Never permit a filthy person arounc
your dairy. His slovenly habits •will
taint everything he touches. Tainted
products are always inferior, no matter
how much care and skill has been exer
cised in their manufacture. While he
or she is about the place you wilfully
decrease the value of your labor and
product. Cleanliness at every stage ie
an absolute necessity in dairying. It
pays, too. What is said against the
presence of slovenly people about the
dairy, applies with equal, if not greatei
force to sick or sickly persons.—Ameri
can Dairyman.
A WINNING COMBINATION.
Dees, chickens, and small fruits make
a winning combination. They interfere
with each other as little as possible, al
though the bees may eat some of the
fruit, and the chickens, unless fenced
out, do likewise. But the chickens car
be fenced out. Bees and chickens get
along quite amicable, the former occu
pying the heights, while the latter feed
upon the ground. White clover agreei
with both. From it the bees sip th<
whitest honey of the year, the Chickens
find in it food for growth and egg pro
duction. By all means, if you are so
situated that you can, try this combina
tion and see whether or not it is a profit
winner.—American Agriculturist.
NAMING THE FARM.
Says th®. Rural New Yorkerf "What
is the financial value of an attractive
name for a farm? The bestowal of dis
tinguishing names is becoming somewhal
general; why not give sufficient thought
and deliberation to tho selection of
pleasing, and where practicable, charac
teristic onos? Doesn't such a designa
tion help to make tho pleasant associa
tions of a place more lasting? Then,
again, the owner of "Brookside," "Thi
Oaks," "Eimswood" or "Bayview," can
hardly be looked npon as a "common
farmer." Moreover, such a namo is ti
conscious or unconscious stimulus to the
owner's best efforts to improve and beau
tify the farm, and take precaution? that
its products shall be first-clas* and leave
it only in first-rate shape. Then, if the
goods are stamped with the name of the
place, hasn't it a commercial value once
its repatation has been established? Lei
there be more distinguishing names foi
farms, and let them be always attractive
and chara.'terhtic."
FEEDING PALT TO HOUSE**, BIIEEP, ETC.
It will not make much difference
whether horses are given salt once or
twice a week, or have it placed in the
form of large lumps where they can lick
it whenever they want it, but in no
case should a large quantity be mixed
with their food. If rock salt is usod it
should be placed in a manger or box,
separate from the oue used for grain and
other food; then there will be no danger
of the animal eating more thaa he needs
at one time. Sheep require salt as well
as horses, and if deprived of it they are
very likely to be infested with various
kinds of internal parasites, such as the
liver fiuke, tapeworm, hair worms in the
intestines, etc. Common salt is nature's
vermifuge and destructive to intestinal
worms, and for this reason, if for no
other, domesticated animals should
always be provided with all their appe
tites may crave. Sheep in regions where
they aro deprived of salt are very likely
to be infested with tapeworms, and their
flesh is unfit for human lood on this ac
count. The green scum seen on the sur
face of the water of stagnant pools or
ponds is composed of minute aquatic
plants, and when these die and decay
they emit the strong odor to which you
refer. The best way to sweeten such
pools—if they cannot be drained—is to
utilize them for geese or duck ponds.
Water fowl will agitate and force air
into the water and soon purify it. Sow
wild or cultivated lice about the border
of your pond and let water fowl gather
the crop.—New York Sun.
FARM DRAINAGE.
Where water after rains stands for a
long time in the furrows and slight de
pressions in the ground, and on lands
where the shoes of the farmer, except
in periods of drought, are habitually
clogged with sticky mud, and the hoofs
of animals as they sink into the yielding
•oil make cavities that maintain their
shape for days, oftentimes holding water,
the necessity for drainage of some kind
is too clearly indicated to admit of any
doubt. For changing such unfavorable
conditions, wherever the lay of the land
will permit, open surface drainage is
often resorted to at first.
While such drains are useful in some
cases in the matter of a permanent im
provement of the soil they amount to
but little and aro liable to be the cause
of impoverishment in tho soil itself by
carrying off fertilizing matter into the
gullies and streams. Where the surplus
rain that falls upon the ground can be
led off from the surface in the same
clear state in which it descended from
tho clouds, the soil receives no injury
from its escape, but it is only under
occasional peculiar conditions that this
will occur.
This is so well understood by most
cultivators that other methods have
come into use. One, formerly more
common that at present, was to throw
the wet land into high and wide ridges
in the fall and leave it in that condition
until spring. When cultivation is about
to begin these ridges are further widened
and flattened out, affording a series of
rather wide spaces, much better fitted
for cultivation, but with very undesirable
ditches between them, often holding
stagnant water throughout the entire
season. While such a practice will not
draw fertility away from the soil, it con
signs a considerable portion of it.to non-
U9age and is otherwise objectionable in
many respects.
The only real and prr< ti :il method of
improving wet farm lanci* uy which their
condition is permanently changed for
the better is by the use of underground
drains for which tile is the most common
and best material. Where these are
placed at proper depths, say from three
to four feet, aud suitable distances
apart, varying greatly according to the
compactness of the soil to be drained,
and With a slight fall towards their out*
lets, whatever elements of fertility the
surface water may contain will be
strained out within reach of the roots of
plants in its descent towards the drains.
Furthermore, the upper line of the
ground water sinks below the level of
the drains, and the benefit ot this form
of drainage is realized by the soil above
them becoming favorably changed in
its general character and earlier and
better fitted for crops.—New Tork
World.
IMPROVED METHOD OF KILLING HOGS.
1 here is no necessity to have a crowd
of men about) to kill find dress A few
hogs; There is no reason Why a farmer
with his dozen pigs may not make use of
the same mechanical appliances that are
used by the great slaughterers. Of course
it is not suggested that he should have
any costly apparatus, but there are some
readily made devices by which one man
may do as much as three or four, and,
with one helper, the dozen pigs may be
made into finished pork between break
fast and dinner, and without any excite
ment or worry or hard work.
It is supposed that the pigs are in a
pen or pens, where they may be easily
roped by a noose around one hind leg.
This being done the animal is led to the
door and guided into a box, having A
slide door to shut it in> The bottom of
the bofc is a hinged lid. As soon as the
pig is safely ni the box and shut id by
sliding down the back door, and fasten
ing it by a hook, the box is turned over,
bringing the pig on his back. The bot
tom of the box is opened immediately,
and one seizes a hind toot, to hoid the
animal, while the other sticks the pig in
the usual manner. The box is turned
and lifted off Irom the pig, which, still
held by the rope, is guided to the dress
ing benca. All this is done while the
previous pig is being scalded and dressed,
or at such a part of the work that as
soon as one pig is hung and cleaned, the
next one is ready for the scalding.
The scalding vat is a wooden box with
a sheet iron bottom, EO that a small fire
may be kept under it to maintain the
proper heat of the water. This is 180
degrees Fah. or eighty-two degrees 0.
Or the vat may be replenished with hot
water from an adjacent boiler. This vat
is placed close against the dressing tabic,
so the carcass may be rolled onto a bar
rel table that is immersed in tho hot
water the full depth. This barrel table
may be made in various ways. It may
consist of slats, fastened at each end,
and the middle to chains, by strong sta
ples, so that it is pliable, and the hog
may be embraced by it and easily turned
out of the water by two short rope han
dles, or one attached to a pulley block
on a bar over it.
As the carcass is dressed it is lifted by
a hook at the end of a swivel lever
mounted on a post and swung around to
the hanging bar, placed convenietly.
This bar has sliding hooks, made to re
ceive tho gambrel sticks which have a
hook permanently attached to each so
that the carcass is quickly removed from
the swivel lever to the slide hook on the
bar. The upper edge of the bar is
rounded and smoothed and greased to
help the hooks to slide on it. This serves
to hang all the pigs on the bar until they
are cooled. If four persons are employed,
thig work may goon vory quickly, as
j they may divide the work between them,
aud one pig be scalding and cleaning
j while anotner is being dressed. The en
trals should be dropped into a wheel
barrow, as they are taken from the
animal.
Where ten or twelve pigs are dressed
every year it will pay to have a suitablo
building arranged for it. An excellent
place may be made in the driveway be
tween a double corncrib, or in a wagon
shed or an annex to the barn where the
feeding pen is placed. The building
should have a stationary boiler in it, and
such apparatus as has been suggested,
aud a windlass used to do the lifting.—
American Agriculturalist.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTEB.
The way to spoil a hog is to overfeed
nim with corn.
Cook the small potatoes and feed them
to the poultry.
Allow at least one foot square to each
fowl on the roosts.
The way to spoil a cow is to pound
her with the milking stool.
T. H. Hoskins says that all the Rus
sian apples do finely in Vermont.
Contentment, rest and plenty of proper
food arc the best aids in fattening fowls.
The way to spoil a driving horse is to
cut him with the whip when he does not
expect it.
When it is an item to have the eggs
hatch use a rooster that is not too fat or
too heavy.
The fattening of poultry should al
ways be done as rapidly as possible to
save time and expense.
A good work can be done in keeping
down the lice in the poultry-house if
care is taken to whitewash the inside
regularly every month or six weeks.
With good land the average farmer
succeeds very well in growing crops and
at moderate cost. But how to keep his
land good at least cost is the matter
wherein he fails.
The Farm Journal suggests that it is
a good time to make those high bushel
boxes that crate up one above another
and are so handy in field and cellar at
root harvest. They come in right for
apples aud for retail marketing.
Fruit, shade and evergreen trees
standing in graM ground tbould have
the grass removed ana a mound of fresh
earth the size of a water pail placed
above the tree. This needs to be done
evtry fall and removed in the spring.
A. W. Cheever, in tne New England
Farmer, says; "The Baldwin is specially
superior as a market apple, because it
comes into bearing early, is a great
bearer and the fruit suits tho market,
bcth here and abroad. The Northern
Spy may be the next choice, but it ao
the grower must expect to wait a long
time for his returns, a 4 it comes into
bearing late, several years behind the
Baldwin.' 1

POTATO BREAD.
There are many persons who are very
fond of bread made with potatoes, but
very few people seem to have the knack
of making it.
It is very simple, once one gets the
hang of it, so to speak, and the result
is a loaf which will keep fresh much
longer than any ordinary bread.
For four regular sited loaves of bread
take about eight of ten large potatoes,
peel them very carefully so as to leave
spots or eyes, put them in water sufficient
to cover them, with a little salt and boil
them until they begin to break up. Then
with a potato-masher crush them, water
and all, as fine as possible. They should
then be passed thiough a sieve and
added to a sponge which has meanwhile
been rising. Mix this potato pulp and
the bread dough thoroughly, set aside
to rise for a short time, then mold dad
putin pans.
The flavor, fineness of grain and
general quality of bread are greatly im
proved by this addition, and while it in
volves quite a little additional work, it
is work that pays very well. Tho bread
will remain fresh much longer and not a
Crumb need be wasted;
It must be borne id mind, however,
that it is much more likely to mold, if
exposed to dampness, after the addition
of potato, and must be carefully watched,
as even the slightest symptom of mold
in potato bread makes it unfit to eat.—
New York Ledger.
CURB FOR SCALDS AND BURNS.
No accident occurs more frequently in
most families than that of scalding or
burning. For an accident of this kind
a good reliable domestic remedy is
needed, that may be used immediately
before a physician arrives. This remedy
I have found in so simple a preparation
as nlum curd. To make it, take a gill
or more of sweet milk, put it in a tin
vessel and place it on the stove to warm.
Add to the milk a lump of alum about
the si2e of a thimble, or larger, accord
ing to the quantity of milk. Stir the
alum about till the milk curdles. Skim
out the curd aud apply it to thd wound
on a soft cloth. The curd will stop the
pain almost instantly. Dress tho wound
at least twice a day, wetting the cloths in
the meantime with the whey as often as
they become dry. Make fresh alum
curd daily and continue to dress the
wound till it is completely healed.
The remedy Ims been successfully used
in my own family and by my neighbars
for several years. It has cured several
cases of severe scalds and burns, healing
the wounds without leaving a scar,
which is an important matter. For all
the numerous little burns frequently oc
curing in a family of children, tho alum
curd is a panacea, giving immediate
comfort. As compared with carron oil>
collodion, soda, starcli-paste, flour-batter
and many other salves, ointments and
liniments usod as dressings for burns
throughout tho country, the alum curd
is by lar the best remedy. A lump of
alum should be kept in every family
medicine closet ready for use whenever
accidents occur by burning or scalding,
thus saving much pain and many a de
formed hand or scared face so common
in country places.—American Agricul
turist.

How He Flalshed His Declamation.
An Amherat gradu«*» a night or two
ago, in a reminiscent mood related the
following story of school days to some
frlenda:
•'Good old Doctor B. had the some
what discouraging task of training us to
become the country's future orators.
We alwaya oalled him 'Prexy Rhotori
cals.' He was an eccentric old fellow,
and had a habit of cutting our weekly
declamations short that be might go
home early ill the afternoon. We nerer
could know When one of ds might be eut
off in the most eloquent part of some
stirring bit of oratory with the stereo
typed remark—-'Vory well done, nextl '
"Tom Cotting was the most promising
member of the class for the oratorical
laureateship. One afternoon when
'Prexy' was in a greater hurry than ever
to finish declamations, Tom held us
spellbound by a masterly rendering of
the speech of 'Spartacus to the Gladia
tors.' Just as he was launching out his
defiance of the Roman tyrants 'Prexy'
cut him off in the usual way.
•'Tom, the next week, when his turn
came, mounted the platform, and making
a most profound bow carelessly re
marked 1
" 'As I Was saying last week when I
Was interrupted, after Spartacus,' and
then be launched into the reamnder of
the speech. 'Prexy' was speechless,
and that afternoon and for several after
ward the boys were allowed to finish
their pieces without interruption.''—
