The increased u-e of whiskey for lame back rheumatism is causing con siderable discussion among the medical fraternity. It is an almost infallible cure when mixed with certain other ingredients and taken properly. The following formula is effective: "To one half pint of good whiskey add one ounce of Toris Compound and one ounce Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound. Take in tablespoonful doses before each meal and before retiring." Toris compound is a product of the laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceutical Co., Chicago, but it as well as the other ingredients can be had from any good druggist. No Apolomten to Slake.

The fact that there litis been an Increase jkt capita of the consumption of milk and n decrease of cows per capita of the population Indicates that there has been nn improvement In the quality of the dairy cows of the country. In the decade of 181)0 to 1!K)0 the average production of every dairy cow showed nn Increase of 1,(XK) pounds of milk, or a commercial gain of $211, 000,000. Yet with this improvement ad mitted, there are many dairies that are b Ing operated at a loss. The life of a dairy cow Is estimated at seven years and her annual depreciation represents one-seventh of her full value, which is taken Into consideration In computing the profits of the herd. If the dairy man would ascertain If his herd Is pay ing a profit he needs to charge for the help to operate It, the cost of the feed, the interest on the Investment and tLe normal depreciation of the value of the cows. All these items enter Into fixed operating charges and need to be deducted from the gross receipts of the dairy before profits can be computed. The receipts of the dairy should not only pay the operating expenses and fixed charges, but also leave a liberal balance for profit. Homemade t'nltlinjce Cutter. A cheap and easily made cabbage and root cutter Is shown in the cut. Take two 12-incli boards and nail them strongly together. With dividers de scribe a circle, then saw out and mark In quarters. Cut four slots 7 inches long on a slant, as shown by dotted lines, so the cabbage will fall through easily. Next cut two circles 4 Inches In diameter. Nail one' to the large wheel on the hack and leave the other loose on the shaft to act as a bearing. Make a frame to admit the wheel, leaving 2 inches clear, and just wide enough sn the knives do not strike the side. Make a top over the wheel, and put n hopper on the opposite side from the crank. The knives are 8 Inches long and can be made from an old buck saw and ground down sharp, with a bevel on one side. Screw these on tlie ROOT CUTTER. wheel at a slant according to the thick ness the cabbage is wanted. A square hole should be cut through the center of the wheel for the shaft. Farm and Homo. Time for Onls I.nnil. An application of l.oco pounds of lime per acre was practically as effi cient in case of oats as an application of .,0H.) pounds In tests made at the New Jersey station. In the ease of clover the larger application gave the belter results. Lime in the form of carbonate produced more dry matter than nitrogen and ash burned lime. The results of the studies of nitrogen fixation were quite Irregular, but agree In general In indicating that the addi tion of fertilizer materials increased nitrogen fixation and that carbonate of lime favored nitrogen fixation to a greater extent than burned lima American Iilmlm(cer Cheene. It Is now claimed that the United States makes just as good llmburger cheese ns does the province In IM glum where it originated. The Ameri can method Is to" take a piece of a calf's stomach and set it away in a warm place in a can of whole milk. In about forty minutes the curdling mes3 is pounded and then the whey pressed out Afterward forms are filled and further drainage permitted. Salt is rubbed on the outside until it becomes slippery ; then the cheese is set away in the cellar to ripen for a month or two and the germs do the rest Tobacco Growers Combine. The Union Tobacco Society, repre senting tobacco-growing Interests In Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee and Wisconsin, with estimated assets of $30,000,000, has been organized. The purpose of the organization is said to be to protect the tobacco growers from a minimum price, nnd the consumer from a maximum scale. The interests of the growers in the States named will he pooled and the tobacco sold through a Board of Directors. Calres' Drains. Wash the brains carefully and cut each pair Into four pieces, taking away all bits of fiber and skin. Rinse well, wipe dry and dip each piece first in beaten egg, then In cracker crumbs, then In egg and again in cracker crumbs and fry In hot fat Around the Dairy. There must he no guesswork about i feeding the calf. The stomach or tuo young calf Is easily ruined by slipshod methods of feeding. Think of this when tempted to feed It milk that Is too hot or too cold In a bucket that Is not ns clean nnd sweet as It should he. Milk that sticks to the sides of the pall and becomes sour Is a bad propo sition, ns It may cause nn attack of the scours. This trouble means n break In the calf's growth, perhaps a stuided calf, and. in the end an animal of little value. Do not oblige the cows to bunk about the straw pile until the chilly nights are past. Dry spots for them to sleep on are usually very scarce at that sea son of the year. Don't turn the cattle to pasture too early. A good plan to follow is to wait until you conclude the grass Is suffi ciently large to turn them on, then wait a week or ten days longer. A Self-Feedlna- Crib. A combined corn crib and feeding shed is shown in the sketch. The feed bunk is covered by a lean-to shed Id feet wide. Small dxrs opening into the crib every two feet Just over the manger allow the corn to come out without shoveling. This shed should be built on the south side of the crib In a bright, sunny place. This arrangement is a great labor saver and quite an aid In bad weather, especially if the ends are inclosed. Farm and Home. Uxes of Corn. The Crop Reporter is endeavoring to tell for what purposes, corn is used. In the year 1S1H), so this authority states, the total crop was 2,it;ti.O(K.i,000 bushels. Of this crop 241,000,000 bushels were consumed in the flour nnd grist mills; K,(K lO.Oiin In manufacture of starch, 0, OUMHiO for malt liquors, 17,000,000 In distilling of liquors, 40,000,000 for glu cose, IKO.OUO.OOO for export, and 13, 000,000 for seed. This accounts for only 10.3 per cent of the entire crop, most of the remainder being used for feeding purposes. The more one studies the corn crop, the more interesting it becomes. Its magnitude as a food gfver nnd labor-employer grows with every observation one makes of the corn crop. Springfield Register. Farm Wells. Unsanitary dairy wells are n menace to health, and ns the country becomes more closely settled more nnd more care is necessary to provide good water. The director of the Chicago hygienic laboratory reports that of 153 wells on near-by dairy farms, examined by the inspectors, only eleven were found to be safe for domestic purposes. In ail cases the safe wells were those linel with cement, with cement covers, with a protecting flange of cement several feet out from the well. In some of the wells used for washing milk utensils a high percentage or' colon bacteria were found, and in some cases manure could be detected microscopically and by the odor. Millet for I,nte Crops. Millet as n late crop to plant in case of the failure of the corn crop or fail ure to get corn planted at all. Is rec ommended by the Ohio station. The earlier sorts can be seeded through July, and make fair fields. Hay is tlu most common use made of t he crop, and for this it compares favorably with timothy, both In composition and di gestibility. It is good feCd for cattle, horses and sheep, but when overripe should not be fed to horses exclusively, as It affects the kidneys. Millet is also grown for pasture seed, and even for silage. As a soil cleaner, it is also al most equal to a summer fallow. German Mode of Preserving; Milk. A German patent specification de scribes a process for preserving milk by removing all dissolved oxygen by means of the addition of a small quan tity of ferrous carbonate. The process Is based on the fact that freshly-precipitated ferrous carbonate in the pres ence of oxygen immediately assimilates oxygen and evolves an equivalent quan tity of carbon dioxide. One part of ferrous carbonate Is sutHclent for .10, 000 parts of milk, and the- properties of the milk are not altered In any way by the addition, which should be made before the milk Is boiled. Cribbing Corn. The corn crib should be natrow and siatted on the sides and ends, so that a free circulation of air is possible in all directions. Some farmers place hol low crates in the cribs as they are rilled, so that there will be no heat ing or spoiling In the center of the mnss. Heating destroys the corn germ Molasses CaUe. Into two-thirds of a cup of molasses stir a tablespoonful of melted butter, two-thirds of a cup of coffee, a half cup of sugar, one beaten egg, one and a half teaspoonfuls of soda dissolved In a tablespoonful of hot water, and one and one-half cups of flour.
