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

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

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.?

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.

ornamental shrubs that can be planted.

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

which has been "seeu no more" since
1855, when the last survivor is said to
have been killed on a cliff of the Faroe
Island.
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'?

Renovating: Mahogany.
To dean your mahogany table, take &
pie.e of white castile soap, some lukewarm

wash the table. Do not be afraid to use
the soap. Then rinse off the soap with
clean water and polish with a soft cloth
and the table will shine like a mirror.

then rinse in pure water in which a little
granulated sugar is dissolved. Be careful
and not rub the ribbons so as to give
a wrinkled look by creasing. After
rinsing lay a soft cloth on the table and

Medicinal Uses of Turpentine.
For medicinal purposes turpentine
may be employed in many ways. 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.

The fringe should consist of lozenges of i
wood in two sizes, covered with the
darker shade of leather, depending from
narrow strips of the suede leather. The

shorter than the large ones and are used
alternately with them.

Recipes.
Cu it rant Cake.?Stir together one
cup each of sour cream and sugar, onehalf
cup of currants, one and a half
cup of i'our and one teaspoon of soda:
flavor with nutmeg and bake in buttered
tins. *
Vegetable Salad.?Take the four
sliced potatoes, two carrots and two
turnips which have been cooked in the
corned-beef soup, chop and mix twc
cups ot cabbage ana two 01 celery ana
arrauge in alternate layers with the I
cooked vegetables in a salad dish, adding
mayonnaise dressing flavored witb
fresh lemon juice.
Corned Beef Soup.?Let seven
pounds of cheapest cut of corned beef
be soaked and parboiled so as to remove
the surplus salt, then simmer j
slowly three hours. Let the liquor
stand until all the fat rises. Skim oil ;
the fat. Add a quart of tomatoes, two !
carrots, two small white turnips, two
onions and four large potatoes, all pared
and sliced thin. Let simmer one hour.
Strain and serve the soup hot, reserving
the cooked vegetables for a salad.
Young Carrots tn B(;ttf.r.?Wash
them well, then rub them dry with a
coarse kitchen towel, boil them in plain
water about fifteen minutes; drain off
the water. The skin will be somewhat
discolored, but with a coarse towel,
quickly handled, the outer skin may be
removed, showing the golden color of
the toothsome vegetable to an advantage.
Quarter them, put them in a hot vegetable
.dish, add a liberal quantity of
butter, a little pepper and salt, and
serve.
Potato Croquettes.?After boiling
ten large potatoes till they are done,
drain and mash with three ounces of
butter and the yolks of four eggs. Cool
these mashed potatoes by spreading
them out upon a plate, after which they
can be shaped into the form of a croquette,
rolled in cracker meal and
dipped into beaten eggs. After rolling
these croquettes once more in cracker
meal they should be fried brown in
plenty of hot fat. They sre then ready
to be served, which should be done upon
a folded napkin.
Mayonnaise of Fish.?Boil a pickerel
in salted water with lemon juice in it;
be careful that the fish does not break.
"When done let it get cold; remove the
bonus carefully and cut the flesh into
neat, smooth bits the si/e of a thimble.
Let them stand for an hour or so in a
little oil and vinegar or oil and lemon
juice. Then dress some nicc lettuce
with Mayonnaise sauce and arrange the
bits of fish around the dish, mixing
with them canned shrimps cut in small
pieces. Put more Mayonnaise sauce over
the whole. Celery may be used in place
of the lettuce.
The Lost Atlantis.
For maqy centuries there has been a tradition
of a long lost island called Atlantis.
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.

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
