Having everything in readiness to com mence your work, select a sunny day. Put every garment that you are going to pack out doors on the clothesline, and alter the pockets have been turned inside out, the garments whipped free from dust, let them hung for two or three hour» in the nun. Dress skirts will wrinkle lens if folded right Hide out. D t m im should be carefully folded in newspapers, each one separately, and placed in the drawers or trunks with a good sprinkling of fresh cloves between them. The newspapers must be pasted se curely to prevent the moth or any of bis tribe from entering. In folding men’s gar ments care should be exorcised. The sleeves should be filled with newspapers folded flat, and a small handful of cloves should be put in each pocket. If you do not wish to use newspapers, ask your grocer for a dozen or two of his largest sized manilla bags, such as one-eighth of a barrel of flour comes in. These are of course much easier to use than newspapers, ! as you do not have to paste but one small end. The garments can be carefully slipped in the bags, which can be used a great many seasons, only the small end being broken when the garments are removed. The use of tarred paper is very disagree able to most people, and clothea packed with It retain the repulsive odor for a long time after they are removed from contact with it or with the ill smelling tablets some times used. Newspapers, paper bags and cloves are just as beneficial in keeping the moths away as are the obnoxious odors caused by such agencies. When ready to pack winter millinery, visit a clothing store and obtain some strong and perfect bandboxes and after placing your bonnets and hats in them seal them airtight by pasting strips of paper about the cover. Carpet bugs delight in feasting on birds’ wings and millinery ornaments, and it is well to secure the articles. Fasten muff and fur boxes in the same way. Moths prefer garments that are filled with dust, and for this reason every house keeper should use extra care in thoroughly brushing everything and in throwing away all discarded articles which would other wise afford nests for the pests, says Good Housekeeping, in which is found the fore going useful advice.

Cxmaltjr. It isn’t fa ir to give a Detroit g irl away possibly, but truth w ill out even in a newspaper. Detroit has one among its countle«s pretty girls who was in th e ' country in February, and one day she happened ont toward the cow lot abont m ilking time and was asking the man several questions. “ W h y don’t yon milk that cow?” she asked, pointing to one in an adjoining lot. “ Because she’s dry, miss.” “ Dry?” "Y e s , miss. She’s been dry for two Weeks." “ Yon cruel wretch"' she exclaimed. “ W h y don’t yon give her some water?” An d the man turned his face to the cow house and shook with emotions he could ipot suppress.— Detroit Free Press, “ W h y do the chickens die?” is an ever recurring question, especially with be ginners. Successful poultrymen believe that much o f the m ortality o f the poul try yard is due to the improper care and feeding o f the little chicks. W ith a view to affording tim ely assistance, w e here give some helpful hints from a number of successful poultry breeders. The au thorities are generally agreed that the chicks should be le ft alone when they are hatching out and not disturbed w ith at tempts to feed them for 24 hours after hatching. As a rule the first feed given is a little hard boiled egg chopped fine, with fine bread crumbs. The Feathered W orld, in an article on chicken feeding, says that the chick can A t th e L o s t M o m en t» not too soon be supplied with food that w ill require the grinding power o f the gizzard to be properly brought into ac tion. This authority claims that even baby chicks should l>s fed upon a sanded floor. There has been much dispute as to how soon dry grain or cracked grain should be fed to chicks. The authority quoted advises that when chicks are young broken wheat or oatmeal should be given along with other feed. W righ t, the w ell known English au thority, says that the best food for Stage Manager (to amateur villain )— chickens, irrespective o f price, is oat meal. H e claims that after the first Remember, Mr. Shanks, yon conceal meal o f bread crumbs and egg no food yourself in this trunk. is equal to it i f coarsely ground and only moistened enough so that it w ill remain crumbly. Farm Poultry, com menting on this, says that oatmeal, ir respective o f price, is an economical food; that it has ¡»aid by actual experi ment to make it two-fifths o f the food of chicks from shell to maturity. Many progressive breeders give stale bread crumbs to alternate with rolled oats till the birds are ready fo r heavier feed, with boiled m ilk where there is any bowel trouble. A good ration for the chicks after a week old consists o f tw o parts bran and one part cornmeal and ground wheat, with a little lueat scraps added.

Thomas defines disease, “ Disease is any departure from a state o f health.” I t is hoped that in the discussion of this question the w riter may be able to show the thoughtful reader that alcohol produces bodily conditions which are fairly covered by the above definition. Careful scientific experiment and inves tigation have proved beyond the shadow o f doubt that alcohol cannot be digested by the human stomach. A fte r doing its damaging work upon the mucous membranes o f that organ i it passes directly into the circulation in | its crude form. Here it comes in con- j tact with the oxygen which is taken into | the blood through the respiration. The combination o f this oxygen with the car bon so largely contained in alcohol pro- ( duces heat. Heat being correlated to force, the one who receives alcohol into the system is made tem porarily to feel strong. Every power o f his nature is stimulated to a high pitch. I f only suf ficient alcohol were received into the system and that in snch a gradual man ner that the carbon which it contains could be consumed in this burning when it is combined w ith the oxygen which is in the blood, com paratively little dam age would result from its introduction in to the system. The amount o f oxygen received into the system during 24 hours is said to be capable o f consuming the carbon in six ounces o f alcohol. In order that this amount o f carbon be consumed by oxy gen and the other poisonous elements in this substance eliminated from the sys tem it must necessarily be taken in ex trem ely small quantities reaching over the whole period o f 24 hours. Drinking men do not take alcohol in this way. Large quantities are drunk at a single sitting. A fte r the stimulating influence re ferred to above has been experienced, the next damaging result o f this poison upon the system is to coagulate or hard en the albuminous substance o f the body. In these albuminous substances are the secret forces o f physical life. To destroy them means disease and death. I f the reader w ill kindly take a glass and into it drain off the white o f an egg and add thereto a small quantity o f al cohol, he w ill have a beautiful illustra tion o f the thought which I wish to give him. A t once the white o f the egg will assume much the same appearance that it would when first beginning to boil in water. This same process is the one which' 1 wish to indicate as taking place in the albuminous substance so abundant in the newly made tissues in the capillary circulation o f the one who drinks alco hol in any form. The delicate atoms of our life which nature has wrought out o f the substances taken into our systems through the digestive and assimilative organs are destroyed at their very birth. The atoms which are a little older grown and are ready to be cast off as worn out material, and hence foreign substances, are by this same deadly poison so hard ened that nature lias no pow er to elim inate them through the ordinary chan nels— viz, the respiration and unconscious perspiration; hence we see the tw ofold and deadly power o f this demon. It not only destroys the delicate atoms o f ne n life which nature gives us during every hour o f assimilation, but it forestalls the cleansing functions o f natnre’s processes by which worn out or broken down tis sue is eliminated from the system.— N a tional Temperance Herald.

Cows Are [>.horned u d T a m ed l a m l a the Stable* The R ural N e w Y o rk er addrssssd the follow in g questions to the persons w ho won prises for dairy batter at the lUinota Dairymen s association: 1. What breed ot cows do yon keep? E How were they fed snd cared fort 8. W a* the cream separated or raised by the gravity process? A Give an account of the process of making this exhibition batter. 5. Do you produce all your own fodder and grain? In your opinion, would ensilage and clover alone hare made a perfect dairy ration without extra grain? A What, In your opinion, is tha outlook for good dairying? G eorge H. Baldwin, o f Mendon, Ilia., answers as below: 1. M y cows are grade Jerseys. 8. A ll are dehorned and l o o « i n « stable 80 by 80 feet w ith a drivew ay through the whole length, by which the food is de livered to them directly from the wagon. They are o f course w e ll bedded, and the manure is hauled directly to the fields. They are fed a liberal ration o f wheat bran, Indian com and occasionally a little oil meal. F or roughness they get early cut com fodder drilled in one grain to the foot, fed long w ith the ears on, and all the clover and tim othy hay they w ill eat. I form erly fed com and cob meal, bnt find by experience that it pays better to feed ear com ent fine and let the hog» fo llo w so there w ill be no waste. They receive a liberal ra tion, for with the right kind o f dairy cows it pays to pnt in feed and take ont butter. 8. I use the Cooley creamer or submerged process for raising cream. I prefer it to the separator from the fact that it saves labor and expense, and practically gets all o f the cream. A sep arator requires a skilled mechanic to keep it in order. 4. The batter was churned in a 90-gallon BatcheUeris chum n in by horsepower and washed in the chum when in the granular state —about the size o f small shot— un til the water ran clear, spread out In a thin layer on a large sized lever butter worker, allowed to drain for a few minutes, salted one ounce to the pound, worked only enongh to thoroughly mix the salt, packed in a tub and stopped directly to the exhibition at Sycamore. 5. I grow the fodder com and hay and buy tbe ear com , bran and oilmeal. En silage and clover hay would be a w ell balanced ration, bnt it would hardly be rich enough for dairy cows unless the ensilage had a good deal o f w ell matured com on it wSen it was pnt in the silo. 6. I think that the outlook fo r first class dairymen is as promising as for thorn follow in g the line o f any other agricul tural pursuit “ There to always room at the top,” Cow* and Calx««. Do not be in a hurry to get the cows out to grass, but be sure that they have good hay at the bam and a few roots i f there are any. I f there are not, a little linseed meal w ill have the effect o f keep ing the digretive organs in an active con dition, which is abont all that the roots could do. It is better that tbe c a l v « should come along now fo r thoee cows that are to be milked in the summer than a little later, after the cows get into pasture. I f any do come now, keep them warm and see that they have enough to rat. Do not try to raise any that are not worth raising and do not allow an extra price o f a dollar or tw o to decide the matter o f selling or not selling to the butcher. The dollar's difference now w ill be more than counterbalanced by $10 or $15 difference in valne three y e a n from now. A good formed and good looking calf, from a good cow^gid sired by a good bull that is thoroughbred, or even very nearly so, ought to be w orth raising. U a heifer, see that it has w ell funned teats, not too dose together, and that it has the makings in form and shape, if not in color, o f the cow that has proven good and the characteristic marks o f the breed to which the b oll belong». Snch a one ought in three years to make a good cow unless the cross has been a too vio lent one— which should be avoided—and would undoubtedly be much more prof itable to raise than something that would not sell for half as mnch at 8 weeks old. Four or five dollars difference in the cost o f a calf may seem considerable, bnt it la not much upon the cost o f a cow. For bulls do not raise any bnt thor oughbred stock o f the breed best adapted to the purpose for which the cows are kept, whether it be the selling o f milk or the making o f batter or chews. It la better to pay $50 for a 8-daya-old calf and raise it to get something that w ill Improve the whole herd than to pay $15 fur one that is going to reduce the stand ard. It is true that there are some who •ell milk and do not care to raise a « I f who think they can use any kind o f a ball, bat there remains the fact that such p a r t i« might find it more profita ble to raise c a l v « from their beat oowa by a good bull than to trust to the chances o f being able to b oy a good cow when they want one.—American Culti vator. D a iry and O l a « iv y . “ Reeond crop sorghum trill kill cows” la the verdict of experienced dairy farm ers. Cows cannot safely be turned Into wet. grow ing sorghum when they are hungry any mure than into a field o f w et clover when they are hungry. The effect issimltor. They must be seasooed to the sorghum as to the clover. Ensilage w ill be fed fiaattfally to cows at the great dairy test o f the Co lumbian exposition, sad th * silos for the purp.ee sre all ready.
