Cows give bloody milk on account of |
inflammation of the udder. The inflam ■ |
■nation may bo caused by cold, bruises,
over-heating or over-feeding. The treat
ment of the cow should be according to
the circumstances. Bathing the udder
frequently with hot wuter, or bettor yet,
hot vinegar, is always good. If the uddei
lias been over-stimulated, feed less.
In cleaning ivies, oleanders and like
plants that are subject to scale insects,
the means employed for destroying the
same are frequently insufficient to destroy
the young broods, so small os to escape
detection. To prevent such vexatious
happenings, use water in washing plants
of nearly 120 degrees of heat, and by the
addition of tobacco juice to give it a
color like weak tea, or else whale oil
soap or common soap to create suds freely.
Such a liquid starts up the young a. d
old insects alike. The washing thoroughly

Tahhisukd Bhass and Copper.—To
brighten tarnished brass and copper,
clean the brass by warming it and dip
ping in water charged with washing
soda, then into clear water to remove the
grease. Next dip it in a bath of one
part by measure of sulphuric acid, one
part sal ammoniac, two parts nitric acid
and four parts water. Dip for a moment,
then dip iu clear water and dry in ho.

How to Preserve Mtt.K.—Pour the

Farm anil Carden Notes.
Never feed cornstalks uncut. Even for
manure making cutting is far better. •
Bran, sprinkled with pepper anil mixed
with milk, is excellent food occasionally
for laying hens.
Let no animal be placed where it will bo
helplessly threatened by a stronger one
with no chance of escape.
An elm transplanted is said to make no
more wood in twelve or fifteen years than
oue in mother soil will in ten years.
A lahib will begin to eat when it is
ten days to two weeks old. There is
nothing better for them than whole oats.
If a horse coughs, dampen his huv, wet
his mixed feed, keep him out of a draft,
after exercise blanket him, and give him
a little ginger in his feed.
You want a dozen or two of early pul.
lets, so as to have them commence laying
next fall. Early pullets will pay you wed
for all the trouble of raising them.
When cows gnaw boards give them
charcoal mixed iu the meal and ground
bone. They should also have roots aud
a sprinkling of wood ashes on them.
If, from improper care or feeding, or
from some unavoidable cause, your horse
s out of condition, you should dose him
with a little medicine and much common
sense.
Cattle have four stomachs: the barn
yard fowl two. the crop and gizzard.
Gravel acts in the place of teeth in fowls.
This serves to help griti^ down tho food

thus fresh air be admitted from some
source to replace that carried away. If
the escape pipe cannot be supplied, bo
sure to have full, fie- ventilation, es
pecially in small rooms. An ordinary
lamp probably consumes as much air as
three giown persons do in breathitig; a
largo one much more: while a four-
burner oil stove will use as much air (or
oxygen) as thirty or forty persons breath

ways look after fresh air by using an
escape pipe or ventilator; better provide
both.—Prairie Farmer.
Horrible Treatment of Children.
Some horrible disclosures just made at
Chalons, in Franco, ou^lit to remind
those who are in the habit of bestowing
charity on child beggars in the streets
that too frequently they are, in point of
fart, giving money to nnd encouraging
infamous characters who’ martyrize the
helpless children in their power. The at
tention of the police of Chalons
was lately attracted by a little
boy with " one arm and another child,
a cripple, wheeling himself about
in a small wooden box. Both children
appeared so utterly miserable find pain
stricken that they were taken to the sta
tion house, where they told a sad story of
suffering. About three years ago, it
transpired, the boys, who arc cousins,
aged respectively eight and ten years,
wore living with their parents in Barcelo
na. While returning from school
together they were accosted by a man and
woman who enticed them to the railway
