American Farmer. KfTMnRrt OF FAHTICI.BS IN SOILS. The size of tho particles of a soil largely determines its water-holding capacity, and thereby its fitness for cer tain crops. 51. Whitney, of the Mary land station (It. is investigating farm soils in tho well-equipped labora tories of Johns Hopkins University, un der the supervision of the station, and aided by the United States Department of Agriculture. Tho accuracy and thoroughness of tho investigation is a credit to American science. Among other results, it was found that no crop can be successfully grown, unless highly manured or iirigated, on a soil having so few as l,7U0j000,000 particles in a teaspoon ful weighing a gr.-im. Good market truck is grown on a soil having 6,808,OU3,000 particles in a gram, To bacco soil contains 8,258,000,000 par ticles, wheat soil has 10,353,000,000 particles, and limestoue grass land con tains 24,653,000,000 particles in one gram. American Agriculturist. FLAX MKAI, FOR CALVES. At the Iowa station experiments have been in progress to determine the feed ing value of ground flaxseed for young calves. A bull and heifer calf of both llolstein and Shorthorn breeds were chosen, the two bulls being fed on wholo milk, and the two heifers on milk skimmed after being sot twelve hours, with as much flaxseed as they could as similate without scouring. These ex periments lasted through three months, the calves being weighed every fifteen days. The results indicate: 1. That a ration of akitn milk and ground flaxseed com pare favorably with a new milk ration for young calves 2. The skim milk and flaxseed meal fed calves were less in. terupted in their growth by weaning than were the wholo milk calves 3. A saving value of butter fat alone at $1.11 per month on fach calf, was eifectod by substituting the ground flaxseed 4. The cost of prod icing a pound of gain, estimating new milk at 874; cents per hundred pounds, tkim milk at 15 cents per hundred pounds, grain 1 cent per pound, hay "j5 per ton (tho latter two being fed alike to both lots), and flaxseed meal 3 cents per pound, was 7.6 cents per pound increase with the fresh milk ration, nnd only five cents with the skim milk ration. It seems, thereforo, more economical to feed calves skim milk and flaxseed thin with whole milk. -American Dairyman. nOW TO DEUORN. Horns on my cattle are a thing of the past, writes Waldo F. Brown. Every c If I raise now is treated when a week or so old, and the horns are killed. I got a stick of caustic potash at the drug store; throw the calf on its sido, so as to hold it easily, and wot the hair on a spot the size of a half dollar over tho embryo horn, and then rub on the potash thoroughly. When I bcan using the potash I did not rub it on long enough, and I got one or two one horned ani mals ; now I rub till the hair comes off, and the blood begins to sturt through the skin, and it represses tho horns ef fectually. I would not use any liquid preparation of potash, as thero is dan ger of its running down where it is not wanted, or teing spilled by a sudden movement of the calf ; I never tried the liquid but once, and came Dear putting out an eye. Be careful not to get tho stick potash on your lingers; wrup sev era! thicknesses of paper or cloth around it. The ilehorniug of grown cattle is a simple process; takes but a few seconds if the cow is properly fustcued, aud I do not think it is very painful, for the cattle begin to eat us soon as tho hnrus are off, and cows do not shnuk in their milk at all. I dehorned the first week in June a llolstein that was boss of tho herd, and from being kopt in a small lot, had become entirely too hndy with her horns, opening gates and doors, biucu her horns were taken oil she has become a most proper and reBpcctablo cow ; the smallest heifer in the herd makes her walk away from her feed, or drives her where she pleases. The saw is much better, I think, than nippers; the latter is likely to crush the bone uud prevent healing so quickly. The only applica tion we made after sawing was to till the cavities with wheat flour, and nlthough it was hot weather and fly time, the wounds healed over in a few days. New York Tribune. OIIOWISO CUCUMBEKS FOB PICKLES. We do Dot suppose it would bo pro fitable for the great majority of farmers to undertake to grow cucumbers fur pickles. Immense quantities ot these pickles are annually consumed, it is true; but it docsu't require a very large area to grow an immense lot of cucumbers. Yet for farmers in a locality favoraule for the purpose it might be worth while to make tlie-ffial, for the crop is a profita ble one when properly managed, yield ing sometimes us high as $75 per acre above all expenses. The conditions most favorable to suc cess in plckle-j; rowing are nearness to u large city, or facility for disposing of the product in a fresh state to d factory in which vegetables aro pickled either In salt or vinegar; or, in default of these, the necessary appliiiuces for pickling on the farm, for supplying the home or dis tant markets. A cucumber grower should be in a good apple country, whore abuudauce of cider could be obtained at small cost for conversion into vinegar. The cultivation of cucumbers for pickles is very simple. A warm, rich, faudy loam is the best soil. It should bu well manured and plowed deeply, in or der to hasten the growth so as to secure the rcuuitite tenderness and succulence. ttud uUow tUe toots to peneUtUtt the soil to ft considerable depth. The variety best suited for pickling is the Green Prolific. The time lor sowing the seed is usually about the middle of July. In planting, the ground should be marked out four feet each way, a deep furrow being made so as to leave room for a good shovelful of rich compost at each intersection. This should be worked in with the spade or hoe and the ground leveled. Five or six seeds are enough for each hill, which will require between pno and two pounds per acre. When fhe plnnts art. well started and all danger from insects is past, they should be thinned out to three or four plants to the hill. An experienced cucumber grower recommends that when the seed la sown a broadcast dressing of three or four hundred pounds of Peruvian guano per acre should be applied, as that fertilizer seem to have an especially good effect on the crop. By the addition of four hundred pounds of guano, costing (15, to the previous preparation, over threo hundred thousand cucumbers to the acre were obtained, which is double the average yield. As the crop was sold for $1.50 per thousand, the expenditure of $15 added nearly $200 to the price re ceived per acre. The cultivation required is to keep the soil loose by frequent stirring until the vines cover the ground. Th9 main vines should bo pinched at the ends to keep them within bounds and encourage the growth of lateral branches, which a-e the, moat prolific of fruit, as they bear chiefly pistillate blossoms, while those of the main branches are mostly stamonate or barren flowers. The fruit should be gathered every morning as soon as it ha reached the proper size, from two to three inches in length. The principal coomies of the cucumber are lice, which prey upon the leaves, and the striped beetle and its larva. The former may be dealt with by picking oil the first infested leaves, by which tho rapid spread of the pest may be pre vented. The striped beetle should bo treated with a dusting of finely ground gypsum; its larvie, a sin ill, slender, white worm, which gnaws into the roots, may be successfully combatted by pour ing about tho roots of the plant a mix ture of ouo gill of kerosene-oil with a solution of one pound of common yellow soap in one gallon of hot water, the whole being shaken into an emulsion. This has been found an effectual remedy. New York Mail and Express. FARM AKD GARDEN NOTES. By the way, how clean do you keep your cows' udders? Tho farmer or dairyman who allows weeds to taint his pastures is not a suc cess. If fowls have a large range now, the grain feed may be cut to once a day. Let thorn hustle for the rest they have. If the milk can is old and corroded with rust, buy a new one for the milk, use the rusty one to briug whey from the factory. Keep your chickens growing from tha shell, aud they will be ready for the table or market any time after t or twelve weeks of age. Tho good layers are active and gen erally on tho move nnd scratching about aro the first birds out in the morning aud the last to roost at night. Does it cost more to raise 1000 pounds of flush in tho form of poultry than it docs to raise 1000 pounds in the form of bcel f Which sells for the most? Tlio agricultural experiment stations and dairy schools ought, in each Stato, to noto the nppenrauco and spread of needs that cause an unpleasant flavor in milk. Tho wet season makes very "Blushy" grass. The cows, the milk and the but ter will be better if some grain is fed. Uiftu is better than corn meal for bet weather feed. Tho Malta becs are notod for the purity and delicious flavor of their honey. They extract most of it from sulla, or clover, of which there is an ex tensive, crop. Do not feed a lot of cockerels till they become "old roosters," then sell on the general market. It is hand to mak them pass us '"spring chicken" eveu if the dealer cuts tho spurs oil. Clover ii valuable in the winter feel ing of ho;s as well as for summer pas ture. Stow away a little that is cut young and nicely cured, and feed it to the stock hog that you carry over. Many hordes that are unruly and have bad dispositions are made so by bad treatment when they are colts. Gentle ness is a first rcipiUite in training and educating the colt for futura usefulness. The dairyman who feeds only homo products, com fodder nd corn meal, for instance, does not always practice econ omy. Hotter vary this one-sided ration by exchanging some corn for linseed meal. A full and strong stock of bees at swar.ning ve contains about sj.vuv workers and one prolific queen, tho mother of the wholo colony; also 000 to 800 drones are about the number to be tolerated. The best profit to the stock breeder always comes in breeding for special purpose aiiiim!?. Select your purpose, tho dairy, b-f, mutton or wool, the horse for the loader the saddle, and then stick to it. Apple growers can take a profitable step forward this year by aban loning the time-bouorci barrel and packing their finest fruit iu small boxes or crates. The market is quite ready for this departure, and such packages would undoubtedly prove populai. Care should be taken to keep the pas sage to the hives as free ns possible from weeds, briers and other obstructions. Many valuable bees, returning liomo with a full load, are lost within a few yards of the hive by getting entuugled iu the briers or weeds. There should be a good supply of wa ter near the hives these days. When bees come out of the hives in the spring tbey usually look for water the first thiug, aud the nearer the supply the less darnjer there will be of their getting j chilled to death uU their way home.

MEDICAL TKMI'EBANCE I!f EUROPE, ft Is admitted by professional men that In the struggle to check inebriety, which has so largely occupied the most cultured in tellects on the continent pf Europe, very little has been done in the advocacy of prac tical abstinence. The prevailing idea, it is aliegcd, even among members of the med ical profession there, has been that the in crease of insanity and of other evils from drinking has arisen from the heavier alco hols, and tint pure, unsophisticated spirits, wines and lieers are really temperance bev erages. That a departure is being taken in this respect by members of the medical pro lessiou is evident from tlie fact that such men as Professor Forel, of Zurich; Professor Jiangs, of Basle, and Ur. Wilhelm Bode, of Dresden, have established and are vigorously supporting total abstinence societies in those cities. New York Tribune. THE WAT I.lgUOK WORK"?. Jamns It. Young, of the Philadelphia Evening Star, snys: "In tie quarter of a century I have been out in the world plod ding my way I have s?en many splendid fel lows, some of them very near and dear friends, fall by the wayside, vauish from ex istence, the victims of the cursed habit of drink. I have seen rich men baonie poor; men of fine intellects become inmat?s of the insane asylum; refined and accomplished men wearing rags, taken to the police courts and sent to the workhouse, men of genial and funny temperament turn into brutes of the worst order. 1 have seen refined and sensitive women, driven by tha last extrem ity of poverty broujht on by the liquor habit of their husbands, compelled to go out into the world to ask from their friends ai l for themselves and ciiildron. I could write paue after page of personal experience on the subjact." WHISKV AND STOUT. - The flirt stage o" drunkenness is disorgan ization of the stomach, and this is produced much more quickly by subjecting it to the irritation of two or three stimulants at tli same time than by continuing to drink the same for a much longer period. Aain, the stomach of a person accustomed to taking alcohol usually becomes inured to whatever mav be his favoriteand most frequent drink, and much more of this would be required to make him drunk than of any other. But if a totally strange mixture of more ot less familiar intoxicants be suddenly swal lowed the shock to the stoinac i is so great that it will in some cases produce not only intoxication, but rapid insensibility, and even death, if the dose is strong enough. Home forms of alcohol are singularly antag onistic aud therefore produce the collapse o.' the stomach, and hence of the wholo system, much more truickly than others. Perhaps the uiot fatal is a r.ixturo of equal parts ot whisky and strong stout, a draught of which has been kuoivu to kill a man more quickly than an fivt-rdoso of laudanum would have done. Pearson's Weekly. THE DRIN'K PLAQCB. Intemperance has a demon-like power to harm man. It is not limited to one place, nor to one class in society. It has shot throuih the hind its poison-bearing urrows. It holds in cities pompous courts, riots amid wild revelry in burgh au 1 village, broaks in with savage howis upon the quietness of ru ral homes.

It is of sufficient im portance to the News' rea lers to report it to them fully. It was so Important then that it attracted considerable attention at the time. The following Is the paragraph in question: "C. B. Northrop, f or 28 years one of thf IjeM known merchants on Woodward ave nue, who was supposed lo be dying last 'jirinir of locomotor ataxia, or creepinj rnr-jlysis, has "cul'e I a new lease: of llfn and returned to work at his store. Thediseas -Iibn always bee i silpj I to he Incurable, I ut Mr. Northrop's conditioti Is greatly bm proved, and it looks now as if the grave wctild be cheated of its prey." (Since that time Mr. Northrop has steadily improved, not only in loo'.a, hut in condition, till he has rezained his old-time strennth. It had been hinted to the Writer of thi article, who Was acquainted with Mr. Northrop, that this miraculous change had lieen wrought by a very simple rerttedv palled Dr. Williams' rink Pills for Pale Peo ple. When asked about it Mr. Northron fully verified the statement, an I not only so, but he had ta'en pains to inform any one ro was sulTerlna in a similar manner whin he heard of any Mich case. Mr. Northrop was enthusiastic at the result in his own cae of Dr. Williams' l'lnk Pills. It was a remedy ' int he had heard of after he had tried everything he could hope to give htm relief. He had been in the care of the best phvsicians who did all I hey could to alleviate this terrible malndy, but without any avail. He had given up hone, when a friend in liOckport, in. wrote him of the case of a person there who had been cured In similar circu'nstano -s by Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. The person cure! at Lockport had obtained his information respecting Dr. Willinmi' Pink Pills from an article published in the Hamilton, (Int., Times. The case was called "The Hamilton Miracle' and told the story of a man in that city who, nfter nlmost incredible sutfenni. was pro nounced lv the most eminent physicians to bp incurable and permanently disabled. He had spent hundreds of dollnrs in nil sorts of treatment and appliances only to be told in the end that there was no hope fur him, and that cure was Impossible. The person al luded to (Mr. John Marshall, ot :: tattle William St., Hamilton, Cut.,) was a mem ber of the Royal Templars of Temperance, and alter having been pronounceu perma nently disabled and incurable by the physt cians, was paitl the KKlOdisibility insurance provided by the or.ler for its mcmlers ill suchenses. For years Mr. Marshall had been ut terly helpless, aud was barely nblo to drag himseit arounii ms nouse witn tne am oi crutches. His agonies were almost unbear able and life was a burden to him, when at last relief came. Some months nfter he ha I been pnid the disability claim he heard of Dr. Williams' l ink Pills and was induced to try them. The result was miraculous: almost from the outset an improvement was noticed, nnd in a few months the man whom medical exprbi hnd Faid was incurable, was going nliout the citv henllhierand stroncertban before. Mr. Marshall was so well known in Hamilton that all the city newspapers wrote up his wonderful rccovt ry tn detail, nnd it was thu, as before stated, that Mr. Northrop enme into possci-sion of the information that led to his equally murvelous recovery .

Those who at that time saw a feeble old man wheeled into his store on an invalid's chair would not recosniie the man now, so great is the change that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have wrought.
