THE MISSION OF WEEDS, No one should disclaim against weeds. They are certainly troublesome to the careless farmer, but when rightly con. sidered are a gentle reminder by benefi- cent nature that we are neglecting work which should be done. And as virtue is its own reward, that of careful atten- tion to business oppcrtunities always pays the farmer handsomely, Weeds are thus an inducement for the farmer to do his whole duty in the thorough culti. | { vation of the land, which would be apt to be neglected otherwise. — American Agrievlturist, FERTILIZER FOR LAWNS. Sulphate of ammonia is an excellent temporary fertilizer for lawns, stimulating the grass into a vigorous growth for a few weeks, but it does not last like bone Aust and phosphates. When the grass on a lawn becomes brown in summer a top dressing of sulphate of ammonia will give it a g hours, but it 1s soon If the sal- mn yd in a few and absorbed by the muck and this ap- plied as a top dressing to grass, its effects will be a little more permanent, — New York Sun. PUMP FOR A DEEP For a well feet deep 8 special pump is required.

With a stream eight inches in diameter and flowing 200 feet per minute, the supply will atnount to me venty cubic feet per minute, or enough for 200 acres of land at the highest estimate, As the velocity of the stream is of great WELL. 99x 225 of importance, it would be most desirable | to use a steam engine for the pumping. This would be the more necessary with the propeller pump, in which the velocity is a matter of importance, if the capacity One inch of water per day would be a sufficient sup ply for fifty with an eight-inch pump. A six-inch pump would give one inch of water per day to twenty-eight acres. The probable cost of an outfit for this purpose would be not far from $300. 1f only one acre is to be irri gated 8 small windmill would suffi. cient with a pipe of two inches diameter, The cost of an outfit of this capacity would not be more than $150. — New York Times. ACres be REMEDY FOR CHICKENS WITH THR GAPES, Mrs. K. R. Taylor, Kentucky, writes ns is prevention, but in a wet season this is difficult of application except by the few | scientific poultry raisers. When preven tion has failed, the thing to do is to take a long horse hair and bend it, twisting the loop so 1t can be probed into the chicken's throat with a spiral motion, Catch the chicken with the left hand, press its wings to its sides, hold its head | back, open the bill, put out the tongue , until a coarse twine can be hooked over the raired portions at the base of the | tongue and held beneath the bill firmly, while the horse hair loop is worked into the windpipe gently to the depth of two or two and a half inches of the loop. With a spiral motion twist it out, and repeat until you bring several bunches of small, bright, red worms. After all have been extracted, the chick will, per haps, froth a little, but in ten minutes it will eat its food, If in twelve or twen- ty four hours it still throws its head back ou bands says blue grass is botter than horse hair, but the lstter is always available.

Experiments which were made during three years are re ported in full by the [linols Station, showing the feeding value for pigs of corn, of corn and grass, of grass alone, the comparative value of soaked and dry corn, the value of droppings from cattle and of apple pomace in feeding pigs. In eight trials in which corn alone was fed, aside from salt and coal slack, pits varying in weight from sixty five to 90 pounds, kept in pens of small lots without grass, gained at the rate of from ing with corn only, be no constant The authorities say the best remely | S—— TW —— —-— -————to m a —— lot in which three yearling steers were feed corn, gained in twenty-four weeks 195 pound.

For instance, thirty bushels of wheat being desired, and it being known that | this quantity of grain with the straw | | takes from the soil forty-five pounds of | nitrogen, which is equivalent to nearly | fifty pounds of ammonia; twenty-three pounds of potash, which is equal to sixty | pounds of the muriate of potash; about twenty-five pounds of phosphoric acid, | which is equal to 150 pounds of the | best superphosphate; all the other ele. | ments required are supplied with these fertilizers, Three hundred pounds of nitrate of soda would supply the nitrogen required in another sad perhaps the best form, Now, it is to be supposed that the soil will contain some fertility that would make up for suy possible failure | that might occur with the fertilizers, and thus the expected results are reason- able to be looked for.
