ABOUT THE FAEM. Hints for Farmers and Bus? Housewives to Appreciate The evil of frequent and inexcessive pruning is an unusually large growth of suckers. These should be cut out at least once a year, and if it had not been done during the growing season, lv snoum be attended to now. New sprouts will start back of the cut next spring, even if no buds are left in sight, but pulling those off with the thumb and finger when they get into iuii ieai win usually end the trouble, A slight check when the tree is in leaf will do it no harm, wliile it might serf- uusly injure its vigor to let alio entire neglected growth get into leaf befr '.utting it out. , Late reports from California do not give very roseate views of the pros pects of growing ostri'-hes for profit.

Therefore they take their chances and live in ignorance of its na ture and fear of its approach. There are many causes of fatal epidemics among swine and many forms of dis ease that are called cholera, but whether that name is broad enough to cover the whole or the various forms should have special names, we will not attempt to decide. Hut we arc of the opinion that if one of the rules of health that are admitted to be absolutely necessary in the care of other stock were applied to tho care of swine, there would be less disease among them than among any other animal. Swine are expected to live and thrive on what nothing else will eat. 'When any article of food becomes sour or rotten it goes into the swill-tub. De cayed vegetables, mouldy coin, putrid meat, and many other things that should be buried at once, find their way into tho pig trough. Then when di.ease breaks out it is a nystori.us dispensation of 1'rovideneo. Another ieaiure 01 me case is mat pigs are often kept in the mud or on frozen filth with no dry spot to lie down on, and often on tho excrement of other animals, where pure air is out of the question. A striking instance of this came under our observation several years ago. Wo wero looking at tho stock at the Soldiers' home at Togus, Me., and in a cellar under the hore stable, we found about 1 10 l'.erkshiro pigs. The placo was supposed to be lighted by a row of small windows s. near the sill of tho building that tho sun never shone on the botlorn, and the dust and cobwebs hail made them almost as useless as a board. The bottom of the pons were all covered with mud, and thin mud, an inch deep, that had dripped from the sides ami legs of the pigs was the nearest to a dry spot they had on the platform where the nest should have been. There were at that time over f00 men in tho institution, and these piirs were fed with the waste from the tables; good, clean food. The owner expressed some surprise that the pu did not do better, but as we soon found that he was ono of those who think pigs enjoy tilth, we said but little. A few years later we called there again, ami while looking about the buildings, we asked the farm superintendent where the pus wero. lie said they could not keep pigs there. They had lost $.")000 by disease among swino since tho institution started and had to give it up. There was some mystery about It. AVe asked what was done with tho waste from tho kitchen and tables, and he said a man near Aii"ii(a bought it by the barrel for his pigs. AVe soon vision tho man who bought the swill to see how his pigs looked. The man in charge of the barns pointed to a door opening into a basement under the barn and said we would find them in there. On opening this door there was nothing to be seen but a bed of clean straw. Starting to go across to look in another place we stepped on a pig and he gave a grunt and crawled out, and in half a minute about 30 rose up out of the straw, like the followers of Koderic Ilm. They were dry, clean, fat and contented and would weigh about 20 pounds each. These pigs were fed on the same food as those which had died by wholesale till the loss was $.,000. and the food being exactly the same we must look else where for the cause of the dillerence in success. And we think it was in th .t pile of straw and the dry, well lighted room. .-viler a thorough investigation as to die cause of rust in wheat and other grains, the tuielpli ((Int.) Agricultur al College has arrived at the following conclusions: 1. Seasons are the chief cause of rust; sudden changes of tem (o rat lire, and rain, accompanied by close, still weather, are favorable to its increase. 2. Low-lying, rich soils are most subject to attack. 3. An ex cessive use of manures rich in nitrogen encourages the disease. 4. Late-sown grain is most subject to attacks. 5.

Tet thii is the branch of the farmer' businsss that person with the smallest experience think themselTes competent to under take. They suppose they know how to feed chickens, and to But m houses for them, expecting that with these at- tentions the fowls will do the rest. It requires long experience to learn just how to feed fowls. It depends much on their breed, condition and the season of the year. If so much skill were not required poultry keepine would not be the profitable business it is for those who understand it. This is precisely the reason why novices should begin it with caution and learn as they increase the business. In the prize crop contest proposed by the Barker Fertilizer Company and the Agriculturist last spring, the grand prize of $ 1 100 in gold has been award ed to Charles II. Coy of Aroostook county, Me., for the largest yield of potatoes on a single acre. The yield was 738 bushels twenty-five pounds of the Dakota Ked variety, cut in two eyes, dropped twelve inches apart, in rows 2 3-4 feet apart, on a strong clay loam, fertilized with 1100 pounds of Stockbridge potato manure in the drill, and 900 pounds worked into the soil at the firrt hoeing. Many manufacturers are making a fertilizer containing large quantities of plant food in unavailable forms, cost ing but little, but such fertilizers only serve the purpose of misleading the chemists into giving high analyses and valuations, and while the chemists may be misled the crop never can be, and the crop is the final arbiter. The best special fertilizers are the cheapest in the end, as "there is no cheating tho plant." Tho manufacturers of the Stock bridge manures claim to make these manures of tho very best material, and that hence when put to the test, wheth er in field or laboratory, they seldom fail to respond in a satisfactory man ner, and as these manures in this trial not onlv produced the largest single crop of potatoes, but also the largest crop raised on fertilizers in the oat contest, it would seem that their claim was substantiated by the field test, which really is the only practical one Another important point iu this con nection is that on the great majority of soils, coinplcto high-grade special po tato fertilizers, like the above, are superior to stable manure for potatoes, and as the largest vield on stable man ure either alone or with fertilizers was only 491 bushels, it is no doubt truo hat high-grade, properly made fertil izers are the manures for this crop. both for producing yield and quality, Farm Notes.

Some of them are so scientilic that they sav that the pollen from tho former, if it is cut while iu bloom causes the dust which arises in the barn when the hay is handled.

"We hold these truths to be self evident," wrote Thomas Jefferson, "That all men are created equal; that they are en. lowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights: that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these righto governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of t:ie governed." Aow it is a singular fact that at the time the Declaration of Independence was promulgated these truths were by no means "self-evident," indeed a pre it many colonists, in common with tue rovalista, held exactly the contrary View. Jt is not difficult to trace the rise of nations. First, the little colony, all of one family, or nearly rela'ed; then the village, with an elective ch ef ; then district, with an hereditary ruler. and finally a nation, with a king, or perhaps an autocrat there la not the slighest doubt that j the beginning all men were enual and that governments did derive their powers from the consent of the people governed, bnt when Thomas Jefferson wrote these truths bad. long since been forgotten. i rom fear, ignorance or motives of elf-interest, it was held by the vast majority of mankind that the king was the source of all power; that liberty and the pursuit of happiness, even life itaelf, was a gift from the king; and that all men were created in classes, ar ranged like a pyramid, with the king on top, and every olaas having the right to oppress all others below it. JNot only did the rnlincr classes, as (hey were called, believe in these ideas. but the peaants, the lowest class of all, dutifully accepted such teaching, and submitted to fate with only slight mur muring. It was this state of affairs that the Revolutionary leaders were confronted with. At different periods in the world s history, the people had risen and deposed or killed their rn era, and there hail been republics formed, but the people had never before dared to assert or strive to maintain that they were the source of power, and the De claration ot independence was unique. At the preseut day tho condition of affairs has been almost completely re versed, witn the exception of Orien tal countries, or those still sunk in bar barism, the majority of maukind vigor ously deny the divine right of kind's. Even in Kuss a, nhere the Czar rules with autocratic power, the people are not deceived; they submit, s mplv be cause tue times are not yet ripe lor re volt. W ith this single exception, all civil ized people have now established their right to" make the laws that govern them; and, except the Czar, all rulers have admitted that they derive their jnst powers lrom the consent of the governed. .Better than a1!, we have to chronicle the wonderful (growth of true republics jand the consequent duwntall of mon archies.

Terr few mothers realize the ne- t nf rarinc for and properly pre' serving a child's first teeth, so that they shall drop naturally out 01 uie jaw, without deoav, when the time comes. As soon as the child is able to eat solid food the teeth should be takeu note of. When the little one is three or four there will often be decayed spots in the teeth. These cavities should be treated at once by a dentist, and filled with the soft, temporary cemeat, such as dent tiats use for this purpose. This care of the first teeth not only prevents the child's acnte suffering with toothache, but it keeps the mouth in a cleanly, wbolesome conuiuon, wuicu wu to sound bodily health. The pretence in the mouths of little children of foully decayed teeth is given, on trust wnrtli unthoritv. aa a freauent cause of diphtheritic and other fungoid dis eases. Were it not lor inese retmuuo, it would still be desirable to preserve them to the projer time; for where the teeth are removed too early the jaw does not enlartre further, and when the ivrnianent teeth come in there is not room for them. This a fruitful cause for tliA lnmiitiff and urotudincr teeth which are so often seen and are exceed ingly nclv. The first permanent teeth come in when the child is aooui six yeara ui age. TLese are molars, and they oome lui-k of the milk teeth. A few years aft. r the child begins to feel the front teeth iooHenini?: and when the Un;tti have been properly attended to, these teeth may be taken out by the child with its own fingers, with littlo or no loss of blood. The permanent tooth is undurneath, and it is pushing against the milk tooth and absorbing tue root, that causes the milk tooth to come out. The writer has seen children take out their canine tooth (.the eye and stomach teeth) with their fingers, in perfectly sound condition, the root havins; been entirely absorbed by tho new teetn. Children whose lirst teeth have been thoroughly cared for have stronger and better teeth when the permanent teeth come. At least once in six monthB a mother should examine the teeth of her children with au eye to jiossible cavitica, and when necessary, see a dentist without delav. Nothing is more absurd than to toll a child who is put into a dentist's chair that he is not to be hurt Tell him firmly that he will, be hurt, bnt that the pain will last but a short time and he must bear it bravely.
