There is phosphorus in eggi aa well as
lime in their shell. Tho laek of these
materials in winter is often one reason
why hens do not lay well. Wo have
feed tho commercial phosphato to hens,
mixed with grain, and they ate tho first
almost as greedily as tho other. But
ground bone is chesper as well as better.

ENSILAGE IN BARRELS.
An inquiry has been made in regard
to kcoping ensilngo in barrels, for tho
use of poultry. It is too late now to
put up ensilage, but if tho barrel is
strong and will resist the required pres
sure, there is nothing to prevent the
tho storage of cut corn, green clover,
grass, rabbnge or any other material;
but tho pressure mut bo sufficient to
entirely exclude the air, as fermentation,

SPIDEHS IX TflE CONSERVATORY.
We olteu heard of red s;iidera in con
nection with plant--, and what an amount
of damage is caused by them. But it
should not bo inferred from this that all
spiders arc injurious to plants. The so
called red spiders which are harmful to
plants, are not true spiders, but are a
species of mite small, indeed but
mighty often in numbers and effect.
Tho true spiders, such as spin visible
webs and are found in dark corners
about building?, aro predaceous in their
habits, and live upon flies and such iu
sccts as may prove injuriom to vtgeta
tion. Their presence may not bo appre
ciated, because of the prejudice which
many have against them, but thev are
friends in the conservatory rather than
foes. They should not bo classed with
tho littlo mito known as red spider.

THE HEAT OF A HOTBED.
There is ' one necessary clement of
growth in the germination of seeds (this
will be fully explained on another occa
sion) besides moisture and warmth, and
this is air. If a seed is buried too deen
in the soil it does not germinate. This
is a matter of common experience, as
when land is plowed deeply or dug up
from a considerable depth, seeds ger
minato that have laic in the ground for
many years. Almost all seeds contain a
Urge proportion of oil, and this is a pro
vision of nature for their preservation.
This oil resists decay and prevents rot
ting of the seeds. Tho inanuro from an
old hotbed spread out on the surface of
the ground the next spring will almost
always produce many weeds, and espec
ially grass and clover, tho seeds of which
have remained sound in it from the year
before. The same is true of nauuro
heaps a year uld.ATcw York Timet.
COrKTRY BEEF CLUBS.
We used to be foolish enou-'b. in this
neighborhood Philadelphia. Mo. to
sell all our nice fat beef to the butcher
for city people to eat. and we would cat.
old salty bacou except late in tho fall
we would kill our winter beef. That
way is changed now. We have, in this
neighborhood and other neighborhoods
in this county, organized beef clubs,
which annually kill tifty t) sixty bs;cves,
inside of a radius of eight miles, before
freezing weather comes. Usually eight
persons or families airree to furnish a
yearling heifer. Then some one is
chosen or agrees to do tho killing, divid
ing aud keeping of books, and is paid
by the club $1.25 to $1.50 for each beef
killed and thus divided. If, iu case one-
eighth of a beef is too much for one
family, they either tell part or take iu
unother partner. We begiu killing
about the middle of September, or as
soon as nights aro cool enough thor
oughly to cool off the beef. We kill
yearling heifers because they make bet
ter Deet than steers, and aro not worth
as much money. Heifers sell at two
cent and two and one -quarter cents ner
pound, gross. That makes our beef net
us four to four and one-half cents, and

TOTATO VISE BOWSR.
Iu the past five or six years there has
appeared in this section, writes Dr. A.
G. Chase of Kansas, an euemy of the po
tato that is seriously affecting tho yield.
It is a borer, about an inch and a quar
ter long by two lines in diameter, pink
ish brown on the back, with a light yel
low, narrow stripe on the sides. Indeed,
1 think there may be more than one kind
of these borers, although I have never
found but this one in the potato; but I
have found auothcr and diilerent worm in
squash and pumpkin-vines and iu the
common "careless'' or hog weed, as it is
often called. In the pctato vine thev
do their work chiefly from tho middle
ot June to July 10. They generally enter
a few inches abovo the ground and work
up aud down, hollowing out the rjith
aud i)ushini their chins out through
the entrance hole, like the hickory and
other wood borers, aud the vino soon dies.
W ith the early crop of potatoes their
work does little damage, but second early

jy checking the growth. In mv potatoes
this year every third or fourth hill had
a borer, and many of tho vines were
dead August 1 that ought to have been
in vigorous growth. I am not an entomol
ogist to recoguize the moth, or to hatch
Ue worm. 1 have thought that two or
three sprayings of the vines with Paris
green might prevent the laying of the
egg; or, what is more probuble, two or
three thorough dustings with insect pow

TJ1K HESSIAN FLY.
The Ilcfeiuu fly has more or lesj in-
fejted the wheat Colds of many of the
States during u period exceeding 1U0
years. It is nu imported iusectaud its in
troduction abnut the time of the lauding
of the lleisiau troops iu ltcvolutiouury
times has led to its name.
Professor V. M. Webster, now consult
ing entomologist at theOUiit .SUtiou, de
scribes the iusect as a sniLill two-wiuged
lly about one-eighth of au inch luug aud
of a dusky color, appealing during May
aud June aud aguiu iu September and
October. The eggs are deposited ou the
I'pper side of the leaves and thj young
as toon us they hatch make their way
down the plant behind the sheuth to ueur
the lower joiut uud there become im
bedded iu the soft part of the stem. Hero
they pit Si the winter uud summer; iu the
foruier can' iu Vm yuuug wheat, am
the latter case in the stubble. The adults
appear and tho eggs aro deposited at
dates varying with the latitude, being
earlier in tho fall to the northward and
later to the southward. After the fly
has gained possession of a field no reniC'
dy is known that will destroy it.
Among the preventive measure are
burning tho stubble, late sowing and ro
tntion of crops. Tho idea of lato sowing
is to retard tho plants so that they do
not appear until after the greator part of
the lull brood or Hies have appeared and
died, when, if sown with fertilizers, the
plants may overcome the offoct of this do-
lay beforo winter closes in. Pasturing
early sown wheat in tho fall may destroy
many of the maggots and eggs.
This insect suiters much from the at
tacks of minute parasites, nnd Professor
Hiloy, of the Department of Agriculture,
has, during tho ycar.importcd from Eng.
landa foreign species of those parasites.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Don't uunccessarily expose tho horse
to storms and wind.
It is believed that there is danger in
Drceaing irom blind mares.
Save the best hay for the season when
your horses will have to woik hardest.
The best poultry breed is the one you
have tested aud tried and is best adapted
to your purpose.
Two by four-inch scantlings placed
two feet from tho ground or floor make
perches lor toyrls.
Pekin ducks are easily raised, grovf
rapidly, aud make flesh twice as fa9t as
a fast-growing chicken.
A breed generally has only one dom
tnant talent and seldom excels iu moro
than one characteristic. '
By kesping fowls through the winter
in good condition their usefulness in tho
spring is greatly increased.
It is estimated by good authority that
good average comb will yield from sixty
to eignty per cent, pure beeswax.
Put away your surplus beo" supplies
where moth will not destroy empty
combs and they should be kept in a dry
place.
Tho ignorant ''boss doctor'' should
be given a wide berth. Tho educated
veterinarian knows little enough about
his dumb patients.
In all cases of fistulu or poll-evil, it is
well to give a constitutional as well as
local treatment. A sore like these must
affect the blood more or less.
It docs a team no good to let it stand
tied to a hitching-post.with the thermom
eter ten degrees below zero, an opinioa
which everybody will endorse.
It is reported that there are In the
United States 10,000 bee-keepers having
500 colonies. A very prominent bee
keeper seems to doubt the statement.
Poultry raising as an exclusive business
has only in exceptional cases proved a
success; tho principal dependence for
both eggs and poultry is upon the
farmer.
There aro ringbones that cannot be
cured, unless a skillol veterinarian exam
ines the case; however, there is no way
to tell that, except by trying tho usual
remedies of blistering aud firing.
A reliance on old and tried varieties of
fruits is the proper thing for a novice in
fruit culture. Many of those old fruits
are as prolific and profitable as they wero
a generation ago. Let the scientists and
the nurserymen do the experimenting.
Treat the dog well if you are deter
mined to keep him. Feed him such
foods as will satisfy the whole system.
We have little doubt that soma dogs are
led to kill sheep because the svstem
craves for nourishment that it does not
get.
There s not a farm where craia has
been fed, especially cotton or linsaed
meal, but tho evidence may be read in
the fertility of tho soil. Those grains
are so rich in plant food that the ani
mals take but a small per cent, in its
passago through the body.
If you know that dam and sire are
without weaknesses, wo would say to a
correspondent, there is no danger in
close inbreeding. The trouble is that it
is difficult to know that. It is not to be
forgotten that our improved breeds are
largely the result of inbreeding.
Some men will plow and work around
a bowlder for half a lifetime. The
cheapest way to dispose of it, if it is too
large to be hauled off,is to dig a pit and
topple it over into it. We have seen
nviny aa unsightly, bothersome stone
effectually disposed of in this way.
Pigs cannot bo gvown profitably on
whey alone, but when fed with cornmeal
and shorts there is a marked saving.
Seven pounds of whey about equal ouo of
cornmeal when they are fed together, aud
therefore when the former is worth twelve
dollars pertiui whoy is worth eight cents
per huudrcd.
A growiug hog will, if of good breed,
increase fully one pound in weight every
cay of its life. If it does this it is
pretty sure to leave a profit over cost of
seeding aside from iU addition to tho
manure pile. If it does not, dispose of
it iu some way, and get pigs that will do
this. There are several breeds that can
bo fed with profit and the grades of
these for feeding are as good as the pure
blood.
Match Heads for Percussion Caps.
A countryman in Tennessee, where
forests aud game are plenty, found that
his boys, who all have a gun apiece, be
cume short of percussion caps a few days
ago, and the first thing he knew they
wero shooting with mutch heads as a
substitute. IIow mauy boxes of matches
he had lost iu that way he did not say,
but he fouud they tired as clear as the
cap itself. It is said that uecessity is the
inuther of inveutiuu. Here is a chance
for some mau to make a fortune by get
ting out a "new pitent." All that is
necessary is to adapt the guulock to the
"mutch head." Tho patent would ba
readily adopted by the rifle clubs that

A TOTAL ABSTINENCE PIONEER.

article In the Christian Advocate of New

to the uiouior. y of the great ( 'atholio Total
Abstiueuce pioneer, Father Mather;
"During the year after my graduation from
Priuctou College I visito I Hitland, and on
reaching Edinburgh. I found the teetotalers
of that city preparing to go over to (Hasgow
to give a welcome to Father Matbaw. He
was making his Hist visit to the laud whore
the religion of John Knox has been so often
drowned out by the whisky of poet Burns.
Arriving in Glasgow we found a multitude
of over tifty thousuu i pejple assembled on
the green. In au optn barouche, drawn by
four horses, .too I a short, i-tuut Irishman,
with a handsome, Is-uevolt-ut countenance,
attired in a long blnck coit a silver medal
hung upon his oreast. The crowd surged
around his carriage, many of them striving
to grasp his hand or even to touch his cloth
ing; for the numlier of Catholic Irish in
Glasgow was even than very large. After
the procession had forced its way through
the densely thrnnsed streets, it halted in an
open square. Father Mathew began to ad
minister the pledge, which was read out to
the people, w ho kneeled before hiiu on the
ground in platoons. Mathew laid his hands
on each o:ie, and pronounced his priestly
benediction; over the necks of many a small
l.ie Jul was hung, in this rapid manner the
teetotalw pledge was administered to many
huudreJs within un hour, aud fresh crowds
came forward. When 1 was introduced to
the good man as an Am"ric-an, he put his
arm on my shoulder and said: 'God bless
you, my sou1' and gave me a kiss. As I was
about to muke the first uublic tomperauiM
siwech of my life (in the Glasgow City Hull),
I suppose that I may regard that act of the
great Irish apostle as a sort of ordination
to the ministry of preaching tbe sound gos

FOR THE CHILDREN.
My little girl suffered for three years from a large Alcess on her hip, the resuu of
fall and dislocation. The Altcess was large, with six openings, all of which discharged
puss. I was induced by friends to give her 8. 8. S , and by the time the filth bottle was
finished the Abscess was entirely healed, and the child was well and happy. Mrs. J. A.

I had three little girls who were attacked with obstinate BOZBMA or Wood
Trouble, which at first resembled heat, but soon grew to yellow blisters, some of them quite
lrge. One of the children died from the effects of it, but we got Swift's Specific and gave
to the other two, and they soon got well. S. S. S. forced out the poison promptly. The
cure was wonderful J. 1). Rains, Marthaville, La.

woman's suffering and woman's
weakness. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription jmts a stop to it. It's
a remedy for all tho delicate de
rangements and disorders that mako
her suffer, and a euro for all the dis
eases and disturbances that make
her weak. It's a legitimate medi
cine, thai corrects and cures ; a
tonio that invigorates and builds
up J a nervine that soothes and
strengthens. For bearing down
pains, displacements, all tho func
tional irregularities peculiar to the
sex, it's a safe and certain remedy.
Other medicines claim to enro?
That's true. But they don't claim
to do this : if tho Favorite Pre
scription fails to give satisfaction,
in any cose for which it's recom
mended, tho money paid for it is
refunded.
Judgo for yourself which is likely
to be tho better medicine.
And think whether something else
offered by tho dealer is likely to be
"just as good."
You pay only for tho good you get.
On these terms it's tho cheapest.
