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.

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

you choose and can save by it, but let it
have a high per cent, of available potash,
nitrogen and phosphoric acid.?American

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.

A. W. Cheever claims that grass can

attempt is made to giow it continuously
on the same land for a long term of
years.

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.

blends with any color. The fine, joint- ,

out using a fork.?Chicago Herald. t
Cage Birds.
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

ing season it may be given every day; 81
put into a separate vessel, or throw it on v
the bottom of the cage. si
Egg food is prepared as follows: Boll tl
a fresh egg ten minutes: when cold re- a
move the shell, and either chop np the
egg (yolk and white; or press it through ti
a colander, or similar article; mix with a
three tablespoonfuls of powdeied biscuit v
or stale bread crumbs. This food should ti
be made fresh at least once a day. Dur- s1
ing the hottest weather it is better to u
make it twice a day, for nothing tends 1
more to disarrange birds than sour food, ii
Green food may consist of any of the p
following: Groundsel, chickweed, dan- n
delion leaves, lettuce, inner cabbage n
leaves. Whatever the sort of green meat c
selected it must always be fresh, young,
and free from frost. During the early I
breeding season it is necessary to be h
very careful in this matter, and a good \
plan to follow is to always soak your s
green stuff in warm water for five or ten v
minutes, and allow it to ttand until I
quite dry before giving it to your stock. 8
As the season advances this precaution c
will not be necessary. Moulting food e
for color is simply egg food mixea with e
certain coloring matter, such as cayenne, g
common pepper, tumeric. The proportion
is usually one part of coloring to
two parts of egg food.? Farm, Field

A NEW ENGLAND SENSATION.
Escape of* Well-known New Haven Gentleman.
New Haven Registev.
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.
Tlia rtiAiimofiA fonlinno nacoa^ awair Xf>/
Jead felt clearer and I thought I was better.
My physician said he did not care for these
celings, if he could stop the albumen and the
ube casts passing me, oven though I was
>nly able to lift my linger, he coula bring me
hrough.
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!. A few weeks
if tor treatment with Warner'? safe cure, my
vater suddenly, just before noon, became
lear as crystal, and you may be sure I was
ejoiced, as I had improved in strength and
eelings but could see very little improvenent
in my water for twenty-four week?,
.'he albumen soon ceased passing me, and I
tegan to gain strength.
I continued taking Warner's safe cure
intil I had taken 57 bottles; then I stopped
or a while but again resumed. For nearly
. year I have not felt the noed of any and
.m able to attend to my business most of
be time. 1 am now in my 51st year. I give
Earner's safe cure the praise,' and take
very opportunity to tell those afflicted
vith Brigbt's Disease what Warner's safe
ure has done for me. I write thistestinonial
for the benefit of humanity.

" We believe that in extent of light-weight raw material

For toilet use and barbering.

That tells what Ivory Soap will do."
