An oil and gasoline can possessing a number of interesting features, so far as its construction is concerned has re- cently been placed on the market. The first cut shows a general view of the can while Fig. 2 shows the manner m.whicthe can may be emptied of its contents. The emptying tube, which is the principal feature of the can, is formed of a single piece and is bent to the shape shown. The position which the tube occupies at the side of the can is such as to bring the body portion of it close to the side, thus causing the OIL OR CIASOLINiS CAN. tube to offer no obstruction as an at- tachment to the can. The lower in- ward bent portion of the tube is thread- ed, and is secured to the can by the use of a stuffing box. The latter is solder- ed in tile can as near the bottom as pos- sible, so that all the liquid may be readily drawn off. The tube extends slightly above the top of the can, so that when in a raised position and out MANNER OF EMPTYING TEII OAN. of use it effectually closes the can against discharge; by reason of its length and position.

The invention show herewith is the design of a Scotch dairyman and is for the purpose of purifying and aerating milk. This is an apparatus adapted for purifying milk by the process of elimin- ating from it all taints and odors im- mediately after it is drawn from the cow. • It has been found that milk so treated will keep sweet for a greater length of time and will even withstand the influ- ence of thunderstorms. To the cheese - maker this is a matter of special impor- tance, since firstcfass cheese cannot be made from trainted milk, while in the case of milk for town supply the preser- vation of its freshness should prove of incalculable benefit to seller and pur- chaser alike. As can be seen, the appliance is extremely simple, eon- MILE AERATOR. sisting of tinned wire cloth so arranged on a stand that the milk flowing from a vessel above passes over it and gets broken into the finest stream, thus al- lowing every part of it to be treated by the atmosphere. This aerator is equal- ly. useful to the dairy farmer for the purpose of pnrifying milk preparatory to cream rasing or separating, and it is desirable to note that all milk should be aerated before being refrigerated. At present the refrigerator is generally used to cool impure milk from which results the foot that refrigerator milk goes sour very quickly when brought to a temperature exceeding 60 degrees. This Appliance is undoubtedly a new and valuable adjunct to the dairy. ADJUbtTABLE BARROW WHEEL. It piny ne Fixed for Level noels or Any Incline.

Among the advantages of the wheel are these : It may be double loaded and ADJUSTABLE BARROW WHEEL. yet the user can handle it more easily than the old one with a normal load; after a day's work with it the user is less fatigued than with two hours' use of the ordinary barrow, and the strain being thrown more on the wheel the framework of the barrow is less liable to break across the middle ; the wheel may be adjusted for a level road or for one that ascends or descends. WINDOW PLANTS. A Few Rules That Must be Followed to Ensure Sueeass. A writer in The New York Recorder says that most window gardens are fill- ed with a miscellaneous selection of so- called flowering plants, whose few poor, scattering blossotns scarcely pay for their care, and might with profit give place to those without beauty of flower, but whose foliage is at least attractive. Indeed, so often is this the case that many householders are banishing . all flowering plants, depending solely upon palms, aspedistras, etc., for their win- dow adornment. But if one. prefers flowers to foliage—and most people do —this is all wr•ono-. A few fine foliage plants are, indeed, attractive, but they do not take the place of fragrant blos- soms, that never seem half as lovely as when all outside nature is hidden be- neath snow and ice. It is not necessary for the window to be flowerless. even with the poor facilities of the' common living room if the following rules are adhered to : 1. Select only such plants as are win- ter bloomers. 3. Choose only those that will thrive in the temperature at which you keep your room. Select carefully to suit the amount of sunshine or shade in your window. 8. Examine every plant to make sure that it is entirely free from insects be- fore bringing to the window in the au- tumn. 5. Shower the leaves of your plants once a week, to keep down dust and in- sects. If insects appear, fight them at once and never give up until they are routed. 5. Keep flowering plants in small or medium sized pots, See that the soil is rich, the drainage an inch deep at bot- tom of pot, and a crust of hard earth is never allowed to form at the tow of the pot. 6. Water only when dry, then give sufficient water to wet to the bottom of the pot, Be chary of water in severely cold weather. 7. Urn tha note frenuentllr. ninth off witnereci nowers arra raaea reaves. Al- low all Holland bulbs to root six or eight weeks in the dark before bringing to the window. 8. Give weak liquid manure once a fortnight to all plants showing buds— never to half-grown plants. To comment a hale on these rules : It is useless to select summer blossomers for the house in winter. A few be- gonias, abuntilons and petunias are practically even bloomers, but most plants must have their season of rest. Few roses, geraniums or.fuchsias bloom well in winter but these few any florist can name. Alliurns, ageratums, vannas cyclamen, cineraris, petunias, nicotiana, callas, the otalicite orange, hyacinths, paper -white and double Roman narcis- sus and Chinese sacred lilies are among the surest bloomers for the beginner. Nearly all plants can be grown in a moderately warm room, but in either a very warm or quite cool room the choice must be more restricted. For instance, begonias. heliotropes, im- patients, sultani, salvias and torentias would soon come to grief in a low temperature (unless protected well at night), while they would flourish in the warm room. The exact reverse would be the case with Carnations, ten -week stocks and camellias. In the same way begonias, primulas, nicotiana and a few other plants will flower well in a shady window, while roses, geraniums and heliotropes must have sun, and plenty of it, to bloom. It is the attention to the minutiae of plant culture that makes the successful amateur. Yet these rules are not burdensome to the true flower lover, for it is not a task to minister to our friends reasonable wants, as our plants wants are. Clean, well-fed plants are always ready to bloom if they have half a chance. Pointe of, Saddle Horses. The London Live Stock Journal says that it :natters little to the comfort of - the driver whether the horse in his trap has long or short, upright or sloping pasterns, as longus he moves freely and goes a good pace. But in the riding horse, a tolerably long, sloping, and yet strong pastern is indispensable to afford a pleasant ride for any length of time. When a horse is driven, springiness of action does not count for much; but when he is ridden, it means a great deal to the horseman. One horse will fatigue his rider more in a 12 -mile journey than another will in one of 20. The harness horse for common use may be of the cobby carthorse type, but a pleasant back must have a "bit of blood' in him, and move on all four limbs with the elasticity of the thoroughbred. For fashion's sake, a riding horse should be a high stepper, whilst a "daisy -cutter" might be equally or even more pleasant to ride. If the latter has well -made, oblique shoulders he never falls when he happens to stumble, whit the former, if his shoulders are upright, comes down "all of a heap" should he make a mis- take in putting Ms foot on the ground. The Hackney of the modern Stud Book type, at his best, is the ideal of all that is required in . form and action of a har- ness and riding horse combined. Located Mtn.

Any Blookliend Can do It if He Will Observe a Few Simple Itu i es. Make a practice of salting the cows only on Sundays give them all they will eat up clean and adhere strictly to this rule. Any kind of salt will do, but that usually sold for fertilizing purposes should have the preference. See that the cows have access to plenty of stagnant water. A pond should be found in the lane or near the buildings, where it will be of easy ac- cess. The pond need not be large, and should not be cleaned out oftener than once every seven years. Do not plant any trees near the pond, but leave it "bare to the eye of heaven." A bock of ducks or geese should be kept, as these will tend to give the water both taste and smell. The food may be yaried as circum- stances may suggest or require. .Avoid upland pastures or long established blue grass meadows. Swampy lands are best. When this fails, owing to the drought of summer, pastures that have been eaten down by the horses and sheep and the grass of which is perfect- ly dry will answer the purpose very well. Do not feed any soiling crop to cows in milk during the summer nor yet give them any grain. There should not be any shade trees con- venient, and the cows should not be stabled in summer except on fine nights. During winter, hay that has been cut at or about the ripening stage, and much weathered straw are good coarse fodders. Wheat that you may have kept a long while waiting for a rise in price, and that has got musty in the bin should be fed out now. Turnips and straw make a cheap winter ration, half and half by weight. I might have men- tioned that when pasture is scarce, rag- weed that has grown up among the corn should be pulled and thrown out to the cows •; carrot and turnip tops are also good. The above rations may be varied to suit different localities. Milk in the yard and set the milk where the odors of the yard are most pronounced. Keep brushes and' cloths away from the udders of cows. When commencing to milk, draw a little milk on to the hand, this will tend to clean the hands. Always allow the milk to stand at least forty-five minutes in the pail before straining. If you wish to aerate the milk do so before leaving the yard or stable. Build the milk house whore the by- products can be conveniently fed to swine ; this saves carrying and ensures the butter against insipid flavor. Allow the cream to sour at least three days ; this will ensure a variety of flavors, and you may thus avoid mono- tony in the product. Keep it, while ripening, for convenience in an ordi- nary butter tub, and let it thicken till it will float a fossil clam. When quite sour heat up to about 71 deg. 1?. or thereabouts (avoid the use of thermome- ters), and churn ; the butter should come in a time not exceeding thirteen mint}tos. Gather the butter solidly to- gether, do not wash, but transfer it to the bowl work thoroughly with the ladle, and pack at once in tubs. If you desire to put it up in pound prints, you may do so by rolling with the hand till of the required shape and consistency, eStar whlrh..it mar by wranned in eatten lo4na twoonen acmes are o'ojecttone:me?. If after carefully following out the above hints you still fail to make as strong an article as you desire, try ripening the cream by the kitchen stove. New varieties of weed growths may be fed. Carefully squeezing the butter through the hands, in lieu of the usual working has been tried with fair success. If desired, the milk may be set in the root cellar, and the butter, atter being well worked, should be set in close prpximity to thlard pail, soft soap barrel or meatbin. Cases of actual failure are`rare if the above be noted. Lowering Casks Into Cellar,. Our illustration shows how heavy casks filled with cider, vinegar or some other liquid can be very easily lowered into a cellar. Two pieces of plank or joist are laid over the steps. A crowbar is inserted a few feet away from the top. The middle of a long rope is placed over the bar and the two sides of the rope are placed around the cask. Paying out the two ends of the rope evenly lets the cask down into the cellar. It may be drawn up in the same way, thus saving a great deal of hard labor necessary to lower or raise casks without the use of such a device. Cough in a Cow. A cough is a common symptom of tuberculosis, or consumption, in a cow, when the disease attacks the lungs. Diarrhoea is a symptom of this disease in the bowels. The disease may ap- pear in almost any part of the animal— the lungs, liver, intestines, spleen. throat, and even in the bones and muscles, so that the symptoms may vary very much, and in some cases it may exist in an animal without any external symptoms at all. But a deep, hollow cough, with poor condition. blue milk, a staring coat, or a profuse and ob- stinate diarrhoea, and a constant desire . for the company of the bull, are all prominent symptoms of the disea and, yet, all these may be due t : other causes. The milk of a tub Mous. cow is not safe, and if the disease is in the udder it is dangerous) and a person who is susceptible to this disease may very easily contract it through diseased. milk. Brightness of the eyes, with it. , deep, hollow cough, and cmaeiatiefi, may be taken as very critical indica- tions that this disease is present in a. cow. A Difloreuee It Noted.
