TO FARM AND GARDEN.
The Value of Pond Muck.
Pond muck varies considerably in
character as the nature of the soil from
^rtich it is derived differs and the quantity
of organic matter in it. It usually
contains a large proportion of mineral
matter derived from the washing of the
aoil, and the organic matter varies as the
pond may have contained various kinds
Of animal matter and aquatic plants.
Usually it contains about as much fertilizing
matter as common yard manure;
hence it is well worth the trouble of
draining off the water and gathering the
fediment It should be composted with
lime and coarse litter and left to decompose
three or four months, after which it
. makes a very seful top dressing for grass
lands. ?Jfictr ivrk Titties.
Overfed Fowls.
The farmer, by the exclusive use of
corn, so overfats his fowlsas to get few,
if any eggs; those he does get being of
email size compared to the normal size
for the breed. Com has but 11 per cent,
of muscle and 72 per cent of fat. Of
course a Brahma, fat and smoooth in
plumage, makes a fine picture and a fine
ahow specimen, but, like the race-horse,
all this surplus fat must be reduced before,
like him, their performance will be j
creditable.
Fowls to breed well, and to lay good-;
sized eggs and an abundance of them, j
must be in fair flesh only, The food j
should be oats, wheat. mo.al and vegeta- |
bles, with but little corn; exercise may |be
secured, if the fowls are cooped up,
by compelling them to scratch for their
afternoon food, or by allowing them to
Toam the fields for thedr afternoon meal.
Birds shut up close all winter, having
'had no sulphur, fed largely on corn, with >
but little animal food, and little if any i
exercise, will not lay eggs that will hatch, j

To Grow Stiawbfrries.
The main points involved in the sue-!
cessful culture of -this fruit, as rec-og-!
nized by our best cultivators., are ai fol.
lows:
1. Prepare li?e ground by deep plowing
and subsoiling; apply a dressing of
rotted manure equal >to twenty cords per
; acre; spread it over the ground and mix
with the surface soil by repeated and
thorough disintegration with a harrow.
The best crops are produced on strong,

2. Give the plants plenty of space. The I
rows should ?at be less than thirty inches I
part, and the plants about half that distance
between each other in the rows.
8. Remove all runners as they appear,
nd keep the surface well pulverized and ;
clean during summer after the crop has
been gathered in old plantations?the
Bame cleanly treatment applying to new- ,
)y set out plants. If young plants are !
wanted, keep a portion of the plantation
for that purpose.
4. Cover ti>e plants in winter,after the !
freezing weather sets in, -with straw, i
leaves, or other similiar material, as a i
partial protection from injury by frost.
' 5. Do not disturb the roots by any process
of cultivation from the month of
September until after the crop has been
gathered.
ti. Make a new plantation every year,
and destrov the old ulants after thev
have produced a second crop.
Ticks -on Sheep.
Mr. Stephen Powers, in his recently |
published work an the American merino, !
says: "The sheep of the careless farmer
is nearly always infested with the tick !
(Melophagus ovie) and less frequently j
with the louse.When the number of |
ticks becomes very large they prevent:
growth in lambs or the making of much !
flesh on the older animals. The best;
mode of eradicating ticks, lice, and itch
among sheep is to dip them soon after |
hearing in spring, not omitting the j
lambs at the same time. There are va- j
rious solutions used as sheep dips, but:
, tobacco and sulphur arc usually pre- i;

make a dipping solution, use thirty-five ! <
pounds of good strong tobacco and ten :;
pounds of sulphur to every hundred gal- j j
ions of water. The tobacco must be ,
ateeped several days to extract its j<
strength, and the sulphur stirred in when I j
the liquid is warmed up for use. The
ize and capacity of the vate and tanks j
will depend upon the number of sheep i:
and lambs to be dipped, Every member <
of the flock?old and young?should be !:

Mowing aud Pasture Lands.
The Ploughman has the following sug-:
gestions in regard to the care of mowing
and pasture lauds: Many farmers neg-j
lect to clear their mowing fields of stones, j
iticks, and other obstructions to the
mowing machine, until the grass gets so j
high that it is difficult, if not impossible, j
to see them, and so the knives of the ;
mower are injured if not broken; this is ;
? CI y pwi pvilv/v ^ iv? vu uivot vi luv vi iij^ j
fields if the work be done before the grass 1
tarts much, t"he labor of removing all!
obstructions to the harvesting machines I
i? comparatively light. Land that has j
been covered with a good dressing of i
barn manure during the winter, will re- {
quire more labor to put it in good con-;
dition than if no dressing had been ap-,
plied, but it will not pay to neglcct such
fields, for whatever lumps of manure l
there may be that have resisted the ac- j
tioi of the frost should be beat up fine, i
bo as to settle down to the roots of the
grass, or they will not only be of no ben-1
efit to the grass but they will injure the
mowing machine, and prevent cutting;
well what grass does grow. When cattle
are pastured next to a mowing field, care
fhould be taken to have the fence in a'
condition good anough to discourage the
cattle from making any effort to break <
through it.
Before cattle are turned out to pasture 1
the fences should all be put in good or-!
der, and the grass should be grown suf- j
ficient to furnish the cattle all they care !
to eat by feeding half the time. There !
is nothing gained by turning the cattle j
in a pasture as soon as it begins to look a '
little green; this is not only bad for the :
cattle,but it is bad for the pasture: many j
pastures arc greatly injured by early and I
fate feeding; in fact there is no portion of
the farm so badly treated as the pasture.
Many farmers seem to think that all there
is to" do to a pasture is to fence it, and
some even neglect to do that very well, '
but it is just as important to improve the |
pastures as it is the mowing land; the }
farmer should not only cut the bushes and j
keep them down, but he should occasion- j
ally apply 400 pounds of ground bone ,
and 150 pounds of muriate of potash to ,
the acre; if this be done, only once in ten i
yeais.it will very much improve the feed I
and will also improve the condition of j
the cattle, as the fertilizer adds to the j
grtiss, elements that are very important to
the health of farm stock.
Farm and Garden Notes.
Insect powder is advocated as a protection
against bugs on cucumber and
melon vines.
For bark lice N. J. Shepherd recommends
a thorough washing with soft soap
made into suds.
Ditches should not have a fall of more i
than one foot in 100, or there will be j
danger of washing.
As the warm weather advances so the
tendency of fowls to breed vermin in
their nests increases.
Sprinkling the leaves with a mixture of
fine tobacco, pulverized sulphur and
plaster is recommended to drive away
the cabbage fly.
The Chicago Times says a larger quan*
tity of potatoes, and of a better quality,
can be raised with chemical fertilizers
than with manure.
To have the best success with small i
fruits, manure highly and give thorough |
cultivation. Better raise 300 bushels
on one acre than on three.
Borne apiarists assert that the linden I
tree produces honey not only in great J
abundance, but oi" a better quality than j
that yielded by white clover.
Considering the fact that a large part j
of even the best milk is water, the oeces- i
sity of giving cows in milk only the best j
water will be fully understood.
Insect powder loses its strength upon i
exposure .to the nir. Therefore get it
fresh in -small quantities when needed
for use, or keep it in a tight glass jar.
Ad observing writer says: Too often
farmers fail to realize how hard their
wives work, and how largely their own
success .is the result of that poorly^e-.
quited toil.
Proressor "Wallace, of England, says
that ;a variety of live stocik 'On the farm
is as good as a variety in cropping;
greater numbers can be kept and the best
use made of all food.
It is certainly better, in trimming a
tree, to .thin out the smaller branches !
than to cut off the ends of all the limbs. 1
All bearing fruit trees require the sun i
amu gouu veuiimiiuu.
Much time is lost on the farm by not
d<ring all the teaming that may be done
before the busy seasons begin. There
should be no wood nor manure hauled in
corn-planting or harvest time.
While horses arc shedding their coats
they should be well fed and not overworked.
It is important to have the
new coat on before the active farm work
begins, as the changing .process is debilitating.
It is said that the milk, after the cream
has been taken from it, retains the elements
which most cows find deficient in j
their food, and it is therefore profitable |
to seed milk to the cow after it has been
skimmed.
A. F. Hunter says in American Cultivetor,
that if one has a warm sunny
room in a stable or hen-house that he can
devote to early chicks, then money can ;
be made on them; but for the average !
farmer he dees not believe the business j
will pay.
Sores and loss of skin by sloughing
away on a pig indicate such a seriously
unhealthy condition of the animal that
the meat is not lit for food. The pig
may as well be killed' and buried; it i9
waste of food to feed it. The disease is
scrofulous, and is communicated to persons
by the use of unhealthful meat.
There are in the year but 265 days for
the laying hens, one hundred being consumed
in the process of molting. However
no hen can be expected to lay an
egg every day, and if she devote any
time to incubating duty, it will keep her
pretty busy to produce ten dozen eggs a
year, though her brood be soon -weaned
from her.
A good garden, well supplied with
choice varieties of vegetables and fruits,
is one of the greatest luxuries of the farm i
and household. There is no farmer but I
can afford to have just such a garden; no !
farmer can afford to be without one. A ;
[rood garden and a good cow will go a i
long way toward supplying the table I
with good, wholesome food for the
family.
Professor Riley is reported as preventing
the cut-worm on cabbage by means |
of poisoned leaves of cabbage, turnip or
lettuce placed ten or fifteen feet apart
over the surface of a olot a few davs be
JT V ?
fore planting. The leaves are dipped
in a solution of a tablespoonful of paris
preen mixed with a pail of water, which
is kept well stirred. Two applications,
three or four days apart, clear the field of J
cut-worms
Much straw in the barnyard is only so
sliirhtly mixed with manure that it seem9
scarcelv worth hauling far for its fertilizing
value. But it is excellent as a mulch
for newly-set trees, spreading it as far as
the roots extend, which the first season
will be somewhat farther every way than
the holes iD which they are planted. This
will prevent evaporation of moisture from
the soil, besides letting rains percolate
through the mulch to the tree roots without
hardening the surface of the soil.
There is great advantage in closely
following the plow with seed, especially
where the small grains are sown. The
soil is then always moistcr than it is after
laying a few days in furrow, exposed to
sun and drying winds. Unless too wet I
for good plowing the newly turned furrow
mpll(Twf>rl hr rl Mfrrrinrf ic n Koflop
seed bed than it will be a few days later. J
All the small grains require rather cool |
soil to germinate in, as it makes a broad
spreading growth and favors tillering.
Giving time for the soil to warm deeply
encourages a spindling upright growth
which is not favorable to large yields.
It is well every few years to change the
garden spot and improve it by seeding
with clover. No matter how rich the
soil may be made by manure, the subsoil
needs to be lightened up, which
nothing will do so effectually as clover
roots. One or two years in clover will
also help to free theland from weeds.provided
seed is sown abundantly, so as to
leave no vacant spaces. In a rich garden
spot clover will make a dense mat, and
may be cut frequently for soiling if not
allowed to get into full blossom. Any
one who has not tried clover on rich soil
will be surprised at the yield it may be
made to produce on an old garden.

Strange Fruits.
Amocg the iiitractions of a fruit -stand
on Fulton street is the sour sop or custard
apple of the tropics. Its form varies
Bomewhat, but the heart shaped predominates.
Its pulp is of a woolly appearance,
but it contains an agreeable sub-acid
juice. They are offered at fifteen to
thirty cents each, their size varying from
aix to nine inches in circumference.
Mammee apples sell at fifteen cents to
twenty-five cents each. The fruit is of
an angular form, and of the -size of a
small meilon. The outer rind is leathery,
and the inner rind thin and yellow. The
flesh of the apple has a very pleasant
taste and an aromatic smell. Spaniards
say so, but an American who tasted one
yesterday, said lie considered its flavor a
cross between laundry soap, molasees,
and turpentine.
Oherimoyers are offered at twentyfive
cents each. They are oblong and
from two to five inches in diameter.
They have a light green color with a
white pulp and a few black -seeds. Their
pleasant "sub-acid flavor is highly esteemed,
and by some they are considered
the finest fruit in the world.
The large pineapples in market should
not be sliced when served. Take the
crown of the pine with the left hand, dig
out the eyes, and with a strong fork tear
the pine into shreds until there is nothing
left but the core. Throw this away.
Arrange the shredded fruit lightly in the
fruit dish. Strew over it a liberal quantity
of sifted powdered sugar, a tablespoonful
each of brandy and curaooa, and two
tablespoonfuls of maraschino. Then let
it stand in the ice box until quite cold
before eating.
What is known as the green or jelly

A Caterer's Profits. 1
"Where does the profit come in? It is [
made ou pastry and oysters and light
farinaceous food," said a New York caterer
to a Mail and Express reporter.
"Take chocolate eclaires, for instance; t
they can be bought for three and one- *
half cents each and served at five cents. \
Oysters are bought at $9 per thousand ]
and sold at twenty-five cents a dozen.
Eggs are variable and sometimes bring in (
a profit, but frequently do not. Then : (
profits too often depend on seasons. Some J
seasons wc do not do any business, com- t
paratively speaking, and others the re- s
verse is the case. But even with a big
run of customers, medium-priced restau- *
rants do not make much money. Another J
risk is run during the vegetable season. 1
Salads, lettuce, tomatoes and early vegetables
do not sell at all on cold days. ^
As a rule, though, they afford some profit *
during the season. The best article l'oi s
profit is milk. During the summer ?
months the amount of milk sold is simply
enormous, and at five cents a glass a
handsome profit is made. The profits, d
however, vanish under such heavy ex- n
penditures as coal, rent, waiters, ice, ^
electric light, and hundreds of other -j
items. e

CITY CROOKS.HOW
NEW YORK'S CRIMINALS
ARE KEPT MOVING.
The Detective and the Chief of the
Bunko Men?The "Lady" in
raary s?.1 1 i&ii/ iu
Wall Street.
It is cne of the boasts of the New
York detectives that they are personally
acquainted with all the professional
criminals in and near town. The results
of this acquaintance are often peculiar.
You are talking with Detective Prior a

halt a few feet away.
''Better keep right on," he says to the
dandy; "hurry up, now."
"Oh, good morning/' Bays the dandy.
"I am only going to set my watch."
That is Kid Miller, chief of the bunko
men, and the detective will not allow
him to 8top in front of the hotel. You
arc pushing your way into Macy's shopping
store, and a" little ladylike body is
just ahead of you. Suddenly some one
steps up to her and roughly orders her to
"Get out at once."
"Certainly, sir," she says, very meekly.
"I was only going to match a piece of
silk."
She lies. She is a shoplifter, and the
man who ordered her out is a detective.
Perhaps you are at the Arion ball with
its 5,000 dinccrs and lookers-on. You
walk in the lobby near the entrance for a
breath of air, and meet. Captain "Williams i

stands in front of a stout, elderly gentleman
so as to oppose his progress.

The man answers boldly: "My wife is |
here and I have come to take her home."
"Thai'il do now," says the Captain;!
"there's the door; get!" And as Artemus
Ward used to say, "he gets." The
man is a pickpocket.
A neatly-dressed, rather substantiallooking
man of middle age sends in his
card to Inspector Byrnes at Police Headquarters.
The name on the card is that
of a burglar better known by an alias,
say "^Red Leary," for instance. /
"Well, what do you want?" Mr.Byrnes
aaks, gruffly. He has an especial tone for
men of that class, and it is a toue that
forbids familiarity and suggests mastery
?.a very different tone from the quiet
and easy one for his friends.
I would lik<- to be in Wall street fot
fifteen minutes to-morrow, Inspector,"
Bays the burglar. "I want to see about
a personal matter."
"I will have one of my corps meet you
at Broad and Wall at noon, sharp," says
Byrnes.
The burglar thanked the official, for it
is a favor to such a man to be allowed to
go to the money center with a detective
at liis shoulder ail tne rime ne is mere.
To go without this permission and escort
means a certainty of being arrested and
locked up. The only known crooks that
get into Wall street under Byrnes are
men in business there whose offenses he
cannot punish; the only others are the
employes who default now and then.
This is not the only part of town that
shady characters arc excluded from. It
has always been a favorite method with
Captain Williams to say to rascals ol
various sorts: "If you ever put yom
foot in my prccinct I'll send you up.*
This may not be according to law, bul
it's according to fact, and they give thai
precinct a wide berth. Pickpockets like
the Allen brothers, who are well, known,
have a hard time of it in New York. Nc
matter how much they want to see a plaj
or a ball came, or attend a meeting, there
is apt to be some one to stop them at the
entrance with a "right-about face, now.
You can't get in here." I have seen a
pickpocket hustled along like a bit ol
down in the wind from one block to another,

A lady told me the other day a painful
little incident relating to wearing birdt
on your bonnets and hats. I will try tc
give hor own words. She said:
"One day our pastor said (during service)
that when he 'was in Florence s
ladycamc to him and said: 'Do com?
with me and hear those birds sing, oh!
such mournful notes!' There was a room
full of birds in very small cages, and
these birds were all blind; they had theii
eyes put out. In the night the owners
take them outside the city and hang the
cages in trees. The trees are tnen an
jmeared with tar. These birds keep up
their pitiful singing, and other birds are
attracted to the cages and are stuck on
the t r, and then they are caught and
their eyes put out. And these birds art
killed and sent to America for ladies to
wear on their bonnets.
"And I looked around the congregation
to see what ladies had birds on theii
bonnets, and I was glad there was none
on mine, and I don't think I can evet
wear a bird again."?Wide Aicale.

How the Famous Ulemorr.Tonchfr Occupies
His Time?The Uuaieit Man in
America.
For Instance, during the week commenc
ing May 9. On that evening he gave tne nrst
of his course of live lectures to a second class
at Yale of -"00 students. May 10, he gave the
first lecture to a class of 400 students at the
University of Pennsylvania In Philadelphia.
May 11, he gave the third of his course to 100
Columbia law students. May 12, he gave the <
first lecture to 300 lady students of Wellesle.v 1
College, Mass., and May 13 ho gave the second
lecture at the University ot Pennsylvania.
And yet he is always found at his office from
8 A. M. till noon of every day. During this time
he runs through his correspondence, giving
his assistants the most minute and detailed in- i
structions in regard to each letter received
or any other matter that is brought to his notice.
In the afternoon he travels out of town,
and in the evening g.ves his lecture, always
returning home the same night or early next
morning. He endures all this incessant occuSation
and necessitated broken sleep because
e loves his work and because he takes good
care of his health. He claims that the warm
weather is the best time in the year for study.
The lectures, it is true, are not essential to
the mastery of the Professor's svstem, since
his printed lesson-papers are full and complete,

matter, together with scabs from ulcers; the
voice is changed and has a nasal twang; the

; there is a sensation of dizziness, with
mental depression, a hacking cough and general
debility. Only a few of the above-named

"Untold Agony from CatarrhJ*
Prof. w. Hausner, the famous mesmerist,
of Ithaca, N. F- writes; Some ten years ago
I suffered untold agony from chronic nasal
catarrh. My family physician gave me up as
incurable, and said I must die. My case was
such a bad one, that every day, towards sunset,
my voice would become so hoarse I could
barely speak above a whisper. In the morning
my coughing and clearing of my throat woula
almost strangle me. By the use of Dr. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy, in three months, I was a well
uan, and the cure has been permanent."
"Constantly Hawking and Spitting."
Thomas J. Rushing, Esq., 190! P\ne Street,
?f. Louis, Mo., writes: "I was a great sufferer
r??rtryi /?atow)i fArfhron rooro At flmafl T /VMlM
lordly breathe, and was constantly haw kin*
ind spitting, and for the last eight months
?uld not breathe through the nostrils. I
hought nothing could be done for me. Luck*
ly, 1 was advised to try Dr. Sage's Catarrh
temedy, and 1 am now a well man. I believe
t to be the only sure remedy for catarrh now
nonufactured, and one has only to give it a
air triul to experience astounding results and
i permanent cure."
Three Bottles Core Catarrh. _ .
Eli Bobbi.vs, Runyan P. 0* Columbia Co.,
3a., says: "My daughter bad catarrh when
he was five years old. very badly. I saw Dr.
iage's Catarrh Remedy advertised, and prolured
a bottle for her, and soon saw that it
lelped her; a third bottle effected a permalent
cure. She is now eighteen years old and
