SHEEP LICKING EACH OTHER. Usually when sheep bite and tear heir own wool it indicates some disturb ng irritation of tho skin, but this is lardly likely to cause sheep to tear each ither'g wool, and yet it may be, for ani aals have a of knowing what oth irs want. It is possible that this habit nay be due to a want of salt, as the perspiration of the skin of an animal is ilways more or less salt. It might stop be habit to give the sheep a liberal |uantity of salt if they have not been upplied heretofore. If they have, givo 1 dose of one ounce of epsom salts to *ch of the flock.—New York Times. (IQUID MANURE FOR FLOWERING PLANTS. Flowers will be produced more freely i the plants are regularly watered with tome liquid manure. This lu-ty bo done lafely as follows: Some good manure nixed with poultry droppings, or some irtificial fertili/.cr (nitrate ot soda is the )est), is putin a barrel and steeped ia srater. The barrel should be kept full, md not more than two pounds of t.he fertilizer or half a bushel of the manure ihould goto a barrel of water. A pint of this liquid is poured on tho soil iround the plant every evening during ihe season. If }he weather is dry the proportion of water should be doubled md a quart of the diluted liquid given. —American Farmer. BOALY LEO IN POULTRY. The scaly leg is caused by the pres ence of a small insect that gets beneath the scales, and it is therefore contagious, but it spreads, ns do all vermin, more rapidly where proper care is not taken to keep the roosts and nests clean, and where the manure is allowed to lie and ferment under the roosts. To extermi nate it, begiu by bathing the legs well twice a day in olive oil, or still better in a mixture of one quart of skimmed milk and a teacupful of kerosene oil, wiping dry after the bath. As good a way is to put the mixture in a dish and then force the fowl to staud in it a few minutes. While this treatment is going on they should have dry quartern, and be kept from running out in the wet grass, aud should be well fed. The nests and roosts should be blushed with kerosene, and all filth taken out of the henhouse. In a few days those scales will couie off, but care should be taken for a while to prevent taking cold, lest it develop leg weakness or rheumatism. A little of the Douglass mixture iu tho water will be good for them at this timo.—Boston Cultivator. GOOD WALKS FOR THE FARM. Most farm premises are not adequate ly provided with properly made walks. The footpath from the front gate to the house, and from the house to the barn should be covered with somo better ma terial than dirt. In a section where flat stones can be easily obtained they will make the most economical aud durable walk. They need not be wide enough to reach across the walk, but may be laid side by side until the desired width Is obtained. Cobble stono may be used. In making a stone walk bank the earth at least two inches above the level, and press the stones firmly into this bank. Round stones should be two inches or less in diameter, and pounded down with a sledge. It will be difficult to keep the grass out of this walk unless salt, or very strong brine, is frequently scattered over it. Gravel, when easily obtainable, makes a durablo and cheap walk, and one that is always dry. Tho foundation should bo excavated to the depth of at least one toot, and filled with small or broken stone to within six Inches of the top, theu fill the remain der with gravel, making the top a little rounding. The gravel should have been previously freed from all earth by sift ing or washing. Next to flat stone, plank walks are the cheapest and best. If planks are laid leugthwise of the walk, they should be firmly spiked at the ends to pieces of some durable wood sunk in the soil, and if such pieces and the low er sides of the planks are coated with several applications of crude petroleum, they will last much longer. Inch boards may be used instead of plank. The walk from the bam to the house is the most important, as it is trom this source that the most mud is tracked in to the house. If dry walks are provided the housewife will each year be saved many hours of hard, disagreeable work in cleaning the kitchen floor.— American Agriculturist. PREPARING FOR TIIE FALL SEEDISO. After tho harvest is over and men aud teams have rested a few days, tho oat stubble and the second crop clover ground, intended lor seeding early this fall, should be turned over, writes F. Sanderson of lialtiinore, Md. The land must be plowed iu time so that the atubblo may rot, and also that the soil may become settled and tirin be fore seeding. All practical furtners have long since come to the conclusion that the early plowed land kept mellow by the free use of the harrow aud roller, but firm underneath, yields the most most grain and the best quality. Iu our limestone districts, uotahly in tbe Cumbeilaiid Valley, tiie corn lau I is mostly drilled to wheut. Tliu corn ripens early, some years as early as September Sth. It is cut off by contract at $1.25 to $1 SO per ai re, and pKccd in shock, sixteen corn rows making one row of shocks, and these shocks are securely tied. The corn ground is thorou lily harrowed and then rolled. The wheat drill follows the roller, putnu ; iu 1) bushels ol wheat aud if."l > | un Nof tome standard fertiliser pei acre. l itis coru ground wheat will produce front tweuty to thirty bushels per acre, aud 111 lome exceptional cases as much as forty bushel* |«r acre has bee< t>roluced upon fields ranging from thill) to Hit} o< iu» in elteut. lint few of us have limrstone land, our can we obtain such 1 >1 >rtitnu> tie!

The advantages these plows have over the old hand plow is much more and better work; the land is evenly turned over at a uniform depth and no skips or missed places left. Tho plow being supported On wheels is not so hard on the team, nor on the plowman, who ridos instead of walking, and having tho free use of his hands, can manago his team much better. Two such plows will turn over with ease three acres per day. After the plowiug is thoroughly done the next point is to have the soil made mel low and free of lumps—not only on tho surface, but some three or more inches below the surface. This fiuing of the soil can only be done by first harrowing with tho three horse spring tooth har row, followed by the roller. This firms the ground. In two weeks' time harrow again, crossing the field the second time, and just before seeding harrow once more, then roll, and follow with the drill, using one aud a half bushels of wheat and from 250 to 300 lbs. of dis solved bone per acre. We always aim to putin about twenty acres of wheat each season after tho above manner, and aim to get it in by the 20th of September, and rarely fail of haviug an extra good crop. We think the early plowing and thorough preparation of tho soil have much to do with this abundant yield. I write this so my brother farmers may try this plan.—New York Independent. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. The effect of warm weather is found in the egg basket. Do not frighten the hens, as it dimin ishes the egg supply. The largest kind of matured corn is the best to convert into ensilage. In arranging the poultry house have both the nests and the roosts low. One of the worst mistakes that poultry beginners can make is too close in-breed- In nearly all cases the fowls can be fattened on soft food faster than on hard grain. When the poultry are confined a por tion of the run should be spaded up daily. With all kinds of poultry it is the morning meal that is the most important; give it early. One of the best ways of fattening geese rapidly is to feei tiiem boiled oati with plenty of milk. A good way to break a hen of wanting to set is to put her in a strange yard with a young cockerel. A cow should be fed all the clover she can eat, which will be in the neighbor hood of five pounds per day. Select tho turkey Leas wanted for breeding. The hens should not be kept after they are three years old. Now is the time whon the fowls relis'.i green food. Give thein plenty of it bud less grain rations—especially corn. Care should be taken that tho fowls do not lay on too much fat. Be careful in feeding, and there will be no danger. When the feeding is done at regular hours tho fowls soon get accustomed to it, and will kuow when tbe time comes. Many consider that boiling the milk before feeding it to tho poultry increases its value and lessens the risk of disease. The fowls losing their feathers is ofteu caused by waut of green food or of a dust bath. See that both aro supplied. One reason why there is such a large amount of poor butter is that the cream is allowed to stand too loug before it is churned. In feediug a considerable saving might be made if the keeper would re member that what makes fat does not make eggs. Old stock of any kiud is unprofitable. Every season enough young poultry should be selected from what is raised to take the place of the old. The farm fowl should be of a good size, a good table fowl, good layer, con stitutionally strong aud well adapted to stand the rough usage of the farm. No cow was ever a good dairy cow that was not born so, but thousands of cows that were born so have been spoiled by poor aud unwise handling. A thrifty tree that fails to bear should , be root-pruned. A trench dug about it, \ aad filled partly with rubbish, will effect important and profitable changes for the ! better. Boot-pruning checks growth 1 aud develops fruit buds. It i9 au old remedy, but not as ofteu resorted to as it should be. As the wheat and other small grain ripens, their sap dries, cuttiug off the food supply of tho chinch bugs, which j thereupon often migrate to the juicy stalks of the cornfield. This migration cau be prevented by plowiug a strip some rods wide betweeu the small grain and the cern, as tho chinch bugs an loth to cross laud devoid of vegetatiou. Farm stock is often kept too long foi profit. Sheep decline very rapidly aftei six years old, and are best sold at five Cuws may retain their usefulness uuti twelve. Cattle and theejt ere told foi meat, but with horset it is different. A horse that has beeu a good aud faithlu servant for luuuy yean is olteu kept uu 1 til he dies, whieh is better than | hiin for a mere pittance, to be abuse I the remainder ol his life.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIttS. TOMATO BALAD. Pare smooth ripe tomatoes that have been in an ice box half an hour, cut in thick slices and putin a circle on a platter, on each slice drop a teaspoonful of mayonnaise dressing. Garnish the dish with parsley and put small bits be tween the slices of tomatoes. This is a handsome dish as well as appetizing.— Tho Housewife. PEACH COBBLERS. Fill a shallow pudding dish or deep iarthen pie-plate with ripe, peeled poaches, leaving in the pits to increase the flavor of the fruit. Add cold water snough to half fill the dish, and cover the whole with a light paste rolled to twico the thickness used lor pies. Cut slits across the middle, prick with a fork and bake in a slow oven about three-quarters of an hour. The peaches should be sugared according to one's taste before putting 011 tho upper cru3t. Eat with cream.—Detroit Free Press. A DELICIOUS PIE. "There was to be company to dinner," says a writer in tho Housekeeper's Weekly. "I was making pies and wauted something better than or a little different from the ordinary rhubard pies of which we had had so mauy. Acting on the impulse I lined a deep plate with rich paste (it must be rich for all acid pies, as it toughens in cookiDg), I rubbed the crust with flour and put a layer of dates, stoned and cut in pieces, ten or twelve to an ordinary sized pie. I then filled tho plate with pulled and sliced rhubarb, adding a trifle of salt and three heaping tablespoonfuls of sugar mixed with one spoonful of flour. A top crust was added and the pic looked as usual. It was simply delicious aud the flavor was so unique. Every one praised it aud iuquiicd as to the tilling." MARROW TOAST. Marrow toast is a delicious and inex pensive relish for tea or luncheon. Buy a large shin bono and have the butcher split it, theu take out the rnarrtw in one piece. Cut the marrow into slices au inch thick and set aside. Mix in a hot dish a teaspoonful of chopped parsley, the same quantity of lemon juice, half a teaspoonful of salt, a grain of cayenne, and several drops of onion juice. Also have in the oveu several squares of toast, crisp aud browned evenly. Cook the marrow rapidly ninety seconds, boiling it in a quart of salted water. Drain the marrow thoroughly and mix it with the seasoning in the hot dish. Spread on the toast and serve. Toast, marrow, and seasoning must be hot when sent to the table, and eaten before they cool. VEAL CROQUETTES. Take two pounds of the veal fro u which the soup was made, chop tiue, re moving all gristle and fat. To every pint allow half a pint of new milk, one teaspoonful of butter, one of chopped parsley, two of flour, one teaspoonful of tiuely-minced onions, one teaspoonful of salt, half a grated nutmeg, a pinch of cayenne and a little black pepper. Put the milk in a saucepan and set on the stove; rub the butter and flour together aud stir in the boiling milk; when thick take from the fire, add the chopped meat and beat until well mixed, putin the seasoning, spread out on a larger dish to cool. When firm, form in cro quettes. Dip first in beaten egg and then in bread crumbs, and fry in boil ing fat. Serve hot, garnished with pir sley.—New York Commercial Adver tiser.

Captain William A. Andrews, already famous for his daring ail ventures in small boats on the stormy Atlantic, has again set sail on a novel and interesting voyage. He crossed the ocean twice before, first In the "Nautilus," when he was accompanied by his brother, who has since died, and again in the "Mermaid," both of these trips being made to Land's End, England. A few years ago he again attempted the pas sage in a boat called tho "Dark Secret," hut, after battling with contrary winds, high seas and terrific storm?, he reluctantly consented to give up his efforts after a struggle of sixty-two days, and returned to America on a hark which kindly to take him and his sm-beateu boat back to New York. The captain is a very interesting charac ter. lie is a man of fixed purposes, very hard to turn from the obj#ct he has in view. He has mado the subject of small boat sail ing such a study that ho is prepared to meet every argument against the risks which spring to the minds of his critics, yet the New York Herald put the cass in a nut shell when it said: "The fact that Capt. Andrews can cross the ocean in a ojckle shell merely proves tbnt small holts are safe when a Capt. Andrews sails them. Ama teurs should remember this when the wind begins to swig." The Captain himself says that "half the people who are drowned lose their lives be cause they do not realize that a boat cannot sink. An iron vessel might, or a ship loaded with a heavy cargo, but a row boat, sail boat or ordinary woo len vessel may capsize, but will, nevertheless, float. The passengers on the great ocean steamers run some risk when they goto sen, but all nroun 1 the deck they see wooden floats hung up on which they are taught to depend for their lives it the big steamer goes down. Thess boats Bre often crushed against tho great vessel or are capsized in lowering. 1 am alone in a wooilen boat entirely under my own con trol, an I, in my opinion, far safer than others." An ingenious theory but hardly a fair one. Capt. An irews is by trade a p!anafl®%«ii Ho built the "Sapolio" at Atlantic City in the presence of hundrelsof people, anl ex hibited it on the Long Pier for several weeks. It is a canvas folding boat lined ~- r^r with half inch cedar an 1 deckel over with the same. In order t> fold it there must be three long canvas hinges fron stem to stern, and the daring Captain writes by an incom ing ship (when he is hundrels of miles from shore) that he finds the " \Sn polio' in a sea way is a scrubber but very leaky." No bet ter proof of his coolness and pluck could be given. The start was made a* 4:10 Wednesday, Ju'y -oth, the destination living l'alos, Spain. Captain An Irews has instru tior.s to s.'our the seas until he discovers that port and the start'ng point of Columbus.

The smelting and refining of the floors of tho factory of a wntch company's es tablishment, on Bond street, near Broad way, was completed the other day and proved to be one of the largest contracts ! of the kind ever undertaken in America. When the watch company decided last spring to abandon case making tho proprietors agreed with the refiners to have the floors of the building on Bond street, where they had been for nineteen years, worked up for the precious metals they might contain, and contracted tho job on a percentage of the value of tho gold aud silver reclaimed. The contractors took up three floors and part of another, cut the boards into lengths that would admit of their being ensily handled, and carted them of! to their works. litre the boards were burned and the ashes subjected to the process of refining.

"August Flower" " I am ready to testify under oath that if it had not been for August Klower I should have died before this. Eight years ago I was taken sick, and suffered as no one but a dyspeptic can. I employed three of our best doctors and received no benefit. They told me that I had heart, kidney, and liver trouble. Everything I ate distressed me so that I had to throw it up. Augus Flower cured me. There is no med icine equal to it." Lorenzo F.
