AGRICUTOAL
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Rotation for Gardens.
It is good occasionally to give the garden
a rest by seeding it with clover or
grass for a year or two, and highly
manuring some other plat to use in its
stead. It requires, however, one or two
years' time to bring up even rich farming
land to the condition needed for
* ! 1 1.1
garden purposes, ine oeginumg Miumu
be made now by manuring heavily a
clover sod and planting with early potatoes.
Then in the fall manure again,
and sow the patch with rye. to be
ploughed under in spring. By this
mcan3 the manure will be thoroughly
incorporated in the soil. The old garden
after its use this summer may be
sown with rye or wheat, and seeded
with grass in the fall and with clover
seed next spring. In two or three years
this will restore a lightness and fertility
to the soil that cannot be got in any
other way.?American Cultivator.
Warm Water For Stock.
After attending the Farmers' Institute
I began to th:nk of the warm water
question for stock, says a farmer in the
New York World, and concluded to try
the experiment with a pair of yearling
M steers, to see if I was wasting food by
the method I pursued, which was to
stable all my stock in a good, confortablc
stable at night, turning them out at j
9 or 10 o'clock a. m., and feeding in rack
at noon, letting them go to the open
creek and drink at will. On the 19th of
the month I weighed the steers. One
weighed 925 pounds, and the other 995
pounds. The heavier one I kept in the
stable and gave water warmed to 100
degrees. The lighter one was turned
out in the morning as as usual to go to
the creek to drink. Both were fedalike
on marsh hav' and three pints of ground
feed apiece, night and morning. This I
continued for fourteen days and then
weighed them. I found that the one
haviDg cold water weighed i?27 pounds,
a gain of two pounds. The one having
warm water gained twenty pounds,
weighing 1015 pounds, or eighteen more
than the otner had gained.
I Points on Corn Culture.
"To grow corn successfully," says
Jlr. A. B. t'oiem&n in ine Jiurai i\cio
Yorker, "make the soil fertile if not already
so; break deep; pulverize thoroughly;
run a drag over it and let it take
a rain or two. Re-break it not quite so
deep; harrow again; then run a drag
over it to make it smooth. Lay it off
8? to 4J feet each way. Plant good,
sound corn. Begin to cultivate early,
and quit early. Do not be too impatient
to plant. Better to wait until the ground
gets warm. If you plant too early
the corn will make a slow start: the
6talks will get hard and the crop will
never do so well; besides, the grass or j
weeds mav get ahead of the corn. Put
^ - -? 1 J ?T 1 !
| ID? iurniu^-jiiu? auu uuuuis-juwiw mm- |
Ider the tool-shed as soon as the corn is j
p!anted, and use cultivator and a oneI
horse harrow with short teeth. It is a
r' fallacy to thicw up a big ridge next to
the corn to keep :t from being blown
f down. The root3 hold up the corn.
Just as well pile soil around a fruit tree
to keen it from being blown down. It
iB a fallacy to plow corn deep when it is
silking, during a drought, to bring up
the moisture. The plowing is a serious
injury. If the soil has been properly
prepared the moisture will be Drought
up by capillary attraction. It is a fallacy j
to undertake, by five or six plowings in '
a field of growing corn, to do the work
that ought to have been done before
planting."
Feather Eating Fowls.
The cause of feather eating in fowls,
says the Farm, FieU and Stockman, is
attributed by some to idleness, while
others incline to the opinion that the
appetite craves some element lacking in
the foo'i. When hens are permitted to
run at large they seldom acquire the ;
habit, and it is claimed that those which
give the most trouble in confinement are
the Asiatic variet'es and Houdans.
When the habit has once been contracted !
all poultry keepers agree that it is difficult
to eradicate it, and some claim that
the only effective remedy is to cut off
the offender's head. The first step is
to confine each culprit in a separate
apartment as soon as the habit is discovered,
and turn the rest of the flock at
large if possible. Cures have sometimes
been effected by a diet of soft food containing
a large proportion of bone meal.
Place a few cabbage heads where the
hens can have free access to them, also
let them have raw potatoes, apples and
tnrnips to peck. Mix with their soft
feed a little sweet fresh meat, not tainted,
choppcd fine. Salt the food slightly.
Provide the flock with plenty of dry
6and in which to roll and dust themselves.
Keep constantly within their
reach a di.-.h of water containing a few
rusty nails or a few grains of dissolved
copperas.
Fare for Calves.
Several years' experience has given me
a successful system of procedure in calfraising,
writes a farmer in the New York
I'ribui.e. They are taken from thecows
at two dny? of age, and never before, because
it is nature for them to draT the
first milk to cleanse the system of congenital
waste matter. If taken from the
cow as soon as dropped they do not get
the benefit of this wise provision of Nature,
for it requires a day or more to
teach them to drink. They are ^iven
about 2$ qts. freshly drawn milk twice a
day for ten days, and then for a week
fresh milk[onc a day and skim milk once.
After that the ration twice a day is 2 qts.
Bwcet skim milk and 1 qt. of a strong
decoction of (lover hay added, given
warm, a month, and then the ration is
gradually cooled; meantime they have ft
lew oats once a day and hay constantly.
They can be gradually weaned from the
milk at three moDths of age if they have
fresh grans, but will do the better the
longer the milk-feediDg is continued.
"Wheat bran should never be given, for it
tends to produce scours. If they have
access to pure drinking water only and
what hay and salt they will eat besides
their grass feed, they never will be troubled
with unnatural looseness of the
bowels. When first turned out, it should
be in a small enclosure, with much shade,
for they are liable to run too much and
to get sunstruck. Those who avail
themselves of this opportunity to halterbreak
the iuvenile bovines will accom
Lplish a good purpose.
Robbery Amonj; Bees.
Of all things connected with the apiary,
robbing is the most perplexing, and often
very disastrous. The primary cause is
carelessness on the part of the apiarist.
A colony of bees in proper condition is
proof against robbers, and colonies that
fall victims to robbers will nearly always
be found to be defective in some particular.
A colony that becomes queenless,
without the necessary brood to rear
another queen, seldom escapes being
jobbed if left long in such condition.
r- ' .
' .v : ..... * . . ; ' k ;
Again, & colony may have a defective
queen, and on the colony becoming discouraged
will allow themselves to be
plundered and destroyed. In such cases,
and they are the worst of any, the
apiarist is certainly responsible, and it is
in his power to remedy such defects.
A colony having a good, fertile queen
may be so weak or few in number that
j they are unable tore-pel robbers. In such
c ises the ap:arist can strengthen them
by uniting with other colonies, or draw
from others to add to their force, and
thus save them. Keep colonies strong
at all times and furnished with good
fertile queens. Carelessly leaving honey
about where bees can get access to it often
causes trouble,as this will incite robbing
and the weak and defective colonic swill
at once fall victims. Where robbing
begins it is difficult to deal with. The
colony being robbed >hould be allowed to
remain where it is. Changing ltrromone
position to another in the same vicinity
does more injury than good; it should oe
removed a mile or more from the
neighborhood. If the bees show any
disposition to protect themselves, robbing
may be checked by simply contracting
the entrauce. Hut if the inmates
make no resistance whatever, a large
sheet or covering of light cloth may be
thrown over the entire hive. The bee
tent,now much used by apiarists to repel
robbers, is the best for this purpose.
This is made to the hive, allowing room
for the apiarist to work inside. Light
muslin or musquito netting, drawn over
a light frame, may be used for the
purpose.?American Agriculturist.
Farm and Garden Notes.
Cheup seed are often expensive.
Pigs and poultry are profitable.
Succulent food makes succulent milk.
The horse-stable should be cleaned
daily.
Butter unfit for table use can hardly
be regarded as fit for cooking.
Kemember that milk for young pigs
and calves should be fed warm.
Don't undertake to till more acres
than you can cultivate thoroughly.
Good corn-stalks, well cured, are
about equal to hay for milch cows.
It is not advisable to sow or plant
until the ground is dry and warm.
Put all farm machinery and tools into
first rate order during leisure hours.
Plant the quick-growing Virginia
creeper around trellises and outhouses.
Clover makes richer hay than timothy
or otiier grasses, out ciover useu vwira
greatly. That which becomes dead ripe
before cuttiDg loses its leaves in curing
and its stalks become hard and woody.
No part of farming is more uncertain
than the quality of hay given to stock.
Inspection shows wide variation, dependent
on greater or less success in curing,
and also on the original constituents of
which the hay is composed.
In a wet teason all hay is com pari tivelv
innutritious, even when it is not still
further injured in curing. Hay on land
sub-soiled and drained is richer than that
grown on soil where the roots of grass
tind ^stagnant water a foot below the
surface.
Taken one year with another, broom
corn is a profitable crop on rich land,
and where there is a good market for
the product. Four to six hundred
nf the brush can be crown per
acre, ana besides this the seed has some
value for food. It is grown in drills,
planted twice as thickly as com, in order
to make a finer brush.
In many places where running streams
run through level lands a very little labor
in building a dam will overflow a
a wide surface. If the fields so overflowed
are in grass this is very beneficial.
Even though the water contains
little or no sediment, it has some elements
of fertility which it has absorbed
from the air or from 'contact with clods
of manure on the soil.
One who professes to know practically
j whereof he speaks 8:i)'s that poultry for
the table, to be set at its best, should be
fattened <juickly. One of the best fattening
properties, he adds, will be found
in milk in almost any stage from sweet
to clabber. It should be fed in connec
4 ^ fVKAin f'V* lVl'OnQ
llUll Willi jilCilLJ Ul ?AOiU. Viiivavug
should be fed plentifully before going
upon the roost, also saith this experienced
adviser.
Cuttings of grapevines should be made
with two buds?one about half an inch
from the lower end and the other an
inch or so from the top. The cuttings
are planted in good mellow soil, in rows
j twelve inches apart, in a sloping dircc!
tion, with the lower bud live inches
j under the surface. The roots <jrow from
the lower bud. When a year old the
; plants nmy be set out in their permanent
places.
Ileaves is more often caused by indigestion
than any other ailment. It has
j been cured effectually by giving moist
j food, of which cut turnips or potatoes
j form a part. Two quarts of potatoes cut
and sprinkled with corn and oatme:il
! rnav be siven three times a day, and the
; hay should be sprinkled with saltwater,
j But the best method is to give moistened
j cut hay or straw with ground feed in
j moderate rations.
The most important soil ingredients of
! plant food?the ones that the atmos|
phcre can not supply at all, or not in
; sufficient quantity, and which the soil
1 or fertilizers must supply, so the plant
! can absorb them through its root1', are
| potash, lime, magnesia, iron, phosphoric
i acid, sulphuric acid, chlorine and some
i compound of nitrogCD. Plants also take
j silica, soda and some other materials from
the soil, but these are needed only in
j minute quantities, or not at all.
Spices must be used with moderation.
Fowls' insides aie not mnde of india
rubber or sheet iron, but are quite like
those of human beings. Red pepper
particularly, should be used with care.
At this season of year, when eggs are to
| be used for hatching, ginger should be
j substituted, as it acts upon tnc liver,
i and serves as a medicine as well as a
stimulant. Feed chopped clover hay
' before grass, steeped in boiling water and
; they will relish it wonderfully, after the
I lack of green food during the long
winter. It may be added to their warm
mash in the morning.
Southern Keganl for Women.
In our Southern States one gets still
another view of woman. I went through
the Virginia mountains and learned that
south of Masou and Dixon's line every
white woman is a queen, ido'ixcd by
I - ' * ? t 1 -1
lier Ijroincrs, Iiusuauu, SUU3 ?uu imuuia,
rcspectcd as if sainted by her neighbors.
When a poor old woman entered a railroad
depot that was crowded by men, at
a time when it was not expected that
any woman would be .traveling,
every man in that assemblage rose to his
feet in order that she might select whftt
seat she wished, and those men who
were smoking went out and stood in the
rain rather than choose to offend her.
One of the men who did this was Fitz
Hugh I.ee, now Governor of the State.
That was only one illustration of a chivalric
deference toward women everywhere
observable and everywhere reflecting
honor on the men who maintained
it.?Albany Journal,

Between two groups of islands in the 1
extreme northwestern part of "Washing- 1
ton Territory run two narrow straits, one ' '
: called the Canal de Haro and the other .1
the Rosario strait, between the two is 11
1 San Juan Island. It commands both i '
water ways, and hence it would be of |
| great value to (ither country that owned :
it in case two nations should ever quari
rel. The text of the agreement between
j Great Britain and this country reads that
i the boundary should be "the middle of
I the channel," without saying which j
I channel. A mamed Hubbs, who was
pasturing sheep on the southern end of
the island of fcfan Juan, had for a neigh- j
i bor on the north end a man named
! Griffiths. This Griffiths was employed 1

I caused Mr. Hubbs a great deal of trou- 1
I ble, so one day, in a moment of anger, j
he warned his neighbor Griffiths that if j
, another pig came upon his land he would j]
kill it. The very next day a pig did j1
trespass there. Mr. Hubbs kept his ;!
j word and killed the pig. Griffiths was i:
: then as angry as Hubbs had been, aud 1
I immediately sailed over to Victoria?the
busy little city on Vancouver island,
where the officers of the government,
! the soldiers and the ships of war had !:
their headquarters?and obtained a war- j
rant for Hubb's arrest. A constable '
i went to arrest Hubbs and to take him to
i Victoria for trial upon the charge of
I killing the pig. But Hubbs refused to
' go with him. He said he was an Ameri;
can citizen, and that therefore an Eng- j1
i lish warrant was nothing to him. The '
i constable departed, ana hudds, weu j
; knowing the officer would come back j
i and try to force him to go to Victoria,

I A company of soldiers was sent him, and
; the English did not molest Mr. Hubbs.
For five years that little island was j

nations. Each camp displayed the flag
: of its country on a high staff over the
j tents?the stars and stripes fluttering over
' the pastures at one end and the red banI
ner of Great Britain among the hills at
j the other, only a few miles away. On

excited, and many on both sides favored

never been willing to agree, since mat j

Adulterated Food.
The articles in which dishonest practices
are most common in the present
[lay are milk, coffee and alcoholic beverages.
The local government board
estimate that Londoners are now paving
ibout $350,000 "for water sold under
the name of milk." In one district alone,
Dr. Saunders calculates that the milkman
received between $35,000 acd
$40,000 for the water they had mingled
with the commodity they supplied to
(heir customers. Yet in that same district,
he tells us, the fines imposed on
dairymen, against whom adulterations
had been proved, amounted to no more
than $5000. The business, therefore,
appears so profitable, and the risk is at
the s-ame time so trivial, that Londoners
cannot reasonably, under existing circumstances,
expcct to get the pure milk
they pay for. Coffee continues to be
adulterated on an average to the extent

ployed is chickory, at eight cents a
pound. Here the profit is also a handsome
one, as the mixture is mostly sold
at thirty-two cents the pound. In the
matter of tea it is pleasing to hear that
out of over five hundred samples tested
only one was found to be adulterated.
Forty years ago, when tea was from
double to treble its present price, adulteration
was practised to an enormous extent
in this article. Now it is not only
cheap, but it is also, practically, pure.?

The Chinaman's Wavotion to Rice.
The Chinaman's devotion to his rice
says a Canton correspondent, is as great
as an Englishman's to his dinner, and at
their regular times for "chow"?11 in
the morning and 5 in the afternoon?
nothing can take him away from his
bowl of rice. As all the city life is al
fresco, one sees miles of feeding Chinamen
if he progresses through the streets
at their meal hours. In each open room
or shop the scene is the same?a circie 01
dirty heathens gathered around a table,
shoveling the rice into their mouths as
fast as chop sticks can play, the edges of
the bowls being held to their mouths
merely as a funnel to direct the stream.
One can stand in the shops, vainly waiting
to purchase, and a surly Chinaman
will only come forward when he has finished
his bowl of rice, and has a sublime
indifference to trade, profits, and cheating
when it is his rice time.
A Reasoning Lobster.
A curious story of "A Reasoning Lobster"
is told by Willard .Nye, Jr., in the
"Bulletin" of the United States Fish
Commission. The sagacious crustaccan's
home "was under a rock in Buzzard's
Bay, in water about five feet deep. The
author carefully adjusted a noose over
the hole, and baited it with a piece of
menhaden. The lobster passed its claw
through the noose to get the bait; and
the noose was drawn upon the claw, but
slipped off when the animal had been
pulled half out of his hole, and he
escaped. The noose was fixed again,
but this time, instead of putting out his
claws as before, the lobster first
put his feelers through the noose,
felt the string a:l the way
round, and then pushed one
slaw under the string and seized the
bait. The experiment was repeated
several times, but every new setting of
the trap was met in the same deliberate
svay, as if by one who had thought the
natter out.
A Faithful Sentinel.
There is a story told in the French war
)flice to the effect that for ten years a
woo otnfinnpd in the nassaee lead
ng to the Minister's private apartments,
ivith orders not to let the people touch
:he walls. But no one seemed to understand
why this was done. Now. a new
Minister of an inquisitive turn of mind
ietermined to find out the explanation
3f a circumstance that his fifty predecessors
had never remarked. But no one
:ould give him any light, not even the
:hief clerks, nor subordinates who had
been in service half a century. But a
certain doorkeeper, an old fellow with a
!*ood memory, recollected that on a certain
occasion a soldier was placed there
because the walls had been painted, and
the Minister's wife had got a spot on her
iress. The paint had dried, but the sentinel
had been left.

Some Foolish People
Allow a cough to run until It gets beyond the
reach of medicine. They often say, "Oh, it

they would immediately see the excellent
effect after taking the first dose. Large bottles,

Laura once had an affluent beau.

Oh, where fs her recreant beau.
And why did he leave Laura so?
Why. he saw that Laura was a languishing,
delicate girl, subject to sick headaches, sensitive
nerves and uncertain tempers; and knowing
what a life-long trial is a fre ful. sickly
wife, he transferred his attentions to her
cheerful, healthy cousin, Ellen. The secret is
that Laura's health and strength arc sapped
by chronic weakness, peculiar to her sex.
