Wheat is a grain that tens liko and, in moderation, should have at all sea sons. In the wheat fields after harvest they naturally seek and live the greater part of their time picking up the loose wheat found about the stubble Hold.

A bit of wire netting or tarred paper wrapped carefully about the base of young fruit trees should give them good protection from mice and inbbits during the winter months, says a farm journal. A split tube or a flexible wooden covering might also answer. It does not pay to plant fruit tices, aud care for them during the season, only to have them destroyed in the winter from lack of care. Litter and weeds of any kind about the base of air uu protected tree or near by in the orchard, are simply a cordial invitation to the mice to come in and shelter themselves. Young fruit trees may be protected from girdling by rabbits by wrapping the trunk with straw, hay or cloth for ouo or two feet from the ground. Ficces of cornstalks, split in halves and tied around the tree, with the Bat side next the truuk, will keep the rabbils from eatiug the bark. Habbits girdle trees on clean grouud, and mice those on weedy land. Should a tree be girdled, heapiug earth around the fresh wound will sometimes save the tree. New York Voice. A POPULAR BREED OF SHEEP. The Dorset sheep has bec irue exceed ingly popular in the last two or three years. This popularity is due to its re markable fecundity and its habit of breeding at any time of the year, thin produciog lambs that may be sold at the holiday season, when all the luxuries of the table are in the greatest deuiaad. It is somewhat strange that this sheep has been so long neglected, but the low price of most farm products has been a spur to enterprise in this direction, and this useful sheep may now bo considered as fully naturalized on this siJu of the At lantic. This sheep is white-faced, in fact all white, and has a close, short flsece of four to five pounds and a tuft on the face. Its mutton is next to tho South down in general estimation, but the car cass is larger. The most valuable char acteristic, however, is the early breeding, taking the ram in the spring and rearing lamb in the fall, so as to be fat for market at Christmas, which is a special holiday in England, and more thought of, perhaps, than here. They breed again very soon after lambing, and thus produce two, and generally multiple, births within the year. The second lamb, however, is generally not pure bred, but a cross intended for mutton, and for this purpose the spring lamb is a cross commonly of tho Southdown, and it is sent to market as such, on account of the greater popularity of this black faced breed in English markets. There is unquestionably a wide place foi this valuable breed in America, where the sheep industry is not nearly so well de veloped as it should, be. New York Times. BALED BRUSH. The delights of au open tire arc denied many because of the scarcity of fuel. Bui thousands live where brush is abun dant. It may be quickly and cheaply prepared for use on the hearth by a home-made hand press, and its disap pearance would prove a blessing to many a community. Two strong horses must first be built. L'se plauk crossed like the letter X, and tirmly bolted together. Hollow the upper part so it will re semble a U rather than a V, and do not Lave it too fur from the ground. Stand up these horses six feet apnrt, and lino their upper hollows with heavy boards, placing one horse oue foot from the end of this trough and the other just at the opposite end. Or a log may be du out and firmly mounted. To the foot of the horse, flush with the end, bolt an up right board loosely, and attach to this a lever in such a way that it will come down closely over the cud of the trough. To bale brush lay it in the press aud bring down tho lever. While holding this with the knee, binl the bundle firmly with cheap tarred twiuc; then slip it aloug and repeat. Place the bands so the long roll tin be rut in lengths to pleate. To do to will bo easy, and these bundles will ba neit, pleasantto burn aud economical. Brush from trees cut this winter may be all prepared while greeu and pliable. Bitch, chestnut, maple and aider are con venient, as their branches are not scraggy. Corn and sunlluwer stalks and awalo hay may be utilized thus also. To add variety aud zest to the brilliance of the home hearth, bind a few evergreens. Boys imd girls, as well as those of mature ycurs, love to see tire. Who knows but it may help keep thum home and make them love the old farm better. Surely it will attract sji:ial neighbors who will contribute to the evening's piutit.- -New York Tribune. OR.UN FEKD Knit PASTURE COWS. Two summer' feeding ol grai'i to my summer milking c ows has convinced uiu, writes John Uuuld, of Oliiu, that grain doe pay, though fed in limited ijiiud tity. ll in, uo doubt, true tlmt one feather does not iniiWe it clear h-iiv fur ill puwvwwt could tlj', Uyr KeJiujj Of U dairy some grain one summer establish a rule cf profitable procedure for all dairymen, or all circumstances. Yet it is a fact that there aro thouands of dairies that would bo benefited by an increase of leed of some kind, where there are only scores that would not re spond to it because of surplus pasture feed, so nutritive in quality, that grain would not, in its concentrated form, add to the nutritive qualities of the ration. My own dairy has twolve cows that be came fresh during the autumn of 1891. From tho first of November, 1891, to tho first of November 1893, I sold at tho creamery, actual platform weights, 70,800 pounds of milk. Tueso cows have been fed grain of some kind daily for the last two years, but nt no time over five pounds a day. Again, this is not a home bred, ot home raised dairy, but one purchased out of Western droves of tall "sprmgors" on their way to New York. These cows, after being milked all winter, were turned on pasture May 9th, and a grain ration of a pound and a half of oat dust, costing five-oightbs of a cent, was fed to each cow daily, as long as she gave milk. There has been no month during summer up to September first, that this dairy of 'strippers" has not given over 6000 pounds of milk, though after May 10th one cow was pur posely dried off, and one went dry by reason of an accident, so that ten cows made up the summer dairy. After Sep tember 1st, it be?atne necessary to dry off those nearest to comiug in, so as to give them a month's rest, aud the new, or rather the fresh ones, kept up the flow. The question with me is, could I, having luxurious pasture feed, have kept these "strippers" in fairly full flow of milk during the sura ner, and right well up to the time of calving, without the tiso of a little grain? It must be under stood that these cows havo no known heredity behind them to give them long milking habits, for it is a saying that all drift cows have been sold for cause, so that it is either griin, or some other reason, that has induenced them to thus prolong their milking season, some of them a full year. Of course these cows were well kept last winter, but were fed the rather heterodox ration of silage and "se conds," of the latter five pounds daily, and possibly four pounds of hay at noon, while the care was still farther from orthodox, by their being kept in the stable continuously from Thanksgiv ing until Easter Sunday. After the first of October tho herd was fed a fair feed of sweet corn once a day, in addition to the summer pasture and the oat dust. The after feed is not turned into at any time. If it is fed at all, it is cut high with the mower, and fed at the barn. Six ot the cows, yet to freshen this sea son for next season's work, are giving an average mess of tea pounds each daily. Toe whole dairy is in the finest condi tion, which is an argument, along with the milk, that the judications are, that grain though in limited quantities, but uniformity fed, has paid one dairyman, at least, and confirms him in tho faith that graiu has an important part in bet tering the milking performance of a herd of graziug cows. American Agri culturist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Do not use a scrub bull this winter. The tender shelter of a wire fence is severe. Do not give tha shoats their exercise in the "front yard" or in the "door yard." Now is a good tiro? to burn a few ears of corn in the oven, shell and give to the poultry warm. Apple trees do not produce as nicely colored fruit on plowed land as those growing on grass laud. Oranges and other farmers' organiza tions ought to work hand in hand with the experiment stations. One of the principal advantages witb the incubator is in the early hatching that it is possible to secure. Hogs form an important part of the farm stock, and their breeding and man agement is an itn;ortant item. Growing a mass of fat in the shortest time possible is not all that is necessary to make a pig most profitable. The start that a pig gets in the first three months of its life has much to do with its thrift and future profit. Avoid extremes in fattening pigs; that is, secuie a fair proportion of lean rather than a mass of fat, as is often done. If your clover hay is dry aud dusty sprinkle with water. The place for clover is in the cow's stomach, not in her lungs. Two new and promising varieties of quinces, the Van Demauaud Santa liosa, are attracting the attention of horticul turists. Under no conditions should the pigs be allowed to bod on tho manure pile; they are liable to become mangy and have a dry, hacking cough. Unless the wheat screenings are above the average, or they can be secured at a very low price, they can hardly be as cheap a feed for poultry as many seem to think. When the weather is damp, especially, keeping the floors of the poultry quar ters liberally sprinkled with air slaked lime will aid in preventing 'oup from making a start. Professor Huberts, of Cornell Univer sity, fiuds by repeated experiments that sheep are the most valuable of domestic animals in keeping up the producing capacity of a farm. If you feed corn fodder dry run il through a cutting box, or brcai the butt ends of the stalks with a hatchet, other wise you will have much trouble iu bundling the manure. It is a well kuosvn fact that tho honey producer is supported by bis bees and the supply dealer is supported by thu producer, yet the supply men Uiuilly ucuupy thu Iront seals, Ouu reason why wuluju usually suc ceed well with poultry is because they ate null! considerate of the wants and necessities of fowls than men.

Strain jelly into jelly jars which have been thoroughly washoii in soap and water and have been standing in boiling water for half an hour. When the jelly ia cool pour over it a small quantity of melted paraffiue; let it harden; thou pour in more, for as thj first hardens it may crack or shrink from the sides and leave spaces where ferments may enter. In other words, the jars need to be made air tight not that the air does mischief, but because it contains the or ganisms which on entering the jelly cause by their growth the changes known as "souring." The object is to exclude all micro-organisms. This may be done in other ways than by the use of paraftine. Cut a piece of white paper just large enough to cover the jelly; soak in alcohol for five min utes, then fit it to the tumbler and pack over it a wad of storilizod cotton batting, letting it fill the mouth of the jar or tumbler like a stopper. This is an ef fectual means of preserving all Kiuds of fruit, as micro-organisms cannot go through the batting. Care must be taken, however, to have it thoroughly sterilized. This may easily be accomplished by making the wads of the required shape and size, and putting them on a tin plate in a hot oven for half an hour. Whoa putting the cotton into jars be careful not to touch the un der side of tho wad or allow it to touch anything until it is placed in the jar; each nay be wound with a piece of cloth to make it look neat, or a piecn of paper may be tied over it.

The number of deaths from the use of strong drink has been variously estimate 1 in the United States to bo from 0 ',000 to 100, WW a year. Dr. Normau Kerr, an eminent scientist of England, has for some fifteen years been pursu ng an inquiry into the intur in connection with several medical experts, and, accmllni? to their de-luetinnn, the latest estimate of deaths of adults annu ally caused by intemporence is: In Great Britain, 120,(00; in Franoe, 143,000, and in the United State S0.0U0, or nearly halt a milliou in an aggregate of ldO,OUO,oilvor peo ple.

Dr. Alfred Carpenter, commenting upon the use of brandy in the treatment of diph thera, sayt: "1 have frequently met with cases ot diphtheria which have been treated with brandy, either ai soon as exhaustiou supor vened, or from the very commencement of the disease. Most of these eases ended fa tally. 1 wish to suggest that this kind of treatment is raJieilly wrong. Home may have recovered to whom brandy has been freely administered; but they are few, and did to, in my opinion, in spits of the rem edy rather tnan iu consequence of it." Such testimony as this from the author ity of so eminent a physician and scieutist should sutBee to make it quite elear that not only is brandy not needed in the treatment of diphtheria, but that if administered it ia likely to les-en rather than to improve tha chances of recovery. Tenuwranca Ad vocate. BANOKROUS MEDICINES. Professor Virchow, the foremost medical authority of tha German Empire, has re peatedly urged mo leration in the use of drastic drus, and holds that some medi cines, so-called, have, on tho whole, done more mischief than good, and ought to be dropped from tho lint of remedial agents. It would be a good plan to begin with alcoholic drus. A single prescription of medicated brandy has in many cases led to the relapse of half-reformed drunkards and rekindled the flumes smottierei by years of heroic self-control. Tonic bitters havo also frequently initiated the alcohol habit, and the history of ail epi temics proves that the victims of strong stimulants are especially liable to the risk of contagion.

TBI DISEASE or DRINKING. The disease of drinking amoug women Is fully confirmed by the facts of heredity. Ia families of moderate and excessive drinking parents, tha girls rarely become inebriates, while the boys, as a rule, develop tha pa rents' maladies. Numerous instances like the following are within tbe common observation of every onei One or both parents may an wine on the table dally. Tbe father may us wine to excess, at intervals or continuously, and tho mother bo a nervous and neurotio woman. Tha boys will drink to news sooner or later, and the girls will bare a de fective nervous system, and turn to narcot ics for relief, using opium, chloral or other drugs. Tho children of these girls will derolop in ebrity aud similar diseases from tha slightest exposure. Alcoholism may appear in tho femalo side, but it will booaoeptionally.and naturally merge into drug-taking or other disease. It may appear in a paroxysmal form, and apparently start from irregular ities of life aud living, but It will always be found associated with nerve and brain de fect. 't he direct alooholio heredity running through tha male 11ns Is changed ant di verted in tha female aide. This heredity al ways loaves tho females with defective vital force and unstable brain vigor, also with weak power of control. Tho strain of tho reproductive po lod brings on central ex haustiou, with a strong tendency to organic disease. The female neurotio may use alco hol tor the exhilaration which it brings, but only until sbs diaouvors some other drag wita more pleasing effects. Tbe emancipation ot women from tbe slavery ot caste and iguorance, and iba steady upward movement in mental and physical development, will prevent any general increase of aioobohsm or inebriety. Psychological drink-waves may ojme end go, and tides ot degenerative immigrants may bring au increase of Inebriety for a brief time, but remedial forces will quickly neutra isca and readjust tho race marcj from tbe lower to the higher. Many causes wblon seemingly aro vary active In Europe, inoroaslug the number of female inebriates, writes Dr. T. D. Crothers in tbe .North American Review, do not exist here.

Among tho great discoveries of the year 18SI2 iu medicine and science will be recorded that of artificial quinino. Scientists have long sought to manufac ture artificial quinine so that the med ical profession need not depend upon the supply of the trees from which the drui; is obtained for their important ant -fever medicine. Doctors Urimaux and Vruatul, of Paris, have succeeded in obtaining an nrtilicial substance similar to rpiiuine iu its rlTccts, nnd the method of making it is given as follows : The base ruprcin contained in the shrub Keinijia edunciiiata found growing in Brimi is treated with sodium, and then the coiul in itiou thus obtained is treated with chlorido of methyl. The result of this combination is a drug that is iden tical with the substance which wc know as quinine. It has the same effect when given in fevers, and it will answer the samo purpose as tbe natural product when applied for other purposes than re ducing the timperature of patieuts. Tho result of this discovery which has long been onticipated will be the cheapening o' the drug, and the regulation of the prices during nil seasons. The dis covery, however, will lead to more iiu portant results in the way of enabling chemists to obtain analogous medicinis of great value. Yankee Blade.

Most persons who aro fmnllinr with it think of it as an ordinary Weed of small sine, and even so high an authority fls tha Encyclo prdia Britantiica rcfors to it as growing in "treeless valleys and slopes." It will astonish most persons to know that t sometimes grows to sticb proportions s to provide a section of country with trees of its own wood, producing groves of thick-trunked and comparatively tall trees, instead of mere weeds.
