:r AGRICULTURAL. TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AXI> GARDEN. TO GROW LARGE rCMPKINS. L To prepare ground for growing large J pumpkins, first have seed of a large variety to plant. Have the ground rich and ' mellow. Plant six or eight seeds in each hill six feet apart each way. Have some manure in button of each hill. When i bug time is over thin the hills to three ! stout plants each. If you wish to raise ' just a few specimens for prize exhibition i or seed purposes we would, after the ' pumpkins are nicely set, pick all off each vine but the best two, and if the season ; was any way dry water them. If house slops or liquid manures are used so much the better. t STARTING WITH POULTRY. The questions, how many fowls to keep, the best variety to begin with, and ! how to manage profitably, come up to j the farmer with his first thought upon j the subject of keeping poultry. He should not enter a new field of enterprise i hastily, anticipating more than be can j make his stock produce for him. If he has suitable accommodations, one hundred, or even fifty blooded fowls are ample. They can be made to pay a larger net profit than double the number of ordinary dunghill stock. For the farm, the Light Brahma, Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte, and White Dorking are among the best. The white varieties look better about the barn. The Barred Plymouth Rock, Langshan, Laced Wyandotte, and Java are also excellent. A farmer who ii? tfn/lidp flio linct wuvs r>f hand I VttiClunj awuiw ***** ? ling his poultry is taught by his own ob serration and experience how to maniige them profitably.?American Agriculturist. ' HEAVES CAN* ON'LT BE ALLEVIATED. There is no cure for heaves; it can only be ameliorated or lessened in extent by feeding on nutritive material in small bulk, and more frequent rations. All voluminous and coarse food should be avoided, such as timothy, millet and clover hay, and only the best of wild hay given in small quantities, preferably finely cut, mixed with mill feed or steamed food. Food and water should be consumed at least half an hour before such an animal is used for work. It is but natural that such a horse will become weak and faint when driven or j worked hard all day, for such a one is I only capable of performing slow and I light, and it is cruel to use him otherwise. "We could not decide the nature of the said stiffness in the other horse; it maybe due to chronic rheumatism, in which case the best course would be, in proper j season, to give him liberty on good j pasturage during two or three months. : Meanwhile avoid exposing hitn to cold | drafts or wet weather, especially during night.?Prairie Fanner. HOW TO HAVE GOOD HOXEY. As a rule a dry season is less flftorable i to bee-keepers than a wet one; but on | the other hand too wet. a season is not i desirable. In very wet seasons the plants I produce honey so rapidly that it is coarse in flavor, and the honey when prepared ^/or market is not as fine in flavor and r V .teste. The plants are unduly forced in their growth by the stimulating powers of the moisture, and their products are not as fine and so well matured as those of slower growth. The bees sometimes change the color and quality of the honey if they are in good condition physically, but as a rule the honey that is placed on the table is not much altered from that taken directly from the plants. Bees fed oil sugar syrup win mus store ?wa_y sugar in the combs, and when the honey is sold it will look clean and white. So attractive is this to the eyes of many that they will purchase it in preference to the strained honey, which is much j superior. There seems to be a general prejudice against dark honey, and it never sells until all of the white honey is disposed of. The clear amber-probably sells better than either one. Dark honey made from buckwheat is inferior in quality, but dark chestnut honey is of a superior flavor. But appearances go along way toward selling an article, and bee-keepers should remember that good dark honey will not bring its fair price. In planting for bees it is just as well, then, to plant only such Crops that produce the light, or amber colored honey. Buckwheat may also be sown,but too much of this gives a decidedly dark color to the honey, and an inferior flavor. One should have the ambition to make the honey product of the farm as well known for its quality as the fruits, for in this way a better price can in time be obtained for it. There are so mam romnounds called honev in the Hg market that the genuine article becomes Hkfcpwamped, and no fancy price will be paid it unless the purchaser is assured that it comes from a certain apiary; noted for its fine honey production. A name of sending nothing but the best honey to market is worth something to the apiarist. ?Boston Culticator. PACTS ABOUT PHEEP FEEDING. Feeders usually get their supply of sheep from the farmers. They select wethers that have been shorn twice, dry ' ewes in good thrift, and large, likely spring lambs. Latterly, however, farmers are beginning to feed their own surplus, and the large feeders often seek range sheep at the Western stockyards; but they are still likely to meet trouble from this class of stock, for it is sometimes afflicted with scab. When pastures I begin to fail the sheep ot each Kind are assorted into two or three grades and placed in pens of twenty to thirty each,in comfortable sheds or barns. The racks for lodder are slatted up and down with six-inch boards, six inches apart, and the feedtroughs are attached to the racks near the ground. Those who feed their own surplus strive to have a "deck-load" (half a car), which is from eighty to 100, becausc buyers will pay a little more for sheep in such convenient bunches; besides, it is little more labor to care for ( this number than a less. It is requisite . that the feeding-place be warm, dry aud j well ventilated, preferably by slide win- j dows. "Water is given in tanks or buckets, and these, as well as their feedhoughs, should be kept scrupulously particular, for these animals are particular, and will not eat or drink wh'.re they have Stepped a foot. They shouk be fed regularly, at stated hours, and by the eame person. At all other times they should !>e unmolested. The fodder is given first; when that in consumed the troughs ?:e swept clean and shelkd corn supplied, at tin; rate of two bushels per day to 100 sheep at first, to be increased to about three bushels later on; but this must be regulated by their inclination, choosing to feed a little under, rather than over, and throw them off their feed. They are fed but twice a day. A hospital pen should be provided, where any ailing ones can be cared for. There will be underling ones in [ every pen, so modest they will relinquish their places at the least insinuating nudge 1 from another. These should be given plenty of room, with others of similar disposition. Sheep arc fed sixty to ninety days, and lambs sometimes longer. The limit of greatest weight is soorycached; beyond that they only hold their own; yet, the prospect of increased prices later may warrant holding longer; ten to fifteen pounds a head is the average gain. The profit lies in the advance of price per pound on what they cost originally. Many feeders do not use a pound of hay, feed straw instead, and they turn out 1? ? ~ T4- *r? 1 fKnf onn oro lit'avv miccjj. 1\> ?uii cumv cuvvjy ?**v now more generally fed on farms where raised; but conveniences must be provide;!, or the attempt should not be made; also an aptitude for the business must be possessed?a kind of understanding of sheep-nature?else effort at fattening will prove abortive.?2few Fork Trilune. FARM AXD GARDEN NOTES. Roll the lawn early and often. Make all tramps work or move on. Remedy for worry?Earnest work. Be gentle with the colts and calves. Carefully guard against forest fires. Kerosene in the poultry house will keep down vermin. You will now be watching your broods that are coming out. Your attention to them will repay later on. Indian corn should be fed sparingly at this season of the year, as it has a tendency to fatten to an excess. A soil may be overfed and troubled with indigestion as well as the animal system, but it is oftener starved. The best and most natural flooring for hen houses, all things considered, is clean, dry earth upon an earth floor. If you grow Japanese buckwheat, do not grow it by the side of the common varieties, if you want it to keep pure. Good onion seed will sink in water, while that which floats cither does cot grow at all or produces only scullions. Straw scattered on a bare knoll in a meadow will operate as a mulch and soon cause a good crop of grass to grow on it. A fertilizer applied this year may be in a more available condition next, and better suited to the second crop than to the first. The farmer who prows his own food is not likely to starve to death. lie can pinch on almost anything else better than food. In transplanting trees more loss is occasioned by exposure of the roots than by their mutilation. Both should be avoided. Millet seed makes a good feed for poultry and especially when young. Care must be taken, however, not to feed too much. Popular Gardening is authority for the statement that no material has been found so satisfactory as earth for blanching celery. Clover should be cut when in full bloom. It increases but little in weight after that, but grows more fibrous and indigestible. Chickens can be hatched up to the first week in June and thrive well. Care should be taken uot to hatch after hot weather sets in. All nitrosen comes from the atmos phere, so does water. But plants have to draw both principally, if not -wholly, through the soil. Professor Wiley declares sorghum seeds second in value only to wheat. Flour made from it is declared superior to buckwheat for pancakes. Feed your poultry on raw onions, chopped fine, mixed with other food, about twice a week. It is better than a dozen cures for chicken cholera. Vegetable gardens will now be ready for manuring. The droppings from the poultry house can be used to good advantage. Have you any iaid away for use? Waldo F. Brown, of Ohio, says: "Good hay is not produced by tliiu seeding, for the grasses will grow coarse and rank, whereas heavy seeding will give fine, soft hay."

Rye provides green food when it can be had from no othei source. For home use a hog should never weigh more than 200 pounds net?180 pounds is better. Spring pigs of any improved breed can be brought to that size by the middle of December and at a little cost. The shipping of eggs for hatching has assumed enormous proportions and thousands of dollars change hands every month of the hatching season. There is money in catering to this demand with good stock. Any kind of good tarred roofing paper is suitable for poultry houses. Such a roof not only takes the place of shingles, but the coal tar with which it is filled gives it the additional advantage of repeling vermin. The presence of two or three inferior cows in a herd affects the average profit of the whole. If latrying is to be conducted as a paying business the most important requisite is a good cow in place of an inferior one. Mr. Willard said before a meeting of the Western New York Horticultural Society that, after an experience of five or six years with the Early River's peach, he believed it had a hardy fruit bud and would stand more cold than any other yarietics.

FEATS OF EATING WHICH ARE UNMATCHED IN HISTORY. How Kings and Dnkes Have Gorged, and Commoners Have Rivaled Haughtiest Nobles?A Doctor's Daily Meal. It is not difficult to make a long list of the people both of the past and present time whj had huge appetites, and were at the same time good companions and without physical ailments. All the Bourbon Kings of France were gourmands. Louis XIV. would eat for a meal four platefuls of soup, a whole pheasant, a partridge, a plateful of salad, mutton hashed with garlic, two good sized slices of ham, a dish of pastry, and plenty of fruit and sweetmeats. His unfortunate descendant, Louis XVI., had a large appetite, but no gastronomical genius. This is said to have caused much of his unpopularity with the French, who love a gastronome. His favorite meat was pork, and Parisians believe that he would have escaped from France had he not tarried to eat pigs' feet. M. de Semblacay, Bishop of Bourges, who ate six heavy meals a day and never rose satisfied, attributed his magnificent appetite to the fact that he said grace not only before and aft^each meal but at the removal of each service. Modern Paris has been prolific of eccentric or enormous eaters. A man used to go every Thursday for years to the famous restaurant kept by Philippe, no longer in existence, and eat, one after the other, the forty odd soups on the menu. After that he "had a meringue glacee au citron, and went away without having drunk a drop of wine. Another individual went for a long time on the fifteenth of each month to the Cafe Very and ate sixty little pots of vanilla ice cream without a spoon, in the way that hokey-pokey is ordinarily eaten here. He was the man who carried the head of the murdered Princess de Lamballe about the streets of Paris on a pike during the Revolution. At the Cafe Hardy, now the Maison d'Or, a man was observed to eat the meat of thirty-two cutlets, swallowing a large pickle after each. He had a high pile of saucers at his elbow, and kept one of them on the nape of his neck throughout the repast. As each became warm he replaced it by a cool one. In this way,he said, he avoided cerebral congestion, with which he was threatened. His precaution was to some extent successful, for he did not die of cerebral congestion, but was crushed to death by an omnibus. An amateur gourmand wished to enter into an eating match with Lemardelay, proprietor of the Piocher de Cancalc. "Shall we settle the menu at once?" he asked of Lemardelay. ,'Of what use?" replied the latter. "We will eat what> * -1? ?_ xi. : ever mere is, accoruing 10 iue muruiug s market. We shall commence with twelve dozen oysters, twenty-four cutlets, three capons?" "Each?" asked the challenger. "Of course," said Lemardclay. "And for the rest we will take whatever there is." The rash man went away and did not come back. The well-known restaurateur, Brebant, had a customer who was ashamed of the immense appetite with which nature had gifted him. He would go to Brebant and order a dinner for himself and eight friends. He told the restaurant keeper that he went in for military punctuality. When his guests did not arrive at the appointed hour he ordered the waiters to serve, and ate all the nine dinners himself, grumbling audibly all the while about the impoliteness of his friends. He carried out this farce habitually. Sarvarin says that he paid a visit one day to his friend, the Cure of Bregnier, a man of large stature. He found him at table before noon and watched him eat soup and bouilli, a leg of mutton a ? 1 1 1 la royaie, a nne capon, a large uowj ui salad and the fourth part of a cheese. He washed down this little repast with a bottle of wine and a decanter of water. General Bisson, also a friend of Savarin, drank eight bottles of wine every morning at breakfast without seeming to feel any effects from it. Englishmen of the last century habitually ate and drank to excess. At Dolly's Chop House in Queen's Head Passage, near Ludgate Hill, in London, the ingenious anatomist and chemist, Doctor George Fordyce, dined every day for more than twenty years. He believed that, since many animals thrived on one meal a day, so could men. He entered the chop house at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. A silver tankard of strong ale, a bottle of port and a measure containing a quarter of a pint of brandy were immediately placed before him, and a piece i steak weighing a pound and a half *as put on the grill. While the stesk was preparing he ate a grilled chicken or other similar morsel. Then he drank a glass of brandy and started in to eat his steak, during the consumption of which he drank his ale and port. "When he had finished the steak he drank the rest of the brandy. This meal occupied him just one hour and a half, and then he hurried away to his professional engage ments. He took no other food during the day.?New York Sun. Snakes as Pets. Mr. Conklin, as superintendent of the Central Park menagerie, is curiously optimistic with regard to reptiles. He not only shares the biblical sentiment concerning the wisdom of the serpent, but says that it is more docile and easier to tame than any other member of the brute creation. He has a number of pythons which are kept the greater part of the time in an improvised box on un upper floor of the Arsenal, and he visits them frequently, apparently finding as much pleasure in gazing upon the dull hues of their sinuous folds as if each scale was fraught with beauty. The largest of the pythons is a loathsome creature some teu feet in length, on which the affectionate appellation of "Tom" has been bestowed. When the keeper lifts Tom from his box, Mr Conklin goes up to the hissing monster and strokes him soothingly, tnuchas he might do to a dog or a horse. The Superintendent says that young women frequently come to him with the request that he will allow the keeper to instruct them in the manner of handling snakes; and that once the first loathing is overcome, these enterprising young women rapidly acquire the knowledge they desire. What their object is in gaining it is not clear, but ?tlr. Conklin thiuks that it ie to gain the attendaut glory, or that in some cases it is the initial step toward becoming a professional snake charmer.?iVtw York Commercial Advertiser. " HOUSEHOLD MATTEKS.

The albumen of an egg coagulates at 160 degrees of heat, and when the boiling point, 212 degrees, is reached it becomed insoluble. At 160 degrees the albumen whitens, but remains tender and delicate and perfectly digestible. An egg properly cooked, then, is one which has not been subjected to too great heat ?a point by which very few cooks are governed. The simplest method of cooking them is boiling, which is best done by pouriDg boiling water into a saucepan, then drawing to one side of the range or stove that it may not quite boil, and putting the egg in, cover and let stand ten minutes. The heat will thus thoroughly penetrate the entire egg and make it thick and creamy like a custard. ? Washington Star. recipes. John's Cold Slaw?Chop the cabbage very fine?the finer the better.

A dog was actually tried for his life in the Boston Municipal Court recently. The defendant was a handsome setter named Towser. Ilis master retained able counsel. The dog was placed in the prisoner's box, and amid the titter of the spectators and the smiles of Judge Curtis, the trial began. A man swore that the prisoner had bitten him, and he therefore wanted him killed, according to law. On cross-examination witness admitted that he had provoked the prisoner by teasing him. Several witnesses for the defence testified as to the good character of the accused. The latter was then brought forward in his own behalf and furnished testimony as novel as it was effective. At various commands he played dead, walked on his hind legs about the room, stood on his head, shouldered arms, whined dismally in imitation of a song and wound up by marching up the steps to the Judge's desk on his hind legs and shaking paws with his honor. The Judge, without a moment's hesitation, said, amid cheers: "Towser, you are a peaceable and orderly canine. I give judgment in your behalf and dismiss you, the plaintiff paying the costs."
