A mixture of five bushels of dry dirt and one pound of carbolato of lime, added tei the sink or closet as re quired, will convert the whole into a valuable manure, that can bo handled as easily as that niaJo in the barn yard. Prof. Roberts, of Cornell University, says : "A cow that makei six poumls of butter a week on cold water will make seven pounds if the water is warmeel." Ho further says that "cows will drink one-third more when the water is warmed to 80 degrees than thoy will at 32 degrees, ami that the milk will increase one-fifth without deterioration." The conceit is often knocked out of tjio dairyman who considers himself a hrst-rate juelgo of a cow, when ho be gins to weigh her milk anel churn it into butter. It is very rare that the true inwardness of a cow can bo as certained, and her real dairy value known, until these tests are applied. Weigli the milk, and keep tho record. Appearances tre deceptive.

Three or onr good sprouts are enough for the best yield of market able potatoes of even tho most prolific varieties. Small yitlders, like some ol the eaily sorts, may do better to have only ono or two sprouts in a place, putting the hills closer together. Too many sprouts mean a gieat number ol ve;ry small potttoes and few lit. for market. It will often pay to thin them out if too numerous at first.
