No stump should be left, but the cut should be made close to tho trunk and the wound should be painted thoroughly after as it has seasoned for a few weeks. Left to de cay in the weather it will soon admit water to the heart of the tree, when rapid and certain destruction follows. Some people make the mistako of painting the wound as soon as it is made. Paint and oil cannot adhere to a wet surface, but will peel off, or will let sap and water blister beneath it, and very soon the application is value less. —New York World. REMEDY FOR ROUP IN FOWLS. This disease is exceedingly con tagious, and is similar in every respect to the diphtheria of persons. It arises from the same causes, viz., poisoning by bad air or dampness, by which the germs of tho disease are encouraged. The remedy lies, first, in removing the cause, making the poultry house clean and dry, and keoping it as warm as may be. The sick birds are treated by giving doses of powdered chlorate of potash, one small pinch of it being dropped iu the throat twice a day. Tho swelled heads are bathed with warm vinegar, and the mouth and throat washed by moans of a soft feather. The house should be well disinfected by burning sulphur in it during the day, keeping it tightly closed for an hour or two while the fumes of the sulphur are acting. All dead birds should be buried deeply, away from the house. —Naw York I imes. TEACHING CALVES TO DRINK. According to F. E. Emery, Agri culturist at the North Carolina Ex periment Station, the successful calf feeder will use more tact than force in teaching a calf to drink. He will never allow a foolish calf to betray him into a passion or display of brute force. Do not allow the calf to suck the whole hand or a single finger, but placing the palm of either hand over its nose, gently bring it to the milk held in a convenient sized pail in the other hand. By separating the fingers hold back-the sides of the tongue and insure the entrance of milk when the calf sucks. If the milk is warm there will be less torouble, then give the calf more, or less, of the two fingeis, according to tho success in keeping it interested in the milk. When the calf is doing well the fingers will scarcoly be touch ing its tongue or lips. If it acts badly give the fingers to suck and contrive to let in a dash of milk so a sup now and then will encourage the oall' to continue. I have been obliged to dip my band i repeatedly into the milk and thus I give a taste of it before the calf would | allow its nose to be turned down into | the pail. Some calves will drink dur- j ing the first to third trial, while | others will need the fingers a much , longer time.—Farm, Field and Fire side. HOW TO GBOW AND SHIP CAULIFLOWER. Cauliflower, like all vegetables of I the brassicft, or cabbage, family, re quires a veiy rich soil. The land should be treated to about eighty two-horse loads of horse manure, or of comported horse aud hog manure to : the acre. This should be plowed un der, care to be taken that the soil be not wet, but in perfect friable and mellow condition. The drills should be about three feet apart and the cul tivation level aud very frequent. There is a hand cultivator which is ! preferable after the plants are about half grown, because horse or mule j would doubtless destroy them if the ' drills be only three feet wide. The object is to have large, compact heads. As soon as these are well formed they nhould be shipped, or the blue or pur ple bloom will form, aud then the heads are unsalable, at fair or good prices. If' necessary, turning the; plant on its roots, say half-way round, 1 will act as a check, ami breaking two or three of the outer leaves over the l already fully formed head will afford % beneficial shade and a little more re tarding-. Only one-third of the leaf is turned over the head, audit is not separated from the main plant. Cauli flower should be shipped in shallow crates, or, if the regular cabbage ! crates be used, pack in tiers so as uot to injure the head. The recently formed refrigerator car lines with ex pert handlers will prove h ad vantage for shippers.—Courier-Jour nal. (WOWING AI.K ALFA.

A bulletin just issued from Cornell University Experiment Station, on the feeding of steers in Texas, shows the following results: Rousted cotton seed do not have the laxative qualities of raw seed and are more palatable. Faster gains are made by feeding tho boiled seed, but at a greater cost per pound gain. The advantages to be gained in tho use of roasted seed hardly justify its general use. Boiled seed are more palatable than raw seed, less laxative and make faster gains. May continue to be used with profit. Steers fed on raw seed, eating a less quantity of seed, ate slightly more hay in consequence. Cotton seed, at usual prices, is a good and cheap addition to corn and hay ration. The best beef ration founV by pre vious experiments—cotton seed meal, hulls and silage, is not here proven the best, when calculated at former prices --raw seed, corn and hay being better. When value of raw seed is raised t<? near market present prices, ten dollarf per ton, the meal, hulls and silagti are again tho best ration; raw seed, corn and hay being next best. The average cost of gain per pound in all lots at present price of food was 3.64 cents. The cheapest feed per pound gained for all steers fed, when raw cotton seed is valued at $lO per ton, was raw seed, corn and hay. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Leghorns are among the very best of layers. Set the first clutches of duck eggs under a ben. Proper shelter from storms means regular, even fleeces. It will pay every grower to learn thoroughly to grade wool. Burs in the pasture are very expen sive. Oet rid of them. The less water there is in butter the fewer odors it will absorb. The best way to keep root crops is to pack them in sand and putin tho cellar. Put the perches far enough away from the doors or windows to avoid draught. Eggs often have a bad flavor from the food the hens eat. It is well to bear thi* in mind. Have the nests so low that the hens can step in. If they jump iu they are apt to break the eggs. If the young stock is to be used for breeding it should always be selected from the earliest hatches. Cowsare uot kept for their company, therefore why let them go dry four to six months out of the year. Early manuring is simply impossible if the animals are stinted while they are forming bone and muscle. The production of eggs is a great drain on a lien's vitality. Therefore, the laying hens should be well fed. Whether hatched in an incubator or under a hen, do not feed the chicken# until they are twenty-four hours old. It never pays to offer a horse for sale in poor condition. It does not pay to keep a horse in poor condition. Fourteen million of the inhabitants of France have farms of twenty acres or less from which they manage to obtain n living. Young turkeys are naturally tender. There is no advantage in hatching them out until the weather is reason ably well settled. Provide all the setting hens with comfortable ijuarters and see that their feathers are well dusted with in sect powder before starting them. If a colt is broken to harness when he is full of life and spirit, he will be more reliable than if haudled in the same way when weak anil half fed. If they are made comfortable and kept in good condition some of the hens will want to set this mouth. It will be worth while to make them com fortable. Exp«rimonts will show that it is a mistake to feed more than ten pounds of beet pulp per day to pigs. Under all circumstances the pulp must Vie combiued with other fodder. Place a box of salt near the water ing trough so the horses can lick it whenever they goto drink. This is preferable to the usual method of salt iug the farm horses ouce a week. In making butter there is uo ueces sity for manipulating it with your hands, as juiine iguorautly do. A wooden ladle is the proper utensil to use for working aud liaudliug thin product. Ducklings are much more easily fed than young chickens Nothing »eeue to disagtee with them as long as it i» ►«ret.

The wonderful mechanism of ani mals, as Jeremiah Head, mentioned in his British Association address, can be l»ut imperfectly imitated here and there in the works of man, although man has greatly enlarged his powers by the artificial devices. By the com bination of his natural capacities with the mechanical aids, he has been en abled to compete successfully in dif ferent sphere of action with other and specially endowed animals. The bodily frame of man is adapted only for life and movement near the earth's sur face. Without mechanical aid ho can walk for several hours at an ordinary speed of three to four miles an hour, and under exceptional circumstances he has accomplished over eight miles in one hour, and an average of two and three quarter miles an hour for 141 hours. In running he has covered about lit miles in an hour. In its power to withstand diverse and exces sive strain, the human mochanism is quite unapproachable by artificial constructions. While fitted for an ex ternal pressure of about fifteen pounds per square inch, man has been able to ascend in balloons to a heightli of seven miles, breathing air at a pressure of three and a half pounds per square inch; and, on the other liand, has safely dived eighty feet be neath the water's surface, where the extra pressure has reached about thirty six pounds per square inch. No ani mal buirows downward into the earth to a greater depth than eight foot.— Trenton (N. J.) American. Ilow Suirnr is Re fined. The method used by tho best sugar refineries is substantially as follows : The raw sugar is dissolved in large cisterns on the ground floor, enough hot water being added to produce a specific gravity of 1.25. The solution is then drawn through a connecting pipe having a coarse wire strainer in to large pumps, by which it is pumped into the highest story of the building, usually the seventh or eighth. It there paasos into vessels heated by steam coils to a temperature of about 210 degrees. Milk of lime is added to the solution in these pans for the purpose of neutralizing any acid which it may contain. From these puns the liquid passes dowu to the next floor, where it is filtered through a series of bags, each made of two thicknesses of cloth, an outer one of coarse and an inner one of fine cotton. The bags are en closed in boxes to prevent cooling. After leaving these the syrup is run through filters of bono black, which absorb all tho coloring matter left in it. After leaving these, it is pumped iuto vacuum pans, largo vessels heated by steam and exhausted by air pumps. The pressure being thus reduced tho liquid is boiled at a lower tempera ture, until, at 140 degrees, evapora tion is completed and the syrup rupidly crystallizes into sugar. This is the process by which the best whito sugar is made, while poorer qualities are prepared by a method less complete. —Boston Cultivator.

Electricity has recently been util ized for purposes of fishing. A net of cardinal, as it is called, which was nearly 1300 feet long, and is used for catching sardines, was taken, and an oleotric cable with dynamite cartridges at intervals of fifty feet, was placed upon the edge of it. The cable was connected with an electric battery up < a the tor pedo boat in such a way that all the cartridges might be fired simultaneously. The net was let down at five in tho morning in very deep water, and before this was done tho neighboring fishermen had been asked not togo ont, in order that thero might be nothing to disturb tho por poises. About an hour after the net had been let down, the pospoises came up in large numbers, and when a good many fish had been got into tho net, there were about eighty just around it. The cartridges were then fired, and the explosion was so effective that one only of tho eighty porpoises escaped, whilo tho boats in tho vicinity felt no shock, and the water was very little disturbed. —lnvention. How to I'nre a Klack Eye. Tho Medical Times some time ago gave this antedote for a black eye: There is nothing to compare with a tincture or strong infusion of capsicum annuum, mixed with an equal bulk of mucilage or gum arabic, and with tho addition of a few drops of glycerine. This should be painted all over the bruised surface with a camel's hair pencil and allowed to dry on, a second or third coating boing applied as soon as tho first is dry. If done as soon as tho injury is inflicted the treatment will invariably prevent the blackening of the abused tissue. The same remedy has no equal in rheumatic, sore or stiff nock. Ental Field tor Missionaries. Sierra Leone, on tho west coast of Africa, has sometimes been styled the •'White Man's Grave," and no fewer than three Bishops in succession died within three years of their consecra tion. In the first twenty years of the mission's existence fifty-three mission aries or missionaries' wives died at their posts. In 1823, out of five mis sionaries who went out, four died within six months; in the next year six volunteers were accepted, and of these two died within four months of their landing. These losses seemed to draw out more zeal, for next year three) more went forth, of whom two die'l within six months.—Boston Post. Many times women call on their family tihysicians, suffering, as thsy imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, another from liver or kidnoy disoose, another from nervous exhaustion, or prostration, another with pain here and there, and in this way they all present, alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent, or over busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases, for which be prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, then are all only symptoms caused by some womb disorder.

Tho mode of execution by the gar otto seems to have been originally de vised by the Moors and Arabs, and to have been taken from them by tho Spaniards, by whom it has been trans mitted to the Spanish colonies in America. In the earliest form it con sisted in simply plaoing a cord round the neck of the criminal, who was seated on a chair fixed to a post, and then twisting the cord by means of a stick inserted botween it and the back of tho neck till strangulation was pro duced. Afterward a brass collar was used containing a screw, which the executioner turned till its point en tered the spinal marrow where it unites with the brain, causing instant death.

Cwn- HIM $•««• MCMM t(i» U« of SAPOLIO Height ot Man in the Year 4000 A. I), De Moreal, tho French statistician' has been figuring on the gradual diminution of height in tho human family with some astonishing results. He finds that in the year 1610 the average height of man was 1.75 meters, or about five feet nine inches. In 1790 it was five feet six inches ; in 1820, five feet five inches. At the present time it is but five feet 3; inches. From these figures it is easy to deduce the rate of regular and gradual decline in human stature. Figuring both ways from the present we find that tho height of man"in tho beginning" was sixteen feet nine inches, aud that tho average man of the year 4000 A. D. will be less than fifteen inches high ! —St. Louis Re public. Gutta percha was first introduced into Europe from Malaga in 185'2.
