In accept ing tho statement of the society in question as true as to fact, it is not difficult, in a certain measure, to account for the phenomenon referred to.

Select a log of tho desired size from a gum sycomore, or ony other hard timber that does not split readily, writes G. M. Davis, of Wayne County, Illinois. Saw off tho wheels, making them the desired thickness. Then take out the spokes from an old wagon wheel, square the hub, and fit into tho center of the log wheel. Tho wheel is then completect and will last many years on farms, or even for tho road, if well taken care of. Many of these are in use in this vicinity, and ore quito satisfactory. —American Agri culturist. WHEAT HAY FOR COWS. Wheat hay is not a good feed for dairy cows. There aro some other kinds of fodder which are much better, as oats and pea», which will grow where wheat will. Corn is an excel lent fodder, especially when made in to silage. Millet grows well in dry, hot localities, and wheat grain, ground, for the cows, will make an ex cellent addition to those fodders, with Uigur beets or mangels. Thus, there will be no scarcity of crops to take the place of wheat. A silo should be one-fourth deeper than its diameter— thus, if it is twelvo feet square, it should bo fifteen or sixteen feet deep, and, in fact, tho deeper it is tho bet ter all round, as the Bilage pnoks more solidly, and this makes it keep better. Thus, the depth is a matter of con venience mostly—tho greater the bet ter—but it should not bo less than the limit above mentioned. Con is cut for silage when the grain is glazed.— New York Time?. VALUE OF CORN. Considerable difference of opinion exists among 'farmers as to tho num ber of pounds of pork that can bo made from a bushel of corn. Tho es timates run all the way from three to twelve pounds. The amount depends upon the kind of stock, tho weather, the skill of the feeder and other con ditions. Breeds, too, differ in this respect, some showing somewhat greater gains than others, but all tho improved varieties respond moro read ily than tho scrub. It is impossible, therefore, to lay down any regular rule by which to find the pork equiva lent *'of a bushel of corn. Wo are able only to determine tho approxi mate value. In some experiments recently made in this direction it was found that thoroughbred pigs required nearly one thousand pounds of meal to carry them from 100 pounds to 300 pounds in a growing condition and without making them too fat. Greater gains can be made, however, with pigs un der 100 pounds, the tmaller the ani mal the less amount of food being re quired to support its weight while making the gain.—New York World. GRADING ABOUT BUILDINGS. There Is no better timo to do this work than iu tho fall, and thero are few buildings that would not bo the better for more or less work of this kind. At some points, perhaps only a wheelbarrow load or two may be needed, while at others several wagou loads may bo required. For the ben efit of the foundation walls, tho grade should be at least three inches to the foot for at least fivo or six feet, espe cially if there is a cellar losated under tho structure. It not only looks bet ter, but makes the cellar walls firmer, prevents water from 6oaking into the cellar, and renders it warmer in win ter and cooler in summer. Tho earth used for the surface of tho grade should be well enriched, and either sodded over now or grass seed sown and well raked in. About the doors of the barn buildings uso stiff clay or gravel, and stones two or thrco inches in diameter should be placed on the surface and driven into tho soil with a sledge and covered with two inches of soil. Every year again cover the stones that be come exposed. —American Agricultur ist. SHITPING LIVE POULTRY. Country shippers ought to pay more attention to the condition of their coops before using. Considerable stock is lost by shipping in worn out coops which come apart in transit if roughly handled, as sometimes hap pens. Every coop should be carefully examined, aud all bottoms and cleats seonrely nailed. The coops should be strong, but light; heavy wood is un necessary if long nails are used. They should not bo so large as to render handling difficult. The coops should bo high enough to allow tho poultry to ptand easily up right, and should not be overcrowded. Too CIOHO packing and too low coops OTO cruel and cause loss bj» suffocation. Hens and roosters should be shipped separately whenever possible. All poultry for the New York market should be well fattened, and should be fed lightly boforo being placed in the coop, if it reach its destination the day after shipping, ns the New York law requires that the crop bo entirely empty before killing. From more dis tant points provision must be made for feeding and watering in transit. At the beginning of their journey they should bo fed lightly, as over feeding at such time makes the birds sick and dumpish and unfit for tho fa tigue of travel. After the first day or two, when the poultry havo become accustomed to their new quarters, tho supply of food should be increased. All these things should be considered and every caro exercised to have the birds arrive in the best possible con dition, so that thoy may sell readily at the highest prices. It is only good stock that really pays. The shipper who does not get the best market price for his stock should consider seriously where tho fault really lies. —New York World. .KINDS OF TREES FOR SLTADE, Those who wish to plant trees otton ask what kinds of trues tiro the bost to be planted aud the most likely to giv<? general satisfaction as shade and orna mental trees. Here, as in almost everything else, tastes differ, bat we think we are safe in Buying always plant native trees if you wish your work to be permanent and approved by posterity j for troa planting should have tho blessing of those who como after us. We have sUoh an abundance of beautiful native trees that we can have large room for selection. Our sugars and hard maples, our tulip tree and our elms, our lin dens and our sycamore, all make good shade trees in soils well adopted to them, in tho Middle and Northern States. For general jiurposes as beau tiful shade trees we would prefer the sugars and elms and the tulip tree, which is very beautiful tree and a rapid grower if it has a fair chance. The ash trees make a fine growth in an open space, and for roadside shade wo confess a liking to the black wal nut, as well as to the white walnut or butternut, which is a very attractive tree and a rapid grower, but these last must be giown from the nut, as trans planting unless quito small is scarcely evor successful. To these may be added our evergreen?, which may be selected according to the taste of tho planter for the climate in which ho lives. We havo omitted an elegant and favorite tree, "tho magnolia," which is beautifully ornamented when the climate is not too severe. There are so many other native trees, especi ally in the Southern States, which enn be selected that we have only yet to say, do not plant "foreign trees," un less for mere curiosity, and do not plant trees -which prodnco a litter around your premises for half tho summer, or such as send their roots to the surface for forty feet around them, from which myriads of sprouts aie sent up to annoy you. When yon nre ready toplant, which should bo done without delay, deter mine just what yon want to do, and do it well, anil you yourself will havo increased happiness and your children will rise up and call you blessed. It is surprising to us that Georgians should plant china trees and whito mulberry trees, both being pests, when they have such beautiful native growths as our tnlipcfera, or swamp poplar, or our linden or sycamore or even our swamp or native silver pop lar, which is so far superior to the im ported varieties. The tulip trees and our nativo oaks aro the finest, shade trees in tho world. Our nativo elms and maples are supe rior to any imported varieties, and onr sycamores are not only excellent shade trees but aro among tho bost lightning rods ever furnished by art or nature. Farmer?, let tis plant our home trees. —Atlanta Journal. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. New milk will fatten a colt faster than skimmed milk. Fertilizer can bo profitably applied with or without manure,and will moro than pay for their cost. In keeping down tho expenses do not do it by denying wife needed help in tho house. That is tho poorest economy. Care should be taken rot to cloy the appetite of a colt, and when thero is any symptoms of that the feed should be cut down at once. llanuro is recommendod by all ex perienced farmers and experimenters, but it is a scarce article compared with tho area of land to bo covered, unless there is a largo number of animals kept on tho l'urm. If the legs, ankles, joints and pas terns aro strong, and tho colt's ap petite is keen, the grain ration can bo increased to three quarts at a feed throe times a day, especially if ho has regular work to do, either to harness or on the kindergarten. The majority of farmers prefer to use manure, and seldom resort to tho use of fertilizers. They cannot pro duce sufficient manure for a largo farm and manure one field a year. The plan is excellent, but they loso timo by not using fertilizers on thoso fields where no manuro has been ap plied. Those who keep but one cow and save the cream until a sufficiency has accumulated for a churning will not succeed in making choico butter, as it is a mistake to mix the old aud new cream. This is a fact that is fre quently overlooked, and has been tho cause of more failures than anything else. The Russian thistle has moved a little closer to the East, and it is simply a matter of time when it will be established on the Atlantic coast. The railroad cars bring the seeds and scatter them along the lines. Good cultivation destroys it. It is not as severe a pest as the gipsy moth or the potato beetle. A writer in the Chicago Times- Herald recently advocated preserving corn in air-tight bins. He says, and truly, that less caro is taken of the corn crop than of any other grain tho farmer raises. He also holds and en deavors to prove that no other grain is injured more by exposure to storm and other misuse. With many farmers tho most serious problem of life is to get out of debt. The only way to solve it is either to keep down the expenses or to increaso the income, or, if possible, both. The danger is that in endeavoring to in crease the income expenses are in creased to a point that leaves no profit and the debt is as far from beiug paid as ever. The great mistake which farmers make in sowing clover seed under Western conditions is thatthey do net give it a deep enough covering. As to depth of covering, no general rule can be laid down except this, that it must be deep enongh to secure mois- I t ure und not too deep to exclude light. : There is heat enough in the soil in the 1 MIIUMER season at almost any depth j to which it might bo covered io ordl j nnry agricultural operations.

"I have just succeeded in ridding my house of fleos," a correspondent writes, "by swoeping the entire house from top to bottom in one day with salt. I did it all in one day so the fleas would not be carried. Then each day for a few days afterward I brushed up around tho beds and in the nursery ■with salt strewn over tho floor. This trentmont must have been successful, as I see none now, and before, after trying everything else I had heard of, they wore very annoying."—New York Telegram. A LOVELY CRACKER JAI». The decoration of clovers and grasses is well suited for a cracker jar or mar malade dish. Wash in a soft back ground of greens and blues before be ginning to paint it. Use grass green, deep blue green and a bit of yellow, here and there, with a touch of dark green in the shadows. For tho clovers use carmine, No 1 black, and hore and there deep purplo in very limitod quantities. A very faint wash of ultra marine will givo you the soft purplish shadow found in a clover. Use yellow brown, dark green, black and a touch ol violet of iron in tho soft grasses. Keep tho tone of the leaves cool, using grass green, deep blue green, dark greon and black in painting them. Gild the handles and knob on the lid. —New England Homestoad. w THE HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE CONSUMER A Boston physician has invented a vice by which all kitchen garbage may be utilized as fnel. Tho material is put into a dryer through which the hot air from the range circulates un til all the moisture is evaporated. Tho receptacle then contains a quan tity of refuse that is highly inflamma ble and will make excellent kindling, or may be thrown upon tho fire and speedily burns out. This, of coarse, is practicable only whero people burn coal fires. In wood-stoves tho heat is not of tho right quality unless the firo is kept up to a raging pitch. Where gas or electricity or oil is used for heating, this way of disposing of gar bago is out of tho question. There are, however, onough coal-stoves used in our largo cities to make this a mat ter of very great importance. It would pay tho Board of Health to furnish these garbage dryers to every family, and pass the most stringent laws com pelling their uso nnd proper care. Tho most useful plan would be to use the garbage as a fertilizer for worn out lands, but this involves great cost and great danger. Decaying animal and vegetablo matter must bo carted through the streets, drippings fall upon tho pavements, aro dried and whirled by the wind into the nostrils of pedes trians. Where it is possible, garbago should be consumed, and, by the way, a great deal of this isdono when noth ing if said about it. Many families put into tho kitchen range everything of a waste character, and find great econo my in fuel in consequenco.—New York Ledger. RECIPES.
