B Bi B B K V ■■ ““ Tills variety promises to be the great market raspberry of the country, absolutely 
hardy thus far in winter, and the foliage endures without harm the hot sun. Grows 
vigorously everywhere, even on light sandy soils. Chas. Downing says: “I consider it the most promising market rasp¬ 
berry before the public, as far as yet tested. The fruit is large, very firm, and the plants, as I have seen them, are vigorous 
growers and exceedingly productive.”

Continued from p. 89. 
To use Straw Without Cattle.— ,- W. R.,” 
Vanderburg Co., Ind. Where stock are not kept, straw 
may be spread directly upon the fields and plowed in. It 
will do as much good in that way as in any other. The 
use of straw in manure is only as an absorbent, and to 
add bulk to it; it is not increased in value by putting it 
under the stock, except as that promotes decay. 
A Stone Bakc,- ‘A. JD.,” Richardsville. Iowa. 
The stone gatherer described in the American Agricul¬ 
turist for July, is an excellent implement. The teeth 
are made strong, about 10 inches long, and not mote than 
5 inches apart and curved ; if made of good iron this 
will answer as well as steel. The stones should be raked 
in rows, just as hay is raked by the horse hay rake. 
Ashes in a Poultry House.— “F. S.,” Brook¬ 
lyn, N. Y. Wood ashes should not be used in a poultry 
house, excepting for the hens to dust themselves in, and 
then in a box or half barrel. But sifted coal asbes are an 
excellent thing to scatter in the house, and serve to de¬ 
odorize and keep it clean. 
Cow Pox. —“T. O. B.,” Providence R. I. There 
is no cure for cow pox. It is a disease of the blood, and 
will run its course. Its severity may often be lessened, 
by giving one-ounce doses of hyposulphite of soda daily 
for a week, and one half as much for the second week. 
Keep the sores dressed with clean lard, and be gentle 
with the milking, as the udder and teats are very tender 
to the touch. An affected cow should be separated from 
the rest, and not be milked by the person who milks the 
others, lest the malady spread. The disease is known by 
hard lumps and scales upon the teats near the udder. 
Feeding; a 6 Months’ Old Colt.— ‘ A. G.,” 
Portland, Me. In feeding young animals there is danger 
of over-feeding. A 6 months’ colt may have one quart of 
oats daily and no meal. If fed meal it will bolt it and 
suffer from indigestion. Crushed oats may he given to 
advantage. If any meal or shorts is fed it should be 
mixed with cut hay; hut until the colt grows older it is 
best to give long hay and whole grain, lest its digestion 
should become impaired. The ration of oats may be in¬ 
creased gradually, until the colt is a year old, when it 
may have 3 quarts daily. 
Clouted Cream. — “A Reader,” Neenah, Wis. 
The “ clouted cream ” spoken of in the January number, 
can only he made profitable when there are enough 
wealthy families and large hotels to purchase the prodnet 
at a price per quart equalling that of bntier per pound, 
then it may be produced at a saving of the cost of churn¬ 
ing and manipulating the butter. It cannot lie made in 
connection with a butter-dairy, except by dividing up 
the cream between the two products, or using it all for 
the clouting; there .is no cream left for butter-making 
after this process is completed. There are no manufac- 
facturers that we know of who make apparatus for this 
purpose. The price obtained is about equal to that of 
butter made from the same amount of cream. Clouted 
cream is used on the table for the same purposes that or¬ 
dinary cream is, and is by many preferred to that. 
To Preserve Eggs.—” H. M. K.,” Perrysburg, 
N. Y. To preserve eggs successfully, they should be 
taken when quite fresh, and packed immediately in a 
tub or vat containing a thick mixture of lime and water, 
or what is called “ milk of lime,” and kept in a cool place. 
Scurfy Pigs.— “ C. A. S.,” Forked River, N. J. 
There are various causes for scurf upon the skin of pigs. 
Feeding with buckwheat, nestling in warm manure, or 
using any litter that tends to heat will cause it. It is a 
disease of the skin, and can easily be cured by removing 
the cause, washing the animal with carbolic soap and 
water, and giving a teaspoonful eacli of sulphur and 
cream of tartar every day for two weeks. 
Tarred Nettiug for Slieep.— “P. O ,’’ Barbour 
Co., Kansas. The tarred netting described in Stewart's 
“ Shepherd’s Manual,” can be procured in England for 
about 8 cents a yard. H. H. Stoddard, Hartford, Conn., 
has light poultry nets, and could doubtless procure 
stronger ones fit for sheep penning. There is a wire mesh 
fencing-cloth, made in this country, which would proba¬ 
bly serve the same purpose. Makers should advertise.
