How HAlr Pins are Made.
For .years tho English and French
controlled the manufacture of hair
piu«, and it is only within the last
twenty years that the goods have been
produced in this country to any ex
tent. The machinery used is of a deli
cate and intricate character, as the
prices at whioh the pins are sold
necessitate the cheapest and most
rapid process, which can only be pro
cured by automatic machines.
The wire is made expressly for the
purpose aud put up in largo coils,
which aro placed iu a clamp, which
carries it to the machine while
straightening it. From there it runs
into another machine, which cuts,
bends, and by a delicate and instan
taneous process sharpens the points.
Ri'.nning at full speed, those maohines
will turn out 120 hair pins ovcry min
ute. To economize it is necessary to
keep them running day and night.
The difficult part of the work is in
the enameling, which is done by dip
ping the pins in a preparation and
baking iu an oven. Here is where the
most constant aud careful attention is
required, as the pins must be perfect
ly smooth nud the enamel have a per
fect polish. Tho slightest particles of
dust cause imperfections and rough
ness, which is objectionable. Pitta

CKEAM THAT WILL NOT MAKE BUTTER.
It is often the caso that the cream
of the milk of a cow duo to calve it
two or three months will not make
butter, but foams in tho churn and
rapidly becomes very sour. Tho mills
of a cow undergoes a change nboul
this time, and some cows aro so af
fected that the cream will not yield
any butter. Every cow should be
dried off, if tho milk does not stop
naturally, two months beforo tho call
is due. At any rate, good butter can
pot be made from the milk so neai
calving. This condition of tho milk,
of course, is at once evident in a sin
glo cow, but doubtless there are cows
in herds in tho same condition, but
aro not detected. It shows how need
ful it is that a strict watch should be
kept on each of tho cows in a herd.—
New York Times.
SLOW OR FAST DRYING.
It makes a great difference in the
value of corn fodder whether it is cut
during warm, dry weather, when it
will cure rapidly, or later, when raine
and cold make it dry out more slowly.
All tho time it is moist some waste it
going on in tho nutritivo valuo of the
stalk. When the drying is hastened
tho waste is small; wlieu it is pro
tractod by rains, especially with warm
weather, tho wnsto is much greater.
It is not stopped entirely by cold
weather. As the moisture freezes out
of the stalks it is found that tho woody
fibro is increased and tho nutritive
valuo has decreased in liko proportion.
Every farmer knows that cornstalks
after repeated freezing and thawing
become of little value for feeding.
They aro dry, tasteless, and tho stock
will not eat them readily, as they do
tho partly-dried stalk at the begin
ning of winter. Much is said about
tho woste of nutrition by fermentation
in tho silo. There is such waste, but
it is trivial compared with the waste
of cornstalks by slow drying. The silo
makes tho nutrition more available by
partly couking the food.—Boston

COLIO IN HOUSES.
Irregular feeding in iho matter of
hours, long fasts and too great quan
tity given at long intervals are fre
quent causes of colic, says tho Now
York World. Irregular work is not
without its influence -a twenty-mile
journey onco a week is likely to be
productivo of more misohief than tho
same distance every day. A liorso put
to hard work at intervals cannot be
kept in condition. Horses ought to
bo fed late at night and early in the
morning; they should havo at least
two hours to consume and digest the
morning feed before being taken out
to work, and if not returned to tho
etable when the next feed is duo,
should bo provided with nose bags.
Changes of food should be intro
duced gradually. Horses may be fed
with impunity on what will makothem
seriously ill if care is not taken to
make tho change gradually. Thus,
green food, when it first comes in,
and is young and succulent, often
causes gripes, because fed too largelv
to tho exclusion of tho accustomed
dry material. If a small quantity is
cut with tho hay chaff to begin with,
the horse is less greedv about it when
a larger quantity is allowed, and the
digestivo organs as gradually becomo
accustomed to tho change. Attention
to the prevention of colic is much bet
ter than tho possession of a recipe for
its cure, for some day the recipe misses
fire, and death w:us the match. Apart
from this, an attack successfully dealt
with still means loss of service for
some time—very often at a busy
period.
FEEDING APPLES TO COWS.
There has long been a practical
opinion among farmers that while
sweet apples might be fed to cows
with satisfactory results, sour apples
were very injurious for them; but
this opinion has been founded upon
very slight actual knowledge of tho
real feeding value of apples. At the
Vermont station apple pomace, en
silaged, and used supplementary to
and in part as a substitute for corn
ensilage, was found to be relished by
oows, and the results of four tests
found it to be about equivalent in
feeding value to corn ensilage. At the
Massachusetts station Dr. Goessmann
found apples to contain about eighty
per oent. of moisture, the apples hav
ing been gathered Ootober 6th. The
farther advanoed apples are towards
maturity tlie more sugar is found in
them, and their value depends largely
upon the amount of dry matter which
they contain. Laboratory tests show
that the feeding value of apples is some
what higher than that of an equal
weight of turnips. Apple pomaco it
said to be equal to sugar beets, it be
ing a somewhat singular chemical fact
that tho pomace is rioher in nitrogen
ous matter tban the apple from whioh
it has been produced, and tho feed
ing value of pomace is assumed to
be, pound for pound, one-third high
er than that of the whole apple. Still
apples are deficient in nitrogen, and
ought on this account to be literally
supplemented for dairy cows with
wheat shorts, bran, oil cakes, clover
and good hay. To obtain the best re
sults fiom feeding them to cows, the
early sort should bo fed by itself,
sour ones in less quantity than sweet
ones, fed when fully ripe, after the
night's milking. The quantity should
not exoeed four to six quarts to a feed.
—American Agriculturist.
BYE AS A PASTURE CROP.
I have believed for twenty-five years
that most of us, in what is oalled "the
West," did not sufficiently appreciate
tho value of rye as a late fall an&carly
spring pasture crop, writes E. D.
Coburn in the Now York Tribune.
Where conditions are at all favorable
it furnishes an astonishing quantity of
rich, succulent grazing just at a time
of year when it is most relished and
most needed by all kinds of farm ani
mals, even including poultry. It
pieces out to great advantage other
feed that may be scant or poor, and
while especially agreeable to all the
stock, if will make poorly nourished
cows practically double their milk in
quantity and quality. In fact, I have
never seen a Kansas farmer so well
fixed that a good piece of rye pasture
wasn't a genuine bonanza to him.
Thero has never been a season in all
the central West when something of
that sort was more of a comfort to its
possessor than it will likely be within
the noxt nino months. Hence I would
say to every farmer who reads this,
do not fail to sow, and sow early (in
fact just as soon as the ground can be
putin proper condition), a goodly
area of ryo for pasture. Don't sow it
for grain, but for pasturage; mako
tho most of it for grazing, and if
eventually it also yields some grain
worth harvesting, well and good. If
you can't secure the seed readily, sow
wheat just as you would ryo; if It is
not a plump, high grado article, that
will cut but a small figuro if sound.
If of small or shrunken berry I would
not sow less than fivo pecks to the
acre; if plump a busbel and a half
would be none too much; at all events,
uso plenty, and don't bo afraid of
Laving too many acres. I haven't
discovered anything that was a hotter
regulator for tho pigs, tho colts, tho
calves, the cows or the old blind maro
than a good bito of green rye or wheat.
It is excellent in years of groatest
abundance; in years when other feed
is scarce or poor, it is simply indis
pensable—really a benefaction. Sow
it with a drill or broadcast as you
think best, but do a good job, as if
you desired success and meant to de
serve it.
FAITM AND GARDEN* NOTEP.
A littlo vaseline and carbolic acid

Producers who have formerly de
pended on cnsilago may bo obliged to
at least partially substituto grain to
make their winter dairying for 1894
and 1895 profitable.
Professor Roberts, of Cornell, says
the great difficulty with farming is too
much or too little moisture, and too
littlo cultivation, thus indicating the
necessity of drainage.
Before storing articles in the cellar
tako a day for the purpose, use a peck
or more of sulphur, if necessary, and
fumigato it two or three times, in order
to purify the walls, floors, ceilings
and bins.
A. W. Pope, Wellosley, Mass., says
of alfalfa: It goes down further and
comes up faster than common clover.
Tho quality of the hay is good, but it
is hard to cure. I get three crops
the year following the planting.
Foals should bo taught to eat grain
while yet with tho mares, and then tho
weaning process is not so likely to
check their growth. Feed any spare
milk to the weanings until they get
woll started on regular rations of grain
and hay.
Dairymen should wake up to tho fact
that it is quite as easy, at a well-man
aged creamery, to make good butter
in winter as in summer. When they
realize this we shall not seo so many
idlo establishments just at tho time
when they should be running at their
fullest capacity.
It is not only unprofitable but cruel
to let miloh cows wander about in
grassless fields under a merciless sun.
Under such conditions keop them in a
small, shady enclosure if you have
one, and there feed them their forago
and see that they have plenty of cool,
pure water at regular intervals.
Select a bull from a good dairy
family, and then breed tho very best
of your cows, feed the resulting young
sters well, and train them so that they
can bp easily handled when you aro
ready to put thom in the dairy. This
feeding and training is a necessary
supplement to tho breeding, in order
to make a perfeot dairy animal.
Cold weather shuts off the egg sup
ply among poultry keopers who do
not understand their business, and
then they cry that there is no profit in
fowls. But tho wise man makes his
houses warm and snug, feeds liberally
and a good variety of food, compels
the fowls to take exercise and reapeth
his reward in a bountiful harvest of
eggs whioh sell at good prices.
Perhaps you have your dairy up to
a certain standard of excellence, but
how aro you to keop it there? Some
of tho cows will soon bogin to get old.
Then they must goto tho butcher.
Better be raising and training some
good heifers, whose breeding you
know, to take their places. Do not
wait until you have to use them, and
then buy where it comes handy.
Do not be soared out of the poultry
business because people speak of it
contemptuously, calling it a "little
business." It cau be mado just as
large as your ability and adaptability
will justify. It iB more a question of
these elements than of capital. Tho
latter is good in its place, but it is not
the only requisite, and too much of it
has wrecked this business more than
onoe.

For a favorite Teutonio dish take
three pottnds of the best beef, or, for
a large company, four or six pounds.
Wash the meat and place it in a largo
jar or crook. Insert half a dozen
cloves. Lay on top a bay leaf and one
largo onion, thinly sliood. Pour over
the meat enough mild, boiling vinegar
to nearly cover it, and close the jar
with a plate.
Should the vinegar be very sharp,
water it, as tho taste of vinegar should
not be too strong. Tho boiling of tho
vinegar is necessary, tho albuminous
coating thus formed retaining the meat
juices.
In two days boil the vinogar again,
and again pour it over tho meat aud
cover, this timo turning the beef. In
from throe to five days it is ready for
use, aud should bo quite tender.
Though three days aro a long enough
time, five aro no injury.
Remove tho meat from tho jar and
wash it free of the onions. Then cut
pickled pork into very fine strips, as
thick as a lead penoil and about three
inches in length. With a sharp knife
make deep incisions thickly over tho
top of tho beef and thrust in tho bits
of pork. Turn and treat the other
side similarly. Tie into shapo with a
strong cord.
Place in a deep kettle a piece of
butter the sizo of an ogg, and when
hot putin the meat. In a moment's
time turn it and add enough boiling
woter to nearly cover it. Close tho
kettle tightly. Baste frequently with
its own liquors and cook with a good

Cold That Ban*.
Burning ia usually aMociated with
heat, and it seems a misnomer to speak
of cold burn*. Chemists tell us that
there is really no such thing as cold,
which is relative heat, and that the
lowest temperature yet registered is
some degrees above absolute cold.
At the last meeting of the Swiss So
ciety of Natural Sciences at Lausanne,
M. Baoul Pictet gave some particulars
concerning oold burns experienced by
himself and assistants during his in
vestigations of the lowest temperature
attainable. There are two degrees of
burns. In one case tbe skin reddens
at first and turns blue the following
day, and subsequently the area of the
spot expands until it becomes nearly
double its original dimensions. The
"burn," whioh is usually not healed
until five or six weeks after its occur
rence, is accompanied by a very pain
ful itching on the affected spot and
the surrounding tissues. When the
burning is more serious, produced by
longer contact with the cold body, a
burning of the second degree is ex
perienced. In this case the skin is
rapidly detached, and all parts reached
by the oold behave like foreign bod
ies. A long and stubborn suppura
tion sets in, which does not seem to
accelerate th° reconstitution of the
tissues. The wounds are malignant,
and scar very slowly in a manner en
tirely different from burns produced
bj fire.
On one occasion, when M. Piotet
was suffering from a severe burn due
to a drop of liquid air, he accidental
ly scorched the same hand very se
riously. The scorched portion was
healed in ten or twelve days, but the
wound produced by the cold burn was
open for upward of six months. In
order to try the effect of radiation in
dry cold air, M. Pictet held his bare
arm up to the elbow in a refrigerat
ing vessel maintained at 105 degrees,
when a sensation of a peculiarly dis
tinct character was felt over the whole
skin and throughout the muscles. At
first this sensation was not very disa
greeable, but gradually it became de
cidedly so, and after three or four
minutes the skin turned blue and the
paiu bocome more intense and d«op
seated. On withdrawing the arm from
the refrigerator at the end of ten
minutes a strong reaction was exper
ienced, accompanied by a superficial
inflammation of the skin.—Newcastle
Chronicle.
Making Matches of Paper.
Matches made from paper aro
novelties, but Brunswick, Ga., has a
factory in full operation that is daily
turning out numbers of them.
At present the factory is conducted
on a limited plan, and was commenced
merely as an experiment to see what
demand could be created for the new
product, but tho success that hag
greeted the experiment justifies its
continuance on a large seal?, and it is
expected that paper matches will soon
be turned out in mammoth propor
tions.
Rosenda Torras is the owner of the
new factory, and Senor Antonio Prat
is manager, Mr. Torras being conn
sel for a number of foreign countries,
a large lumber exporter, and a direc
tor in tho National bank, is sufficient
guarantee that the backing of the
concern is not limited, and if tho suc

is continued, it will not lack for capi

Cold Cures.
Many bad colds come from bad di
gestion. When the stomach is out of
order the body is liable to catch any
thing that is epidemic. Cold euros
and complexion remedies are twins in
therapeutics. One old prescription
still holds good : Qet into bed aud
stay there twenty-four hours; eat and
drink nothing, not even water; the
next day take an alcohol bath and rub
every part of the body red with a
coarse towel; swallow a mild laxative
and drink a bowl of hot milk or thin
gruel. This will cure a bad cold and a
bad face, if the patient takes no more
food for the day than is absolutely
necessary.—Home and Farm.

Corn 255 Itnshois to the Acre.
The largest crop of corn ever pro
duced on one acre, according to the
Charleston News and Courier, was that
raised by a furmer in Marlboro
County, South Carolina, in 1892. .A
prize of SIOOO waR ottered for the
largest yield on an acre, and this
farmer chose a piece of wornout piney
woods, sandy land, to which he ap
plied more than a thousand dollars'
worth of fertilizers. The season was
favorable and the cultivator was kept
going almost constantly. The stand
became so thick and heavily burdened
with ears that fences had to bo built
to sustain it. When the crop was
gathered it measured within a peck of
255 bushels, and carried off the prize,
which the farmer richly deserved, for
it takes a vailant man to spend more
than a thousand dollars to enrich a
single acre.
