wmm «â- 7 OILINO J'AllM MACUINKUY. It is Hufe to say that thousattds of dollars are annually wasted un- nt'CjHsaiily through tarelossnoBS or ignorance in the oiling of farm machinery. jNot long ago the writer knew of a forehanded but "hind- BighteU" farmer well supplied with all the heat uiakes of modern imple- ments who was constantly seckinR the repair nhoji, all because he clioBe to deiuind upon tiie kerosene barrel jiistiT-U of a live-cent box of axle grease. All hi.s boxings were jnore or less cut : most of them more so. And yel, although a fairly intelli- 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 keeiiini; them clean ?" Some men do not appear to under- stand that tiio use of oil or grease is to present a siiioolii, easily mov- ing surface with sufficient body to carry up tiie load, though it is also true that the siiindles nnd boxes should bo kept clean, a point even more genernlly neglected. One kind of oil or grease may be made to answer for all i)urpose.s, but we have never yet found one that is anywhere near the best for all. A farmer cannot allord to carr.y in Klocic too much idh; inaterial, but a dollar or two judiciously investe<l in difteient kinds of lubricants is well investe<l, alway.s, jjroviding the oils are made intelligent use of. For cleaning of guiu, 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 I better than water for a lubricant for hea^y machinery. That requires body, such as the tJiicU, heavy oils j furnish. For light machinery, like lawn mou-ers, 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 1 it more sensitive to the influence of | gum, and less able to overcome it. i 1 he light, clean oils (but never kero- i Bene or anything which evaporates j at once) should always be i)referre(l i for such work, for buggy axles ! more body is necessary and more 'â- guiuminess allowable ; still, the rule ' should be as light and clean an oil ' as will do the work. When it corner to h( avy waggon axles a unich i heavier body is necessary, and the ' light machine oils, though satisfac- tory for a short time, by reason of their quick ditjintegration are i^ro- ilfic sources of dry spindles. For such spindles a very much heavier oil ur grease .should be used. It nia.v be a bit of valuable news to some that good pine tar will usually put an end to a hot box after everything has failed.

Bacteria that g«t 'into milk during the process of milk- 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 slopped. 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 re- cently demonstrated the advisability or 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 BOW and her pigs together will ex- tract more nourishment from a given quantity of food than will tho weunod pigs alone. The sow and pigs were weighed i separately each week, and any loss or gain of the sow was deducted from or added to the increased weight of tho jiigs. The pigs were allowed to remain on the sow for ten weeks, then a similar course of feuding 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 skim- milk in making a similar increase WATKK IN TllK .SOIL. The moie the soil is pulverized, and the liner its condition, the greater Its cniiacity to hold water. .Stand- ing water in uiidrahied soils absorbs Ileal, ar.d if it is not drained off |t evaporates, and the heat is there- by lost, lea\lng Ihe soil cold. lOvery Oftrrel of water evaporated by Ibo lun takes as much heat as wou'.d He rp(piired to evaporate tho same Hiantlty of water in a cauldi^on. The soil and planls are chilled for Ihe want of heat absorbed by tho vater. Drainage warms the soil ind prevents loss during druught, locaure in every soil Ihero is a ilace where the free walor slaiuls, rhich place is called tiie "water able." It may bo six inches down i- muny feel. It is the bottom of he soil reservoir, or similar to a ishpan. The dishpan, or tho upper lid tilladlc soil, is the reservoir. It I I the part in which the water is ' eld as films on the soil jiailicles, | These films travel from particle, to particle, the general tendency being upward, because the moisture is passing oil near the top of tho soil by means of evaporation and appropriation by plants. Moisture is constantly supplied from below through capillary attraction. Water is constantly rising from tlie lower depths of the soil through capillary attraction, and by this process bringing up with it the salts and soluble fertility released. We have an exaggerated example of this in the alkali sofls of the West where the process works to the de- triment rather than the benelit of the farmer. L^xcessivc cjuantities of these salts are brought up from the lower soils in solution, and then us 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- stantly washed and drained away The knowledge of this principle shows the value of deep and proper cullivalion of land devoted to crops. As the water rises from whatever depth, it is charged with solutions of phosphorus, nitrogen, potash, etc., enrountered in its cour.se and now rendered soluble through its action, and thew, as ovai)orntion takes place, it deposits about the roots and plants. Deeply cultivated soils D il. only allow fur the deeper peiie- > -ation of roots, but they hold more water and produce greater solutions and plant fertility. TIIK CAHK OP MILK. As soon as It is drawn. milk should be removal from the stable to a place provided for the puri)ose, and there aerated and cooled to .'"lO degrees or 00 degrees Fahrenheit. This should be <loue either by setting tho cans into a tank of cold water and stirring occasionally, or by passing the milk over a cooler. The latter inotliod is to be lu-eferred if the cooling can be doiio in a pure atmosphere free from dust. It is of great importance to have a small milk house or some clean room away from tho odors of tho stable in which to care for milk. Tho sooner milk is thoroughly cool- ed after it is drawn, ainl the' lower the temperatiue to which it is CALF Foon. A mixture which has been very largely used, and with excellent re- sults, by an extensive breeder, con- sists of two j>arls 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 soda 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 bo used either as an addition to skim- milk or as a complete substitute for milk, after the calf is five or six weeks of age. Tho addition of cook- ing soda is made with tlie object of counteracting any tendency to scour or undue looseness of the bowels. DECAYED TEETH. Many Maladies Are Traceable tp Them. Statistics published the other day at the annual meeting of the Royal Dental llosiwtal lend color to the be- lief that people arc becoming more concerned regarding the condition of their teeth, says the lyondon Tele- graph. This hospital, which may now claim to be tho largest and liest equipped of its -kind, has materially increased its utilit.v by the erection of new and adequate premises. The total number of patients on whom operations were performed during the i)a.'-.t year exceeds the record of tho previous twelve months bv some 15,000. In 1874 tho total was given as l'J.255 ; in 11)01. 70,0"10; and last year, 8.''),28d. The report from which the figures are token pays a tribute to the work of the students, which alone enabled tho aulhorilies to cope with so vast an Increase, and this opinion was in- dorsed in several of the si>eeches at the meeting, over which Lord Kin- nalrd ]>resided. The chairman e.vpro.ssed a hope that since so much attention was being directed to dentistry, an im- portant branch of medical and sur- gical science, the public would come forward with a corres[)on:ling liber- ality, and thus enable their large -schools to carr.y on their work. An eminent authority on dentistry ex- pi'essiHl an opinion that dentiil de- â- ay was greatly increasing among the poorer classes of Loudon. A perfect .set of teeth in an adult was now extiemely rarely found. The hospital authorities have for some time past been endeavoring to st?- curo a perfect set of teelh ior pur- poses of demonstralion. .Such a set had recently been discovered, n guardsman being the fortunate pos- Knssor. The recent appoinlinent ol army dentists had again brought under notice tho (piestion of the dis- qualKication of army men becau.se of unsound teeth. The threw dentists appoinUd by Mr. llrodrick will he engaged ehiolly in stopping the teelh of men belonging to the troojis. and although the lueasiire is at present (omiiornry, it is likely to bo ccm- tinucd. For soldiers part ieulurl.v, round tt-eth nie most imiiortaiit. It is not so essential a point where good, soft diet is assured, but under camp c. millions at the front tho joint is of vital signilieance, and l;ns more to do with good health than most persons realize. Anaemia, dysiiep.sia, general maladies, and slow poisoning are all traceable to unsound, decayed teeth. .Something ought to be done at the schools towarns rhecking the de- cay of chlUhvn's teeth, nnd its pre- 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 piopo.sed regarding dentistry, a subject almost as im|iortant. The board had appointed a dentist, who was held responsible foi' the rhihlreii iM'longing to their residential in- dustrial schools, but. beyond this, the.v were lrresj)onsil)le.
