Bonos from the table can bo most profit

and soft, such as fish nmj poultry bones,
will Iks eaten by ng, and the larger
bones can be broken up on a large, flat

keep the pieces fiom flyinfx oft. It is sur
prising how many a flock of hens will
conume. Keep the hens housed at
night nnd on cold, stormy day, and the
hen manuro will be very rich; and I
think the cctrs, also, as their quality as
well as their quantity, is affected by 'the

CAIIE OF COWS.
The skin of a cow is as necessary for
the proper purification of the blood as
lungs are, aud it discharges in offensive
vapor a greater quantity of matter every
day than the kidneys do. While a cow
may discharge twenty pounds of water
through the kidneys she will take into
the stomach one hundred pounds. The
eighty pounds passes off through the skin
chiefly and take along the dead waste
matter which is thrown off from tho fine
capillaries through tho pores of the skin
with tho perspiratiou. When tho milk
lias a cowy odor you may bo ture the
skin is not working right and needs
thorough brushing to remove tho scurf
aud dried matter which covers up tho
poros. And this is tho reason why, if
wo would have pure milk and sweet
butter, the card and the brush must be
in constant use in the cow stable. JV

The American preference for yellow
legs and skin, as indicating the quality
of the birdj for the table, is based on
nothing more than a notion. How the
prejudice originated against birds with
legs other than yellow wo do not know,
but we do know that buyers who judge
of the quality of a dressed fowl by the
color of the legs deprive themselves of
the choicest kinds to be had. If legs had
anything to do with quality, the dark
legged birds are suerior, as it is only a
matter of chance that such superb table
fowls as the Iloudans and Langshans have
yellow legs. One can cut off nice slices
from the breast of a Houdan or Dorking,
and the flesh is juicy and tender, yet
neither breed has yellow legs. But few
games have yellow legs, yet there is not
a yellow legged fowl known that can
approach in the slightest degree to the
game in quality of flesh and large amount
of choice meat in proportion to offal.
Tho '.'yellow lcV' notion is ono of the
most foolish with which the American
people are affected, and as long as they
iudulge iu it they will be supplied accord
ing to their preferences and be denied
the birds that are better. Farm ami Fire

Beans need good soil nnd culti
vation to yield largo crops, twenty-five
bushels per acre or more. The common
opinion that they will make a good crop
ou poor soil is quite mistaken. The
mode of culture is as follows: After
good plowing and harrowing, the seed,
one and one-half bushels mt acre, is
planted by means of a hand drill or a
doublc-horso drill, which plants two
rows; the drills are eighteen inches apart
and tho seed is dropped about twelve
inches apart. The land is kopt clean and
well worked as for any other crop. The
white marrowfat ornavy bean is the most
prolific and saleable kind. When the
beans are ripe the plants are pulled up
by tho roots, the earth being shaken off,
aud are stacked up around stakes stuck
in the grouua ; the plants are arranged
in a square stack with roots laid to
gether at two corners and the beans nt
the other corners. This is to prevent
soiling tho beans, bv which they would
bo injured and discolored for sale. Beans
stained in any way are unsaleable. The
top of the stack is covered with a bunch
of straw. When dry the crop is thrashed
with a flail; a machine will break them
too much. New York Time.
GROWING ONIONS.
Onions, says an Ohio farmer, are a nice
crop to cultivate, but they require
clean cultivation to make tho crop a
successful one. The onion ground should
always be of the richest and best, aud
thoroughly pulverized, so that it will be
easy aud pleasant to work. If com
pelled to use a hard, stiff soil, it should
bo broken up in the fall by plow or
spade, so as to better get the benefit of
the winter's freezing, when even more
than the usual quantity of well-rotted
manuie should be worked into it early
in the spring. Old decomposed hog
manure is specially well adapted to this
crop, also hen manure, which may be
mixed with an equal bulk of soil before
it is applied, and lastly, stable or barn
yard manure. When these have been
thoroughly incorporated I add a heavy
dressing of wood ashes, which have
proven one of the best preventatives of
worms and other injurious insects. Un
less a person keeps his onion-bed per
fectly clean from weeds he had better
raise some other crop, and too much care
cannot be taken to get pure seed from a
trustworthy source. Much care is re
quired that the small seeds be not cov
ered too deep or sown in lumpy soil.
BLACK TKKT1I IN YOUNG PIGS.
Many writers on diseases of the pig
scout the idea that black teeth is to be
considered a disease. Wo believe, how
ever that this, in common with most
popular notions among farmers, has some
basis in fact. Hogs often eat food at a
greater variation of temperature than any
other farm stock. It is chauglng from
hot to cold drinks and food that roost
frequently discolors human teeth and
c auses their decay. We do not doubt
that this cause often produces like effects
iu old hogs eating alternately of heated
dishwater, swill and frozen corn. Or the
decay may be due to lack of proper nu
trition of the teeth. In the case of your
young pigs this may possibly be the ex
planation of what our subscriber has ob
wrved. A young bow fed maiuly on
t orn may not have . enough calcareous
mat'er in her food to promote prop
erly her own growth and that of her
, uuboru young. The teeth in such cases
I would lack rirmness and must speedily
decay. Feeding the sow more skim
milk and oatmeal rather thau corn will
promote her own healthful growth and
und that of her pigs. The sow may her
; eli" be fat, and yet, from lack of bone
iukiug food in proper proportions, be
unable to produce strong, healthful pigs.

SAVE IBB A6HLS.
Aibt-s are a fertilizer of such general
utility that even smnll quantities are
worth saving. Many who use hard coal
for the stoves, in winter and the colder
months, employ wood for cooking, for
the most part, in warm months. It is
astonishing what an amount of rubbish
may be disposed of, and turned to good
account, by saving and splitting into
proper stove size all avnilablo fuel old
boxes nnd barrels for which there is no
other use; old articles of furniture, not
worth mending; branches of trees which
havo been removed in pruning or broken
off by storm. All such materials should
bo stored under a shed, until a stormy
time in winter maks this proper wet
weather work, at which all hands, old
aud young, will find it more like play
;han work. This should be stored in a
wood shed, easy of access from tho sum
mer kitchen. The ashes made during
summer being mainly from wood
should be stored separate from coal ashes.
They are of too much valuo to bo mired
with them. Another sourco of ashes
should not be overlooked. Iu the gen
eral clearing-up which every well-kept
place requires in early spriug, or other
season, there will bo a lot of stuff too
poor for firewood, nnd only fit to make a
bonfire. Make such a bonhro on a flat,
moist place, and keep the burning heap
small, adding the fuel from time to time,
and so manage that the ashes will be left
in a compact heap, easily to be taken up
and stored in some out-of-the-way shed.
Heraember that ashes will hold fire in
the shapo of burning coal for weeks, and
that many mysterious fires are duo to no
other "iucendinry" than the improper
treatment of ashes. American Agricul

Generally the best profit from gocso is
from tho feathers, it is only in localities
that the raising of tho fowls for market
can be madn profitable. But with care
in picking them the feathers that can be
secured will give a good profit for keep
ing. It is best to commence reasonably
early iu the spring and then regularly all
during the summer. Much of the
amount of profit that it is possible to
realize will depend upon the care taken
in securing the feathers.
Geese need very little care from the
time grass makes a good start to grow in
the spring until cold weather in the fall.
As long as they can secure a full supply
of grass very little other feeding will be
necessary. They must have plenty of
water. It is not best to let them run
with othcrpoultry. If kept for breeding
three geese for each gander should be
kept.
They will usually lay three times a
year, commencing geucrally in March
and laying about a dozen eggs at each
period.
They will generally make their own
nests. The better plan is to hatch un
der a hen, ns geese do not make good
mothers. Like all other young poultry
the better plan is to take pains not to al
low them to run out in the wet, as get
ting the young goslings wet is as bad as
for any other kind of poultry.
They will need about tho same feed
and care as tho other young poultry.
One ndvantago with both ducks and
geese is that under avorago conditions
they are both much less liable to disease
than almost any other kind of poultry,
and often this is quito an item. Ameri

Mixed farming is the safest.
Use good seed plant carefully.
Is your wood-house well-filledf
Ground bone is a good fertilizer to put
around trees in setting them.
Give your fruit trees a good soil. They
cannot feed nnd thrive on nothing.
If you want to feed milk to a lamb
use a tin can with a long spout, like an
oil can.
The best systems cf cropping are in
variably those which call for the most
thorough preparation of the soil.
Much of the trouble had with fruit
trees is due to starvation. Liberal man

A pound of bran makes within seven
teen per cent, of ns much milk as a pound
of cornmeal which costs over twice as
murh ; but corn-meal makes richer milk,
while the bran makes a richer manure.
How long can the fertility of a soil bo
kept up by tho application only of tho
three ingredients contained in commer
cial fertilizers potash, phosphoric acid
and nitrogen? Probably until some less
important ingredient is exhausted.
A healthy food for growing pigs may
be made of boiled potatoes, with corn
meal and bran added in proportion of
five pounds meal and ten pounds bran to
a bushel of potatoes. The latter 'should
be boiled to consistency of thin paste.
Tho value of mauuro depends on the
character of the food eaten by the an
imals. It cannot contain anything not
contained in the food eaten. This ap
plies to cow, horse, pig, hen and any
other manure made from animal drop
pings. There is no need to drag mellow soil
after clover seed has been sown in order
to cover it. The rains will do this better
thau man can. Even the brush harrow
often recommended for this purpose is
worse than useless. On winter grain, a
dragging of the hardened surface, to mel
low it beforo sowing clover and grass
seeds, will insure a better catch.
Thorough draining is something that
all gcod nurserymen and gardeners put
a high value upon. The crops they put
on the land are often worth more than
the first cost of the land itself. Hence,
it is not uncommon for them in some
places to make drains on land leased for
five or six years, as the losses from ex
cessive water would be greater thau the
cost of draining it off.

A Tarantula's Nest.
Mr. Earl, tho fruit dealer, while pick
ing bananas from a bunch iu front of his
fruit store yesterday morning, placed his
hand upon something which at first
sight he supposed, to be a mouse, but a
second look convinced him that he had
found the dreaded and poisonous taran
tula. With a cane he attempted to dis
lodge the ugly insect, but dropped the
stick without ceremony when the long
legged spider jumped up toward his
hand. The tarantula fought so desper
ately that Mr. Earl pushed the stick hur
riedly into the bananas, breaking open
the trantula's nest.
There were thousands of little iusects
in the nest. They were a trifle larger
than fleas, and in mauy respacts they
closely resemble small red spiders.
When they struck out and away from
the homo nest, there was a scattering
among the crowd that had gathered to
watch the proceedings. Whether these
infant tarantulas have yet developed the
poisonous biting habits of their wicked
looking parents, small boys and amateur
naturalists in the vicinity are not agreed,
but all agreed that it would be well to
keep a safe distance away from the
spiders. .
After some further difficulty Mr. Earl
succeeded in killing the large tarantula
and placing the nest and hundreds of
the little ones in a glass jar. The nest
is cream colored, about the size of a
small hen's egg, and the yDung taran
tulas sunning themselves in the glass jar
occupied the attention of passers-by
yesterday afternoon. No one kuows how
many escaped, but myriads still remain.
