Tears ago, says an Iowa man, I used to remove every other row of teeth from the cylinder, feed by hand, run the thrasher with a ten horse-power engine, and did fairly good work. But Waif YeaaaT Te sir H4. These are the advantages of plant lug young trees: They can I trail ed to the desired form better than old er trees. A two or three-year-old tree Is branched and has had Its head already formed by the mirserymau ; a yearling tree of tbe apple, pear and sweet cherry Is usually uiibraiH-hL Sometimes the nurseryman lias headed tlie tree too high or has not beeu care ful enough about starting out the oaf fold luib. and It Is dllllcult to correct the form of the head after It has been started. There Is an unmistakable preference for low-headed trees, due chiefly to tbe need of economy and ettlcleucy lu spraying and harvesting. The single disadvantage of low-heading is greater Inconvenience In tillage. This Is much more thau offset by the advantages. In the Judgment of most growers. Wlthlu ten years the height recommended for heading apple tree lu Knst has been reduced at least two feet The bearing of this on the mat ter of yearling tree la that the grow er can head yearling tree where he pleases. A tils taa Farmers, As showing still another service which the IVpartmont of Agriculture has rendered to the business intercuts of the country, we note In a recent bul letin that, solely due to the Introduc tion of better uietlkHls of collecting turpentine, there has Uvn an Increase of 40 per cent In tlie output, amount ing to JT.lXHUMHl, while the long leaf pine forests of tlie Southern States, from which the American supply of turpentine Is largely obtained, have at the same time been saved from an nihilation. The cost to the dcmrtmcut of the service rendered In this Instance was $14,000. This Is one of many eases which go to prove that of nil the money that is being expended by the federal government In any of its de partments there la none which Is fetch ing a larger return on the Investment than that disbursed by the Department of Agriculture. For this reason pres sure should be brought to hear on our Congressmen to make appropriations for this branch of the government work as generous as possible. Seed- Whul. In selecting seed wheat each and every one should be guided by his peculiar locality, but every true, en terprising farmer should experiment with some of the Improved varieties if only a bushel. A vk Is letter than nothing, for It can !e compared with a like quantity of "old familiars," mid the method and difference of growth, adaptability and yield noted. It Is the farmer's duty to do this, and not 'Praaervlaai torn t Ine fob. It is quite an easy matter to pre serve corn on the cob. (lather the ears wheu tlie grain are full and be fore they begin to gtnxe. Soak thfiu half an hour lu brine made strong enough to float an egg. Then rinse tltcm In cold water and put where they will dry. When the grains are shriveled aud there Is no more moist ure lu the cob, pack In wooden boxes ami cover closely In a dark, dry closet Wheu wanted for use soak In warm water until the grains are tilled out fairly well, then cook as though freshly gathered. rirklv4 flat' When cleaned aud cracked, put them In two quarts of water; let them slowly simmer for three hours or until very tender; theu Hur them through the colander. Take out all the bones, rat up the feet and put them Into tlie liquor lu which they were boiled; let It cool, theu remove all fat ; to the liquor and chopped feet pour a half pint of vinegar, a tcaspnoiiful of whole allspice, a little salt aud rod epier; put all Into a saucepan, let simmer for live minutes, keeping It tightly cov ered ; stir It well aud pour It ull Into a pan. Deviled Oysters. Cook together five minutes two ta blosqiiHUifuls of butter, one tableHsui ful of etiopped green icpcr, half a teasMMiiiful chopistl onlou. Add half a cup well-stralued oyster liquor, one tahlcsioonrul tomato catsuji, one-third tcnspooiiful salt, ois' half leaspisiiiful propured mustard, a dash of cayenne aud a pint of c!inpMd oysters. Sim mer for live minuter and till the rice cup. Serve piping hot. Npuaa I'uilillnar. Bake a common sponge cake In n flat-bottomed pudding dish. When ready for use cut In six or eight pieces. Split and spread with butter and retu,m them to the dish. Make a custard with four eggs to a quart of milk, flavor and sweeten to taste. lVur over the cake and bake one-half hour. The cake will swell and till tho custard. This Is delicious. COW PATHS. . .-TjwV &jCEZj?- 0,S Hu.iwo.r The department of dairy husbandry at the Illinois experiment station has been making investigations throughout the State us to the prollt returned by the dairy cows. In the report which has been Issued the state of affairs Is represented very graphically In an Illustration which is reproduced above. It Is shown that half the cows are to be classed as medium, while the other half follow divergent paths. One out of every four cows produces not more than 133 pounds of butter fat per year. This path Is not the "milky way;" It does not tend upward and lacks the starry brightness and the milk. Head ing along the right hand path are the cows (one-fourth of the whole number) that mean profit, progress, plenty und an attractive Ironie for the owner. They produce 801 pounds butter fat per year and leave a clear profit of $31.32 each. The scales and the tester, as shown in the circle, are the Instruments for the dairyman to use to distinguish between tbe profitable and the unprofitable animals. recent years we let the cylinder re main as tor grain thrashing. Use one concave, with two rows of teeth, self feeder, a sixteen horse-power engine, end do a better Job, making the fod der miKh finer. It will crack some of corn, but makes it better for feeding. The fodder after being thrashed should be placed nnder cover, as it takes rain very readily and becomes spoiled for feed. I have fed a great deal of it and will say that when It is cut at the right time and well cared for I would rather have It, pound for pound, than timothy and clover hay for milk cows, but all stock eat It frell. Lara-eat PouKrr Ranch. In central Pennsylvania a tract of 107 acres is to be used for a mammoth poultry farm, with a plant Intended for ten thousand laying hens. It is claimed this farm will be the largest In tlie world. Perhaps the next larg est is that of Mr. Hayward, of Han cock, N. H., who keeps six to eight thousand laying hens, lu small colony houses. Mr. iTayward's farm, how ever, has been 1 actual and buccchs ful operation for many years, while the Pennsylvania project Is as yet a mere outline. leave It to seedsmen and originators. If all would try exiierlmeuts there woura soon be a great revolution In wheat culture. Replanting. Planting a tree where ono has died often proves a failure, but we do not believe the failure Is unavoidable. It Is best to destroy the old tree and get as much of the root as possible, some time before the new tree .Is planted. Leuve the hole Just as the work left It until ready to plant the new tree; then fill it with good soil and plant ti tree, tamping it well. The Wearing: Hone. "Weaving" consists In a motion of the head, neck and body from side to side, like tlie shuttle of a weaver pass ing through the web, nnd hence tho name given to this peculiar and inces sant " motion. It Indicates an impa tient, Irritable temper and a dislike to confinement In the stable. A horse thus affected will seldom be in good flesh or be safe to ride or drive. It Is not considered a disease, but mere ly an Individual vice, and there is no cure for It that I am aware of. Vet luary in Atlanta Constitution. a a sn nr.

DLOOD When the Hood is pure, fresh nnd healthy, the skin will he soft, smooth nnd free from blemishes, but when some ncicl liuumr takes root in the circu lation its presence is manifested by a Bkin eruption or disease. These humors pet into the blood, generally because of art inactive or ultiKgi.sh, condition of the mcmliers of the body whose duty it is to collect nnd carry off the waste and refuse jnattcrof the system. This unhealthy matter is kit to sour nnd ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the ncid poison. The blood begins to throw off tlie humors nnd acids through the pores nnd glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter, 1'soriasis, Salt Rhcur.1 nnd si: in eruptions of various kinds. Ikzema appears, usual! with a slight redness of tlie skin followed by pustules from which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, nnd the itching is Intense. It is generally on the back, breast, face, nrms nnd legs, though other ports of the body r.iay be affected. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks and bleeds; the ncid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which are intended to keep it soft nnd pliant, causing n dry, feverish condition and giving it a hard, leathery nppearance.
