FARM, AND HOUSE.
TOPICS OF INTEREST TO THE
FARMER AND HOUSEWIFE.
Little Things.
The sum total pf life, it lias well been
said, is made Up of little things.. The
businessman, farmer or housewife,who
has the cast of mind which enables them
to’ grasp all the details of their calling,
: is apt to succeed. The farmer who cares
for only the corn and wheat-crop may be
a success as a producer of grain, but
grain producing is a small part of tlie
business of farming, ; On the average
farm there are . the horses, cows, sheep
and fowls,-all of which need attention to
secure their health, comfort and pros
perity. The proceeds |rom the live stock
of our farms amount to more than de
rived from tlie sale of corn and wheat.
The man who bolts his meals and is off
•to the field may have tne -naiue of being
a hard worker. And indeed he is. For
surely he makes his money by ihe hardest
labor. While he is devoting his energy
to the lesser he is unwisely neglecting
the greater. He uses his muscles more
than ho does his brains. From the re
sults produced he evidently needs to at
tend to the development of the latter
more than to'the former. . Hundreds of
nsmall matters go to waste on a farm for
want of thought.—Ben: Perley Poore, ,
Clean Milk.
The good dairyman is one who has a
care for small things. No single item in
the whole range of dairy practice should*’
be considered too small for his engross
ing pare. 1 The point where this principle
applies with great force is where this
delicate white fluid first makes its appear
ance amid the ,filth and rubbish of the
cow stable. Verily it is symbolical of
tbe first appearance of purity on earth,
when the humble manger held the,
world’s promise. No surroundings, how
ever crude, should be allowed to con
taminate the white purity of milk. This
ban' only’ be accomplished With the
most minute Care. Various devices have
been invented to compass this end. On
the island of Jersey a can is used shaped
,something like an urn, with a cloth over,
the narrow mouth. Into the sag of the
cloth is placed a clean sea shell, into
which the.stream of milk is directed to
prevent wearing holes irfthe cloth: Then
the -milk is strained immediately, and the;
least possible surface is exposed to catch
dirt. There is in this country a Yankee
invention consisting of,a long spout to a
pail, and on the end of it is a mouth to
receive the milk, while the milker sits on
the top of the pail. The trouble with
these devices is that they present so small
a surface for uecfeiyitig the stream that
the milke^ often misses it and wastes the
milk. The best plan we have seen for
clean milking is to first have the cow
well bedded in perfectly ary material."
’Do not;allow any water to come hear the
udder. Before beg'nniilg to milk take
a long-haired, soft, brush, and clean the
side of the cow and the. udder thorough
ly, then hold the. pail between the knees
'iiu-i i.i I n v 1,"The; milk .should of
course be jtrainecl/immediately upon re
moval from the cow, slid when taken to
" £ i|pl it sheihl;,djpic.htrftin.ed, s agam. It
goes'; .without' saying, that- scrupulous
cafe should fce taken to- see that all the|
milking utensils are perfectly clean, and
that they have been Well aired and sunned
between milkings. These' little\.things
make up the balance sheet between profit
and loss in the dairy.
Pruning.
One of. our chief aims M to form an
evenly balanced, open, symmetrical
head, and this can be accomplished bet
ter by a little watchfulness during the
season of growth than at any other time.
If, for instance, two branches start so
closely together that one or the other
must be remo ved in the spring ^pruning,
why let the superfluous one grow at all?
It is just so much wasted effort-. By
rubbing o£E the pushing bud or tender
shoot the strength of the tree is thrown
into the branches that we wish to re
main. Thus the eye and hand of the
master become to the young tree what in
struction, counsel, and admonition are to
a growing boy,’with the difference that
the tree is easily and certainly managed
when taken in time.
Trees left to themselves tend to form
too much woqd, like the grape-vine

There is no ‘‘best” bit for a horse’s
mouth. If there was such a:v;;Oae there
would be no other used. The , kind of
bit-for any horse must be determined by
use. Try until one is found that suits
hors© and driver, and that is the best lor
them. ,
A good appetite is an important factor
in making a good cow. If a calf is dain
ty dispose of it early if the fault is not
cured. Accustoming a ypung animal to
a variety of food is the best way to de
velop a good appetite.
A nurseryman of Union' county, Penn.,
claims to be able to , grow ; apples
without cores, Ilis theory is to bend the
twig when the size of a small eider, and
insert Ihe top in the ground. When the
top takes root sufficiently cut it off near
the butt, and stake it up perpendicularly.
If a plow oi* other steel implement has
become very rusty, make a mixture of
half.a pint of'oil of vitriol poured! slowly
into a quart of -water,and apply to the
rusted metal. Wash off with water,
and scour in the usual manner. It is bet
ter, however, not-to let any implement
get rusty. '
Tobacco is a rioh and quick-acting fer
tilizer. One of its advantages is that it
is repulsive to most insects, and it has a
flavor and odor which even the malodor
ous squash bug cannot stomach. Itis also
.said to be a good* mulch to proteef currant
bushes from the worm which destroys
their leaves.
Dr. J. A. Sewell, of the Colorado uni
versity, has bben making; experiments,
testing the blood of hogs affected with
hog cholera that he finds contains mi
crobes, which are 1 not present in the
blood of healthy hogs. He is cultivating
the microbe for purposes of inoculation
and expects important results. :
If 100 hens are to be kept on one. place
they should bebdivided into three, or pds-
sibly four lots, each with Its own house
and yard. They must lie fed separately
and receive four times as much attention
as one small flock would receive 1 . In this
way only can a large number of fowls b©
made permanently profitable., :
The proper way to prepare the pelts
for pulling the wool is.thus, stated by an
.expert: Sprinkle, the wet skins. On the
flesh side with air-slaked, lime; lay two
'skins together on the flesh side and pile
mp the pelts,, in aheap., In a few days
the- heap will sweat quite freely; when
the wool parts from the skin easily and
may be stripped off very readily. The
secret is worth knowing and remember
ing.

grown. Vermin attacks the sickly,
starved, animals. It seems to be the law
of nature that the insect enemies ! attack
the weakest plants and animals. Hence,
we may in a large measure escape dam-
ifge; or loss from insects by kbeping up
vigorous growths of crops and-animals,; “
, Much will be gained and nothing lost
by spreading, green manure from: /the
wagonyBOrly, before the j ground becomes
so soft. that, it will.poach w;itii the tramp
ing of teams arid wagons. The, practice
of patting it in heaps involves'double la
bor, beside making it almost-impossible
to spread it evenly. If'every particle of
manure is removed from the heaps the,
land beneath the n will still be, the rich
est from the fertilizing material that has
washed down.
One reason why so much poor butter is
made is bebause tjhose who' make it have
not the conveniences for doing the work
in the best manner. Only two or three
• (i are kept, the butter money belongs
to the-wife, and the husband, who holds
the purse strings, thinks it not worth
while to spend much to make dairying
successful. But the money for a new
binder or mower is quickly forthcoming.

sun can shine on it.
When purchasing meat, always have -
the trimmings sent home, as.they help to
make soups and sauces. ; Every ,scrap of
meat, and bone left from roasts and broils
should be saved for the soup pot. .
. .. Meat should not be placed direetly on
the ice, as the wafer draws out.the juices-
Always place it in a pan, and this may. be

If you are obliged to use a gridiron or;
frying-pan that has previously been used
for fish, and still has tbe pungent odor of
the fish clinging to. it, you can remove, it
instantly’by first heating it and then rub
bing it over with a\bit of onion. , The
onion will absorb the flavor of th£ fish,
but will not leave the least disagreeable;
taste of its own.
If, from any cause, butter becomes
rancid, to each pint of it add one table
spoon of salt and one of soda and mix
well, then add one pint of cold water,
and set on the fire until it comes to- the
boiling point. Now set away to cool,
and when.cool: and hard, take off the
butter in a cake. "Wipe dry and put away
for Cooking purposes. It will be perfect
ly sweet.
Wax can be taken out of carpets, by
several very simple methods. Lay a thick
piece o'f. blotting paper over tlje wax and.
apply a hot;iron to it; .the paper will ab
sorb the wax that is melted by the heat.
If, in doing this, any dark traces should
remain on the carpet, rub a little benzo
line carefully on, drying.the same with a
-cloth. Another method is to drop a few
drops of boiling water immediately on
the, spots and dry after with a cloth ;
care must be taken that the colors in the
parpet will stand hot water. Green is the
most dangerous color to fear.

Protecting Their Rights. .
Probably no concern in the counti-y has ad
hered more strictly to the determination to
achieve success bv the liberal use of printer’s
ink than has the Brown Chemical Company of
Baltimore. Md. 'Starting business about .five
years ago, they have expended over $1,£03,COO
in the preparation and circnlatir n of printed
matter, more than half of which' has been paid
for newspaper advertising. All this has been
done to make known the virtues of their cele-
1 bra ted Brown’s Iron B tters,
As might he expected, very large sales have
re-u ted from this enormous outlay. In, fact,
Brown’s Iron Bitters is about as staple in many !
drug stores as is -flour at the corner grocery.
Like all good things. Brown’s Iron Bitiers has
been largely imitated. T ,ero. are unjciupu-
lous manufacturers Who cater to just this sort
of trade, and some dealers are so lacking in
principle, that because a greater profit can he
made on fraudulent/than ,:on genuine medi
cines, they are willing to delude the public by
pushing off other Tonic Medicines in place of
ibe genuine Brown’s Iron Bitters, which is.un
doubtedly one of the purest and best medicines
known. These frauds have been practiced so -
extensively, that, the Company, finding, ail
other means inadequate, have at last deter
mined' to try. a little cold law to put a stop
to them, and suits for heavy-damages have
therefore: been commenced: We wish the
Brown Chemical Company every success in
their suits,, as it is iiigii time those; who
have'pluck enough to tarry large enterprises
such as theirs to success, should be protected,
from those who live, not by their own genius
and effort, but by copying and counterfeiting
things that have been made standard and val
uable by others.

head of a tfee .is like a thicket. The
growth of unchecked branches follows
the terminal , bud, thus producing I
long naked reaches of wood devoid of
ftuit. spurs. Therefore the need of
shortening, in, so that side branches may
be developed. When the reader remem
bers that every dormant bud in early spring
is a possible branch, and that ■ even the;
immature buds at the axil of the leaves

the young tree is under his control.
These simple facts &»d principles are
worth far more to the intelligent man
than any number of arbitrary rules as.to
pruning. .Reason and observation soon

in March, the season when trees are
usually trimmed. ’
Beyond shortening in leading branches
and cutting out crossing and interfering
boughs, so as to keep the head symmet

"fruit tree, the authorieties recommend
early June as the best season for the
operation.—j©. P. Roe, in Harper's.
: Nothing will purify and keep a stable
from odors as the free use of dry earth,
and every ohe keeping horses or cattle

the ! hand, to be used daily. A few shovel
fuls of earth scattered over the floor after
cleaning will render the air of the apart

of the season’s manure - pile may be
largely, increased by the free use‘of such
absorbents. The strength of the gases
and liquids absorbed is retained; and is
the very essence of good manure.
Farm and Garden, Notes.
If you happen to have wood ashes the
kitchen garden is a good place to apply
it as a top-dressing. If leached, for mak-
■ing soft soap it is still valuable.
Never feed corn-stalks uncut. Cut and
placed in a fairly tight wooden box with
a pailful or more of hot water, thus be
ing steamed,, they make excellent Jo-: d
Even for manure making, cutting is far
better.
The rule for pruning and transplanting
is to cut in proportion to apparent injury
to roots. If not much worse for re
moval, cut but little of the top away.
Proper pruning will save many trees from
. death.

May Children Go Barefoot?
’ This question is every now and again
proposed for discussion; and, when it is
so, wa are compelled to give the same
answer. On physiological grounds.it i$
^manifestly a sound practice -to accustom
children to develop the circulatory and
muscular systems of. the;, lower extremi
ties, precisely as those of the hand are
developed, by free use and exposure. It
is not supposed to b3 either necessary or
desinabhs. that; children should wear
gloves for hygienic purposes. When the
hands of little folk are, thus decorated,'
the parental idea is confessedly to give
them what is conventionally regarded as
a genteel appearance. No one thinks, a
child ought 'to be 'protected from the-,;
f weather so. far,, as its hands are
concerned. On the contrary, it is m og-
nized. that the upi;er extremities shoui.l
be kept warm by exercise and habitual
exposure.
Precisely the same view holds good
with regard to, the lower extremities. ;.
Contact with bodies that abstract heat,
even mote than the earth ab tracts it. is
an almost constant . condition I child
life. In short, it is entif.eiy.in deference
to fashion and. the usages of so.biety that
children wear foot coverings. There is
rnueh to be said in favor of a more natural
practice. Thefootis an organ of wondrous
complexity, regarded as a bony and muscu
lar apparatus. It is, moreover, provided
with nerves and blood vessels Of especial
intricacy. The softest and most flexible
shoe, to a very great extent, and a boot
almost entirely, r '.duces this organ to the
character of a jointed block with little
self movement. Obviously this reduc
tion must detract not only from the effi
ciency of the foot, but of the organism
as a wholSL If the blo;;d vessels of the
foot and leg are tully developed, as they
can only be when the foot is habitually'
exposed, the quantity of blood which the
lower extremities can be made to receive
and, if need- be, attract far a time, is .
very considerable.
IVe’can only say. that children, who are
allowed to go barefooted enjoy almost
perfect immunity from the : danger of
“told"’ by accidental chilling of thefett,
and they are altogether healthier and
happier than those who, in obedience to
the usages pf social-life, have their lower
extremities permanently, invalided, and;
so to say, carefully swathed and put
away in rigid cases. As regards the
poorer, classes of children, there can be
no sort of doubt in the mind of any one
that it is incomparably better that they
should go barefooted than wear boots
that let in the wet and stockings that are
nearly always damp and foui.— London

Tlie Biggest Steel Rail Mill.
Describing a big rail factory near Chi
cago, the Herald of that city; says This.
America’s greatest steel rail mill, occu
pies 100 acres of ground. There are fif
teen buildings, with nearly eight acres
under roof. One hundred electric lights
illuminate the grounds and buildings at
night. . Every year 250 steamers discharge
their cargoes of ore at the dock, 300,000
tons in all. Every year 23,000 cars of
coke, .making, with their engines, the
equivalent of a solid train 160 miles long,
are brought from Connellsville and
emptied into the stock house. Every
year 11,000 cars ol coal, equal, with their
locomotives, to a train seventy-five miles
long, come from Ohio, Indiana and Illi
nois, are pushed into the yards and there
emptied. Every year 3,000 cars of lime
stone are received from Cicero, and every
year eight vessel loads of spiegeleisen
are imported from England. Every year
150,000 tons of steel rails, or enough to
lay a complete railway track from Chi
cago to Utah, are shipped in 7,500 cars,
equal to a solid train of more than fifty
miles long. Fourteen locomotives are
owned by tlie company, and constantly
employed in and about the works. The
cost' of this plant was $3,000,000, and
the annual out-put, at preseat prices, at
nearly $6,000,000.

Scrofula of Lungs.
I am now 49 years old, and have suffered for the
last fifteen years with a lung trouble. I have spent
thousands of dollars to arrest the march of this dis
ease : but temporary relief was all that i obtained.
I was unfit for any manual labor for several years
A friend, strongly recommended the use of Swift s
■Specific (S. S, S:X claiming that he himself had been
greatly benefitted by Its. use in some lunx troub.es.
I resolved to try it. The results are remarkable. My
cough has left me, my strength has returned, and I
weigh sixty pounds more than I ever did in my life.
, It has been three years since I stopped the use of the
medicine, but I have had no return of the disease,
and there are no pains or weakness felt In my lungs.
I do the hardest kind of work. T. J. Holt.
