X laul uvv? 1UUJI To Produce Pure Milk. C. B. Lane, of the Pennsylvania Experiment Station, speaking at an institute in that State on the subject of "Pure Milk and How to Produce It," said: "When we consider the vast amount of milk that is consumed in the United States during a year we cannot wonder at its importance as a market product. Each person in this country consumes about 100 quarts of milk a year, and from statistics the United Stares excels all other countries in the cow's product. The bacteria contamination of milk is nartiallv due to the lack of care taken of the cow. The adulteration of milk is on the decrease. The principal way that milk is to-day adulterated is by the adding of skimmed milk or water or the removal of the cream. England and America still continue to use milk without preservatives except to put it through a process for killing germs and bacteria. Director Dawley, of New York, said: 'The farmers have no right to demand of the State money for diseased cattle. It is optional with the dairyman whether he will call in the State Commission to examine cattle that indicate tuberculosis and the appraisers, in giving the owner of the diseased animal onequarter of her value prior to the discovery of the disease, more than sufficiently remunerates the man for his loss.'" Sulphur Smoke for Lambs. Where lambs show signs of disease at weaning time it is the practice of many to give them strong doses of sulphur smoke. To do this it is necessary to confine the lambs in a tight place where they can be made to inhale the fumes. "We last year," says John G. Ickis, in Country Gentleman, "used a garner which had a door at the opening. and as it held twenty-five lambs it did not take long to fumigate the entire flock." After the lambs were driven into the garner one man carried in a bucket with a few small coals, on which a small handful of sulphur had been thrown. The door was closed, and as the air became blue the lambs would begin to cough, showing that they were filling their lungs with the smoke. The operator should stay in the room, so + V? a vr> o tt lrnAw wlion a lorn Via liftvft enough. For a few minutes you mayexperience no inconvenience, but soon the tears will begin to start and a lump come in your throat' that impedes breathing?then you may know the lambs have about all they can stand. However, the smoke will generally be strongest at five or six feet from the floor than at the level of the lamb's nostrils, and the lambs may be left in one or two minutes after the man has been obliged to come out. It appears to me this is the commonsense way of getting at the worms on the lungs rather than to put drugs in the stomach to vaporize through the iungs and trachea. A Very Attractive Variety. The Sultan breed was introduced into Europe by way of Constantinople some forty years ago. In many respects the Sultans resemble the White Polish, but they have shorter legs and PRIZE HEN. more abundant plumage. The latter is very white and flowing; on the head they have a compact Polish tuft; the comb is only two little points, and the wattles are very small. They have five toes on each foot. The fowls are nonBitters, small eaters and layers of large, white eggs. They are said to be hardy when mature, but are difficult to raise, They are very small and are kept chiefly as pets, being generally regarded as the most beautiful of all domestic fowls. They are, however, trood lavers. Kemedies for Cutworms. H. E. Weed, of the Mississippi Experiment Station, writes: Every year cutworms do more or less damage to nearly all crops, especially to tomatoes, cabbages and corn. Whenever sod or grr.ssy land is left until spring before being plowed, any crop which may be planted on such land will be considerably damaged by cutworms. The reason is that the worms are nearly Full grown in the spring, yet they need one good meal before turinng into pupte, a short time after which they come forth as night-flying moths. lbe life history of the cutworms is ibout as follows: The moths lay their eggs in grass throughout the summer months and after after a few days these eggs hatch into small worms which feed upon the grass. The worms cast off their skin from time to time to accommodate their increase in 3ize, and during the cooler weather of winter go deeper in the ground, being Jormant for a time if the weather is yery cold. Upon the approach of 3pring the worms come forth for a finishing touch of growth and soon form pupie in the ground just below the sur . face. Some time after this the moths are produced, and, after mating, the females lay the eggs for another brood. With most species there is but this one brood a year. Most farmers are beginning to realize the many advantages of fall plow| ing, and where sod land especially is plowed in the fall it will greatly lessen the number of cutworms and other insects on such land the following spring. A good remedy for killing out the cutworms in the garden is to make up a mixture consisting of a quantity of bran or corn meal, to which is added a little paris green and a little molasses or sugar to give a sweetish tasto. It is the paris green that kills the worms, and this should be very thoroughly mixed with the bran so as to have a uniform mixture. A spoonful of this mixture should be placed near the plants just before night on the day the plants are set out. The /mf wnrma wnrlr of rnorTif on /I will liA killed by eating of the poisoned mixture. It is much better, however, to place the mixture about in various parts a field a few days before planting, as it will then kill off the worms before any damage is done. A Ladder and Wheel for Picking Apples. The cut given here is intended to represent a ladder mounted on two wheels for the purpose of being easily moved about the tree, or from one tree to another in the orchard, in gathering apples or other fruit. It can be made quite light, and will be found a useful means of gathering fruit; any ingenious fruit grower can make this step-ladder. There are always old buggy wheels around the farm, or if not there, around HOME-MADE FRUIT GATHERER. blacksmith shops, -which are good enough for this purpose, and if there is any old cast off axle-tree use it, but if not one of wood can be made to serve the purpose. The base of the ladder resting'upon the earth holds the ladder in position when weighted down by the man who is picking. It will be noticed there are handles with which to raise the base of the ladder, and push the ladder along like a wheel-barrow from one place to another. Different Characteristics in Bees. Ordinarily one would think that bees are bees the year over, and that their characteristics and qualities, good and bad, were about one and the same thing. While there is very distinct difference in the different races of bees, there is yet a greater difference in the colonies of the same race. There are almost as many different characteristics, as there are colonies in the apiary. This very nearly amounts to saying, that no two colonies are alike. The whole make-tip of the colony in whatever particular in altogether in the qneen, and whatever point is the specialty in that colony, the whole colony inherits the same thing. So, well acquainted -with the different characteristics of the bees, the apiarist selects his breeding stock, and breeds for any points he deems most profitable or wishes to attain. Some colonies far exceed others in gathering honey, some breed up more rapidly, and some colonies are more inclined to swarm than others, some arfi irnnrl r?r?mh build Ara whilfl others are better at filling the extractor. Some colonies consume less honey during the winter than others and come out in better condition in the spring; some breed up so rapidly in early spring as to far exceed their superior in strength. Some colonies are inclined to rob and give more trouble than they are worth Some strains have greater endurance of wing, will carry larger loads and go further for it; some are inclined to build drone combs exclusively for surplus, while others build worker comb. Some will enter the surplus boxes at once and store hundreds of pounds of honey, while others positively refuse and persist in swarming. Some strains have longer tongues than others and can reach clear down into the tubes of the red clover blossomjand make a success of gathering honey, while others would starve right beside it. Some colonies have such in irascible temper that it ia almost impossible to handle them, while others are perfectly gentle and can be handled with as much satisfaction as little downy chickens. Some breeders, not content with the beautiful color of the three-bauded Italian bee, went to work to breed for color, and have perfected their object by producing full colonies of Italian bees showing live distinct bands of yellow. There is scarcely a point that I have mentioned above that cannot be im proved upon and brought out to some extent by careful breeding; and this is being done by every careful breeder. It is but little trouble to note the best colonies in an apiary, and to breed both drones and queens from them; enough queens can be raised from one queen, or one colony, to re-queen the largest apiary in one season. Ii is true that the breeding of bees must be done to some extent on the "hit" and "miss" plan, as it is impos sioie to control tue rnaimgH ui some queens to any degree of certainty, but rapid progress can be made by selecting stocks to produce the requisite number of drones and mieens, and barring out all others hvflie breeding line.?A.

TO PROMOTE SUGAR-BEET CULTURE. Work of the Agricultural Department Described by Secretary Wilton. The Agricultural Department is sending out to farmers and to experiment stations a large amount of sugarbeet seed, with a view to determining the feasibility of growing the seed in certain sections of the country. In an interview with regard to the growing of the seed Secretary Wilson said: "We have just about finished sending out sugar-beet seed to most of the States of the Union. They are experimenting South as far as Texas. Every effort has been made to procure first-3lass seed. Most of the work is being done through the experiment stations, that get seed from the Department and send it out with instructions regarding the cultivation of the plants and provision for the return of samples to the stations in the fall for analysis. The Department is also taking in hand the glowing of high hereditary sugar-beet seed. The seed being sent out by the Department is the result of careful improvement, extending over many years?in some cases forty years of time?where every mother beet is tested by the polariscope to ascertain its percentage of su^ar. "This high hereditary sugar-beet j seed is worth perhaps its weight in gold. It is the result of the best work done along these lines during all these years. Such seed is exceedingly rare and difficult to get. The Agri cultural Department is believed to compass the ownership of only about five pounds of it. This is being distributed to our most careful experimenters at different stations in different localities, notably at Geneva, N. Y.; Wisconsin, Iowa, etc. Bulletins are being issued from the Department, prepared bfp experts, giving the people information regarding the sugar beet in 'ail its relations. Such bulletins *11 i _ j r z* x ? ?2 ~ win ue prepared irom urne to nine, and the results will be copied from the several stations, and full information given to the people regarding this important matter. "Capitalists are turning their attention toward investments along this line. There will be no difficulty about getting money enough to erect factories, which cost from $300,000 to 8500,000. The business men of the cities have learned thoroughly that they cannot thrive unless the farmers thrive; and, besides, the success of the Oxnards assures capitalists that where all the conditions of success are carefully secured to begin with | there is no question of the ultimate rej suit." Floating: Inlands* Not Rare. Flouting islands are not so rare as may be generally supposed. It is largely a matter of locality ami the one sighted three times in 1892 in the north Atlantic ocean was not only an unusual occurrence but also of peculiar scientific interest. It was first seen on July 28, in latitude 39.31 north and longitude Go west. The second occasion was August 26, and again on September 19. As it was not seen afterward it is supposed to have been destroyed in the autumnal gales. On the three instances the island was seen it was moving toward the Azores at tne rate ot aoout a mue an nour. jis extent was nearly 800 feet each way and it contained much forest growth, many of the trees being thirty feet high.

Select the small, curled leaves of the lettuce, forming a separate bed for each tomato. Slice each tomato, replacing the slices so that the tomato is perfect once more. Put one in each little lettuce bed, and on its top a good lump of stiff mayonnaise. This salad can also be served in individual ealad plates. Aboat the Dally Towels.

But if it should happen that this can not be always be done, in case of the bath room used by a large family, at least see to it that no towel iB ever folded up damp and returned to the rack. If the towel must be used a second time without going to the laundry hang it out to dry in the sunshine and fresh air, or on rainy days in front of a hot register. Never content yourself with simply folding a ! damp towel and putting it back on the ' hanger for use. Sarah Lnnn't Original Keclpe.

Pour gradually over one quart of flour, and beat to a smooth batter. Add one teaspoonful salt and one of sugar. Set to rise for two hourB in a warm jplace and bake. To those who like the hop taste a whole yeast cake may be used with these proportions, and will, of course, accelerate considerably the rising process.?New York Post. Mnah as Mother Made It.

Here is the recipe for I mush, given by a good old Kentucky grand dame: Put perfectly fresh water over the fire, in quantity you want to use. You can't measure cornmeal or water by pint or quart, she says. Let the water come to a quick boil; then i salt it till it is brackish. Ascertain I that by tasting. Have your oornmeal : well sifted, and a nice slender paddle j to stir. Pick up the cornmeal, a handful at a time, and stir gently into the water, which must be kept boiling ! briskly at first. Wnen naif tne meal j you expect to use is stirred in, put no ! more in for a few minutes, but let the | mass cook, and stir it briskly all the ' time. Then stir in the remainder of ; the meal till the mass is too thick to j stir easily. Then set baok a little, and ! stir that cooking, bubbling mass for at ; least ten minutes. After it is as smooth as can be, place on the back of a pretty hot stove and let it simmer for three hours, stirring it now and then, and having a care that it does not burn at the bottom. Eaten hot for supper, with half cream and half milk, or with nice, sweet butter, it is delicious and there is no raw taste about it. If it is to be fried, turn into a square mold to cool.
