TRRATMRNT OK TOMATO PLANT.
The succulent vegetable, the tomato
once despised U now the subject of
great attention. The following is good
advice in the treatment of the plant: Set
out plants when six inches high and hill
up well until the height of a foot is
reached. Train the branches apart.
Throw around tho plant wood ahcs
which will at once act as a fertilizer and
.1 poison to bugs and disease. The roots
will be th'own out by the hilling process
and growth forced. The hill acts as a
good bed for the fru't to rest on and
prevents rot. American Agriculturist.
ROTATION IN TI1R OARDRN.
It is a good thing in the cultivation of
garden Dot to grow the same vegetables
or planta jear after year on the same spot,
nor even two years in succession on the
same. It is liable to generate disease
and to exhaust that portion of the soil in
which the plant feeds or to remove the
peculiar elements which it needs. Hoots,
deep-feeding and shallow-feeding plants
should succeed each other. A strict
system of rotation is always safest.
Where a mixed lot of vegetables is
grown, the same ground may be worked
for an almost indefinite length of time
by changing the location of each kind
from year to year. Where cabbages,
cauliflowers, radishes, turnips or other
members of this same family were grown
last year plant tomatoes, egg plant, pep
pers, etc., this year, and sweet corn or
vines next, and so ou. Cbicvgo Times.
MZK AND WEIGHT OF JACKS.
Jacks Viiry in size and weight con
siderably. A medium size is 14 hand',
an! 800 pounds; the largest are 16 hands
and upward, and 12 '0 to 1300 pound t.
A jack recently sold in Kentucky for
$1300, was lt J hnnds.and weighed 1250
pounds. The measurements of this ani
mal were: 121 J inches from the nose to
the root of tail, 33j inches from tip to
tip of ears, head 34 inches, girth 6l,
knee to ankle 12, around arms 26, and
around stide 33 iuches. This is not so
large as one sold previously for $3250.
The American jacks surpass those of any
other country in all respects, but tho
French and Spanish blood has been used
liberally in their improvement. Toe
best of these animals are reared in Ken
tucky and Tennessee. Ordinary mules
sell in those States for $100 to $250 per
head', according to size. New York
Times.
now TO MKB A HOT BED.
Where the former or gardener is too
far removed from business centers to buy
plants cheaply of the seedsmen, a hot
bed wilt be found convenient for starting
many kinds of plants. The first step tc
be taken is ge'.ting ready the manure
with which to supply the required bot
tom heat. Fresh horse manure mixed
thoroughly with ouc-third to one-half its
bulk of leaves, or straw used for bed
ding, or other manure that has been
heuteil once, are the materials preferred.
As soon as tbif compost begins to fer
ment turn it again and let remain until
signs appear of a second fermentation.
Make an excavation about two and
one-half feet deep and of a size to suit
the sash on hand or number of planta re
quited. Locate this pit in a dry spot,
facing south or east. One sash will gen
erally give early plants . enough for a
large family. The frame for the sash or
sashes may be made ot boards nailed to
small posts at the corners. This frame
ought to be about eighteen inches high
at the buck and twelve inches in front,
to give the proper slope to catch the
sunlight. To facilitate the opeuing ami
shutting of the frame, cross-pieces should
be planed fur the sash to slide on.
When all is ready tread the manure
down firm.y in the pit, to the dopth of
two and a half feet; put on the sash and
keep the pit ciocd until the heat rises.
In two or three days spread on top toil
to a depth of six or eight inches. In
tbia seed may be sown in drills, two or
three inches apart, for early tomatoes,
egg-plant, cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce,
pepper, etc. New York World.
RAISING DCCKg FOR MARKRT.
When a pound of duck can be pro i need
for six cents and sold for thirty-live cents
or more early in the season, there is
money in the business, especially as the
eggs not needed for batching usually sell
well at the same price aa hens' eg,8.
Tbe duck usually lays about 150 eggs in
a year. Those who desirt to raise duck
lings for market prefer tbe Pckin, as
they can be Liade to grow uioru rapidly
than any other and are thought to be
gin laying a little earlier. They are not
a. large as some others, the drake weigh
ing eight pounds according to the stand
ard, which requires the tame for the
Cayuga, nine pounds for the Houen and
Aylesbury, and ten pounds for the Mus
covy, which, by the way, is not a duck,
at the offspring of a cross between it and
othei ducks are infertile like the mule
and other hybrids. The duck should be
one pound lighter than tbe drake. Most
of those who breed ducklings for market
butch them in tbe incubator, lu order to
get them early enough to bring the high
prices, and then bring them up iu the
brooder. It is claimed that a larger
percentage of ducks' eggs than of hens'
rggB will batch in the incubator, and
there it but little mortality among them
if they bave proper care. Among the
requirements are toft food, and a plenty
of water to drink and rinse tbeir bills in,
but it is not necasMiry that they should
have it to swim in. They breathe through
their nostrils, which sliould never be al
lowed to clog up. They like a variety
of food, and eat up auything that a hen
u ill, aud mu ll more of it, and must have
all they will eat fro n the tirat to mike
livm ready lor ftutrkct earl. With
green food regularly every day, and
scalded meal with plonty of moat scraps
stirred in they grow fast. The yards
should be kept as clean as possible, and
the pens for both young and old ducks
should be in a dry place, and with a
board floor and plcuty of sttaw or other
litter, as damp ground, or being out in
a old stvrm or a heavy shower, will
quickly kill young ducklings, at least
until well feathered. They should not
be given very cold water to drink, as it
causes cramps, which are sometimes
fatal. They need larger yards or a
more frequent change of lor t ion than
chickens, as filth soon kills them, and,
in fsct, they should not be crowdod in
their brooders' pens or yards. Boston

FARM AND GAKDKN KOTRS.
Don't starve tho soil or the stock.
Pigs in the clover is a farm game.
Feeding skimpingly is throwing money
away.
Tho secret of good service is to keep
the horses in a healthy, thriving con
dition. The eggplant may be successfully
grown without a hotbed by any ouo who
will take pains to learn its habits.
Oatmeal is one of tho very best fee Is
that can bo supplied to very young poul
try; pin hei l oatmeal is the best.
It pays to food the young fowls liber
alh, as once stuuted they will never re
gain their vigor, no matter how well fed.
Cornm?al and wheat bran made into a
mush with milk is a good feed for duck
lings, much better than cornmeal alone.
It would be as unreasonable to expect
a field of rag weeds to produce fine wool
as for a field of weeds to produce golden
butter.
Don't cool off tho stables before milk
ing. It makes the cows hold up tbeir
milk, and frequently they become fretful
and kick.
The most difficult thing to teach a c lt
is to back up. It is not natural for him,
and if be appears a little stubborn don't
yauk him.
It is a mistake to thiuk that horses at
light work can be kept eutirely on hay.
Such horses soon fall off in flesh and do
not thrive.
If sheep raisers h-vo followed the ad
vice given in these columns, the ol 1
ewes are all fat now and can be sold for
a fine price.
Study and pi mi or the coming season's
work to that when it is here you will be
ready to be up and at it, and know what
you want to do.
Sheep are used in Northwestern India
as a beast of burden. They are sure
footed, and carry a burden of fifteen to
twenty pounds each.
Manage to use your horses a little
every day during the winter. Steady
everyday work tends to keep them sound
and in good health.
Even when the eggs are set under a
hen it will be best to eivniue them af
ter the sixth or seventh day and takeout
all that are infertile.
Wood ashes, besides setting free the
ammonia of the droppings, bloahes the
shanks of the fowls and should not be
emptied in the poultry house.
If eggs are sent some distance it will
be best to unpack carefully and lay in a
bread basket for twenty-four hours be
fore putting them under a hen.
In the economical management of
poultry it is as much of an item to know
how to feed them as it U with any other
kind of stock kept on the farm.
A good way to give the young poultry
a good start is to keep them free from
vermin aud feed then liberally; much
depends upon the start they get.
Don't forget tbe bran mash occasion
ally. This and a few roots and apples
will do more toward keeping a borse in
condition than increase of grain when he
is getting a fair allowance.
A speaker at a recent horticultural
meeting reported by the Nebiaska Far
mer, advised planting eicU v.irioty of
apple in the same row or rows "to facili
tate spraying, as the the different torts
do not all blossom at the tame time."
Tbe parsnip endures the cold without
injury. Some varieties that root alto
gether below the ground may be left
where they grow all winter. The part
above tho surface will turn toft after re
peated freezing and thawing, but the
bulk of the root will be sweeter and
richer than if gathered and put In cellar
befoie frost came.
In many countries of Europe turnip
tops are very much relished in spring,
ferved up with potatoes and bacon.
Kveu in our Southern States they bring a
higher price than cabbages. The seadj
are thickly sowu in the fall, the turnips
remain in the ground all winter, aud
early in the spring when the tops begin
to grow they are cut for use.

Tlie members ol the Twilight Club met at
the Sr. Deni Hotel in New York recently
for their iilOtli semi-monthly dinner and de
late on some suhj vt of tha times. The
theme for disrusMon was "The Drinking
Habit." Dr. T. I). Prouthers, physician of
th Home for Inebriates at Hartford, was
the principal speaker. He held that drunk
enness was aMisease,;and that this was proved
by iu gradual growth in individuals. As a
disease, it must 1h treated by scientific
means to effect any cure, and the most Im
portant thin to be asc?rtaiiied in treating
the drink hatut was to find the eans.'t which
first in luce I a man to drink to excess, and
then by removing these a cure might be ac
complished. Clark Bell advocated a law which- should
rut drunkards on the sime legal basis as the
insnne, aud provido for their confinement
with a view to curing them.
A. Willis Ughtbourne, speaking from a
newspaper man's point of view, said that
drunkeuness wat often caused by overwork,
the effort to accomplish almost impossible
task. in.a short time, and by anxiety. Let
theso cans s b re.noved an I a cure was pos
sible. Tho other speakers ad agreed that
di unkennels was a Misease.

daiifier to health from their use bo
.avoided ?
Generally, alum powders may be known
jfrom the price at which they are sold,
or Irom the fact that they are accom
panied by a gift, arc disposed of tinder
some scheme. Tbe alum powder costs
but a few cents a pound to mske, and is
often sold at 20 or 25 cents a pound.
If some present is given with it, the
price may be .'10, 40 or 60 cents a pound.
It is impossible to name all tho alum
powders in the n arket, but any baking
powder sold at a low price, or adver
tized as costing only half at much at
crtam of tnrtar powders, accompanied by
a present, or disposed of under any
(chemc, it of this class, detrimental to
health, and to be avoided.
Hut tbe easy, safe, and certain protec
tion of our bread, biscuit and cake from
all danger of unwholesomenest it in the
use of the Hoyal linking Powder only.
This powder is mentioned because of the
innumerable reports in its favor by high
medical authorities, by the U. S. Gov
ernment, and by the official chemists aud
Hoards of Heultb, which leave no doubt
as to its entire freedom from alum, lime
and ammonin, its absolute purity and
wholesomencss. While its uso it thus a
safegunrd against the poisonous alum
powdeia it is satisfactory at tho sarao
time to know that it makes the whitest,
lightest, sweetest and most delicious
food, which will keep moist and fresh
longer, and that can be eaten with im
munity hot or cold, stale or fresh, and
also that owing to its greater strength it
is more economical than others.
These facts should incline consumers to
turn a deaf car to all importunities to
buy the inferior powder. If a grocer
urges tbe sale of the cheap, impure, alum
brands, it should be heme Id mind that it
is because he cau make more profit on
them. Tbe wise housekeeper will decline
in all cases to take them.

Pewfall of a Tear.
flirlctly speaking, dew does not "fall,"
It is always formed upon the substance
upon which it is found, and cannot, In
any sense of the word, be said to "fall"
from the atmosphere as rain and mow
do.
Dew ft a great respecter of colors.
To prove this take pieces of glass or
boards and paint them red, yellow,
green and black. Expose them at night
and you will find that the yollow will be
covored with moisture; that the green
will bo damp, but that tho rod ami the
black will be left perfectly dry I On an
area of land equal to the size of the
State of Missouri the amount of "dew
fall" per annum would be 10,156,219,
322 tons, counting the ton of 252 im
perial gallons. St. Louis Kopublic.

ing a severe cold. Listen to it. "In,
the Spring of i8S3, through ex

night sweats, and all and left me
