THE CARE OF EWES. " Bew and When te Fued the Animal for Mut Successful Results. American Agriculturist has the fol lowing te 6ay en feeding ewes: r w nen ewes are led exclusively en drv feed there Is danger that they will be come feverish and constipated. When this condition arises they will generally show It by lying en the ground and stretching thcmbelves nnd straining. Sometimes they will pluck at their wool and show signs of distress and uneasi ness. When sheep nre in this condition they are net In geed health te have young. They will net previde as much milk, and their udders are ltable te be caked and sere, or te show evidences of inflammation. There Is danger that they will net own their lambs, and the milk will net flew freely. When the udder is ere or much inflamed, even if the cwe owns her lamb, the will refube te let It SHI-IT fTllflnr Clint, -(rv..ien...., .1..

Potatoes de net seem te be adapted te this purpose; turnips are a natural feed for ewes, as well as for ether sheep. Carrots nre ex cellent, and se nre beets nnd mangels. A few roots or a small ration of tlicae, say four quarts n day, with bran and Unwed meal, will put ewes In a most healthy and vigorous condition, and at the same time this combination of feeds will tend te prometo the growth and support of the fetus, and when the little lamb is born it will have the bone and strength te help Itself, nnd it will gire far less treuble te get it en Us legs nnd obtain its sustenance from the mother. There ii such a thing as feeding the lamb before it Is born te nourish nnd strengthen It through the bleed of the dam. Tills is nn important matter and should never be lest sight of In the feed ing of the mother. This idea is particu larly npplicable te the ewe, as Its off spring is se likely te be weak and mere or less helpless. If the ewes linve net been fed en such feeds during the win ter, the sooner this Is dene before lamb ing tlme the Utter.

There Is a prevailing lelief that ex treme humidity favors the development of the disease, but wlint further inllu inllu ence the character of the soil has iu pro ducing it is net positively known. During the j car 1837 n number of trials were niade ut the New Yerk ngrlculiural ex pedient Millien, In which it wns bhewn that nn excess of inelsti. e nnd the use of fresh btable manure materially In creased the number of scabby jKJtatees. The data obtained ere summed up ns fol fel fol eows: "1. The scab Is net primarily caus ed by n fungus. 2. It is net due te the work of insects. 8. In nearly every in stance nn increased yield was accom panied by an increased jHireentage of scabby potatoes. 4. Any marked change in the rapidity of growth, cither an In crra'u or n decrease, tends te an increas ed production of 6cab. 6. A continuous growth from the time of first vegetation until the tubers nre fully matured ap pears te be the condition least faverable te the production of 6cabby potatoes." Extensive experiments with remedies for scab make it appear that special com mercial fertilizers, whlle net Infallible specifics ngulns t scab, are mere or less elllclent. Mr. E. S. Carman says en the subject: "We liave used as much ns n ten of potato fertilizer which i3 strong in potash te the acre, nnd yet we har vested clean potatoes, with smooth skins nnd without scabs. Net 60 when fresh farm manure is used.

CLASS AM EARLY BTAIIT FOIt CUCUMBERS. The seeds nre planted in sods under glass by many of the Leng Island nnd New Jersey market gardeners, and the crops pushed along by extra fertilizing. A dressing of guano or bone meal, well mixed In with the soil, Is advised for melons when the season Is short, by Peter Hendersen. Tills well known cul tivator Increases the yield of his melon crop by a system of pinching the main vine, sons toenceurngo the lateral sheets upon which the fruit Is berne. The plan illustrated in the cut has the commendation of Popular Gardening, nnd Is a miniature het bed beneath each hill of plants. Te previde this a hele ene feet square nnd 18 inches deep is made where the hill la te ceme and this Is II I led with fresh heating herse ma nure, ni for a common hotbed, nnd en this H put n few inches of flne geed mel low soil.

The usual method practiced around nbeut New Yerk Li te transplant cucum ber plants started in sod te the open ground, marked out ns for corn, three .feet each way. A generous shevelful of manure has previously been mixed thoroughly with the soil In each hill. The manure used has beceme well retted. Onnlrn Culture of Chrysanthemum. Many persons have been deterred from planting chrysanthemums in their gar dens for fear nn early frost might ceme suddenly in the fall nnd thus prevent or destroy their blooming. If, howevor, early (lowering varieties only are used, there nre very few sections of the coun try where they will net succeed, says American Agriculturist. First procure gced healthy plants grown In pets and plant them in spring as seen as all dan ger of fiest Is past. Have the ground well enriched with manure nnd de net plant closer than three feet npart, each way. If they can be planted en the south slde of a heuse or ether building, a beard fence, or hedgoef evergreens, they will lx) nble te etand much colder weath er and will coutlnue blooming Inter in the season. Keep the plants well tied up te stakes, if necessary, te prevent their being broken by the wind, nnd water occasionally during the summer If the weather U het nnd dry. If geed flowers nre te be grown they should never be allowed te wilt for want of water, and the plants should nt (ill times be kept in n geed growing con dition. Mail in September in middle latitudes the llewcr buds will make their nppear nppear ance. If priz or exhibition flowers are desired ,nly ene bud should be left en each branch or sheet, but In ordinary culture this "disbudding," ni It Is called, may Iki dispensed with. All (lower buds, however, which nre deformed or ene Billed should be removed promptly ns seen in discovered, as they only take up tlie stiength of the plants uselessly. Weak liquid manure may le used ence or twice u week with ndvnntnge while the Imih are setting, but should be dis continued ua seen ns they begin te show color. IViCcrl Flowering Strawberries.

The first named ripens n few days nfter Adam's Early, while Reslyn Hybrid ma tures about the same tlme and is ene of the large growing sorts. The Cery com, which has been fully tested, ranks nmeng the costliest of all the large red cob varieties, and Is an ex cellent Bert. Stewcll's evergreen is new everywhere recognized us the standard late variety. Ilickex's improved is a flne medium season corn. The sweetest of all sweet corns is Dlack Mexican, n black kerueled variety. Professer Hirl says that a large spoon heaping full of pure Paris green te forty gallons of water is enough for use en apple tices. Tea I lour. A bed of tea roses should accompany the Hybrid Perpetuals in every garden, for the purpose of prolonging the bloom ing term, nd the teas nre the only true perpetuals. They should be planted in !eds in a rather dry position, somewhat shaded from the strong sun, and in regu lar rows se that the plants can be cov ered with soil nnd leaves or litter for winter protection, nnd they will well re pay the treuble by a magnificent display of flowers, coming Inte bloom quite early, and continuing until late in the autumn.

Practical Directions en a "object Net Oea ralljr Understood. Shrubs, when properly planted In deep, rich soil, demand comparatively little care, but "hew shall these be pruned?" is a question often asked. There can perhaps be no safer answer than the fol lowing, furnished by ns high authority as Garden and Ferest: Severo pruning tends te enfecble cither shrub or trce, and the removal of large branches usually Interferes with the natural nnd, therefore, most graceful outlines of cither. Se fnr as any general rule can be laid down, it may be said that shrubs will be the most vigorous nnd in their best form the year through, when no pruning isnttempted beyond the thinning out of the weaker nnd over shadowed branches in order te nfTerd the stronger ones n better opportunity for growth. The shearing of shrubs Inte formal shapes, such as cones nnd spheres, or cutting off nil the tops nt the same level, means, of course, the destruction both of the health and beauty of the plant. Hut when shrub ere used for special purposes they require special treatment. If abundant bloom Is the object chiefly aimed nt, the tlme and manner of prun ing should be chosen with this end In low, Bhrubs which bloom early in the spring, like Thunljcrg's splrrea, for ex ample, form their flower buds en the growth of the previous year. If this growth is cut back in autumn or in early spring, the flower buds, tee, nre cut away nnd the bloom of the year Is de stroyed. With such shrubs the proper ceurse Is te wntt till the flowering season is ever nnd then prune nwny a consider censider consider nble portion of last year's weed. This will encournge new sheets, which will start nt ence nnd begin te make flowering branches for next spring. On the ether hand, shrubs which flower late In the beasen, like the Rose of Sharen, seme of the Tamnslsks nnd the Great Pnnlclcd Hydrangea, make their flower buds en the weed that forms during the growing kc.13011 of the Bame year. These Inte flowering shrubs should le pruned new, liefera the new growth Rtarts. If the Hydrangea just mentioned h cut back se as te leave but ene or two eyes en each branch of last year's growth, thefe will put out vigorous sheets, each of which will bear at the extremity a large panicle of flowers next fall. These diiectlens may be summarized ns follews: Fer general purposes, shrubs should neer be cut back te far ns te impair their vigor, nor 1k pruned se ns te de stroy their natural outlines. Shrubs which bloom early, en weed of the previous year, should net Ik) pruned In autumn or in early spring when it is desired te secure abundant flowers, but immediately after the blooming season. ShrtilH which bloom late, en weed of the current year, should be pruned nfter the leaves fall in autumn, or in early spring before they start. Sncctfnl Tench Culture. J. II. Hnle, Seuth Glastenbury, Conn., says: Successful )cach culture depends .first en healthy trees, secondly upon n prejer temperature In winter nnd lastly upon what varieties we plant. As te the first, the leaf curl, the borer and the yel lows are the chief causes of unhealthl nees. The curl is of little account nnd can be get rid of by stimulating 11 rapid growth wherever It U seen. The lercr has killed mei 0 1 rccs than nil ether causes combined. M010 than thrco-feuiths of the cases of be called yellows can be laid te it, and yet, with a little care, he Is net such n bad fellow te handle a sort of pest that need watching and knowing his habits you can easily kecp him out, or, when ence in the tree, readily get at him; but we have found prevention bet ter and cheaper than cure. Te prevent the depositing of the egg3 U our fir&t object. We therefore nn nually apply a wash for two purposes; first, te smooth the bark, nnd becend, te keep this insect away. Fer n common bucketful two quarts of strong, soft soap, half a pint of crude carlxilie acid, nnd two ounces of Paris green, with water nnd lime enough te make a thin paste that will ndhcre te the tree; if convenient we add n little clay, which nsaibts in making It Mick; this we apply with a bwnb or brush nt the base ofthetree nnd in the crotches of the main branches. New I'uncy Iljbrld I'ctiiulus. The new fnncy hybrid or large flower ing kectien produce magnificent flowers, twice the nlze of the old sorts, in crim sons, maroon, rese nnd white, blotched striped, beidcred nnd veined iu the most cxqulsite manner. Many of them have large threats of a bright yellow color. The large flowering varieties nil require te le trained te stakes or trellises, but de net glow 60 tall nt the first named. The large, double (lowering, fringed strain nre preliahly the meet wonderfully de veloped (lowers, considering their ante cedents, in existence. They nre se easily grown us te be within the reach of ull (lower levers, and -pretty enough te or nament the collections of the most fas fas tidieuu Ttitus Told by Others. Professer J. L. Uudd saya "the best time te prune fruit trees is when the lea es nre nbeut two-thirds grown in the spring." A successful fruit grower say6: Thin out the grapes; rcmove every alternate bunch, where they are thickly set, en a branch or ene vine, nnd bce the differ differ cuce in the size of the bunches that nre left this fall when they ripen ever theso 0:1 vines nnd branches net trimmed. Fer 11 near by market, says Orchard nud Garden, one of tholetof the new strawberries is liuliach, sometimes known ns Iluhach Ne. 0. Unfortunately its flower U pistillate nud the berry is tee soft for long transportation, although large, haudsome nud of flne quality. I'll 10 Wutrr for funis. Fowls of nil kinds and nged should net only be abundantly supplied with water, but it should be pure water, nnd should be kept where they can get te it easily. Where they are compelled te get their drink from stagnant peels or from ether beuiccs contaminated by kiruyard teach ings or otherwise, it is qulte certain net only te affect them unfavorably but te preduce serious diseases. The vessels containing water for their use should be cleaned out nt Icab't ence a day and be refilled with clean water and protected In biich n way as te liest prevent filth from getting into them. Many persona nre net only negligent in this respect, but 6c? m te l ignorant of the impor tance of pure water for the health of their fewls: Te Pruicnt Heg Cholera.

It will doubtless surprise many te learn that In nutmegs we find n powerful poison, generally believed te be of the narcotic order. It Is only comparatively recently that cases of poisoning by it have been recorded In this country, prob preb ably for the reason that, Iwlng be uni versally considered hartnlcrs, when dan gerous or fatal consequences have fol lowed Its use the cause ha3 been over looked. The quantity of nutmeg which It ii necessary te take te preduce serious Byuiptenw has never lcn estimated.

Her sight became affected, and she complained that everything ap peared misty. When the chill passed off, slight rover und sweating followed, with Intense, throbbing headache. Under prejicr treatment this woman recovered. In hercase no narcotic symptoms appear ed, but that does net prove that nutmegs nre net of the narcotic- order. Bosten Herald. The Nickel's Leverage.
