LAST DATS AT PAHTURB.
It Is difficult to maintain in vigor
ous CTOW til a liautlirfl turf OAnea
cropping in the dry, hot weather has
something to do with this, as also has
the cropping which many pastures got
lute in the fall, which does not nllnw
them opportunity to oover tho roots
wnu an aitermatu that would protect
these roots from the cold and sudden
chances of winter. Hut it in airi.lant
that no small part of this difficulty in
maintaining a good turf on pasture
lauds arises from the ill-treatment
many pastures receive from the too
early turning of stock abroad upon
them in spring before the ground
becomes well settled. American Agri
culturist. WATERING PLANTS.
A question I have been asked hun
dreds of times by lady customers, aays
J. S. Tnpliu in American Gardening,
is, "How often shall I water this
plant?" There is but one answer,
"Whenever it is dry." But by dry I
don't mean dust-dry and so bakod
that the soil is cracking away from the
sides o the pot, but when the soil be
gins to feel dry to the touch or when
on smartly tapping the sido of the
pot with the knuckles it rings from
tho blow. By taking a dry plant and
sounding it, and afterwards a wet cue
you will at once appreciate the differ
ence in sound. Even when the plant
is wet on the surface, if dry in the
ball, tho sound will betray the fact.
Many plants in pots which are stood
in jardinieres get yellow and sick from
no apparent cause. An examination
has always shown the soil sour from
excess of water at the roots, caused
by the water that had soaked through
the pot after watering and had been
loft standing in the jardiniere, thus
preventing (oration, and souring the
soil. The pot should always be lifted
out for watering and put back when
it has done soaking.
PRESERVING EOG9.
In the experiments in keeping eggs
made at one of the New York experi
ment stations, the eggs were all wiped
when fresh with a rag saturated with
some antiseptic and packed tightly in
salt, bran, etc. Eggs packed during
April and May with salt, and which
had been wiped with cottonseed oil,
to which had beon added boraio acid,
kept from four to five months with a
loss of nearly one-third, the quality
of those saved not being good.
Eggs packed in bran, after the same
preliminary handling, were all spoiled
after four months. Eggs packed in
salt during March and April, after
wiping with vaseline, to which salicylic
acid had been added, kept four or
five months without loss, the quality
after four months being much superior
to ordinary. Temperature of each
box varying little from sixty degrees
Fahrenheit, aud each box was turned
oyer once in every two days. Little
difference was observed in the keeping
of the fcrtilo andunfertilo eggs, and
no difference was noticeable in the
keeping qualities of eggs from differ
ent fowls or from those on different
rations, New York World.
J1IHTAKEH IN TREK BPRAVING.
Men often apply the same remedy
to all sorts of diseases, and frequently
with disabterous results. Thus the
superintendent of a California orchard
a capable and energetio man, but
not a "book farmer" found his trees
infested with red spiders. Knowing
that a spray of aalt, sulphur and lime
was good for some things, he believed
it good for all, and with his trees in
full leaf and tender foliage, he gave
them a thorough spraying with the
lime wash, with what result it is difll
cult to ell at this writing, but prob
ably he will kill the spiders, aud not
improbably the trees also.
Much judgment should bo used in
the application of all washes in the
orchard. The leaves are the lungs of
the tree, the breathing apparatus, and
whatever destroys them injures tho
tree. Lime the chief ingredient in
the lime, sulphur, aud salt wash of
course possesses highly cuustio prop
erties. It is this that gives it its ef
fective quulitisw, aud it should be used
on deciduous trees only in the wiutcr
when they are dormant. It t'len
reaches every part of the tree aud
scalds the young scale insects, pre
venting their growth and spread.
But when the trees are in leaf it can
not reach the pests so effectually,
whilo it will do very serious injury to
the trees.
Tho orchardist owes it to himself to
acquire at least some rudimentary
kuowledge of entomology in order to
cope BuocesBiully witli his insect en
emies, and at the same time not dam
age his treesor injure his insect friends.
His insuot lots may bo rouuhly divid
d into two classes, those li tst with
their jaws and those that suok with
a bill. In dealing with tho first clans,
among which aro caterpillars, slugs
and beetles, arsenical preparations
Paris green and London purple aro
the most ofTectivo remedies. In fight
ing tho stickers theso are useless, for
the reason that this class of pests do
not eat from tho surface but draw tho
sap of the plant or tree from beneath
the surface where the surface docs not
penetrate, and iu dealing with them
another class of remedies must be
used. It is here that the lime, sul
phur and salt spray comes into good
uso in tho winter, when there is no
danger of burning the leaves or young
growth, and a severe remedy can be
safely used. For summer use, how
ever, resin solutions ana Keroseno
emulsion, which can bo used without
endangering the trees, are the proper
remedies. American Agriculturist.

It is claimed that a decoction of
smartwood or walnut leaves applied

Tigs should always pay on a dairy
farm, as they will assist in consuming
a largo proportion of waste material
that is unsalable.
Breeding stock of all kinds need

All admit that a cow needs shelter

Poultry raisers in the viciuity of

Eye is excellent for late pasture or
for early spring. Quite a crop ot it
may be grown on late corn land. It
may be sown on the land occupied by
corn before tho corn crop is removed.
Sore places on animals caused by
flies may be annointed with a mixture
of one pint of crude petroleum, one
tnblcspoonful of woodtar and one teas
poonful of curbolio acid, well mixed.
So fur as possible the crops on the
farm should be grown to suit the mar
ket, and the crops that bring the
highest prices in proportion to the
cost of production should be grown.
If there are dogs about put a wide

There seems to be considerable dif

We frequently hear that there Is "no harm
from drinking sweet elder," sad temperanco
organizations frrquently huvj this question
brought before thorn for discussion. Cider
commences to ferment cssoon as it Is out ol
tha press, snd the alcohol lu cider Is as se
duoiivo and poisonous ns In any other drink,
and in many cases more so. A. 1. Foster,
D. D., of Massachusetts, In a recent letter to
ths Advance, writes us lollows i
"A recent drouilul murder in this State,
committed by a man upon his brother, Illus
trates tho evils of cider drinking. The mur
derer was intoxicated ou hard cider, and
henoe was lu au uirly mood, os is Invariably
the case with those under the Influence ol

cliler is ono of the greatest temptations to

do not feel that they can lose It. This fact
has done much to break down tho prohlhltl

this law was iu force it m.ft with opposition

grow fond of it, beuinulng with sweet cider,

Katnonn Canoes,
"Tho largo canoes, oalled taiimn

is laid in one solid piece extending
high tip in the air at bow and stern,
both ends being shaped ulike. Tho
strips nnd plnnks aro split out of logr,
and havo no uniform dimensions,
varying from six or oight inches toBix
or eight feet in length, and are of
different widths. Theso aro fasteuod

built np, not by lapping ouo over t' e
other, but edgo to edge, making n
tight, smooth surface. To accompli) h
this, the center of tho plank is dressed
down thin along ouo edge. Then by
boring holes through the thick edges
at intervals, on tho inside, and tying
them together with liber not a nnil

outside loft clean and smooth. Often
tho seams are filled with gum which
exudes from tho bread-fruit tree; this
makes them perfectly water-tight.

in making and finishing these craft is
something remarkable, for the reason
that tho planks aro of such uueven

in comfort, aud, when next season ho
imports small chairs thero is a growl
because there is nothing roomy and
luxurious. Tho best of tho oriental
furnitiiro imported for tho last tlfteou
years boa taught the Western world a
lesson in luxury, aud it is worthy pf

nervous troubles,
which continue
th rough life, have
their origin at this
time. If there be
pain, headache, backache, and nervous dis
turbances, or the general health not good,
the judicious use of medicine should be
employed. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip

ine st this time. The best bodily condition
results from its use. It's a remedy spe

nesses and derangements that aiUict wo

find that the woman who has faithfully
used the " Prescription " is the picture ot

In catarrhal inflammation, In chronic dis
placements common to women, where there
are symptoms of backache, dizziness of
fainting, bearing down sensations, disor

the trouble is surely dispelled and the
sufferer brought back to health and good
