A UAH WEED. Tho bnrdock is a bad weed, from tho multiplicity of its seods and the rendiness with which they are dis tributed by tho wind nnd by passing animals or persons. Cutting the bur dock down when it is beginning to form blossoms will usually kill it, as at this stage of growth the root has but little vigor left. But when these large bur clocks ore piled for burning there should bo plenty of dry wood in the heap, bo as to moke a hot fire. If the weeds aro burned alone some of the seed will fall down to the bottom of tho burning pilo and csoapo de struction. In a slow firo mado from green weeds there is a stratum of car bonio acid gas at the bottom oT the heap in which nothing will burn. American Farmer. eiKVtXD COWS BE CARDED. Most certainly cows should bo kepi cleric, and they cannot be without being frequently carded and brushed. One who tries it the first time will not need to think about the matter. The way tho cows tv ill turn their heads and necks and stop eating to enjoy the scratching of tbo skin and the final brushing will tell an intelligible story of how they like it. As tho skin is an excretory organ and throws off a large quantity of wasto matter, as may be known by the odor of a close stable, if it is not kept in healthful action by this carding nud brushing, this matter is retained in tho blood and cannot help but get into tho milk, where it makes that strong odor which has been called tho animal odor. It is, how ever, only tho odor of a dirty skin, as is so well known to apply to human beings who are not cleanly in this di rection. Cows should be well carded nnd brushed before every milking. The udder and teats should not be neglected either, os these may badly need washing at times. Now York Times. A CItrEI, rRAcncn. No more cruel thing is thoughtlessly done, day after day, winter after win ter, than tho putting of a frosty bit into a horse's mouth. At least I try to think that only the thoughtless could be guilty of such, aa inhuman practice. Yet what child does not learn at an early ago tho penalty of contact between tender flesh and cold iron on a biting winter's day? It is posbioio mat any man wnose baby fingers havo clung to frozen iron nntil perhaps the skin was torn from them, can so far forget tho sting as to force the same biting iron jnto the moist, tender mouth of a brute, as sensitive to suffering as ho himself? "Can't take time to warm bits ;" "only hurts a minute ;" "thay don't mind it ;" "do hold them against the horse's body cometimes," nre some of the excuses and makeshifts we hear, but they are poor ones at tho bent. Whatever is worth doing is wcrth doing well, and it really takes no extra time to thor oughly warm tho Lories' bits. If tlie team is to bo hnrnrssed early in the morning, it muFt bo fed before breakfast, and tho bridles can bo brought to the kitchen iiro to grow warm and comfortable for the horses while the muster is ministering to his own comfort. Thoughtlessness causes tho same puffering as heartless cruelty. New England Homestead. TEEES ON TUB FARM. Do not allow the farm to remain a wabte of bare land." I'lant trees every year, few or many at a time ; but plant eome at all events, and make up your mind to go right into the busiuess iu the spring. Trees add to the value, appearance and homelikeness of any farm. Oive them only the care the farmer expects to expend upon corn and potatoes, and they will do well, btrauge it is that an otherwiso good farmer who will tend his corn crop assiduously will set out a tree only to utterly neglect and forsake there after. The tree to do well must be fed and cultivated like any other farm crop. Then it will respond freely ana generously both by growth ai:d by fruit. The plum and pear, well grown, pay well. Ket them out in rich soil at intervals ot twenty feet in either direction. Never let them get hungry. Stir the soil con stantly through tho summer, and you will never regret tue tlay vou under took fruit culture. Some of the best and luott profitable market pears are Anjou, lluae, Sheldon, Cluirgeau aud Lawrence. For desirable plums plaut Abundance, llurliank, Heiue ClanJe, LcuiuarJ and Geriuau Prune. Fruit trees will staud lots of stabla manure, especially while they are making their growth, but after fruiting has begun they need poUbh and phosphorio acid in far greater quantities than nitrogen. Hence tho wisdom and utility of em ploying nnleachod wood ashes and finely grouud bone for their fertiliza tion. Mix them in proportion of one ton of ashos to rive hundred weight of bono, scatter a liberal quantity broad cast over tho entiro Brea of ground covered by tho tree roots, and expect good crops of fruit. Never allow any fruit treo to bear too heavily. When overloaded, thin out some of tho surplus fruit. The remainder will grow enough larger to more than make np the difference, while speci mens of fruit will be far finer, Colo mau's Iktiral World. AsrARAOUS CTLTTUK IS A N1TSITELL. There are many who aro very fond of asparagus, but will not grow it be cause of tho time which expires before tuo plants will furuielt a crop. "Whero land is plentiful and on most farms there aro many acres that yearly go to wasto this should not be, for in planting a small led and taking care of it there would not be moro than one or two wholo days in a year spent upon it, ana at the end of tho third year the planter would bo riohly rewarded for his labor. First of all have your land in good shape, and don't be afraid of the ma nure or fertilizer. Purchase your seed from some good house, as the seed is tho foundation upon which your future bed will rest. Sow it thinly in rows one foot apart during the months of April or May, according to the weather, and keep down all weeds. To prooure good strong healthy plants thin out the seedlings to three or four finches in the rows, saving only the strong ones. Ono year can be gained upon this system by buying from you seedsman year-old plants, which Bhonld be set out in spring in a rich sand loam, which has been plowed at least eight een inches deep and has had a liberal amount of well rotted manure worked into it. If your soil is of stiff clay, add plenty of sand to it and also soma Rifted coal ashes, which will serve to loosen it np. You should also make some preparation for under-drainage. Every fall a good dressing of coarse manure should be applied after the tops have been out, and in the spring this should be forkod in. In cutting the crops never cut the roots too closely, as they need the ben efit of at least a little foliage, or else they will weaken and die during the cold season. New York Witness, FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Feed regularly. Weed out the calls. Season all soft food with a pinob ot salt. Feed ground bone and crashed oys ter shells. Give your sheep a sunny southern exposure protected from the north and northwest winds. If you put down a good supply of cabbago and other greon stuff, as we advised you in the fall, your fowls are getting the benelit, and returning it to you in eggs. If your roosting r laeo is inolined to be louky, this cold weather has Cov ered the interior of tho place with white frost, which is not the most comfortable wall paper for va hen house. The man who got a nice lot of pullets last spring is gathering eggs now. They lay more readily in cold weather than the old hens. Ihey take a rest from laying oftener than old hens, bat do not rest so long. Who can find a winter sitter! Her prioe is above roubles. Sheconsidereth a nest and layeth in it ; she ariseth early and gathereth the grub, and when she has finished her laying she Bitteth on the eggs, and hatohetb. a brood. And the breeders of exhibition fowls rise up and bless her. Three meals a day ia winter are too many for your fowls. Two is a plenty, if they are of the right sort. A good warm mash at night, for them to go to roost on these cold nights, is a very good thing, and that gives them the grain in the morning, when they have all day before them in which to scratch about for it among the litter. The run of the market shows that the big beeves are not in as active de mand as heretofore. Twelve hundred pounders brought as good prices per 100 pouuds as the over-fat tixteen and eighteen hundred pounders. This in dicates that consumers are no longer willing to pay five cents per pound ex tra for fancy over choice cuts. Charcoal is ono of tho most essen tial articles of food to successful poul try farming. The beBt way to secure this is to place an ear ot corn in the lire until it is entirely charred and then shell off to your fowls, You see an eagerness developed and a healthy condition brought about. All pale combs will become bright red, and the busy song which precedes laying will be heard and the average yield ot eggs greatly increased. It is possible to get three litters ot pigs from s sow in one year, but this is a littlo too hoggish. Some say it is best to keep a sow breeding all the time, as it will cheok the tendency to take on fat. It is our opinion that fat a reasonable amount of it is not poison, even to a sow, and does not call for heroio doses of anti-fat. The sow will be better pleased in the end with two families a year, aud what pleases the sow ought to please the owner. The man bhould not be a bog. The question of selling eggs by weight is still buing agi'ated.and there are many reasons lor favoring it, though the advantages would not be so great as many supposo. A small egg like the Leghorn's, for instance, has a thin shell, fine aud smooth, while tho large eggs liks the Kocks, Cochins and JJrauiiha have a thick eoarse shell. If sold by weight the purchaser would pay extra price for egg shells, but would he get any more weight of actual egg, that he could use? Very little if any. TEMPERANCE.

Inasmuch ns tho family Is the unit ol the looial structure, Ihe relation ot Intemper ance to the family becomes Important. Unfortunately that ri'laiion Is but too well known.

CLBANINO FTJRNrrrjrtE. Ono reason why pooplo fail in clean ing furniture coverings is that they are too economical in tho use of naphtha. It must bo literally poured on to be eifcctive. Standing in tho breeze it will evaporate very qnickly, and will destroy every vestigo of moths. If tho articles are to be left in the house they may be wrapped in sheets, tightly pinned around them. This keeps a certain amount of the odor in the furniture for a long time, and renders it doubly safo. It cannot bo too strongly empha sized that no light ot any kind must be taken into the rooms whilo the naphtha-cleaned articles, recently cleaned, are there. The inflammable nature of naphtha vapor makes it ex ceedingly dangerous when brought near a name. Cushions, carpets and wool draperies may safely bo oleanod in this way, and all that is necessary is to throw all draperies over a line in the yard, open the windows, remove the wrappings from tho furniture, and lot the breczo have full swoop through the rooms for a day or two. Thon there will be no offensive smell, and the furniture may be nsed with perfoot safety so far as danger from liro is concerned.
