IUNKINO TTP TREES.
In rnisinc tho level of ground by fillinz,
the question oftoa arises whether trees
which aro thus covered to a considerable
height around the trunk will bo killed
or not, Tho Country Gentlemm says
that trees which have greeu and lender
bark may bo killed by banking up the
earth around them, if the soil is of
eucli a character as to hold water for
some timo wherever it is drenched by
rain; but older trees, with stiff and dry
nod thick bark, and with tho soil about
thorn sufficiently dry and porous to
allow tho water to drain away soon, will
not bo injured. Trees which havo a
coarso-furrowed bark will favor thr,
drainngo better than those with smooth
bark. "
GILT EDGE BUTTER.
Tho farmer who has good dairy cows
and tho modern improved dairy ap
pliances makes the gilt edgo butter that
private customers liko to pay fancy prisos
for. Tho factory takes milk or cream
from Inre herds of cows milked in
Clthy stables, and it is impossible to
make gilt cdjo butter from such cream.
The improved appliances make homo
dairying pleasant and profitable. Tho
power for churning is furnished by a
good big calf or steam. Tho milk is
cooled and tho cream may be separated
ks fast as milked and the sweet milk
better utilized. AVtth all these ad

VALUE OF AFFLE FOMACE.
The value of Upple pomace for feeding
cattle such that it should not be waited

It is ,ns agreeable to the live stock, al

CHARACTERISTICS OP SHEEP. ;.
Individuality in sheep is very distinctly
marked. There are good ones and bad
ones, quiet ones, and nervous, fidgety
ones, some that are always at the front,
and others that are always at the . hind
end of the flock tagging along. There
4ire family traits of individual merit and
uemerit. By keeping a flock register it
was found there weie ewes that never
raised their lambs with any uniformity,
if not from one cause, then another was
sure to take them off. Another family
were apt to bring thin, weak lambs, but
i hey were always willing to live, and
tome attention would bring to healthy,
vigorous sheephood. Still another fam
ily would bring great big, lusty-looking
lambs that seemed bum to die, and dis
appoint all reasonable expectations.
Twins are characteristic of some fam
ilies. There is also family resemblances
by which an expert lhepburd may readily
identify families aud members of fam
ilies. Colonel Mark Cockrell, of Ten
nessee, one of the most careful shephards,
:ould lick up an abandoned lamb and
iu entity its mother by tho hiiub.
Some sheep aro strong in their" likes
inu dislikes, ami will oiten display a
pood deal of cunning to carry a point,
t'ome aro voracious caters, and others
just the oppoiste. Tho individual char
acteristic incidental with breeds aud va

TWO-TRAR-OM) HUMS FOR BREEDERS.
There is no doubt but two-year-old
bens are preferable to yearling pullets for
breeding purposes, as tho oggs ot thl
hens are larger. Tho chicks coming
from hens' eggs are likely to be stronger
and more apt to live. But hens two or
three years old will not lay so groat a
number of eggs as will pullets in the first
twelve months after they commence to
lay. If, howevet, one has a choice lot
of well developed pullets and matd with
a vigorous two-year-old cock, do not fear
to set the eggs from them, but do not
use the earliest litters, as they aro not
likely to give you as strong chicks at the
Intor ones.
Tho best laying hens, all things con
sidered, are those one year old fowls
that wero hatched tho previous season in
March or April consequently tho best
plan for all fowl breeders is to raise
chickens every season to be tho layers of
the next year, and to kill the old stock
regularly every fall before moulting or
as soon as they cease to lay.
Among our foremost breeders the mat
ing of vigorous twelve months' old pul
lets to a good cock in his full second
year has given as good chicks on the
average as tho mating of two-year-old
hens to a jotirnr cock. Ono thing that
may be depended on as a rulo, the most
reliable breeding birds that can bo mated
together as to ago aro thoso of one sex
or the other that are a year tho oldest.
It is only through repeated experiments
that the breeder can be able to solcct the
best pointed and flnest specimens for
mating, and when this is accomplished
the most satisfactory results will gen
erally follow. Connecticut Farmer.
CORN ASD MILLET COMPARED.
Experiments have been made at the
Massachusetts Hatch Station for the pur
pose of comparing corn and millet as
grain crops on the basis of the yield.
Further experiments are in progress to
compare meal from millet socd and from
corn as food for milch cows.
For the present it is simply desired to
call attention to the fact that the millet
has enormous cropping capacity. It
gave to the half acre 37.2 bushels of seed
weighing 47 pounds to the bushel, white
the corn gave 30.8 bushels of shell grain.
The millet straw weighed 2.191 pounds;
tho corn stover (by no means as dry),
2. 100 pounds. The millet straw, chopped,
crushed, moistened and sprinkled with
meal is readily eaten by both horse and
cattle, but it does not appear to be equal
to the corn stover in feeding value. '
The millet toed, as shown by the re
mits of foreign analysis, appears to re
semble oata.very closely in composition..
So far as they have had experience in
feeding it at the-station, the meal from
it appears to equal corn meal in feeding
value for milk production. The fertil
izers were the same for the two crops,'
but the labor cost considerably more for
the millet than for tho corn. The crop,
however, was cultivated in drifts and
hand hoed and weeded, while in ordin
ary farm practice it would be possible to
secure good crops by sowing broadcast
without cultivation and thus bring the
labor cost per acre as low as for. corn j
It does not thresh easily by hand-,, but on
a large scale the work could doubtless be
done by machine at a much lower coat;
The seed was sown in drlllf fourteen
inches apart, at the rate . of about two
quarts per acre. It was planted May 14,

THR DRUNKARD'S END.
One beautiful afternoon in August there
camo to me the heart-broken wife of a State
prison convict. We tried to plan for his
pinion an I restoration to noma and the
world. It was a very sad cae. He was the
only surviving son of a very noblo man
one who lived only to serve the poor, tho
tempted, and the criminal. All he hail, all
he was he gave unreservedly to help thieves
and drunkards. His house was their home.
His name their bail to save them from pris

their bail, forfeited by neglect to show them

Bred under such a roof, the son started In
life with a generous heart, noble dreams, aud
high purpose. Ten years of prohferity,
fairly earned by energy, industry, and char
acter, elided in a bankruptcy, as is often the
case in our risky and changing trade; then
came a struggle lor business, for bread
temptation despair intemeriince. He
could not safely pass the open doors that
tempted him to indulgence, forgetfulness,
and crime. How hard his wife wrought and
struggled to save him from indulgeiice, and
then to shield him from exposure! " How long
wife, and sister, an 1 friends labored to avert
conviction and the State prison!
"I would spare him gldly," wrote the
prosecuting attorney, "if he Would stop
drinking. He shall never go to prison if he
will be a sober man. But all this wretched
r.evs and crime came from rum."
.uuutully did the young man striizele to
resist tue appetite. A rain and again did he
promise, aud keep his promise perhaps a
month, then full. He could not walk the
streets aud earn his bread soberly while so
many open doors opened by men who sought
to coin gold out of their neighbor's vices
lured him to indulgence. Bo, rightfully, the
Slate pressed on, aud he went to prison. An
honoreJ name disgraced, a loving home
broken up, a wide circle of kindred sorely
Sained, a worthy, well-meaning man wrecked,
orrow.and crime "all come from rum," said
the keen-sighted lawyer.
As 1 parted from the Sid wife on my door
step I looked beyond, aud close by tho laugh
id sea stood a handsome cjttage. The
grounds were laid out expensively and with
great taste. Over the hroad piaz hung
laiily an Eastern hauimook, while all around
.jre richly painted chairs and lonnges of
every easy and temptiuj form. Overhead
were quaint vases of beautiful tlowers, and
the delicious lawu was border! with them.
On the lawn itselt gaily dressed women
laujhed merrily over croquet, aud noisy
children played near. A span of supero
horses pawed the earth impatiently at the
gate while gay talutations passed between
the croquet players and the fashionable equi
pages that roiled by. It was a couifortaule
home as well as luxuricus one. Nature,
taste and wealth had done their best. It
was a scene of beauty, comfort, taste, lux
ury and wealth. All came from ruin. HiIks
aud diamonds, flowers, aud equipage, stately
roof and costly attendance, all came from
rum. The ownor was one who in a great
city coined his gold out of the vices of his
fellowuien.
To me it was a dissolving view. I lost
sight of the gay women, the frolicsome
children, the impatient horses, and the
ocean rolling up to the lawn. I saw instead
the pale convict in his cell twelve feet by
nine, the sal wife going from judge to at
torney, from court to Governor's Council,
begging mercy for her overtempted bus
band. I heard above the children's noisj,
the croquet, laugh, and the Burf waves, that
lawyer's stern reason for exacting the full
penalty of the law. All this comes from
rum.

Ask your doctor what hap
pens to cod-liver oil when it
gets inside of you.
He will say it is shaken
and broken up into tiny
drops, becomes an emulsion ;
there are other changes, but
this is the first.
He will tell you also that
it is economy to take the oil
broken up, as it is in Scott's
Emulsion, rather than bur
den yourself with this work.
You skip the taste too.

me a new lease of life, which before
was a burden. Its good qualities
and wonderful merits should be mada
