal. Cure must
be taken to completely empty the
udder when the cow is milked. In
large establishments where several
milkers are employed it is advisable
to select one or two of tho more care
ful pen-ons to strip the cows after they
have been milked. I'y this means the
caruleesuesi of some of the milkers
may be corrected. Each milker should
buve his own btool and pail marked or
numbered, and should be held respon
sible for the cleanliness of tho same.
The milk ought to be poured from the
pail into the milk euu through a
double hair straiuer, and the milk
cans ought, if possible, to be placed
outsido the cow house. Connecticut

Tho conclusions as stutcd in these

That colters add to draught of
plows by some lilteeu per cent. That
trucks or wheels uuder tho end of the
plow beam decrease druuvht by about
fourteen per cent, add tiuiluriuity to
the furrow uud lessen the work of the

thirty-six per cent, over a new share.
A dull share drew harder than tt sharp
one, but not na hard as abailly sharp

tho depth ond with tho width per
square inch of soil.
Walking plows gavo slightly less
draught thau sulky plow with rider.
Sulky plows drew easier down hill, but
much harder up hill than walking
plows. A share straight on its land
side am) bottom took land well nuu
gavo a slight decrease of draught. A
loss of draught was found on a sulky
plow when its adjustment to take land
was made from tho pole.
A wagon with fellies 1J iuches wido
drew ou moist, but close, blue grass
sward 41. 1! per cent, harder than
wheels with fellies throe inches wido.
Ou a dirt road, slightly moist, the
narrow tires drew 12.7 per cent,
heavier than tho wide tires.
Draught on plank road is ono-flf-tieth
of tho load, ond not ono-sov-enth
of tho draught on n dirt road in
its ordinary condition after a rain.
A load over the hiud wheels drow
ten per cent, easier thau over tho
frout wheels.
Lowering the reach, or the coupling

draught j wagons draw easier when tho
traction has an upward incline, and
harder when horses are bitched to tho
end of tho polo.
Looso burrs reduced draught fonr
fifths per ceut.
An old mowirg machino repaired
drew easier than o new one.
Tho draught was eight-sevenths per
cent, greater for a well-sharpened
eicklo than tor one more nicely sharp

draught than oue set quite loosely.
When cutter bar is not near right

increased.
Wheu guards aro out of lino tho
draught is increased.
Wheu cutter bar iccliuos tipward
draught is decreased.
When tho seatious of tho sickle do

Allow four or five iuches spaco for
each plant. .
Every surplus plant, or cane, takes
food and moisture from the soil.
Dig out and burn affected plants,
root and brauch, as soon as disease
appears.
A Wisconsin sheep breeder advocates
feeding grain to sheep ten months in

Look clorely for orange rust and
other disease on raspberries and
blackberries.
Every dead branch or weak cano
furnishes an abiding place for bug,
parasite and disease.
Cut out bearing canes of raspberry
and blackberry immediately after
fruiting, and burn them.
Allow nothing in the fruit garden
detrimental to health, growth and de
velopment of both plant and fruit.
I'istilate varieties mako plants rap
idly. To securo vigorous vines and
large, niee fruit remove all surplus
rnuners.
The man who sticks to raising tirst
class cattlo and hogs, and does it with
good judgment, will fiud it reasonably

An Iowa en ino breeder says that a

HOW TO WAsn GLASS.
Nover use soap for glass. Wash all
glasses and tumblers iu hot water and
sodn, and rinse iu cold water. Soap
is necessary for ground glass. You
should wash grouud glass globes, or
any ground glass in a lather of soap
and water and soda, with a brush, and
rinse in cold water; dry thorn imme
diately out of the cold water ; do not
let them drain. Ground glass is apt

OO01) LAUNDRY HINTS.
Iu summer timo clothes may bo
washed without any fire by soaking
Dyer night in soft, soapy water, rub
bing out in tho moruing, soaping tho
dirty places aud laying thorn in the
hot sunshine. By tho time tho last
aro spread out to bleach, the first may
bo taken up, washed out and rinsed.
This, of course, requires a clean lawn.
WTash gray and brown linens in cold
water, with a littlo black peppor in it,
aud they will not fade. For washiug
other goods that fade, nso crude or
household ammonia instead of soap.
Soiled neckties moy bo made to look
like new by taking ouo-half a tea
spoonful of ammonia to a ton-cup of
water. Wush well, and, if very much
soiled, put through a second water
with less ammonia. Lay tho necktie
on a clean, white cloth aud gently
wipe with another till dry.
To wash colored muslin, use warm,
not hot, suds, mndo with soft water
and best whito soap. Do not soak tho
muslin, and wash only ono thiug at a
tiini. Change tho suds as Boon as it
looks dingy, and put the garments at
ouco into fresh suds. Kiuso first iu
clear water slightly blued. Squeeze
quite dry, but do not wring the goods.
Hang in a shady place whero the sun
shine will not strike it, as that fades
all colors.
For lawns and orgaudics which are
delicately colored, boil wheat bran,
about two quarts to a dross, in soft
water for half an hour, let it cool,
strain the liquor, and use it instead of
soap suds. It removes dirt like soap,
keeps the color, and tho clothes only
need rinsing in ono water, Bad eveu
starching is unnecessary. Suds and
rinsing water for colored articles
should be used as cold as possible.
WhbIi silk haudkerchiets by laying
thoia ou a smooth board and rnbbing
with tho palm of tho hand. Use cither
borax or white castile soap to muko

A Strange Coincidence.
A rcmarkablo coincidence happenod
a few days ago. Hylvcstor Tron, a
woaitny null owner in Saoratnento,
who has been suffering from DriRht's
disease for years past, complained on
Sunday, .July 7, of paius around tho
heart and kidneys. Ho took to his
bed, aud on tho following Tuesday was
dead. A tolofrram was sout by tho
family of tho deceased to his brother,
Horatio, living in Middlctown, Lako
Connty. When this telogram reachod
Calistoga it was fonnd that thore was
also a telegram at that place for Syl
vester Tryon, stating that his brother
Horatio had iliod on Tuesday from
Uright's disease. The MidJIetown
brother was also well on the preceding
(Sunday, aud, as far as cau bo learned,
he took siek almost at tho same hour
as the Sacramento brother. Conse
quently two brothers, living in differ
ent portions of tho State, became ill
at the same time, died on tho samo
day and of tho same complaint.
Sylvester Tryon was, at the timo of
his death, sixty-nine years of age. He
camo to California in the days of '49
with tho pioneers. He established
himself in Sacramento twenty-five
years ago, aud since then has become
very wealthy. He is a prominent
Mason, and wag buried last Saturday
afternoon under tho auspice of that
lodgo. Horatio Tryon, the Middle
town brother, camo to this State from
fittsbtirg about ton years ago, and
became a wealthy farmer. At the time
of his death he was seventy-ono years
of age.
'Doth brothers from early boyhood
were of the same temperament and
fast friends. They were never scon
apart. Doth married at the same ages
and each reared a family of three sons,
although Horatio Tryon also had a
daughter. San Francisco Chronicle
