THE FARM AND GARDEN.
MARTINS.
Every farmer who desires to make his
home attractive and pleasant for himself
and family, should not fail to provide a
home for the mtrtins. They are always
cheerful, happy and gay, and their merry
prattle is welcomed by everyone. Bo
side this, they are said to be good to
keep away chicken hawks. Make your
boxes now, while you bavo some idle
time. H you will take the trouble to
dress the lumber and paint the box, you
will be amply repaid for your work, for
every day through tho spring and slim
mer they will remind you of whnt you
have done for them. Farm ami Firetide.
roTATOKS FOK SEED.
Potatoes to be used for seed re quire no
special preparation. They should, of
course, be sound and in a dormant con
dition when taken out for planting, and
the usual practice 13 to cut the tubers
into about four pieces that is quartered
but some growers divido them even
more, leaving not exceeding twoorthreo
eyes on each piece, dropping thrca or
four pieces in each hill, or, if cultivated
iu rows, drop a piece every twelve to fii
tecn inches in tho row. Dusting tho
freshly cut tubers with hard wood ushes
or rolling them in plaster will usually
prove benclical, as it prevents the attacks
of wircworms and adds something in the
nay of nourishment to the young plant9.

11EMKDY FOn THE nonF.nS.
A cultivator in Southern Missouri
succeeded in repelling tho borer from
his young orchard trees by the following
remedy: He found that when lime and
ashes were applied around tho trees, if
they were not already too badly injured,
they healed over and the borer left them.
To excludo the borers Irom other trees,
a wash was made of soft soap, ashcs,limo
nud coal oil, and applied four times in
tho year, or twice in spring and twice in
autumn. This lemcdy appears to have
been effectual, for not a tree has been
lost since using it. Cuution is, of course,
necessary, for sharp, fresh wood ashes,
mid a huge amount of coal oil, may each
be too severe a remedy for young trees
wiih tender bark, and especially if ap
plied to young peach trees for the grub.
In audition to the borer, tho remedy
was found to be efficient for excluding
rabbits. Keio York Observer,
CLOVER AS A WEED EXTERMINATOR.
Among its other excellent qualities as
an agricultural plant it is a common ex
perience among farmers that clover is
one of the best exterminatois of weeds.
Air and sunshine are as necessary for tho
life of weeds oa they are for cultivated
plant:, and when growing together, if
one 13 thrifty enough to outgrow nnd
CTri-shr.cIow the other, if not disturbed, it
eventually takes possession of the ground
lo wuen clover is tuickly sown on
fecund naturally wectly the two yearly
luowirgs ana tlie si, ado will prove too
much for nearly, ml varieties of weeds,
and when the ground is plowed for a
umcreni crop it will not only bo en
riched, from tho clover, but will be com
paratively free from weeds. But it must
not be forgotten that land may be so tin
fertile that clover cannot be grown upon
it without first manuring it and putting
tho toil into a suitable condition for re
ceiving the reed, while a great many
kinds of weeds havo the faculty of
rrcwing on very poor land without nny
iertiUzcr whatever. Stm Qrkant Rcu

. THE POSSIBILITIES OF THE BERT.
From no ouo of our root crops can a
ncro profitable additional use bo ex
rjco'.cd in tho neur future than from the
Led. The sweet, juicy substance nnd
ugreeablu flavor of many of tho varieties
lmve long mado it a favorite esculent for
the table and stockmen are now using
tho largo sorts more and more ns cattle
food. When fed with hay or fodder,
the combination is probably as good a
substitute as can be furnished for milch
cows in lieu of grass. Where hay and
grain havo been cheap, raising beets for
stock feeding has not been extensively
practised, but as land and animals and
their usual food becouio more valuable,
the use of roots for feeding must become
more common.
But it is ns a sugar-producing plant
that we may expect tho most profitublo
uo will be found for tho beet. There
1110 now iu Kuropo hundreds ol beet
ciignr factories yielding satisfactory rev
enues to their owucrs and paying mill
ions of dollars to farmers for sugar beets.
In onr own country it has been well as
certained that thcro are largo areas well
adapted to its cultivation, und in Cali
fornia and tome of the other States the
manufacture of sucar from the beet has
assumed proportions that are decidedly
iucouiagiug for the future. If in addi
tion to its successful manufacture aided
by huge capital aud expensive machin
ery tome fortunate investor shall point
the way to a feasible and cheap method
of domestic manufacture then tho most
enthusiastic believers in the possibilities
of the sugar beet will have their hopes
realized. Atto lork World.
SWEET I'EAS.
Wc arc all admirers of this sweet
eceuted unnuul, writes Gypsy in Farm
and Firuiile, but many teem to fail in
cultivating it. I'rcparo tho ground

warm spell so that the frost may be out

riched with u small amount of thoroughly-rotted
manure, liight hero is a point
I wii-li uiuuttur flower growers would
cote and hied. Manure must be old
enough to bo thoroughly rotted to give
most fatisfuetory results.
The peas should be furnished with
support as soon as they are two or three
iuehes high. Wire netting is excellent.
If the vines once get tangled on the
grouud it is ditlieult to struighten them.
They grow slowly at first, and you will
think tlay me. not going to amount to
anythir.', aud that they were started too
early. Have patience. Keep down the
weeds and give them "rope.'1 By and

thousands of blobsoius nod you a happy
good-inuiuiug. Do not allcw tecd-poils

oiudi.ino grapevines.
Nearly one hundred and fifty years
ago, ono, Colonel lluchatt, of Mctz, in
France, was experimenting in girdling
or teinoving a narrow ring of bark from
the bearing canes of grapeviaes for tho
purpase of its influence on tho fruit. By
removing a ring of bark a half inch in
width the downward or return flow ol
sap, after it has been nssimilntcd by the
leaves, is checked at the point of baik
denuded wood, lluchatt claimed that
his iurention or discovery would be of
value in hastening tho maturity of tho
lruit as well as improve its quality, but
tho latter claim has rarely been admitted
by vineyardists in this country or Europe.
This girdling or aniular incision of the
vino hae been practiced to a limited ex
tent in this country but far more ex
tensively iu France, and by men who
sought to determine its true value in tho
production of grapes for wiue makiug
and other purpose". After these many
yeais of waiting we are informed through
a recent issue of tho Hmtt llortieole that
the subject of so much controversy is
now finally settled and its advantages
are summarized as follows: (1). It pre
vent the dropping off of tho fruit. (2).
It increases tho fertility of tho vino,
the si.o of tho hcr.ies aud bunches. (3).
It increases the quantity of the iuico in
tho fruit, and for wine-making purpose.1!
it adds to the saccharine properties of
tho must or wort aud improves tho
quality of tho wine. (4). It causes tho
fruit to ripen cnrlier and thus changes
second-early varieties to the early class.
(5). It causes the fruit to set earlier and
better, especially on tho90 varieties
which are often unproductive through
excess of growth.
While we doubt if American culti
vators of tho grape have found that
girdling improves tho quality of tho
fruit., it certainly increases the size of
the berries and bunch, and hastens ma
turity at least two or three week.

rAItM AND GARDEN NOTES.
It is said that linseed oil, it applied to
tho knot on its first appearance, is a
remedy for black knot.
The Jlural Keio Yorker Is inclined to
regard the Ucitenbach Norway maple as
tho bes' of thepurplo leaved trees.
After the garden crops aro well under
way the hens will prove beneficial rather
than injurious, as tucy will destroy many
insects.
The Windsor cherry, ono of the dark-
colored sort, is in many rc3pccts equal to
the Black Tartarian, while excelling it in
hardiness.
Chickens like ripe toniuloes-, an1!, will
eat ripe cucumbers, not green oues, but
they will eat green and ripo grnpos. Keep
them out of tho vineyard.
Insects do not like wood ashes. Use
the ashes for tho trees and vines. If
you havo no ashes buy some. Ashes
contain bcth limo and pota?h.
Keep tho heifer in tho full flow of
milk as long us possible after slio has her
first calf. Au old maxim is that every
thing depends on the tirst year with a
heifer.
Nothing pays as well as csgs now. A
good flock of fowls will givo a larer
profit, in proportion to tho capital in
vested in them, than anything clso on
the farm.
One often sees tho hint given thnt
sheep require less cure than other stock,
and so aro more profitable. On tho con
trary, they should have constant care
and good attention.
Tho editor of tho Dairy World says
there is no such thing as ovcr-produc
tion in a prime nrticle of butter. There
simply au over-production of ignor
ance in tho dairying."
Those who grade and pack their fruit
carefully, honestly and tastily have an
immense advantago over other competi
tors, all things being equal, in bad as
well as iu good seasons.
Vick says that white, sweet-scented
violets do well for quite a number of year
planted where they aro apt to bo bad
places in tho sou, aud will always thrive
if the gross does not crowd them too
closely.
All fallen fruit, no matter how small
or how early in the season, should bede
stroyed. It is in the fallen fruit thnt
many insects mature. They can bo
better destroyed by destroying tho fruit
than iu any other manner.
Ouo of the best safeguards agaiust
dry season is to use hind plaster in tho
hills of corn. A very small amount of
plaster will answer. Put it on tho hills
after covering the seed. It attracts
moisture and is of itself a fertilizer.
Many cellurs are damp that could be
drained with drum tile. A spirit level
laid on the cellar window sill and

iug the difference in the slopo of the
land where it is desirable to drain the

A solution of kainit, or muriate of
potash, at the rutc ot one ounco to the
pint of water, has been found to bo sure
death to many insects, sucu ns green fly
cabbage maggot, etc., by coutnet. Thi:
simple and sufo remedy is worthy of
trial.
Tho broadcast seeding of fodder corn
is ouo of the agricultural absurdities tha
tomo farmers persist iu fDllowine. Kod
der corn should always bo grown

an improvement. The pumpkin is not

DRINKING! HABITS.
"There are a great many men who aro
overworked and underfed," said a physician;
'they think they are too busy to eat lunch
at midday, and resort to stimulants as a sub
stitute for food, it only takes a minute to
step into a barroom and take a drink. This
makes them feel better for the time, but tha
e fleet soon passes awy and another is taken
to get I HI. ol tlie empty leeliug. 1 lie hamt
throws until H takes eigut, ten, or more
driuks a duy to keep thein going. Alcoholio
stimulants aro the worst thing in the world
for an empty stomach, finally causing catarrh
of the stomach, iutirferin- with the secre
tions of the liver and distroying the ability
to ussimilate food. YYheu a man comes to
me in this coudition tlie first thing 1 do Is to
cut off his whisky or whatever form of stimu
lant he is addicted to, and substitute food
for it. I can't substitute solid food, because
Ins stomach won't retain it. I must get him
to take somethiu that will. This is whore
hot milk and vichy comes in. Cold milk is
too harsh. It shocks bis weakened stomach.
Hence I give it to him but. Y'lchy lightens
and livens it; makes it more easily digested.
I tell him to take a glass two-thirds milk,
one-third vichy, twicj a day; to order it
over a bar, anywhera he can get it, and to
let whisky aud all stimulants severely alone.
If he obeys the orders I will cure him and
safe his life. A good many men among my
own patients, fast growing prematurely old
und bringing upon themselves a multitude
of ills by the steady use of alcoholic stimu
lants instead of the nutritious food which
they should take, have been reclaimed by the
use of hot milk and vichy. If you find you
are losing your appotite for food aud eoi re
kpondiiijjly gaining that for alcoholic stimu
lant, try it. It will do you good." .Vein
