Prepare law Graaarr.
Before putting any new grain in the
eranarv (advises a writer in an ex
change) sweep and scrub It thoroughly
clean and sprinkle thoroughly with
water made strong with carbolic acid.
If this does not clean out all weevil
and vermin of tbat sort, close op all
the openings and cracks by pasting
paper over them, quickly poor a lew
lin1nhide of carbon (to be
bad of any good druggist) Into a shal
low dish, and run. Close the door as
tight as possible and leave it thus for
two or three days. Then open and
ventilate, but do not enter the room
until thoroughly ventilate!. Tbe gas
from this liquid is wrUin to kill every
weevil, aod it will kill anything eie
that in confined with it. It is a poison
tbat Bust be bandied carefully.
rkaralat; nweet Milk.
It appears tbat experiments made
both at the New York and West Vir
ginia agricultural experiment stations
have resulted very favorably for sweet
cream churning. The cream should
be churned at a temperature not above
fifty degrees. The result shows: 1.
That sweet cream should be churned
at a considerably lower temperature
than acid cream. 2. That when the
temperature is properly adjusted the
fat Is more fully recovered In churning
sweet cream than In churning sour
cream. 8. That butter is much easier
freed from the milk and requires less
working. 4. That the fiavor is gen
uine butter flavor dependent more
upon food and. less upon uncontrol
lable change in acidifying the cream.
Wkea Pick Pear.
"Summer and Fall pear should be
picked just before they begin turning
their color aod when nearly grown,
handling them with great care to avoid
bruising, and then placed in barrel
aod bo xe in a room or cellar where
the temperature may be kept at about
seventy degree, and a moderate de
gree of moisture obtained. After being
o kept for a few day they will begin
to turo, aod some of them will mellow,
when they should be sold or used be
fore gettiug too toft. Tbe barrel or
boxes should be covered with paper to
exclude the light and prevent the es
cape of tbe aroma. The manner In
wbich early pear thus treated will
color is truly wonderful."

According to P. II. Jacob,' a noted
poultry fancier and authority, crowd
ing fowl In the coop may nave space
and expense of coop for shipping, but
it result in tea per cent of dead fow la
before they arrive at destination.. A
cap for water abould be at every cor
ner of the coop, and each fowl should
have room enough to move from one
point in tbe coop to another freely.
Tbe food la not to important a the wa
ter, and unlet you have water at every
convenient point in the coop, tbe foal
will not kaow where it i aod cannot
bring, the consequence boing tbut they
perish of thirst.
At to tending dead poultry to mar
ket in summer, the saae authority ad
vies to ship by express and pack in
ice if necessary, the warm weather be
ing very unfavorable for transporta
tion. Dry pick the fowls, use no pack
ing material, aqd cool them well. They

A year or two age we mentioned in
the Witness that some Georgians were
making watermelon syrup, but bad no
idea tbat the product would ever be so
extensively manufactured as to become
an article of commerce. Now, how
ever. Col. Wm. Duncan, of South Caro
ollna, suggests that as tbe watermelon
crop of Carolina, Georgia and Flordia
is getting too large for the require
ment of the market, syrnp be manu
factured from it. He insists that it can
be more easily and generally raised
than the- sugar-cane, and more con
veulently cultivated, because it grows
above ground, than the sugar-beet.
Col. Duncan has experimented' in
making the syrup and claims that it 1
excellent more like preserve thsn
like cane syrup and is likely to be
come popular with all who try It. He
bas bad no trouble in gettiog a good
price for all be ha made. Th North
ern housewife, who often makes use of
watermelons as she would citrons, will
have no trouble in believing Col. Dun
can' statement, and it strike u that
tljere may be million In bis ruggestion
In tbe not distant future. N. Y.

This do a a mean of securing fresh
grass for pasturage or soiling In both
Fall aod Spring. Writing about grow
ing rye for various purpores, an Iowa
farmer say tbat the crop i not ap
preciated as it should be. Tbe seed
ean be sown from July, right In the
corn field, to November first, or on
stubble, where grass 1 sown, and yields
in tbe Western State from eighteen to
to forty bushel per acre. One of our
Iowa farmer raised 800 bushel on
thirty acres. The price I nearly al
ways fifty ceota per bushel, and rye is
considered worth thj price for pig
feed. It come tbe very first of any
grain, and Is highly relished by bogs,
while tbe growing plant furnish lota
of green food in the Fall and Spring.
Sow a patch for your bogs, if for no
other purpose.

Under the beadlngTF "Our Cattle

Witness of July 23 tbat the Scotch de
sired our thin cattle to fatten, and
were demanding of their government
free trade In such stock. Allusion was

jiculture. Gen, Rusk, can help thia

cattle) by clearing out the lung plague
wherever it may still be domiciled' on
the eastern seaboard."
Secretary Rusk now writes ua that
his attention has been called to the
item in the Witness, which he noted
with interest, and adds this important
Information : "Referring to tbe actual
condition of pleuro-pneumonia, as ef
fecting our American cattle, ft gratifies
me very much to bo able to inform you
that, at this writing, there does not ex
ist within the knowledge of the Bureau
of Animal industry (and our system of
inspection is so thorough that I am
sure no case of the disease could exist
without their knowledge) single ani
mal affected with contagious pleuro
pneumonia. Of course this doe not
mean that there are not many animal
and premises over which quarantine
I still maintained owing to conditions
of previous exposure a quarantine
which will be rigidly maintained for a
considerable time, and until It Is quite
certain that no possible danger exist.
Even then a rigid supervision and In
spection must be continued! to guaran
tee our absolute immunity from dis
ease." '
Tbis posltiy assurance from tbe
highest authority that contagious pleuro-pneumonia
no longer exist In tbl
country, must prove most? gratifying to
stoc'tmen and others Interested, and
it is certainly very creditable to the
Bureau of Animal Industry. N. Y.

If yon did not have all the strawber
ries yon could eat this year, and have
not yet arranged for a full supply next
year, go right at It now. Prepare a bit
of garden as though you intended to
beat tbe recent big potato records, and

success with, In hills two feet apart
