It is safe to say that thousands of dollars are annually wasted un- necessarily through carelessness or ignorance in the oiling of farm machinery. Not long ago the writer knew of a forehand-ed but “hind- sighted” farmer well supplied with all the best makes of modern imple- ments who was constantly seeking the repair shop, all'because he chose to depend upon the kerosene barrel :nstee-d of a five-cent box of axle grease. All his boxings were more or less cut ; most- of them more so. And yet, although a fairly intelliâ€" gent man, his answer to a protest on that point Was, “Why kerosene oil is the best oil in the world for cleaning the axles ; why not for keeping them clean ?” Some men do not appear to underâ€" §tand that the use of oil or grease is to present a smooth, easily movâ€" ing surface with sufficient body to carry up the load, though it is also true that the spindles and boxes should be 'kept clean, a point even more generally neglected. One kind of oil or grease may be made to answer for all purposes, but we have never yet found one that is anywhere near the best for all. A farmer cannot atl‘ord to carry, in stock too much idle material, but a dollar or two judiciously invested in different kinds of lubricants is Well invested, always, providing the oils are made intelligent use of. For cleaning of gum, rust or al- most any kind of dirt, nothing is superior to kerosene oil or some of its full brothers, like gasoline. It cuts and loosens the dirt and then evaporates, leaving no residue of its own. For this very reason, it is no better. than water for a lubricant for heavy machinery. That requires body, such as the thick, heavy oils furnish. For light machinery, like lawn mowers, sewing machines, etc., a light, permanent oil from which the gum and residue has been about all removed is best. The load it carries requires only a little body, while the very lightness of the machine makes it more sensitive to the influence of gum, and less able to overcome it. The light, clean oils (but never keroâ€" sene or anything which evaporates at once) should always be preferred for such work. For buggy axles more body is necessary and more gumminess allowable ; still, the rule should be as light and clean an oil as will do the Work. When it comes to heavy waggon axles a much heavier body is necessary, and the light machine oils, though satisfacâ€"jlstantly washed and drained tory for a short time, by reason of their quick disintegration are proâ€" lific sources of dry spindles. For such spindles a very much heavier oil or grease should be used. It may be a bit of valuable news to some that good pine tar will usually put an end toa hot box after everything has failed. WATER IN THE SOIL. The more the soil is pulverized, and the finer its condition, the greater lts capacity to- hold Water. Stand- lng water in un'drained soils absorbs heat, and if it is not drained oil’ It evaporates, and the heat is thereâ€" by lost, leaving the soil cold. Every barrel of water evaporated by the iun takes as much heat as would be required to evaporate the same {uantity of Water in a cauldron. l‘he soil. and plants are chilled for lhe want of heat absorbed by the vater.

It has assuredly been a labor or love for me to study the diseases of children with a view to their relief and cure. Many grown people will stubbornly cling to the debilitating drugs and nostrums that are a relic of barbarism, but 1 hold that it is almost a crime to give them to children at the risk of physical and mental degeneration. My remedies for children's diseases are effective and. ltaken, the better. Bacteria that get linto milk duringthe process of milkâ€" ing develop very rapidly, so long as milk remains at about the tempera- ture at which it was drawn, but as soon as cooled to 60 degrees they develop slowly, and if cooled to 40 degrees their action is almost en- 'tirely stopped. Milk cooled to this temperature as soon as draWn and held there will remain sweet and in good condition much longer than if cooled to only 70 degrees or 75 degrees. WEANING PIGS .- A series of eight experiments reâ€" cently demonstrated the advisability of keeping pigs on sows as long as possible, consistent with the healthy and strong condition of the mother. The chief reason for this is that a. sow and her pigs together will ex- tract more nourishment from a given quantity of food than will the weaned pigs alone. The sow and pigs were weighed prompt, but they are entirely harmless, lseparately each week, and any loss ver thoughtful mother should have a. finngon Family Medicine Chest, and should never fail to keep it supplied with Munyon's Cold Cure, Cpugh Cure, Sore dl‘hroat Cure.

These films travel from particle, to particle, the general tendency being upward, because the moisture [is passing off near the top of the soil by means of evaporation and lappropriation by plants. Moisture is constantly supplied from below through capillary attraction. Water is constantly rising from the lower depths of the soil through capillary attraction, and by this process bringing up with it the salts and soluble fertility released. this in the alkali soils of the West lwhere the process works to the deâ€" triment rather than the benefit of the farmer. Excessive Quantities of these salts are brought up from the lower soils in solution, and then as the water evaporates into the air they are left in the surface soil in such quantities as to make agricul- ture impossible. This only occurs, however, in the arid regions. In the “rain belt” there is no excess of mineral salts as they are being con- away The knowledge of this principle shows the value of deep and proper cultivation of land devoted to crops. As the water rises from ‘whatever depth, it is charged with solutions of phosphorus, nitrogen, potash, etc., encountered in its course and now rendered soluble through its action, and these, as evaporation takes place, it deposits ab0ut the roots and plants. Deeply cultivated soils D It only allow for the deeper pene- ‘1 ration of roots, but they hold more water and produce greater solutions and plant fertility. As soon as it is drawn, milk should be removed from the stable to a place provided for the purpose, and there aerated and cooled to 50 degrees or 60 degrees Fahrenheit. This should be done either by ‘sctting the cans into a tank of cold water Ian-d stirring occasionally, or by lpass-in-g the milk over a cooler.

The pigs were allowed to remain on the sow for ten weeks, then a similar course of feeding was carried on with the pigs for seven weeks. The sow and pigs consumed on an average 231 pounds of meal and 534- pounds of skiinâ€" milk in making a similar increase, or gain of CALF FOOD. A mixture which has been very largely used, and with excellent re- sults, by an extensive breeder, conâ€" sists of two parts of barley meal and wheat meal to one part of ground linseed. To this is added a pinch of carbonate of soda, say, at the rate of one ounce of the sod-a to every peck of the mixture. This meal is prepared by being mixed with a little cold water until it reaches a creamy consistency, and then warm water is added until the meal reach- es about blood heat. It may be used either as an addition to skimâ€" milk or as a complete substitute for milk, after the calf is five or six weeks of age. The addition of cookâ€" ing soda is made with the object of counteracting any tendency to scour or undue looseness of the bowels. DE CAYED TEETH. ____. Many Maladies Are Traceable to Them. Statistics published the other day at the annual meeting of the Royal Dental Hospital lend color to the be- lief that people are becoming more concerned regarding the condition of their teeth, says the London Tele- graph. This hospital, which may new claim to be the largest and best equipped of its kind, has materially increased its utility by the erection of new and adequate premises. The total number of patients on whom operations were performed during the past year exceeds the record of the previous" twelve months by some 15,000. In 1874 the total was given as 19,255 ; in 1901, 70,040; and last year, 85,284. The report from which the figures -are taken pays a tribute to the work of the students. which alone enabled the authorities to cope with so vast an increase, and this opinion was inâ€" dorsed in several of the speeches at the meeting, over which Lord Kin» naird presided. The chairman expressed a that since so much attention was being directed to dentistry, an imâ€" portant branch of medical and sur- gical science, the public would come forward with a corresponding liberâ€" ality, and thus enable their large schools to carry on their work. An eminent authority on dentistry ex- pressed an opinion that dental deâ€" cay was greatly increasing among the. poorer classes of London. A perfect set of teeth in an adult was now extremely rarely found. The hospital authorities have for some time past been endeavoring to so- hope cure a perfect set of teeth for purâ€" poses of demonstration. Such a set had recently been discovered. a gum-demon being the fortunate posâ€" sessor."l‘he recent appointment oi army dentists had again brought under notice the question of the dis- qualification of army men because of unsound teeth. The three dentists appointed by Mr. Brodrick will be engaged chiefly in stopping the teeth of men belonging to the troops... and although the measure is at present temporary, it is likely to be con-‘ For soldiers particularly, is not so essential a point where good, soft diet is assured, but- under at the front the point is of vital significance, and‘ has more to do with good health than most persons realize. Anaemia, dyspepsia, general maladies, and slow poisoning are all traceable to unsound, decayed teeth. Something ought to be done at the schools towarns checking the deâ€" cay of children's teeth, and its preâ€" vention. Dentists had been ‘ap- pointed in some cases to the Na- tional schools, but, so far, although provision had been made to secure optical attention for the children at- tending board schools, nothing had been proposed regarding dentistry, a subject almost .as important. The board had appointed a dentist, who was held responsible for the children belonging to their residential inâ€" (Justrial schools, but, beyond this, they were irresponsible.
