HENS BRTTINtl TOO IT.OSEt.T. The instinct- of the hen to set, espe cially cf the Asiatic breeds, needs some curbing, even for success in incubation. If the hen d cs not get off at all to eat for several days, the esgs become addled fron loo much warmth and exclusion from the air. Wetting the eggs is also important, not to soften the shells, but to prevent the drying up of their lining inside the shell, which while moist ad nits Bir enough through it to preserve the life of the germ. Hens that set themselves out of doors usually hatch their entire setting. They are forced to li.Ufle for their food, are often wet by rains ami dews, and this keeps the eggs moist. Ikaton CuUirator. THE START FOR ASPAH AGVS. Every farmer's family uses potatoes. The time, labor and fertility required for their production are not considered, for potatoes must be had. Hut they aro more expensive to raise than asparagus, and their cultivation calls out more skill. The labor needed to gVow half an acre of potatoes each year would in three years plant, transplant and establish for fifty years a largo bed of asparagus, which with a little care annually through this half century, would load the home table and the nearest market (at handsome fig ures) with a delicious luxury. Asparagus is most easily gathered and prepared, highly uutritious and healthful in its tendencies, and acceptable to nearly everybody. Procure or raise thrifty one-year-old plants, and set them at intervals of three feet in rows four feet apart, using the richest land of almost any kind, although loam is best. (Keep it always full of plant food, which can be put on at any season, and never too abundantly). Open the drills deep enough to allow several inches of soil above crowns of the plants when they are set. Keep the ground clean and the third year cut every sprout as fast as ready. Stop cutting w hen early peas come. Sun Yjrk Tri lune. BEST HORSES TO RAISE. "Whatever may be said of the market . ,, , . iii rast for scrub horses there is no doubt , , , , , but that there is a demand, both at home ; and abroad, for heavy draught horses. There is more than double ves, more j than treble the common horses in use j than there are good ones, and more than double bought and sold every day. Still, if we couut the difference in the price of Fair of common horses and a good I draught team we will find that the '.utter is in demaqd at a figure much above the difference in tho cost of production. Outside of the origiual investment in good marcs aud a heavy stallion of high standing the cost of production is not so very much larger than the cost of the common scrub. Large homes, of course, eat a little more than small ones, and re quire a little care, but they are generally kind, easily broken and don't know any thing but to pull, and with the ex:ep tion of the fleet roadster and the well mated carriage horse is the most saleable animal produced. Then the great beauty of the draft horse is in the fact that, like a beef steer, he almost sells by weight. There is at least but little training neces sary to fit him for service, and where a man has but little idea of how to handle or train a horse he can do but little bet ter than to grow the heavy class. Sue York llerald. PLANTING LARGE POTATOES. The system of planting largo potatoes whole should be condemned, says a writer in Indiana Former. Such superflu ous use is not at all reasonable, and that of selecting small potatoes for , seed, either cut or planted whole, is the re verse of economy. Sometimes a good yield is obtained from small potato seed when the vaiiety is vigorous and iu line with favorable conditions. The eyes ou ""well-developed potato are large and capable of strong sprouts. The vigorous sprout of a cutting from a potato has the advantige from the beginning. It yields better and withstands variations of weather with greater uniformity tiiaj tho small potato cutting with iu numerous ! small sprouts. The sufo rule in prepar ing potato cuttings is to select tho best samples within reach in health, uni formity, and size, aud cut them iu pieces with au average of two eyes to a cutting. While the seed of a potato that is in its ! badges, which sold immediately as the prime in yielding qualities may be saved j "tin mug" of Orleans," and were worn and continued in the same locality for ' all over Paris.

For the past three years the Wiscon sin Station has been experimenting, for the purpose of determining the effects of various foods upon the carcass, bones and vicera of hogs. In all cases cowi ineal has served as a ratiou for one lot of pigs under study, because com is ami muni coutinuc to be the staple hog-food at the West. Again cormncal has been fed a ration coutainiug part corumeal, but iu additiou such other iugredicuts as dried blood, pens, shorts or skiin milk foods rich to protein, or lean mint producing. To avoid redundancy, the phrase "corn ratiou" will be under stood to mean corn, bait, ashes and water; "mixed ration" will mean part corn, and with the articles above men tioned containing considerable protein, togetfter with ashes, salt and water. Professor W. A. Henry says the following seem to be fair deductions from these investigations : For the market price or cost of pro duction, Indian corn is beyond all com parison the cheapest single food for huirs. They will live a long time anil make a fair gain upon an exclusive corn diet. When kept upon such a ration, they grow quite fut, but, when yet small, have the form aud appearance of mature hogs, be ing dwarfed in size. When kept in the pen, they seem satisfied alter eating, ly ing down in apparent comfort to await the next meal. The carcass of torn-fed 1 ogs coutains inoie fat ami less aler, tweuty-tive per cent lcs muscle, or lean meat, and less blood tliau carcasses of hogs given a mixed nttiou. The exclu- sively corn-fed hogs also have imallet livers and kidneys, the skeleton is light er, and the bones not as strong; the hide may be less, and the hair is not as strong. Hogs living on corn-meal, water, and salt did not seem to have their bones strength ened by feeding well-water instead of rain-water. Hut hogs living on corn meal, salt, and rain water had their bones doubled in strength by feeding hard wood ashes, and still strengthened by feeding ground bone. The ash material in the bones of such hogs was doubled in amount, ground bono giving better re sults than wood ashes. The hogg also drank more water, consumed more food, and made much heavier gains than those not gettijg ground bone or asher, but did not have more muscle or lean meat. Hence, Professor Henry's final conclusion that while the body of the hog, perfect or imperfect, is the result of inheritance, it can be greatly modified by the kind of food given. AmtrUan Agriculturist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Open the mouths of all drains. Breed from no scrubs this year. What progress with the garden! Remember that fiat culture is best for dry soils And ridging for wet. Remember that different soil? require different fertilizers, and want no others. Will varieties of buckwheat cross and mix? is one of the questions of the day. Brains as well as farms aro capable of cultivation. Jsever lose sight of this fact. Children love to dig in the dirt. Why should this love be destroyed by false education? Give your teams a change of diet. You like it yourself, and so do they. It is appetizing. When your soil needs potash only, what is the use of puttiug on other fertil izing ingredients? Push your work or your work will push you. The first is much pleasantcr, besides being more profitable. Good roads would reduce the cost of hauling farm products to market at least one half for the whole country. f priukliug salt on the top and nt the bottom of garden walls is said to keep suails from climbing up or down. Give the ewe clover hay, if you have it, bran nnd crushed oats, and sho will provide the lamb with plenty of milk. Rust ami rot work incessantly for the benefit of the manufacturers of farm tools. It is well to not forget this fact. Prepare your ground well before plant- iiiu. lum.iliu null, iiuitiuL; n; tl , , .

In testing seeds the smaller seed that are perfect germinate first, but aro after ward slower iu development than the larger ones. If you arc a farmer, do not be accusing the farm of producing tho hard times. Look iu other directions if you want to find the cause. When ornamental shrubs ore out of flower it is well to cut away tho flower clusters and not allow the shrubs to ex haust themselves in ripening seed, save those with ornamental fruit. The same may bo said of herbaceous perennials, though some of these seeds are often wanted. If you set duck-eggs under hens set them on the ground. If frost is entirely out and the weather settled into spring, you can place a cage over the hen and arrange things so nothing will bother her. Never under any circumstances allow other hens to molest a sitter. It will cause trouble, and lots of it. Tlio (jiamelle. There is a kind of tin mug called the gametic, in which the French soldier re ceives his rations, and which he carries on his knapsack. The form is a little peculiar, so as to distinguish it from other ordinary tin mugs. A simple im plement which, carried on the backs of French soldiers, has marched so often to victory, and of late to defeat, has at last received its reward in its glorification. When the young Duke of Orlcaus came before the court, and exclaimed: "I ask 'or notning iut a gamelle, meaning nothing but the treatment of a common soldier, the public readily seized upon j the emblem. Scarcely three days had elapsed before a great jeweler of the Rue , de la Poix had huudreds of "tin mugs" in silver, gold and jewels, as pins and I luaieu a gamelle as a soup uisn, ana sent I it to the uoble piisoncr full of bouillon. But this was not permitted within the prisou. In the meanwhile, all Paris is sporting the soldier's tin mug in the tri color, aud the young Duke has left a fashionable ornament to remember him by. The Ledger. A Musical Tree. Accounts of reliable travelers describe a musical tree, found both iu the West Indies aud in Nubia. This vegetable phenomenon has a peculiar shaped leaf, and pods with a split or open edge. As the wind blows through these it gives out the sound which gives tho tree its peculiar name. Iu the liarbadocs there is a valley filled with these trees, aud when the wind blows across the island, u constant moaning, deep-toned whistle is heard, which, iu the still hours of the night, has a weird and mournful effect. A species of acacia, which grows very i abundant iu Nubia and the Soudan, is also called "whistling tree by the na tives. u shoots are frequently, by the agency of the luivie.of insects, distorted in shape and swollen into a globular blad der from one to two inches in diameter. After the insect has emerged from a circular hole in the side of this swelling, the opening, played upon by the wind, becomes a musical instrument, nearly cquul iu sound to a sweet-toned flute.

Instead of chewing slate-pencils and drinking vinegar and lime-juico adipose doctors feed their patients raw fruit without sugar or cream and obesity tea. The doctors in tho French fleet have been forbidden to prnctice "hypnotism" on their patients. A similar prohibition was isfucd some mouths ngo to tho French army doctors. Tho appliance of hydraulic power to the manufacture of steel seamless boats Is one of the latest things in England. These boats arc thought to be in every particular superior to those made of wood and can bo mado at about tho same cost. The experiment of constructing a large building of paper has been success fully mado at Hamburg, Germany, where an immense hotel, with its fncado and other important parts composed of that material, and claimed to bo fire-proof, has been erected. In using emery wheels it has been found that at a high speed one ounce of wheel material would only grind off six ounces of metal, while at a lower speed it would grind off eleven ounces. At this lower speed the wheel was making 2150 revolutions. The electrical process has been suc cessfully adopted in South Australia for the recovery of the minute particles of gold dust that have hitherto been lost in the work of separating tho metal from the ore. The economical value of the process has been abundantly proved. An engineer on tho Iron Mountain Road, of Slissouri, has perfected an au tomatic bell-ringer on his locomotive, and now when running in corporation limits or whenever the bell must bo rang he just jerks a spring nnd tho bell, is kept going by steam power till ho turns off the steam. A new incandescent lamp has been in troduced which is said to obviato discol oration. The carbon filaments nro made from raw silk threads put through a care ful process and capablo of bearing high temperature. A suspended needlo is fitted inside from the socket to tho glass tip, and this prevents shaking and at tracts the particles of carbon to it. An Italian journal describes a new pharo-light, which is said to bo as pow erful as the electric light, and the effi ciency of which is not impaired by fog, as is the cose with tho latter. A clock work arrangement pours every thirty sec onds ten centograms of powdered magne sium into the flame of a round wick lamp, producing an cxticmcly brilliant Bash of light. An Automatic Photographic Machine. An automatic photographic machine has been invented, and it will soon l( launched by a company of London capi talists; it is not unliko the devices which are used in Chicago to register ouc's weight. The machine is in the form ol a large square box mounted on a hollow pedestal. On the front center is a small lens, surmounted by a mirror; a money slot is in tho top left-hand corner. Tht person who is to bo photographed takes his stand in front of tho lens, with hit back to a post or rail fixed at a distance of three feet fvom the machine, and ad' justs himself so that his full face shall be reflected in the mirror. With his lcfl band ho then puts a coin in the slot anc remains motiouless for fivo seconds, when the sound of a bell announces that tho impression is complete. In fortj seconds more the finished portrait, on t metal plate drops through tho delivery upon the shelf outside. Another coin, put in another slot, will bring out I frame for tho picture, but this luxury if wholly optional. The impressions resem bles those of tho cheap glass positive photograph, only that tin-plate is substi tuted for glass. The mechanism is at present a secret, but the principlo ap pears to be that of rotary arm which carries the plate through a scries ol chemical baths until the impression ii developed and fixed.

The real estate of Great Britain and Ireland is mortgaged for fifty per cent, of its value; the farm lands ot Denmark are mortgaged for forty-one per cent, ol their value, and the real estate of Copcn hagen for seventy per cent. ; the real es tate of France is mortgaged for 3,000, 000,000, or 25 an acre for every acre, in cluding mountain tops and rivers, in the Empire; eighty per cent, of the entire taxable real estate of Germany is mort gaged, "with mortgages," says Pressor, a German writer, "scarcely redeemable. The German farmers, nccordiug to Dr. Jaeger, pay $125,000,000 a year interest on mortgages, and Stoepcl, another Ger man writer, says it is far above that sum. Italy is mortgaged forty per cent, on all her taxable real estate; Sweden thirty three per cent., and others in like pro portion. These are all old countries, and their mortgages represent genera tions of unprofitable farming, not the development of a great and new em pire. Cleveland Leader. Habits uf Frog?.
