The quickest way to get rid of a costly mowing machine, hay rake, or even corn cultivator, is to store it in the corner of the fence, with rain-clouds for a cover ing. Farmers who cannot properly house their implements should not have any, and nature takes the shortest method of depriving them of their aids to crop growing. If too lazy to build a shed, the next best thing is to let some one else run the farm, and, as a hired man, one can be forced to do ior others what might have been done for one's self. Too many farmers rust out, along with the machinery that stood like scarecrows through tho long winters. American Agriculturist. FOWLS EATING FEATIIERS. Every case of depraved appctito in an animal is due to some craving induced by a want of sufficient variety of food. Fowls must necessarily bo supplied with a large quantity of nitrogenous matter and some sulphur to provide the mate rials for their feathers aud eggs, which contain a large proportion of these sub stances. If this nutriment is not sup plied the birds aru uneasy and the health will fail, until they cannot produce the plumage or the eggs. Both of these necessary elements of nutrition are sup pled by flesh meat, and hence fowls are instinctively consumers of small animals and insects. When they cannot pro cure a supply of theso tney must be furnished with a substitute. In practice it is found that fowls that have a regular supply of animal matter do not exhibit this habit of eating feathers or eggs. If a regular feeding of fresh bones with meat on them and finely broken is given from the beginning of winter there will be no trouble in this direction. The hubit is more cosily prevented than cured. New York Times. "PrLEKDID GARDEN." My garden is ten rods long and eight wide, writes a correspondent. I plow assoon in spring as it gets dry enough to work well. While plowing I call all my hens in, say 150, to pick up tho worms; they have a feast. The next day I harrow flue, and plant and do all I can to keep the hens at work to get rid of worms. I then sow all small seeds in rows the whole length of garden, as straight as a line can be drawn, twenty-eight inches apart, raking wide enough for one row, and draw line and mark with end of hoe handle close to line about an inch deep. Then I sow the seeds, such as beets, let tuce, onions, cabbage, carrcts, spinach, parsnips, tomatoes, etc. ; remove the line and pat the dirt on tho seeds with the back of the rake, so as to cover the seeds about half an inch deep, and they always grow. Next, I ruke enough for another row and sow, and so on until all the small seed are sown. I plant two rows of English multiplier onions one row of large and one of small in the same way, only I use the corner of the hoe for a marker, for they must be planted deeper, and a couple of rows of peas a foot apart ; cover us before with back of rake, and pat the soil firm; they are sure to grow. Treat cucumbers, squash, beans, etc., the same, only farther apart; potatoes, three fjet; corn 2J feet. The whole garden is planted in rows lengthwise. It is a great pleasure to run a good cultivator up and down between the rows and see the weeds turn up their toes and die. Try this plan, dear reader. I let hens roam over my garden all they wish, and somehow they don't scratch up anything, perhaps be cause I feed them every day and have no dog. It may be they don't know where the seeds are. One thing I know, all passers-by look with admiration, aud often shv, "Ob, see what a splendid gar den ; I never saw the like of it." Oer mautowu Telegraph. HOW TO SUPPLY PLANT FOOD. It is of great advantage to farmers and horticulturists, to understand the me thods by which plants take up their food from the soil, thinks A. B. Barrett, for it will enable one to understand the special needs of his soil much better. Tbeie must be an economy in feeding plants, as well as in feeding animals, and u the needs of plants are better under stood tho more we are enabled to prac tice this. A great part of the manure that has been applied to plants has been lost simply owing to ignorance on this subject. The true economy in feeding plants is to know the value of a rotation of crops. Special functions are per formed by different crops, aud they live on diflereut substances in the soil and air. Tho corn crop, for instance, has the great power of growing almost con tinuously upon the same soil, or at least until tho nitrates of the soil are ex hausted. In time they carry away a great deal of nitrogen, which weakens the soil for certain other plants. While the corn crop can grow for a long period upon the native soil which ban nut been manured, the root crop ou tho other baud depends largely upon manures well supplied with phosphates. They also exhaust the soil of nitrates, but not quite so rapidly as the corn. The leguminous plants, clover especially, are said to return nitrogen to the soil, and are great crops to follow the corn. It is somewhat doubtful abou. the clover plants gathering ibeir nitrogen from the air, as some claim, but if not from the atmosphere the long roots bring it up from the sub soil. By the 'ng roots tbey stir up the soil and colletit nutriti ous mateiial which the - ... - V rri. . ent upon soil and climate than upon manures for their growth. The true theory of cultivating tha soil then is to economize in manure con sistently, and to use the other simple methods which nature gives us. Nutri ficiition of the soil has to take place in the spring before tho plants enn grow, aud this is forwarded by good plowing and stirring, s) that the sun and air can work upon it. Thorough cultivation is thus often more essential than manure. A judicious rotation of crops, including the three different kinds of plants, corn or wheat, roots and clovers, should also be adopted, to get the most benefit from the soil. In this way less manure will be required, aud the soil will always be kept supplied with all the plant food required. This is intensive farming on an intelligent plan. Boston Cultivator. MISTAKES IN CHEKSB MAKING. The usual method of the chee3e maker is to rush the process of making, and in far too mmy cases, attempt a big yield at the expense of quality. In many factories, tho night's milk is held over until morning, and tho morning's milk then added. The night's milk is usually warmed up in advance, the new milk added as it arrives, and when tho lost can goes in, the milk is ready to sot. The rennet is quickly introduced, and then the curd is heated up to ninety-sis degrees or ninety-eight degrees as soon as possible. The haste to cook, salt and get to press is observed as in the first process, and the result is cheese of all grades of texture, quality and "be havior," and often final disaster. Is there no remedy? If our cheese makers, to begin with, will insist upon taking in no milk that is not up to standard, and then go slower themselves, a great gain would be made. Let this heating up wait until all the milk is received and then gradually heat up the mixed milk, keeping it well stirred until ripened. It will then work evenly and uniformly, and give a sound curd at the end. Milk is not worked down smooth enough, as a rule, before the rennet is introduced. The method of adding the rennet needs a little reform. It should be made more dilute. The small amount is not sufficient to be thor oughly mixed with the milk. If the same amount of rennet is diluted with at least three volumes of warm water and then added, better coagulation will re sult. The cooking or scalding is often done too hastily. The heat should bs raised very slowly, and at inter vals it should be held steady for a short time, and then steam again turned on. What is the object of cooking curd? to scald it, or is it a method of promoting rennet action? It is questionable whether, taking one day with another, milk is not set too warm, and later on scalded at least ten degrees too high. Some late developments seem to indicate that eighty degrees is warm enough for milk when set, and eighty six degrees to scald, rather than ninety six degrees or ninety-eight degrees, the usual temperature. The operation of cheese making should be to make a good cheese and retain all of the butter fats possible. But the moment milk or curd is warmed up to eighty-eight degrees, the oil in them tends to liquify, and es capes with the fluids, being lost as food. Of course it will take longer to cook a curd twice as long but some Cana dian experimenters are finding that they thus get as fine cheese as they ever did, with a pound less of milk for a pound of cheese. The acid needs to be developed in our curds in a dryer way, after they have been taken out of the whey, and the curds kept warm for this development to take place. The sink or drainers of our factories should be made double, so that a little live steam can be intro duced under the jacket, and the curds kept uniformly warm, until thoy will pull the threads of the requisite length. Then it should be broken up, cooled and salted by some curd mill process, or otherwise. This should be a pains taking operation, so that the curd shall not be lacerated, allowing the fats, ia part, to escape on the least provocation. Much good curd is injured by allow ing it to remain too long in the whey after the acid is developed. On the other band, some curds are put to press before they have taken on acid enough, or been properly worked and aerated, and then dumped into thj hoops too warm. Definite rules should be observed on the point, when, and at what temperature the salt should be added, and at what stage of acidity and temperature the curd shall be put to press. Many curds are hooped too warm, and the after per formance of the cheese is largely due to this cause. American Agriculturist. FAIiil AND GARDEN NOTES. Feathers are good fertilizers. Keep the poultry quarters dry. The seed ot cannas ought to be planteo early. Arrange to have the nests dark, espe cially for sitting hens. Qeese, turkeys, ducks and guineas thrive best with a good range. Keep the goose feathers separate from lue duck and chicken feathers. re kin ducks can readily bo kept on farms where there are- no ponds. To make young ducks profitable their giowth must bu pushed from the start. When the young chickens are afflicted with leg weakness, feed them bone meal. The secret of success ia the poultry yard is not in the hatching but in the feeding. Generally it is not a good plan to at tempt to keep more than fifty fowls in one house.

In connection with the temperance agita tion, now making a serlom impression on Germany, some curious statistics have been compiled, as follows: The production of ma terial manufactured Into beer, wine and suirlU In Germany occupied in 18HII-90 just about one-fifteenth of the cultivated land of the whole country, a territory somewhat 'arser than the kingdom of Baxony or the grand duchy of Baden, and somewhat smaller than the kingdom of Wurtcmberg. If this Immense field, thus devoted to the liquor traffic, were diverted lo the production of food, there might be raised on it in a year 1637 millions of kilogrammes of rye, a quantity mfficient to make &!73 millions of pounds of the bread on which the poorer elans chiefly live. The fifty millions of people of Germany would bo able to have of this bread 65))' pounds piece, or a family ot eight persons, d'24 pounds, enongh to give thorn their entire food for six or seven weeks. In the direct service of the liquor traffic agriculture, man ufacture and retailing about one and a half millions of men are engaged, ont of the twenty and one-half millions occupied in all tha industries of the land. In other words, about one-qnter of the productive energy of the country is devoted to this business. f'icoyune. THE DRINK ETM. IS SCOTLAND.

The host efforts and the last few years of Cardinal Manning's life wero soent in the in terests of the poor of London, aud it was while working for them and endeavoring to rescue them from the extrome poverty which sur rounded them that he saw that the first great evil be had to overcome was the drink habit. Among all the sqnalid dens of vice and misery of iiatohffe highway, down among the vile haunts of crime and dissipation of decayed old stairs, in the rank and fetid atmosphere of St. Giles, where the rays of the sua scarce penetrate, and where the nights were made hideous with blasphemy and cursing, and the gin palace loomed with a brilliance and lustra that made the miserable surroundings all the more pitiable by the contrast, he was not afraid to penetrate. Sido by aide with the gin palace hang the three brass balls, the pawnbroker's sign, the symbol of penury and want, the trade mark of the human vulture that deals in the lite blood of hi fellow beings. It was in these dark, vile haunts of sin and shame that Cardinal Manning firatoommenced bis temperance cnnaiiu. It was here that the League of the Cross, the strongest and grandest timperauce organization the world has ever seen, and of which he was the foun tain head, waged a pitiless warfare on the liquor traffic, and although thousands have been rescued from the dread embrace of that modern Moloch of iniquity that was grinding them in the dust, and have sought servico under the banner which rtscuea them, the dread fight still goes on aud will continue un til the authorities destroy forever these cess pools of iuiquity and vica. Writing or his temperauce work reminds me ot how he came to take the pledge, for al though preicbiug total abstinence he was uot a total abstainer uimself until some time aftar he had identified himself with the Utmptranoe movemeut. It was at a meeting of some school children whom he was going to enroll under the temperance banner, and after speaking to them of the evils of the drink hab.t, aud tin force of good example, he saiOj ".Sow, let us all kneel down and take the pledge." The children knelt down, the cardinal among them, and repeated the pledge after him, aud -when they got up a liille girl who wai nearest the carJiual, iu that precocious manner peculiar to children, said to him: "Now we ate all temper ance, just like yon." His Eminence often used to speak of this, how he bad 0-11119 to taks the pledge unintentionally, and ho aald having takeu it anrronnded by children wh ne souls were nnstaiued by sin, it made his pledge doubly binding, aud he would keep it until the day of his death. 6'ocifd JJrai t JU view.

A Skeleton In the Crystal. The aged t)f. Collier folates the fol lowing! In 1843 an old and wofth) friend, of whose sttidt veracity I bateil't the least possible doubt, came from Ililrn bam, England, with a relative to trans set some business in London. During the time of my absence from home with this relative, my friend, through sheet curiosity, took up a small oval-mounted crystal which stood near him on a table, and began to examine it. After looking at it intently for a few minutes and try ing to guess, as ho afterwards told me, what on earth such a novelty could be used for, he noticed that the surface of the instrument became clouded. This ho at first attributed to his having blown his breath upon it. Ho tried to remove the dew-like cloud with his handkerchief, but his efforts seemed to increase the cloudiness. Trescntly the cloud took upon itself the form of the legs of an ostrich, the toes and knee-joints being clearly outline . For a second they seemed to opon and close at the joints like a pair of calipers. While gating in awe-stricken wonder and amazement at this uncanny exhibition of the supernat ural, my friend noticed that the figure was slowly but surely changing its form. The ostrich legs had become those of a ghastly human skeleton, and almost in stantly the final change came, which converted the cloudiness of tho upper part of the glass into ribs, vertebras, long, bony arms, the whole surmounted by a hideous, grinning skull. At this junct ure, according to my friend's story, he began to feel a great oppression in the region of the chest and a numbness and giddiness iu the head. He lost no timo in replacing the crystal upon the tablo, and says that it was some hours before ho was able to throw off the unpleasant seusation which his curious experience produced. It was not until nearly two years after this that he ventured to tell me of the circumstance; even then I could not in duce him to iuspeet the crystal again. Iu conclusion I may remark that the dear friend, who was absent with me at the time, died at about the time Mr. B saw tho skeleton dancing in the crystal. St. Louis Republic.

Good judges say that one ot the next lo calities to achieve distinction by jumping from a substantial town to a thriving me tropolis in a few years will be the city ot Superior, Wisconsin, and this, too, with out the effort and struggle through which inferior towns have passe 1 while ef fecting the same result. Until a year or two ago the average man did not stop to think that Superior as a monopolist of tha water and rail termini at one end of the lakes is in the same position as Buffalo at the other end. Figures are uninteresting unless given briefly, but comparisons are always important. This little Su perior, credited by its last census with only 32,000 people, handled more coal last year than did Chicago; of grain it shipped nineteen million bushels, of flour sixteen hundred thousand barrels, of wool four million pounds, and of merchandise to the value of thirteen million dollars. Of all lake cities this business was second only to Chicago in magnitude. There is an economical reason for this condition of things. It Ib that the rail rate on freight sent west of Lake Mfchi gau is one cent per ton per mile, while the water rate is one-tenth of oue cent per ton per mile. This position at the ex treme western end of Lake Superior is what gives the city of Superior its prestige, and is making it grow faster than Chicago ever did. Besides one hundred and one smaller industrial concerns, Superior has located twenty-eight largo manufacturing enterprises in the past eighteen months, in cluding the American Steel Barge Com pany, the builders of the famous "whaleback" vessel, which is revo lutionizing the lake and ocean freight carrying trade. The twentv-eieht institu tions alxive mentioned include iron aud steel plants, Hour nulls, stove foundries, wagon factories, pump makers, ship builders aud saw and shingle mills. The most conser vative business men in the Northwest believe that Superior will grow faster in iue next teu years than any other city in that prosperous section of the country, and many of them claim that Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Mil waukee have never seen the rapid growth that will come to the bead of the great cbuiu of lakes and the city of Superior.
