THE FARM AND GARDEN. DEATH TO BUTTERFLY EGGS, A woman gardener says she repelled the butterflies that lay eggs that hatch into green worms by dusting cabbage when wet with dew with flour, turning the crank of a common sifter just enough to let a little fall on each head, repeating the application once, later in the season, *‘The moths would fly sround over the plants but would not alight on them.".—New York Tribune. THE BRONZE TURKEY. The bronze turkey is the vriginal bird from which all the known varieties have descended, It inhabits the greater part of this continent, and when well for and fed, twenty-five to pounds at growth, - It has much improved by careful and skilful breeding; its prin- cipal feature is its handsome plumage, ich is of a dark brown color and has brilliant golden bronze reflections in the sunlight. Breeders of these birds are fc ty been to be found in almost every locality if | only sought for.— New York Times. HOW TO CATCH A FOWL, Few persons know how to secure a fowl to advantage. Never seize a fowl by the tail, if a fine bird, nor touch the back, but grasp both legd at once, with a firm, tight, quick hold, and then raise free from the ground or perch and hang the body down clear of any obstacle, This method does not raffle the or turn a feather, which in a nust be avoided. When the web of the fe athers is once broken it can never be united again, and where much handled this often occurs, giving ragged appearance. It is the source of | much annoyance to a nice, clean, smooth bird to have the plumage ruffled. "Rheir bodily covering is regarded with the ut- most care, and the lustre aud beauty of it indicate the health and strength of the fowl. — Kansas Farmer. 2 fine bird to RREPING COWS INDOORS, E.

But if very green it must be entirely free from water, either of dews or min, which carries bacteria to the hay, and creates | more violent fermentation than is pos. sible with the juices of the clover alone.

The mineral constituents of plants, such as phosphoric acid, potash and lime, are derived solely and entirely from the soil. Nitrogen, on the other hand, may be taken into the plant from the { air or from the sofl, and nitrogen is the | most valuable constituent of manures, | and by far the costliest ingredient of { commercial fertilizers. It now seems certain, [rom experitnents and analyses made both in Europe and this country, { that many of the so called legumes, pecially the clovers and peas, have the power of gathering a part of their nitro- gen in the form of protein. The protein compounds form blood, muscle, tendon, bones and other nitro genous tissues, This makes plants of this class especially valuable as fodders in supplying the protein in which nmay of our most common fodder plants are | lacking When they are plowed under, or are fed to stock and the manure is returned to the ground, they also supply | the nitrogen which other crops—such a | wheat, rye, oats, grapes aud root crop ~are unable to acquire for themselves | except through the medium of the soil. It has thus become quite Fenecally under stood among farmers that, whether cul | tivation for the sake of their own prod 'ts may be profitable or not, there are | bot few soils where they can be ignored | in the rotation of crops without leading eventually to improvement,—New Yori { World. | CH FARM AND GARDEX NOTES.

Ducks are so much clumsier than chickens that it is not a good plan to keep them together in the same yard. Heos should never be fed so well that when they are given a good range they will not forage a good portion of the | time, | Oneadvantage with stone drinking ves. sels is that they will keep the water cool much longer, while they are easily kept clean, Summer pruning of the vine, when doue at all, is asually overdone, and it is but little practiced by successful grape- growers, If the poultry are confined now a good plan is to feed soft food in the morning, | a green food at noon, and whole grain at night. In selecting out the roosters to keep for next season's breeding, take those that are compact, wedium size and very active. A good nest egg can be made by mak. ing a hole in the large end, letting the yolk run out and filling the shell with plaster of paris.

After thor. oughly washing them put them over the fire in salted boiling water and boil until they are tender enough to pierce with a fork, then drain them, dress them with salt, pepper and butter, and either serve them whole or mash them like turnips. The tender tops of radishes make excel- lent ‘‘greens,’’ Chicago News, PRESERVING The surplus eggs of the season may be preserved for winter use or sale in this way, which is that practiced by the | demlers: The egus, selected when fresh and clean, are packed in vessels containing thick limewater, made by slacking fresh lime in water and per- mitting it to settle, The vessel for the eges should be clean, The limewater is stirred and a small quantity 1s poured into the vessel, When it setties, the | eggs are packed in the soft lime on the | small ends until a layer The | ews should not touch each other. More lime is then poured on to form a founda. tion for another layer of egys, and a covering to exclude air the vessel is being filled from day to day.
