"IMlCULfMAL. TOPICS OP INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. Dislocation of the Hip Joint. In case9 of dislocation of the hip joint the first thing to be done is to restore the limb to its proper position, which can usually be done very quickly if several men take hold of the limb and pull it out so that the joint can be replaced by a sudden movement and pressure on the thigh bones. Then give the animal rest, using a sling if necessary to relieve Tt,on UiC nciguif UU IUC 1IIJ Ul cvl auvu proceed to foment the hip with thick rugs or any thick cloth,and after the inflammation has subsided apply a blister Or some liniment containing ammonia or chloroform. The animal will need a long period of rest to effect a permanent cure. The hip snould be rubbed daily even after you have ceased to apply liniments, in order to prevent the wasting away of the flesh over the injured joint. The rubbing cau-es an increase in the circulation of the blood in affected parts. ?New Turk Hun. Comon Sense and Ensilage. The KuralNew Yorker gives its readers Borne advice on the ensilage question in the following words: We must caution our readers against the folly of expecting too much of the eilo. It canaot possibly make "something out of nothing." Don't put too much money into your first silo, but take things easy and study your way out. Don't expect silage to equal the best pasture gra=s, and so try to keep cattle on it without grain. You will fail every time you tiy it. The best that can be expected of silage is that it will reduce the cost of the bulky part of the ration and provide a supply of needed succulent food. A silo built in the belief that it will enable the farmer to sell his grain as well as his hay will prove a fMirae rather than a blessin?. The corn crop is best for the silo." That point eems to be practically settled for this country, and this corn crop must be allowed to mature. Clover ranks second as a siiage crop, but corn is so far ahead Qn the list that the natural tendency is to make the clover into hay. From the figures that we have been able to collate we should say that the average weight of a cubic foot of silage is a trifle over 40 pounds. Thus it will require a space of 50 cubic feet to hold a ton of silage. Farmers can safely figure on this basis when determining the size of their silos. Fertilizers on Potatoes. The third season's trial of the Rural New Yorker upon the effects of special and complete fertilizers on potatoes, made upon a more fertile soil than hitherto, gives many interesting results as reported in that paper. One plot, fertilized by nitrate of soda, 200 pounds per acre, gave a yield of 235 bushels of potatoes per acre; dissolved bone black, 400 pounds per acre, gave a yield of 265 bushels; nitrate of soda and dissolved bone black combined, gave 354 bushels per acre; ten tons of .New York manure gave a yield of 433 bushels per acre; OAA v\Aim/la onW onlnKota UltratC Ul auuaj W ^vuuu^ nuu 0ui|/uuiv of potash, 300 pounds, gave a yield of 876 bushels per acre; 1000 pounds raw bone gave 2y0 bushels per acre; 2640 pounds of hen manure gave 323 bushels per acre. Eight hundred pounds of Mapes's potato manure showed a yield of 832 bushels per acre. Ten tons New York manure spread on the top of the covered seed pieces yielded 348 bushels. Twelve hundred pounds of Mapes's potato manure?ammonia,4.50; phosphoric acid, 8.00; potash, 6.00?gave the remarkable yield of oil bushels per acre. Acid phosphate applied to the extent of 700 pounds showed a yield of 229 bushels. South Carolina rock phosphate, 700 pounds, combined with nitrate soda, 200 pounds, and muriatic potash, 120 pounds, gave a yield of 381 Dushels. Peruvian guano, 264 bushels. The averages showed "no manure" plots to yield 253 bushels patatoes. Single chemical constituent, bushels; two chemical constituents, b^4 bushels; three chemical constituents, 364 bushels; Stable manure, 354 bushels; hen manure, 843 bushels; fish manure, 323 bushels; and Mapes's potato fertilizer, 421 bushels. The land of these plots was very lertile, as is shown by the good yields without manure. While the results are variable under complete fertilizers, still they give a largely increased yield over special constituents. Among the things that the Rural believes have been taught by its complete exnerimentat'on, is that in an impoverished soil it pays to use a libera) amount of fertilizer for potatoes. The Rural New Yorker continues by Stating; But we don't want a "phosphate" or a "superphosphate" or an "ammoniated superphosphate" or a "Swiftgure" or anything of the kind. We want a high grade of potato fertilizer. Buy ho mw mafprifil ftnrl mlv if vnnrsplf if you choose and can save by it, but let it have a high per cent, of available potash, nitrogen and phosphoric acid.?American Calticator. Save the Plnmn. A ''Veteran Fruitgrower" says in the New York Triune: "The curculio, ;so destructive of the smooth-stone fruit {and injurious to early apples and pears) Is a small insect a fourth of an inch lo? g, resembling in size and appearance a ripe hemp-eed. As soon as the flowers drop from the plum and apricot, it begins its work, by making a small crescent shaped puncture in the young fiuit, now no larger than a pea. Into this puncture it thrusts its egg, which soon hatches, and the young larva enters the fruit, eatsand 'grows, and destroys its value. The smaller plums and those first attacked tTio <rrr?nr>#1 Thfi rp.ioftdv Cwhir.h is better titan all the many others ever ' prop sed and tested, and which is based on fifty years of successful experience) consists of killing the insects before they have done much harm, by jarring down on white sheets, and pinching them between thumb and finger. To make the iarrii^g effectual, insert an iron plug as long as one's finger into a hole bored laterally in the trunk at the centre of the head, or if the tree be large, into each main branch, and strike with a heavy hammer on the plug. The heavy jar loosens the hold of every curculio, and it falls on the sheet below, is easily seen on the white surfacc and is quickly dispatched. The be-st form of the sheet is a piece about two yards wide and long, stretched on a light frame, to be carried on the operator's left arm with the hammer in his riyht hand. He holds the sheet first under one side, then uuder the other, with a sharp blow of the hammer each time, followed with the finishng pinch of thumb and finger. As soon as the blossoms drop and the plums are as large as small peas, the crescent marks will be seen, and the wo>k must be begun, goiDg over every tree early in the morning, without intermission, for about three weeks. Sometimes when the insects are most abun- ' dant, ten or fifteen may be found at a time on a single tree, but by the'continued jarring day after day, they will 1? izr'SS. '' . : ~ - / (, gradually diminish to one or two or none. Orchards containing forty or fifty plum trees, the crops of which were so nearly ruined by this inset that not a peck of good fruit remained, have been so comj pletely protected by this process that after the destruction of several hundred insects, the trees were afterward seen loaded and bending under their heavy crops of purple and golden fruit, the cost of defending which did not amount to more than six cents a years for each tree. ! ?The common mistakes made in de- ! stroying the curculio are: 1. Striking the j limbs with a mallet which has been j padded with cotton to prevent bruising the bark. The blow is thus softened, j and but few of the insects fall; on the j inserted iron plug, one sharp blow brings j down every one. 2. Spreading sheets ! on the wet ground, with boys to carry them from tree to tree. With light rods to stretch one large sheet, and a central cross rod for the operator to carry on his left arm, he needs no he'.p and keeps the sheet dry and clean. 3. Beginning the work too late in the season, after most of the plums have been punctured, intermitting it, and stopping too soon. Farm and Garden Notes.

In Summer succulent food is the best, | because the cow needs more water during warm weather. But if fed entirely on green food in Winter, the cow may be obliged to take too much water in her food. A. W. Cheever claims that grass can be grown much more economically in rotation with other crops than if the attempt is made to giow it continuously on the same land for a long term of years. Endive is a kind of lettuce grown for fall use, and when nicely bleached, makes a pleasant salad.

It is said a pound of butter can be ' made at the same cost as one and a half i pounds of beef. But the butter is to be j credited with the fact that in selling it j off the farm, no fertilizing value goes , with it; but every pound of beef sold 1 takes away some fertility. Professor J. P. Stelle, referring to the practice of breaking up a sitting hen by attaching a red rag to her tail, quotes a poultry expert as authority for the statement that it cruelly shocks the system of any bird of fine feminine instinct to have to wear a sash that does'nt match her ! complexion. The same care given to growing crops j should be bestowed upon newly planted j tre63. The ground must be stirred and j kept from baking to a brick-like mass j of hard clay. In many instances this i can be done by mulching, but good cul- j ture of the soil is far preferable if for no j other reason than to prevent the harbor- i ing of pcrnicious insects and other vermin that are ever on the outlook for the i seclusion afforded them by the mulch eo j good naturedly placed around young j trees. A vast deal of trouble can be saved a I the battle witn tne insecw is wugeu * . ; the outset. The little silvery network ! that spreads itself at the junction of two j bare limbs looks harmless enough now, | but when the skeleton hands of leaves j stripped of all their greenness extend ; themselves in pleading to be rid of the ! hungry worms that cling to them in an j attempt to draw the la9t drop of life, it j is a serious state of things. Then it is i too late to arouse to the conception of | the work to be done. That there is such a disease of the j peach tree as yellows is unfortunately j too well attested. Still, much that ! passes for yellows is due to other causes i ?poverty of soil and Winter killing of the previous year's growth. In any kind of tree the witheiiug or dying out of dead branches will in time affect its vitality. The apple is a great deal hardier and stronger tree than the peach, but even on this a dead limb is, if not speedily removed, soon followed by others, until the tree dies. In many case3 other causes of peach trees dying are ascribed to yellows; not infrequently the cause will be found near the root in an attack from the borer. An Extraordinary Epitnpb. Mr. E. T. Viett has furnished the Charleston (P. C.) 1Vert ani Courier the following epitaph, which was copied from a tombstone in Horsleydown Church, Cumberland, England: Here lie the todies of Thomas Bond, and Mary,his wife. She was temperate, chaste and charitable; But, she was proud, peevish and passionate. She was an affectionate wife and a tender mother; But, her husband and child, whom she loved, seldom saw er countenance without a disgusting frown, while sfce received visitors,whom she despised, with an endearing smile. Her behavior was discreet toward strangers; But, imprudent in her family. She was a professed enemy to flattery, and was seldom known to praise or commend; But, the talents in which she principally excelled were difference of opinion and discovering flaws and imperfections. She was an admirable economist, and. without prodigality, dispensed plenty to every person in her family; But, would sacn^ce their eyes to a farthing candle. She sometimes made her husband happy with her good qualities; But, much more frequently with her many failings. fVinf. ir? t.hirt.v VPflTs' nr?Vinhif.ntirm he often laments that, inaugrea'l her virtues. he had not, in the whole, enjoyed two | years of matrimonial comfort. At length, j finding she had lo -t tha affection of her husband, as well as the ragard ol her neighbors, family disputes having been divulged by servants she died of vexation, '.July 38, 17C8, aged 48 years. Her worn out husband survived her four months and two days, and departed this life November 28, 1763, in the 54th year of his age. William Bond, brother to the deceased, erect? 1 this stone as a weekly monitor to the surviving wives of this parish, that they may avoid tie infamy of having their memories handed down to posterity with a patchwork character. ;., . .

They are: ] Olives, to which a fork should never J be applied.

Cage birds are found in almost every a home. They arc more associated with * the pleasant labors of women outside of c their regular routine duties than even the J keeping of poultry. The breeding of ? canaries is not so often indulged in as it 1 should be. Vinton's Gazette oifeied pre- t miums for the best essays on the subjcct, and from one of them we extract the fol- t lowing, which will be interesting in re- a lation to the feeding: a The staple food of canaries should be * plain white canary seed, with which the ^ drawer should be filled, and not with , mixed seed, for in order to obtain the c sort they like the best the birds will very r soon scatter the contents of the seed vessel, and in five minutes waste as much v food as ought to serve them a day. Where u a number of birds are concerned the food s question is a matter of serious considera- 1 tion. A very good mixture of seeds is 6 made as follows: lettuce, oat grits and , small linseed each one part, small hemp 1 seed half part; mix, and keep in a tin foi use. A tablespoonful of this mixture s may be given to every three or four birds si *- * 1 ? " -?

We present the following story of personal ixperience, not becauaa it is so very rare, perhaps, but because it illustrates the many housands of similar experiences which aro mown to many people in every section of the jountry. Our New Haven fellow citizen is a well tnown gentleman and we congratulate him )n his good fortune. December 22d, 1888, Mr. Coleman made the 'ollowing statement: "In November, 1873, [ was feeling quite badly. I had for a long ;ime been feeling very dull, with no energy, ind in a cold or clourty day I would feel as if ny underclothing was damp. My back was jothering me very much. Sometimes it would ache daytimes, and sometimes at light while in bed, but hardly ever both day ind night. My memory was poor. It was lard work for me to do anything. I had always been an active man. A physician told ne that I had bright's disease of the kidneys, ind that I was in a pretty bad shape. I kept around for about three weeks, and ;hen, catching a slight cold, I was taken lown with cramps and congestion of the iidneys, and confined to my room for nine;een weeks. The first four weeks I took my physician's medicine (he was a good one,- and i believe the best in the city on kidney ;roubles), anil grew worse day by day. Rheumatics took me in both hips and hands. [ got so that I could hardly walk about my oom. My room was kept up to 80, in order io keep me comfortable. My eyesight kept growing dimmer, and my lead and back ached continually. My nemory grew poorer, my water continued ;o be either the color of dark coffee or >loody. I then began to use Warner's safe :ure. My physician made urinary examinaions and told me I was no better.

For the next four weeks I continually ;rew worse under his care, until I had got >ack worse than I was when I commenced aking Warner's safe cure. He told me that f I took the least cold, I would be likely to jo quickly. I then asked him if he had ever :ured a case as bad as mine. He said he had lot, and that therp was no physician in New laven that had, and he b?lieved that he had he best success of any one in that line. I hen told him I had made up my m'nd to tart on Warner's safe cure again. He coninued to call a couple of times a week and nade urinary examination!.

I continued taking Warner's safe cure intil I had taken 57 bottles; then I stopped or a while but again resumed.
