F Vw. AGRICULTURAL. TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. Summer Hoeinff. Few operations on the farm need to be done so promptly as the cultivation of hoed crops, says the P'ottyhman. Sometimes the neglect of a single day will in. crease the labor one-half, aud decrease the crop nearly as much; for example, a field of onions may need to be hoed today, the weather is fine, the sun being warm enough to destroy the weeds as soon as disturbed, but other business pressing, the work is delayed, thinking, one day will make but little difference; but when the morrow comes it rains, so another day must pass, and if the work be done the following day, the soil will be wet and the weeds wiil have got so large that thev overshadow the crop, so that when removed the crop is injured, and the weeds will take root again unless carried from the field. Farmers, as a rule, neglect their hoed crops too much during the haying season; by being one or two weeks behind time they have to spend twice the time necessary to keep their crops clear of weeds than if the work be done when it ought to be, and yet the land is full of weeds, and the crops are greatly reduced because not cultivated when they ought to have been. Grape-Growing. The Indiana Farm r has the following points for grape growers: Prepare the ground in the fall; plant in the spring. Give the vine plenty of manure, old and well decomposed; for fresh manure excitcs the growtn, out aoes noi manure it. Luxuriant growth does not insure fruit. Dig deep, and plant shallow. Young vines produce beautiful fruit, but old vines produce the richest. Prune in autumn to insure growth, but in spring to insure fruitfulness. Plant your vices before you put up trellises. Vines, like old soldiers, should have good arms. Prune spurs to one developed bud, for the nearer the old wood, the higher flavored the fruit Those who prune long must soon climb. Vine leaves love the sun; the fruit the shade. Every leaf has a bud at the base, and either a branch or a tendril opposite it. j A tendril is an abortive fruit bunch? : a bunch of fruit a productive tendril. I Scab in Potatoes. The two principal desires of the potato erower are, of course, quality and j quantity, and if only one may be realized the former has the preference. Potatoes -without disease are, or ought to be, the great aim in this day of rot, blight and ecabby tubers. Of late years not only learned scientists, but progressive farmers, have endeavored to discover the cause, and a preventive, for scab in . potatoes. Some of our ablest authorities, includ- > ing Dr. J. B. Larves, of England; E. S. I Carman, editor of the Rural Neio Yorker; Dr. P.M. Hexamer; Dr. Henry Stewart, I and Professor tioeesman, after extensive and repeated experiments, have become i convinced of the e.ticacy of special com- j mercial fertilizers for the potato. 3lr. j Carman, who believes that wire worms I are at least one cause of scabby potatoes, ' flays: "Whether the wire worm dislikes ; potato chemical fertilizers, or whether these do not furnish the shelter which the worm prefers, we do uot pretend to say. We do say that in all of our tests the potatoes grown with farm manure , have invariably been more injured with wire worms thau those grown with fertilizers " m e ? 11 me iceung very geueiany prevails uisil j manure, especially fresh manure, is a ' prolific cause, in many soils, of potato- ; scab, and ought to be avoided for this crop. In general, it is claimed that: potatoes grown on chemical fertilizers , are more lree from rot-scab and blight, : and are smoother, more uniform and of . betteV quality than those grown on un- ; fermented stable manure. In a word, experience has proren that organic manure* tend to promote scab and rot in potatoes. The organic substance seem3 to afford a soil peculiarly adapted to the development of fungi and insects, which in time attack the potatoes. On the other hand results favor the belief | that commercial fertilizers made from ! minerals and properly treated animal j products are comparatively free from J fungi, and that such fertilizers tend to prevent or destroy any chance fungus j growth in the potato itself.?New York World. * Practical Turnip-Feeding. Mr. F. D. Curtis, to practice what he ' preaches, uses turnips in feeding his nog3, and gives his experience. He says I that the best pork ever made on the farm ! was made by feeding sixteen old hogs, I twice a day, live bushels of turnips and Bwedes, boiled, and mixed with a half : bushel of rye, ground entire. Three ' weeks before killiug-time the rye was , increased to three pecks at each meal, i The turnips were cooked in a potash , kettle, which held, heaping full, ten i bushels, when boiled unt 1 soft they were ehoveled into a barrel, and the j kettle tilled again; these were cooked | with about half the fire required for the j first lot. The troughs were filled with ! the turnips, the meal spreal on, and the | mass worked together with a hoe. The j hogs were then allowed to pitch in. I After filling themselves with this succu- \ lent and healthful food, they would go i out into the field and lie down and ! sleep until it was digested, and then go and eat the roweu, or pick up the green j leaves from the roots, and also the little turnips left in a portion of the field. They were fed only two meals a day, and this gave them time and an appetite to eat grass, leaves and raw roots, which in their turn helped to make erowth and a healthy condition. These hogs were fattened with seventy-five per cent, of lean meat in them, and the favor was as near perefectas possible. The store hogs were left in the pasture until winter came, and had very little meal, plenty of swede leaves,carrot tops, some apples, and all the grass they vranted. I have never wintered hogs cheaper than the past year. Two-thirds of their entire food up to within a few days, has been nothing but turnips, and the most of these common fiat turnips, called the red-top. The turnips have been fed raw morning and noon, with a supper of thin slop, made of bran and rye meal and water, mixed up fresh. To cap the whole experiment, one of his young sows on a very cold niuht, farrowed a litter of eleven fine pigs, alt of which aid well. He says, if turnips re 90 or 95 per cent, water,they produce wonderfully smart litters of pigs. The , average squeaking, weak and helpless litter of pigs would all have died if they had been left to help themselves.-Farm, Field and Stockman. . Fungns Diseases. Market gardeners often lose a crop of I canteloups, tomatoes or potatoes from a | fungus disease or leaf blight, wJiirh atl tacks the leaves, gradually spreading ! until the entire plant becomes involved. I We have seen entire fields so completely destroyed that scarcely enough fruit was gathered to pay for the e.\| enscs of prclmrincr the cround. much less pay a . J. 0 o ? profit. "We are now trying a series of | experiments with various fungicides recommended by the National Department of Agriculture, our own vines beI ing infected, and hope to give a favorable report of their action later on. ! In tlic circular issued by Commissioner Norman J. Colman are some twentythree receipts, most of which contain sulphate of copper (blue stone) in connection with either lime, sulphur, ashes, or all of these in combination; al?o directions for other preparations, either in i powder or liquid form. However, as 1 most of them seem to be very much j alike in their composition, we select only a few for publication, andhaveno doubt if they are faithfully and intelligently applied will completely eradicate the disease, whether upon trees, vines or vegetation of any description. i The first upon the list is a simple solution of sulphate of copper, made by dissolving one pound in twenty-five gallons of water. This has been used success- : fully in the treatment of downy mildew ( on the grape. 2. A modification of copper mixture I of Gironde is as follows: Sulphate of l copper, four pounds: lime, four pounds; water, twenty-two gallons. This is used for dowuy mildew and black rot in the i/rane: also for blijrht and rot of the j potato and tomato. ! Kau Celeste.?Dissolve one pound of sulphate of copper in two gallons of hot water; when d.ssolved and cool add one. and one-half pints commercial am- 1 monia and dilute to twenty-two gallons. > Used for same diseases as in preceding receipt. | 4. B;ight Powders.?Prepared by mixi ing three to eight pounds anhydrous sulphate of copper with ninety to one hundred pounds t!our of sulphur. 1 5. Davids' Powder.?Dissolve four pounds sulphate of copper in least po9- > sib!e quantity of hot water, and slake sixteen pounds of lime with the smallest quantity of water required. When completely cool mix thoroughly, let the compound dry in the sun, crush and sift. The liquids should be sprayed on the vine?, using a pump with a spraying nozzle. The powders may le distributed with a powder bellows or with a common funnel-shaped sifter covered with fine wire gauze. The following caution is givcu: Avoid making the applications excessive; do not drench the plants with the fluids or ( plaster them with the powders. With a suitable spiaying apparatus, wnicn i projects a fine mist-like spray, merely wet the ])lant surfaces, and employ bel- j lows whi -h will discharge the powder evenly and in such a manner that the plants may be enveloped in a cloud of dust, which, settling upon all parts, be- | comes just perceptible. The necessity for good and easily worked spraying pumps is evident. | For sma'l plantations and general vine- 1 yard use the knapsack form of sprayer, | having the reservoir and pump com- i bincd, to be carried upon the back, is 1 recommended. ?

As a result of some experiments by the : Agricultural Col lego, of Michigan, with a large number ol different varieties of potatoes, the Beauty of Hebron, ThorImrn, Dacota l'ed and White Star were found to be varieties which gave the highest yield. "Luck with flowers" consists in taking intelligent care of them.

Milk should be fed to young animals warm, and never in any other condition. Best results follow by feeding at regular and proper intervals, in just the right quantities. Overloading the stomach of a hungry calf is followed by worse consequences often than Ivy a little stinginess. An orchard that is at the same time the poultry-yard will producc 100 per cent, more fruit, of better quality, than one receiving the ordinary culture of the average farmer. The constant scratching about the roots, the gobbling up of all the insects, the constant droppings which the rains make soluble, and the continual supply, is marked by a dark green verdure anl a large, fa r fruit; the la-geruus make the fowls healthier and J the egg product greater. Arctic Luncheon. About noon, or a little later, it is time in the Arctic regions, writes Lieutenant Scliwatka in the Chnulau/uan, to take a lunch, and that rest is consequently a little longer than usual. If there is any cooked meat left from the morning meal it is devoured at this time. Usually this meal is made from raw frozen meat, that of the reindeer being the best, unless it is intensely cold weather, when the fat seal and walrus are deemed better. With a hand a* or hatchet isoinetimes a butcher's saw is used i chunks are cut from the hard fro en mass abo it the si/e j of one's list, and these solidified pieces, that one could use as a stone, are then converted into brashy masses by pounding them with the back of the ax or hatchet. If the thermometer is below forty degrees Fahrenheit, the meat must be breathed on a lew times or, if pattaken freely, it will freeze the tender mucous membrane of the mouth and leave a painful sensation of burning. The first effect of this peculiar polar lunch is to chill the person through and to set him to shivering; but in a very little while a reaction of genial warmth sets in,and the lunch feels much warmer, he imagines, than if he had partaken o' a hot meal.

A Homemade Juice Press, The ordinary method of extracting juice from fruits, lard from scraps, etc., by placing the material in a strong bag or cloth and squeezing and wringing it by hand, is exceedingly irksome. There arc screw presses for the purpose, but they are more or less expensive and are to be found in few kitchens. Mu.h aid may be derived from tiie use of a simple lever press, made on the principle of a I lemon squeezer. It requires two persons, however, to manage this, one to hold the material in the bag or cloth, and the other to apply the pressure. But if one of the halves of the press is hinged to a piece of board, 2 feet longhand 14 inches j wide, aad set upon a table with one end a little elevated, it can be worked by one person. This press will be found especially convenient in jelly making time, as with its aid the juice may be pressed without either unduly staining or tiring the hands.?Brooklyn Citizen. trA..na I?llno I have discovered a good way to destroy house flics, says a lady in the Pt'&tyune. It has the advantage of cheapness and also preventing dead flies from falling into everything, as they do when poison is used. Mix together equal parts, by measure, of melted rosin and castor oil. Stir until thoroughly mixed?which will take only a minute. While yet a little warm, spread thin and evenly on any paper that is not porous. We use fools'-cap, writing papers, catalogue covers, show bills, etc. Spread with a case knife, or any straight-edged instrument, slightly warmed. Leave a narrow border to handle with. Lay the papers on tables, shelves or any spare places where flies are numerous. They will soon cover the papers. As soon as they alight they will stick fast, and soon pull themselves down. Whcu the papers are covered two or three Hies deep, put in stove and replace wilh another one. Be sure to use no water. The oil prevents the resin from hardening and has the peculiarity of not evaporating. The oil leaves no odor when cool. Ten cents will buy enough to kill all the flies in a hotel. Recipes.

A Lire-Sustaining Drink for Horses. "What is that white stuff in the waterJ" said one of the passengers on one of the Brooklyn street cars, as the horses were stopped to drink out of pails of water. ' That's oatmeal which- we mix with the water," said the conductor, to whom the (piestion was addressed. "Oatmeal! What has come over the officers of the corporation? Have they joined the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals." "It's not that," said the conductor. "It's economy." "Economy," exclaimed a passenger. "Why, yes. Don't you know that nothing sustains life better than oatmeal and water. Soldiers c&n make longer marches than when drinking water or beeralone. The company save money by giving the animals oatmeal and water. It gets more work out of them and fewer horses drop dtad than on water alone. "Is it sunstroke that kills so many horses." said the New York Telegram reportei. "Some of them die of sunstroke, but most of them die from heart-disease. What kills them more than anything else is the starting when they have to start often on an uphill grade. When the car is stopped every block or so. as is often done, it is terrible on the poor brutes. I have often seen their veins standing out like cords and the horses gapping at every start. Ladies are sometimes very cruel without knowing it, and might save the horses a great deal by occasionally walking a block or so," A Chinese Hook of Etiquette. Sir James Legge, the Professor of Chinese at Oxford, has recently published some curious details concerning the i "Li-Ki," or "Rules of Behavior," aclasj sic work in a country where mau is bound by traditional ceremony from his first ; steps until the day of his death. As to visits, the manual directs, among other i things, that the master of the house must advance outside to meet his guest, who j will refuse to enter the door first; the ; host, after a profound bow, then enters 1 at the side of the guest. The door I passed, the same trouble occurs about I going up stairs; it is only after a long ex. change of set compliments that the two walk up side by side, but even then the j visitor must mount the first step with his right foot, and the host with his left ! foot. Chinamen who failed to observe j this ceremonial would be considered ; without breeding. If the visitor is invited to dinner, cusJ torn orders that when the invitation is given he shall recen e from the host cer, tain adv ce as to conduct, such as: "Do not cat with noise; do not crunch the bones with your teeth or drink down the | sauces at a gulp." This is said seriously, : and seriously received. If the master of j the house is a person of importance, and offers to his guest fruit with stones or | pits, such a9 peaches and cherries, the guest must put the pits in his pocket in order not to appear to reiuse anyiumg the host is gooa enough lo offer. If a I melon is served, the manner of cutting it depends upon the caste to which tha I cutter belongs. Sentiments arc regulated by custom, as well as their expression. ! Thus, if in the course of a visit, refreshj ments are offered to the guest, he must drink the first cup "with an air of profound thought,5' the second, "with a satisfied expression." The "Li-lvi" has many pages devoted [ to the ceremonial of mourning. Gr.'ef j must attain its height at the return from i the funeral. The code eavs: "When a father has died, the son must seem to be completely overwhelmed; when the body i has been placed in the co3in, he should cast around him rapid glances of afflicI tion, as if he sought for something he could not find. After the burial he should appear uneasy and alarmed, as if waiting for some one who does not come. At the end of the first year of mourning, he should appear sad; at the end of the I second year, uneasy." Lamentations ara restricted to certain hours and places. ! At certain times the mourner must bare his breast and jump up and down. If mourning for a distant relative, it is sufficient for him to pretend to jump. Consolation is also meted out by rule. The "Li-Ki" mentions a woman named KingKiang, who was so well-bred that having lost both husband and son she mourned for her son day and night and for her husband by day only. Irregularity in ceremonial as to mourning is regarded ! with such disfavor that the "Li-Ki" observes: "It is better not to mourn at all than to mourn alter an improper fashion and in improper dress."?Ncu> | York Post. ?

In j the centre is a tiny fountain. The ciiI cumference at the base is nearly seventy feet, and the base is made of alternanthera, echevcrria, and other bedding plants. On the front is a calendar, with year, month, day of month and day of week in separate boxes which are changed from day to day and month to month. , On the reverse side is an American J shield and crossed flags of red, white and bl ue plants and flowers and a border of a different color.
