TREATMENT OF GABOET.
Tbo causo of garget in cows is
usually excessive flow and richness of
milk, which, if the bag isuot relieved,
Eoon causes inflammation and con
gestion or caking. It is always the
best oow that is troubled in this way.
The evil is made greater by feeding
too .highly of what will produce a
large flow ot milk. The bag or udder
of cows shonld be examined frequently
for several days before tho cow calves.
If it seems distended it should be re
lieved by milking out all that can bo
got from the teats at least once, and,
better still, twice a day. Wo have
sometimes milked ten davs or more be
fore the cow calved. If the milking is
begun it must be attended to evcrv
day, as the act of milking increases
the milk flow. Rubbing the bag after
all the milk is drawn with a salve made
of garget root or poke root and cream
will do much to relieve the pain. We
have used tho poko root for this pur
pose, and have known it to be used by
others. It is a weed that grows very
luxuriantly on newly-cleared laud,
and its berries are familiar to every
boy in the country, as their red iuico
is often used to write with. The poko
root is reputed to bo poisonous if

Tho broom corn crop requires rich

to make it very profitable. ' It is very
difficult to keep free from weeds while

When tho asparagus is done wilh(

that grow from seed, as thoy are most
uiiiicuit to eradicate, and crowd thd
plantation. So that as soon as thd
seeds are seen to bo forming tho fe'
mnlo plants are to be dug out, or at
lenst cut down, so as to provent the
seed formiupr.
A good method is then to cover thd
bed with good manure, clean of wcedd
and well rotted. It may bo covered
threo inohes deep with benefit to thd
next year s growth. When tho bi

lho seeds should be savod when rino
for next year's supply of tho annuals.
Tho perennials should be reproduced
by cuttings or division of the roots,
and tuo bulbs should bo taken care of,
so that after tho first year this part of
tho garden will bo self supporting.
Tho porennial bulbs and such plants
as lilies, cactuses, and others whose
habits are to flower early in tho sum

which they naturally get in tho dry
summer of their native places, should
bo kept dry after flowering. If in

they Bhould be repotted in fresh soil
and the new growth encouragod. And

make cuttings of the common flower

any cost. Indeed, the young people

It is very easy to improve a flock of
common fowls by using pure bred
males, and the cost of a male is so lit
tlo, comparod with tho increased gain
in size and prolificacy in a flack, as
well as uniformity of color, that there
is nothing to prevent all from discard
ing the mongrel male.
If clover is finely chopped, boiling
water poured over it, and the mess al
lowed to remain over night, until the
next morning, a strong decoction of
the clover is obtained, known as clo
ver tea. This water off tho clover is
tho best of all liquids for mixing
ground grain, especially for chicks.
The clover may be fed to tho fowls
with benefit. It is an excellent and
agreeablo change for the fowls if it is
thickened with corn meal and bran,'
and it may be nsed for ducklings or
young turkeys. ;
It may happen that some have not)
hatched out tho pullets for next year
as early as they desired, and if so they
should uso Leghorn males with their
hens. The reason is that as the Leg
horn matures early, a pullet that is a
cross of Leghorn and some other breed
will grow rapidly, nnd thus gain in
growth in a short time as fast as a
pullet of a largo breed in a longer
time, and the Leghorns are also excel
lent layers.
A ma e and twelve hens, selected
and placed apart from the other fowls,
will produce all tho eggs desired for
hatching on the majority of farms,
and it will consequeutly be a saving
of room and feed if all the cockerels
are sold. There are oo many useless
and expensive members of tho flock to
allow a profit when the males nnd non
laying hons aro rotained. ltednoe ex

Tho poultry man who uses stale eggs
for nest eggs at this season of the year
invites lice and low prices. The stale
eggs become broken and fill the poul
try house with fifth and disagreeable
odor. The proper method is to use
no nest eggs at all. The hens that are
accustomed to laying in certain nests
will always resort to them, needing
no invitution ; in fact, they will not
chango their laying places if they can
avoid it. .Stale, eggs are sure to break
and scatter their contents over the
nests sooner or later.

This Was Too Much.
A few years ago Jim Chesslcy was
ono ot tho best all-round athletes on
the coast, but ho mado a specialty of
baseball and sprinting. One night,
after boing out with tho baseball
crowd, he suggested that they go up
to nis lodgings ana look at a new suit
bo had bought to sprint' in. Though
it was two o oleck in tho morning,
tnoy acccptod Lis invitation.
Chesslcy put on his new running
shoes and trunks. While he was still
prancing about tho room before his
admiring friends a commotion was
heard out in tho hall and cries of
"Stop thief!"
Chesslcy threw open Lis door in
timo to see a man darting down the
stairway, llo dashed after tho fellow
and after a sprint of halt a block
caught him. When Chesuley took him
by the collar ho whirled around as if
he iutoudod to tight, but when he had
sized Jim up lrom tho top of his head
to his spiked eoIcs his jaw dropped,
ho shook his heal hopelessly and
said :
"I give up, partner. When they
keep a man ready in ruuniu' costume

Take Care or Your Watch.
Tho nioohnuism of tho human body re
minds oue very much of the niechuuteul con
struction of a lino watch, the wheels, cogs
and scrowa answering to the musolos, and
the delicate springs aro what may bo likened
to tho uervos. Ono cannot move without
the other, and yet the action of oucblssopa
rato aud distiuot." So It Is with the nerves aud
muscles of tho human body. The ailments
of tho muscles aro distinct lrom the ailments
of the nerves, and, like the mechanism of a
watch, If exposed to sudden chango of heat
and cold, they get out of order aud for the
time aro useless. Especially Is this so atthls
seosou ot tho year, when from exposure,
negllgeu.te or want of cant, the nerves aro
attacked and ueuralgiu iu its worst form sets
lu. Hut like oil to the works of a watch so

It is acknowledged by thousands to b tho
best and most permanent euro for this most
dreaded disease; heuco It is well to look after
