VVliat'» a Bump?
In our peculiar vernacular, wftaay a bump
ou n log and a bump on a human bolng.
What one might call a bump another ono
would call n thump. Thus wo have a bump
from a thump and a thump from a bump.
In llkn maimer, a brulso may eauso a bump,
and u bump may cause a bruise. or perhaps
11 thump may cause both. Well, what's tho
difference, to long <l3 wo suffer from either

That's true, and tho surest, quickest way to

PLOWING A WET MEADOW.
After draining a swamp, the surface
Boon becomes solid enough for horses
to work on it, or cattle to feed on it.
In breaking up such a land it would
bo advisablo to use oxen at first, as
their feet p.re broader and do not sink
in soft soil us those of horses do. It
must bo u very soft soil that will not
permit of plowing, or at least good
harrowing; then the lund may be
sown with redtop grass und alsike
clover, giving it a liberal dressing of
plaster to help the growth of grass.
Or, if it con bo done, a dressing of air
slacked lime will doubtless be moro
eflective. This grass soon forms a
tough sod that will easily bear up a
team of horses, for mowing and get
ting the hay. With the redtop, ioufr
pounds of timothy may bo sown totlito

is the proper quantity tor an acre, —•

SELECTING SEED CORN.
A groat many farmors who regard
themselves as quite careful m tho se
lectionjof seed content themselves with
makiug the selection at husking timo
or from the crib, being guided by the
rppearance of the ear. This is not
sufficient, however, to secure the best
results. Professor 11. J. Waters, Dean
of the Missouri Agricultural Oolldgo,
narrates a direct experiment on this
point. The field was gone through
and line ears were selected from the
large, thrifty stalks having au abun
dant leaf growth. Another lot of ears,
equal in size, was gathered from stalks
smaller and less thrifty. After the
seed had been gathered, the one lot
could not bo distinguished from the
other so far as the appearance of tho
ears went. Tho only difference was in
the kind of stalk that produced tho
ears. A lield was planted with theso
two lots of seed. All through the sea
son that portion which had been grown
from seed taken from tho thrifty stalks
could be distinguished from the plant
ing made from tho seed taken from
the less thrifty stalks. At harvest
time the difference in favor of tho seed
from the large, thrifty stalks with
plenty of leaf growth was seven bushels
per acre, and Professor Waters thinks
that if this process of selection was
carried on for a series of years a vari
ety of corn oould be considerably im
proved on the one hand, or almost en
tirely run out on the other. It fol
lows, therefore, that tho selection of
seed enrs from tho same crib, being
guided by size andgeneral appearance
of the ear simply, in not suffloient, and
that it is quite as important to know
the kind of stalk that produced the
seed ear as it is to know that the ear
itself has the size, form, etc., which
suit Ithe purposes of the farmer.—
Western Farm Journal.
NO MISTAKE IN PLANTING FRUIT TREES
The fact is wo expect too much from
old orchards. They have already paid
for themselves, mjiny times over, end
have outlived their usefulness. Still
thoy are permitted to occupy valuable
ground, and besides yielding nothing,
are an eyesore, greatly detractiug
from tiio natural beauty of a place.
During the winter months these unin
teresting and unprofitable objeots
should be removed and cut up into
firewood. In spring, new orchards
should bo planted on well-prepared
ground, under-drained and eubsoiled.
Notwithstanding tho prevailing low
prices, no mistake can be made in
planting fruit trees. The rich lands
which are at our disposal, and the re
markably favorable climate which we
are blessed with should be taken ad
vantage of. There is a question as to
the advisability of spending labor and
money on tomo kinds of crops, but
tho fruit-grower can, if he will, con
tinue to make an honest and good liv
ing at this pursuit for years to come.
The trees we plant live to bless the
world and eurieh , the inheritance of
our childrcu long after we are laid
beneath them; and with the return of
each successive season, to shed their
fragraneo on the air and crowa with
golden fruits tho harvest of the year.
I have the pleasure and gratification
oi stating that the insect pests and
fungous diseases which a few years
ago threatened the entire destruction
of orchards aud vineyards, have been
so controlled by romedies and pre
ventatives that no great injury need
be feared in the future, so long as or
dinary care and diligence are exer
cised by the orchardist. It is true
that the beneficial effects resulting
from spraying cannot be fully esti
mated until the treatment is more gen
eral, yet enough has been learned to
sutisfy the most incredulous that
spraying is a euccosp, if not an abso
lute necessity. Through the efforts
of tho Department of Agriculture
great progress has been made in Cali
fornia in oheckiug tho ravages of in
jurious insects by introducing para
sites, and the result is so satisfactory
that the fruit-growers there believe it
to lie possible to overcome every in
sect pest by means of its natural para
site. —President W. 0- Barry, before
the Western New York Horticultural
Society.
WINTER MOTECTION OF LIVE STCOOK.
A common winter sight is a herd of
cattle exposed to severest kind of
weather browsing in cornfields or
standing humped up in chilling
winds.
Food is fuel to the animal body. It
requires more iuel to keep up steam
in a boiler, when the weather is in
tensely cold, than it does when it is
mild. In the same manner, other
things being equal, it requires more
food to sustain an animal freely ex
posed to the chilling blasts of win
ter, than it does for one given protec
tion.
In experiments conducted at the In
diana Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion, milch cows exposed to all sorts
of weather in winter, but provided
with night shelter, made a very un
favorable showing as compared with
those given the shelter of the stable,
excepting for a brief airing when the
weather was suitable. The exposed
cows ate the most food, lost slightly
weight and also in milk yield. The
sheltered ones gained in weight and
otherwise made a better showing than
the exposed lot.
At the Kansas Experiment Station
hogs kept in conditions of winter ex
posure did not produco pork so econo
mically as those given reasonable
shelter, although the same kind of
food was fed to each lot. In report
ing the feeding experiments with
steers at the same station, Professor
Georgoeon says that steers to give the
best returns whon being fod for beef
should be provided with shelter.
Warm, low, open sheds in the feed lot
give? comfortable shelter to steers.
While live HioOk shsVtlH uG protected
from the inclemenoy of the weather,
it is important that the stable should
be well ventilated and not too warm.
Disease propagates easiest where tho
air is stagnant and impure, hence
special efforts should be made to keep
the stablo air pure. Without doubt,
tuberculosis is more provalent among
cattle olosely confined in stables where
tho veutilation is bad than it is where
tho air is good. Live stook should
oertainly be allowed outdoor exerciso
when the weather is mild and com
fortable, but if it snows or rains and
the air is ohilling, the animals should
be given stable protection.
It is also important that the stablo
should not be too warm in winter. A
temperature of 40 degrees is a very
satisfactory one. When it is as high
as 60 degrees'm the barn, stock turned
from this into a freezing atmosphere
to water are very apt to be severely
chilled and take cold. When the
stable is at 40 degrees animals are not
so easily chilled when turned from the
stable. Every stable should havo a
thermometer to guide one in keeping
the temperaturo of the room as uni
form as possible.—C. S. Plumb, Direc
tor of the Indiana Exueriment Station.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTE 3.
He who would enjoy the fruit musi
plant the tree.
Berries cannot bo grown and mar
keted as easily as wheat, corn and
potatoes.
Tho growers of berries fcyr market
should realize that ordinary farm
methods are not sufficient.
Berry growing, like market garden
ing, requires the greatest concentra
tion of good soil, labor and thought.
Tho way to get peaches is to plant
peach pits and keep plantiug. Seed
ling peaches can be grown in sheltered
places on almost any farm.
Every farmer who has an orchard of
any sizo should also own a small hand
press. It will save a trip to tho large
press quite frequently, savo cash and
enable the owner to work ap the crop
at odd times.
Strainjng the croam just beforo
churning should be regarded as a ne
cessary precaution, for if there is auy
dirt in cream it will become incorpor
ated with the butter instead of passing
off in the buttermilk.
Cows must have exercise in winter.
The habit of keeping milch cow« tied
up all the time, even watering them
in their stalls, together with bad air
and laok of sunshine, is responsible
for much tuberculosis.
More bees are being lost on account
of bad food, or none at all, than from
all other causes combined, especially
in winter; tor there is no factor so
important as the matter of food, and
it is one ofton neglected.
A little attention each year greatly
improves tho appearance of the or
ohard, and the work can bo done with
a greater economy in this way than by
permitting it to accumulate for several
years and then doing it all at onoe.
At a dairy in Berlin, famous for tho
purity of its milk, tho milk is strained
through a wire sieve with a cloth, on
which rests a deep layer of fine sand.
Before tho sieve is again used, tho
sand is putin a hot oven to destroy
any possible germs.
What farmers are looking for to-day
is something that will yield an income
outside of their farms. Bees would
make quite an addition to the income
of tho farmer, and this would bo re
ceived from what is going to waste
every year.
For nursery stock and fruit trees on
good land, woo l ashes have boon
found much superior to barnyard ma
nure. An orchardist soattered a largo
amount of ashes over a piece of land
mauy years ago, and it still retains tho
vigor imparted.
A little common soda should he
added to the skim milk before feeding
the calves. It is claimed itlmt soda
prevents the formation of the rubber
like eiml in the stomach that is so of
ten found on examination of calvtfs
that have died of the droaded calf dis
ease.
A possible way to test butter is to
get a clean piece of white poper,,
smear it with the suspected article and
set it on fire. If tho butter is good,
tho smell of the burniug will bo de
cidedly pleasant; but if thero is arti
ficial animal fat in the composition,
there is no mistake in the tallowy
odor.
It is always advisable to make a
change of feed occasionally for the
cow in winter. It givos her increased
appetite. If you feed twioe a day,
stop it; bat if you bouse your oows
on stormy days, in place of letting
them run in a stalk field, then give
something to eat at neon. Above all
be regular in ft# ling.

WARNING ABOUT CANNED (300DS.
In buying tin canned vegetables or
frnits those only should be selected
th%t have a slight depression in the
end of the can. This by experts is ac
cepted as proof that tho contents of
the can are in a proper condition. If
the end of the can is raided or bulged,
reject it, us that is a proof that the
contents of the can were not heated
sufficiently at the time of sealing, or
that in the past or present they have
fermented. If cans are ordered by the
dozen, tho member of the household
who inspects tho supplies should re
turn all cans having such an appear
ance. Lead poisoning is not to be
feared from good brands of tinned
goods if the contents of the cans are
emptied as soon as opened into earth
enware or glass. When glass jars are
used, keep tho fruit or vegetables in
them from contact with tho rubber
band. Though thoro is little danger
from their contact, there have, it is
said, been a few cases in which pois
oning is thought to have been caused
by chemical changes in tho rubber
when in touoh with acid.—New York

IIOW Jl A u l M L-v- l.
Wo givo the following recipe for
making that celebrated drink, koumiss,
as prepared by Mrs. Itorer:
When ico is procurable, nothing is
simpler than to prepare koumiss at
home, and the homo made product is
better than that which is bought, as
its age may bo known for a surety.
Tho materials for five pint bottles of
koumiss are: Two quarts of new millt,
two tablespoonfuls of water, one-third
of a compressed yeast cako. Make
the milk blood warm, or about ninety
eight degrees, perhaps, by placing it
over tho tire in a farina boiler. Dis
solve tho Bucrar in two tablospoonfuls
of water, boiling it until u clear sirup.
Add the sirup to the milk and yeast,
and stir until completely blended,
then put it at once into the bottles,
tilling them about to the necks. Cork
firmly, and tio tho corks down. Allow
tho koumiss to stand in a comfortable
temporature, near sixty-eight degrees,
for twelve hours. Then lay tho bottles
carefully on tboir sides on ice for
twelve hours moro, when tho koumiss
will bo rea ly for use. It is now twenty
four hours old; whon sixty hours old
it does not agree so well with n weak
stomach, but koeps usually seventy
two hours. When too old, that is, if
beginning to sour, willourdlo. When
just right it is creamy and foamy.
From one-half to ono glassful may bo
given at intervals of two to four hours.
—American Farmer.
HorSEHOLD HINTS.
Tho torn pages of a book may bo
nicely mended with white tissue paper.
Woolen underwear is cheaper than
illness and inauy times more agree
able.
If tho cover of a fruit jar will not
readily conio off, invert it and put tho
top in hot water for a minute or two.
A flat tea-kettle, wide and shallow,
in which water can bo hurriedly
boiled, is a convenience which no
housekeeper should be without.
Boots and shoes that havo been har
dened by water may bo mado as soft
and pliable as when now by thorough
ly rubbing them with kerosene.
A covering for the kitchen floor
which is easily kept in order is oil
cloth, wrong side up, painted with
two coats of pnint, tho last coat be
ing mixed with varnish.
Applo sauco should always be eaton
with loast pork, goose, sausages and
ail rich dishes, as the malic acid neu
tralizes any oxcoss of chalky matter
engendered by eating too much meat.
If tho fishy tftsto in wild gamo is
objectionable, it may bo removed by
putting a small onion, cut lino, into
tho water in which it is cooked. Car
rots may be ttsod if onions ure dis
liked.
Do not allow n cold to gain a foot
hold when it may bo warded off by
drinking]a hot lomonade. The easiest
way to preparo it is to squeeze tho
juice of a lemou into a cup, sweeten
to taste, then fill the cup with hot
water and take just boforo going to
bed.
A teaspoonful of borax putin tho
last water in which clothes are rinsed
will whiten them surprisingly. Pound
tho borax so that it will dissolve easi
ly. This is especially good to re
move the yellow that time gives to
white garments that have been laid
aside for two or three year- 1 .
A clever housekeeper avoids long
exposure to cold on wash-days in this
wuy: Upon a long strip ol heavy
cotton she spreads all the handker
cherbiefs, collars, culls, napkins and
other small pieces, whioh are fastened
to it with common pins. Then it is
folded together and it is only a min
utes's work to attach it to the clothes
line with pins. This plan saves worfc
in hangiug up and taking down small
articles, and thoy dry better and clean
er than if clothaspins are used.

Mm have gone into it. You can't get good bread out of (Hp
poor four.
tjjjP Moral: You can't get the best.out of anything, unless \M>)
JpS&l the best is in it; and the best ha 9to be put in before it
v!!|P can be taken out. Now, we have a rule to test those yjgl'
||§|| sarsaparillas with a big "best" on the bottle. "Tell us ||||
what's putin you and we'll decide for ourselves about
the best." That's fair. But these modest sarsaparillas o|p
say: " Oh! we can't tell. It's a secret. Have faith in
(||p the label." .. . Stop! There's one exception; one sar- \-0J)
saparilla that has no secret to hide. It's Ayer's. If you
\|gp want to know what goes into Ayer's Sarsaparilla, ask
/gijSsi your doctor to write for the formula. Then you can
%§/ satisfy yourself that you get the best of tll2 sarsaparilla
argument when you get Ayer's.
