Spraying evperiments that have
been conducted for two years by the
Missouri Sfutinu indicate that npplo
scab run be prevented by tho nse of
Bordeaux mixture. Four applications
were found more elticaoions than
three. In orchards sprayed in lS'.U
there was less scab than in tho nil
sprayed ones. Bitter rot, while more
destructive than usual, was less preva
lent on trees sprayed with a six pouud
solution of Bordeaux mixture. At
tacks of codling moth were not pre
vented by the use of arsenics, the in
jury being due, the author thinks, to a
second brood of tho mouth nppearing
after the use of arsenics had been dis
continued. Bordeaux mixture was
efiicient in causing less loss from plum
rot where tho trees were sprayed
weekly throughout the ripening
period. At this time ninmoniacal
copper carbonato solution is recom
mended, as it does not leave a sedi
ment that injures tho appearance of
the fruit. Taris green was used with
success for repressing the curculio.
TAKING OVT STTMrS.
As dynamite is tho most powerful
explosive and explodes eo quickly as
to tear things to pieces far more effect
ively than black powder, it is desir
able to use it on this account, as well
as lor tho reason that it will exert its
force when placed loosely under the
body to be torn up. To get ont largo
stumps proceed in this w ay : With an
inch nnd a quarter iron bar punch a
hole in the ground directly under tho
middle of the rtump, gently push the
cartridge, made of half a stick of dy
namite with the cap and fuse attached,
to tho bottom of the hole, then pour
water in tho hole to settle the earth
on the cartridge, and light the fuso.
Or some dry.runniug sand may be rnn
into the bole. The explosion will tear
a stump three feet in diameter into
shreds, and these nre easily gathered
aud burned. The holes are then filled
and the laud is ready for plowing.
The cost is about twenty-five cents for
a large stump, if the work is rightly
done. Boeks may bo broken up in the
same way. Or hard-pan ground to be
dug mny be broken up much more
cheaply for digging a cellar or pit than
by picking it. American Farmer.

When tho chilly winds of winter
begin to howl about the crack
bedecked benhouseand surge through
the broken glass, or with n doleful
moan find the knotholes, is a harvest
time for the deadiy roup. Speaking
of this worst enemy of the poultry
man, P. H. Jacobs says :
"For tho roup give a tea?poinful of
raw egg (white and yolks 6lightly
beaten together), three times a dny.
For swelled eyes, anoint once a day
with vaseline, and sprinkle a pinch of
chlorate of potash down the throat.
Add a teaspoonful of chlorate of pot
ash to every pint of drinking water.
Keep the birds warm and feed meat,
raw or cooked, as part of the ration.
Mix a pint of spirits of turpentine
with u bushel of liine that has air
tdacked. Mix it intimately, and you
may use more turpentine if you
prefer. Eeatter it everywhere, on
lioors, yards, roosts, in nests and do
not miss a square inch of space. Clean
out the house and scatter lime daily.
Do not waste time and labor after you
find you can do nothing, but destroy
tho birds. Wo never saw a fowl cured
of roup tant was ever worth keeping.
Disinfect everythiug and get new
stock from healthy birds, and always
use the lime every week. Saturate
everything, yards tspeciulby, with tho
disinfectant. Here is a good disin
fectant : One ponnd of copperas, ono
pound of bluestone (sulphate of
copper), and six gallons of hot water.
Dissolve tho minerals in the water nnd
add a pint of sulphuric- acid. With
a watering pot you can apply it every
where. Do this three tnuej a week
beforo you get other fowls'. Burn or
bury the bodies of all roupy birds,
Seuld the troughs, roost3, floors, etc.,
with the disinfecting liquid by Ltatiug

"riSC'OSXECTED NOTES."
Hnrvev Johnson, of Logan, Iowa,
in an address to tho Nebraska Dairy
Association, gives the following as
"disconnected noteB upon what we
have learned from experience and what
we are using in our business :"
from the beginning we have had a
plau, nnd nre constantly working by it.
Everything is done nt a certain tims
and on time.
We never forget to look aftor the
comfort of every cow aud aro careful
that every storm finds her in her stall.
Wo prefer tho swinging stauchion.
Oats and corn ground together, with
a little oil meal added, somo bright
cut fodder and clover hay, make ai
model feed for the dairy.
Fodder cut soon after the corn i-j in
roasting cars is generally relished by
the cow, but tho results are not as sat
isfactory as when it is cnt later.
Wo have found that acaroless feeder
can use a great deal of feed from which
we get no returns.
We allow no tobacco need in the
barn nor creamery.
The cows are milked at tho same
hour each day, in tho same order and
by tho samo person.
A cow that wants more than thirty
or sixty days' rest we do not want.
Separator miik, if fed while it retains
its natural warmth, has a feeding value
of four conts per gallon.
We usually get two and one-half
pounds of butter from each gallon of
cream.
We have fouud that there is a great
difference in dairy salt.
We study the lieuiunds of tho mar
ket and the tastes of our customsrs.
We allow nothing whatever kept in
the creamery except the cream and
butter nnd the machinery tor hand
ling them.
We know of no business where the
careful attention to detail counts for
as much as in the dairy business.
Bunniug the churn just one minute
too long will often do for butter what
the most expert butter maker cannot
undo.
When ont butter is finished it does
not usuallv contain moro than twelve
per cent, of water.
e aim to have the butler entirely
free from buttermilk.
If we fail on a batch of butter onr
regular customers never see it; it is
put in a tub and sent where it is un
known.
We have found dairying a paying
business even in these dull times of
depression.
We know of nothing upon tho farm
that will give as steady an incomo as
tne malting and selling of good butter.
We would never employ a young
fellow who has a girl without we were
prepared to take a double dose of
milking on Sunday nights.
Latly, we have found that, unless a
man likes to stay at home, and unlese
he is on friendly terms with steady
work, we would hardly advise biai to
engage in the dairy business.
A Large Currant.
Although no American garden in the
northern half of our continent is con
sidered complete without some cur
rant bushes, it is raro we hear tell of
tnem growing anywhere to the perfec
tion that they tlo iu England, although
it is quite possiblo that they may suc
cessfully contend for the palm of su
periority in Canada. Tho currant
does not like long spells of warm, dry
weather; tinder these ciroumstaneet
tho leaves become a prey to parasite
fungus, and we nil know that injury
to leaves is the first step towards de
terioration. At a recent meeting ol
the Boynl Horticultural Society in
England, tho red currant called the
Comet was eibihited, iu which the
bunches were six inches long, and
some of the berries half i.n inch ic
diameter. YTith these ligures wa maj
be uljle to decide how near Ainerieai
oiirraut growers can C3me to this ex
cellence of their English brethren.

remedy with millions of 'families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by nil
who valuo good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the tact, that it is the

cleanliness without elebilitnting tho
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its beno

If in the enjoyment of good health,
ami the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
