VALCTS OF ELAKKO LIMB.
Lime, cither air slaked or unslaked,
is ntcd as a fertilizer where tbero is
largo amount of Togotnble matter that
only slowly decomposes. Such land
is always wet nnd cold. Dry land has
enough warmth in summer to prevent
tho accumulation of nineh vnrrMubl.,
matter, and ou such land tha limn run
only act by directly supplying this
mineral 10 plants mat lequire it.
When used to make vegetable matter
deooniDOSo more ranidlv Aft rnnnv na
seveniy to 100 bushels of lime per
aero are sometimes plowed in. This
puts suc.u laml in good shape for a
number of vears. but it is at. thn n.
pense of future fertility. If your
wet. innu is near a goou market, wo
should advise ta llll.lrnlrnin it an
better way to mako its vegetable
iuancr decompose, in lact, 11 there
is stagnant wntcr near the surface
most of tho year not even an applica
tion of lime would do it much good.
On your dry laud, lo large application
of lime will poy, but you might try
some as an experiment, but not as a
substitute for manure. Lime should
not be used on land intended for po
tatoes. The potuto does not require
it and its caustic effect on the tuber
makes tho skin tender and predis
poses it to scab fungns attacks. -Boston

WHAT TO FEED YOCNd TURKEYS,
The food for young turkoys, like
nil other young poultry, should be
thoroughly cooked and given in a
crumbly condition. Feed little and
often the first two weeks. Turkeys
have small crops but they digest their
food ropidly. Give a variety.
Turkics soon tire of any kind of food
if given too often, and will refuse to
eat it. It will not do to let them go
hungry. Hunger causes indigestion,
and indigestion will produco bowel
trouble.
Eggs ore a natural food for all
young poultry, but too much hard
boiled egg will cause bowel trouble ;
it is a better plan to moisten their
food with raw egg. Once or twice a
day for a week or ten days feed a stiff
ruush maJe of equal parts of flue oat
meul,'corumcal and bran or middlings ;
add a little salt and a tablespoonf ul
of bone meal one day, and a little
fiuely chopped meat the next.
Chopped onions, cabbage or other
garden greens should bo given as soon
ns they will cat them, lioue meal,
meat and vegetables are necessary for
tho houlth nnd growth of young tur
keys. They feather earlier than any
other fowl, aud this demand on the
system must be supplied by judicious
feeding. Cooked potatoes aud rice
are excelleut aud will help make up a
variety. When a week or ten days
old begin to teach them to eat grain,
cither ground or whole. As soon as
they are given a range the number of
inculs per day may gradually be re
duced. Farm, Stock and Home.
SCIENCE IN FAItUINO.
Agricultural education iu France
has progressed by leips and bounds,
nnd tho French farmer tills his ground
more scientifically ihsn any of his
neighbors. Agriculture is taught in
schools of ull grades. In 181)3 in
struction was given to 2700 pupils iu
French normal echools nnd to more
than 300,000 pcrtous who attended
their conferences. Model furms are
scattered ull over the laud for the pur
ioko of experiment and instruction.
While France is p.obably ahead of
all other (iovernmcuta iu tho applica
tion of science to fanning, Germany
is u good second, aud in some direc
tiouc, notably in the production of
the sugar beet, is in advance of her
rival. Jn uj;laud tho general dif
fusion of the kuowledxo which renders

by tho fuel that even iu a bud wheal

CARE OP THE FIOS.
Ordinorily until the pigs are six to
eight mouths old there should be no
other thought in connection with tho
raising of them thnn how to make
them grow. Any surplus fat at this
time is in tho way. The pig needs
that kind of feed that will develop bono
and muscle, giving him size nnd a ro
bust constitution. These things are
never accomplished by the farmer who
grows enthueiastio by spurts. It is
nature's wav to nermit of nn stnu.niTa
on the routo traveled by tho pig from
i.ne larrowiug nest to the packing
house. If he does tako a stop-over nt
any voint in his career from nm
cause whatsoever ho docs it at his own
expense. Regular and even develop
ment is alwavs nature's wav. ami bnr
way should bo our way.
For the first few weeks of tho pig's
lifo ho is to bo fed wholly through the
anm, ana it must always bo rightly
borne in mind bv tho feednr flint, trbnn
he is feeding the t'am he is feeding tho
pigs. It is very often a thoughtless
iudifTerecco npon this point that is tho
cause of one of tho most vexatious
troubles with young pigs. Scours is
not considered a very dangerous ail
ment, but it is a much mora enntlv
thing to the farmer's pocketbook than
all other ailments combined. Thumps
kills its victims in all probability and
the thing is at an end. One pig in
the litter is about tho limit of tho
trouble with thumps. But with scours
it goes through tho litter. Tho trouble
does not arise nerhans from crettmir Inn
strong a flow of milk over an extended
pencil oi time, cut rather from too
inucu u ouo urns ana too little at an
other, caused bv Himria in fnilinr. nr
by sudden changes in tho character of
me mtlk caused by feeding tho wrong
thing. Whatever tho cause tho worst
phase of tho ninttcr is not simply that
tho pigs are olllicted with a disorder
somewhat difficult to cure, but that it
stunts growth permanently. Tho pig
that has had tho scours never will
make the ho that it might have made
had it escaped tho trouble. This fact
may as well be set down as settled.
Hence, tho man who would make the
most of his hogs must avoid scours
with his pigs. This he can do only by
properly feeding tho dam while they
are young. Nebraska Farmer.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Cornstalks are a laxative food.
White Plymouth Rocks mako an ex
cellent cross with White Wyandottes
for general market fowis or eggs.
Nearly every poultry raiser has
more or less land upon which crops
may be grown that nre especially suit
ed for ponltry.
Equal parts of bron and corn meal
mixed with water and bakod hard is
an excellent food for young chicks,
especially if soaked in sweet rtilk be
fore feeding.
If you have a stony or gravelly
point in the pasture that produces
nothing, stimulate it with a dressing
of horse manure in which there is
plenty of gruss seed.
The timo to kill weeds in tho potato
field is when they first start. Weeds
that have been permitted to grow
large have done tho crop about all tho
harm they can do.
One very common mistake made by
owners of clay farms is tramping them
when wet, and coses are not rare
where there has beeu almost a failuro
of a crop from this cause- alone.
Look over your raspberry canes,
and if they seem swollen, cut off the
infected cuues and burn them, thus
destroying ono of tho worst pests this
delicious fruit has in this country.
Burn all clumps of dead, adhering
leaves found in your fruit trees, and
save tho fruit buds from destruction
by tho tiny worms that havo passed
the winter in hiding in theso leaves.
The farmers of Texas use ordinary
baking soda with quito good success
In keeping weovil out of com and
other grain. The umouut used is
twelve to fifteen pouuds of the soda
to every hundred barrels of corn iu
the shock.
The feet of foals very seldom re

perfection of form aud soundness.
Horses' feet, from this causo alone,
frequently become deformed, defec

Not one garden in a hundred ever
has okrn growing in it. This is a
great omission. It it pcrfctly easy to
grow, it bears cdiblo pods all summer
long if they are kept cut off as soon as
large enough, aud they are delicious
iu soups, ragouts, eta, and for pickles.
It is better to havo tho apace iu
your buildings devoted to roosts sep

Hens like green cabbage when it is

TOTAL ABSTINENCE TBI BEST BULB.
To ask tha dmnknrd to quint drinking, Is
to ask hi in to do what he lost the power of
doing. Of all forma of evil, Intemperance, If
taken In time, is tho easiest of prevention;
but Having once secured a footing, the most
difficult of cure. Total abstinence is the best
rule of action.
We urge the practice as an effectual safe
guard to fathers, husbands, brothers and
sons who nre living in tho midst of tempta
tions to which tho conflict of lifo exposes
them, and to mothers, wives, sisters and
daughters iu their social circles and In thotr
homos. H is a sad truth, that possibly more
than one-hnlf of our army of drunkards be
gin to feel the mastery of the drkadful appe
tite, through the drinking customs they have
brought into thotr own homes. AeovTnll
else, keep the homo pure.
Never allow the wine-cup entrance within
the hallowed precincts of the homo. In re
loleing or sorrowing, In health or sickness,
lot no occasion bo made an excuse for its
use.
To stale that there is no sinina cup of
wine, does not meet the argument. Nor will
It avail yon to point to total abstainers whose
example in other directions Is bod. The

It more serviceable to yourself, your noiKU

Mountain on Fire,
A communication from Avoyron,

its crater-like summit an intense
volumo of smoke rises during the day,
while at night a multitude of vari

Actuated doubtless by tho strong

the blazo illuminates tho horizon an
that of a great conflagration. At
times blue white flames shoot up to a
considerable height, giving tho eiloot
of lightning during a storm. A
curious faot about tho burning Mon
tet is that whenever a period of vorj
oold temperature ensues tho mountain
fire seems to grow in intensity. All
efforts to extinguish the blaze, or even

How Fred Taylor, a Member of the Out

(From (lie Ashtabula, Ohio, Viacon.)
Mr. Fred Tuylor was born und brought up
near Elinira, N. Y., uud from there enlisted
in tho lSlKh regiment, N. Y., V. I., with
which ho went through tho war uud saw
much hard service. Owing to exposure and
hardships during the service, Mr Taylor con
tracted chronic iliuri hiiu, from which he has
suffered uow over thirty yours, with uUo
lately no help from physicians. Uy nature
ho was u wonderfully vigorous u.uu. Hud

lueiidutiou of F. J. Hoilner.'tho leading drug
gist of tle..em, who was cognizant of similar
cases which l'ink Fills hud cured, Mr. Tuvlor
was persuaded to try a box. "As a drowning
miiu grasps u straw, so I took the pills," says
Mr. Taylor, "but with no more hope of
rescue, lint after thirty years of sulforing
nud fniitlei-s search for mlief I ut last found
it in Hr. Williams' l'ink Fills. Tho day after I
took tho llrst pills lcunilllelieed to feel better,
and when I hud taken the liivt box I was iu

Mr. Tuylor has since taken nioro of the pills
aud his progress is steady, and he has the
utmost eoiiildeiieo ill then'. Ho htia regained
full control of his nerves uud sleeps as well
as iu his youth. Color is coining buck to his

The Lapwings Drill.
Don Folii do A Kara, a Spnniah gen
eral and nnturulist, describing a small
finch, which ho aptly named Oscil
ador, says thnt early and Into in tho
day it mounts vertically to a modorato
height; then flies off to a distance of
tweniy yards, describing a perfect
onrvo in its passago. Turning, it flies
back over the imaginary lino it has
traced, and so on repeatedly, reap
pearing like a pendulum swung rapid
ly in spaoo by nn invisible thread.
Tho display of tho lapwings, called
by tho natives of La l'lata its
"square" or "serious dance," requires
throo performers. Tho birds indulge,
iu it all tho year rouud, nud at fre
quent intervals during tho day, and
also on moonlight nights. Ouo bird
leaves his uiato and approaches two
others, who welcome him with notes
and signs of pleasure. Advancing to
tho visitor, they plaoo themselves bo
hind him, and all three, kecpiug stop,
begin a rapid march, uttering reso
nant drumming notes iu timo with their
movements, the notes of tho pair bo
hind buing emitted in a stream liko a
drum roll, while tho leader titters
loud single notes nt regular intervals,
Tho march ceases, the lender elevates
his wings nnd stands erect nud mo
tionless, slill uttering loud notes,
whilo the other two. with puffed out
pi urn ago and standing exactly abreast,
stoop forward aud downwards until
the tips of their beaks touch tho
earth, and sinking thotr voiocs to a
murmur, remain for somo timo in this
posture. Tho performance ii thou
over, and tho visitor returns to his
own ground and mate, to receive a
visitor himself there later on during
tho dauco. New York Advertiser.
(irotvliifr .Scnrcily ol Furs.
Fur-bearing animals aro becoming
acarocr, not only iu British North
America, but us well iu our owu far
uorthwesteru possessions. Thero is a
noticeable decreaso in tho catch of
Alaskan fox, sable, ermine and mar
ten. Tho blue fox of Alaska is an
especially valuable aud beautiful fur.
The whito fox, which many think very
handsome, is still comparatively cheap,
aud is used for small rugs rather thun
an article of apparel. San Francisco
Examiner.
That lump in a
man's stomach
which makes him
irritable and misera
ble and unfit for bus
iness or pleasure is
caused by indiges
tion. Indigestion,
like charity, covers
a multitude of sins.
The trouble may be
in stomach, liver,
bowels. Wherever it
is, it is caused by the
presence of poison
ous, refuse matter
which Nature hns
been unable to rid
herself of, unaided.
Iu such cases, wise
leople send down a
little health officer,
personified by one
of Dr. Tierce's Pleas
ant Pellets, to search
out the trouble and
remove its cause.
