How often have we asked this qucs. tion in spring! We can hardly Lelieve that dull, dark, dreary winter lias real ly pone until we are assured of it by the familiar notes of the "plain-sons ciu-k-op gray," as SI uikes it-are calls him.

Accordlns to some accounts tiie ct koo sets oil on his journey southward e.ulier than this, for the I-uicashire folk say: "Tli' first ro. k nf hay ar-ytits- the cm-koo away. .-.fl k- Trttoim cr i, reason, that it.u viiJ .4i koo irst came to iirittauy :t i-li.l a n.:t, like other bit Js, and 4a, ui.-htny touJ or It, too; but a -r-i f h;iy .i;ir.nel to pas over him whi'e h was hopping about the held, so that he was badly crushed. A burnt child dreads the tire, and for a nun ilar re.is.rn no cuckoo can lieucc foitii enduie the sights of hay. The i.ss have an odd notion that the t in koo cun not sins until he lias eaten a hud's egg; I have heard of one whii h kiht-d iw.f by alteuiptins ti swallow a yellow-haniuitT's egg. which would neither go up nor down, but stuck f.it in his tluoat and choked I) 1111. What most pcop'e would have set down as sheer greediness was erhaps only a l.iud.ible desire to cultivate his v.'ii-e; and no doubt the song is right wliu h tells us that " The cu k'M' a fino MrJ.; she 1111.7. a.- Mm- llli a. ilie l.ritiif U4 itmn1 tnlir..T, she t.lii. ua no Iie4, She ML-a. little lur.la' eiriM To make tu-r i.l rl.-ur; .llil when file !liri.ll H uekoo; '1 he it.iiii.-r isi near." The only mistake about this is that the frinale cut ki-o does not sins at all.

Nor is this by any means the worst of the story. No sooner is the young cuckoo out of the shell than he sets to work to jerk ami toss out of the nest any little birds r egs that may h.ipi-en to be there. In a very short space of time the in terloper is completely "king of the castle," and as lusappetif" insatiable, bin little foster-mother 1... enough to do to keep hiui supplied with food. The tiei mans have a proverb, "un grateful as a cuckoo;'' and, gladly as we welcome the herald of spring, we can not help feeling that there are points in lus character the reverse of toinmetul.ibie. The country folks in Sussex say that all the cuckoos are taken care of by an old woman, who. when the winter is over, tills her apron with them. If she is in good temper she lets a large iiuin ler ot them loose on the Utli of April; bit, ii sne Happens to le cross only two or three are allowed to fly away. So if you do not hear the brown bird's cry as soon as you expected you will know that something must have occurred to rutlle the feelings of the old dame in Sussex! The Flench say that the cuckoo is such a vain bird that he will never re peat any thing but his own name; ami the derir.ui children have a piece or otry which relates how a cuckoo stopped a stalling who had just come from town, and asked her what people thought of the nightingale. "The whole town is loud iu lier praises," said the starling. "Aud what aUut the lark?" "Half the city is talking of lit r.'' "Ami the blackbird?" "A few j'op!e say they admire liim." "Well, what do thev say about me?" "Nothing at all." "Oh, then," satd the cuckoo, "I must praise myself. Cuckoo!" Another reason for the bird's mono tonous cry is given by Uev. Charles Sarainstii, who it lis ns the old liohe- mian h uend: "In eai ly times the cuc koo had a crown, 1 ut the lu.oiioe has di- privettherof it. It happened in this wis-: Wheu the birds were about to celebrate a wedding, the hoopoe being selected to give away the bride, aud therefore anxious to add to the dignitv of Its appearance asked the cuckoo to lend him his crow n.

J., disco vdred an other value in its use, which may be very Important. He found that the water which was supplied to the Inhab itants of Mount Holly was swarming with bacteria, about fifteen drops being capable or forming 8,100 colonies or these microscopic germs when spread upon a suitable surface. He tried the experiment of adding a minute amount of alum to this water in the proportion of only half a grain to a gallon, and found that not only were the dirt and coloring matter precipitated, but that Instead of the same quantity of water containing 8.100 colonies of bacteria. It contained only eighty, and Vbna were til yr a urge form. HOUSEHOLD. Spanish Ca k eu Make plain Grr ton cake, and bake it in two shallow pans.

FARM XOTES. Tkaisin-o Tomatoes. n. I. John wii, Iavenworth Co.. Kan., has found the following method ot training to matoes hihly successful in a small gattlen, producing great quantities of verv early and fine fruit; after the plant has become firmly establiebed and bas bejun to throw out small shoots, he wines ns, ths training should com mence. Stakes five feet in length and of the size of stout bean poles should I driven one root In the ground, a few inches from the plant. Then re move all the small shoots that start from the main stalk, being especially careful to leave but one shoot at the u p or the plant. The plant la then to b-j secured to the stake with any kind or coarse twine. The shoots should be pinched in and the stem tied at Inter vals of a foot until it reaches the hlght of the slake, wheu it should be topped. On vines treated in this way none or the early fruit will be lost by rot. and in a small garden much space will be saved, as the plants may be set as close as three (eet apart each way; It also improves the appearance of the garden, lac-dilates picking, andmakes the passage between the vines very easy. JMPI'.OVEMEiT IS FA.RU ForXTRY. Farmers everywhere are realizing the necessity of giving more attention to poultrv. The old proverbial "barn, yard fowls" are rapidly disappeariiig makmg room for thoroughbreds. Many farmers comprehend the fact '.hat there is profit in keeping but one vaiiety of thoroughbred fowls. By systematically selecting toe best birds for breeding purposes, the stock will improve constantly, and the farmer realizes not only the profits of general poultry raising, but iia breeding stock wi.l soon become known, and bring extra piicea. Flvmoulli llock. Wyan dotte, and Iaugsliau stand foremost as all pui pose farmers fowl, while the Java, lioutlan, and Dorking have also strong claims aud meet the general re tiuirements for the farm. Whatever breed Is chosen, success depends upon she careful selection of the breeding stock, in poultry as much as in other farm animals. After the turkeys shall Lave been well fattened thev must be weil dressed in order to command the highest maiket price. No matter how big and fat a box of turkeys may be, if they 1 brui-ed and torn in dressing, or not diessed in the style the market de mands, they will not sell at top prices. Il Cerent markets have some different notions about dressing turkeys, and the only way for you to make sure of suiting your market is to write to the commission house to which you pro pose to chip jour turkeys and get its directions for dressing and packing turkeys for its market. Virginia Is the great peanut-bearing Stale, and most of the crop is grown in the counties south and east of 1 etersburg. After Virginia len nessee and North Carolina produce the largest crops. In 1874 Virginia pro duced Jo,000. Tennessee 175,000, and Xorth Carolina tiO.OUO bushels. In 14 Virginia's crop was 1.250,000 bushels, Tennessee's 000,0JO, and North Carolina s loO.OOO. The aver age yield is forty bushels per acre; the average price 1 a bushel. several yeata ago watermelons were almost unknown In California. An old Missourian, who owned forty acres near Ixxli, and who had raised the fruit in old Missouri, planted his whole lot to melons. His neighbors laughed at the Idea of melons growing without rain, and be was called the boss crank of the country. But the vines thrived and bore melons. 40.000 of them, and he cleared 120.009 from his forty acres; aud now Lodl is the zreat melon district of the Pacific Jlope. Thought is necessary in breeding, and every improvement that a man makes in bis stock is evidence of the improvement of ha own mind. Breed lug is an elevating and developing bus iness. It broadens men, and it Is only a broad man and a man of Intellect that can keep up a herd. Try breed' ing improved stock as a means of keep ing the boys on the farm.

Xo estimate can be given of the great waste of fertilizing matter that is annually carried off by the watei into the sea.

Yocno calves intended for real may receive skim-ruiik until 9 months old and as they grow rapidly to that age tney win pay a larger proht than ir sold younger. The proper way to dispose of the skim-milk Is to feed it to the pigs in the spring and to the calves in the fall. rrofcasor Presttcick, In the second volume of bis geology just issued from the Oxford University press, says that the calculations on which the Glacial Epoch was put back 240,000 years are very defective, as they are based on the rate at which the puny glaciers of the Alps move. But, basing his calcula tions on the rate at which the Green Lnnd glaciers move, be thinks that the time occupied by the great American ice slide need not have been more than from lo.OOO to 25.000 years. And by means or similar observations and cal culations be limits the time for the for mation of the valleys, which followed to 8000 or 10,000 years. Hence the be ginning of the Glacial Fenod may not have been more than 30,000 years ago instead of 240.000, and the close of the period not more than 10,000 years. This makes an immense shrinkage in the antiquity which some ot the geolo gists have claimed for the human race. The defect in all these calculations is tnat it a not known how fast the ice moved in glacial times. Cures nd Prevent fV&&Vlv Sore?UThro'at. 6 V?Jt?.. Hoarseness. Stiff Neck.

From 20.CKX) tenement houses comes 73 per cent, of the mortality of our popu lation, aud I have little doubt as much is 90 per cent, of the offenses against property and ierson. Overcrowding is the one great mis fortune of New York.

It is a not uncommon occurrence that a parasite inhabits different an! mels at different stages of Its growth. This is the case with the small thread worm, syn gamus trachealls, which in feats the windpi)e of the pheasant, pea cock, turkey, duck and other fowls, and often occasions considerable dam age. Mr. Walker, of FrankliiiTille. N. 1'., has recently made some inves tigations on the subject. He finds that the intermediate host of the embryo syngamus is the common earth worm, which In places visited by birds has been found to be beset with these para sites. They are swallowed by the birds along with the worms, and perforating the veiophagus, find their way into the respiratory organs. .During, or lmme d lately arter, this migration the svu gamus attains sexual maturity and attaches itself to the trachea. This happns in six or seven days after it nas been swallowed. In seven days more Its eggs are produced, which axe coughed up by the bird and reach tiie ground, where the embryo emerges in about three weeks. It is swallowed by a worm and remains in its intestinal canal until devoured by a bird. The best method to check this disease is to moisten the soil with brine, which kills both the worms and the embryo syn- gauii wnicn uiey contain, lilrds which have died of this disease shoald be de stroyed ly tire.
