' BAVIN-0 THE POTATOES.
There is more or less rot in the pota
toes this season. This is doubtless largely
due to the absence of any precautions to
destroy the rotten tubers of last year, and
the use of infected seed. Sluch may bo
done in way of these precautions by
sprinkling the potatoes, when stored,
with dry air slaked lime; by sorting out
all those that are spotted wijh the
disease and turning them to use; the po
tatoes that are partly dacayed may be
boiled for the pigs. The rot docs not

On ooft country roads farmers can save
blacksmith bills by letting their horses
go barefooted, where stone or rocks do
not form too great a portion of the road
surface. Even on frozen ground unshod
horses do good work. In this latter con
dition of roads, the saving of calk-sharpening
in time and expense is very con
siderable. On the ice a barefooted horso
is so sure footed that he may be driven
or ridden with safety, when unsafe for a
dozen miles even with sharpened calks.
Many lame horses are cured by removing
their shoes. A. shod horse travels on ice,
and to a degree walks on Btilts. An

WATER rOWF.n ON FARMS.
No doubt where there is a stream of
water having a sufficient fall to give the
veuvisitc power, it could be economically
applied for farm purposes, as for grind
ing, cutting foddei and thrashing. A
stream giving 400 cubic feet of water
per minuto, equal to about 3000 gallons,
or fifty gallons per second, with ten feet
fall will give six-horso power, llalf as
much water with thirteen feet fall will
afford four horse power. A stream four
feet wide flowing 200 feet per minute
nnd six inches deep would give enough
water for six horse power fulling ten feet.
A common overshot wheel would be the
cheapest and most convenient power.
There is no reason why the wheel should
not be used with a dynamo to give elec
tric power, which might cost $300, or
about the same cost as a steam engine,
without the risk of fire and cost of fuel.
In course of time, no doubt, electricity
will be extensively used for farm pur
poses, where the cheap power of water
can be made available as the motive force.

REGCLATINO THE QUANTITY OP FOOD.
A hen is said to consume five pecks of
grain food in one year, or forty quarts.
Hence, if one hen eats forty quarts of
food in 365 days, then 3G5 hens should
eat forty quarts iu one day, or about one
quart a day to nine hens. It has always
been tho rule that one quart of corn is
the proper allowance for ten hens in one
day, giving a pint in the morning and a
pint at night. This, however, is the es
timate of the total quantity of food re
quired. If green food or meat is given,
the amount of corn must be reduced pro
portionately. How can this be done, as
it requires very nice calculation to equal
ize the difference between a pint of corn
and a head of cabbage, there beiug no
standard by which the two foods can be
compared, to say nothing of the fact that
in some flocks one hen will eat more than
another, nnd one will eat largely of one
kind of food while another hen will pre
fer some other kind. It is a wise poul
tryuian who cau estimate iu advance the
exact quantity to give, as the hens may
eat more to-day and less to-morrow.

JUDGING WOOL ON LIVE SHEEP.
The finest and softest wool is on the
shoulders of the sheep. An expert in
judging sheep looks first at the wool ou
the shoulders. An experienced buyer
communicates the following suggestions
for selecting the long-wool sheep to an
Australian paper:
We first examine the shouldets as a
part where the finest wool is to be fouud.
This wc tako as standard and compare it
with the wool from the ribs, the thigh
the rump, and shoulder parts, and the
nearer the wool from the various por
tions of the animal approaches the stand
ard the better. First we scrutinize the
fineness, and if the result is satisfutory
we pronounce the fleece iu respect to fine
ness very "even." Next we scrutinize
the length of the staple, and if we find
thut the wool on the ribs, thigh and back
approximates reasonably iu length to
that of our staudurd we again declare
the fleece, as regards leugth of staple,
"true and even." AVe next satisfy our
selves as to the density of the fleece, and
we do this by closing the hand upon a
portion of the rump and loin wool, these
points being usually the thinnest and
niulty. If this again gues satisfuc
n e designate all the wool "even to
." Now, to summarize these
e examinations: If the fleece is
f of equal leugth on shoulder, rib
.ck, and equal density on shoulder
ross the loins, we conclude that

Too much nitrogenons or stable ma
nures are the common cause of exceasire
growth of straw. It can be remedied by
applying wood ashos or- potash in any
form in considerable quantities. How
tho mineral effects this has been vari
ously explained. It is known that pot
ash has the power of dissolving sand,
and it is probable that, by making sand
soluble, and taking it up into the circula
tion, it checks the flow of ap, besides
giving the straw tho gritty charac
ter that so quickly dulls delicate
knives used in cutting it. Grain of any
kind that has been fertilized with min
erals is much leas likely to rust than that
manurod with fertilizers mainly carbon
aceous. Rich stable manure, will, how
ever, often make a bright straw and
plump grain, while that which is mainly
carbonaceous, or made from straw, will
maks weak straw and a shrunken grain.
The explanation is that the rich manure
! helps to make soluble potash in the soil,
I while the poor manure has not this
power. Hence a dressing of manure
! from grain-fed homes may have tho
ciTect of a dressing of potash, though not
directly supplying any of tho mineral,
but only liberating what was already in
the soil in insoluble condition. Ameri

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
If you wish a healthy flock keep few
in a pen.
Broken eggs in the nest start the hens
to cat tbcm.
Don't stint the growing fowl. Give it
all it can cat. .
Use only the best oil in the Incubators
and brooders.
Ducks for profit must be pushed rapidly
from the start.
Limo is cheaper than roup and fumi
gation cheaper than lice.
You can plow when it is too damp to
husk out and tic up fodder.
VThen you go to a sale never bid against
yourself, nor for a useless article.
Any gate or bar pjsts that need setting
had better be attended to at once.
Any breed of fowl can be profitably
kept oa dry sandy or gravelly soil.
It requires more moisture to hatch duck
than chicken eggs in an incubator.
There is no flesh more appreciated
than that of a large, tender and juicy
capon.
It is a mistake that chickens raised ar
tificially cannot be taught to roost on
perches.
Run the poultry on this birsiuess prin
ciple. "If there is a dollar in it we will
get it out."
A barn or s'.able should fulfil four con
ditions comfort, cleanliness, health and
convenience.
A patch of rye grown close to the
poultry yard is a cheap way of furnish
ing green food.
On wet, low-lying land ducks and
geese are the only poultry that can be
successfully reared.
The way to miflce anything pay is to
combine pluck, grit, perseverance, econ
omy nnd industry.
Before you so severely condemn the
incubator you are using, see if you are
not yourself at fault. i
Think of eggs a dollar a piece. At
that price you can purchase the "strictly
pure" Iudiai game eggs.
Not the least of the benefits which
come from plowing in fall and winter is
the destruction of insects.
The regulator on an incubator needs
regulating. Remember that when you
buy an automatic machine.
Success mainly depends on warm, dry
coops, with proper care and management
nd freedom from overcrowding. I
A mixture of dry earth and land plaster
is a good absorbent in the stable for the
purpose of retaining the ammonia.
Sprinkle dust sulphur in the hens'
nest. We have mentioned it before, but
it is a good thing and bears repetition.
Andalusion is one of the leading varie- j
ties of the Spanish group, and is some-
times known by the name of Blue Span
ish. I
It has been estimated that a hen will
drop a bushel of manure from the roosU
in a year. It is the richest manure on
the farm. I
If you are in trouble about your farm
crops don't rush to the saloon to talk it
over witn a lot of loafers; just stay at
home and think it all over by yourself.
The improved breeds, Pekins and
Rouens, lay large quantities of eggs,
which are always salable and the market
for table ducks has never been over
stocked. Don't cut and cover for the sake of
plowing (!) the whole of that back field;
better plow two-thirds of it and have it
well done rather than go over it all in
slipshod way.
The culture of crops, trees, lawns, gar
dens and hedges, cau be combined wifb
mental pleasures that strip drudgery ol
much of its terrors. Just as the drudgery
necessary in the fine arts is forgotteu iu

Itinerant Quackery In England.
Itinerant quackery, on quite the largest
scale yet attempted, is just now proceed
ing successfully in England. "Sequah"
is a limited liability company, regularly
registered at Somerset House, with $50,
0U0 capital, a board of directors and a
list of stockholders. The functions ol
"Sequah" is to sell for fifty cents pet
bottle a liquid called the Prairie Flower,
which, according to the company's pros
pectus, costs five cents per bottle; aud
to this end the company has established
twenty-three gorgeously gilded chariots
with four white horses. Each chariot is
occupied with a Sequah with a slouch
hat and long hair and a corps of assist
ants. These twenty-three chariots arc in
tweuty-three parts of England to-day
doing, iu most instances, a tremendous
business. Indeed Sequah has been the
sensation of the season at Richmond,
where each evening the lame, the bait
aud the blind are treated in the chariot
by torchlight. The original Sequah, who
is supposed to be a half-breed Indian
medicine man, with a strong cockney
accent and a recipe obtained from the
seventh sequah of a seventh sequah, ofi
fers to pull teeth, cure consumption, hy
drophobia, corns or any other of the ills
that flesh is heir to; set broken logs, re
store vigor to paralytics and restore sight
to the blind, with all the ambition aud
scope of a Christian scientist, all by
means of the Prairie Flower, and all
for the price of a bottle thereof. Chi

THB "TKA-TO-TCM" CAFC.
The lea ling temperance advocates in Lon
don have been inspecting the new "Tea-to-Tum"
Cafe, which was recently started in the
east end of London by Mr. Buchanan, a
wealthy tea merchant, and have come to the
conclusion that one of the best possible meth
ods of removing the fatal attractiveness of
the public house would bo the provision of
good aud cheap eating-houses in every quar
ter of the large towns iu Great Britain. The
"Tea-to-tuiu'' cafes as they are called, are in
tended to combine the advantages of a cafe
and a club, and they are intended for the
uses of the working classes On the ground
floor is a restaurant, and above is a room for
bagatelle and billiards. Newspapers, chess
and draughts are provided, and the rooms
are well and tastefully lit ted up. Better
than all, the food is not only cheap but ex
cellent. A satisfactory meal may be ob
tained at the cafe for eight cents. Mr,
Buchanan's aim is not profit so much as the
provision of places where working men and
women can have a good meal and spend a
qnjot evening, but the venture has begun to
pay its way so that the temperance advocates
will have little ditticulty in obtaining funds
to open similar caies elsewhere.

Chameleons.
Chameleons of one species or another
ran generally be, seen iu the reptilo house
at the Zoo, it bring a rare event for tho
society to bo without one at the present
time they have no less than eight. Hut
they attrart but little attention from visi
tors, niul indeed are not very intcnsting
looking animals, as they sit stolidly on
tho plants provided for them in their
cases, geuernlly without moving They
cannot lie kept constnutly supplied with
inserts for food, and, speaking from a
somewhat intimate knowledge of tho
habits of these, animals in confinement,
there is nothing in tho world will induee
a chameleon to take even the slightest ap
parent interest in its surroundings unless
it be tha sight of what it considers a
toothsome insect. Nevertheless, they are
by no means uninteresting animals, and
when allowed to wander at largo and
forage for themselves in a greenhouao
they are a constant source of amusement.
The chameleon's method of taking its prey
is very curious,tx-ing effected by shooting
out an enormously long worm-like tongue,
the end of which is clubbed and covered
with a viscid secretion, to which the in
sects stick and are, thus drawn iuto its
mouth. The actual projection of tho
tongue Is made with marvelous rapidity,
but before striking the animal very
slowly opens its mouth, with all the ap
pearance of taking a most deliberate aim.
Its eyes are most noticeable; they are,
very large, but, with the exception of an
extremely small opening in- tho centre,
are covered with skin; they nro also en
tirely independent of each other, with
tho result that occasionally the creature is
looking forward over ita nose with ono
eye, while with the other it is intently
watching something directly behind it.
And, finally its fur famed power of
changing color which is also enjoyed
by other limirds is perhaps tho most
noticeable of the creature's many pe

the degree in which the lungs are tilled
with air and different layers of chromato;
phorus (cells in tho skin in which tho
coloring pigment is deposited) are pressed
toward the outer surface of tho skin."
It appears to be produced partly at the
will of the animal aud partly by an "in
voluntary habit which enables its tints
to correspond with the natural sub

A Bit Pan of Gold.
Judge J. P. Leonard, of Ororllle,
bas given the following account of the
largest pan of gold ever tnken out of the
old Cape claim: "In th first part of
the month of October, 1857, II. 11. La
throp, now dead, and myself took out of
this very same Capn claim a pan of gold
containing 104 ounces and tour penny
I Weights of pure, clean metal that sold for
over sitHM). We found the shining stull in
tho middlo of the river bed under a largo
bowlder. It was somo distanoo above
bedrock, and wo did very little strip
ping of tho surfaro dirt before, finding it.
Tho gold was in small pieces, tho largest
of which was not worth more than twenty
five cents it was all fine scnlo gold.
AY hen wo found it it had settled In n
crevice of the rock, whore it had washed
by a natural ntlle." Virginia- (Afr.)

best article of this kind in the world. It knows no equal,
and, although it costs a trifle more its durability makes it
outlast two cakes .of cheap makes. It is therefore the'
:heapest in the ejid. Any grocer will supply it at a
easbnable price. '

plained by one of jNew York's richest
inert. "I don't count my wealth In
dollars," lie said. "What are all my
possessions to me, since I am a. victim
of consumption t My doctor tells me
that I have but a few months to live,
for the disease Is Incurable. I am poor
er tlmn that tiefrfrnr yonder." "But,"
Intcrupted the friend to whom he spoke
"consumption can be cured. If taken
In time, Dr. Tierce's Uolden Medical
Discovery will eradicate every vestlg-e
of the disease from your system." "I'll
try It," said tho niill'onaire, and he did;
and to-Uny tliero is not a lirnlthier,
happier man to "ue found anywhere.
Th "Discovery" strikes at the teat ot
the complaint. Consumption Is a dis
ease o. the biood is notliiiifr more nor
less than Hingi-sererfiila and it mutt
aud does yield to this wouderful remedy.
"Golden Medical Discovery" is not
only an acknowledged remedy for tlint
terribly fatal malady, when taken In
time and given a fair trial, but also for
all forms of Scrofulous, Pkln and Scalp
Diseases, as While Swelling-, Fever
sore, Hlp-jnlnt Disease, Salt-rheum,
Tetter, Eciema, Bolls, Carbuncles, Ery
