Good dairymen are well aware of the im- Eortance of pure air in the manufacture of utter and or the fact that alight impurities are readily absorbed and diminish the excel- lencies oi the product. The habit of smok- ing by the dairyman has been shown to make a. decided difference in the flavor of the butter. When chicks are droopy or weak care is needed to recuperate, them, a little more green food and onions should be given them or, if they are too much purged, a little powdered chalk and bone flour in their soft loadâ€"one teaspoonful of each to a pint of food is sufficient. An English authority computes that in the last three or four years more pigs have died in the United States from cholera than have been raised in the British Isles. Won- der if the methods of feeding for some years in vogue in this country have had anything to do with this mortality ? \Vhen shock is. turned on the pasture and there left all day, the water auppl y must be looked after. A milch cow must have leu- ty of water. She can not wait until a e is driven up at night. The water is a. necessa- aary constituent ol the milk, and she must have it during the time the milk is being manufactured. If deprived of water during the warm days her supply of milk will fall elf. For disinfectants about poultry houses and aheda, smoke from a wood fire, says the Farm and Sloclmmn, is one of the beat; also sulphur. In using the latter, close every opening and chink where air can escape, place a pound or two of brimetone, in small pieces, in an iron pan. and let it gently burn, leaving the house shut up {or the day if possible. Somebody says that ten drops of the oil of turpentine ehaken up with 5 tables con- to! of sweet milk will cure half a (zen chickens of the gapee, each getting an equal Dart of it, or the some quantity mixed with flour or meal and e small bolus forced down the throat of the chick will do the work promptly. The dose should be repeated several timesâ€"soy morn, noon and night. Excepting the material of which the cheese is made, there is no in rcdient of so much importance in cheese-ma inq as rennet. No nutter how excellent the milk may be, if the rennetls not right, excellence in the produc- tion of cheese cannot be obtained. Much of the poor cheese Is the result of poor rennet, and much cheese made poor by the bad hand- ling of the milk, or from other causes, is m e worse by poor rennet.

It seems strange to me why the various top-knotted breeds of iowla are everlast- ingly recommended for the farmer; now common sense shown that hawks pick ’em up an faet as they digest each meal. The Leghorn in the all-around farm fowl . active and healthy each day of the year; and it is indeed a poor fancier or farmer that cannot make $.50 profit a year from each hen.

It must be a shock to the system, and shocks are lul. This heroic treatment is downright cruelty. Washing removes only the loose dirt from the wool, and it is doubtlul it that embraces two per cent. of the whole Weight 0! fleece, yet bu ere deduct from tWenty to thirty per cent. or unwashed wool. Washed or uu- washed, it has to be scoured before manu- facturing, and hence, why wash at all? Farmers do it simply to save such an out- rageous ded action on the price. Three years ago a friend with a flock of sixty sheep did not wash, and said he should not again; but when he sold his wool he was compelled to submit to a discount of twenty per cent., amountlng to twenty-five dollars, and now he has returned to the old process. At a wool-buyer's store I have seen unwash- ed fleeces thrown into the general lot, and it is doubtful if manufacturers make much difference if any. In the absence of desired information as to the true inwardness of this wool~washing business, it must be concluded that somebody is taking advant- age of the woal-growers who fail to present washed fleeces. As soon as they can get full price for unwashed wool, minus the weight of dirt washing takes out, just so soon will they be lad to relinquish the un- natural process. fit would be well to test one or two fleeces this season by washing af- ter she srin , and then one could know just what shrin age there is. 3:31;; a. with ~ me to when she 9 “0:6,“ Because the generous nature of the to- mato yields bountifully with seemingly little care, the general impression prevails that the plant requires but little attention. This is a sad mistake, for there is not a vegetable in the garden that is so gross a feeder, not one that so readily pays for all the food and care given as the tomato. To grow to its greatest perfection, the hills should be dug out to the depth of two and a halt feet;at the bottom there should be a half bushel of well-rotted manure; above this let the soil be an equal mixture of loam and manure thoroughly mixed. The hills should be at least six feet apart. Let the situation be open, warm, airy. \Vhen the fruit begins to set, mulch with clean straw or very small brush. Under these condi- tions six plants will furnish sufficient tomatoes for a family of twelve persons. Whatever variety may be planted in this manner, the result will show specimens for siza,smoothnesa, and esoulent properties, unknown to the variety when grown in the ordinary manner.

At a recent meeting of the Academia dos Sciences, Professor Brown-Sequard referred to some ex eriments he had conducted with a view to etermine what, if any, were the, toxic effects of the human breath. In con- ‘ densing the watery vapor coming from the human lungs he obtained a poisonous liquid capable of reducing immediate death. This is an al 'aloid (organic), and not a mi- crobe or seriesof microbes, as might have been imagined. He in'ected this liquid under the skin of a ra bit, and the effect was speedily mortal. The animal died without convulsions ; the heart and large vessels were engorged with reddish blood, contrary to what is observed after ordinary death, when the quantity of blood is moderate and of a dark color. In conclusion, this emi- nent physiologist said that it was fully proved that respired air contained a volatile toxic principle far more dangerous than the carbonic acid, which was also one of its con- stituents, and that the human breath, as well as that of animals, contained a highly poisonous agent.-â€"-[The Medical Press.

Albert Peace of Lewiston, Maine, in a letter to the Maigae Ij‘armcf says 5 I propose to tell a few things that I know in regard to farms in this section. ' ' “ Adjoining the farm on which I live, there is a farm of 56 acres, with some fruit, barn cod, house poor but habitable, land good orasmail business, that has been urged upon me for $250. On another side of me a farm of 200 acres, buildings good, land good, with an unusually promising fruit prospect. The owner will sell fora sum that I forbear to name, as his is an excep- tional case of discontent. These within three miles of Phillips village, on a ood road. Running parallel to the road onw ichI live, about a mile distant, there is a road leading alone a high ridge of excellent land on which there are six farms, with broad fields that are mowed with a machine, good orchards, with good buildings, ample, neat and well kept. I was latel told that all these farms were for sale. ince then one of them has been sold. alarm that ought to carry twelve head of cattle and a bun- dred sheep, for $700. The former owner is one of our smartest men, Abuthe was bound to et out, and sold as he did because he can d not et more. On the river road, two and a hat miles below Phillipe‘ village, there in a farm with 100 acres intervale w th u land, the buildings ample, requiring ll ght repairs, that a few eare ago was bought for 2,500. A few ays ago it was sold for $l,500. The farm below this, the best inter-vale farm in the region, a few years ago was rated at $3,500. I am in- formed that it can now be bought for 82,- 500. Another. an upland farm, five miles from the depot, some 100 acres very good land, not excessively stony, 50 acres that can be lowed in one field, the barn the best ans most costly of any in the region, the house as good as the average on the heat farms in the State, and an acque- duet bringing water to house and barn, and this can be had for two-thirds the cost of the buildings alone. And these, I think, are a fair average of the quality and prices of [arms that are offered for sale, after throw- ing outa few that are not worked as farms, but are turned out to pasture or_forest.

As the result of many years' experience the recruiting office of the United States army have adopted this method of chest measurement, which may be of advantage to amateur athletes who find the circumference of their chests varying through inaccurate measurement.

Let your arms fall easily by your side. The ta will slip down to the maximum girth o the chest. This is the mean chest. Exhale all you can, still keeping your arms by your side. This is minimum chest. Inhale and inflate all you can, in the same position. This is the maximum chest. The difference between the maximum and minumum chests is call. ed the mobility. A mobility of over three inches in a man of medium height is consider- ed good, below two and one-half inches it is poor. Artificial movements of the arms or muscles interfere with proper measurement. â€"[New York Sun. It is not true, as has been stated, that Mr. Spurgeon has returned to the Baptist Union.
