Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. ; Cradles of the Quirinal. There is no prospect that the daughter born to the King and Queen of Italy a few days ago will be with- out a resting place, for the royal palace is stocked with cradles, most of them presents when the crown price was born. Seventeen of them came from different parts of the world, one from Italians resident in New York and another from the Ar- gentine, embroidered in Indian style with colored grasses. In addition there is a sumptuous cradle presented to the queen when little Princess Yolande was born. The base is of bronze, delicately chiseled, and under the arch Romulus and Remus play with the traditional wolf. Above stands an angel holding a laurel wreath. The cradle is of solid sil- ver, surrounded with shields of all the districts of Rome. Power of Gasoline.

SUFFERED TWENTY-FIVE YEARS With Eczema—Her Limb Peeled and Foot Was Raw—Thought Amputa- tion Necessary—Believes Her Life Saved by Cuticura. “] have been treated by doctors for twenty-five years for a bad case of eczema ‘on my leg. They did their best, but failed to cure it. My doctor had advised me to have my leg cut off. At this time my leg was peeled from the knee, my foot was like a piece of raw flesh, and I had to walk on crutches. I bought a set of Cuti- cura Remedies. After the first two treat- ments the swelling went down, and in two months my leg was cured and the new skin came on.” The doctor -was surprised and said that he would use Cuticura for his own patients. I have now been cured over seven years, and but for the Cuticura Rem- edies I might have lost my life. Mrs. J. B.

When Nurse Crop is Cut. fhe critical time in the growth of the clover plant, if a nurse crop is uped, is the time at which that nurse orop is removed. Many farmers have a good catch at that time. But when they remove the nurse crop the clover dies. That being true, if we can grow the clover so as to avoid the haze ards of removing the nurse crop, or if we can have the clover in a condition, at the time the nurse crop is removed, so that it will not die, we have saved a great portion of it that otherwise would have died.—Indiana Farmer. The Ram. ; A shepherd who has been most suc- cessful gives some advice which is well worth repeating: “In starting a flock of sheep, I think in the ram we should lock for com- formation rather than size. A ram ghould be close to the ground, square as a block and strong in bone. He should have a well-shaped head and a clean-cut all round make-up. 1 also think a ram bought at $25 = that is worth $25, is cheaper than one bought for $500. None but a pure bred should be used. I not believe in using lambs for breeding if it can be avoid- ed; would prdefer one-year-olds to four. There shonld be at least one ram to every forty ewes.”—Farmers’ Home Journal. do Horse Technicalities. These are horse technicalities that ought to be better known: A white spot on the forehead is a “star.” A white face from eye to eye is a “bald face.” A white eye is a ‘‘glass eye.” A horse has pasterns, not ankles. There is no such point as & hind knee or fore shoulder. White around the top of the hoof is a “white coronet.” White above the pasterns is a ‘““white leg.” “Amble” is a gait like pacing, but slower, in which the two legs on the same side are moved together. The “croup” is that part of the horse back of the saddle; the ‘forearm’ is that part of the lez between the elbow and the knee; and the ‘‘elbow” is the joint of the foreleg next the knee. When a horse “forgets” it strikes the toe of the fore foot with the toe of the hind one; and this last is often the result of bad shoeing. Everyone should know that a “hand” a term commonly used in describing the height of a horse, is one-third of a foot, or four inches.—Farm Jour- nal. Salting Butter. The amount of salt to be incorporat- ed in the butter depends directly on the amount of moisture the butter con- tains. Butter fat is not a salt dis- solving substance. This can be done only by the moisture in the butter. The first thing, then, to get a uniform amount of dissolved salt in butter is to get a uniform amount of moisture. The water should be evenly distrib- uted through the mass of butter. If it is present in pockets or crevices in the butter when the salt is ‘added, much salt will be lost in the. form of brine, besides those particles of but- ter near the pockets will contain more salt than those farther away. Best results are obtained by allow- ing the butter to drain well after washing and then apply the salt. In no case should salt be added till the butter has assumed a gathered condi- tion. When the butter is medium soft af- ter being worked, it has been found that from three-fourths to an ounce of salt for each pound of butter is not far from the correct amount.—JIowa Experiment Station. Feeding for Bacon. The demand for bacon has increased much in the past few years that it has been found necessary in some sections to feed so as to produce the streaw-of-lean bacon quality hogs which command an extra price. Ta produce this extra quality of bacon hogs are fed one of the following daily rations per head: 5 Two parts of shorts, two parts of ground barley, one part of corn meal and skim milk; or two parts of ground barley, one part shorts, one part of ground rye and skim milk; two parts of ground barley, one part of ground rye; one part of wheat bran, one part ground rye and skim milk; or two parts of ground barley, one part oats, one part corn meal and skim milk. Corn meal is fed with care, espec- ially during warm weather; when fed in small quantities with barley, shorts, oats and bran, combined with a liberal allowance of skim milk, there are no bad results. Some good feeders ise corn meal to the extent of one-half "or one-third of the grain ration dur- ing the first three or four months, and then omit it and finish with oats or similar feed. 2 Feeders are sometimes compelled to use corn on account of the low price about one-third of the i of bacon. Ground rye to the extent of ration gives good results, but rye shorts are not satisfactory and are only used in small quantities. The best feeds are only used in small quantities. The best feeds are ground barley, crushed oats and wheat sorts. Roots are fed dur- ing winter and soiling crops during midsummer.—Indiana Farmer. Concrete on Wood. Have any of your contributors had experience in laying cement on a plank floor? If so, advice on the same would be greatly appreciated. H. C. S. Cement or concrete may be laid on a plank floor as well as on the ground if the floor has sufficient rigidity so that sufficient springing to crack the concrete does not take place. The thickness of the concrete should not be less than two and a half to three inches, the latter thickness being the safer to adopt. If such a thickness would raise the floor more than is desired, it is customary to take off the floor proper and make a false floor 1 carried by supports nailed to the joists at a sufficient level below the top of the joists to permit of the proper thickness of cement being laid. To avoid cracking over the joists, the upper edges of the joists have their corners cut away to a narrow edge along the center of the joist. Then the finished surface of the cement floor should be at least :an inch and a half above the level of the sharpened edge of the joist. If it is important that the floor be water-tight, or reasonably so, the clean, sharp sand and cement to be used with the crushed rock or gravel should be at least as rich as one ofcementtotwoor xz shr s etasetaoin of cement to two of sand. There will then be no leaking if water does not stand continuously on the floor, unless cracks form in the concrete. It is practically very difficult to lay a mon- olithic floor of any considerable dimen- sions without expansion and contrac- tion-cracks forming in it; such cracks however, are not usually wide, but plainly visible, and, if much water oc- curs on the floor and absolute dryness is necessary below, a water-proofing surface should be provided before the cement is laid. Not knowing the use to which our correspondent’s floor is to be put, it'is not practicable in a short note to answer him specifically. —~Country Gentleman. Farm Notes. The dairy bull should be fed like a working horse and should receive plen- ty of exercise. Work him in a tread power. Barrenness, sterility, or failure to breed in cows and heifers, is due eith- er to imperfect, unnatural, or diseased genital organs. Keep a record of the breeding of each cow, so you will know when she is due to calve, and then allow her to go dry six weeks before calving. However anxious to increase ‘the size of the flock, too many eggs should not be placed under the hens when setting. From twelve to fifteen is a good num- ber. A good time to do: your dehorning is when the calves are a few days old. Mark them with an aluminum ear mark so you can keep a record of them. All poultry not to be carried over should be sold as soon as possible. It saves feed and work. Not only so, but the best prices are secured for the early birds. Before introducing any new cows into the stable, have them tuberculin tested to avoid bringing any cows af- fected with this disease into» your nealthy herd. There is no better way to give fowls charcoal than to burn corn on the cob, and shell ‘it to: them. They eat: it greedily and soon show red combs and other indications of improved condi- tion. The hens should have wheat, corn, oats and barley in their litter. The essentials are comfortable quarters and a variety of foods. If these are sup- plied and the roosting places kept clean, there is not much danger of dis- ease, Signs of Long Life. “In the mediedl world,” said a well known veteran doctor of Tioga yester- day, “it is a gemerally accepted fact that every person bears physical indi- cations of his prospects of a long or short life. A long-lived person may be distinguished from a short-lived per- son at sight. In many instances a"phy- sician may look at the hand of a pa- tient and tell whether he or she will live or not. The primary conditions of longevity are that the heart, lungs and digestive organs as well as the brain should be large. If these organs are large the trunk will be long and the limbs comparatively short. The per- son will appear tall in sitting and short in standing. The hand will have a long and somewhat heavy palm and short fingers. The brain will be deep- ly seated, as shown by the orifice of the ear being low. The blue or brown hazel eye, as showing an intermission of temperament, is a favorable indi- cation. The nostrils, if large, open and free, indicate large lungs. A pinched and half-closed nostril indicates small or weak lungs. These are generous points of distinction but, of course, subject to the usual individual excep- tions.”—Philadelphia Record.

More than half the members of the new Congress have shown their disapproval of the time honored costume by appearing on the floor of the House in the regulation business suit of tweed. Red and lav- ender neckties can poll a larger vote than the somber black string tie, and old members loyal to the rrock coat and its accessories, are ional tan shoes. These sartorial belligerents declare that he revolt against the unwritten law concerning the frock coat habit is chiefly in the interests of comfort. Whether the regulation statesman’s garb would be a matter of pride with them in questioning whether they would appear to better personal advantage in solemn black or most becoming blue, they insist, is a mat- ter of secomdary consideration. Fear expressed by members of the House for the doom of the frock coat has already disturbed the equa- nimity of the Senate by the appear- this. black coated Star. ranks of Washington A Neighbor of Bad Repute.

It habitually digs a deep bur- row for a home, but may take pos- session of a wovdchuck's hole, a cave, hollow stump or stone wall, and of- ten seeks a lodging beneath a house or barn, making its presence known sooner or later during the winter by a stench that compels the landlord to evict the intruder straightway.— Ernest Ingersoll. body.— Explosions In Sewers. people who are occasionally by seeing a manhole cover from the pavement generally ascribe the blame to leaking gas mains. But there are probably many other sources from which dangerous gasses find their way into sewers, and one of these is indicated by an investigation recently reported - to the American Chemical Society by Prof. A. A. Breneman. He showed that the entrance of a mixture of gasoline and soap into drains and sewers from garages, factories, and other places where such materials are employed for washing, is suffi- cient to account for the liberation of much combustible vapor, which may play a part in sewer explosions.— Philadelphia Record.
