HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
Dry Earth as nn Absorbent.
If one will observe when the cows
chooo to lie down In the yard or pasture
It will be seen that they choose the bare
ground, rather than the Rod or bedding
of straw. The same is true of sheep.
We have taken this hint, and furnished
the cow-stables with dry earth bedding.
Leaves and straw are poor absorbents In
comparison. In the pig pens dry earth
has no equal. In very cold weather we
add straw or leaves, but uulil the weath
er Is very cold the animals will be more
comfortable with a bed of soil, or of soil
changed once a fortnight or week. In
the chicken house we have learned Its
real value as a deodorizer. Our roosts
are over a sloping floor, on which we
occasionally scatter dry earth. The
droppings roll down into a pile of dry
earth. This turned with a shovel each
week or oftener, and we can say the
chicken house Is free from offensive
odors, and bright combs and glossy
feathers tell of the health of fowls. Dry
earth is a good preventative, too, of ver
min on cattle, pigs, and poultry. It
must be procured at a dry time ; and
stored under sheds or in stables. It not
only promotes neatness and health, but
saves the very elements of the manure
which make them moBtj valuable and
most of which would fcvaporate if not
absorbed by the day earth. We do not
like it as a bedding In the horse stables,
but it should be found in every stable, to
sprinkle the floors with as soon as the
bedding is removed in the morning.
When removed from the stables, styes
and coops it should be kept under cover
for spring use, or for drilling with the
wheat in the fall.
How to Tell Good Butter.
The Illinois State Superintendent of
inspectors, of butter and cheese says;
" When butter is properly churned, both
as to time and temperature it becomes
firm with very little working, and is
tenacious ; but Its most desirale state is
that of waxy, when it Is easily moulded
into any shape, and may be drawn out a
considerable length without breaking.
It Is then styled gilt edged. It is only
in this state that butter possesses that
rich, nutty flavor and smell ; and shows
up a jich golden-yellow color, which
imparts so high a degree of pleasure in
eating it, and which increases its value
manifold. It is not always necessary
when it smells fresh and sweet to taste
butter in judging it. The smooth, unc
tlous feel in rubbing a little between the
finger and the thumb expresses at once
its rich quality, the nutty smell and rich
aroma indicate a similar taste ; and the
rich golden glistening cream-colored sur
face shows its high state of cleanliness.
It may be necessary at times to use the
trier, or even use it until you become an
expert in testing by taste, smell and
rubbing.
' Under no circumstances should
matches be allowed to "lie around loose"
on Mantleplece or shelf. What are
known as parlor matches light readily,
and are as much more dangerous than
the common matches as they are more
convenient. The general stock should
be kept in a tin box, which is not to be
opened or taken from except by the
master as mistress of the house. For
each room where matches are used there
should be a metal match safe of some
kind, and the matches are to be kept In
that and nowhere else.
0"A correspondent of the American
Poultry Yara bakes bones for his hens,
and then pounds them upon a rock in
his hennery. The hens cluster round
that primitive bone-mill, gulping down
the rich morsels of gelatine, fat, eet.,
with evident delight, and grow plump
and handsome on the diet, besides at
tending to their, proper business of egg
laying with unusual efficiency and con
tinuance. t-7 To revive old kid gloves, make a
thick mucilage by boiling a handful of
flax-seed ; add a little dissolved soap ;
then, when the mixture cools, with a
piece of white flannel wipe the gloves,
previously fitted to the band ; use only
enough to take off the dirt without wet
ting through the glove.
C3TLook out for lice on chickens or
turkeys as soon as they can run nicely.
If you don't you'll be sorry for it.
How Long Would It Take to Count Two Mil
lions? ,
Over two million volumes of the revis
ed edition of the New Testament, were
sold on the first day of its issue. These
figures can only be equaled by the enor
mous sale of 8 way ue's Ointment for
Itching Piles, which is universally used
as a standard remedy for stopping the
itching at night, when one thinks that
pin worms are crawling about the rec
tum. To calculate the extent of its sale
In actual figures, would Involve the labor
of a life-time. Will you be pestered
