UNPROFITABLE COW*.
At the last meeting of the Indiana
breeders of Jersey cattle it was stated
bv one speaker, and the statement was
not contradicted, that at least one-half
of the registered Jersey cows in that
state were unprofitable in the dairy, and
ought to go to slaughter. Commenting
on this a Western contemporary per¬
tinently remarks that the same is doubt¬
less true of other breeds, a result due
to false notion’in regard to brieiing.
If this is trui of such a dairy breed ns
the Jerseys, it is a.ked: What must
be the proportion of unprofitable cows
in the scrub dairies and the dairies made
up of ‘‘general purpose” cows? The
percculago in such dairies mo t be
something amazing
KILLING ANT*.
Persons who regard the largo black
ants in the orchard as pests may get rid
of them by placing a few fresh bone3
where they are most frequent, or lirge
sponges mois'ened with sweetoned
water. Taese will soon be cov re l
with them, when ihe ants may be killed
by showering boiling water on them.
When their nesti can be fount they
mny also be de troved with hot water
or by punching a slick down into it
and pu.ting in a half gill of bisulphide
of carborn and immediately covering
the hole u i. The vapor will soon kill
Ih-m, but care m:ist be lmd not to ex
pose it to fire. They cau also be kept
out of a fiuit tree by making a little
ring of gas tar on the ground around '
the tree. For my ow i put I don’t care
to kill them in an orchard, for i think
they are uicful in destroying insect)
that do more harm thin they do. —

BERRY CROWING.
A correspondent of Vi c/s Mijtiz.he
says: The grower ot such perishable
articles as berries is subject to a constant
nervous strain while the season lasts,
and shcu d, in the nature of things, i e
baiter lemunerated than tlie stolid ln
borer or the producer of non-perishable
products. Some fruit-growers are »°
happily situated that they can employ
women as nickers, t , and then there it no
need of foremen or tickets, as each
picker cau keep her own accounts, and
pick ia separate crates, subject to in¬
spection at noon or night.
The trouble with chi dren is gener¬
ally lack of mature ju lgident, but some
are tricky and dishonest. Most every
extensive fruit-growe.- Is subject to
strikes when the picking gets poor, and
I have fi ll id it best to have a contract
with their parents, subj -ct to pennlty if
broken. This is enforced by withhold¬
ing piy until the close of the season,
with forfeiture of a por.iou if c intract is
broken.
I once visited a large berry-growing
firm, near Philadelphia, who ha) erected
a cheap two-stcry barrack of tW-ivc
rooms, wliero were housed their sixty
pickers. They cooked for themselves
on an old stove in tne open air, and the
escape from the hot cdy to the open
fields ani profitable employ meat wa. a
rare picnic for them.
storing seed corn.
After the seed corn is properly select
ed in (he fall it is quite au item to
store properly in order that the v.tahty
will not be injured. One of the most
important items in doing this s lo keep
it dry. If allowed to get wet and then
troz n, the vitality is often considera
biy injured if not destroyed. One of
thc aivantages of selecting the see)
corn in the fall and storing is that there
is less risk of the vita iiy being injured
Ilian if Ihe selecting, ii deferred until
spring. Corn left in th; Arid, either in
the shock or standing, often get* wet iu
the fall and a hard breeze after war!)
seriously affects Iho vitality, and if st c’.i
lorn is planted in the spring there is
always mote or le3S that will fail to ger
minate.
if dried thoroughly before storing
away and then kept dry the risk of
failure can be considerably dciTeased.
It is also important to see that it is
properly protected from the depre la
tions of rats and mice; they will eat out
the heart unlcsi pains ‘ are taken ih sior
:np s to protect. Good tight . , boxes ,
can be used or the carscan be fes’ened
together either y g • -
screws male especially for the purpose,
by l.laiting the husks together or tying
together with string: or wires, and
then hanging in a loft. Corn will stand
v.-rv cold weather without damaging
thc vitality if it is dried in the fall and
18 kept dry during the winter, but if
damp ani then frozen the quality will
be considerably injured. It is always
best to select more than may be actually
needed so that another selection of Ih •
Lcs! can be made in the spring before
planting. There is too mnch risk of
failure to cut the corn tn th; fall an)
winter, and . depend . , upon selccing , the
seed corn from w’aat is left in the snbj-c,; spring,
running the risk of having it J

>>BW AND GARDEN NOTES
Generally, h» who sells hay from hie
farm pays a high rats of iatei?»t ffti
the money ho get’.
For the nutiition of lira stock and
tll , conse rvation of soil fertility, grass
is the world's royal crop.
Spent Un bark is used with satis fac
lion {or mulcjing UU seU!B g of car
rants, grapes and other small frails.
Excessive growth or fattening i» at a
great exp-JiiiC of fool. Bitter a con¬
tinuous good growth, and no cramming
stages.
The man who buys good animals and
gives them scrub feed, ought, to be
consistent, not to hoist his umbrella in
a rain storm.
If ycur corn it late, cut th.t about
the sloughs and low places first, it w.l
make goo 1 foider, if nit Cura; it
frozen it may make neither.
Saving it at important at ca-ning.
After raising a crop save it. Stock lo
eat the coarser fodder raised on a f arm
is a good way to “s.ve” on a farm.
The farmer m«t have a long bank
account who cm afford to I reed im
mature animiL, or to keep animals for
the sham das after they approaci
maturity.

will plant onc-’.ialf sugar maple and

Hand Braiding.
A clever Boston writer protests
against the nonsense of women who s.-iv
they would not wear braiding done br
machinery. There is some difference
between embroidery done by ail art iit
with the needle and that produced b:
the very best of machine.; but if there
he any difference between mechanically
produced bi aid ing and that done by
hand it is in favor of tho former, and
sure ly there is nothing disagreeable i:i
thc work of braiding, following out a
set, stiff pattern, with no more change
in stitch an) no mor: opportunity for
using one’s taste thaa the c is in sewing
a plain seain. Thc only sensible retson
for preferring handwork is ihj chance
that it gives to employ a poor woman,
and it would be better to give her some¬
thing which a machine could not do.
A fortnignt's work is sometimes repre¬
sented by one small panel in a skirt,
aad a fortnight of braiding must be tor
ture.

A Vegetable Diet.
The Chus-se are vegrtamns, partly on
account force of their religion, partly from
of habit and perform- of cmuin

must be cultivated to the best advantage,
A8 every one knows, flesh eating is a most
wasteful practice, as the same amount of
land will support thirty or forty times a«
many persons first taking the products of the
earth at luted as when inking corn
and other vegetable produ ts at second
hand in th» ft rm of flesh. In view t
these fact’, It is not singular that the few
foreign citt V found in China are carefully
preserved f >i labor instead of being
eaten. A r ecm writer asserts that beef

Flower Worship
A recent traveler in India gives the fol¬
practiced lowing description of flower worship as
by the Persians in Bombay: A
true Persian, in flowing lobe of blue, and
on his head a sheepskin hat—black, glos¬
sy, curly, the fleece of Kar-Kal would
saunter in and stand and meditate over
every flower lie saw, and always as
if half ill vision. And when the vision
was fulfilled, and the ideal flower he was
seeking found, lie would spread his mat
and sit before it until the setting of the
sun, ami then fold up his mat again and
go home. And the next night, and night
alter *•, night, • i , until •, that i particular , flower
faded away, he would return to it and
bring his friends iu ever increasing troups
to it, and Sit and ]>lav the guitar or lute
before it, and they w ould altogether pray
there, and after prayer still sit before it
drinking and talking the most
and shocking scandal late into the moon
light, and so again every evening until
the flower died. Sometimes bv wav of i\
grand finale, the whole cm,,.any would
suddenly arise before the flower and sere
nude it, together with a a ode from Hafiz,
