lioforo digging a well it is well to
look acd seo what kind of trees are
growing near it. Locust trees will
scud their roots a distance of fifteen
to twenty feet for water, and if a well
is within that distance they will sure
ly get into it if the well is walled with
stones. In a driven well of course
tho water can only get in at tho bot

cheaper way of putting down wells
than the old fashioned one of digging

ADVICE ADOrT TREE TLAVTIN'O.
Joseph Meehau advises those who
wish to plant trees and shtnbs this
year not to wait until the leaves fall, but
as soon as tho wood is f. ell ripened to
strip off the leaves and then to plant
the trees. The soil at this season is
wnrm, often warmer than tho air. and
this condition encourages the imme
diate throwing ont of fibrous roots.
Air. Meehan writes to the Kural New
Yorker that if the leaves are left on a
few twigs of the tree they will drop off
n a few days, and this will guaran
tee the success of the work. If they
do not drop, but wither on the stem,
this is a sign that the tree has not
thrown out roots and that it will not
probably live. The tree should be set
in a hole, the earth filled iu, and if the
soil is rather dry it will make little
uiilerence, because in this condition it
can be rammed tightly around the
roots nntil tho hole is three-fourths
full. Then water should be poured
into the hole and the remaining soil
thrown in later without much ram
ming. What a tree needs to assist in
forming new roots is a warm, moist
soil. Garden and Forest.
LOOK AFTER THE TEETH.
The teeth of the horse form the sub
ject of a bulletin issued by the Agri
cultural Experiment Station of Vir
ginia. It concludes with the follow
ing practical suggestions :
"When young colts are troubled
with indigestion or refuse to suekle,
look into the condition of their teeth
nd gums. If the gums are inflamed,
swollen and painful to the touch.
have them properly lanced. If at the
age of from two to live years the colt
refuses to eat, wads his hay ami lets it
drop, or eats with difficulty, have his
teeth examined and properly treated
by a competent veterinarian. If the
eyes become weak and luuatnM during
dcntitioD, the teeth may need the at
tention of the veterinary surgeon. If
the jaws become enlarged, in nine
cases ont of ten the teeth need atten
tion. If the horse turns his Lead to
the'side while eating and attempts to
chew his food on one side, Mb teeth
need attention. Wadding the hay and
dropping it is symptomatio of a long
tooth, which needs the attention of
the veterinary dentist. If the horse
gradually loses flesh without any ap
parent cunse, although, well cared for,
the teeth are probably at fault. If
the horse slobbers while driving and
pulls viciously on the bit, look to the
teeth ; many 'pullers' are made so for
the want of proper denial attention.
Carrying the head to one side while
boing driven is frequently sympto
matio of a faulty condition of the
teeth, which is relieved by a few min
utes work of the veterinary surgeon."
SELECTING SEED OORS.
The usual method of selecting corn
for seed is to pick ont the best ears,
either at the time of husking or when
wanted to plant, writes S. M. Harris,
of Monroe County, New York. This
is better than no selecting at all, but
does not necessarily give the best corn
for the purpose for which it is in
tended. We take great pains to breed horses,
cows, sheep, etc, from auimals that
nearest approach the typo we desire to
produce, and iu the case of cows, for
instance, we breed from those individ
uals which show the greatest tendency
to produce milk. The law of nature
that like produces like applies to plants
ns well as to animals. If we want sheep
to produce twins we must breed from
sheep that are themselves twins, or
which show a tendency to produce such.
It is the same, I think, with corn. If
we want oorn to produce two or three
ears to a stalk we must plantseed from
stalks that produce more than one ear,
Before the corn is out I go over the
field and select out snch stalks as come
nearest to my ideal. I want corn to
not only produce two good ears to a
stalk, but also to have a strong, vig
orous stalk, with good, large leaves,
and to have a tendency to ripen the
ccrn early. The ears also mutt be ol
good length and well tilled out.
it is hardly possible to select
corn with all these characteristics
After the croii is cut. It is therefore
much better to do so before cuttiug
the crop. If the work is done faith
fully every year the corn will steadily
improve. I now have a strain of yel
low Hint corn that has such a strong
tendoucy to produoo ears that I often
11 li J btalks with five or six ears on
them. Of course, when there are so
many as this, not more thu.'i one or
two ure of auy si.e. Three ear uru
about all that a stalk can mature un
der ordinary cireuiuotaucef, and two
ftl are better, unless the laud is very
rich. In selecting seed oorn I should
choose ears from stalks that prodnood
as many ears as can be fouud. Thoro
is no danger of getting too many.
One common thing about corn is
that on poor land the stalk will not
produce as many ears as on rich land.
This is a fortnnate provision of na
ture that provides that corn shall not
produce more seed than it can bring
to maturity. If, on the other hand,
you havo a strain of corn that has a
strong tendency to produce ears, and
plant it on land made rich enough to
stand the drain upon it, each stalk
will produce all tho ears it can mature,
and a larger crop results.
To get the best results the oorn
should not be planted closer than
2 x3 feet apart and tho stalks one
foot apart ia the rows. New York
Tribune.
CHICKEN CHOLERA.
Chicken cholera is a contagions, in
fectious and malignant disease of
poultry and barnyard fowls, nffeoting
any or all of the organs of the diges
tive apparatus, and due to a certain
bacillus, or fungus, which the birds
receive cither in their food or from
the droppings of other affected fowls.
The disease seemsto affect all fowls.
Some suffer more severely than others,
but it may safely bo said that none
are immune. Trobably chiokens are
the most readily affected, and the dis
ease runs iu them a severe course.
Tho higher bred birds, whioh are the
Minorea, Light Brahmas, Barred
Plymouth Bocks and the Wyandottes,
succumb most readily. A serious mis
take of chicken fanciers is in in
breeding their stook too closely. The
practice produces birds which will
contract any disease or ailmont to
which poultry are heirs.
The causes of chicken cholera are
predisposing, or are active. The pro
Uisposing causes may be said to be ex
posure to the disease, olose breeding,
confinement in rtnheathful houses,
roup, a continued diet of unspecified
food, and a lack of exercise. While
the predisposing causes do not of
themselves introduce the cholera
germ into the system, they render the
fowl so susceptible that it is ready to
receive and to assimilate any poison.
The active cause ol chicken cholera
is the introduction of the gorm into
the system. Tho period of incubation,
however, varies considerably. The
common fowl will keep perfectly well
a long time, while the beautiful Min
orca or the Langshan will suocumb in
a few days. Once established, the dis
ease runs a rapid course.
Chicken cholera is most oommon in
southern countries, particularly where
there is a rainy season, Tte fowls are
continually penned op. they get littlo
or no exercise, and their food becomes
damp and musty. In winter, in cold
climates, when tho poultry is housed
during a snow storm, their food should
be bnried so that they will get suffi
cient exeroise by scratching for it, and
it should be scattered about in oleau
hay or straw. With the first symptom
of cholera the chicken steals oft by
itself, or remains in the hennery after
the other chickens have gone out. It
will try to isolate itself completely. K
food be brought to it it will eat, but it
will not mingle with the nock. The
bird's eyes grow dull and listless ; the
comb has a dull, purplish tinge, gradu
ally becoming gray. The plumage is
dull and ruffled. If tho fowl be lifted,
it is startling to note its lightness.
On the second or third day a diarrhoea
begins, which gradually beoomes gray
ip. color. It is a singular fact that a
hen affected with cholera is invariably
covered with lice. Some writers de
clare that chicken cholera is only a
combination of lice and indigestion.
The vermin are .doubtless a means
of spreading the contagion, and, as
the fowl has not the strength to resist
them, they make a combined attack on
the siok bird.
The disease trill run for three or
four days before the relief of death.
In some cases, the diarrhoea will abate
at the end of the seoond day, and the
bird will be on the high road to re
covery ; but not nntil it is practically
well, will it rejoin the nock. Then
again, the disease may come on more
quickly and be more violent. During
an outbreak of cholera it is not un
common to see the entire flock per
fectly well in the morning, and at
least one-fourth o! the number dead
by night.
The treatment ol chicken cholera
must be preventive rat b or than cura
tive. As soon as a sick bird is discov
ered it must be removed from the
flock; or, better still, the healthy
birds should bo removed. The chol
era germs are likely to be everywhere
in tU Joken house, and insects are
the most common carriers. When the
flock has been removed, examine tbe
food carefully, and feed only what
you are sure is the best quality. Add
live drops of cresote, or carbolio acid,
to one quart of boiled water, and do
net allow the poultry to drink from
anything but a strictly clean tin, or
porcelain vessel. Disinfect the (ien
uery and the roosts.
. The diseased poultry should be
placed in houses that are olean, dry,
light and ure free from draughts.
Cholera is unknown where chickens
have the best hygienic surroundings.
A small bit of pine tar placed under
the bird's wings will drive off the in
sects. Oive the birds nothing but the
creoote water to drink uu l boiled
meal and crushed wheat as food. A
little crushed oniou, or asifoetida,
that is boiled with the uieal aud wheat
will make ths food even more soothing

BEEF MARROW.
To melt the marrow, put it in ft cup
or other small vossel and placo oer
boiling teakettle, then strain, and
when nearly cool stir thoronghlv with
a teaspoon; then put away under
covet. It is valuable as a remedy for
chafing in infants, for chapped hands,
for sore feet, caused by much walking ;
and if your littlo ones have a
tendency to canker sores round the
mouth, nothing is better or more
healing than beof marrow. For those
who use pomade for the hair, it is ex
cellent if mixed with a little swoot oil
and stirred till white. It strengthens
the scalp and promotes tho growth of
the hair. If desired, a few drops of
rose water may be added. New Eng

HYGIENE OF TnE NURSERY.
Regular baths, proper food, And
long hours of sleep are necessary con
ditions to a healthy infant. The three
prime essentials in the nursery are
fresh air, good food and pure water.
Never put a bottle nipple into your
mouth and then into tho baby's
mouth ; this will often prove danger
ous. Always hold a baby in your artng
when feeding it, in about the same
position as if nursing it.
Feeding at night, aftor the third
month, is both inconvenient and un
necessary ; sloep at night is bolter '
than food.
Do not fed the baby because it
cries ; this may be due to pain, and it
is hurtful to fill an infant's stomach at
such a time.
Have a rule for. feeding the baby,
and do not vary from it; without
regularity tho mother beoomes a slave.
More infants' lives are taken by
overfeeding than by starvation ; never
liken an infant's digestion or diet to
your own.
An infant's thirst is not quenched
by milk ; it needs clean water to drink
with regularity.
Plain, boiled water, given between
feedings, will ofteu aid the digestion,
and satisfy the child when restless.
Vomiting aud diarrhea are indica
tions that the child is either Bick or
approaching sieknets, and probably
needs a physician.
Cholera infantum would bo of rare
occurrence if proper attention was
always given to tho quality and quan
tity of the food.
A nursing mother who worries, or
who is exhausted, or who indulges in
excitement, may become a sourco of
danger to her infant.
An infant is a creature of habit, and
usually responds to the wish of tbe
mother, if the mother has order in her
will.
Bubber tubes, complicated nipples
and nursing bottles are dangerous, and
should never be used.
Light and loose clothing, frequent
bathing, or cool sponging are necessi
ties for tho infant in hot weather.
Cleanliness, as applied to the body,
the mouth, the food, the vessels, the
olothing, the furniture, tho floor, the
sarpets, the beds and the atmosphere
should be strictly observed. New
York Ledger.

Dr. 11. K. Carrol, who is authority on Qov-i
eminent centus statistics, furnishes an nan
mum of the expenditure of the ehurohes of
the United Stales for their maintenance. Ho
says:
''The (mind total for all denominations
could hardly be less tliair 150,000,000, aud
It mlKht bn many millious larger. These
IlL'ures appear large; but oomparu them w.tb
U,8 0,(00,OUU lha annual expenditure of,
tho American Nation to susluiu tbe National

to pay for her vices?"
