ADVANTAGE O? ENSILAGE.
Gradually the chemists are coming
twn to the practical advantage of ensile
and meeting the farmers on the plane
farm practice. In spite of the chems'
objections that there was a wa^te of
itritive matter in the process and that
e loss would be found a fatal objec>n
on the score of economy, the prac:e
of ensilage has spread wide and far
d stays where it spreads. Among the j
actical and conservative English farm3
it has become even more popular than
has here, where it may be said to have
Iiginated in its present form and mankr
of preparation. The English have,
bwever, gone far ahead of us in regard
methods of practice, making enslag'j
' stacks and without a silo. This, hower,
must be considered as a practice of
lestionable value here, where timber is
cheap, while it is very costly there.?

now TO RAISE TOMATO PLANTS.
A farm paper has the following on this
biect: A large grower of tomatoes has
>und the following plan of raising J
ants all that can be desired: He rolls
rips of resin paper into cylinders, three
ches in diameter and six inches deep,
eking the ends by driving two ticks
rough the paper, and clinching them on
piece of iron pipe and an anvil or block,
hese bottomless cups are arranged in
e frame and filled with soil in which
e seed is planted. "When the plants are
ady to set out, they are large and well
oted, and are transplanted with the
dindcr around them. This is slipped
> so as to project three inches above the
ound and make an obstacle over which
it-worms will not climb, and so the
inger is evaded, as well as all risk of
lecking the growth by transplanting,

We admire the young fancier who is

id safer way of beginning than by pickig
up this or that brded merely because

de3. Taste is usually accompanied by

rery experienced fancier knows that a j
al love for the birds one keeps is a great |
ement of success. Begin in spring or I
kll to breed poultry, but be sure to begin
bwly, and learn by degrees he art of
lating, caring for and managing a small
Dck before you launch headlong into
reeding on a large scale. Make the
eeping of poultry a second'pursuit in the
acrinninor finrl until VA11 h.ive found it
kore agreeable, pleasurable and better
aying than the occupation you first folded.
Begin with good breeding stock
lough you may have to pay a big price,
emember that this is putting your money
) big interest. After you have started
ieir care or keeping will cost no more,
r not much more, than if the same nuinerof
inferior or common fowls were
ept, and the profits from the sale or use
f the eggs and their living product, for
ither ornament or utility, is much greater j

REMEDY FOK STAGGERS IN HORSES.
Vertigo, staggers or megrims in horses
lay be caused by almost any kind of
rain disorder, such as tumors, congesion
or from sudden compression of the
ugular veins. Among young animals
iverfeeding and want of regular exercise
?fton produces slight spasms or dizziness.
)uring warm weather in summer, coninement
in a warm, unventilated stable,
rom which the animal is suddenly taken
nto the open air, will sometimes produce
i severe attack of vertigo, especially with
lorses predisposed to this malady. Iii
reatment much depends upon the condiion
and age of the animal. If very fat,
hen restricted diet will be beneficial,
jiving an ounce of hyposulphite of soda
lissolved in a pint of water; then mix
rith bran or ground feed. This mediane
may be given three times a week for
^ month. If the horse is not fat, feed
ttts and good hay and avoid excitement,
md in warm weather and when driving
ceep a wet sponge on the top of the head
jetween tne ears. Should the horse
lave an attack of vertigo while on the
oad or work in the field, loosen the
5heek rein, throat latch and collar, and
;hrow a handkerchief or light blanket
>ver his eyes to shut out the light,
rhen, as soon as possible, apply cold waier
to the head and neck, but in doing so
ise every precaution to prevent fright.?

DErTII TO PLANT SEED.
No infallible rule can be given for this.
Even in the same locality the condition
>f the soil and variations of the seasons
Bill make a considerable difference in
his respect, Even opinions will differ
is to the proper depth for planting. In
, cold, wet soil, and especially if inclined
d be stiff, seed should be planted near
ie surface; in a more sandy or loamy
ail, a deeper covering will be better.
If the soil is warmer and moist, plant
little deeper, and if dry, still deeper.
1 certain stage or degree of warmth
md moisture is essential in order to serure
a good germination of the seed, and
his should always be considered in determining
the depth to cover the seed.
Some seed must be covered reasonably
deep, while others should be covered as
lightly as possible; in fact, some seed
will germinate and grow by coming in
contact with the soil, and without being
covered.
In Colorado, "Western Kansas, and
Other Western localities with a light,
loamy soil, seed is planted deep: in fact,
it is necessary in order to secure a proper
growth of the plants. Com is often
? ^ /. ... ; . . , .
i
planted ten or twelve inches deep, a depth
that in other soils would be equivalent to
burying entirely, as it would not germinate
covered at such a depth. Usually
four inches is sufficiently deep to cover
corn in an average soil, unless it is loose
or dry, when it will be better to increase
the depth.
With the majority of small seeds, grass
and vegetables, a good rule is to cover
twice as deep as the length of the seed,
this to be taken as an average season and
an average soil, increasing the depth in a
dry season if necessary, to secure the
moisture essential to a good germination.
Oats need but a light covering, and can
I usually lie covered with a harrow or
I brush. Wheat ought to be covcrcd deeper.
; Potatoes planted in a good, loamy soil
ought to be covered reasonably deep. A
soil that is inclined to bake, will often
form a crust through which it is impossible
for the young plant to force its waj
whether planted deep or shallow,..

FARM AXD GARDEN NOTES.
Set the hens at night.
SunshiDe is better than medicine. _
Poultry and fruit are twins?keep them
so.
Never set a hen where others can get at
her.
Sow peas for early table use without
i delay.
Speed the plow, the seeder and the
harrow.
One of the essentials of soiling is a
fertile soil.
Every farm ought to have its experimental
patch.
The trus economy of farming is to do
everything well.
Sow early and often of vegetable seeds
for early table use.
A flock of poultry is necessary to the
well being of every rural home.
A nice flock of poultry ought to keep
up a farmer's table in splendid shape,
j Save the best birds for next year's
breeding and send the others to market.
Old ducks never get lice. The oily
nature of their feathering prevents vermin.
The early killed is the easily killed
weed and the weed that robs the crop
least. .... .
If you are careful to keep the furrows
straight you will do faster and bettei
plowing.
Don't fool away your time with poor
teams or poor implements, lustwaumj
of time to have only the best.
If you would dry your soil, stir deep
and often, but if you would retain the
moisture, stir only the surface.
A diversity of crops distributs work,
receipts snd expenses more evenly through
the year and through the years.
No matter what kind of a milk can is
adopted, all patrons of a creamery should
be required to use the same kind.
Good seed is a most important matter ir

it is unreasonable to expect a good stand.
The secret of first-class butter-making
from top to bottom is cleanliness, says a
farmer whose butter brings him fifty
cents a pound the whole year round.
Milking tubes are liable to result in injured
teats sooner or later, especially in
the hands of a careless operator, and
should not be used unless really necessary.
The farmer who depends on clover and
timothy for pasture cannot turn on it
earlier, on an average, than the 10th of
May without damaging it, and some years
it will be later, says an Ohio farmer.
Almost everybody can get bees of some
sort near home, and all you have do is to
get such a queen as you want, by mail;

Hunting in Patagonia.
Tlunting in Patagonia is first-rate; and
the hunting equipments are works of art.
The saddle gear consisted of sheepskins,
gunny bags, old blankets, or anything
else that would tend to diminish possible
inconvenience occasioned by the too close
proximity of the horses' backbones.
Among fifteen or twenty huntsmen there
might appear two or three saddles. Some
of the Patagonia horses had been trained
by the Pehuelches Indians, whose steeds
are distinguishable by having one ear
split in two. Such a horse needs but to
see the game and his rider has little more
to concern himself with except the surest
method of remaining on his back. These
horses, if left to their own devices (as
they should be in hunting), never go
over an obstacle, but dodge around it
with the quickness of lightning, darting
now to left and now to right with such
marvelous rapidity that even a good rider,
unaccustomed to this mode of progression,
may easily find himself in contact
with mother earth, especially if he has
been obliged to ride astride the characteristic
saddle substitute. The hares are

General Rosecrans's Scarred Face.
' Did you ever notice the peculiar onesided
expression of General Rosecrans's
face?" said a gentleman to me a few days
ago. The Register of the Treasury had
j ju>t passed us on Pennsylvania avenue.
"That peculiar expression," continued
my companion, "has a history connected j
with it. Very few people know that
General Rosecrans was the first man who
ever refined petroleum. He experimented
with it forty years ago. People
said he was a fool, but he went on with
his experiments. Presently his petroleum
blew up and burned his face in a serious
way. He has suffered from that injury
ever since. "When we consider the
almost innumerable valuable uses to
which petroleum has been put since that
time, the scar on his face seems as honorable
-as any ever a? 1 in battle."?

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
THE COOK STOVE A SHAM.
A -writer in the North American Review
says that in the matter of economy
the American cook-stove of the present
day is "a scientific sham." He declares
that we use every day in the year fifty
times the fuel actually needed. Chief
among the sourccs of this waste is the
fact that we use cold-blast stoves. Oui
hot-air blast furnaces date from an invention
of Nielson in 1*328, and the same
principle, when applied in the regenerative
gas-lamp, results in more heat and
light, with economy of fuel. The invention
of a regenerative cooking-stove is
now in order.
rr.ETTY FISH >"APEO.
A pretty fish napkin can be made from
a piece of fine bird's eye linen, twentyseven
inches square. From each corner
cut a piece that will measure eight inches
one way and six and a half the other.
This will leave a niece shaned like an
open envelope. On the two longest flaps
have stamped a pattern of fish?three
small ones and a large one on one flap and
six small ones on the other. Work them
first in outline in salmon-colored floss;
fill in the fins and tails and all lines ol
shading in chain stitch with white floss.
The lines representing water should be
done in outline with pale blue floss.
Fringe it all around an inch deep and
hem-stitch the fringe before drawing all
the threads. Fold the two flaps over first
and then the embroidered' ones, just to
meet each other. The pattern is very
handsome, worked entirely in white floss.

NUTRITIOUS FOOD.
The substance richest in muscic ranking
is albumen, and is contained in the white
of an egg and the lean of meat. The
carbon needed to sustain the heat of the
body is most abundant in vegetables and
cereals, which furnish a large amount of
starch; oil is also of importance in supplying
carbon to the system, but does not
nourish the muscle. Butter is the least
objectionable of all fats; beef fat is more
wholesome than lard, while the fat from
salt pork and smoked bacon is less injurious
than thit from the fresh pork.
Carbon is also supplied by the use of sugai
which in moderate quantities has noillef-1
feet. Nearly all fruits are nch in sugar, j
hence their worth as food. Eggs contain ,
a great deal of carbon, and are for that j
reason excellent food, to combine with j
articles composed largely of starch. Phos-}

PEPPER POCLTICES.
A dear friend of mine, who was a Cora
doctor, used to come in every day to see
how her baby was thriving, because it was
my first one, and she always claims a
share of the little one. She would sc
often help me out. in cases of emergency.
For instance, if the baby had taken cold,
and her breathing was hard and quick,
Mrs. D. would say she must make a pepper
poultice. After baby was dressed foi
the night Mrs. D. would go to th<
kitchen', get a small stew-pan, put in
about a cup of milk and set it on thi
stove. As it heated she stirred in th<
ground, black pepper, a little at a time,
till it was a thick paste. Then she took
old flannel and spread on it this paste, an
inch thick, and put it on as warm as tin
child could bear it, letting it come up on
the throat and as high up on the shoulderi
as possible, pinning it with safety pins to
the little undershirt. It will not blister,
and the pepper will keep it warm a long
time; in fact, all night, if the little ont
is sleeping comfortably. For that reason
I prefer it to any other kind; and if the
child should waken I never think it ii'
best to take oil a poultice unless I have j
another one hot or a thick piece of flannel
real hot to put on in its place. This ij j
also good for croup, asthma, or any acut*!
inflammation of the throat or lungs. ]

Origin of "Unclc Sam."
Speculation has recently arisen regarding
the origin of the term ltUncle Sam" as applied
to the United States Government.
In the war of 1812, betwoenthis country
and Great Britain. Elbert Anderson, of New
York, purchased in Troy, N. Y., a large
amount of pork for the American Army.
It was inspected by Samuel Wilson, who
was popularly known as "Uncle Sam.'' Thp
barrels of pork were marked "E. A., U. S.."'
the lettering being done a facetious employe
of Mr. Wilson.
When asked by fellow-workmen the meaning
of the mark (for the letters U. S., for
United States, were then almost entirely
new to them), said "000101101/ kuuw, uuiv?
it meant Elbert Anderson and Uncle Sam,"'
alluding to Uncle Sam Wilson.
The joke took among the workmen, and
passed currently, and "Uncle Sam" himself
being present, was occasionally rallied
on the increasing extent of his possessions.
Soon the incident appeared in print, and the
joke gained favor rapidly, till it penetrated
and was recognized in every part of the
country, and, says John Prcst, the Boston
historian, will 110 doubt continue so while the
United States remains a nation.
It is now firmly imbedded in the Mosaic
of our language, like "Tippecanoe," "Log
Cabin," and other short but expressive
phrases, which refer to important events in
the history of the Republic. Both "Tippecanoe"'
and "Log Cabin" have taken on
renewed force and vitality since their adoption
by Hon. H. H. Warner, of Safe Cure
fame, in the naming of two of Ins great
standard remedies, the principal one known
as Warner's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla. They
are based upon formulae so successfully used
by our ancestors in the cure of the common
ailments to which their arduous labors rendered
them liable in the good old Log Cabin
davs.
The name of Warner's Safe Cure, likewise,
will be held in high esteem, as familiar
as a household word, while it continues to
cure the worst forms of Kidney Disease,
which the medical profession confesses itself
unable to do.
The Baptist Census.
The Baptists of the Dominion of Canada
report 77,310 members. In the West
Indies there are 40,925, mostly colored;
in Great Britain, 300,000, with another
100,000 on the Continent of Europe; in
Australasia there are 15,128; In Asia, 71,414,
and in Africa, 3673. The "grand
total" given in the "Year Book" is 3,608,458.
But this does not include the Free
Will Baptists of this country, who report
S2,68G members, nor others who are as
truly members of the denomination at
large as are the Open Communion and
Arminian Baptists of Great Britain. The
Baptists of the United States other than
the "Regular'' Baptists number 263,9S7.
This does not include the Disciples who
differ from the Evangelical churches in
certain doctrines, but practice immersion,
and who number (520,000; nor the Mennonites,
numbering 93,000, who, though
practicing sprinkling,reject the sprinkling
of infants; nor the Dunkards, sometimes
called Quaker Baptists, who number 95,000.
For the purposes of comparison, it
may be noted that the various Methodist
bodies of this country have about four

of a million, the Presbyterians of
all kinds a little upward of a million, the

A Cheap Marriage.
While a Justice of the Peace of a country
town sat warming his feet by the stove
and his nose by a pipe a stranger entered
and presently inquired:
"Judge, how much will you charge me
to read over about fifteen lines of printed
matter from a book I have?"
"Why, can't you read them?" asked
His Honor.
"I can, but I want to hear how they
sound when read aloud. I'll give you a

"All right," said the Justice, "I can't

A woman opened the door at that
moment and the stranger put down the
book on the desk, clasped her hand and
said:
"Begin at the pencil mark there and
read slowly."

Living for Centuries in a {solid Rock.
The dislodgement of live bats and
toads from solid limestone or coal seems
to have so often occurred as to need no
nore proof of the fact. The possibility
a suspension of animation for great
periods of time is certainly possible in
the case of some creatures. Recently a
'ive bat was dug out in Romney, W. Ya.,
by men quarrying rock. The hole in the
stone was large enough for the bat's
body. A case occurred at .'3arton, Md.,
svhen the superintendent of the mines
had a plaster cast taken cf the cavity.
The bat was found one mile from the
mouth of the mine, and 200 feet from
the surface above. Those who have been
in caves and witnessed the enormous congregation
of bats will not wonder that
they should"become imbedded at times;
but that they should retain vitality for
years and ages is t he miracle. It now
remains for man to find out if this power
of the lower creatures is totally lost to
those of a higher organic and functional

How Tliey Vote in Greece.
"Any man in Greece can be a candidate
for any office," says Dr. Constanfine;
"and when a man announces himself as a
candidate, the government must provide
a ballot box for him. If ten men announce
themselves as candidates for
Mayor, a separate box is set up for each
candidate and every voter must vote in
each of the ten boxes."
"Then each candidate would get the
same number of votes, I should think."
"That is possible, ' it I never knew it
to happen. Let me explain a little
further.
"We vote with black and white balls.
Each ballot is divided into a black and
a white compartment with a funnel in
the middle. Every voter is given white
balls and black balls, and putting his
hand down in the funnel, drops them as
he chooscs. A white ball is for and a
black ball against a man. If the citizen
wishes to vote for Mr. A, and for him
only, he drops a white ball into his bos
and black balls into the other nine (there
are ten candidates), or he can vote for
two of the candidates?or for the whole
ten if he clioos s, his vote being really of
no account in taat case, of course. The
man who has most white balls in his box
is elected. When two representatives are
to be elected, the man having the next
highest number of white balls gets the
second place, and so on."
"Bayenx Tapestry."
"Bayeux tapestry" is a web of canvas/
or linen cloth 214 feet long by twenty
inches wide, preserved in the public
library at Bayeux. Upon this web is embroidered,
in woolen thread of various
colors, a representation of the invasion
and conquest of England by the Normans.
Tradition asserts it to be the work of
Matilda, wife of William the Conquerer,
and it is believed that if she did not
actually stitch the whole of it with her
own hands she at least took part in it and
directed the execution of it by her maids,
and afterward presented it to the Cathedral
of Bayeux as a token of her appreciation
of the effective assistance which
the Bishop, Odo, rendered her husband at
the battle of Hastings.
