SWKT5T rSAg.
Tlic mnin point in the culture of sweol
pens is to cut the flower every dny. II
one bloom is permitted to nurture and
form need the vitality of the plant la ex
hausted nnd tlie blooming U at an end.
This beautiful variety has been much im
proved of late, and a number of very
benutifM kinds have been produced by
crossing. The best effect is gained by
planting several varieties, a few of each
together in rinirs, and training them on
strings fastened from peps in tho ground,
to a central stake, or the mixed seeds
may be planted. The seeds should be
planted at once, and by continuous cut
ting the bloom will last all through the
no scu'iirn in s.r.
Professor Hilcy pronounces as fallacious
the idea that insects may be driven from
trees by boring holes through the bark
into the wood, placing sulphur therein
and plugging tho hole. The belief in
their effacing, he says, is founded ou tho
supposition that the poison passes with
the sap into general circulation and with
it into the foliage, and is destructive to
leaf feeding insects. It is an entirely un
founded idea, nnd is based upon ignorance
of the fact that the suk-t.uico remains in
tact and is not taken uji in the circula
tion. Instances where it has seemed to
Buecced have been recorded, and in such
cases its apparent cflicacy was duo to a
coincident disappearance of the insect
from some other cause.

Considerable has been said of late about
oyster shells. Now, I do not understand
chemistry, nnd therefore do not claim that
it is absolutely necessary that a hen must
be supplied with them in order that she
may produce a perfect egg; but this one
thing T do know by experience, that my
liens will lay a great many more eggs
when supplied with them than w hen not.
In the summer I keep my hens in yards,
nnu feed them corn, oats nnd wheat, let
ting them out one, hour before sundown
into a grassy field. They have gravel nl
ways by thefii, but if they arc allowed to
be without the shells three days I notice
a decrease in the egg basket. I write
this as my'experience, thinking perhaps
it may benefit some beginners in the poul
try business, who may neglect this (as I
think) one important item in the business,
from the idea that some men have inferred
that they do no good. Poultry Keeper.

Corn meal alone is not merely too heart
but it is decidedly too heavy for healthful
food. For use ou the table it h lightened
in various ways, nnd generally eaten with
something else less likely to compact in
the stomach. It is necessary to do the
same with it for stock, especially if the
corn is ground. There is nothing better
to grind with corn than oats. Their hull
makes the mixture much lighter, and the
grnin itself supplements some of tho de
ficiencies of the corn. Oats are also ex
cellent to put in with corn in the car,
when the latter is to be ground. Unless
this is done it is often hard for the miller
to make tie cob grind tine enough. If
any way damp tho cob breaks up into
pieces, and only the grain is grouud and
that poorly. Nmiehow the mixture of
one-half the bulk of corn iu the cob of
oats or barley will give the miller an ad
vantage in working the whole up as finely
as may desired. Cultivator.
TUlUilKG UNDER GREEK CROrS.
Our. own opinion is that it is not best
to turn under a green crop or turn over
the soil at all iu midsummer, unless the
land can be sown at once in a crop that
will promptly cover tho surface again
with vegetation. We believe tlmt tho
decay of a green crop under tho soil will
exert a more decided chemical and bene
ficial effect on the soil than if the same crop
be permitted to dio and decay on the sur
face, and this is especially true iu clay
soils. On 6audy soils, already open and
porous and containing very little insolu
ble material that can be rendered avail
able by tli fermenting process, it is prob
bTy best to permit the green crop to die
and decay on tho surface. On the whole,
it may be left for each one to determine
for himself according to the circumstances
and consulting convenience. We arc sat
isfied from experience thut wheat or oats
will not do well sown immediately after a
heavy green crop has been turned under,
because of a w-ant of compactness in such
u soil. Southern Cultivator.
STRINGY MILK.
The cause of stringy milk, says the
New York Timet, is probably due to an
inflamed condition of the udder, and an
abnormal action of the milk glands by
which fibrin is separated from the tissue
and mixed with the milk. Sometimes it
is due to an abscess in the udder froir
which pus is discharged mixed with
fibrous tissue. The remedy is to give the
cow a pound of epsom salts, to stop feed
ing meal; if cottonseed meal has been
fed that may be the cause of the trouble,
and its use should be suspended. Oi.c
the cow bran mushes, and foment ihe
udder with hot water, rubbing and knead
ing it gently with the hands, and ai'iei
wiping it dry apply camphorated soap
liniment. Iodine iu any form should not
be used, and although it is often recom
mended its use is injurious and is to bo
avoided. When cows that are milking
arc fed rich food libcrallv, caution should
be exercised not to overfeed them with
grain food, anil esju-cially cotton seed
meal. Some cows cannot take more than
two pounds a day of lliis extremely rich
food without injury.
Sl'I'liltlOIi VALIU OF Yol'.Mi PLANTS.
Why, a.-ks Josiah Hooker in the New
Yolk Ti ibuiu, divide old bearing hughes
of currants, gooseberries, flowering
shrubs, elc, lo increase one's stock of
plants? This is necessary in the ease of
species dillieult of propagation, but fur
the Kieat majority ol shrubs a simple
bard wood cutting will emit roots readily
iu print'. These rooted cuttiiiiis, if
properly transplanted, rarely receive any
setback, but continue growing vigorously
from the start, ami quickly arrive at the
flowering and fruiting ape. (In the other
hand, old, matured plant, prubably
(United iu growth, if taken up and di
vided still retain a large portion of hard,
old wood and tough, useless roots, l'ritiu:
these as we may, the plants will require
a long time to recover from this treat
ment, and frequently never form attrac
tive plains. Another point too uiten
overlooked is that V'tuni,', vigorous shoots,
ami, consequently, large, healthy foliage,
lire absolutely nei essury for the formation
of )H-rfect floweisaud fruit, and, as a rule,
only it la young plants can In st results be

DAINTY FBKMNG COWS.
If a calf is at all dainty alwnt lit food,
do not keep it for a cow. No pedigres
can offset the disadvantaire of poof
appctito and poorer digestion. Giving
the calf as great a variety of food as
possible is the best plan we know of to
imake it a hearty eater. The greater the
(variety, tho more food can be eaten, and
this if continued means increased digestive
'powers on which in any animal, man not
excepted, future usefulness must depend,

RENOVATINO Ot.n TREKS.
Much time and labor are uselessly ex
pended in renovating old nnd worthless
trees. In many cases the best use to
tnnke of them is to convert them into fire
Kood. Such trees are often chance seed
lings, w hich have sprung up where a tree
is not wanted. In the early settlement
of the country many orchards wero
planted with natural fruit. In the older
States such orchards are yet to be found,
the trees still thrifty, but tho fruit,
ns a rule, worthless, though occa
sionally some tolerable fruits are
inet with. Whoever finds himself in
possession of one of these old orchards, if
,the trees are still sound anil free from de
cay, may find it worth while to graft It
over with desirable varieties. If the trees
are large, it is better not to graft the
whole top at once, but to graft a third
each year, beginning iu the center. Ag

1 Frofessor Henry, in a paper on tho
making and using of manures, concludes
with the following:
First To have rich manure, wo must
'supply our cattle with rich food.
' Second The value of the manure de
,'pends more upon the feed than the nni
mal. i Third Milt-li cows take out more fer
tility from the food than other kinds of
stock; growing stock next, und working
and fattening animals the least.
Fourth Very rarely docs the fertility
taken out of the feed by our live stock
'amount to one-fourth of that in it, nnd it
may be one-twentieth.
Fifth Nearly nil the phosphorus is in
tho solid portion of the excrement, while
,thc nitrogen nnd potash arc in the urine;
hence, if we allow the urine to go to
waste, we have only one of the three
.valuable elements left in any quantity in
what remaius.
Sixth In buying feeds we should al
ways have iu mind the manorial value
that they contain, as well as tho feeding
value.
FOR GATIIERISU APPLES.
An implement for gathering apples. has
been in use in Western New York for ono
or two seasons, and it is highly spoken
of by the fruit growers who have tested
it. It is a large, open canvas receptacle,
into which the apples are shaken from
the tree, it being arranged so that tho
apples are collected in a padded basket,
l..i.. .t.:..l. 1 il Ji: J !,L
tutu vtuieu tuej tuu genuy ueuvereu willl
out bruising each other. Tho frame is
carried around the tree by two men, while
two others shake tho tree, and a fifth
man is kept busy removing the apples. It
is said that the harvesting of an apple
crop can be done with it for half tho
expense of hand-picking. But cheapness
ts not the only nor the chief recommen
dation of the implement. Apple pick
jug is a long operation in a large orchard,
nud some of the fruit must be picked
h"foro it is ripe, if it is nil gathered.
Phis green fruit does not sell as well nor
keep as well, and, besides this, the
;rowth, which is always considerable to
ward the time of ripening, is lost. JIany
large npplo growers assert that tho ma
chine pays for itself in a single season,
find that it is ns indispensable to them as
u mower or reaper to an ordinary farmer.
MANURING ORCHARDS.
The ideas of farmers, says tho Culti
vator, differ widely as to tho proper
treatment of orchards. Occasionally wo
hear a man say he does not believe iu ap
plying manure to orchards, and some
times he caps his conclusions with thut
most inconclusive remark, that he has
tried it, and knows that manure makes
only leaves and wood, not fruit. This
comes from generalizing on too few facts.
One trial does not prove anything, or at
least it does not establish a rule. Young
.orchards, and especially of very vigorous
.varieties, sometimes run too much to
wood. In such cases manures, especially
those rich in ammonia, increase this
tendency. All the nitrogenous manures
'are specifics for leaf growth. That is the
reason why they are so largely used in
gardens. The mineral manures have a
contrary effect. Fruit is the covering of
tho seed, and the seeds of apple, pear
and other fruit trees require potash and
phosphate for their perfection. When
the tree gets to bearing, it is safe to pre
sume that it needs additional supplies of
these minerals. If no other mineral can
be had, apply salt to fruit trees in moderate
quantities. Salt is a solvent, and helps to
make other mineral plant food avail
able. A PRACTICAL MAN TELLS now BE GOT
EGGS EVERY DAY LAST WINTER.
Iu the first place, hens should never be
crowded iu their wiuter quarters ; second,
corn should never be fed to layiug hens,
as it contains no elements that assist in
egg production and is only fit for the fat
tening process. Now, for my method,
not theoretically given, but as a practical
experience. I got eggs every day last
winter and expect to this winter. Jly
houses are not artificially heated, nor aro
they so warm as to keep water from freez
ing in them; but tiny are tight enough
to turn all draughts and the windows are
Supplied with tight shutters. The apart
ments are eight feet square and are in
tended to hold not more than twelve
hens. The floor is of dry dirt, covered
about u foot deep wiih cleau, dry straw.
This should be forked over every two or
three days and changed for fresh as often
as necessary. In the morning I give a
warm feed consisting of bran luiddliugs,
very small portion of oatmeal and the re
fuse scraps from the table, stirred up in
hot milk. 1 feed only what they will eat
up cleau; then, about ten o'clock, two or
three good huudfuls of wheat, oaU or
barley are thrown into the straw; this
keeps them bu-y scraU-hing for the rest
of the day. A heu must be given plenty
of exercise; she is sure to become too fat
to lay if she has uothiug to do but stand
around and eat. "Oh, well," some peo
ple would say, "all this is too much
trouble; it won t pay." All right, then.
if it don't pay to sell eggs at thirty-five
iiud forty cents per dozen, there is no
tnoucy in poultry at nil. But there is
money in it, as hundreds of successful
poultrymeu will amply prove. Ka-ntat

Living for Centuries in a Solid Bock.
The dislodgenient of live bats and

to have so often occurred ns to need no
more proof of the fact. Tho possibility
of a suspension of animation for great
periods of time is certainly possible in

when the superintendent of the mines
had a plaster cast taken of the cavity.
The bat was found one mile from the
mouth of the mine, aud 200 feet from
the surface above. Those who have been
in caves and witnessed the enormous con
gregation of bats will not wonder that
they should become imbedded at times;
but that they should retain vitality for
years and ages is the miracle. It now
remains for man to find out if this power
of thu lower creatures is totally lost to
those of a higher organic and functional

a ballot box for him. If ten men nn-'

each of tho ten boxes."
"Then each candidate would get tho

"That is possible, but I never knew it
to happen. Let mo explain a littlo

"Wo vote with black and white balls.
Each ballot is divided into a black and

balls and black balls, and putting his
hand down in the funnel, drops them ns
he chooses. A white ball is for and a
black ball against a man. If the citizen
wishes to vote for Mr. A, nnd for him

THE FRIEND'S ADVICE.
"Don't lre up. my poor, nl-k friend,
Whllo there' life there' bopc, 'tis ald;
Sk-ker portons oft mend;
Timo to give up when you're dead."
"Thcso letters stand for 'Golden ModloM riisoovery' (Dr. Tierce's), the
greatest nutritive, tonic and blood-purifier of the aire."
"Vou have been told tint consumption is ineurulilc; that when the limp are
attacked by this malady, which is scrolula nll'eotlnjr the limp and rotting them
out, the sufferer is past all help, and tho end is a more question of time. You
have noted with alarm the unmistiikable symptom of tho disease; you have tried
all manner of go-called cures in vain, and vou are now di-apondcut and preparing
fur the worst. Hut 'don't givo up the ship' while Dr. Th ree' liolden Medical
Discovery remains untried. It is not a cure-all, nor will it perform miracle,
but it is guaranteed to benefit or rure Consumption, if taken In time and
given a fair trial, or money paid for it will be prouiply refunded.
