Waters and Peter Dueber and Policeman
William Gillespie are under bond to an

DECREASING.
A GREAT FALLING OFF IN TIIR MANUFAC
TURE OF CIGARS AND CIIEROOTS.
At a session of the National Cigar
makers’ union, at New York, on Tues
day, a paper was read ir which it was
stated that the increase in the number of
cigars and cheroots produced during the
year 1888 and 1889 was much smaller
than during the years 1886 and 1887.
It was a noticeable fact that the increase
in production was in districts where the
lowest wages were paid. In districts
where high wages are paid there was a
decrease in production. In New York
city, during the fi-cal year ending June,
1889, there was a decrease of 1,2G3,788
cigars and cheroots. The decrease in
other paits of New York slate was 3,
948.003.

tion of the representatives at St. Joseph
to give public expression to the demand
of the West to secure the world’s fair foi
one of the Western trrde centers as

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
TIME TO CUT BARLEY. 3$
Barley should always bo cut before it
is dead ripe. If cut* slightly green it
g]j s better and is less likely to be
stained by wet wca her. In an over
ripe barley field even a heavy dew will
sometimes stain the barley while stand
ing. Why Parley cut green fills better
is hard to understand. It may be that
after long standing the rust atlacks the
stalk and leaves, while if cut earlier the
stalk dries off more naturally, and the
matter contained in it goes to perfect
the grain .—Boston Cultivator.
RIPENING CREAM FOR CHURNING.
A proper degreo of acidity in the
cream is required to produce the best
quality of butter. It matters not how
this acidity is produced, whether by
time or the mixture of some form of
lactic acid. It may be produced by the
addition of sour milk to the fresh
cream, in quantity of one pint of the
milk to 10 gallons of cream, and thor
ough stirring to diffuse the acid, which
at once begins to act upon the sweet
cream, and in 24 hours brings it into
the right condition for churning. On
principle this is precisely the same as
mixing the newly-skimmed sweet cream
with the older and sour cream, by which
the former is acidified and the acid of
the latter is neutralized to some extent.
The practice of slowly stirring the
cream in the jar when the fresh cream is
added, is therefore not to be neglected,
as it not only hastens the ripening of
the fresh cream, but it retards that of
the older.
RECUPERATING HORSES.
It will be found that the horses which
have steady and constant work are the
ones which stand the hot weather best.
Spasmodic work is worse on horses in
summer than in winter, although it is
hard enough oa them at any season of
the year. A team that i3 in the pasture
field one day and in the plow or on the
road the next will be found soft and
unable to withstand the hard labor
which it would were it given some
thing to do every day. The idea of
resting up horses is often an erroneous
one, and generally works more injury
than it does good. A layoff of a few
days from hard work does a horse but
little good. The best way to recuper
ate a jaded animal is to lighten the
work a little each day. It is much bet
ter than to keep it entirely from work
for a while and then start in to do as
much work each day as usual. Tho
most enduring horses are those which
are kept constantly moving and given
good care while at work.— Good.ill's
Bun.
NOVEL HAY-BALERS.
A unique method for baling hay was
invented some years ago, and as the
patent has just expired, perhaps our
readers may be glad to put it into use
in some way. Tho idea is to collect
hay, straw and other material in a roll
by means of a small revolving cylinder,
or on anything which can be remove I.
The roll must be in the form of a spool
of silk, that is, much larger in diame
ter than in width. A number of these
sections, which are scarcely more tian
disks are thee laid one upon the other
in a cylinder and pressed. With the
many cider and other cheap presses be
ing shipped to all parts of tho country,
our readers will see at a glance that it
will be an easy matter to utilize them
for pressing hay in this way. Wires
or cords must be laid in the cylinder
before the hay is put in and the follow
er should have slots across its lower sur
face, that the cord3 or wires may be
tightened before it is loosened. The
cylinder may be a roll of sheet iron
hooped or a tightly-bound wooden ar
rangement. The spindle for collecting
the hay may be revolved by horse,wind
mill or steam power, and several rolls
may be formed at once on the same
shaft. —American Agriculturist.
STONF, CRUSHING FOR OOOD ROADS.
I am moro encouraged to think I
shall live to see better roads than ever
before. There is much useful advice in
all the papers. Some road districts
ha vo a little fruitful rivalry with each
Other, but tho thing that promiiei to do
most to revolutionize road-making is
the stone-crusher. In the adjoining
town of Sweden, Monroe County, they
have had a stone-crusher about three
years, anil have now finished, or have
stone on hand enough to finish, as much
as fifteen miles of road. The roads
where the crushed stone is laid wera
formerly almost impassable in fall and
spring; now a team can haul as much
* n tbo WOrs ^ time in spring as in sum
mer, and are so hard that a loaded wag
on will crush small stones, and where
the stone trade is worn smooth and
washed off by a hard shower it looks
like mosaic-work. The ciusher in
Sweden in the three years has cost but
a trifle for repairs. In the town beyond
Sweden they bought a crusher that
would crush larger stones, but is laid
up for repairs too often, and won’t do
so much work as the kind they use in
Sweden by long odds. I don’t know
where cither is made, or who they are
sold by. The town gets all the stone it
wanti free, and money is raised by tax
to hire men and teams to haul the stone
to the machine, and they are crushed
and spouted on to wagons furnished by
the road districts. In Sweden they
say limestone is best, but aay kind of
stone wilL do .—New York Tribune .
PROTECTION AGAINST FLIES.
The plague of flies touches a very ten
der spot—the pockctbook—for it causes
animals to lose flesh, or at least to rnako
less gain than they would otherwise.
By affording protection to the animals,
we save money as truly as we do by giv
ing them comfortable shelter. The best
protection for hogs is the wallow.
Though cattle have tough hides, flies
occasion them much discomfort, and it
is humane and is profitable to make a
smudge, The animals soon learn to
take advantage of the smoke.
Horses suffer greatly from flies on ac
count of a tenderer skin and sensitiva
nervous organization. Wnen we have
them at work, their struggles against
their tormentors arc annoying to us. It
is unpleasant to use animals, kicking,
biting and stamping at flies. For farm
teams the cheapest protection is leather
nets. With reasonable care these will
last for years. They should be cleaned
and oiled at least once a month while in
use, or the sweat of the animals will rap
idly rot them. They increase the warmth
of the animal as little as any efficient
protection. Cotton nets are a good pro
tection to the carriage horse, but are
not strong enough for farm work.
Those who canuot buy leathor nets
should get the coarsest gunny sacking.
This, being very open, does not much
heat the animal. The cover should
reach over the neck, with pockets to
cover the ears. These covers should ba
washed once a month while in use, and
when they are put away at tho en 1 of
fly time. Gnats infest the inside of
horses’ ears. Pure lard is a good pro
tection, applied once a day. The de
posit by the bot-fly of it3 eggs under the
jaw, makes many horses almost unman
ageable. A cloth can be tied to the
bridle in such a way as to protect the
jaw.
The legs of horses require protection
even more than their bodies. Flies
choose the legs, as the skin on these
parts is thinner and tho blood vessels
are nearer the surface. It i3 strango
that we do not oftener see the legs ol
tho animals protected, as the flies are
not much disturbed by stamping. Leg
gins from old overalli, or made ol
gunny sack, are good material, and the
man ashamed to drivo a team so pro
tected about bis farm lias far more false
pride than good sense. Leggins made
like the leather nets for the body are,
in the end, tho cheapest and can be
made by any harness maker .—American
Agriculturist.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTI59.
Pull up the pea vinet as soon as tho
crop is gathered; sow tho ground to
turnips; set out late cabbagci or
celery.
Clean bright fruit and berries sell the
best, and it is not dishonest to put them
up iu attractive shape, but have them
“pan out” as they look.
Leave the tobacco pipe outside of the
milk room. Better leave the man who
has been smoking it outside, too. Ilia
absence will not injure the flavor of the
butter a bit.
Neg’ect of milk in any particular
punishes the offender by a shrinkage of
quantity of cream, and at tho same time
does not seriously injure his neighbor,
who does better work.
A practical farmer at tho recent annual
meeting of the Vermont Dairymen's
Association, speaking on barn con
struction, gives four requirements in the
ideal barn; saving of plant food, pro
motion of animal health, saving of
labor and saving of coffin construction.
