THE BEST mOTErriON AGAINST FLilSS.
To keep off flies, rub tho horses' oars
with cider leaves, one farmer writes
us. Oil of tar, mixed half and half
with cottonieed oil or linseed oil, is
very repcllant to flies, mosquitoes,
cto. ; olive oil is used when this mix
ture is applied to the fco by hunters,
to keep oil" blnek flies. Tho horn fly,
tho worst ot all llics that attack cows,
may be kept off by applying with a
largo brush to backs and sides of ani
mals, and especially about the oars and
horns, a mixture of two parts oi any
cheap oil and one part of thin tar
(tho latter 18 cheaper than oil of tar and
almost as good), to which add a little
crude carbolic acid. Professor Weed
of tho Mississippi station, who lias
made a special study of tho horn fly,
recommends a daily spraying of in
fested cattlo for eight days with kero
sene emulsion (one part of sour milk
and two parts kerosene, thoroughly
mixed with a spray pump and then
diluted with nine parts of water). If
the job is thus thoroughly done in
June or July, ordinarily it will so ex
terminate the he a flies that they will
not return during tho season in suffi
cient number to require repetition of
the treatment. American Agricul

As soon as discovered, let tho calf
be removed out of the cow's sight and
put in a perfectly dark place ; this will
prevent it from bawling and fretting
the cow. Let it get a little hungry.
then take some milk, warm from the
cow, back it np in a corner, wot two
fingors in the milk and let tho calf get
a taste of the milk. The prinoipal
trouble will be to get the calf to suck
with its head down J it must be accom
modated in that respect all that is
possible, for it is instinct with it to
reach up. After it has learned to suck L
the fingers, J?6 tr WooJoirtrbn'gh

and nnil to tho bottom of it a tough
rag or a leather Btrap for the calf to
suck. This is much better than to
allow it to drink. In drinking it
swallows the milk in gulps, and it does
not becomo mingled with the saliva,
and this is very apt to produce in
digcition and diarrheas. In sucking
the strap the working of the jaws
causes an abundant flow of saliva, the
milk is swallowed slowly, and it will
not sicken the calf. A calf which
once gets its stomach so disordered as
to have dinrrhcot will cause a great
deal of trouble, if it does not die ont
right. And ou no account let it re
ceive the milk cold. Ohio Farmer.
SWEET CORN FODDER.
Walker McKeen, Secretary of Maino
State Board ot Agriculture, says:
"1'rovious to having a silo we fed
quite largo quantities of sweet corn
fodder cured, with excellent results.
The L est way to manage this after it is
cut is to shock carefully and allow it
to dry thoroughly, then dray to tho
barn and pack, preferably iu a bay, in
alternate layers with oats, wheat or
barley straw. Make each layer not
more than one foot thick. Tho straw
takes up tho moisture, prevents mold
ing, and ia made hotter for feed by
contact with the corn fodder. . 'Wo
nevjr packed corn with cars on in this
way, but sco uo reason why it would
not work cquully well; theonly objeo
tion we can think of wonld bo the
danger from mice. If well packed.
however, and fed from every day with
plentv of oats about the premises, we
fchouhl not fear much damage from
this source. If you do not care to try
this plan, stand as closely as you can
in tome sheltered place, being sure to
have it placed iu such a mauuer that it
will remain standing. When feeding,
if you have a largo proportion of corn,
ycu will probably get better results by
cutting or shredding beforo feeding.
If you hnvo but a small proportion
you will have no trouble in feeding it
by using a smalJ amount each day
along with otber fodders. Animals will
do well on this fodder. One of tho

IAIHT. NOTES.
Milking cows should be practiced
according to the following prescrip
tions :
1. Work rapidly ; slowness causes
loss of cream.
2. Milk thoroughly, tc tho last drop,
because tho last milk is the best.
S. Milk at the same time every day.
4. Milk crosewiso, that is to sav.
one fore teat on the right and a hind
teat on tho left and vice versa; tho
milk thus flows more copiously than
by parallel milking.
0. Milk with four fingers and not
with index and thumb, a fault too
common with milkers.
6. Do not employ 0117 kind of milk
ing machine, --
.7. To milk young, restive cows,
raise ono of the fore feet. Never striktl
them.
8. Always keep the hands clean,
and also the cow's nddor and dairy
u tonsils.
9. During the milking avoid dis
tracting or disturbing the cow.
Iboso who neglect any of these pro
scriptions infallibly lose milk.
Ono of tho regulations of the Illinois
Stato Board ot Health is that dairy
cows shall be cleaned every day.
The best farm institutes are hold in
tho dairv sections. That sneaks well
for tbo intelligence of tho dairymen.
Thirty-two btates in the Union now
have laws prohibiting the sale of oleo
margarine when colored in imitation
of butter.
Now York City consumes over three-
fourths of a million quarts of milk per
nay. Last year the daily average was
7li,obO quarts.
Uood feeding snouid not be gov
erned by tho price of dairy products,
Neither should tho enthusiasm of tho
dairymen fluctate with the market.
Constancy is needed in both cases.
Tho makers of oleomargarine claim
that they have aa muoh right to color
product as have butter makors. lain
is all fallacy, for bntter is not colored
in imitation of any other product.
Considerable exoitement has been
caused in Ohio by the enforcement of
tho anti-oleomargarine law. The men
engaged in tbo sale of that product
have been arrested and fined, but stm
continue to transgress the law.
An unfailing test of an easy milker
is flat ends in the teats. Cows having
flat-ended teats milk easy, the outlet
being lurge ; those having pointed ends
to thoir teats milk hard, because the
outlet is small, and much squeezing is
dono to loroo out tne miiK.
Don't hire at any price a man who
has a bad templ.r; he will ruin your
cows. Don't hiro ono who is not a
food milker; he will dry off your
cows. Don't employ a man or boy
who is not willing to learn or carry
out your instructions. Kansas Farmer.

MEr-AWNO TUK PICNIO IIAM.
Ono ot the important kitchens du
ties at this season is the preparation
of extra dainties forpienio partios.and
there aro few housewives who escape
this rather doubtful pleasure during
the picnicking seaion. The bill of faro
may be variod indefinitely, but one ot
the tindispensables of the pionio din
ner is the cold ham. Various sugges
tions concerning tho best methods of
boiling tbo ham wholo will be found
among the recipoB of tho practical
housewifo, but few seem familiar with
this plan of baking it, which was pro
nounced most satisfactory on a rcocnt
picnio occasion.
It xloes not toko "a'l day" to cool
the haul wholo when baked, and some
may find it more convenient than
boiling in a bag. Irim tho ham care
fully, saw off the bono which protrudos
on the flesh side, wa?h well, and rinse 1
thoroughly in clean, hotjjrtcTTTind
wipe dry. Make a stUVrfongh of corn
tnoal and cold water ; cako it an inoh
thick all over the skin of the ham.
Flaco some clean sticks of some taste
loss wood across a largo baking pan ;
put the ham in the pan, resting it on
the sticks so that it will not touch the
bottom. Then place the pan in a hot
oven, and after it is in tho ovon, pour
into the pan (not on tho ham) enough
water to cover tho sticks. Bake slowly
for five or si hours, or longer, accord
ing to the size of tho ham. When done
take the pan from the oven, place the
ham on a dish, and remove the corn
bread cover, and let the ham beoome
perfectly cold before beginning to
slice it. The clear greaso whioh re
mains in the pan should bo poured off
while hot, and allowed to harden, to
be used as other clear drippings for
frying purposes. Homo Queen.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
White spots upon tarnished furni
ture will disappear if a hot plato bo
held over them.
If a filter caunot bo obtained for
the household it is safer to boil all
the water nsed tor drinking purposes.
A hot bath taken on going to bod,
even on a hot night of summer, is a
better cure for insomnia than many
drags.
The insldo of the skin ot tho ba
nana rubbed on tho leather of tan
shoes will clean and polish them aa
well as a regular dressing.
If . an npper pio crust is brushed
over with a little milk or egg before
placing it in the oven it will brown
quiokly and havo a better oolor.
A little powderod borax added to
cold starch tends to give the linen
extra stiffuess, and a little turpentine
put into the boiled starch adds lastre,
A handful of oaipot tacks will clean
fruit jars or bottles readily. Half fill
the jar with hot soap suds, pat in tho
tacks, cover, givo vigorous shaking
and rinse woll.
Fnt a lump of camphor in the case

"The deculogue baa boon for centuries tho
groat test ot morality. The saloon breaks

Nothing so contaminates society. Iu North
Caroliua there Is a great "breathing cave.
In the winter a violent wind rushes into it,
carrying all bofore It. It Is Impossible, at
times, for aman to wa'k agalust that wind.
Cuttle seeking shelter frequently come too
near the cave, aud perlsli. Iu tne spring tne
wind changes and blows out hairs and bones
and a horrible stench, making the atmo
sphere unbearable for miles. The saloon Is
the great breathing cavo of society. It draws

Kanrld llutter Mado Froah,
Ir. Jean Coumoigt, in collaboration
with Mr. E. A. Uuitor, says thoy have
just discovered a process by which
thoy can convert rancid butter into
butter of the freshest kind.
"Evorybody knows," Dr. Conraoiqt
paid, "that butter is composed of a
mixture of fat, oleino, margarine,
atearino. pnlmitino, butyrcno nd tho
fatty acids known as cnprlo, caproic,
butyric, in variabloproportionn, which
givo tho color nud tasto of butter.
"Tho causo of tho ranoldity of bnt
ter is tho action of tho oxygen of tho
nir, which pets tho fatly acids at lib
erty. I need not go Into this peculiar
chemical change Htnoo tho discov
eries of Pasteur on tho snbjoct of fer-
mentation everybody knows that it is
microbes which fix tho oxygen of tho
air on tho alcohols nud caseino matters
of butter to transform them into com
pound aminonincnl and fatty acidH,
which set at liberty, cause tho rancid
ity of tho butter.
Mr. (I niter and I rot ourselves tbo
task of finding a means to neutralize
tho bnthyrilatnines nud fnttv acids
which causo tho rancidity, ami our ef
forts hnvo met with a complete suc
cess. After baving melted tbo butter
nud having neutralized it with an ap
propriate bnso, it ia submitted to sev
eral washings, after which it presently
becomes as sweet nud clean as whuu it
first loft tbo dairy.
"Yon would nsk me. Does it loso any
of its original properties by this opera
tion? 1 answer, Ju. On tho con
tray, by our process wo can toll im
mediately whether a bntter is natural
or artificial. And tho loss incurred
is so insignificant an to bo almost im
perceptible." Now York Ilorald.
Share the Some Nest.
W. O. Adams relates an interesting
circumstance touching thu domestica
tion of tho quail. Up nt Milo, in the
Tule River mountains, Postmaster
Richardson has a barn in which a
mother quail has for two seasons built
her nest. This nest is sharod by a
domestic be 11, with apparently no ob
jection from tho quail. Tho hen's
eggs are removed from tho neat by
Air. Kicnardson s boys, but tbo quail s
eggs are allowed to roiunin. Last year
tho quail successfully raised a family
of birds in thin nest. Hho is back
again, and has deposited sovural eggs
lor this season s crop. luo boys say
that after tho young birds appear tho
mother bird v.:V. Softer off tho nutt a
short distanco when tho nest In ap
proached, aud allow them to catch her

that no harm will bo dono to. her or
