Tho Middcu awakening in this conn try to tbo merits of tho sunflower hns been caused by the appcurauco ou tho market of sunflower meal, which threatens to become a formidable rival of oil meal, This product has origin ated in llttFsis, whero suuttowcrs hove long been largely prown for food nud forago purposes.

Tho oil has long been valuable for its superior quality for table aud other uses, tnt the Cako has not found foreign market owiuj to its hnrd- ncss. ftow that tho question ot its disintegration has been successfully solved, it will doubtless Koon bo in general demand owing to its composi tion ana pnlutulmity for fatleniugcat- tle.

Wo will now compare a few of them to see which we will accept as our standard, writes 1. W. I. lierui, of Iudiauu. There is a cluss of farmers that pay but little attention to their fowls aud only feed them once a week, if at all, giving them all they can cut. Thoy will nave their IIIJ, too, if ho gives them a chance. Such farmers spend the greater part of their timo walking in tho garden and Holds and say "It doesn't pay to keep 'em." Tho hens roobt in the trees, for the hon bouse, if there is one, is full of lice and tilth. The hens die of indigestion (ho do clures it's cholera though) from eating so much at ouo time iu order to make np for tbo long vacations. Wo oome now to the tnau who feeds only ouco a day, that is iu winter. Corn is his only food, too. Hi fowls aro dying from indigestion aud bowel disease caused by tho fowls eutiug too much ot a time. A method that is hurd to make bo mo see is a mistake is feeding tbreo times a day. They argue that muu eats his three meuls a duy, why not the fowls. Fowls that are fed three times a day expect to do nothing but eat aud grow fat. lhey have no reasous 1 to exercise, and, of course, lay few eggs. Let fowls lenru to work for themselves. It makes them hustle about, and their blood circulates more freely, which is sure to bring eggs soon. They cuuuot live on nothing, nor with no chance to even scratch for their living. My way is to feed a half feed in the morning, warm mush is the best iu the winter, then they still have au appe tite to work or terutcb for hulf piutof millet seed or wheat scuttered among soino leaves or cut straw ou the beu house tloor. Wbut a time biddies have while they hunt for their other half ot breakfast I Huch talkiug, singing, cackling, flopping, jumping, running, fighting, picking and scratching you cannot imugiue unless you have seen it.

The more vuluublo thu crop und the grcuter the risk of frost, the more ell'ui t uud ex Peueo may be safely put into means of protecting aguiust frosts.

In tin-riifc of a freeze, siicl n vihited California two years bitobuiI Florida la.-t winter, or a real hard fiost in i.thcr tcetiotir, neither ol these methods is ot much avail. Smoke is good against all light frosts, and in ciisil.v obtained. Strawy ma nure, leaves, rubbish, etc., should lie piled iu the lowest places and about the sides, and covered with hay cups or ducking (previously painted with two coats of linseed oil aud dried), so as til bo always dry.

Then call up tho folks, light the torches aud let each person take torch and oil can (previously fillod) aud set lire to tho row of rubbish heaps previously as signed him. If the wind blows tho smoke away from the field carry some rubbish over to that side so tho ftmoko will lie blowu ou to instead of olTfrom the field. If tho danger never comes, no expense worth mentioning has been incurred as tho piles can bo scat tered and plowed nuder for manure or burned, thu ashes making excellent fertilizer. No prudent person thinks ot leaving his buildings uninsured against lire. Certainly it is just us important to insure ngaint frosts so far as it can bo dono by such simple means as smoko coveriugs or water. Wo wish nil who have had oxpcrlcnco iu this mutter would send it for publi cation. Mr. E. 1'. Fowell, a siicessful and brainy horticulturist iu Western New York, writes: "The very best preventive against frost is not tiros but thorough spray ing with water during tho oveuiug and night. When this cau be done, wo cau overcome tho danger from a full of two or three degress. This will often save our whole crop. This lust spring I lost my grapos by a mnrgiu of not more thuu two degrees, but ou a preceding night anticipated tho frost by deluging tho trellises with water. Of eonrso bouftres may also bo used. I anticipate wo shall bo compelled to adopt irrigation in all the Eastern Slates." Now England Ilouiostoad. TIlAININQ TUB HEIFER. A heifer should not be given too rich or stiiuulatiui food for a week before calving. A pint of oil meal in thin gruel Riven every duy for tho week beloro Will generally prevent any trouble with the placouta. The udder must bo closely watched, as heifers are peculiarly liable to inflam mation. Should it becomo unusually distended, it may bo necessary to draw from tho teats from one to sev eral quarts of milk iu order to pre vent iullnmmation. If this is done, it must be pcrfomed at regular intervals. As soon as possible after calving give a warm bran mash, protect tho heifer from cold aud wet and supply her fre quently with a moderate amount of water from which the chill has been tukcu : feed moderately and give flax seed gruel, warm brau mash or other laxative food. Authorities disagroo as to whether it is liest to separate the cow aud calf at ouco or to leave them together for tho lirst three d iva. Wo prefer tho bitter method. Tho udder at this time is apt to be iullumoj auJ hard cuud aud tho uekiu; of tho calf is thu easiest method of aoftcuiug aud re ducing It, aud tho milk is at this tituo unlit for use. If the udder is very distended the cow should bo milked immediately after calviujr, but it not it is best to let tho Calf be tho first to reduce it. Tho eow should be regularly milked night and morning at tho usual time, so as to remove any milk left by tho culr. lUii uaverv important pre caution, aud any neglect of it might seriously injure thu cow by leaving portion to produce iurt iinmatiou. It has auother great advautage, ho ever. It accustuiua the heifer to baud milkin.; as well as to auekiug, aud wheu tho latter ceases with the re movul of the calf tho usual per formatice of breaking is largely avoided, the milk is not held up or the pull kicked over, uor is there nearly such liuduo txeiteu out at tho low of her calf, her alfectious Luviug beeu equally divided between her olf-iiiriug uud tho e.'htlo roiiiiu milker who feeds au I peW her.

It is qmto a curious sight to behold theso monks in their long frocks and sandals climbing up thn masts, along thoyardurms, rooting sails or hanging almost over tho water on tho foremost point of tho bowsprit.
