r - ? . / . AGRICULTURAL. ^ TOPICS OP INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AXD GARDEN. CARE OF GOSLINGS. ^ For the first three or four days, says a ."Western farmer, goslings must be kept warm and dry, and fed on oatmeal or barley-meal, mixed with milk, if easily procurable, if not, with -water. They will begin to grow in about a week. For a jveek or two they should not be turned out until ltt-e in the morning, and should always oc taKen in eariy in ine evening. Their great enemy is the cramp, which can be kept off by making them sleep on dry straw. A little boiled rice daily assists their growth, with corn, of course, as soon as they can eat it. When goslings are first allowed to go at large with their mother, every plant of hemlock which grows within their range should be pulled up, as they are very apt to eat it, and It generally proves fatal. Nightshade is equally pernicious to them, and they have been known to be poisoned by eating sprigs of yew tree. NASTURTIUMS. Comparatively few seem to know the value of the nasturtium a3 a bedding plant. We have a bed ten feet in diameter, in a sunny place on the lawn, which has ever refused to look decent, no matter what plants we put in it. This may in a measure have been duo to a large maple at the north and a noble elm at the east of it?whose roots find there good feeding ground. This year we have filled it with dwarf nasturtiums, and sue Lcess is complete. The whole surface is covered with rich greea foliage in various shades, and flowers of dark crimson, bright scarlet, maroon spotted, goldenyellow, and creamy-white colors, bo , blended as to give the bed an everchanging appearance. There is another, 1 a practical charm to be added, viz., its cheapness. Ten cents did it; a paper of mixed seed, planted half an inch deep and one foot apart each way, as soon as the soil is warm and inviting, i3 all the cultural instruction necessary for the most perfect success.?American Agriculturist. A FARM DOG SHOULD EE TRAI2CED. When a dog is kept on a farm this animal should be specially trained. A dog should lead and not drive. It should be trained to go slow with all the animals and never to run. This point is worthy of remembrance by persons as well. A man cannot run as fast as a calf' or a,cow, and while a dog can run faster, such fast running js bad for the rows. But for service in carina for farm stock a dog may be easily and profitably dispensed with. More cows, by ninetynine-hundredths, are hurt than are helped by dogs. Probably a dog's usefulness is confined to the destruction of vermin, the legitimate pursuit of game, aDd the terror of midnight prowlers and thieves. It may be usefully employed in gathering a flock of sheep when rightly trained and in preventing a straying flock kept in pastoral style. But on tho farm the animals are far better without the rough and often misguided service of a dog. t And when a dog is kept it should be ^^pnfined strictly to its special purpose W and prevented from prowling at large.? 2few York Times. KEEP DAIRY IMPLEMENTS CLEAX. Keep those dairy implements clean. ? -? _ I no not weamer is ua us wun an mat it implies. Moisture and warmth are the commanding forces in the reproduction of insect life, and that includes the lesser life of back'rae, and such as inhabit the cracks and creascs of dairy implements. Everyone familiar with the workings of the dairy knows very well that the slightest neglect of dairy implements in hot weather means ruin to the butter or cheese, or even to the milk sold in the cities. There are many theories about how to keep such implements clean, all looking to a saving of labor. To oui wcy cf thinking, the dairyman had better put all of his mental power in the top branches of his business and his animal power in the lower branches. In other words, make up your mind to do some mighty hard work in washing the implements, scrubbing the dairy house and creamer or whatever receptacle you have for tho milk. If there is any chance to let up on hard work in the dairy it is in the skimming and making of the butter or the manufacture of the cheese, but bofore these processes are properly reached the milk must be handled without gloves. Have everything in immaculate cleannes? before the milk touches it, and do not kt up in your attention until the final product arrive3.?American Dairyman. CARE OF HARVESTING MACHINES. The new self-binder harvesters arc very cumbrous and difficult to get under 6helter easily. There are few gates that they can be driven through except with j the greatest care. As a consequence they arc usually left out of doors until j the harvost is completed, and quite often i nnfi'1 + V*r? nf tlinre m tfciauil i>iiv VI i-uiwu*u^ &aai?c?v*j room for them on wide barn floore. Every man who owns a harvester should at once provide an oilcloth cover large enough to protect every part from becoming wet. These costly machines rust and rot more than their wear in service. The rustling of the iron portions and the swelling and shrinking of wood work soon makes the parts work unevenly. Often after a single year's use the harvester thus neglected costs more to make it run as it should than the work it does is worth. After all the season's work is completed the harvester should be taken apart, and each piece laid so that it will not only be free from dampness, but will not be liable to be bent or warpei before beiDg put together again. If the harvester is left standing, care should be taken to see that all parts are properly supported. Wc knew a harvester, which, after o etimnor'a iter* woe mrofilllu housed, and when brought out the next t season the cutting bar had 6agged so that it had to be taken to the blacksmith's end straightened before the : j knifes would work freely in it. All the liron parts should be cleaned and oiled before storing, to keep them from rusting.?Boston Cultivator. i ?i. DEVELOPING THE HEIFERS. ^ It was once a very prevalent idea (and is still,in some quarters, unfortunately) i that any kind of rough fodder is good* [ enough for young stock, whether steers ;Or heifers. Swale hay and dry cornf : stalk9 have made many a poor milker ! that with proper feeding might have been | a credit to the herd. Stunted growth | and poor development can be seen in all Wi -tods of $tocka because ? food; but in no ease do these have so depressing an efloct, perhaps, as with the femaJes that are to supply the dairy. The calf that, with proper feeding during the period of growth and after coming1 to the milking period, might have become a three-hundred-pound butter cow, will hardly exceed one hundred or one huudred and twenty-five jiounds of butter per year under the neglectful, haphazard plan of feeding, which is also quite likely to precede an insufficient milk ration when the calf has become a cow. To obtain a cow of the highest capacity for production, it is not too soon to begin nearly a year before she is born. That is, have due regard to the butter qualities of the sire and dam from which she is to be raised. It is as foolish to expect butter from poor stock as to look for figs from thistles. It is not so important that the dam should have the high est milking qualities, though this will undoubtedly give the most satisfactory results, as a rule; but it is essential that the sire be pure-bred of a butter family and from a high productiveness. A scrub bull may have no dairy qualities in his blood. It is simply a lottery, with tho chances against one, to patronize such a sire. From the day of the calf's birth It should havo tho full mcasuro of such food, as much as it needs for growth, and as much as it can digest?but in no case more. It should bo kept growing Thn onnnor if. 1Q developed the less will bo tho expense, both of care and feed; for it is ccrtcinly more expensive to spend three years in attaining a size that could havo been reached in two. There is better development also in the latter case. "When practicable, it has been found well to feed skim milk from calfhood till the heifer comes into milk herself. It Is fed warm during the first month. Ground oats and fine bran will also bo valuable assistants in growing bono and tissue. These are especially important m the winter as an addition to the hay ration, which should be clover hay if obtainable. If silage can be added, or an occasional feed of finely pulped roots, so much tho better. Such foods, with warm quarters, a dry bed, and plcaty of good water, in winter, bring a heifer to her full capacity as a producer of butter. When she begins to give milk, it should bo kept in miud that, for largest yield, sho must have as much of a well balancod ration as she can digest. Tho mcasuro of profitably feeding a well bred butter cow ceases only when the well balanced ration is fed in excess of her ability to turn it into dairy products.?American Agriculturiit, FARM AXD GARDE!?

All fruit tree growers should know when thumb and finder pruning is properly performed there is but little other pruning needed. One essential qualification in the boy who works on a farm 19 that he 6hall have a love for animal life, and be able to tell intuitively when an animal is sick. Do not dose yourself or your stock with medicine for every little ill. Diet and rest. Sleep, and a moderately empty stomach, are the best medicines in the world. Keep the farm-house in good repair if only a sod house or board shanty. This is nccessary to comfort and convenience, which may be secured even in the humKlnef r\ lir* rr Uiwoi/ unwuiu^* Professor W* W. Cooke says a tablespoonful of saltpetre dissolved in a pail of water, and a pint of -water applied to each hill of cucumbers or squashes will destroy the bugs. Grass should be cut for hay at the proper time, and that is just as it is done growing. It has then acquired all its natural strength and aroma, and will not become harsh and brittle from cverripencss. It does not pay to put the be-t fruit or vegetables on top and have the purchaser find something not so good when he reaches the bottom, as it makes him suspicious, the consequence being that the sale of crood fruit is in lured. o ? y When beets, carrots or parsnips do not appear to grow, though given every opportunity by manure and cultivation, the slow growth may be due to the plants being too close in the rows. Thinning out the plants just after a rain will be of advantage. The peach borer cannot damage the tree where the bark is tough, and consequently the eggs are deposited below the surface, where the bark is tender. Their attacks may be prevented to a certain extent by banking the earth around the tree from April to October. A fruit farmer in Wisconsin is using for picking strawberries a tin box just large enough to hold the baske; box, which is put into it, when the tin box cover is shut, and the berries reach the basket through a tunnel in the cover, leaving both hands free to pick, "while the tia box is fastened to the picker by a strap. The gladiolus, after the leave3 turn yellow in autunm, can be taken up before frost comes. The bulbs should be laid in a dry, shady place for a week or j more, and then they can be placed on a shelf or in a drawer -where there is no danger of frost, and thero be allowed to remain until it is time to plant them out in the spring. Vacancies among raspberries and blackberries may still be filled in with young sucker plants,taken up when the grouud is wet, with the soil adhering tc their roots. Pinch back the new green shoots of raspberries and blackberries, and so provide stout, stocky canes foi bearing nest year. This prevents the formation of useless wood, which onlj cut away next spring. * ' - ' ': . ,;^- <1 WORDS OF WISDOM. . ^ Hope is a loan mado to happiness. Great thoughts spring from the heart. The dream of happiness is real happiness. The heart of a statesman should be in his head. Womnn conceals only -whet she doe3 not know. "Wrinkles disfigure a woman less than an ill nature. We never live; we are always in expectation of living. Prosperity unmasks the vices; adversity reveals the virtues. The more honest a man is, the less he affects the air of a saint. Poetry has been the guardian angel of humanity in all the ages. Nowadays, those who love nature are accused of being romantic. Politeness is as natural to delicate natures as perfume is the flowers. A lover has all tho virtues and all the defects that a husband has not. Most men are like plants; thej possess properties which chance discovers. Everybody exclaims against ingratitude. Are there so many benefactors? ! If we could leave out of conversation scandal, gossip, commonplaces, fatuity? what silence! The quarrels of lovers are like summer showers that leave tho country more verdant and beautiful. DaTy Crockett's (Jncor Electioneering. In tho days when "Davy" Crockett was such a powerful politician in west Tennessee ho had for his intimate friend General James Connor, who had done so much to clevato President Polk, General Connor, who still lives at Ripley, in Lauderdale County, was then and is now a great admirer of fine horsc3 and always had several in his large and commodious stables. "When Crockett was making a canvass for Congress in his district, ho and Connor attended a public gathering of the yeomanry in one of tho counties. Crockett wore a coon skin cap that day and made himself decidedly agreeable, but he had some opposition, and in order to gain more strength in that county he | hit upon a novel schcme for securing votes. He went to General Connor and I asked him to loan him hi3 fine horse. The General at once consented and Crockett ! mounted tho fiery charger and galloped J /Imrn tho mad ana in and out | among tho crowd yelling at the top of his voice, and occasionally halting and taking a drink of cider with the hardfisted sons of toil. He would then gallop off again, waving the coon skin cap and giving vent to more loud and keen yells. Ho repeated the antics several times and the crowd seemed to enjoy them hugely. "When he returned tho horse to General Connor he was asked what object he had in conducting himself in such a way,and he replied that it was a way he had employed for gaining friends, and that he had made two or three hundred votes there that day.?Atlanta Constitution* A Compressed Air Hospital. Many of the men employed in the coi3?! sons of the Forth Bridge, in Scotland, were greatly affected by their work in an atmosphere of compressed air, and were in the habit of relieving their pain by spending their Saturday afternoons and Sundays in the air chamber. The engineer now in charge of tho Hudson tunnel works acting on the same idea, constructed a compressed air ho^ pital for the men employed on the tunnel, among whom there have been several severe cases of * 'bends," although the air pressure is not particularly high, never, indeed, exceeding thirty pounds per square inch. The hospital is a cylinder eighteen feet long by six feet in diameter, constructed of steel plates three-eighths and one-half inches thick, and divided into two chambers by a "ronecpi-in llullcTlfwifL OllG of tll&Se chambers nets as on air lock for the other, and both arc fitted up with beds and everything necessary for the comfort of the patients. The air pressure is maintained by a pump, a constant supply of fresh air being secured by keeping o pet cock in the shell of the hospital open, through which the air continually leaks out. A safety valve is also supplied to prevent over pressure should the pumps run away.?New Tori: Commercial Advertiser. Facts About a Merchant Prince. The idea that A. T.

Helena {lion.) Independents __ "Coming: Thro' the Rye." The Atlanta (Ga.) Journal has received the following inquiry: "Did Burns mean a river called 'Rye' or a field of grain of that name when he wrote his song of "Coming Thro'the Rye?" Burns found this old son#, replies the Journal, as he did the song of "Auld i Lang Syne" and others, floating in tho mind of the common people of Scotland, and gave to it the brilliance and grace of his own genius. Tho poem is founded upon a singular custom in connection with the crossing of the little river Rye. This is a shallow stream, crossed by means of stepping stones. "If a laddie met a lassie coming through the Rye," and he kissed her, it was plainly nobody's business but theirs, and tho custom permitted it. Tho lassio in crossing was not in a position to resist such little passages of love, as she had to use her hands to hold up her skirt3. Hcnco the lines in the song: _ .uraajgiea an ner puiuiwuuu Commg through tho Rye. Clearly it was a stream that was meant, as any reading of the poem and a little knowledge of Scotland will show. A Wonderfal Baboon. Jack, the baboon bo well known to all who ever had occasion to pass through tho Uitenago (Cape Colony) Railway station, has, says a writer in tho Colonies vnd India, gone to that bourno from which no baboon ever returns, much to the regret of the country side. Jack was one of the most intelligent of tho apo tribe ever captured, &nd ho was regarded as quite a regular railway employe at Uitenage. He took his turn at working the signals and shoving trolleys about. When requested to do so ho would go j to liis master's cottage, hunt for and llua iny article required, and then, after carefully locking the door, ho would remove the key and bring both it and tho article ho was sent to fetch to his master. Tho latter had lost both his lege, wd con3equently found Jack a valuable helpmate. The baboon was also noted through the district as a fair light-weight boxer, md he had also been trained to uso tho singlestick with singular adroiness. He aever drank anything stronger than wiiio.r, and was unmarried. Petrifying Water. Near River Raisin postofflce, Washte-' aaw County, Mich., is a spring thirty or forty feet back from the bank of tho river, which has tho peculiar property of petrifying everything over which the ! water flows. As tho ground is compare tively level, the water spreads out through tho grasses and moss for a width of forty j or fifty feet on its way to tho river, and itiilcns and solidifies every blade it . touches until it sounds like walking on egg shells to pass across tho place. The bank of the river was formerly low, but has been built up to a height of several feet by tho limestone that has formed on everything touched by the water. Beautiful specimens of petrified moss, acorns, iticka, etc., can be picked up all about the place.?Detroit Free Press. Novel Mode of Signaling.
