the honorary o' naulting entomologist of the

destroy this cattle peat at some stage of its

and quiescent on the backs of the cattle.
The lumps should accordingly be rubbed
with concentrated brown carbolic acid, or a
little acid diluted with water injected with
a sharp pointed syringe into the swelling, or
a. dreeeing of mercurial ointment should be
eaailouely applied. The mercury, however,
needs cautions using, aa it is apt to bo ab-
sorbed, and if freely appllt d causes general-
ly irritation and mercurial poisoning. Some
such ogees were last spring reported In the
lingliah agricultural papers,
Cows and Carry -Comb.
It is probable that not one farmer in a
knndrod, ea; a the L ve Stook Monthly, ever
thinks of tieing email a thing as the curry-
somb and brush on Ms oowe, although those
instruments are need regularly in the horse
'stable. Yet there is jnet as much necessity
for keeping the akin of the oow in good con-
dition aa that of the horse. No matter
whether the MAY is suffered to run at large
in the pasture all the time, or is kept in the
steel° or oorraI and fed, the process of curry-
ing and brushing will consume but little
time, and the farmer will be amply repaid
for his trouble, both in the better appear -
Wien and increased yield given by the cows
for their good treatment. That a currying
In necessary for the health and in grateful to
the animals may be seen by the hahit which
cows have of "brushing" each other for a
half-hour at a time with the spiny auifaco of
their tongues, The evident signs of satis-
faotion which they give when undergoing
this process should furnish a hint to the ob-
aervent farmer which needs but Iittle trouble
to aot upon, In some parte of Europe where
oowe are kept in the barn nearly all toe
time, their coats are as curefutIy combed
and attended to as is the hair of a child's
head, and it is regarded as a matter of ne-
cessity. No doubt this suggestion may be
laughed at by many who are accustomed to
let both horses and oowe go almost sneered
for from one year's end to another, but the
fact nevertheless remains that keeping a
sow's skin in good order and cleanly is of as
much importance to her well-being as keep-
ing her well supplied with nutritious food.
Timely Suggestions -
Two recipes for tanning skin veldt the fur
on, a subject about which we have frequent
inquiry, are given by the Shoe and Leather
Reporter :
"Take two parte each of alum and salt
and one of saltpeter, all well pulverised.
Clear the flesh of fatty matter. Sprinkle it
white with the mlzture. Fold in edges and
roll up ; remain four days ; then wash with
clean water, then with soap and water.
Pull the skin when drying, to make It soft.
Another recipe is : L y the wet skin on a
smooth slab or hard board ;• scrape with a
dull knife until all loose flesh and film is re-
moved ; then wash off' in s .ft water, Take
a glass or stone jar, put in an ounce of oil of
vitriol and a gallon of rain or river water,
Let it steep in tale for about half an hour,
Take it out, work it with the hands until
dry, when it will be pliable and soft. Tho
MODS worked the softer. Use no grease. '
A visit to a friend's house where the cis-
tern water is very foul showed that every-
body doesn't yet know the advantage of
drawing from near the top, instead of the
bottom, to have the water always sweet.
By use of short pieces of oorcmon, fireman's
hese, j,intsare easily made in pipe which
are water -tight, and by use cf a float the
end of the pipe can always be kept near the
top. My overflow pipe also connects with
the bottom of the cistern by a close -fitting
tin pipe with inch holes at the bottom.
Thus, in Daae of hard showers, the cistern is
thoroughly rinsed out.
The importance of having cows calve in
the fall, so as to have the heaviest flow of
milk In the winter, when milk and butter
are high, cannot be too welt understood.
Some farmers value fall °elves as highly as
spring calves, for the reason that they are
ready to turn on grass as soon Ks it comes
in the spring, and so get the full benefit of a
summer's pasture.
Referring to the necessity for supply of
articlea of adornment and taste for boys and
giris on the farm, Dr. Hanalord proposes an
association of, say; fifteen farmers, mare or
Ws, to invest in a library of really good
and instructive books and valuable papers,
to be teken home in turn for brief periods.
