FARM AND DARDEN. CONTROL OF QUA l.TTT. v,! 'the quality of butter may be-influ- ’ diced by tbo food, according to somo experiments conducted ut the Maine Agricultural Experiment Station. The milk from five cows was analyzed and the effect of the feed on the quality of the butter noted during three periods. The practical fact which the experi ment makes evident is that a mixture of cottonseed meal or linseed meal with corn meal ami wheat bran, espec ially the cottonseed meal mixturV, pro duced butter less easily melted and of a more solid appearance than did the peas and barley. This indicates that the tendency of butter to melt during hot weather may be controlled to a large extent by tho kind of food the cows are getting.—[American Farmer. EFFECT OF WIDE TIKES OX WAG OSft. It is a mistaken belief that wide tires increase tho draught of a wagon. On the contrary, they reduce the draught considerably, for one reason because they prevent the wheels from cutting down into the soft ground. The ease to a team is fully twenty-five per cent., according to the tests made by scientific men, aud corroborated by practical persons who have used them. The relief to the roads from wear is so much that wagons with tires five inches in width are charged half as much toll only as those with tires two inches wide. In fact, a wide tire acts as a roller to keep the roads smooth and hard, and a smooth, hard road is so much easier on a team as to make the difference of one-lialf in its favor as against a soft, muddy road, ora soft plowed field. Thus, for farm use tlie wide-tired wagon is a great economy.— [New York Times. SWEET TEA CULTURE. If the first essentials in sweet pea culture have been complied with— that is, early and deep planting and fairly good soil—only about two things are necessary for future success: plenty of water and a wholesale pluck ing of blossoms, writes a correspon dent. A row less than forty feet long takes all of the washday water, in ad dition to copious draughts between times: the warmer the weather the more water aud bloom from early July until frost is the result. I have grown sweet peas for many years, and my best success with them in this cli mate (New Jersey) has come from fall planting of the seed. The ground is usually in better condition at that time than in the spring, und what en riching is to be done can be done to better advantage then. I sow late in October, just before there are indica tions of a tight freeze up, and cover with a heavy mulch of coarse straw, leaves or salt hay.—[New York Tri bune. DANGERS OF DAIRYING. Dairying is becoming as dangerous a calling as one can engage in. Separ ators burst occasionally and injure every one near them besides tearing out the sides of the house. These tilings happen frequently enough to make things exciting. A new danger has sprung up, a foreman of a cream ery in Wisconsin is in danger of be coming sightless by the bursting of a test bottle of sulphuric acid, while op erating a milk testing machine. This occurrence happened at the Black Earth creamery, and the report that informs us of it states that the man will lose one eye, and the other is en dangered. This is a sad accident, and one that leads us to assume was caused hy the use of an inferior article. There should be some regulation gov erning the standard of all machinery necessary in dairying. The advent of the creamery has made dairying large ly a manufacturing art, and the differ out States have enacted strict regula tions for the protection of employees against unusual risks in other depart aients of manufacture. This super vision should be extended to dairying, that the risks attending bursting separ ators and acid bottles may not grow strong enough to wantonly menace life and limb or defy regulation.— [American Dairyman. destroying lichens on pear trees. The presence of lichens on pear Hees is at least objectionable, if not absolutely harmful, and many 'means have been devised by fruit growers to rid thoir trees of the growths. As a gt'mrtti thmg, |he various washes have u0 * desired effect, but experi ffientfi Wade luSt year, under the aus pices of the Department of Agriculture, and the personal direction of M. B. M nit* 1 , special agent, show how pimple itis. In large orchards in Southeast ern Virginia, many of the trees were. * ''.I ,• * liueate a AMtli • _ grout masses of « li chens, foliaeeous and crustuceous, some, adhering to tho rough, ex foliating bark, and others to the smooth, green bark of small limbs. In the experiments, four fungicides were used, but only one gave any good re sults. This one was Bordeaux mix turo, ■ .which is now so .well known for its effects in preventing many plant diseases. The formula used was: Six pounds of copper-sulphate, four pounds of fresh lime, and eleven gallons of water, instead of the usual twenty-two or forty-fpur gallops: This was applied* to the trucks a.n(l larger branches with a wliitewusVTu-usli, and its effect was almost immediately apparent. The lia chens turned yellow, and within three weeks—probably in less than that time —the lichens were dead.. Later experi ments showed that just as’ effective re sults were obtained by spraying with an ordinary spraying machine. Care should be taken to thoroughly wet the branches. When eau celeste was used, the results were not satisfactory. — f Am erican Agriculturist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Sunflower seed will often induce lay ing. Bowel disease in summer is a sign of lice. Parched oats are excellent for the hens. Green clover is valuable for the lime it contains. A warm mash is often relished by the poultry. Bats are worse enemies to chickens than the family cat. It is the regular systematic care for the chicks that tells. Shelter should be provided against the cold and the damp. If the hens are fat, linseed meal should not be given them. A patch of grain sown where the chickens can help themselves will be of great value. Whitewash should be liberally ap plied to the poultry house. Keep the chicks off damp floors. Keep a daily account of tbe receipts and , expenses of , „ the poultry, , and , know , whether they pay or not. Broken flint is largely used by poul try keepers in neighborhoods where gritty substances are scarce. . Success with poultry generally de pends upon good food, good water, good quarters and good care. Buckwheat can be grown on land that is not suitable for other grains, and honey made from it finds a ready sale. A common earthenware gallon milk crock is a good drinking vessel for fowls. It will not rust and is easily kept clean, Chickens can be cured of the gapes by dropping down their throats a lump of camphor as large as can be swallow ed with ease. Every hive of bees that does not contain a good, fertile queen is in dan ger of being robbed, and must bo looked after. Care should be exercised with the newly- set fruit trees. Do not allow the soil to bake or crust too close around the stem. If a tree is allowed to overbear, its vitality is so greatly taxed that tbe next season only a small and inferior crop will be harvested. Setting requires health and endur ance. Plump and hearty hens should be chosen as mothers and well fed at regular intervals, Wheat is an excellent egg-prodneing f ot) j and will also make young fowls grovr rapidly. There are times when the relative values of wheat and of pou i t ry products make such feeding profitable. A Whole Day Apart.

Theatrical people know that oil cleans, the skin bettor than water. Generally other people do not. If ac tresses undertook to get their niakefip off with water, they would need soft soap and a scrub brush to do it, aud the skiu would inevitably come with it. They used once cocoabutter. Now they use cocoa oil, which is a better prepa ration of the same thiug. Drug stores keep it. Some keep it fresh, and some keep it rancid. Take care not to patronize the second clans, aud in’ cocoa oil you will have the most de lightful of all emollients for the -oil bath. If you want to see how effective it is, come in from a railway journey on a hot day, when the windows have been up and you have bad as much benefit of the smoke and soot as the fireman. Take the most vigorous bath you can devise or endure, then spread some cocoa oil ou the face and rub it off. The blackened towel will tell the tale of failure for the bath and tri umph for the oil.— Boston Gazette. Last M'ord. A young girl once heard a bit of wisdom from the lips of a very aged woman—a woman who bad rounded the full term of ninety years, and with eyes still bright and clear looked out upon the inrolling waters of eternity. The girl was impressed by the empha sis with which the venerable dame said to her, “Bessie, never insist on having the last word. ” The determination to have the final word leads to more quarrels and more bitterness of feeling at home than almost anything else in domestic life. The fact is, that one may so control her tongue and her eyes that she may allow her opponent the pleasure of this coveted conclud ing thrust and yet placidly retain her own opinion, and in the homely, col loquial parlance of the upcounty, where one finds strong-willed people living together in great peace with the most pronounced diversity of charac teristics, “do as she’s a mind to.” -: Dainty Splashers.
