So the apprehension of reading farmers
L until their practice has been repeated
bv farmers who have learned by observing
* jt if it is a matter of so much impor
tance to the farmer to make sure that the
proper nutriment gets into the stomachs of
his animals does it not stand to reason that
he should be a little particular about what
he pu'u into his own? He would not think
of giving his horse anything that ho was sure
w.mid injurious, for this would be worse
jhan a waste. But if indigestible food inter
feres with the horse's work and makes him
less useful, will not indigestible food havean
injurious effect upon his own efficiency? will
not dyspepsia and disease generally rob his
body of its strength and suppleness and
make his brain more sluggish? And is not
any subtraction from the value of his own
mental and physical force a moro serious
loss than any lack of vigor in his horse or
mule? And if it is so important that his
young stock—his colt3 and calves—should
be properly fed if they are to grow up into
strong and healthy a id profitable ani mals,
is it not of more importance that his own
children hou.d be nourished well in order
that they may become vigorous and force
ful men and women?
There is only one reply to such queries as
these. But how is the farmer to know what
is the best food for him? And here it must
be admitted that science has dono but little
for our instruction. Why should not
human nutrition a id the comparative value
aud digestibility of food-stuflfs for man bo
made the subject of investigation at our ex
periment stations? In these times it would
be a raat'.er of interest to many farmers to
know how they could make a dollar go the
farthest in the purchase of nutritious food.
But until we know inora there will be no
exe iso for tho farmer who does not exercise
every caution and do just as well as he
knows how to do in this important matter.
Everybody knows better than to eat in a
hurry ad without sufficient mastication.
Everybody knows it is a crime to satisfy
his apprtuo and then to overload his stom
ach because some rich dessert is offered
him. Everyone knows that food fried in
grease is indigestible; that hot bread is less
wholesome than cool bread. The fanner
who is a careful about his own stomach as
he is of his horse’s or cow’s, will soon learn
what food is most profitable for him. What
we eat is only one factor in our general
health, but if we give attention to this we
shall bo more likely to stu ly all the laws of
health. If we only realized what a vast
improvement upo i tho present prosperity
of the country would follow an improve
ment of t;ie general health, farmers would
begin to look into t leir kite ens as closely
as they now do into their grain and bran
b r„. 1 hev would pay at least as much at
tention to food as they now do to fodder.

Will Thorough Harrowing Keep Out
Worms?
H. S. D. of St. Anne, lIL, in the St. Louis ’
Journal of Agriculture, thinks that nis
harrow destroys cut worms. Here is what
he says about it:
“I believe I have found a remedy that
surpasses coal oil or turpentine, for such
will not prevent cut worms from destroying
corn. I will relate how it happened. I had
a piece of corn that the cut worms were
bent to destroy, and I had about given it
up when I went to the field on purpose to
harrow it prior to replanting it once more.
I harrowed crosswise with a fine slanting
tooth harrow. The nmit day I went in the
same field and it appßired to me the corn
looked a little better than the previous day,
so I concluded that it was best to wait till
next day, and I kept harrowing other
pieces. That day we had a soaking rain,
the first for a month, and to my surprise
the corn I had intended to replant was
looming up, and was of a beautiful green,
healthy color, while that of the adjoining
field only appeared the worse aftertherain.
But what surprised me most was on exam
ining more closely I found in many cases
dead worms on the ground scattered in
many directions. Thinking that the rain
had drowned them I went to look on a
piece of ground that had not been harrowed,
but not a single worm was to be seen. Was
not that a curiosity? Ou one field lots of
worms were dead; i l the adjoining fields
not one was to be seen on the ground. All
were in the ground as healthy as ever. For
this cause I came to the conclusion that the
harrowing did the work. The fine teeth of
the harrow served to dig the worm from the
ground, and when exposed to the rays of
the sun they were too weak to bury them
selves, thus they sood died.”
If harrowing will kill cutworms and at
the same time be tho means of increasing
the nitrogen and other atmospheric plant
food in the soil, the harrow has much more
value iu the crop than mo3t farmers
suppose. Who can prove that the harrow
does not help increase the supply of nitro
gen in the soil? Who has experience with
the harrow and cut worms that contradicts
the above writer in the Journal of Agri
culture?
To Catch a Horse in Pasture.
Tho American Cultivator says that a
young horse which it is almost impossible
to catch in pasture may be conquered if
the following course is pursued with him:
Go through the pasture where the horse
runs oneo or twice a day, shaping the course
so as to go as near as passiole to the rogue
without disturbing him. If he runs, keep
straight on and pay no attention to him.
After a few days, when he finds that he is
not chased, he will probably let one como
quite near him, provided they do not go
straight toward him. When that
point has been gained take some
oats or a small dish of salt
and sugar mixed—about equal quantities of
each, and when so near that ho can see it,
drop a handful of the mixture in a smooth
place, where he can easily find it, then move
on. The chances are that tho horse will
make an investigalioa at once and eat what
has been left for him. After repeating this
a few times he will most likely be in the
watch, and instead of running from the
dish will come to meet it. When this has
been accomplished take some of the grain
of sugar in the hand and reach it toward
him. He will be shy at first, but will soon
come and taste it, and most likely scamper
away as though possessed. Let him go,
speak to him kindly and move off in the
opposite direction. Follow this up until
when one enters the pasture he will come to
moot him. .Always have a dainty bit of
something for him. A pocket full of sweet
apples makes an excellent bait, so do a few
lumps of sugar. Let him come and hunt
for them in the pocket. When he comes
near, push him away carelessly and gently,
as though you did not care to have him
quite so familiar. Almost any horse can
bo made so tame in a short time by this
method that he will suffer himself to be
caught provided ho is approached prop
erly.
Dairies in the South.
One reason why more dairies are not
started in the south is the farmers are too
poor to run risks in starting new industries,
and the planters who have moans and credit
are opposed to small industries and mixed
farming, says the New Orleans Picayune.
They like to make warehouses full of cot
ton, sugar or rice, aud but little besides.
If a farmer has half a dozen or a dozen
cows and desires to go into dairying, ho can
start on a cheap and safe plan if he has no
noney or credit to start a full-grown
dairy.
Take the best cow with a young calf and
make a note of the number of pounds of
milk aud butter she weekly. Then
commence feeding her on all of tho bay or
corn fodder she needs daily, water her three
times a day, tTeat her well, give her two or
three pounds of cotton seed meal and five
or six pounds of bran daily and warm
kitchen slops, with a little salt and a quart
of corn meal, and in two weeks make a
note of her yiold of milk aud butter. Note
what the increase of milk and buttor is
worth, and then what her feed costs, and
see if five or ten cows would pay for their
foed aud profit by the same kind of treat
ment.
If a dairy will pay its own exponses and
a handsome profit then the farmer may add
to his dairy conveniences and to his means
of making money, \vuh no need of borrow
ing money or running risks. One cow may
settle the question safely.
Don’t Neglect the Pastures.
In the press of farm work it is very nat
ural to give little or no thought or attention
to permanent pastures. The Germantown
Telegraph says that in som i sections of
country, notably in New England, there are
pastures that have been subjected to the
task of supplying food for thirty to forty
aud more years, with little or nothing be
ing done to restore any exhaustive condi
tion. Although the natural evacuations of
animals are returned to the soil during tho
day, in case of milch cows, if yarded dur
ing the night, there is much that is not so
returned, and as a consequence gradual ex
haustion follows. Many pastures are se
lecte 1 because of their roughness and the
impossibility of cultivation, and the only
means of improvement comes from top
dressing. And because this can be accom
plished with no great amount of trouble, it
should not be neglected to the extent of
impairing the feeding value of the pasture.
Fine manure, bone meal, phosphate, ashes,
or other fertilizing materials may be em
ployed to good purpose.
All insects are not enemies. Some of
them are the best friends the farmers have.
Spiders, wasps, dragon flies and other in
sects pray upon insects that are injurious.
There are also otuer numerous parasites
that greatly assist in destroy ing insects.

Farm and Stock Notes.
In driving horses on the road let them
urink at every opportunity; a dozen times
a day m summer is not too often.
ft> r any reason you allow a calf to
suck the cow, care must be taken to draw
away every drop of milk not taken bv the
calf.
, A judicious allowance of bran or oats at
tins sea-on of the year will increase the milk
supply and fortify the cow’s system for
-ser production during the fall and win-
The Colorado potato beetle has been oi>-
seryed m Central Mississippi this year.; It is
said that this pest has never been noticed so
tar south in that longitude before.
The freshest eggs are the heaviest, and
when placed in water will sink to the
ortl°m at once; older eggs will sink par
tially to the bottom, while stale eggs float
on top.
Don’t forget to keep your poultry-house
well whitewashed. It can be doue o ice a
month and benefit your stock, if vou re
spect the health of your flocks their houses
must be kept clean.
It will be noticed that Texas stockmen
find profit in feeding boiled cotton- eed. If
English farmers can afford to feed cotton
s ed meal American farmers can afford to
feed the entire seed.
One great secret of the development of a
heifer for the dairy Consists in putting off
the return of progeny for a period of not
less than four months, and better six
months, after the birth of the first calf.
Charcoal is a wonderfully useful article
to feed to poultry. It acts on the blood and
tones it up, the results of which are readily
noticeable in the bright color of the comb
and wattles and activity displayed by tho
chicken itself.
A small amount of crude carbolic acid
(about a tablespoonful in a gallon of soap
suds) poured in tho sink-hole will destroy
foul odor and also prevent the propagation
of flies, as the acid destroys the maggots.
The soapsuds assist in preserving the
ammonia of the sink.
Ensilage and the silo are not beyond the
ability of the small farmers. Tho supposi
tion that endlage can only be used on large
farms is erroneous. It costs very little to
const! uct a silo, while ensilage is more
easily grown and prepared than corn
fodder.
There is no article of food of which the
consumption is so regular as that of eggs.
They are as indispensable as bread and meat,
and it matters not whether the ; rices are
high or low, the demand still continues and
yearly increases.
Do not attempt to savetheseedsof pump
kins, melons or tquash unless the vines for
that purpose are grown at a distance from
all other varieties of the same family. The
pollen of such plants is carried quite a dis
tance by the winds, and also by insects.
Two or mar® varieties will fertilize the
blossoms of eaob.
Once in a full year should be considered
often enough for a milker to bear a calf,
aud for younger cows once in from four
teen to sixteen months. Older cows that
may be considered fully developed and of
established habit, c iws S or 10 years of age,
may, if their calves are of great value, be
put to rapid breeding.
Farm and Home says: “To keep cows
from Kicking when being milked lot a strap
be buckled around the cow jus forward of
tue hip bones a id allowed to como nearly to
the floor. In this let the milker put his foot
as it hangs, drawing it tight over the kick
er’s back, aud she will usually keep her feet
on the floor.
A “Lamb Club” has been formed by a
party of Tennessee sheep men for the pur
pose of breeding and soiling spring lamb, t >
tho best advantage, says the Pural New
Yorker. The lambs are sent to the New
Yoik market, great pains being taken to
secure the best possible specimens as well a •
to ship them in good condition. By com
bining and concentrating their business tho
members of the club are enabled to s euro
lowes retes of transportation and to present
lambs of uniform grade.
It will often be found that cows will pre
fer to drink stagnant water, even almost
filthy, from pools, nther than to taka tha;
fresh drawn from tho well. It is not tho
cleanness of the web water that the cows
object to, but its coldness. Leave the weil
wa or in tubs or troughs exposed to the air
a few hours in summer. The cows will
drink moro freely, give moro milk and do
better every way for it. Filthy water thev
should not bo allowed to drink, at least
while giving milk.

Dr. Parkes’ “Oatmeal Drink.”— The
proportions are one-quarter pound of oat
meal to two or three quarts of water, ac
cording to the heat of t ie day and the work
and thirst; it should be well boiled, and
then an ounce or one aud a half ounces of
brown sugir added. If you find it thicker
than you like, add three quarts of wattr.
Before drinking it, shake up the oatmeal
well through the liquid. In summer drink
this cold; iu winter hot. You will find it
not only quenches thirst, but will give you
more strength and endurance than any
other drink. If you oaunt boil it you can
take a little oatmeal mixed with cofd wa ; er
and sugar; but this is not so good; always
boil if you can. If at any time you have
to make a very long day, as in harvest, and
cannot stop for meals, increase the oatmeal
to one-half, or even three-quarters of a
pound, and the water to three quarts if you
are likely to be very thirsty. If you can
not get oatmeal, wheat flour will do, but
not quite so well.

Prof. James D. Dana of Yale college sug

for telephone message.
The electric cars are said to make better
time after sundown and before sunrise than
during the day. The damp air is thought
to favor the electric power.
The lightness and durability of white ce

telegraph and telephone poles, a use to
which it is largely put.
A process of engraving on glass and crys
tal by electricity nas been communicated to
the French Academy of Science by M.
Plante. The plate to be engraved is cov

of potash, and put in connection one of the
poles of the battery, and the design is
traced out with a fine platinum point con

said to be of marvelous delicacy.
An electric fire engine, which can be
tapped for service whenever wanted, is tho
latest invention. The advantages claimed
are that it can be started at full speed; that
that it is much lighter thau a
steam fire engine of equal power;
that it costs one-third less; it is
noiseless in its operation; makes no
smoke or ashes; that it is safer aud more
economical.
Prot. Fresenius of Wiesbaden after a long
series of chemical analyses, declares that an
egg contains as much nourishment as a
pound and an ounce of cherries, a pound a id
a quarter of grapes, a pound and a half of
russet apples, two pounds of goosoberries
and four pounds or pears, and that 114
pounds of grapes, 137 pounds of russet ap
ples, 192 pounds of pears and 337 pounds
of plums are equal in nourishment to 100

The British Medical Journal says that
chocolates, confectionery, dried fruits,
cheeses and other food products are very
often wrapped in what appears to be and is

Cold Tea. —The mistake that most peo
ple make in preparing tei for a cold drink
is in letting it stand too long on the tea
leaves, stand until cold. This brings out all
the bitter, indigestible qualities of the t* a
leaf, which may be somewhat diszuised bv
the lemon and sugar added, but remain to
torment the drinkdr. To get the full bene
fit of good iced tea first heat the proper
quantity on a tiu pie plate, or any iron
plate; let it get thoroughly hot so that it
will crumble to dust between finger aud
thumb. Than scald out the teapot very
hot, using a i earthen pot, which is the only
teapot that has no black deposit left on it
from other t.amakmgs; add to this from
the feottla the first boiling water out of the
freshly filled kettle, and let it draw five
mi lutes, and no more. Four off to cod,
and when entirely cold add the sa no quan
tity of good milk to your pitcher. You
will have not only a refreshing, but u nour
ishing driuk. Of course, if lemon is
called for you omit the milk. Cold
coffee is also more refreshing when milk is
added.
JACK, THE PHOTOGRAPHER.
A Morbid Boston Crank Who Is tho
Terror of All Aquatic Lovers.
Boston letter to the Chicago Tribune.
There is an amateur photographic crank
here in town who has developed a morbid
passion for a most unusual pastime. If his
identity were ascertained—up to date it is a
mystery—he would be apt to suffer from
various kicks and other unpleasant things,
inflicted by persons who have undergone
annoyance at his hands. The Charles river
at this season of the year is n favorite test
ing place for nquatically disposed lovers,
who paddie about on the calm waters after
sundown and spoon and spoon and spoon
until the fishes" como up to the surface
and gasp for breath. Naturally tjjo dark of
the moon is considered the most appropriate
time for these amatory pursuits, anil it is
at such periods of lunar obscuration that
the crank photographer above referred to
comes to the front. Armed with a cam ora,
he paddles a light canoe si etitly abo it over
tho .-till surface, until he finds himself un
perceived in tho neighborhood of some small
craft, the suspicious immobility of which
betrays tho presence of Cupid at the helm.
Then, without making tho slightest noise,
he trains his instrument upon the uncon
scious victims, springs a little magnesium
flashlight and jerks simultaneously a string
that exposes a dry plate for a fraction of a
second. This, at any rate, is supposed to bo
his method, though theasbmi*liingswiftness
with which lie skips away down stream,
after performing an operation of the sort,
has thus far precluded all possibility of in
vestigation. Tho outrage has ueeii perpe
trated so many times that the owner of the
canoe must now have quite a gallery of
lovers afloat, all ready for exhibition at so
much a head to the thousands of curious
people who would undoubtedly be willing
to pay liberally for a view of the collection.
And meanwhile it appears that engaged or
“courtii g” couples who go out in boats to
spoon upon the Charles are rapidly broom
ing fower, owing to the fear of being “took”
unawares by t.iis scamp with tho mag
nesium light.

“Thick and Glossy.”
TIIE PRODUCTION of an abundant
growth of hair, of a silk-like texture
and of the original color, often results
from the use, by those who have become
bald or gray, of Ayer’s Hair Vigor:
“ I was rapidly becoming gray and
bald ; but after using two or three
bottles of Ayer’s Hair Vigor my hair
grew thick anil glossy and tho origi
nal color was restored.”—M. Aldrich,
Canaan Centre, N. IT.
“ A trial of Ayer’s Hair Vigor has con
vinced me of its merits. Its use has
not only caused the hair of my wife and
I daughter to be abundant anil glossy, but
it has given my rather stunted mus
tache a respectable length and appear
ance.” —R. Britton, Oakland, Ohio.
“ I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor for
the past four or five years and find it a
most satisfactory dressing for the hair.
It is all that I could desire, being harm
less, causing the hair to retain its
natural color, and requiring but a small
quantity to render the hair -easy to ar
range.”— Mrs. M. A. Bailey, 9 Charles
st., Haverhill, Mass.
