AGRICULTURAL TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. Mated, Not Matched. Horse*. In his instructive work, ''The Bridle Bits," Col. Battersby (who is a veteran cavalry officer and expert liorsemaD) observes that horses put together as a team because they are of the same height and color or look alike, and have been driven | with different and various bits, yet don't go well together, are numerous and ought to be divorced. This may be because, although they are mates, they are nnf mnt'ohf'o ?ntrl tvliiln nnn iu w.irtli $500. the mate is not worth $ ")<>. If j horses are not well matched in every re- I spcct, especially in the mouthing, they must be driven with different bits and | the length of the inner or outer n in regulated according to the disposition of I one or the other of the team to pull with j or against each other, and thus fall into ' "lagging.'' Protecting Trees Against Rabbits. | A method endorsed by the Missouri! State Horticultural Society for protect- i ing fruit trees against rabbits is a* follows: Wire cloth around the tree is an effective protection against rabbit.*, and if inserted an inch or two into the ground isau equally sure protection against the j ground mice which ol tcu girdle the trees at and before the surface during the winter. There is especial danger from mice if the ground is covcrcd with grass, weeds or the mulch of the summer, which should be removed for some distance around the tree unless the wire j mentioned is used. If wire is used it 11 may be left on as a protection against ! i borers in the summer. Apple, pear, I peach, plum, cherry, apricot, quince, !' all kinds of fruit trees, arc now nightly'] exposed to destruction by the rabbits ! ; unless protected by some means. That, ] the rnbb ts have not done so belore i ] is no reliable assurance I hat they will not' < eat up your orchard this winter. The! change in grass and weed plots, corn-1 ( fields, conditions of hedge rows, etc., 1; also change the haunts of the rabbit*, 'j and one cannot tell when they will make . a ra'd on the orchard. As a protection, j, sprinkling blood on the trees, rubbing ] with greasy bacon or the flesh of the rab- j bit, as is frequently practised, may be ; effective for a time, but these "appliea-1, tions are liable to be washed olf bv heavv i .rains, leaving the tree exposed be.ore i winter is over. A surer method is to wrap the trees with someth'ng. Kye i straw, slough grass, heavy paper, rags, j etc., are used, aud one is as good as the j other if the body of the tree within reach 1 of the rabbits is covered. | How Plaster Acts on Land. , It has been satisfactorily ascertained j that 011 so.Is destitute of vegetable mat- j' 1 lilil- _i. ' Mj fcer piaster mis ntue or 110 inuuciicc un- ] less accompanied with some kind of de- j composable material, so that its benefi-1 cial effects are best secured by pursuing such a sy.-tem of cropping as will acru- ( mulate vegetable matter in the soil, i Pure plaster is composed of thirty-three per cent, of lime, forty-one per cent, of sulphuric acid, and twcuty-oiie per cent. I of water, and is more or less beneficial: to crops as the soil is more or less defi- j cient in one or more of those elements, i Its influence on plants is seen most plain-; ly in the large increase of foli;ige and stalk as distinguished f om the for- j mation of seed, and, therefore, its effects j are visible on the different varieties of clover. A cron of two tons of Hover s contains about twenty-five pounds of j lulphate of lime whilst a crop of twenty-; five bushels of wheat, 6traw and all, con-j tains but seven pounds, and fifty bushels of corn contain less than oue pound, j And is universally considered that 1 plaster, on proper kinds of soil and in right condition, is beneficial to all kinds of the clover family, yet that it increa-es the yield of wheat, corn, rye, or oats is nol so generally conceded. I Liebig claimed?and we have great faith in his opinion?that the chief benefit of plaster to land was that it absorbed ammonia from the atinosr)he:c and fixed it in the soil. Others hold that, besides 1 this quality, it disintegrates the com- j < pound silicates in the soil, setting free 1 the potash and magnesia?two essential 1 constituents of plant growth?and by < rendering ihem soluble and ac tive in the i soil, thus furnishes plauts with four of 1 their very essentia! constituents, viz.:!' sulphur, lime, potash and magnesia. 1 That there is a great difference in the < quality of the plaster is known to all ob- ! < servant farmers, and it has been found ; that the kind which, in grinding, emits the strongest smell of sulphuric acid has 1 the best effect on vegetation; and \\hil?t : it cannot be de'uicd that some plaster, in DVIIIi: 3WUU9 )tl It'ilSt JUilS 1JU1C OI nO ptT" ] ceptible eflect on vegetation, jet, when < pure,it is almost as powerful in its effects : as the best of manures, and when incorporated with or strewn over the manure pile at once stops its strong, pungent smell by uniting with the ammonia, ; and thus preserving the strength of the manure. The great clanger, however, to the farmer in purchasing plaster is the liability of having an impure article imposed upon him, and therefore he can-! not be too particular in satisfying him- : self in this respect.?La'timorr Sun. The Way to Clear Woodland. John P. Fitts writes, as follows, to the New York Tribi/nc. An impression prevails among farmer* that their grow-,: ing wood needs no nttoutic n, and when they find it desirable to cut off a portion it is usually done without plan or consideration. 1 offer a hint toward a moie ill UIC UiWUl CI tl ICS, IU liu varied, of course, according to size and peculiarity of the tract, and the ciicumstanccs of the proprietor. Mo-t of our wood at present is what iscnllcd "sccond growth"; much of it has been cut over several times: liit'eof the original forest i is left, and th-.'re are few tracts contain- : ing old or very large timber. The g- neral use of coal leaves little inducement for the fanner to cut oft wood to se!! for [ fuel. Jt sliou'd be bis principle object, i therefore, where hi< wood is of suitable ' kind-?, to let it stand unt l large enough i for timber, for which there is a good nrpsent market, and liknlv to lit* an fnrn Letter and more remunerative one in the j future. For more than thirty years, j when cutting o.T a tract of woodland for fuel, it las heen my practice to let all: the straight and thrifty timber trees , 6tand, such as white oak, white pine, j hickory and chestnut. As wood for fuel | is most proti;ably cut off once in twentyfive or thirty years, at the second cut ting these reserved trees wili have become large enou?h for timber uses, find can l:e cut and worked up into lumber. With this exception it is decidedly be-t In clearing off a woodlot to cut everything clean. But it is often recommended in agricultural papers to cut out for fuel only the dead, crooked and unthrifty trees, while the rest is allowed to stand. The objections to this practice are: The danger of injuring the surrounding trees i while felling such dead wood in the j midst of a thick growth: the difficulty of ! getting out the wood of such trees without cutting roads in every direction I through the woodland, which would destroy more thriftly trees th:in the dead wood is worth: and lastly, there is no end to this practice, for there will be \ more or less of dead wood to cut out j every year, and where the dead or crooked trees are cut there will spring up a new | growth which w:ll not be large enough to cut when the surrounding trees arc ready to clear away. A far better way | is to cut everything clean, with the ex-j ception mentioned above. The trees j will not then be in the way of each j other in falling: teams can pass over the j lot in any direction without obstruction I in hauling off the wood, and the new growth will come up even and uniform ! over the whole tract. Supposing a ! farmer begins upon this system, cutting off each year from a given tract what he I wishes to use or to sell. In the course of a few years he will have his wood- j land in separate lots of different stages i of growth, and when he gets over the i whole in twenty-five or thirty years he j (or his children) can begin again where ' he commenced at first, and this time he can take off such of the valuable timber j as is matured and ready to remove. , Farm and Garden Notes. A hint for cheese-makers: New York j commission merchants are asking for ten- I pound cheeses. The consumptiou of cheese. the Da'rt, World thinks, would j soon be doubled if this demand were \ supplied. The Italians fatten their turkeys on 1 walnuts. The process is begun thirty j days before killing, a walnut being ; stuffed down the fowl's throat every day during that time. By the twenty-ninth j day lie is well fatted, and ready for the slaughter. JVlany larmers, says a recent writer, have made a mistake in trying to raise j moognl trotters, and have generally failed. They should rather breed for ' large, stylish, active coach and driving horses, <">r solid, strong, active farm or ilraft horses. The -weighing of milk, testing of the sows and knowing to a dollar what one , is doing, is a great help to the dairy fanner. It enables him to get rid of i poor milkers and replace them with good mes, and the latter cost no more to handle than the former.

This is better than trying to force it down or to lose the low. The throat is not seriously hurt, i A rural Pennsylvanian tells his brother farmers who are about painting out- ( buildings that the application of a coat nf crude petroleum will lessen the amount of paint required nnd cause the wood to last longer. A wash which he has found j pery satisfactory for outside work is j Qiade by slakiug clean, fresh lime, and i mixing it with water, and adding to each peck of lime half a pound of salt and a ' pound of sulphate of zinc. This wash nay be eolored to any dc irable shade. For cream-color he adds yellow ochre; ror gray, lamp-black dissolved in vine- 1 jar. An economical feeding trough for hogs nay be made as follows: Take a plank 10 feet long and 12 inches wide for each ide and one G inches wide for the bot;om. These are closeiy fit led together ind held by a few long bolts parsing hrough the sides and the bottom. The | i :nds are closed and bolted in the same ' vay. The trough is divided into 2 feet ipaces by partitions of 1 inch board >laced across so that one pig has room to eed without being pushed away by the ! )thers. To pi event pigs getting into the | rough the partitions are made 12 inches < ligher than the sides and aboard 0 inches vide is nailed all along the top of it. The artichoke, says the Country Oen- j Jemim, is to be planted and cultivated ; [ ike potatoes, or in shallow furrows, three : >r four feet apart, and about a foot in ; J he row. Two inches in depth will an- i J iwer for covering. They are not to be ; id^ed, as some ridge potatoes to their : letriment. They constitute a good food or hogs, are nearly as nutritive as pota- j ' :oos, and commonly yield more to the J1 icre, sometimes several hundred bushels. 1 ^ma.11 crops may be obtained from pour i j and, but rich soil does best. They are j jultivatcd to some extentin certain local- 1 tlio fnr-t- tli.it tlwiv V-.nvrn n At. nh. 1 :ained a general introduction indicates , some drawback in their culture. It is too much the fanhion, says the CuHlva'or, to re jard ensilage pro lucts, if of the >ame food, as identical in quantity. But every one knows that corn fodder, i ivhic'.i is most used for ensilaging, varies i ' greatly. That grown thickly in rows, as ; it generally i* for the silo, makes thin, ' white and innutritions stalks. There is j no gain to this kind feed by putting it on the silo. Unless the lacking nutrition j i is supplied, cows will grow thin on it, j just as they will on watery grass as pas- i tnre in May. The succulence of ensilage ; makes it excellent as a ba<is for increasing the milk yield in winter. Large j cornstalk*, that have borne ears, contain a great deal more nutrition than the same bulk of ensilage put up as it is commonly grown. The Noisy Stamp Mill. The rush and roar of the elevated rond? is music in the ears of many of the mining men from the West. They say; it is the only thing in the world that j sounds like a stamp mill. For the ben- ; elit of the people who have never seen i silver-bearing quartz crushed by ast imp j mill into powder, which is afterward j made into a pa^te from which the pre- ; cious metal is separated by means of i nuicksiiver. it mav be stated that a stamp I is a cylinder of iron abo;;ts!x inches in j* diameter, shod with steel, and oper- ! atcd by steam. The stamps work in I rows, live con>titut!ng a battery, and j they are raised and lowered simultane- j ously. When forty or fifty of them do come down on the ore, the crash that j follows is thrilling, and Hocky Moun- j taineers say, musical as the orchestration of the "Gotterdainmerung." The roar of a stamp mill is often compared by the ; mining camp poe^s to that, of the sen. ! It has a peculiar resonance which is not I unmusical, and in the solitude of vast snowy mountains i* very effective.?Xt-c i Yvrh Sun. ' After Van."

There is a store on Broadway where almost everything that enters into the household economy of people keeping houses or living in apartments is subjected through Swiss inventive genius into supplying musical aiis. The very chairs people sit on in parlors and dining rooms are made, after two seconds' manipulation, to give forth an air from the latest opera that will keep on filling the room with melody from eight to fifteen minutes. The teapot or coffeepot on the breakfast-table is rendered musical without interfering with its custorairy duty to fill the cup. The bird suspended by the window resembling a robin red breast perched in a beautiful gilt cage will, though not a native of the wild woods. sing quite as well ami accurately, wspireu by the musical machinery within its tiny anatomy. Plates and dishes can be made to play tunes during meal hours and the bouquet of flowers on the centre of the table | can have a bird precisely like one imported from the Hart/. Mountains, called a canary, which will sing with sweet and dulcet notes. Billiard balls, painted red, white, and blue, are turned into fountains of music. Ladies' toilet cases are converted into music-boxes without in the last degree encroaching on the space required for perfume and powder-holders and the other requisites of a lady's drcssing-casc. In a glass inside tlv store is a pair of imitation greyhounds, and a pair of elephants true to life, and these are simply music-boxes in disguise, and so is the monkey who smokes a cigarette while he also plays the latest air from one of the minstrel shows. The smallest music-box is about the size of a man's average-sized timepiece, and plays an air as clearly and accnratcly as one ten times as hi". The price of this is 35 cents, and tne next largest, playing two tunes, $1.85. The large boxes, which wind up by a lever and are kept in motion by powerful springs, range in price from $15 to $:}0. Those with bells insight from to $100, according to size: with bells j drums and castanets in sight, $60 to $125. In addition to all the rest of the things made musical are water and milk pitchers, cuspidors, frames of paintings hanging on the walls, dolls, saucers, and stands for teapots and dishes.?New York Telegram. Ostriches iu California. One of the first places to which the sightseer repairs in Los Angeles, says a correspondent of the New York World, is Washington Garden. Last autumn about forty fine, large ostriches were brought here, and they form the chief attraction of the garden. In spite of the injunction, "Do not feed tne birds," painted in large letters on the fence outside the inclosure in which they arc kept, the temptation to disregard it seems to be great, for little attention is paid to the prohibition. When the writer had the pleasure of looking at these birds they had been plucked only a few days before, and a more awkward, clumsy, ungainly set of creatures would beiiara to imagine. It was rare sport to feed them with oranges; to see them come to the fence, look at you with their curious, snakelike, expressionless eyes, and then, curving their long necks, dcxtrously snatch an orange from the lingers or umbrella tips of the more timid of their would-be i benefactors. The interesting part now ! comes, as the progress of the orange (which has been swallowed whole) can be traced all the way down the three feet or more o1" neck that intervenes between the th;oat and the body of the bird. Round and round goes the orange, in true corkscrew style, until it finally disappears beneath the bunch of feathers which grows on the chest of the bird. There is no end to the ostrich capacity. One man, curious to eee how much a AAt onlo/tfa/1 Ann on/1 nf*t>r ( U11U nuuiu CUl, VltV) UIIU U*?Vi gathering from the surrounding trees a number of oranges, proceeded to feed his bird. lie gave him thirty six oranges, nearly filling the long, slender throat, so that the animal finally looked as if his neck was composed of a succession of tumors. In a short time, however, the oranges had worked and screwed themselves down, and there stood the bird, his long neck si retched out, his whole attitude one of expectancy, and, like Oliver Twist, he wanted more.

Ask for "Ivory" Soap a Copyright 1886, by! Charity in China. On the first day of the tenth moon (15th of November) the winter charities ar<? opened in Peking for the dispensing of food. When the cold season is furl tlier advanced the distribution of clothj ing is made and the almshouses bccomo filled. Two members of the staff of the j Chinese Times recently made a tour of : inspection among the charities in the | south city of Peking. All the institutions visited were supported by imperial bounty. The first one reached was a porridge kitchen, a little ea9t of the great central city gate Ch'ien Men. The "granary rice" was already cooked and waiting hot in the great wooden tubs usually found in such places; but al though it was 9 o'clock none of the poor people had arrived. The explanation of this unusual lateness is that at a place half a mile away they were drawing the i rations of good millet porridge first. The granary rice is of bad quality, and the people much prefer the millet. The sec- j ond place visited was one where sound : millet porridge was served, and there men, women and children to the number ! of 1,200 were waiting in great rooms \ or barracoons the distribution of ! the food. It was soon begun. Two files j marched out simultaneously, men on j one side, women and children on the j other, each person carrying a vessel of I some kind into which with great expedi- i tiou n dipper of hot millet porridge was ] \!naf nf tlm ft rAtlirilfid ! to their homes to eat, but many homeless ! ones found quiet places in wood-yards and sunny corners of the streets to finish up the millet while hot, and then go to the place where the rice already mentioned was waiting for them. At the third place visited the dispensing was already over, only five hundred applicants having presented themselves to-day, most of them, as usual, being women and children. This was one of the departments or branches of a large and expansive charity under the, title, "Hundred Goodnesses." The functionary in chirge informed us that several thousand sometimes were ; fed. A few steps futther on were the j free schools of this same charity, and j still further to the west, at a short dis- ! tance the winter's lodgings known as "The Warm Quarters." This is appro- , priated for women and children, fifty or ' sixty of whom had already arrived. They \ receive porridge of millet and granary | rice twice a day, on which they sulisist | (luring the winter. The "warm quar- j ters," number eight in the south city, and were opened about ten years ago in addition to th2 regular o'ticial alms- j houses. The administration of the j charity leaves little to be desired, many : thousands of poor people being housed, j fed, and clothed during the winter in a perfectly efficient manner.
