BbH^P Sowing or Seeds, ^^^vherever the soil is in proper condiBtion to work, and crumbles before the plow, or when stirred by this spade or fork, a large share of the hardy seeds may be sown. The larger share of seeds Bare sown in rows twelve to fifteen inches apart, and it is well to have a marker ! that will make furrows at these disBtances. Nearly all of the root crops, parsnips, early beets, carrots, onions, Booth seeds and sets, leaks, carrots, etc., Balso radishes in cold frames and in the open ground, are best sown in this B*way.?American Agriculturist. Crossing With Wild Turkeys. The turkey is naturally the most shy of all our domestic fowls, as indeed it has been most receutly reclaimed from the wild state. The hen loves to make her nest and rear her tender brood %vith j as little disturbance from man as possible. The domestication process has affected the hardiness of the turkey, and its size has been diminished by continuous breeding from small, or immature stock. In the wild state the dominant | male will always be the largest and best j bird in the flock, and will insure the perpetuation of his excellences. It is therefore a good plan for turkey breeders to occasionally mix their breed with a strain of the wild variety. This improves both hardiness and size?Uoiion Cultiiator. Mulberry and Windbreat. The Russ'an mulberry is so good a nurseryman's tree?so easy to raise even in the most trying climates, and so pretty in leaf?that it is still boomed as valuable for extensive planting. Little is said now about tne fruit, which is despicable, or the wood, which amounts to nothing; but the twiggy trees are vaunted for windbreaks." They are too eagerly eaten off by cattle when small, and too bare in winter to iuuy suit tms purpose. Evergreens make the best windbreaks, and if they become open below, some underbrush of barberry, rarple willow or other plants that cattle et alone, will make a perfect and enduring shelter from storms, summer aud winter. Young seedlings of spruces, arbor vitses, white pines and other ever [Teens cost very little, and if set out two eet apart convenient to their intended Bite, and protected from cattle and weeds till three or four leet high, they can be transplanted entire and with certainty of success.?New York Tribune. Robbing Dry. Rubbing dry after heavy exercise or liardwork. which causes the animal to perspire freely, is a luxury that few farm Worses ever enjoy. As a rule owners do not understand the benefits derived from luch practice, and those who know or idmit that it is beneficial are prone to think that they have not the time, or xannot afford to take the time, to attend to it. The good results from such work ire many and various. There is no better way to remove all dirt from the hair than when it is loosened up by the moisture. A thorough rubbing when the skin and coat are damp is worth half \ dozen of the kind of groomings that horses usually get with the curry-comb ind brush. It will also prevent that harshness of the hair which follows when the sweat is left to dry upon the animal, [n the matter of preveuting colds a good rubbing at this season of the year, when lorses have been heated up to the sweating point, will more than repay for the ;ime and trouble that it requires. It ilso has a good effect upon the health md general condition of the horses to jive them this attention. The labor or jxercise that causes horses to perspire nust necessarily be of a wearing nature, md the relaxing effect upon the nervous jystem of a thorough rubbing will proluce good results. The legs of a horse ihould not only be rubbed dry with a iag, due ine nanus snouiu oe useu ireeiy tver the muscles and tendons, -which I rill prevent soreness. The farmers' lorses are entitled to as good treatment n every way as those which are used ipon the race tracks, and the owners of unning and trotting horses would about a soon thiak of letting their horses go without feed or water as without a horough rubbing after each time they ire warmed up. ? Texas Stockman. Pruning Fralt Trees. "We occasionally meet with persons \ vho think that trees, in order to bear | woperly, should be pruned every spring, j Similar persona think they cannot start he year aright without a dose of spring ; >hysic of some kind. The trees may teed pruning, but at this season or at ny other, on-e rule should be observed, tfo branches, large or small, should ever >e cut away without a reason for it. One 1 hould be able to 6ay to himself, wliy I rill it be better for the tree to remove a 1 ertain branch than to let it remain? If j his rule were observed there would be luch less pruning than at present. We re not of those who object to all prunng because it is unnatural; such should eraember that all cultivation is unnatual. When we place a tree by itself and revent other trce3 aud other vegetation rom encroaching upon it and checking ts growth, we depart from nature. The rat step in cultivation is to relieve the ree or other plants from the need ot truggling with others for a place in rhich to grow and spread their above round portions as well as to develop 1 heir root system in its search for food, n nature there is this constant "strugle for existence." Whatever manner re aid a plant in this struggle is 'agin' aturV' One who wishes to cultivate is trees, intelligently, be there but a ;w or a large orchard, should have a rork in which the principles as well as ae mechanical operations of tree culture re set forth. Such a work as this is 'The Fruit Garden," by P. Barry. Its itle may mislead, but it includes all lat one needs to know about fruit cullre, the raising of the plants from the eginning to their planting and treating lg in the orchard, and gives the reason >r every step. It is the most thorough eatise of its kind, and is a library of self.?American Agriculturist. Enemys of Plants. Cut-worms often do considerable mistlief in cutting off plants newly set out i the field. These are bred from egg3 j id by various night-tiying moths. : hey eat during the night and during I le day lie concealed under rubbish or joeath the surface of the soft ground, i hey choose low, succulent plants and rapes, feeding on cabbages and corn j lly as by accident they come to them r for lack of something else. Cut- j orm injuries to cabbages'may be averted , f planting them only when there has ; ;en clean culture for several mouths j revious, but this is not always con- j anient to do. As soon as ground insted by these worms is plowed tho3e j )t destroyed by the plowing and har>wing or by the birds may be trapped r making small heaps of weeds and 'apes at little distances apart, under hich they will collect and bide and where they may be found for several mornings and destroyed. The cabbage plant louse is often de structive, and so numerous as to cover the whole plant and hinder its development, or at least seriously effect its market value. Again, the Pyrethrum Eowder dusted from a hand bellows has esn found the most efficacious remedy, as it reaches more than the sprinkled insecticides. The cabbage root worm is the larval stage of a fly about the size of a common nouse fly. It is a white maggot, pointed at the head, footless, the body gradually increasing in size toward the hiuder end, where it is squarely cut off. When full grown it is about one-third of an inch in length. For a remedy it is recommended to dip the roots of the plants in a compound of one part kerosene emulsion to twelve or fifteen parts of water at the time of planting. Club root rarely or never attacks cabKarroo nlnntPil in vircrin soil, but is most VHbv" ? ? ?0 , common in soils which have been occupied by cabbages in previous seasons. For this disease the various insecticides have been tried without any good effect. When once the fungus has entered the root there is probably no remedy. As a preventive, chloride of lime is recommended. Make a solution with not quite enough water upon the powder to dissolve all of it and thoroughly stir it; then, taking one part of this solution to two or three parts of water, apply to the roots of the cabbage at planting and to the soil immediately about the roots.? New York World. Farm and Garden Note?. Stock and red clover are the soil's friends. The most solemn joke is all the world is farming just for fun. It is none too early to begin to plan for the next crop campaign. Use the whip very little, and never when the animal shies or stumbles. Carelessness in monetary affair is the prolific source of a thousand evil consequences. Never leave a horse standing unhitched. It is the way to make them runaways. Do not storm and fret. Be quiet and kind, and the horse will be so, too, in most cases. Give the horse a large stall and a good bed at night. It is important that he lies down to rest. The world will not honor our draft for a living unless it has got a deposit of industry to our credit. If one is ashamed of his occupation, the occupation will be very likely to return the compliment. The arbor vitic is one of the very best ornamental shrubs that can be planted. TI. -i iji i It S11UU1U UC yiVl'U JJ1GUVJ VI xuvrn. Both asparagus and rhubarb will stand heavy applications of manure with profit, especially when early maturity is wanted. Hens do not eat their eggs unless they learu the habit from having eggs broken in the nest. Never use stale eggs as nest eggs. For the small farmer there is no question but that with good management small fruits can be made mu h more profitable than grain or stock. One of the important requisites to success with farmers to-day is to avoid large farms. The small farm well tilled ana a small herd well filled are what we need. Many farmers in Western New York gave up the wool business as unprofitable long ago. but still keep sheep, and say that keeping the mutton breeds is one of the best paying branches of farming. FTesh earth in the hennery for scratching and dusting is indispensible. It will clear se the feathers and skin of impurities, e'iete matter and lice. It should not bo overlooked; fresh once every three days is sufficient. Milk may be canned just as you would fruit. Bring the milk to the boiling point and fill your jars to the brim with it, then shut air tight. This will kcij) any length of time and be just as good wneu openeu as wnen it was put up. Don't trust to your memory when planting an orchard with several varieties of fruits, but make a diagram and preserve it for future use. The trees may not bear for four years, when the location of each variety may then be forgotten. A "Western breeder states that, if farmers will devote their attention to the mutton breeds of sheep they can clear larger profits, even if the wool from such sheep is burned, than from sheep that are kept principally for the profit expe.ted from wool. The question of "heredity" in the "bee business" is a matter that practically relates more to the bees than to their keepers. A man maj have had the bee-keeping blood in his veins for generations and still not be able to become a successful bcc-keeper. Every farmer is interested in good roads. None but experienced road overseers should be selected, and the tax re quireu ior roau repair 11 prupcujr ujiplied is money well invested. Good roads save valuable horses and avoid loss of time by the farmer. In feeding poultry one must be very careful r.ot to use damaged grain or sour leavings. The latter will often cause dyspepsia and bring on a half dozen o;her diseases. Warm feed only on cold days should be giveu. In warm weather do not rely too much upon the above diet. A change is desirable and will work a benefit to the digestive organs, which are usually active at this time of the year. Extinct Auiiuals. The goal of absolute extinction has already been reached by two species of mammals and three of birds, all of which undoubtedly inhabited the planet within the last fourteen centuries: The Schelk (akin to the urus of Northern Europe), the Kamtehatka seacow, the dodo (a sort of short-legged ostrich, found on the island of Mauritius as late as 1090), the parrot of the Norfolk Islands and the wingless ank (Alca impennisi, a bird once frequenting all iV, n At + Vi AT r\r f Vi n m A tl fJ n f i /"?

The ibex, once abundant in all the highlands of Northern Europe, is now found only in the almost inaccessible summit regions of the Piedmont Alps, and the only surviving specimens of the auerochs enjoy a precarious respite in the Russian ijame preserve of Bialowitz. The American mountain tcoat is getting so scarce that many old hunters of the northern Rockies have never had a chance to see & living specimen, and the list of doomed animals includes the chamois, the Corsican moufflon, the bustard, the cassowary, the elk, and probably the American bison, unless the "buffalo farm" at Garden City, Kan., ehould prove a decided success.?Drake'?

For I pain in the stomach, bowels, kidneys j or bladder, dip a large piece of flannel ' in hot water and after wringrng it, saturate it with turpentine. Lay this cloth on the seat of pain and cover with another piece of flannel or a towel. If the patient be in great pain, at the end of twenty minutes or half an hour wring the flannel from hot water again and saturate it with turpentine. It is a rare thing that more than the second application has to be made. In severe cases it is better to apply the turpentine with lard rather than hot,water. Mix the turpentine in the proportion of a tablespoonful to an equal quantity of lard and spread on the flannel. This preparation can be kept on for hours without disturbing the patient, whereas that made with hot water will, as a rule, have to be removed in half an hour or less time. "Where bloating of the bowels occurs from accumulation of gas, ten drops of turpentine on a lump of sugar orateaspoonfulof granulated sugar, taken internally? fhrp* rJnspa in t.Wfllve hours?will nfford relief. In severe cases the dose is often as large as a teaspoonful; but this should be only by a physician's advise. In bloating of the bowels in dysentery, half a teaspoonful of turpentine in a dose of castor-oil will relieve the patient. ?Housewife. Decorative Novelties.

The Greek geographers located it in the Atlantic Ooeati, west of the northwest part of Africa and the Pillars of Hercules. The 3ea-kings of Atlantis are said to have invaded Europe and Africa, and to have been defeated by the Athenians. All the legends agree that it was a vast island, of inexhaustible resources, and inhabited by a race of superior people. For ages this island has existed only m legendary lore. But now, when the light of modern research is turned full upon the investigation, behold the lost Atlantis at our very doors. So the bigoted medical fraternity goes groping about in the dark, seeking for an Atlantis or Esculapius, when if they would investigate, they would behold the lost Atlantis at their very door. "With thair ancient text book, a case of physic, a paper in their waistcoat giving them license to practice,experiment and dose with their injurious drugs, cauterize and perform unnecessary acts, with no person or laws to hold them accountable, they continue their bigoted, unjustified practice, staring into vacancy, and imagining that they see in themselves an Esculapius. Wrapped in ancient bigotry, they are crying out against all improvements that have been made in medical science. They denounce any new idea advanced by a layman or an opposition school as'a fraud. Why? BeOnuse humanity will not be benefited? Not at all, but because their specialism did not make the discovery. Yet they concede that thero is no remedy known to their ma'eria niedica that will cure an advanced kidney malady and the diseases arising therefrom-^although many of them lrr*/-vw fmm Prnu'nJnor nrnnP tllftf, Wftmep'g Safe Cure will?but unscrupulously treat symptoms and call them a disease, when in reality they know they are tut symptoms. A few of the moro honest physicians admit that Warner's Safe Cure is a valuable remedy, and a great blessing to mankind,but say, in so many words, when asked why they do not prescribe it, that thoy cannot, according to their codo. Nevertheless, the world is fast becoming satisfied that the euro for kidney and liver disease^, in whatever form or condition, has been discovered, and there is no doubt but what Warner's Safe Cure and its fame will live long after such bigotry as we have instanced is dead and buried. The late eminent physician and writer, Dr. J. OK Holland, published in Scribner's Monthly, and showed his opinion of such bigotry, ana no doubt was satisfied that Atlantis might possibly be discovered in a proprietary medicine, when ho wrote editorially, as follows: "Nevertheless, it is a fact that many of tbe best proprietary medicines of the day were more successful than many of the physicians, | and most of them, it should b) remembered, | were first discovered or used in actual medical practice. When, however, any shrewd J person, knowing their virtue, and foreseeing their popularity, secures and advertises them, then, in the opinion of the bigoted, all virtue went out of them/' Nftptha Intoxication. In several largo factories in Germany, especially in India rubber factories and establishments for cleaning India rubber, peculiar morbid symptoms have lately been observed. The faces of many of the girls who had not left the factory during the day, became flushed and swollen in the evening, and they could not walk steadily. An examination of their clothes and of the workrooms for brandy, opium, etc., yielded no result, till an accident led to the solution of the mystery. In these factories naptha is used in large quantities, and kept in special boilers closed against the air. The girls had succeeded in getting keys to the boiler valves, and soon learning the intoxicating effects of naptha, were in the habit of slinking unobserved to the reservoirs to inhale the poison, which threw them into a stnte of happy forgetfulness and conjui ed up a thousand sweet dreams of wealth, splendoi, happiness, etc. Tho secret was revealed by a novi e. who made too deep an inhalation and fell into hysterical convulsions. ?Lancct. An Humble but Trne Hero. At an obscure station in Northern Iowa three years ago there were two ladies awaiting to take a train. A tramp, drunk enough to be ugly and quarrelsome, whose hand, like Ishmael's, was against every mau, came in and amused himself by directing insulting remarks to them. The operator was receiving an order to hold the coming train, and did not hear. As he passed through the waiting-room to put out the red hag the ladies appealed to him. He ordered the fellow out, and receiving abuse in return attempted to push him through the open door when the brute drew a concealcd dirk and stabbed him. The operator, knowing it to be his death wound, made no outcry, had no word of reproach for his murderer, no repining at his own fate, sent no last message to the loved ones whom this coward's act had bereft. He simply extended the flag which he still held to the ladkj. and saying, "Put it out," fell lifeless at their feet.?Minneapolis Trihum. *. Pnckiritr Tliciu Rather Closely.
