, GUINEAS ON T1IR FAUM.
Time is no ilc for Ouinea fowls in
market, but the Guinea fowl is, never
theless, ono of the finest of nil table
birds, possessing a certain game flavor
that is not found In other fowls. They
liavc full meated breasts, and possess but
n small proportion ol otlal compared with
liens. If their real valuo for the table
wero known they would sell at high
prices. On tlu farm they cost almost
nothing, being industrious forageri, and
there never was a better insect extermi
nator thau tho Guinea. Outside of tho
eggs they provide, without cost, they de
stroy thousands of insects, and though
their efforts in that direction may not be
apparent, yet tho work goes on with
them constantly. They are never idle,
being engaged from early morn until
night. Mirror and Farmer.
j HOW TO rLANT A FLOWER ll;n.
lr is no easy matter, writes a corre
spondent, to prr pure a flower bed for the
seeds, and especially if tho turf has not
been spaded up for years. After the sods
are taken away the bed should bo well
filled up with earth, so that it will not
bo too damp, It should then be raked
over and made smooth, after which it is
ready for the seeds. Some seeds, pan
aics for instance, should first be planted
in boxes, ami wlieu large enough must
bo ret into tho ground. It is well to
transplant pansy seedlings two or throe
times, and when the seedlings are trans
planted it should be done at night rath
er than in the morning, unless it is a very
cloudy day. Some seedlings will not
stand it well to be transplanted. Tho
poppy, for instance, should never bo
transplanted. When, pansy seeds are
Erst planted it is better to water them
with boilinir hot water, because they
will sprout quicker. This must not bo
done more than two or three times, on
account of killing the sprouts. Seeds
may be planted in rows or not, but I
prefer to have them mixed up, as I think
they look prettier. It is very discour
aging to have a bed all dug over, seeds
planted and sprouted, and then to have
Some child run over it. That was my
case with a nivturtium bed, and the
seeds were just prouting. My brother
was out digging up a bed and playing
with a little girl at tho same time, when
she ran s ." ht through the best part.
Of course I suall not know tho difference
en years from now. Tho weeds should
nlways bo kept out from among the
plants and the earth should bo loosened
quite often. The planU should bo wat
ered evcrv uav. ana I think it u in.Hnr
iu uu tb ait uigiii. it nea me pinms are
in blossom some folks seem to bo afraid
to pick them. It is very much better
for various kinds of plants to pick oil tho
blossoms, as it makes them bloom more
freely. Ae England llonmtead.
110AKDINO TUB HELP.
Grace Perry wiitcs to tho Farm
Journal that to many a farmer's wife tho
most disagreeable part of farming is tho
taking into tho family of help that is
needed. It is the primitive custom yet
retained in many locations, but with im
proved methods of farming will come
more enlightened ideas as to tho preser
vation of tho heart of the home, tho wife
and the mother, ami her strength will bo
husbanded as we do not think of now.
It is too precious to lie wasted in prepar
ing immense dinners for brawny meu
other than her own family.
And whnt an absurdity to iry and feed
children on food fit for hard working
men ; it cannot be done. Food proper
for children would not furnish the
strength necessary for tho performance
cf hard physical labor, and to feed chil
dren ou tho hearty food laborers need
would lead to no end of ill-heath for
them. It is almost an impossibility to
deny children food that is ou tho table
and to hold them to the proper diet with
things before them that they want so
bad.
There are so many dishes that a wo
man loves to prepare for her own family
that would be silly to set before laboring
men. Dishes that would bo of no more
good to them in tho way of nourishment
than so much candy, but that wc lovo
and make good for us such ns custards,
cream puffs, cakes, lemon pies and such
light dishes.
And, too, the meeting of the family nt
table should be the pleasautust nlTair of
the day, und where a man is a busy one
it is often tho time to make plans, to
talk over many private matters that one
docs not speak of beforo any but members
of his own family.
One's evenings, too, should bo gen
erally spent in private, just the fumily.
Who is willing to admit to tho intimacy
of tho heme evcuing circle those who
may retail all that happens or who may
influence tho boys ami girls ever so little
in a way we cannot approvo of?
Let tho help havo their own quarters.
A married man is best, then ho has his
own home life and is content.
llOO t IlOl.ERA.
The most reliable authorities differ iu
many points in regard to tho disease
known m "hog cholera," for it seems to
be manifested iu nearly ns many ways as
ever the "homail" iu cuttju was, and as
that has beta found to be iu i;o way a
disrate of the horns, though the horn
may become diseased in consequence of
some forms of it, so the cholera is not
the disease, but u symptom of the efforts
nature is making to throw off tho dis
ease. And quite tu often the first symp
tom of theso diseases are constipation
rather than scouring, but it does not at
tract attention. The feeding of iudi-
gestdde food may originate diseases that
are often called hog cholera," uiui most
frequent are thu feeding of grass or
clover whilo wet, weeds that ure partially
wilted or have lain iu piles until they
Lave begun to decay, decaying vegeta
bles, aud musty or mouldy grain," mid
city swill containing more or less of mat
ter which has le.n hed nearly tho last
stage of decay. While scouring and
Vomiting are among tho earliest symp
toms noticed in niHiiy cases, others show
duliie, stupor and lo.-s of appetite, aud
HThaps a breaking out of rod or nearly
purplu spots back of thu cats, ou the
rump or thighs, and on parts lain on or
kept too warm by contact with other ani
mals when lying down in tho pen. In
nearly all stages the evacuations are
poisonous to other swine and when tho
disease once appears in a hen! the Inrger
part of them will take it unless tho most
effective measures are taken to check its
progress. Tho removal cf nil not yet
ailing to clean jiens and grounds, tho
best of caro in regard to proper food,
and a supply of clean water for drinking
and bathing, nro usually mere effectual
remedies than medicine, but all pens and
yards in which hogs have been taken
sick should be at once disinfected after
they have been removed, fof which pur
pose a solution of carbolic acid or of
sulphuric acid seems to be as good as
anything kuown, though sulphate of
iron (copperas) may tuffico in placo of
more powerful disinfectants, or a solu
tion of corrosive sublimate. Theso so
lutions will not bo very strong, but must
bo used abundantly about all wood
work, to penetrate into all cracks and
crevices. Air-slaked lime upon the earth
of yards and pens may assist very much,
but pastures where sick swine have run
should be plowed to bring up frosh earth
to tho sun'ace, and etcn then it is wvll
to uso tho lime around thoir most fre
quent haunts. All dead animals should
be buried deep or cretnatod. Cotton

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Have your fowls any shade!
Spado up the runs occasionally.
No farm should bo without one or two
good brood sows.
Fowls having tho run of the farm will
get along with a little corn theso days.
Sheep arc often a source of economy,
as they thrive on what would othcrwiso
bo wasted.
AH plants started in hot-beds should
bo exposed to tho air a few dys boforo
transplanting.
The little chicks will sooner bo big
oucs is kept shut up each morning until
tho ucw is oil.
As far as possible, contrive to have
your crops come on successively not nil
at the same time.
JIukc pot pics of stock you do not
wish to winter, if you have too few to
make a shipment.
What a blessed thing it is that tho
weather and the growth of crops do not
depend on politics.
Look to your sources of water supply,
and sec that they are not receptacles of
foulness and disease.
No country is ever so prosperous as
when its labor forces are all employed
and properly directed.
Hid you mean to clean out the hen
houso ycsterdavl Did you do it?
If
not, stick your head into it to-night at
nine o clock.
Notwithstanding the good fruit pros
pects tomatoes will find ready purchasers
and can always bo mado a salable and
paying crop.
Fowls running at largo should be pro-
vided with convenient secluded nesting !
csting
places known to you or they will find
some unknown ones.
We believe the sooner a sick hon is
killed the better. It saves timo, saves
feed, saves health to the rest. Kill and
bury every moping hen.
Don't pull too many stalks from tho
rhubarb bed ; lot some of tho loaves re main,
for they are the lungs that supply
life and vigor to the roots.
Some men pay a great deal of atten
tion to the branches of the fruit tree,
nnd let the roots take caro of themselves.
Both require equal attention.
Don't pick the peaches too green.
Remember that this fruit cannot ripen
after leaving tho tree without losing its
flavor, hence the value of near-by mar
kets and local growers.
Present prices of land aud its products
will not justify a man in clearing rocky
land for pastures or fields cither, unless
it is near some large town where market
gardening can be followed.
To keep borers awav from my peach
trees and to keep the trunks nice and
smooth I wrap them with tur paper from
an incu below ground up eighteen inch
es when first set out and keep it on.
If you do not use a lawn mower savo
tomu nicely cured fine grass where you
can get at it next winter, ltun some of
it through tho feed cutter and soak out
for tho fowle; they will appreciate it.
It cost much more to regain a lent
pound of flesh on a steer thau to add a
like weight to a thrifty ono. In pur-:
chasing steers to feed, thrifty ones will
generally be fouud tho more profitable.
We know of nothing that purities the
hen-house better than fresh earth scat
tered ou tho floor. Kerosene may kill
lice, ashes or dust be good for a dust1
bath, but neither of these give the fresh
ness that fresh soil does. Try it.
The improvement in nntivowild fruits
has made the Northwest more productive
in the line of plums, cherries and cur
rants, while tho introduction of pears
and apples from Russia has greatly in
creased the production in that line.
The little culls of strawberries, per
haps imperfect ou one side, will add but
a triflu to the quantity of fruit and surely
pull down the price for the basket or j
crate more than seems possible. Suc
cessful fruit men agree iu tho advice to
assort closely.
Language of the Urates.
It is announced ns a new discovery
that monkeys have a language of their
own, vocal sounds to each of which an
itle'i is attached. That is nothing new.
Kvery observant farmer's boy knows that 1
tho cat bird talks, and the crow and '
every other animal, and it does not tuke
much study to learn what each means by
its words. You know what they say
for "come," for "get out," for "here is
something good to eat," for "run, there
is danger," tor "I'm hungry." "Cluck
chickling will run full tilt to get the bug
or crumb v.hich she says she has. Then
"chir-r-r," und the chicks will scoot un
der the bushes. Hunters used to call
the moose und tho deer aud the wolf.
The stag moose required two kinds of
invii.itiou first, the call of his mute,
which would bring him toward the hunt
er, but not near enough for a shot, and
then the challenge of his rival, which
would bring him with a plunging charge.
To say that Sijnians talk is nothing new.

TO HOII, POTATOKS.
To boil potatoes, wash them very clean
through several waters; any dirt remain
ing will enter into the potato through
the medium of tho water. Wash them
only just before boiling them. Cut
away an inch wido of tho skin around
tho middle of each potato) this facili
tates tho escape of their poisonous sub
stance, railed solium, which is next to
the inside of the skin, ami is most hurt
ful in potatoes Uot entirely ripe, or in
thoso sprouting toward spring. ISontoii

A SHOUT SERMON FOR WASItDAT.
It is well to remember that too much
bluing renders clothes yellow after a
time. Inexperienced or careless servants
think the more bluing in tho water tho
better for tho wash and it is a difficult
matter to convince them that tho clothes
will look far better if only a small quan
tity be used. Usually half a tablespoon
fill to a tub of water is sufficient. It
should nlways bo diluted before it is put
iu the tub, if not thoroughly mixed be
fore the clothes are put in, unsightly
streaks will bo tho result. If the clothes
nro soake.l over night ono tablcspooafnl
of puro wat-r ammonia iu each tub of
of wnter will materially lessen the labor
of washing. Aew York Journal.
TO PROTKCT WINTER CI.OTHINO.
Now is the time of year when the moth
is to bo feared, and every good houso
wife, nnd tho countless young men who
live in boaidiug houses look around for
some means to keep the insect out of
wiuter clothing. The present hot
weather will lend to tho discarding of
the lost vestige of winter clothing, and
people who cannot afford to have thoir
winter goods spoiled during tho summer
should at once take steps to prevent tho
moth from getting iu them, for this
weather is just tho kind to mako him
lively.
After tho clothes havo been carefully
wrapped up or stowed nwny in drawers,
a small quantity of camphor and turpen
tine placed in each bundle or drawer,
will have tho desired effect in keeping"
the moth nt a distance. Most people
dislike tho various prcparatius for tho
prevention of moth, because of tboir
vilo odor, but in this respect nothing
whatever of au ojcctionable naturo can
be fouud in tho mixture of camphor and
turpentine, while nothing is more effec
tive. A'eit York Rem.

A COMPLETE TKMrKRAKCK LKCTURli
Years ago the Bl.-u-kleet Indians in Drit.tah
Columbia were n numerous and powerful
race. Up to ISCd they numbered over 10,
KKI; they were rich in buifalos and ponies.
Tn 1881, only twentvyeirs later, they num
bered only fiiVKI: they were utterlv demoral
ized and falling into decay. Father
combe, a L'athollc missimmry, explains this
decadence. It was the work of unprincipled
Americans who cros-sed the line with quan
tities of whisky which they sold to the In
dians, who, as is well kuown, are unable to
resist the white man's "lire-water." Hun
dreds of them died, some poisoned, soma
frozen to death while intoxicated and uiany
shot down by United States bullets. Tho
small-pox came and those wbo survived tried
to drown their fears and sorrows in rum.
They sold their rob and their horses for it
and ttien began killing one another. At last
the Canadian Uov,-rnin ant sent the mounted
poliee, who found them in rugs, without
horses or guns. The liquor traffic was
stopped and now prosp.-rity is returning to
the Indians, During t!ia last two years,
Father Laeombe says they have purchase'!
20 HI horses to replace those sold for liquor.

"BCT OXB SALVATION."
The work for personal temperance is Iu
rouietent hands, aud is energetically pushed.
From ther nature, all the social, moral, re
ligious and business forces are arrayed
against intemperance, nnd their effectiveness
is increasing steadiiyj but there is one class
that all these efforts cannot reach. We refer
to that too numerous class who, through
weakness, or ignorance, or bad surroudiugs,
are outside, the jwle of the moral and social
and other forces which are potent with those
ou a higher plane. For this class there is
nut one salvation thnt is through prohibi
tion, to crush the trnllle and render it impos
sible for tueni to become the slaves of dnuk.
The problem then presents itself in this form:
"Shall the State reine ly their lnek ot ability
or desire to control tho apptite for drink by
rendering it, through lejul means, very diffi
cult or impossible of gratification?"' Public
seiitimeut is growing m f ivor of an affirma
tive answer to this question. It is becoming
well understoo I that the increase ot crime is
directly traccablo to drink, that the rapid
increase in the percentage of the insane and
other ilef ective classes is largely due to the
sume cause; and consequently that the iu
ereaseof the public burden of supporting
the machinery of the criminal courts, and
of our penal reformatories and charitable
institutions, comes chiefly from the rum
ti allic. To this is added the defiant latitude
of the rum power toward all legislation in
tended to protect society ; its evasion and
defiance of laws whieh interfere in any way
with it, notably the (Sunday laws; and iti
utter unmaiiagealiteness in every way brings
meu to understand that tiiera can be but one
way of dealing with the evil that is to
crush, destroy, exterminate its . cause. The
rum trullic is not a legitimate business. It
supplies no proper human need, being simply
a puuder to vice ani crime. It is a minister
to human depravity, without one redeeming
feature or one logic tl excuse for existence.
The work of persouul temperance needs to
lie supplemented by the Stat ) rescuing out
the arm of the law to pulverizj the rum

ever he has taken a
cold of this kind he uses Iloschee's

every time. Here is a man Who
knows the full danger of lung trou

particular as to the medicine he used.
What is his opinion ? listen I " I
Use nothing but Itoschcc's German
