UQUID MANURE FOR FLOWERING! PLANTS.
Flowers will be produced more freely
I the plants are regularly watered with
erne liquid manure. This nny be dono
nfely as follows: Bomo good manure
nixed with poultry droppings, or somo
irtlficlal fertilizer (nitrate ot soda is the
test), is put in a barrel and steeped in
water. The barrel should be kept full,
ind not more than two pounds of the
fertilizer or half a bushel of the manure
mould go to a barrel of water. A pint
Of this liquid is poured on the soil
iround the plant every evening during
the season. If ho weather is dry the
proportion of water should be doubled
ind a quart of the diluted liquid given.

SCALY LEO IN POOT.TB?.
The scaly leg is caused by tho prcs
' enco of a small insect that gets beneath
the scales, and it is therefore contagious,
but it spr.ads, as do all vermin, more
rapidly where proper care is not taken
to keep the roosts aud nests clean, and
where the manure is allowed to lie and
ferment under the roosts. To extermi
nate it, begin by bathing, the legs well
twice a day in olive oil, or still better in
a mixture of one quart of skimmed milk
and a teacupful of kerosone oil, wiping
dry after the bath. As good a way is to
put tho mixture in a dish and then force
the fowl to stand in it a few minutes.
While this treatmeut is going on they
should have dry quarters, and be kept
from running out in the wot grass, and
should be well fed. Tho nests and
roosts should bo blushed with kerosene,
and all filth taken out of the henhouse.
In a few days those scales will comu oil,
but care should be taken for a whilo to
prevent taking cold, lest it develop leg
weakness or rheumatism. A little of
the Douglass mixture in tho water will
be good for them at this timo. Boston

GOOD WALKS FOB TUB FAIUI.
Most farm premises are not adequate
ly provided with properly made walks.
The footpath from the front gate to the
house, and from the house to the barn
should be covered with some bettor ma
terial than dirt. In a section where flat
tones can be easily obtained they will
make the most economical and durable
walk. They need not be wide enough
to reach across tho walk, but may be
laid side by sido until the desired width
Is obtained. Cobble stone may be used.
In making a stone walk bank the earth
at least two inches above the level, and
press the stones firmly into this bank.
Round stones should be two inches or
less in diameter, and pounded down
with a sledge. It will be ditBcult to
keep the grass out of this walk unless
salt, or very strong brine, is frequently
Scattered over it. Gravel, whon easily
obtainable, makes a durablo and cheap
walk, and one that Is always dry. The
foundation should be excavated to the
depth of at least one loot, and tilled
cnvsinau or uroKen scone to wuuin six
" "T-tlS t0Pi tueI Ml too remain
gravel, making the top a little
g. The gravel should have been
asly freed from all earth by sift-
jr washing. Next to flat stone,
jk walks are the cheapest and best,
planks are laid lengthwise of the walk,
Jiej should be firmly spiked at tho euds
to pieces of some durable wood sunk in
the soil, and if such pieces aud the low
er sides of the planks are coated with
several applications of crude petroleum,
they will last much longer. Inch
boards may be used instead of plank.
The walk from the baru to the house is
the most important, as it is I mm this
. source that the most mud is tracked in
to the house. If dry walks are provided
the housewife will each year be saved
many hours of hard, disagreeable work
in cleaning the kitchen floor. Amoricun

PBKPArNQFOB THE FALL SEKDINO.
After the harvest is over and men and
teams have rested a few days, the oat
tubble and the second crop clover
ground, iutended for seeding early this
fall, should be turned over, writes F.
Sanderson of Baltimore, Md.
The laud mut be plowed in time so
, that the Btubble may rot, aud abo that
the soil may become settled and firm be
fore seeding. All practical farmers have
long since come to the conclusion tliut
the early plowed land kept mellow by
the free use of the harrow and roller,
but firm underneuth, yields the must
most grain and the best quality.
" In our limestone districts, notably iu
the Cumbeiland Valley, the corn laud is
mostly drilled to wheat. The corn ripens
early, some years as early as beptemuer
6th. It is cut oil by contract at $1.25
to 1.60 per acre, aud placed in shock.
sixteen corn rows making ouu row of
shocks, and these shocks are securely
tied. lUo corn ground is thoroughly
harrowed aud theu rolled. The wheal
Irill follows tho roller, putting iu lj
bushels of wheat aud 2 5 iJ pound of some
standard fertilizer per acre. This coru
ground wheat will produce from tweuty
to thirty bushels per acre, aud in tomu
exceptional ca.-ea as much as forty
. bushels per acre has been produced upon
DelUs ranging from thirty to titty uerei
iu exUmt.
But few of us have limestone land,
nor can we obtain such enormous yields.
Those of ui huviuir laud of i:ood quality
should commence right by having what
ground may be needed for either wheat
or ry plowed now, and have the furrows
uniform depth aud well turned over,
the sod may rut q.iiekly. In our sec-
l, which is of a clay loam level, or
gently undulating most all the plowing
is done by the sulky plow, using three
stout mules or horses to each plow. The
advantages thcio plows have over the
old hand plow is much more and hotter
work; the land is evenly turned over at
a uniform depth and no skips or missed
places loft. Tho plow being supported
on wheels is not so hard on the team,
nor on the plowman, who rides instoad
of walking, and having tho free use of
his hands, can manage his team much
better. Two such plows will turn over
with eao three acres per day.
After the plowing is thoroughly done the
next point is to have the soil made mel
low and free of lumps not only on the
surface, but some three or more inches
below tho surface. This fining of the
soil can only be done by first harrowing
with the three horse spring tooth har
row, followed by the rollor. This firms
the ground. In two weeks' time harrow
agaio, crossing tho field the second time,
and just before seeding harrow once
more, then roll, and follow with tho
drill, using one and a half bushels of
wheat and from 250 to 300 lbs. of dis
solved bone per acre. We always aim to
put in about twenty acres of wheat each
season after the above manner, and aim
to get it in by tho 20th of September,
and rarely fail of having an extra good
crop. We think the early plowing and
thorough preparation of the soil have
much to do with this abundant yield. I
write this so my brother farmers may
try this plan. New York Independent.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
The eSect of warm weather is found
in the egg basket.
Do not frighten the hens, as It dimin
ishes the egg supply.
The largest kind of matured corn is
the best to convert Into ensilage
In arranging the poultry house have
both the nests and the roosts low.
One of the worst mistakes that poultry
beginners can make is too close ia-breeding.
In nearly all cases the fowls can be
fattened on soft food faster than on hard
grain.
When tho poultry are conSned a por
tion of the run should bo spadod up
daily.
With all kinds of poultry it is the
morning meal that is the most important;
give it early.
One of the best ways of fattening
geese rapidly is to feed tuetn boiled oats
with plenty of milk.
A good way to break a hen of wanting
to set is to put her in a strange yard
with a young cockerel.
A cow should be fed all tho clover she
can oat, which will be ia the neighbor
hood of fivo pounds per day.
Select tho turkey hens wanted for
breeding. The hens should not be kept
after they are three years old.
Now is the time when the fowls relish
green food. Give them plenty of it tad
less grain rations especially corn.
Care should be taken that the fowls do
not lay on too much fat. Be careful in
feeding, and there will be no danger.
When the feeding is done at regular
hours the fowls soon get accustomed to
it, and will know whon the time comes.
Many consider that boiling the milk
before feeding it to the poultry increases
its value and lessens the risk of disease.
The fowls losing their feathers is
often caused by want of green food or of
a dust bath. See that both aro supplied.
Ono reason why there is such a large
amount of poor butter is that the cream
is allowed to stand too long before it is
churned.
In feeding a considerable saving
might be made if the keeper would re
member that what makes fat does not
make eggs.
Old stock of any kind is unprofitable.
Every season enough young poultry
should be selected from what is raised
to take the place of the old.
The farm fowl should be of a good
size, a good table fowl, good layer, con
stitutionally strong and well adapted to
stand the rough usage of the farm.
No cow was ever a good dairy cow
that was not bora so, but thousauds of
cows that were born so have beeu
spoiled by poor and unwise handling.
A thrifty tree that fails to bear should
be root-pruned. A trench dug about it,
and tilled partly with rubbish, will ellect
important and profitable changes for the
hotter. Hoot-pruning checks growth
and develops fruit buds. It is an old
remedy, but not as often resorted to as
it should be.
As the wheat and other small grain
ripens, their sap dries, cutting oil the
food supply of tho chinch bugs, which
thereupon often migrate to the juicy
stalks of the cornfield. This migration
can be prevented by plowing a strip
tome rods wide between the small grain
and the earn, as the chinch bugs an
loth to cross land devoid of vegetation.
Farm stock is often kept too long foi
profit. Sheep decline very rapidly aftei
six years old, and are best sold at five.
Cows muy retain their usefulness until
twelve. Cattle and sheep are sold foi
meat, but with horses it is different. A
horse that has been a good and faithful
servant for mauy years is often kept un
til he dies, which is better than selling
him for a 'mere pittance, to be abused
the remainder of his life. A good rule
to follow is to dispose of furm stock at
or previous to their prime of lifo.
Trained Hindu Bullocks.
The Hindus have fouud mcaniot com
luuuicating their great dexterity to do
mestic auimals. They train bullocks to
perform very difficult tasks. A Hindu
juggler will lie down on his back aud
place a small piece of stout wood, two
feet high and six inches in diameter, on
the lower part of his stomach. At hit
command a trained bullock will set iti
four feet on the top of this stick and
balance itself. The juggler will thei
place another piece of wood, similar to
the first, a few inches from it, and thi
bullock will shift its position to it with
out touching its feet to the ground

A DELICIOUS PIE.
"There was to be company to dinner,"
says a writer in tho Housekeeper's
Weekly. 'I was making pies and
wanted something better than or a littlo
different from the ordinary rhubard pics
of which we had had so many. Acting
on the impulse I lined a deep plate with
rich paste (it must be rich for all acid
pics, as it toughens iu conking), I rubbed
the crust with flour and put a layer of
dates, stoned and cut in pieces, ten or
twelve to an ordinary sized pie. I then
filled the pinto with pulled and sliced
rhubarb, adding a trifle of salt and threo
heaping tablespoonfuls of sugar mixed
with one spoonful of flour. A top crust
was added and the pie looked as usual.
It was simply delicious- and the flavor
was so unique. Every ono praised it

MARROW TOAST.
Marrow toast is a delicious and inex
pensive relish for tea or luncheon. Buy

dish a teaspoonful of chopped parsley,
the same quantity of lemon juice, half a
teaspoonful of salt, a gruin of cayenne,
and several drops of onion juice. Also
have in the oven several squares of toast,
crisp and browned evenly. Cook the
marrow rapidly ninety seconds, boiling
it in a quart of saltod water. Dram the
marrow thoroughly and mix it with the
seasoning in the hot dish. Spread oa
the toast und serve. Toast, marrow,

STARTLING FACTS.
Dr, B. W. Richardson, the noted phy
sican. says that he was once enabled to
preach an effectual temperance lecture by
means of a scientifto experiments An
acquaintance- was singing tbe praises of
wiue, and declared that he could not get
throueh the day without it.
"Will you be good enough to feel my
pulse, as 1 stand here?' asked Doctor
Richardson.
The man did so.
"Count it carefully. What does it say f"
'"Seventy-four." "
The physician then went and laid down
en a sofa, and asked the gentleman to count
his pulse again.
"It has gone down to sixty-four," he said,
in astonishment. "What an extraordinary
thing!"
"When you lie down at night," said tha
physician, "that is the way nature takes to
give your heart rest. You may know noth
ing about it, but the organ is resting to that
extent; and if you reckon the rate, it in
volves a good rieal of rest, because, in lying
down, the heart is doing ten strokes less a
minute.
"Multiply that by sixty, and it is six hun
dred; multiply it by eight hours and, within
a fraction, there is a difference of five thou
sand strokes; and as the heart is throwing
six ounces of blooi at every stroke, it
makes a difference of thirty thousand ounces
ot life during tbe night; When i lie down
at night without any alcohol, that ia the
rest my heart gets.
"But when I take wine or grog, I do not
allow that rest, for the influence of alcohol
is to increase the number of strokes. Instead
of getting repose, the man who uses alcohol
put on something like fifteen thousand extra
strokes, and he rises quite unlit for the next
day's work, until he has takon a little mora
of that 'ruddy bumper,' which be calls 'tnt

A DARING ADVENTURER.
Captain William A4 Andrews, already
famous for his daring adventure In small
boats on tbe stormy Atjantlo, has again set
sail on a novel and interesting voyage.
He crossed the ocean twice before, first In
the "Nautilus," when he was accompanied
by bis brother, who has sinew died, and
again In tha "Mermaid," both of these trips
being mad to Land's End, England. A
few years ago ba again attempted the pas-
sage in a boat called the "Dark Secret,"
but, after battling with contrary winds,
high seas and terrific storms, he reluctantly
consented to give up his efforts after a
struggle of sixty-two days, and returned to
America on a bark which kindly consented
to take him and his sea-beaten boat baok to
New York.
The captain is a very Interesting charac
ter. He is a man of fixed purposes, very
hard to turn from the ohj-ct be has in view.
He has made the subject of small boat sail
ing such a study that he is prepared to
meet every argument against tha risks
which spring to the minds of his critics, yet
the New York Herald put the case in a nut
shell when it said: "The fact that Capt.
Andrews can cross the ocean In a oookle
shell merely proves that small boats are safe
when a Capt. Andrews sails them. Ama
teurs should remember this when tha wind
begins to sing."
The Captain himself says that "half the
people who ar drowned lose their lives be
cause they do not realize that a boat cannot
sink . An iron vessel might, or a ship loaded
with a heavy cargo, but a row boat, sail
boat or ordinary woo Ion vessel may capsize,
but will, nevertheless, flo it. The passengers
on the great ocean steamers run some risk
when they go to sea, but ail around the deck
they see wooden floats hung up on which
they are taught to depend for their lives it
the big steamer goes down. These boats
are often crushed against the great vessel or
are capsized in lowering. I am alone in a
wooden boat entirely under my own con
trol, an I, in my opinion, far safer than
others." An ingenious theory but hardly a
fair one.
Capt. Andrews is by trade a pianofTMoU,
He built the "Sapolio" at Atlantio City in
the preseucj of hundre Is of people, ani ex
hibited it on the Long Pier for several
weeks. It is a canvas folding boat lined
with half inch cedar and decked over with
tbe same. In order t fold it there must be
three long canvas hinges from stem to stern,
aud the daring Captain writes by au incom
ing ship (when he is hundreds of miles from
shore) that he finds the " 'Sapolio' in a sea
way is a scrubber but very leaky." No bet
ter proof of his coolness and pluck could be
given.
The start was made at 4: JO Wednesday,
July iiJth, the destination being Paloa,
Spain. Captain Andrews has instru 'Hons
to s.'our the seas until he discovers that port
ami the starting point of Columbus. It is
believed t lint, stillng iu a fourteen foot boat
without so mueii as a hot cup ot coffee to
vary his diet of biscuits and caiina l goods,
he will, sin ;l-uan lei, eclipse tha record of
that Sp inis i lt ili iu adventurer who almost
failel to cross tha great ooan with three
ships, 15) men, after sucuriug tbe Queen's
jewels to pawn and havinr the blessin; of
the Church thrown in. Thi Columbus is
sailing in a b.iat which had never been in
the water until th) hour when he started
on his 4000 mile trip. Hs has bsea spoken
iu mid-wean several tines, scorning all
assistance and confident of ultimate success.
His effort should interest all Americans as
a test of pluck, endurance and good sea
manship. That it is not a foolhardy affair
Is proved by his formsr success aul by the
notable trip in which hebittlxlfor slxtv
two days without reaming tha other si le.
Thousands of people saw the start, his
presence at dilferent points on the oosan
has been noted by large numbers ot vessels,
and bis landing on the ether side will ao
doubt be ma le a matter ot public demon
stration aud rejoicing. As he silled from
the pier he said, "In sixty days I will be in
Spain," and up to the last reports ha had
made bettor time thin he anticipated.
Every dar during the voyage a bottle will

The English woman's morning "tub"
is, us every one knows, a plunge in cold
or slightly warm water aud a vigorous
rubbing down after it, which gives bur
skin the brilliancy of white ivory and ths
smoothness of velvet, and which gives
her, too, the blush tints in youth that
blossom out later in life, alasl to full
blown roses of crimson hue. The bath
which gives the almond-eyed doll woman
of Japan her exquisits softness and sup
pleness of skin is a nightly bath and
morning wash in water Unit is as hot as
can be borne. In tho bath she takes a
prolonged soaking, tha washing propel
being done on the bathroom floor, fol
lowed by a second and final soaking,
drying oil with soft towels and a lounga
in a bath wrapper. Tbe poorest hear of
the cold bath with amazement and a

Valuable Old Floor.
The smelting and refining of the floors
of the factory of a watch company's es
tablishment, on Bond street, near Broad
way, was completed the other day and
proved to be one of the largest contracts
of the kind ever undertaken in America.
When the watch company decided
last spring to abandon case making the
proprietors agreed with the reflnors to
have the floors of the building on Bond
street, where thry had been for nineteen
years, worked up for the precious metals
they might contain, and contracted the
job on a percentage of the value of the
gold and silver reclaimed.
The contractors took up three floors
and part of another, cut the boards into
lengths that would admit of their being
easily handled, and carted them off to
their works. litre the boards were
burned and the ashes subjected to the
process of refining. Altogether about
60,000 square feet of lumber was des
troyed, and after deducting the amount
due them on the contract, Messrs. G'r
leux & Woolsey turned over to the U i
company more than $66,000 worth ot
gold and silver. Now York Mail aud

Flower"
" I am ready to testify under oath
that if it had not been for August
Flower I should have died before
his. Eight years ago I was taken
sick, and suffered as no one but
a dyspeptic can. I employed three
of our best doctors and received
no benefit. They told me that I had
heart, kidney, and liver trouble.
Everything I ate distressed me so
that I had to throw it up. Augus'
Flower cured me. There is no med
icine equal to it." Lorenzo F.
