: A PREVENTIVE FOIl PLANT MILDEW.
f A preventive of mildew upon plants:
Take three pounds each of flowers of <
sulphur and quicklime. Slake the lime j
and boi! with the sulphur in six gallons 1
of water until reduced to two gallons. ;
Allow this to settle, then pour olf the ;
clear liquid and bottle it for use. An old
iron pot will answer to boil it in. Mix a ]
gill of this liquid with live gallons of i
water, and shower upon the plants as !
soon as the mildew appears.?Boston ;

A QUESTION At OUT OAT HARVESTING. (
One of the questions for farmers to
begin to consider is whether oats to be '
fed on the farm should not be cut while '
the grain is yet in the milk, and cured, j '
stra-.v anil all, for feeding without '
threshing? Of course the portion of the '
crop that is to be used for seed or sold
in the market must ripen and be threshed; '
but, as an Eastern paper puts it, "It is
difficult to sec any advantage in all the '
labor of threshing out oats to put in a '
bin and the straw in a stack, only to put 1
them together again in the manger." <
But we do not advise raising oats for s
hay in any country natural to the hay i
crop, and for the reason that, where so, i
the hay is cheapest.?Prairie Fanner. 1
CURING THE RUXXIXG AWAY HABIT. ]
A habit of running away is fatal to the usefulness
of a horse. It is the fault of 1
training, for in the training escape from
control should never be permitted. The
vice may be cured in this way: Fasten
_ two strong rings m lac lop 01 me urmic,
B- one on each side; put a strong round
I cord through these rings so that it can
be drawn on as the driving lines are. As
soon as the horse starts he is cheeked by
pulling on the cord, which presses on the
windpipe and shut; of! tho breathing. If
he persists in running he will soon drop,
but this is seldom done; some shaking of
the head and the runaway will stop. After 1
standing a few minutes he may be pulled
up a few times until he learns that the ,
driver has control of him.?American

From a little experience wo have re- 1
cently had with mushrooms, we arc satisfied
they may be often grown with profit i1
by farmers for near markets. They
bring a high price at certain seasons of : i
the year, but when farmers gather those j
for sale which grow naturally in the < i
fields tnc price is usually lowest, lo
get the best price?, they should be grown ,
in hotbeds, .':s gardeners do, planting the i1
spawn or thread-like seeds in beds
properly prepared and well fertilized. I'
It is the heat quite as much as the man- !
ure that makes the spawn productive. (
Perhaps wherever there is a good market
for mushrooms a hotbed cannot be de- J
voted to more profitable use than this. i
The market may be cultivated by gather- ]
ing and selling the mushrooms that at
this season may oftcu be gathered in ]
fields. There are many varieties of r
mushrooms, and a thorough knowledge 1
of this subject turns itself into money <
more surely than knowledge of anything
flfeelse will. The mushroom is in Europe (
T - considered a substitute for meat. A (
i pound of it can more chcaply be grown ,
than a pound of meat, and it always j
brings a higher price, as it deserves to

j THE CAUSE OP POOR RADISH SEED. ^
r It is stated, upon what seems good au- j
thority, as well as good sense, that the
poor quality of radish seed that comes to
our market is the result of saving tho .
. seed from stocks that have not been transplanted.
This story, however plausible
it may appear, is in no respect true. Tho 1
true state of the ease is, all the radish
seeds which come to our country arc j1
grown from transplanted roots. The j 1
growers would not produce them in nay 1
other way; the seeds are sown in seed- j'
beds, quite closely, and, when fit for the i '
table, they arc transplanted into the field, j
They are first grown in seed-beds for' <
economic reasons, r.s a given amount of l
seed-bed will furnish roots that will plant j i
at least fifty times as much ground as the <
6eed-bed contains. This enables the ; 1
growers to economize time and labor. I
Much of the seed grown in France is ;

FOOD FOR CIIICKS. (
Millions of littlo chickens are now 1
toddling about iu front of the coops of | c
.^our land. What will bccomc of them? | r
Most of them will die at about the age ;
of five days for lack of jight feeding, c
JjCt us try, this summer, to\save some of 11
these unconsenting martyrs >?o the ig- 11
norance or laziness of their ^cwners. j s
Granted safe coops, cleanlincsstN^nd a
jBptherly beiw; nourishing food, pjopcf-J i
]y fed, will do the rest. Usually the
question is how to use Indian corn advantageously,
because, at present, this
food is the great American reliance.
Corn meal ought to be well cooked before
a grain of it is fed to young poultry.
Raw corn, even if scalded, irritates
young intestines, and it should be palatably
cooked so that it will be eagerly
eaten. The idea should be, not to manage
with as little food as possible, but on
the contrary to urge the chickens to cat
ill thai they can profitably digest. Clean
feeding trays are as important in this
point of view as they are in the matter of
health. Chickens hate dirt and dirty
dishes. The mold on an old feeding
board is a plant which will grow rapidly
:a their "little inside*." To make a
!jood "standby" pudding for chickenfeed,
take one-half yellow corn meal,
one-half middlings or bran, and a little
salt. Mis soft with skim-milk and bake
slowly. If the milk is sour, put in some
socla. Oac can substitute for the milk
a broth made of the table scraps. This
- - -? i 1 J\ ? _ x
pucitlinrr can Do use.i as a sicauy uiui,
varied by an occasional day of oatmeal.
If there is not enough meat iu the table
scraps, add more.
Give your chickens milk to dnnk always
if you can; give water also or they
(vill suffer from thirst; and beware of the
tyrotoxicoa which kills many babies and
ihickens. Sour milk soon turns to
spoiled milk. Don't delude yourself by
trusting that your chicks will do exactly
is well when you miss a fcoding timo or
two, provided you leave extra fool
ivltfch will keep sweet, but they will not
prosper as when fed at the regular hours.
Litttlc chicks often starve to death rathir
than cat stale, dusty food. Look out
for the scrawny fledglings; every one
will look out for the downy new ones.?

TEMPERANCE DAD FOlt OXE TRADE.
It is frequently alleged that the destruction
of tho drink traffic would injure the
business of many honest people. The following
striking instance is given by tho Glasgow
llcf'onner, a trustworthy temperance
paper: "At a recent meeting of tho Altrincham
Board of Guardiaus, it was reported
that in consequence of tho doctors prescribing
cod liver oil instal l of intoxicants, tho
number of deaths has been so much reduccd
that the undertakers refused to make coffin;
at the current rate." The undertaker is
quite hones-t in his belief that tcmperance is
bad for trade.

will go on accumulating, and as the

power of the individual diminishes Serious,
especially, is the future of tho problem in its
relation to woman; for on the health of the
mother depends the health of her children.'1

REUNITED BY TEMPERANCE.
Once married and divorced and reunited
ftimin under most novel circumstances is the
domestic history of William J. aud Gertrude
A. Ayers, who for the second time stood before
a minister of the Gospel last night and
were pronounced man aud wife, ana in the
presence of her little children, three sturdy
urchins, who huddled together on the edge of
the platform and gazed curiously about while
their father and mother were taking up
again the broken threads of their domestic
life and promising to live for each other
through life and through death and for batter
or worse. Ayers is the President of a
Prohibition Club" at 701 West Lake street,
and the ceremony that reunited him with his
divorced wife was conductci under the auspices
of the club. It was intended for an examples
and lesson in temperance, an I a largo
crowd of colli water advocates wore present.
The result of the first attempt of this pair to
sail the matrimonial seas is commonplace
enough. Ayers was a paperhangcr and
painter, a good mechanic, and married tho
girl of his choice. They lived happily
enough until the husband n^gtectcJ his wife
r ....1.,,n nnininn: hr>
became confirmed in drunkenness she left
him and secured a divorce. Like Saul of
Tar.-us Avers was converted and became a
Prohibition leader. He organiz ?d the St. John
Prohibition Club aud made it a great
success. Working hard in the day-timo an I
preaching temperance an l religion at night,
ho succeeded both temporally and spiritually,
and a few weeks ago made his last payment
on the furniture for a neat little home. In
the meantime lie helped his former wife sii|>port
the three little boys, tin result of the
marriage, and wlven he proposal that tiny
begin agair. where tiny ha I left o!l' she was
nothing loth. The marriage last night was
the fulliilment of her promise to again trust
her life into his keeping. It was suggested
to him that he make tin occasion a practical
temperance lesson,and without regard to tne
opinion of the outside and perhaps sco.'Iing
world invitations were issued to t'ae general
public. None wereunbi Idea to the wed ling
feast that followed the ceremony, the only

There was a large crowd in attendance. It
was a temperance love feast, and before tho

recitations and songs. The ceronnny was
performed by Rev. C. H. Scliofield, according
to the ritual of the Episcopal Church.

How Cotton Cargoes Often Catch Fire.
Captain Benjamin Doanc, of Plainfield,
N. J., who recently retired from the
command of the steamer Cherokee, of
the Clyde Line, after twenty years of
seafaring life, furnished a lYibune reporter
with some interesting information
about cotton fires on shipboard. The
vessels that Captain Doaue commanded
were in every case cotton carriers of considerable
capacity. From personal observations
he discovered the cause of many
cotton fires on the coasting shipping.
Said he:
"Cotton is as infiamable as gunpowder.
To my mind, most cotton fires are started
when the bales are tumbled down the
hatchway into the hold. My chief ofli- ,,
ccr came to me one day and told me that
in his opinion the iron bindings of the
cotton bales were striking fire on the
stanchions in the hold as the merchandise
was tumbled down. I went down
to see for myself. For two hours.I
watched the bales of cotton as they disappeared
in the hold, and whenever I
noticed a bale strike a spark I ordered
the bale to be thrown aside for examina
tion.
"The flint spark invariably burned a
hole, clean-cut as if it had been done
with a red-hot darning needle, which
penetrated to the ceu^a; of the bale.
Oftentimes the lire went out for the want
of air. Sometimes the tiny spark would
smoulder for days, burning, meanwhile,
some of the cotton in the center of the
bale, before going out.
"The only way to avoid a fire from
this sourcc is to sheath with cloth the
stanchions below the deck. This I did,
and therefore never had a fire on board
my vessel. I think few captains of ships
know this fact; if they did they would
follow my example."?New York Tribune.
The South American Ostrich.
A gentleman writing from the Argentine
Republic about the rhea, or South
American ostrich, says the male bird
makes the nest, hatches the eggs and
takes care of the young birds. We had
some (so-called) "tame" ostriches about
the cstancia. One day, I came across
the old cock in a nest that it had made
in the dry weeds and grass. Its wings
and feathers were loosely arranged, and
lookc'J not uulike a heap of dried grass;
at any rate, the bird did not attract my
attention until I was close on him. The
long neck was stretched out close along
the ground; the crest-feather3 were
flattened, and an appalling hiss greeted
my approach. It was a pardonable mistake,
if, for a momeDt, I thought I had
come across a huge snake, and sprang
back hastily under this impression.
"When a troop of these birds is alarmed
while yet at a distance from the enemy,
they run with their wings either close to
the side in tbc normal position, or raised
above the back into a narrow wedge
that offers but little resistance to the air.
But when a bird is somewhat pressed, it
usually droops the wings loosely, almost
trailing them. And when in danger of
being caught by dogs, or struck by the
bclas of a horseman, it begins to dodge
and twist in a very curious manner, the
wings assuming various positions. It
' ? v At. _ ?; xi
woum seem as inougn tuu wings uius
used may help the bird to make its sudden
halts and turns; and also, when dogs
are used in the chase, to baffle the
attacks of these enemies.
Remarkable Cure for Leprosy.
The Chinese are discussiug the problem
of leprosy, a disease which abounds
to a frightful extent in certain parts of
the Celestial Empire. In the province of
Kuangtong, particularly, the scourge
abounds,even the third-class towns being
compelled to support their leper villages.
Some of the leper settlements are 200
years old, and, strangely enough, most of
them are located in the very business
centers of prosperous towns. This extraordinary
feature is tolerated for two
reasons: First, because the people do
not fear the disease; and sccond, be- r
cause, by being near the rich anil pros?

begging, thus doing away with the necessity
of imposing a general tax for their
sustenance. The Chinese doctors are
giving much attention to the study of the
disease, and it is claimed that leprosy
can be cured if it be treated soon enough.
Mgr. Chausse, Vicar Apostolic at Kuangtong,
tells of one sufferer (a Chinese merchant
of wealth and position) who has recovered
from the scourge. The treatment
was remarkable. A. buffalo was
filled; then the leper was thrust into the
carcass of the beast aud ma le to lie there
among the decaying entrails for somewhat
more than a week. It is a question
whether death were not preferable to
this kind of treatment. But the patient
in this case submitted to the treatment

Horns From the llam.in Body.
Horns growing from the human skin
are very uncommon in their occurrence,
but one of the foreign medical journals
contains an account from a physician of
a ease of this kind treated by him, the
subject being a laboring mau of sixtyfive
years. The horn projected for an
inch from the lower lip on the right side,
and had a blunt cxtemity, was (irmly adherent,
and the skin around at the base
exhibited superficial ulceration. The fact,
as elicited, was that it had first appeared
as a small warty growth some three year3
previously, had slowly increased, and,
after being cut oil with a razor on two
occasions, seemed to grow again quicker
each time. On the opposite side of the
same lip was what appeared to be another
warty growth in its early stages, and the
patient was in the habit of holding his
clay pipe this side, and not on that from
which the horn grew. There were no
glands enlarged, and the patient was iu a
good state of health. The treatment,
which was entirely successful, consisted
in the removal of the horn, together wit!;
the part of the lip to which it was at
tsichcd' bv mean:; of a small Y-shaped incision
under cocaine locally injected, and
bringing the edges together with one or
two sutures.?JS'cto York Tribune.

"Where arc they made?"
"I*- Indiana, chiefly. A solid block

with draw-knives, and the cavity of
the foot is gouged out with peculiarly

"Yes; more so than leather. A man

clumsy, .but lie is wise and feels more
comfortable."
"Who buy most of them?''
"Dairymen, gardeners, street car
drivers and actors. For wear where the
feet will be subjected to damp, nothing
is better, and there is nothing on earth
that can equal them for making a racket
when containing the nimble feet of a
skilled clog dancer on a polished stage
floor."
"When is the trade in them at its
best?"
"Just at the opening of winter, when
slush and ini>d btcome common."?Cincinnati

"firiddling" the Beggar's Fad.
Sunday begging appears to be growing
popular and flourishing in Lambeth,
a London suburb. Two sturdy fellows,
Spinks aud Wilkins by name, who were
brought before Mr. Biron, belong to a
gang of beggars who have introduced a
little novelty into their professional calling
by singing or shouting hymns in the
streets on Sundays. To this system the
name of "griddling" has been applied,
and, according to the evidence, it is a
paying line. The defendants had collected
some pennies from passcrs-by in a
very short time, and the "griddlers,'' it
was stated, were known to boast, as they
returned to their haunts in Deptford and
Southwark, "how much they could makin
a few hours, and how tl>*:y had gulled
the benevolent."?New York Journal.
Flowers in London's Heart.
In the very heart of the City of Lon- j
don the Bunk of England boasts within 1
its sacrcd prccincts ?s line a show of
rhododendrons as may be seen anywhere
in the Loodon radius. The garden is
tastefully laid out in a rectangular style
around a central fountain. The young
Stock Exchange men slip in en route to
business and get a buttonhole from this
superabundant supply.?Ncic York JourvuL
