FOlt FARM AND GARDEN.
BPRKADINO MANURE FROM TILES.
The habit of dumping manure from
tho wagon or sleigh in small piles is
wasteful both of time and manure.
Comparatively fow men can'spread ma¬
nure from piles so as to cover all the
ground, much less to cover it evenly.
Tho matter is inado still worse by leav-
ing (he manure piles to lie several days
or weeks before being spread. The
iolublo parts of tho raanuro aro washed
into tho ground, aud if over/ partiolo
of tho visible manure is removod, tho
spot will yet bo richer than tho space
surrounding it.
USES OK SOFT CORN.
“The difficulty in kooping tho softer
cars of corn has undoubtedly lo l to
wastefulness iu its me. Tho old-fash¬
ioned way was to throw this cora on
tho ground nnd loavo tho hogs to gnaw
tho gruin off tho oars. This was wasteful
in several ways. It mado tho pigs’ teeth
sore, the nutriment in tho cob was lost,
and tho grain being damp ofton soured
on tho pigs’ stomachs aud gave them indi
gestion. There ii probib'y no food
harder to digest than this soft corn.
Cows or sheep that havo a double di¬
gestive apparatus handle it best. Cows
eat corn with the cob and are able to
digest most of it. 8 loop will pick the
grain off tho cob, but they digest so
much better that they will benefit from
this feed more than any other farm
Block. But the better uso of ho ft corn
*s to spread it thinly, so that it will dry
out, and then grind corn aud cob to¬
gether, mixing in enough outs to enable
the mill to pulverize the cob instead
merely reducing it to chunks.— Ameri-
ran C'u’tivitar .'
WATERING COWS.
; The belief that when a cow drinks
too muc's water the milk is poor by ex¬
cess of water is not at nil probable; i i-
deed, it seems to be pliysiolog cally im¬
possible, although, of course, no oac
knows precisely what goes on inside of
an animal. Hut from what is known
of the origin and character of the milk
it ii reasonable lo infer that if water is
drank in excels of tho actual needs of
mi animal it cannot ntTcct tho milk at
ull nnd the excess of water passes off
through the kidneys and tho skin. If,
as is believed, the milk is formed
by tljc breaking down of the
lobule3 of tho milk glands it is not
possible that it can becomo thinner or
more watery by any amount of water
d:ank. O.herwiso we must believe
Hint tho whole of tho tissues of tho
animal ate excessively charged with
water, a a effect which has never been
perceived, The Water drank is ab
sorbed into the blood, an 1 tho 6ensa-
tion of thirst is duo to a want of water
in tho blood which is supplied by
drinking. Wo do not think it pos-
•ible that any animil svill drink luore
water than is required to moist ;n the
food sufficiently for digestion aud to
maiuta n the proper fluidity ol the
blood, and wbatevor excesi of it there
maybe will pass iff through tho kid¬
neys. Cows should not be stinted ol
«nter, but should have all thoy w.ll
drink.— X Y. Times.
IDEAL BUTTER MAKING.
Though of late yoars miuy iuiprovo-
m nts have been made in butter mak¬
ing, and much has boon learned as to
how the milk should be set, tho tune in
which the cream should laisc and the
temperature at which it sheu’d bo
churned, the indications nosv aro that
the next groat need will bo a practical
invention whereby the cream from each
con 1 can be kept and churned by itself.
As a rule man can govern in matteis
of time, speed and temperature, and
bring them into working harmony let¬
ter than he can bring about that exact
uniformity in tho buttor- making quali¬
ties required iu dairy cows, for tbo best
possible results in butter making uuder
the present methodj of setting uud
churning.
In other words, allow tho inilk of
each cow to vary at times as it may
from its own average standard, or from
the average of the herd, but give us a
practical method of getting from the
milk of each the most and the best but¬
ter it is capable of producing. When
we havo this we will be as far advanced
in profitable dairying as the enthusiast
expects to be when he has a herd so
carefully bred that-the milk of all the
cows is exactly aliko; requiring a uni¬
form treatment throughout from the
setting of the milk to the final taking
of the butter from the churn.— Farm,
Field and Stoakman.
STORING AWAT.
Beets, carrots, ( parsnips and salsify
will be the better in pitting out if they
come in direct contact with the soil, and
in storing away a very good plan is to
make a trench sufficiently large to hold
the quantity it is desired to store, and
put in and then cover with a sufficient
amount of soil to keep out the frost.
Potatoes and turnips should have a gool
layer of soil put on the bottom and over
them before covering with soil.
With app'es sod cabbige a gool plan
is to dig out the trench the proper size,
nnd then put in a go id layer of straw,
put in the apples orciblage, at each
end set up a stout forked stake, nnd
into this lay a good stout pole so as to
bo at least a foot above. Take boards
and lay so that one ea i will rcit upon
the ground and tho other upon this pole,
and first oa both sides put a thin layer
«( Straw over tho boards, and then
cover with soil. This keeps them
cleanor, makes them easier to get at
when wanted, and for these two things
especially, will be better than to hava
been put away the same as potatoes.
A trench should always bo dug
around on the outside, so that good
drainago can bo readily afforded. This
is very important for tbo reason that if
they get damp they are easier injured
by frost.
Luto in tho fall or oarly in wintor,
after tho ground has frozen hard,it will
pay to put on an additional layer ol
soil. In order to bo suro that this is
done ovenly, tho bettor plan is to begin
at the bottom all around, and build up
gradually, keeping tho proper thickness
aud making deep enough to keep out
tho frost. This will be found u better
plan than to put on all the covering at
one time. AVhcn intended for long
keeping, unless tho collar is above the
average, if tho work is properly done,
pitting-out is preferablo to putting in
tho cellar.
A supply, however, for mo during
the winter, can be put in the cellar.
When this is done boxes can be mado
and set threo or four inches fiom tho
wall and bo set up on scantling, so as
to raiss them a little from tho ground.
This gives a much better circulation of
air, and sccuros a more even tempera¬
ture, nnd this is quite au item in keep¬
ing the products in u good condition.
Generally they will keep better if tho
tompernturo is kept low and even—as
near freezing as possible without run¬
ning too much risk of injury.
This objection to tho majority of
cellars is that thoy are too changeable,
nnd what is stored iu them does not
keep as well ns if pitted outside.—
Prairie Parmer.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Don’t breed the sosvs too young.
Ice svatcr svon’t warm your stock.
Did you ever try dry bran for pack¬
ing apples)
The cold cow gives cold comfort to
her owner.
Bran is better than c rn to keep off
the thumps.
You can nosv plan, if not plow, for
tho next year’s crop.
As the roads grosv worse the loads
should bo mado lighter.
Something does not cams from noth¬
ing in the cow-keeping bminesi.
Don’t forget to protect those young
grape vines you set out last spring.
Jf you have seme long manure that
you wish to put to good u e, spread it
among the raspheri oi.
A few pules with plenty of straw
over them will make a better shelter for
tools than a snow bank.
Cane or sorghum seed is fed to fowls
with g j oil results. It stimulates egg
prorl iction and iu many ways is good
fur a change.
When the rials are wet and slushy
with snow take more than ordinary care
ia cleaning (lie horses’ legs and heels
and wiping them dry.
Assort your soldi aud make a list of
what you nee 1 for this year's planting.
Do it nosv, nnd when the opportunity
ccmes for buying, you svill know just
what you want.
Those whose cows all “came in” last
spring will soon find that tho dollar
will not “conio out” so freely as it
ought to when butter and milk ara
high, beeause then tho yield of the
cows will be at tho lowest.
Eirly picking of apples improves
their keeping qualities, but no differ¬
ence is manifest for nearly six months
after picking. If kept for a longer
period than six months the early- picked
rpplos show a do titled gain over those
picked late.
Australian Games,
Tho game of Australia, as every one
knows, ii peculiiti'i Tuat Country, not
having shared (lie glao’id epoohs which
mado so many chdugos in tbo fauna of
the rest of tho earth, has rotaiued de¬
scendants of the most primitive fami¬
lies of tho mammalia. Nearly all its
larger animals are marsupials, or
pouched animals; kangaroos, wollabys,
wombats, so-called opossums, flying-
foxes, mountain-kangaroos, and what
not. The “old-man” kangaroo is the
only one of the large animals which
makes a game defence when hunted,
but he often kills the dogs, and some¬
times even rips open a horse or a man
with the powerful claw on his hind
foot.
When to Wind Tour Watch.
A dry goods merchant and a joweler
were going home together on a street
car nt the close of their day’s labors,
and the former drew from his vest his
handsome watch and proceeded to wind
it up. “This isn’t the right time of
day to do that, ” said his friend. ‘ 'Every
watch should be wound at home the
first thing in tho morning, so that the
fullest tension of the spring mty be
upon tbo movement during the jarring
of the owner’s footsteps while he is up
and aivako. This will save frequent
regulation of the time-piece. Try it
for a month or two and you’ll bo sur¬
prised at the improvement in your
time.”
Misunderstood.
Snodgrass (to Grocer)—Those apples
I got from you were not half bnd.
Grocer (cheerfully)—I’m glad you
liked them.

The Care of the Eyes.
Sit erect in your chair when rending,
nnd as erect when writing as possible.
If you bend downward you not only
gorge the eyes with blood, but the
brain ns well, nnd both suffer. The
same luie should apply to the use of
the microscops, Got one that will
enable you to look at things horizon¬
tally, not at Mays vertically.
Have a readiug lamp for night use.
N. B.—In reading, the light shoul l l;e
on the book or paper nnd the eyes iu
the shade. If you have no leading
lamp, tuin your back to the light, and
you may read without danger to the
syos.
Hold the book nt your focus; if that
begins to get far away, get spectacles.
Avoid readiug by the flickering light
of tho fire.
Avoid straining tho eyes by reading
in the gloaming.
Beading in bed is injurious, as a rule.
It must be admitted, however, that- in
cases of sleeplessness, when the mind is
inclined to ramble over a thousand
thoughts a minute, reading steadies the
thoughts and conduces to sleep.
Do not read much in a railway car¬
riage. I myself always do, however,
only in a good light, and I invariably
carry a good reading lamp to hook on
behind me. Thousands of people would
travel by night rather than by day if
the companies could only see their way
to the exclusive use of their electric
light.
Authors should have black-ruled pa¬
per instead of blue, and should never
strain the eyes by reading too fine
types.
The bedroom blinds should bo Ted or
gray, and the head of the bed should
be toward the window.
Those ladies who not only write, but
sew, should not attempt tho black seam
by night.
When you come to an age that sug¬
gests the wearing of spectacles let no
false modesty prevent you from getting
i pa r. If you have only one eye an
jjeglass will do; otherwise it is folly.
A Feature of Mexico.
A great feature of Mexico is the
parks, or plazas, as they call them. No
matter how small tbo town or poor the
houses they will have a beautiful plaza
and in the evening they will have bands
of music and singing. I never heard a
poor band while I was in Mexico.
Tho language is tho softest nnd most
beautiful I ever lieard, and listening to
them talking or singing in the plazas
you seem to be in a land of poetry.
Sarcasm.
What ccula be more sarcastic than the
another spiteful remark made by one woman “Do to
of a mutual friend? B--pretends yoti
know that little Mrs. don’t to
be a collector of antiquities? You
bclievR she really has any, do you? “Oh,

might set his foot on it. But if he should

Barristers and Attorneys.
There arc two classes of lawyers in
England, one being called barristers, the

the client, gets up the evidence and pre¬
pares the papers, in short, does all the
work necessary to bring it into court.
There the attorney retains a barrister to
conduct the case in court. Hence, bar¬
risters rank higher than attorneys. We

'Tell me,” the teacher, smillnjf, said,
" The name of names most dear.”
And she glanced at each thoughtful little face
As she waited the answer to hear.
But startled was she when a hand was raised.
And a face between smiles and tears
Was turned to her and in eager tone
A iittle maid’s answer-all her own-
Was lisped: “ Please, Miss, Dr. Pierce.”
The teacher laughed heartily a? she told her friends, but wn.en she discov¬

peculiar to her sex, and had been cured by Dr. Pierce’s thus Favorite Prescription, her love for •

A Short Name.
In a town in France an odd fact came
to %ht at the registration of the birth of
a child. The happy father was asked the
maiden name of his wife, to which he an¬
swered : “Rose B.” “Well, how do you
spell it? Bee, By, Bey, or how?” “Just
simply initial, B.” That cannot be. B is only
an not a name.” “It is the only
name my wife ever had until she married
me. Neither she nor any of her family
have ever had any other name than just
B, neither more nor less. They could
hardly have had less, and an examination
of the record showed that they had really
never had more. Beyond doubt the B
family bears the shortest name in France,
perhaps of in the world. Only one other
name equal brevity is known, and that
is the name of a place. About fifteen
miles from Peronne, on the Ham line,
there is a commune known as Y. It has
some two hundred inhabitants. The ori¬
gin would of be the name Y investigate is unknown, and it
curious to the origin
of the patronymic of the B family.
