GOOD AND SUFFICIENT REASONS
FOR THE BLUES.
Doctor. Fail to

A marked trait iu woman's character
is to place implicit confidence in her
physician.
A man must work entirely from the

of female

Soon they grow to feel that tho

Then they remember that "a woman
best understands a woman's ills," and
turn to Mrs. Pinkhain.
The following letter is hut one posi

CHARCOAL FOR PW9,
Charcoal is good for pigs, and they
may safely cat nn much of it as they
wish, which will be only a small quan
tity, when their iustincts load them to
do it. The custom of feeding swine in
olosed pens is not wholly condnoivo to
good digestion of the food, and the
pigs frequently suffer from aournoss
of the stomach, which is neutralized
by the charcoal, which is often need
in medicine for this satno trouble.
HAOCllNl OnATES.
Not so much is written now ns nsed
to be about bagging grapes to keep
them from insect enemies or fungous
diseases. The object is much better
aooompliehed by spraying with the
Bordeaux mixture. The bags required
a good deal of labor to apply, and at
the low rate that grapes have lately
sold for, it did not pay. llesides, it
was found that the protection made
the grape skins more tender, so that
they were less prepared for long trans
portation or for long keeping. Bag
ging grapes is still practiced by am
ateurs, but it is a practice likely to be
confined to them.
dogs and sntxr. -?v
It is strange that when sheep are on ;e
thoroughly frightened by dogs the
usefulness of their lives is ended. Ite-
contly a relative in Saratoga Connty
appoalod to me for a romedy for seven
sick sheep. Each had different symp
toms from all the rest ; and, taken alto
gether, they exhibited abont all the
symptoms of every known disease of
sbcep. I diagnosed the cause of the
tronblo as the thread long-worm, and
requested the sickest ono to bo
slaughtered and examined. No visible
cause could be seen. In the report of
the post-mortem it transpired inci
dentally that the flock bad been chased
by dogs some weeks previously, and
they silled one. J bis explained au.
Seven died. After having been chased
by dogs a flock should bo watched
closely, and at the least sign of any
thing being wrong with any of them,
slaughter them, for they are then good
for food. Farm and Fireside.
MOW TUB ODD CORNERS. ' -
The short hay crop makes it neces
sary to save every spear of grass on
the farm, writes E. L. Vinoent. On
every place there are sniuo odd corners
which are rarely mowed. This year
every one of these should be cut.
Often there will be little nooks in the
garden or aronud tho house where the
grass grows np rank. On many farms
there are still old-fashioned rail
fences. In tho corners of those quite
a little hay may be made, and even
along the borders of plowed fields,
especially when they lie against
fences, there will be fringes of grass
which should be cut." Some farmers
make a practice of mowing spots in
their pasture which grow np so tall
that the cattle are not apt to eat oft
tho grass. In this way quite an ad'
dition may be made to the haymow.
Only a little may be secured from each
of these places; bnt "many a mickle
makes a mnckle," and, when the out
look is so discouraging for anything
like a fair crop in the meadows, wo
must not allow any grass to go to
wasto. The seeding of corn has been
heavy this year, but corn alone is not
a perfect ration. We want all the
grass we can get.
KirPXNGI RASr-BERRY CANES.
On land rich enough to produce a
large crop of berries there is always
liability of the plants running up tall
and weakly, so that if they frnit the
stalks will break down. It is far
bettor to pinch the ends of new shoots
towards the last of June, throwing
the sap back upon the stalk, making
it thicker, and inducing the formation
of new branches. This greatly in
creases tho productiveness of all the
red raspberries, bosides making the
canes less likely to be broken down.
The black-cap raspberries should be
nipped for auother reason. They are
propagated by burial of the tip end
in the soil. If the shoot grows with
out check there will be just one tip to
be gained from it. But it its growth is
checked when 3; feet high there will
be numerous branches put forth from
the stalk, each one of whioh will de
velop the long, naked and snake-lik?
tip, which will bend down and root it
self in the soil. If the ground has
been well cultivated there need be no
attempt made to root tho tip, as it
will readily root itself whenever a rain
comes to moisten the soil. So soon as
the new tip is well rooted it is well to
cnt the stem which binds it to the old
stock, so that winds swaying it will
not uproot the new plant. A second
cut should be made eixbt to ten or
twelve inches from the principal cane,
and those spurs will next year bear
tuoro fruit than will the lurge cane.

KOVEL EXERCISE FOR THE DULU
1 wish to tell tue stock growing
readers of the i'loushinan how
worked my bull without taking him
out of his stall. A few years ago I had
a fine Jersey bull ttiree years old. He
was kind, but at times when I took
him out he was rather hilarious. I be'
came suspicious of him, as he had no
ring in his nose, and thought I must,
in somo way, givo him excrciBe. Fin
ally I adopted the following plan : 1
rolled into his stall, iu front of him, a
stone, nearly round, that weighed
about 300 pouudx. It seemed to be
just what he wanted, ire attacked it
us ho would auother bull ; ho rolled
it over and over ; he went down on his
knees and rubbed his head against it,
then up aid weut at it agniu. He had
very slim horns, and he wore them
off over au incb ; he worked at it uutil
ho became thoroughly exhausted, and
laid down to ret. iver alter that
when hj needed exercise, he would
lay with that stone, lie had it for
your, and alwuys exercised himxelf iu
that wav. J had no trouble with him,
uud ho kept his horns well worn off.

If there is anything gives dignity to
a farmyard, it is a gobbler strutting
around, so I thought the other day,
when taking a survey of a poultry
yard, writes A. E. O. Mssketl. How
proudly the gobbler holds his head I
Uow the trail of his stiff robe rattles
npon tho ground I How be shows his
bine blood I Ah, yes, he is a magni
ficent bird, and wise as well. I have
known him to do many a thing whioh
must require something more than
mere instinct.
All kinds of tilos have como to mo
of gobblers, some almost too wonder
ful to bo true, and yet they are
vouched for by reliable parties,
Tho lady with whom I board was
telling me abont how very cnte her
gobblor was. She says, after her
turkey hens went to sitting, the gob
bler seemed very lonely, and at last
hunting np some white stones he be
gan sitting on them only leaving the
place to receive bis food.
"Suppose we sot the gobbler," said
a member of tho family, and thirty
five eggs were placed under him, every
ono of which hatched but two ; ana
then how proud this gobblor was of
bis thirty-tbroo little chicks I It is said
he was as beautiful as a picture with
them all running after him and seek
ing shelter under his wings in time of
a storm. Ho cared for them faithfully
nntil they were large enough to take
care of themeelves, then he wandered
off among the tnrkoys again. He had
found that a gobblor could raise a
family as well an a tnrkev-hen and
was evidently satisfied. New York

riuciicAt. snEEP husbandry.
Sheep require special feeding for
the reason that the fleece, boing a
valuable product, equal to or surpass
ing in value tho carcass, is to bo nour
ished. ool has a large proportion
of nitrogen in it; it has somo sulphur
as well ; and if these are not supplied
in the food the wool must be deficient.
Of all the plants crown for feeding
the stook, clover best supplies both
theso necessaries of the animal.
Have a few lamb creeps abont the
pastures, into which the lambs may
squeeze thomsolvcs, but the sheep can
not, and there they should find a little
but regular supply of the most nutri
tious food. Linseed-oil cake, with a
little molasses mixed, will be especially
desirable
Don't give the flock any cotton seed
meal. There is no other animal that
needs snoh care in the feeding as the
sheep, or in avoiding costivenees.1
And this feed tends this way. !
Complaints are often made of tho'
wooly smell of mutton. This is not
due to the wool at all. The smell of
wool is due to tho sheep anyhow, and
when a carcass is not rightly dressed
and the animal odor given a chance to'
escape, the meat tastes of the sheep.i
That ia all. To avoid this take out
tho inside as quickly as possible, and!
do not wash the carcass down un
til it has had a little time to evaporate'
this ordor. I
Above all things avoid stagnant of
slow rnnning water for a (look. It is
the worst thing for the encouragement
of the lung worm that exists. '

btriotly speaking, it is the ewes
that most need to be weaned, the
lambs really weaning themsolves as
the milk of the ewes falls off. The!
ewes are most in danger of this wean-
ng, especially those which have beenl
giving the most milk. To take the
lamb from such ewes as this and leavo
the ewe to her fate, is mostlv to lose
some of the best sheep in the flock,'
for the ewes that rear the best lambs
are not only good themselves, bnt
they are reproduced in the lambs. It
is not always the case that the ehep
herd thinks of tins. Bnt in truth the
character of the ewes in this respect
gives the real value to the flock.
Whatever is given to sheep' should
be given with regularity. Once used
to anything, sheep fret it thoy are put
off even. This applies to feeding and
every otbor part of the management
of a nook.
Wool will keep in the best oondition
when stored iu a somewhat damp
place. I he best place is a dry snb
celler half above the ground, and that

of the oarbonio aoid of tho carbonite

to stain A rr.oon.
Carpets and largo rugs in a snmmer
cottage are a great nuisanoo, and it will
be found much coolor to stain tho
floor. The following processes for
staining wood blaok is vouched for by
the Scientific American ;
It consists in painting tho wool
consecutively with copper sulphato
solution (1 per cent.) and alcohoho
aniline acetate (equal part of alcohol
and acetate). A very durable blaok
and tho nearest approach to rent obony
is readily obtained by moistening the
surface of tho wood with uilutod sul
phuric aoid (1 to 20), and subsequent
ly applying heat. A temperature of
sixty to ninety degrees C. audioes in a
few minutes to produce the desired
result.
An excellent blnck was obtained in
this way on beech, bass and boxwood,
while a socond treatment with tho
acid was necessary iu the case of
cherry, walnut and birch.
With oak, ash and applo tho results
were not so good. The process is es
pecially adapted to small articles.

The Chairman of tho Tower Uridgo
Committee, London, is snid to havo
onco received a letter from a Isclfast
genius, with a proposal whioh com-
lotoly puts in tho sha.lo any possible
imaginable way of bridging or tunnel-
ng the l-nglish C hannel. He doolarod
that ho had invented nothing loss than
submersion railway and locomotive
nguie to cross tho Atlantic. Kiich
details as the provision of air for the
passengers and coal for tho engine ap
pear to havo boon too trivial for him
o condescend to consider, bnt doubt-
ess in due course theso trifles will bo
provided for. A very similar absurd-
ty is tho proposal of alronch phy-
ician to form n syndicate but what
can that blca'ed business, a syndicate,
not do for tho. purpose of construct-
ng a submarine railway along tbo bot
om of tho channel, the cars to be
provided with air tubes reaching to
tho surface.
A moro oremtinn engineering pro
posal ia thnt for tho postal tubes bo-
ween Franco and I.ngland. I'.aoh tube
s projected to havo a diameter of
three foot, to bo snspendod by stool
cables at a height of 121) feot abovo
the wator. Tho cables are to be tlxed
to pillars reaching from tho bottom to
tho required height, erected at inter
vals of 800 yards apart. Miniaturo
rains, each with a suitable load of
mail matter, will run through tho
tubes. A bigger development of this
postal tubo is tho idea of a rlpaninril
to transmit letters in pneumatic tubes
laid from South America to Kurono,
by whioh a letter deposited in the tube
t Rio Janiero would arrive in Europe
tho same day.

ably the oldest croatnros of that olnss
that ever walked. Theso old-timo
freaks woro birds of a size larger than,
nny horse that now exists; but, birds
though they were, thoy walked on font

does. No remains of these creatures
have ever been fonnd othor than their
tracks, dozens of which have bceu
fonnd on sandstone and carofully got

of tho world. Tho bird tracks recent
ly found at Hastings, Kngland, nro
as canary tracks to those of an ostrich
