FARM AMI (MRU EN. A Cow With a Cough. A rough may be mined by indigestion, ami this is probably the cause when otherwise a cow appears to be in good health. Overfeeding will cause difficulty in breathing by adding too much fat to the heart, liive the cow adoso of epsora salts (one pound) dissolved in warm thin linseed tea, about a juart; and stop feeding grains for a few days. Mash the brnn nnd add a pound of linseed mcnl to it for a few days and gradually return to the former fro ling, lircwer's grains should not be fed when warm or sour. Xio Turk Times. Foetlinir Meat to Fowls. Too much meat, either ground or fieh, is injurious, as it causes bowel disease, It mny bo fed three times n week, if the dried, ground meat be used, and twice a week if fresh butcher's meat is given. Uuo pound of frch meat, chopped, is about the proper ijuatitity for fifteen hens, and hall a pound of the ground meat answers for a meal, mixed with other food, for tho same number. If preferred, tho ground meat may be given twice a week and the fresh meat onec. (Jround tlsh is also excellent, and mnkes a chenp and good egg food, if given with ground grain. i';ra and Fireside. Individuality of Horses. The individuality of horses varies as much as that of meu. Everyone has a different mental as well as physical make up. Jromc horses seem t i possess sense, are quick to understand and obey the least sign, motion or word of their mas ter; others aro not innptly termed "lunk heads," always awkward, lumbering about, dillicult to teach, and never ruiiko anything in a horse-ological sense. It may be true that these traits in a horse are sometimes duo to tho habits of his driver or owner, and that the horse him self nwy not be so mu, h to blame for his ignorance, but howevor much ho is ex cused on this score., there is a surprising difference in these mental qualities of horses. Dctwccn a nervous, sensitive and intelligent horse and his considcruto owner how Iarao a union of fellowship nnd sympathy exist. In the stable, on the road, if overtaken by an accident, the cool, sensitive man is suro to have a quick sjmi.athy for his horse. lie trusts his master us his master trusts him. If the master is quiet the horse will he equally so, knowing everything is sale; if tho mau blusters, or becomes auxious, or exhibits fear, the horse knows it at once, and becomes restive likewise. Xeie York It.ruld. Manure Yonr Lawn. If neglected last full, it is not yet too Jnte to recuperate impoverished lawns. A thin sprinkling of manure, placed on tho grass and ruked ott just as it begins to grow lively, will bo found to put new heart into the gras. The fact of fre quent cutting of the grass nnd carting away the clippings, which should al ways be done, will in time impoverish the richest soil. The addition of a coat ing of manure in tho winter or spring keeps all supplied again. Almost nny soil, as that of the common garden, that can bo spared, or that from below where a compost heap has been laid, or the cleaning out of ditches by tho roadside, that is part decayed vegetable matter, is a splendid thing to spread on the lawn. Any of tho latter class is excellent for such lawns as have dead spots in the grass. In this case, if tho whole is left until frost is gone out of tho ground, then spread on, raked in, sown with grass teed on the bare spots, and well rolled after, the lawn will very often be as good as when tirst laid down. ISothiug is move attractive around the dwelling, whether the ca-tlo or cot tage, than a nice green sward of grass. It is cool and pleasant to the eye in the hottest weather, and in the most scorch ing sun-hiue, and ail cau enjoy it, who do not live in the pent-up streets of solid brick and tnortar. Have a grass plat around your dwelling. Prairis Farmer. Eoft-Sonp on tho Farm. An abundance of what is called "soft soap" may bo had at the store or from the wagon of tho venders. Herd soft ttfgp is mado, not bought. It is mado Tiff.rt the refuse fat of tho kitchen. Every economical housekeeper has her pot for "soap grease" whirli, instead of trading it off with the soap man for soap, often of a poor grade, she makes into soft-soap. Tho other ingredient necessary is lye, mado from the ushes of hard wood. A substitute for lye may be mado with the pota-h of commerco dissolved in water. Tnis solution is used in tho same manner as the lye, beiug mied with the fut, hot or cold, according tho method adopted in tho family. fcoap mado in this manner is always soft, a brownish, thick, viscid, somewhat jelly-like soft-solid, which by no amount of stauding will ever befomo hard, Potash aud soda both combine with fut to maUe soap; potash or lye, which js the same, always makes a soft oap, while soda in tho "form of salsoda, or soda ash, always makes a hard soap, but soda or potauh soap may bo con verted iutj hard soap by adding to it common salt, whi"h supplies soda. What is generally sold as "soft soap" is simply common whito hard soap, to which so much water has been added that it no louger returns its form, but becomes a semi-suhd mass. If one purchases a quart of this stuff, ho buys at lea-t three half pints of water; we aio therefore justified in call ing tho stull a "fraud." J!csidcs it is greatly inferior in streugih for all the purposes for which it may bo used, espe cially in horticulture, to the home-mado soft-soap we have described. If one has uu old orchatd, tho trunks and larger branches covered with loose bark, on which mosses, li hens and still lower forms of vegetation find a font-hold, and which ailord a resting and hiding place for numerous injurious inserts in various states of deve opineut, tho lir,t thing tu bo done is tu M-rapo oil all tbe loose it-ales of hark.

This has been .ouud destructive tu the chiui.-bbu". .' -it .'.'tiCKi-.uri-.U Grafting Wat. There has been a good many inquiries In regardng how to make grafting wax. There are many variations in the quantity of the ingredients used by different grat ers, the essential requisite being to form a composition that is soft and pliable enough to bo freely applied, and yet not melt or run in the hot sun. . The follow ing ingredients and directions aro given In Thomas's American Fruit Vu'turisl: Melt together three parts of rein. three of beeswax and two of tallow. A cheaper composition, but more linblo to tdhcre to the hands, is mndo of four parts of resin, two of tallow nnd one of beeswax. Some grafters use linseed oil instead of tallow, In equal parts. The wax may bo applied directly to the graft. sr it may be spread when softened by mllicient warmth on what is termed 'grafting pnper-' cut into strips, nnd wound around the graft when inserted. Agricultural Heeieie. Points for Trc-p Planter. Next to having hcalthv, thrifty young liecs, not overgrown ami not spoiled by iryiug or freezing, early planting is of irst importance for all sons ot decidu ous trees, so that all wounds may callous )ver before the season for visible growth. Sext seiure healthy, lull-size leaves tapablo of maintaining growth. This Is helped by pruning tho top well, ro tio.ing all side-branches nnd even short tiling tho main stem if needful to ic iuco the number of growing points 'buds When thso ftro few they an he adequately supplied by the weakened roots, and the leaves will then be fully leveloped and filled out to full size. To usuro that they continue to be supplied throughout tho growing season, tho oots that are to supply them should be iccured from dryness before hot weather y a wide nnd liberal mulch of any so:t If vegetable waste. And in order that ;hc supplies may not fail to asc end freely lo the lenves, these should bo allowed o form anywhere on the stem, the lower lown and nearer covering and shading t the better. A strip of cloth or paper wrapped ;. irally round the stem from the lowest leaves to tho ground will help ;o keep tho vessels of the stem from con tacting by parching sun or wind, and, tu tho caso of trees linblo to bo iufested Dy borers will serve a most useful pur pose in repelling tho parent beetle. This iarly planting is favored much by haviug the holes dug during or before winter, ind the finer mold for tilling rendered ill the finer nnd dryer by being heaped ap aud exposed fully to the frost. The trees are always best obtained in tho fall nd kept in a cool cellar with the roots covered well with sand or fine earth, or tomo sheltered place in a dry bank out lf door, safe from mice and rabbits. A wrapping of the stem of each will secure this, and the wrapping will thou bo ready in place for summer use as above. X. w lurk Tribune. Farm and Garden Notes. Look out for lice on poultry, cattle ind hogs. Inspect drain outlets and clear out obstructed ones. A flock of poultry on a farm is indis pensable to tho setting of a good table. See that the pigs have plenty of water lo drink, cveu if they are fed on slops. If you have plenty of wood ashes you will not be compelled to buy fertilizers rich in potash. Cows th;.t aro to havo cr.lves in the spring should not bo fod meal now, but bulky, juicy food. Stock by this timo are becoming tired of winter's restraint and vermin will badly worry them now. Spending tho crops before they aro made is working to disadvantage; so far as possible, pay as you go. In saving seed mako it an ilcm to se lect that which has ripened first; with corn this is very important. Tho old method of mixing up a dough of corn meal with cold water for chicKs won't make them grow. A fruit grower ailirms that in tho cul tivation of peaches stable manure pro duces too much growth of wood. Asido from the home consumption of eggs, a stnnlt Hock of poultry, when Iiroperly handled, may be mado protita le. Hons should lay from, this date until warm weather without ceasing, and will, if tho conditions aro nuythng like fa vorablo. "If we were raising peaches largely, wo would uso ground bone nnd karut or muriate of potash," says Jiurul Kaio Yorker. Keep tho young catt'.o growing stead ily, l.'est authorities agree that feed goes further with the young animal than with the old. If breeders will at all times breed from their best layers, then will wo know that blood will tell in poultry as well as other thoroughbred stock. Few root crops nre more profitable than carrots. They aro an excellent food for horses nnd colts, and thoy stimu late tho flow of milk in cows. Tho wren is one o the best friends of farmers, and they should be eucourased to nest on his place, lie lias yet tn "see the sparrow feed on insect food of any kind. Iiy using the best seed tho more vig orous and healthy plants aro secured; and then by giving good cultivation a growth i3 made, and iu this way large crops aro secured. lied varieties of raspberries may bo plauted iu fall or spring, tho cap va rieties only iu spring. Set in check rows, rivo or six feet apart. Cut o:r the old caues close to ground when plant ing. The proper time to water horses is just before they cat, not afterward. Watering after eating is tho cause of more deaths of horses by colic, than any other cause. I'so good common horso Rcnso iu feeding and watering und caro for your stock. Any soil that will grow a fair crop of corn may bo selected for peaches. The same cultivation is given peaches the l r.-t year that is necessary for corn, which means that the cultivator should be passed over tho ground frequently and the grass kept down. The cherry is about tho only fruit tree which cau bo recommended for shade in pastures along roadsides, as tho hardy varieties of cherries are nut ulfected by the trampling of live stock or the passing of vehicles, which would prove most injurious to most fruit trees. Ilarly iu the season, befojo the potuto is up, the beetle will attack the tomato plants iu hotbeds or that may be set out in the opeu ground. It will destroy a wholo Held ui egg plants in a single bight, aud otteu does inuro damage to curly plains than it does to the potato .Top. The best tonic fur fowls iu the drink ing water is ten drops of tincture of irou iu a yulluii of water, i iiice a week a teaspoon of tincture of camphor is ex cellent if the fowls are debilitated. If the Hock is in ood condition, nothing but pure, fresh water need be u lowed, li'.oug with a variety of food. SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL. Mr. Cavett, of Tittshurg, has Invented a powerful submarine ram. The temperature ot Siberia was once much milder than at present. There is said to be sulphur enough in Lower California to supply tho world. The American Meteomhigieal Journal offers prizes for tho best studies of tor nadoes. Tclecon is suggested as an appropriate and convenient uamo for a telephonic conversation. In the new system of lighting cars by electricity tho train may bo broken up at will without cITccting tho lit; lit. College professors say that there is no science in which it is so hard to keep thcnisolvcs informed as electricity. The recent invention of a light motor encourages tho belief that it may event ually be used for aerial navigation. Electricity moves J'W.OlH) miles per second; light moves IDS, OlKI miles per second; a rirlcs ball moves 1400 feet per second. Tho numerous attempts lo run electric tram cars by direct gearing, that is with out a countershaft, have as a rule been unsuccessful. An entertaining nnd instructive feat ure of tho recent meeting of the Chicago Dental Society was a display of electric dental apparatus. The rapid spreading of tho technics of electric lightning is said to bo devoid of a natural basis as long as thcro is no theoretical aud practical souudness in the construction of dynamos. l'asteur.during a recent month, treated 142 persons for rabies at his institution in I'aris, of which number only two died.

A very singular new species of marsu pial mammal from New Guinea has been described by Milne-Edwards under the name of Dactylopsil.t palpator. It is remarkable tor the enormous length of tho fourth finger-more than au inch longer than tho two adjoining digits. A correspondent recommends tat smoke for a diphtheria cure. His treat ment is to put a few drops of tar, liko that used in shipyards.on a warm stove lid and to require the patient to inhalt and swallow the smoke tcu times a day for fire minutes each time. Ho has been invariably successful in his experiments. Q. D. Dempscy, iu tho Ar.-hite:', Lon don, a lys: 'jOne important rule lias tc be observed in order to produco good brickwork, viz., that the mortar should bo as thick as it may be, or as nearly ap proaching the solid form as is consistent with the degteo of plastic. ty essential for its proper distribution aud penetra tion into the joints, while tho bricks should be thoroughly wetted on tho sur face. By these means tho adhesion be twecn them is rendered the more perfect, and the subsequent amount of shrinkint nnd settlement is reduced to a mini mum. A Calcutta Snakcry. Tho late King of Oudo had built I iaiakery ia the gardens of his palace ni Sarden Beach, near Calcutta. It was an Oblong pit about thirty feet long by twenty feet broad, the walls being nboul twelve feet high and perfectly smooth, 6o that a snake could not crawl op. It tho centre of the pit thero was a largi block of rough masonary perforated s that it was as" full of holes as a sponge In this honeycombed block tho snakes dwelt, and when tho sun shone brightly, they came out to bask or to feed. His Majesty used to havo livo frogi put in tho pit, aud amuse himself bj seeing tho hungry snakes catch tho frogs When a large snake catches a small froj it is all over in an instant, but if a smaf snake catches a large frog, so that h caunot swallow it at onco, tho frog'i cries nre piteous to hear. Again auc again I have heard them while out shoot iug, and have gono to tho bush or tufi of grass from which the piteous criei came sometimes iu time, sometimes tot late to save tho poor froggy, though tin snake generally got shot. As a iiuaJ story, let me tell how a frog has beet seen to turn the tables on the snake. Two gentlemen in Caehar, some yean ago, saw a snake seize a small frog anc attempt to swallow it. But suddenly i large frog jumped forward, seized tin snake's tail und began to swallow thi snake. How tho allair might have endec cannot be told, because my friends im Erudentby drew near to watch the com at, when the frogs and snake took alarm, and the big frog disgorged the snake's tail, and the snako released tho little frog, aud they all bcu lied olf. But the tule is perfectly true, and bo:l the gentlemen who saw it are still alivo, aud I only regret that it was not my good luck to see the affair with my owe eyes. Indian Letter. Coffee nnd Its EfTccls. Tho great virtue of coffee is that i stimulates and refreshes, these proper ties being due to caffeine. It also con tains gum and sugar, fut, acids, easeiut and wood fibre. Like tea, it power fully increases tho respiration, but, uu like it, duos not affect its depth. By iti uso tho rate of the pulse is increased aud the action of tho skin diminished. It is a mental stimulus of a high order. Carried to ex. ess it produces iibuoruiul wakefulness, indigestion, acidity, heart buru, tremors, debility, irritability ol temper, trembling, irregular pulse, t kind of intoxication ending iu deliriuir aud great injury to tho spinal functions. I'ufortunateiy, there are many coffct tipplers who depend upon it as u drunk aid upou his drum. Uu the other hand, coffee is of sovereign efficacy iu titling over tho nervous system in emergencies.

A Rono Mine. That was a strange cargo which the steamship Wingates ""brought into this pon, last week from far Alexandria, Egypt. Seven hundred tons of whnt; 'l.cesa, villain?" Mo, sir; bones. Seven hundred tons of bones of man and beast. gathered iu the shifting sands of the great Sahara. For centuries have they been left in tho track of passing caravans. For tenturies this ghastly treasury has grown in wealth. Bones of Arab chief and negro slave; of European traveler and of captive in savago war; together they havo luin and whitened while tho shining tand whirled and drifted nl out them, now giving them shallow burial and now laying them bare and glittering under tho burning sun. Ono would have said that no brain but a Yankee's could have conceived tbe idea of turning these grim relics to a commercial account. But as it happens, it was a O'erman inspiration. A t ernian mind conceived the thought of going to this awful desert, rich in bones ns was Sinbad's dreadful Valley of Diamonds, and gathering up shiploads of them to be used in the manufacture of paper, In the refining of sunar, for the handles of knives and for fertilizing the ground. Tho Wingates had a disastrous voyaga. The sailors said it was "all along o' the boiies.'' But she has come safely to port and is now discharging her curious cargo, in which there is more food for fancy than iu any cargo which lias been entered in Kew Vork for many a day. Xeit York Urn. A Miser's Hatfuls ofUold. Joseph W. Griffith, who died recently at Huntington, Ind., was one of the mot eccentric characters in Northern Indiana. He lived almost entirely alone, and had a great aversion to women. After his death tho undertaker who took charge of tho remains found in Criliith's trousers pockets the sum of $17011 in currency. In various daces about the store were found lat fuls of silver and gold, all covered with dust having apparently been un disturbed for years; promisory notes ex ecuted by leading business men, run ning far up into the thousaudt, were found among the effects of this singular man, Griffith having refused no one whom he deemed worthy and responsible. His entire properly amounts to over $"iP,0ui, and it is not thought ho left a will. l or a week before his death he was ul most totally blind, but despite his in firmity insisted on remaining alone and taking care of himself, refusing bluntly all oilers of aid from his friends au5 relutives.

The wreck of a torpedo-boat is some thing of a novelty in marine disasters. Such an accident happened in tho Bay of St. Jv'azaire, near Toulon, rcceutly to the French torpilleur "No. llii," com manded by a Lieutenant Shilling. The vessel was of a mediocre und disapproved type, of recent construction, thirty-five meters loug and of fifty-three tons dis placement, very capricious iu rough weather, nnd easily capsized. That was what happened to "No. 102," which tilled and sank in forty-five minutes, causing the death of three unfortunate machinists ton lined in the hold, and of three of the crew who were drowned in the heavy sea. Lieutenant Shilling and the others clung to the capsized vessel, and were rescued by another torpedo boat of the five which were man i uvring in the bay together.

Among tha Indians of Bra7.il there Is tradition that the whole human ra e sprang from a palm tree, says Vlck'S Magatint. It has been a symbol of ex cellence for things good and beautiful. Among the ancients it was an emblem of victory, and, as such, was worn by the early Christian martyrs, and has been found sculptured on their tombs. The Mohatnedans venerate it. Certain trees, said to have been propagated from somo originally pi an toil by the prophet's (laughter, are held sacred and the fruit sold at enormous ptlccs. The day upon which Christ entered .Jerusalem, riding upon tho colt of an ass, is railed Palm Punday, being the first day of the Holy Week. In Kurope real palm branches are distributed among the people, liocthe says: In Until, on 1'alm 811nd.1v, They have the tru palm, Tho cardinals bow reverently And sing old psalms. Elsewhere thnso son;;s ar sung mid olive branches; More southern climes must lie content with the sail willow. Tho books relating to the religion of Buddha were nearly all of them written upon tho leaves of the fan palm, nnd by missionaries they have been used in tho place of paper. The noblo aspect of this treo, together with its surpassing utility, has caused it to be called "the prince of the vegetable kingdom," and it has been immortalized in history, mythology and poetry. Eating Mitskrnt. "Did I ever cat muskriti" said Depu ty Ilegister James A. Visger. "Well, I should remark.

" When I had speared one fellow I took hold of him by the head instead of the tail, and ho nearly took that linger olf. Hut I would sooner eat oue muskrnt than five pounds of porterhouse steak. AVhen the boys used to go on a muskrat hunt in tho old days, and catch fifteen or twenty apiece, they would sit down in the muskrat houses piny cards to see who would win the lot. It generally ended by one man winning the whole pile, and he would go staggering home under a load of ISO to SOU rats. DUroit Jourr.a'. Incidents or a Urent Drought. An every-day incident of the drought which has prevailed in the Hiverina dis trict of Mew South Wales is described by an eye-witness, who says: "When a mob of sheep gets near a tank a rush for water takes place, all crowding to getadiink at the much-coveted fluid. The strong trample on the weak, who go down, and cither get diowued 01 smothered in the mud. Very often, too, comparatively strong sheep get bogged and die. To prevent the watea becom ing putrid, every passer-by, no matter who he is, stops and pulls out any sheep ho may see stuck, whether dead or alive, and to do this is looked upon almost ns a religious duty, the omission of which is a greater sin thau the breach of one of tho ten commandments." Weight or a Snowflake. Tho lightness of snowrlakes is the re sult of their surface being so great when compared with their volume, and Is ac counted for in some degreo by the largo quantity of air amid their fro: en parti cles, itaowfiakes contain about nine times as many volumes of air. entan gled, so to speak, among their crystals, as they contain wntcr.
