quite different from that caused by
fermentation of the milk. Mildew, but
especially Ssu^tfeVrm^C the red spotted mildew col'at which
and appears in spots about the size of a
split pea. This is caused by the 1 m
pregnation of the cellar with spores of
the mildew, and is very dlllicult to get
rid of. The only way I have succeeded
in doing it is by burning sulphur in'the
cellar, which is kept tightly closed for a
considerable time until the walls are
saturated with it, and afterward by
keeping the air dry by means of a box it
of freshly-burned lime kept in
until it is air slaked. Keeping
the milk too long without
the skimming, until the whey without separates, churning. and
Thirty-six cream hours too long either,
which is long enough for old

when it is churned. Imperfect cleaning

nearly the whole of it. Sometimes the
addition of as much powdered saltpetre
as will lie on a silver three cent piece, or
about live grains to a six-quart pan of
milk, will prevent the bitterness, and to ,
give the cow a dose of two drams a day .
for a week will have the same effect. I ;
have found two grams of salicylate of
soda to four quarts of milk will prevent
mold even in a musty cellar. But 1 am

is obvious.
Plowlngqlu manure.
1 here wide difference of r • •
is a opinion
among farmers as to the best manuer of
applying nmiure to (lie soil. It ia per
haps unwise to think there is any best
manner to do anything excepting for
each especial case, and it is no doubt,
by ignoring this possible truth that so
mony diverse opinions are held because :
each person considers the question from
his own special point of view, f or this .
reason it wid be ad v isable to narrow -
down the present inquiry to the the simple :
subject of applying manure to soil |
for the fall grain crops, and to ask, is it
better to plow it in as a preparation for
seeding, umipriripd or later? There are farmers who
me uuutciciea iirn.i upon tbit this point, nnint ■ smnP some
prefer to plow m the manure and to mix
it with the soil; others think it does the ;
most good to spread it upon the young j
grain after thc setting in of the winter.
liven Even this uus bare uaro and ana simple simple question question ue de
pends upon circumstances, doing for m would some
cases one way of this work
be preferable to the other i"s If for in
stance, the land is poor, it undoubtedly
better to plow in the manure and mix it
as intimately as possible with the soil than
to leave $he young plants to starve for
want of the food, and to give it to them
after most of them arc dead „, ld gone
and a small portion of them only survive
in a weak and distressed condition. It
is thus seen that this question is an im
portant one to consider just now, as the
loss or safety of a crop may depend upon
it. Ou the other hand, if the soil is fer
tile and the farmer uses a liberal quantity
of fertilizer it may be better to reserve
the manure and to spread it in the win
ter, when it w ill serve the double pur¬
pose of food and shelter to the young
crop, eager after the winter is over to
appropriate the food thus provided for
it when the previous provision has been
exhausted. In this case we bring on to
bear the principle better of repeated fertiliza
tion, which is in many cases than
to use all the manure at one time which
is when the plant cannot use it.
As a rule, farmers have to provide for
poor soil, rather than for a soil over 4
flowing with fertility, and for this reason
\ maybe well to confine attention to
the best of plowing in the manure for
fall gram, because this manner of using
obviously the right ^
it is and best one.
The purpose and use of manure is to
feed the plant; plants feed by their roots,
roots spread through the soil in search of
food, and the less effort they have to
make in this search the better it is for
the plant. The manure then should be
mixed with the soil in the most intimate
^naascr. This £ b v g

turned over with lap furrows, laying the
manure and the soil in sloping layers

lime is very active in assisting in both
these effects Thin it is seen hnw much
better this practice of plowing in man
ure is than reservin^it fora later season,
and then scattering it on the surface - a
method obviously better fitted for land
abounding in fertility than for soil which
urgently needs immediate help to feed

Seasickness.
Seasickness, in the main, is caused by
the rapidly-varying pressure of blood on
the brain, due to the upward and down¬
ward motion of the ship. As the ship the
descends into the trough of the wave
pressure increases; as she rises to the
crest the pressure diminishes, and nausea
is the natural and ordinary consequence
of a sudden rush ot blood from the
brain. Great relief may be obtained by
lying on the side, with the head resting
on the breast and the knees drawn up as
near as possible to the chin. In this po¬
sition the variation in the pressure of
blood on the brain is reduced to a mini¬
mum, and the stomach and its nerves in
a great measure are protected from the
vibrations of the ship.

“Yes, I know I seem to bear it like a
