Tho "War with Tarasltes.
The time is here when all species of
parasites thrive and multiply with the
greatest rapidity, says an exchange.
The poultry man need not spend much
time huntine them up. They are
around the hens without any doubt,
and a variety of precautionary meas
ures should be taken to keep in check
these inveterate enemies to the poul
try kingdom. An exchange says: Of
course it is needless to talk abqut the
profits of fowl breeding when hordes
of indefatigable vermin arc energet
ically sucking the life bloods of the
birds both day and night The grain
and feed goes to support the lice, the
hens and chicks grow poor, and if not
protected, eventually waste away and
die. It costs enough to feed poultry
without any additional burden oc
casioned by furnishing sustenance to
hungry legions of parasitical beings.
You ask a great many poultry keepers,
especially the fresher and more ver
dant additions to the fraternity, if
there arc any lice among their fowls
or in their poultry houses, and most
emphatic denials will usually be re
ceived. They have never seen any (be
cause they did not look where they
were), and therefore suppose there are
none. A little closer and more thorough
inspection would frequentlj' result
in a startling revelation. We hear of
hens that do not lay, grow poor and
siclc and finally die; of chickens that
persist in dying when there is no
reason at all for such an ungrateful
proceeding; of other chickens that,
while they do not die outright, yet
bring up those cows, all of which are
young, and some only nineteen months
old when milking, to average $53 per
head for butter which was marketed
only, not counting my skimmed milk,
or milk and butter for family use. I
am delighted with dairying both
winter and summer and know that it
pays. I also can increase my average
per cow considerable. I am now get
ting 25 cents per pound for my butter.
I always milk my cows eleven months
each year. My herd now consists of
twenty -one cows and thirteen heifers.
I raise all my heifer calves I am also
delighted with my cream separator,
and I do not see how any man can af
ford to do without a separator who
has ten or fifteen cows. I also fall to
see how any man can make a success
of farming without keeping a good
stock' of good cows, and then feeding
them well. If it pays to keep them at
all (and it docs), it pays to keep the:n
well: I find it so. Farmers' Keview.
Origin of One Dairy.
The advantages of soiling, or feed
ing animals largely or wholly on
green forage crops in the barn instead
of pasturing them, says a government
bulletin, are that less land is required
to maintain a given number of
animals, the food supply can be better
regulated, the animals do not waste
their energy in searching for food, and
the manure can all be saved and ap
plied to the soil. The arguments for
partial soiling are that the amount of
feed f urnibhed by pastures is very ir
regular, being usually abundant and
of good quality early in the season,
but falling off later from drouths or
early frosts. In case of milch cows
unless some supplementary food is
given at such times the milk flow di
minishes and the cows fall off in flesh.
Concerning the relative amounts
of food furnished by pasturing and by
soiling, the Pennsylvania experiment
station found in experiments in two
years that "in round numbers we can
produce from three to live times as
much digestible food per acre by
first class prices for it The dairy la
now being run with the idea of making
it a-good illustration of how a practi
cal institution of that kind should be
run. The butter is put np in pound
packages,inclosed in wooden wrappers,
and in a form that maybe readily cut
into small cubes for the plates of in
dividuals. The whole appearance is
very neat These packages are being
supplied to select customers at 25
cents per pound in the summer and 30
cents per pound in the winter, and the
demand exceeds the supply. The
would-be customer need only visit the
working dairy at the station to decide
to become at once a patron, The
neatness of the whole institution is
such as to convince him that the but
ter is not only first-class in qual
ity. but possesses that important
requisite cleanliness. To watch
a mass of butter being man
ipulated on the butter worker is
enough to increase the butter eating
capacity of almost any man. He is at
once impressed with the idea that the
"grain" of butter counts, and that, if
it does not affect the quality and
flavor, it at least is, "a thing of beau
ty and a joy forever." My advice to
Wisconsin farmers is, "Take a trip to
the Wisconsin dairy school, and watch
'the boys make butter, it will be an in
spiration." Jay.
The Chnrn.
Jno. Gould in Practical Farmer says:
A correspondent asks us "why we al
ways talk about a revolving churn
when we have any advice to give in
that direction?" It is for the simple
reason that we think them the best all
around churn for the dairy. The best
churning that is now possible is se
cured by concussion, and not by stir
ring, and in the latter case there is apt
to be more agitation in the center of
the churn than at the sides, and so
more churning in one place than an
other, and with it imperfect bringing
of the butter and its consequent loss.
There is a great loss in butter making
from this very cause, the cream is ag-

rVRAMIDAI. MUSHROOM IlKIl LN CELLAR.
We hope that some of our readers will
take interest in the subject suiliciently
to begin cultivating them on a small
scale. The outlay is small and the
?ork not hard. ISesides, mushrooms
are not particular as to conditions, and
may be grown in cellars, barns and
other outhouses, especially old green
houses. Welelieve that many a family
might grow mushrooms with little
trouble, and find in them a valuable
food product, even if the family of the
grower consumed the entire crop.
-Mushrooms arc very nutritious. This
is contrary to the idea of those that
know nothing of them. Most people
suppose, because of their rapid growth,
that they are unsubstantial in tex
ture and can possess little of food
value. On the contrary, it is doubtful
if there be any other vegetable
possessing a like amount of nutri
ment The statement is made that
mushrooms possess as much nutriment,
pound for pound, as beef. This is
doubtless a fact, as mushrooms take in
oxygen and throw off carbonic
acid gas, as do animals, while nearly
all vegetables do the opposite; that is,
throw off oxygen and take in carbonic
acid gas.
To those living within easy reach of
cities, the culture of mushrooms pre
sents a means of revenue. The de
mand for mushrooms is large and
prices are high. France supplies most
of the mushrooms used in American
hotels and restaurants, and even then
canned goods have to be used. AVith
an increase in the supply of fresh
mushrooms would come an increase in
the demand. It seems strange that
American gardeners have so long neg
lected growing this delicious vege
table. In France caves and cellars are used
extensively for the growing of mush
rooms. Most of our farmers have
cellars, either in houses or barns, that
are suited for this vegetable. A few
requisites are necessary: the cellar
should be warm, dry and dark. Drafts
beds will thrive. If the shed is with
out a window, so much the better, as
darkness is desired. If there is no
room on the floor a shelf may be con
structed on a side or in a corner. This
has the advantage of being out of the
reach of rats and mice. The beds
should be made and treated the same
as those constructed upon the floor or
ground, and are said to be as product
ive. These beds will not do in winter
after water will freeze in the sheds,
unless they are carefully covered each
night It is best to use them only for
summer and fall production.
The methods we have mentioned
above ma be easily adopted by nearly
all readers of the Farmer's Review
The growing of mushrooms in green
houses applies to comparatively few
those that have green houses, or that
desire to conduct regular mushroom
houses. Hot houses are generally too
warm for the mushrooms to do well in
them. Green houses are better, as the
temperature is more suitable for the
growth. Nearly all grcan houses are
suitable, and the beds can be placed
in parts that are not used for other
things, as under benches. As most
plants can not grow in the dark, dark
places can be the better utilized for
this purpose. In cool weather the
beds may be covered with straw or
old carpets to keep the temperature
from getting too low. Above we show
an illustration of a house made
especially for growing mushrooms. It
is a sort of grceu house, but no glass
enters into its construction, being un
necessary and also a detriment The
building is especially designated for
growing mushrooms throughout the
year without the use of artificial
heat It is built with the idea
of rendering it independent of
outside atmospheric conditions. An
excavation is first made like a
small cellar, and the dirt taken from
this excavation is subsequently used
for banking up. The walls arc built
hollow, thus giving a dead air space.
and the house is banked up to the eves
of the roof. The roof may be thatched
with reeds, slabs or anything that will
keep out air and rain. A hollow space
maybe left in the roof to be filled with
sawdust The floor may be of burnt
clay, or any material that will give a
dry, hard surface. Drains may be
necessary to keep the place free of
water.

mushroom beds in an open garden in

It will be understood that the above
is partly an estimate, but it points
very strongly in favor of soiling.
Trials at the station in Wisconsin
showed that "by soiling in summer a
certain area of land will 3'ield double
the amount of milk and butter that it
will when pastured."
The Connecticut Storrs experiment
station maintained four cows from
June 1 to Nov. 1 on a little less than
- l-l acres of soiling crops, with the ad
ditiou of a very light grain and straw
feed.
At the Ontario agricultural college
and experiment farm about three
fourths of an acre of soiling crops
(green clover, green peas, tares, oats
and corn fodder) was suilicient, with
the addition of ?:2 pounds of wheat
bran, for two cows for sixty-three

was any real profit in keeping cows.
If there is such a thing as the blues, I
had them. Just here a man came along
to buy four of my high grade Jersey
, heifers which I was glad to sell. After
he bought them he persuaded me that
winter dairying was just the thing,
and also recommended the silo.
I concluded after he was gone that I
would plant corn (it being in April
then) and also make a silo. I at once
had my six Jersey cows ssrved by my
Jersev bull, calculating to try winter
dairying. I also bought in the fall
i four fresh milch cows and entered up-
on winter dairying, which has proved
I to me very profitable. I then began
to test my cows by weighing each
I cow's milk, setting the satrc separate
ly and weighing butter. It proved a
wonderful revelation to me. Some
disappointed me one way and some
the other. In the fall of 1S92 t pur
chased more cows, also a De Laval
cream separator and a Iabcock milk
tester, and shortly after that time I
got a market for my butter at 23c per
lb. by the year. I began at once to
study the cow, what to feed, and how
to care for her. I found that it was
through kind treatment, proper feed
and bedding, and, most necessary, a
warm stable that she was enabled to
o her bet I have been able to
under ordinary conditions."
If soiling is to be practiced it is im
portant to have a succession of green
fodders throughout the growing sea
son, with eaeh in its lest stage of
growth for feeding. There should be
no breaks in the succession, and each
crop thould be used as nearly as pos
sible at the time when it contains the
largest amount of valuable fcoJ con
stituents Dairy Wisdom.
Fr.oM Fakmeus' Review: "Get wis
dom, and with all your getting, get
understanding,"' runs the proverb,
which, by the way, is one very applica
ble to the dairyman and to the would
be dairyman. There are two mediums
of exchange in this country, money
and knowledge. If any dairyman will
put a 5-cent piece into every pound of
butter and convince his customer that
it is there, he can tell his butter for
5 cents more a pound than can his
neighbor, other things being equal.
If he will put ." cents worth of
knowledge extra into his butter, and
convince his customers that it is
there, he can sell that butter for
5 cents more on the pound. There
are dairymen who are putting 10 and
15 cents' worth of knowledge into each
pound of butter and arc getting that
much higher price for it. Get wisdom
and Knowledge. They pay in the
dairy. Every young man that intends
to farm for a business should, if possi
ble, take one or more terms in the
dairy school of his respective state, if
it has one, and if not, then in the dairy
school of some other state. Even if
he does not intend to devote his
farm to dairying, it will pay
him to learn how good butter
can be made and sold. Side issues de
pend on knowledge, as well as the
cardinal ones.
SOMETHING IX THE SEIXIXG.
If one wishes to see the value of
biains in butter making, he has but to
visit the Wisconsin dairy school at
Madison. The beys arc making first!
itated unevenly, and no small amount
passes off in the butter milk. The
revolving churn is easier kept clean,
the cream is more easily put
in and the butter taken out; and if
one wants to dispense with the butter
worker and in all small dairies they
should the end-over churn supplies
the place, and quickly puts butter in
the best form to pack or print How
butter in the future will be churned is
hard to foresee, but at present in the
farm dairy the revolving churn fur
nishes at the least expense the best
and most thorough method of churn
ing yet chanced upon. True it is this
method may by improper methods
give bad results The churn should
never be filled quite half full of cream,
and the latter should always be in an
easy flowing fluid condition to churn,
so as to get the full beneiit of the con
cussion. Then stop when the butter
is in the fine grain and with changes
of weak brine, wash out the butter
milk and salt in the churn, and one
has up to date about as perfect a plan
of churning as has yet been discov
ered. Tiir.KK are more things than one to
be said in favor of the silo. The
clover will not require much exten
sive machinery or cost in handling;
the mower can be put in as soon as
the dew is off, and the product trans
ferred to the silo almost as soon as it
is gathered up. All this makes the
grower independent of favorable
weather for curing.

Paris. This represents winter culture
in that city, where the temperature is
not generally so low that the beds can
not be protected. In the cut the beds
are covered with old mats, carpets,

the method followed is this- The horse

before it is to be used. All chips,
stones and rubbish are taken out, and
the manure is then placed in heaps two

"I'm sorry, darling," said the devo

eat here, and everything is locked up
down stairs."
"Ain't there a cracker here?'

"No, precious, not a thing."

I'oor Kind of Mixed Farming:.
At a Dakota institute a farmer said.
In North Dakota we have mixed farm
ing of two kinds. The most common
kind we meet with, is the farmer who
mixes things up say, for instance,
the man that will start to sow his crop
without first knowing how many acres
he has ready for crop of any kind, will
sow his wheat without first cleaning it
thoroughly, and will sow wheat as
long as his seed holds out, then sow
oats in the same way, and barley to
follow, not knowing how many bush
els it requires for each certain field,
and without regard to how the
land had been cropped and prepared,
the previous year. Then when harv
est comes, he is not done with his
hay potatoes not all tended;
so he is haying, harvesting and culti
vating his potatoes at the same time
threshing, plowing and hauling grain
to market also. This is one kind of
mixed farming a general mixing up
of all kinds of work and hardly ever
completing any one job at a time. Hut
this is not the kind of mixed farming
that pays in North Dakota, or any
other state, I think. When you find
a farmer of this kind, if you will go a
little further and examine the regis
ter of deeds' books you will be almost i
certain to find a mortgage on the
farm that has been farmed on this !
mixed plan.
be uniform, from day to day, as near
ly as possible. Sudden fluctuations
of temperature or of moisture are not
desirable. These are, however, but
the requisites of a good cellar, and
therefore any one that has a really
good cellar can grow mushrooms. In
some parts of the east where the mar
ket gardeners are beginning to grow
mushrooms on a large scale, cellars
are being built for this purpose alone.
If it pays to excavate and build cel
lars for this crop it certainly will pay
to grow them when the cellar is
already at hand. As the mushrooms
are to be grown in the winter as well
as in the fall months, care should be
taken to make the cellar impervious
to cold, especially if the culture is to
be on a large scale. If only a small

How to Make Lemonade.
The Journal of Hygiene says lemon
ade is the most perfect of drinks; that
it ought to be substituted for tea, cof
fee and alcoholic drinks. This is the
direction given for making it: "For a
quart, take the juice of three lemons,
usiniT the rind of one of them. Care
fully peal the rind very thin, getting
just the yellow outside. This cut into
pieces anil put with the juice and pow-
tiercu sugar, oi wnicn use two ounces
to the quart, in a jug or jar with a
cover. hen the water is at boiling
point pour it over the lemon and sugar;
cover at once and let get cold."
Edible bird's nest is the ne3t of tho
sea-swallow of tho Malay archipelago, a
bird of the size of a common martin.
It builds its nest cf a glutinous sub
stance, which it is said to derivo from a
sea weed. This weed is swallowed and
partly digested, and then disgorged and
fashioned into a nest as large as a coffee
cup. "When fresh, these nests aro of a
waxy-white color, and aro said to bo

Where the pineapple is very fine and
ripe, it may be brought to the table
whole: it is a pretty dish, and can bo
served by digging out the eyes, one or
two at a time, with a cheese scoop or
pointed spoon. The sections will bo
found to run clear to the center, and
will split as readily as thoe of an or
ange. This method of serving a pine
apple is that always used in I'higlaud
for the fine hot house fruit, which
never costs less than half a guinea.
Pineapple thus served is eaten by hold
ing in the hand and dipping the pieces
in sugar, in the manner familiar to us
for strawberries.

upon this idea carried out to the letter.
All of his children have borne pet

The stable manure is then put in,

however, consist of manure. When

During the fall months, at least,
mushrooms may be grown in the sheds

closed sheds, as then the beds will
survive any sudden fall frosts. In the
