"V AGRICULTURAL. TOPICS OF IXTKKEST KKLATIVI TO FARM AXD GARDEN. HARVESTING BEANS. ' In harvesting beans, considerable time can be saved by using a machine com monly called a bean-puller, but really s bean root-cutter, as it cuts of! the roots just below the ground, leaving beans and liaulin loose upon the surface. ;Then when dry, they can be gathered quite rapidly with forks. They are ther drawn into the barn aud stowed awav until threshing time. Beans are generally threshed with threshing machines with cylinders arranged for the purpose. ?.American Rural Home. ' TREATMENT OF A Br.OATED COW. Bloating is due to overfeeding on wet [herbage and is caused by the accumulation of gas in the paunch from the fermentation of the food. The passage to the stomach is closed by the pressure and it is sometimes impossible to get lany relieving medicine into the stomach. If this can be done, carbonate of ammonia, given in one-ounce doses dissolved in water, is mo3t useful. But mechanical means are most effective. A 'round stick, two inches in diameter,fastened in the mouth like a bit, may afford relief, by inducing eructation of the gas. iWlion nil nfKor monna foil iVvn cfr?maoVl I TV UbU Ull v/tuvi uivuuo luii) vuv ?wu?Mvu may be punctured on the left side of the cow, a little below the hip bone and eight inches forward of it, so as to let out the confined gas.?ycto York Times. CULTIVATING THE SMALL GEAIX3. / The notlrn of some agricultural writers that wheat, rye, oats aud barley would in a few years be cultivated, as corn is bow cultivated, is hardly warranted by iany present experience. The spring small grains are undoubtedly benefited on rich land by harrowing when they ]Come up, because on such land this induces the plants to tiller or spread, and shoot up more stalks than they otherwise would. But when the plant is nearing the time for heading out cultivation would certainly be harmful. It would induce too rans a growm, causing tne Straw to fall dowu, nuJ provonting the heads from filling:. The check to small gram from each stem crowding its neighhoi prevents any frcm getting an oversupply of nitrogen, and i3 better for the crop than growing each plant by itself. The scattering oat plants that sometimes appear in hoed crops, passing through the excrement of grain-fed horses, usually rust so badly that neither straw nor grain is worth anything.?Boston Cultivator. TOCLTRY TOINTS. An objection made by many women to the poultry business is their dislike to selling their geutle pets alive. Whether the market be local or distant, more or less suffering is imposed ou fowls, from fright, bruises, hunger, thirst, confinement in crowded quarters, and often filthy surroundings. Certainly these are .not the most healthful or appetizing conditions to precede the dainty broil or Toast; does not "man's inhumanity to man" deserve attention on this point? Again the demand for the laborious dry picking is a discouragement in the busy farm home to sendiag out dressed poultry. The least labor that will produce best result is of prime importance. Scalding to remove the feathers is much more easily and quickly done than dry picking. It is cleaner?for all fow Is are more or less infested with parasites. If carefully done there need be little or no discoloration of skin. Neither flavor nor keeping qualities seem to be affected by the scalding. The principal claim made for dry (picking is that the birds look better, and as good looks are not to be despised, let ibright women put their minds to the imatter and learn how to make their scalded birds look as well as dry picked, and thereby confer a benefit on producer, consumer and consumed.?New York Tribune, TTTE HAY HARVEST. The importance of the hay crop to tlio whole country at large and the individual farmer as well can scarcely bo overestimated. For hay of the best quality in all respects, that made from timothy grass stands highest in the public estimation. Consequently this is the variety to cultivate when the highest price that can be obtained from critical buyers is the object aimed at Other varieties often do better on certain soils, and clover makes excellent hay when successfully cured. Besides, clover has a value other than for hay, as a renovator of exhausted soils, that does not belong in an equal degree to timothy or other grasses that may be preferred for the iack and manger. To get the most value from a timothy jmeadow the ground should be well prepared before sowing the seed. In these Idays of improved farm implements it goes without sayiDg th-.it a medow should be smooth and free froai sticks, stones and other obstacles of every kind that rwould interfere with the running and ! i." i.: tiu- j vperauuu ui u mutuiut;. iue Bueu sowu should be free from tho3e of weeds or of Other varieties, unl<e$3 a mixture of grasses i9 intended, us is sometimes the case. For most purposes the value of timothy hay is incre;ised by deferring Ithe cutting until the seed is ripe enough !to grow. Curing -withoct 'exposure to rain is important with all varieties if the hay is to be of the best. To secure this condition beyond any per.idventure every farmer should have a sufficient ntimbei of hay caps ready for an emergencyCaps made from heavy unoiled muslin, if smoothly drawn dowu .over wellformed haycocks, will be sufficiently protecting, und such are cheap tmd easily hand led.?Necc York Worl<i. WEEDS A KLKSSIKCThe farmer prepare* his seed bed b] furnishing fertilizers, by making th( ground mellow and bringing the plani food within reach of the roots of th< growing grain. So-called hoed crop: need to have the ground made friabh ?uiq pulverized after every rain and "be tween times," because frequently shower; are "like augels' visits?few and far be Itween," as proved by last year's experience in many parts of Missouri and else, (where. I But there never was a season so wet 01 so dry that the weeds did not gro^ {apace. Indeed, they will cover ail the [ground unless destroyed by the frequeul Cultivation and hoeing. ! Just here is\whcre bleising conies in. jThe destruction of the weeds cultivate ithc growing maize, the cabbages, th* [root crops, etc.} and but for the weeds many a lazy farmer wouhl use neither hoe, cultivator nor plow and thus suffer the soil to bake anil thus cut short his 2 crops often to more than fifty per cent. "Ah, ha!" says the farmer; "Oh, ho!" says the corn. An observant and successful farmer once made the remark that "there was as much manure at the f tail end of a plow as iu the barnyaru.' ' That is a pretty strong statement and a 1 very large grain of truth. Every plaut : or weed?defined as a plant out of place > ?with its leaves, blades and roots bc comes a fertilizer or green manure. Wise farmers plow under clover, rye 1 or .buckwheat for improving the condition or fertility of the soil, and the roots of clover form no inconsiderable ' portion of the plantas fertilizer. Clover is embraced in every rotation or system of farm crops, and is worthy of the place. Some weeds are so tenacious of life and will grow from ever so small a portion of root or ever so minute a seed that Legislatures have enacted laws for their destruction and imposed fine3 for the careless and neglectful farmer. And this is wise. The work in-this direction ought to be more thoroughly done than lotrc offnr liAVinrr ILL 11 LI 19 y aauJ buw 1UHWJ -w ?? * ^ been enacted, ought to be enforced without fear or favor.?St.Louie Republic. FAItM AND GARDEN NOTES. If you want good fruit thin the peaches. Peach borers ou2ht to bo hunted up and destroyed. Primulas seed may be sown now for winter flowering. Fine, rich compost is an excellent fertilizer for flowers. The Duchess of Albany is a rose that has many advocates. A deep loam and a sandy soil. are suited to the cherry. Azalias mav be summered in a well shaded epot out of doors. The poorer the soil the more socd is required, and the smaller the crop. If the cow's teats get scratched or cracked grease them after each milking. Young chickens that are just beglnntn^ to run about should be fed regularly every day. Tne Farm Journal advises cutting,hay closer when Ahnnt *>?? liuir or tne heads are browned. Grass cut while it rains, or just before, is ready to dry and cure when the sun and wiud follow the rain. If-the e?g shells arc fed to the poultry, care should always be taken to crush them thoroughly before feeding. A wide cut mower, six or seven feet, and one that leaves the grass standing a3 much as possible, is the right sort. The more solidly hay Is packed in the bays the better it will keep. It is tho admission of air that spoils (browns) it. A hen pays in proportion to the number of eggs she produces; therefore it is an item to feed so as to secure plenty of egg?. Half-cured gras3 is wholly spoiled by rain and about half spoiled by a heavy dew If suffered to receive it when spread on the ground. i Cut hay in the late afternoon, tedder hs soon as the dew is off the next morning, rake and draw in in the heat of the early afternoon. In shipping young poultry at this time see that they are well watered and fed before cooping, and do not crowd too many into the coop3. One can depend with close, careful plucking upon an average of one pound of feathers per bird from a flock of common geese per annum. "When desired to fatten poultry rapidly there is nothing that will equal good com meal. Fowls should be given all that they will eat up clean. The Fi'uit Qroicer says: "When red rust appears upon raspberries or blackberries the canes should at once be carefully cut away and burned." Tho sulphite of iron has proven in some casc3 to be a fair tonic for plants with weak flower-stem3. Weak solutions should bo given at first. As a rule hens learn to eat cgg3 from hfirino- thffm brnkfin in fiie nest. In ar ranging the ne3ts have thera convenient for the hens, so that in getting in and out there will be little if any risk of the eggs being iToken. Auy plot of ground that is not required for a regular crop should be seeded down to some green manurlal crop. Millet or Hungarian grass answers well, aud the crop may be plowed utaler ju3t before the seed head forms. It is not always possible or convenient to cultivate a closcly set quinoo orchard, but it is not difficult to mulch it, and no fruit appreciates more what is for tie benefit of all. Done once per year little other attention will be oooeesary. Fruit growoiB must study their markets and decide whether they will work t &L - lur uie uvciti^c truuc ui lur cm; luuuy trade only; whether it igquality or quantity they want; whether it is size or flavor, using different twit for different fishes. Fine, rich compost, or rich earth, is the best fertilizer for flowers. liases should be cultivated by raking the surface of the ground aronnd them. It injures some varieties to stir the ground ' deep. Super-phosphate is an excallent fertilizer for shrubs and other hardy , bloomers. i The only way to (%36troy the apple maggot fly appears to be by disposing of j the ailec*'*l fruit bofora the worm lias time to outer the ground after it falls.

Would you have au extraordinary development of fine foliage in cannon, caladhims, castor-ofl beams, enlalias, reeds, ailauthos, pawlonia, etc.?

At Devil's Bite, that oddly named I chasm iu Wyoming, and there aloae, ia found the golden gopher or golden guide, commonly called the "fleck o gold." The little fellow undoubtedly belongs to the gopher tribe, and is of 8 general goldeu hue, representing the various shades of that precious metal from the duller colors of its native state t( the brilliancy given by the stamp at the mint. The duller colors are blended or the body while the brighter ones spread along the back and tail of this curioui little rodent, the tail being the "fleck o gold's" chief pride and the wonder ol the beholder. Thi3 tail is fifteen inches in length?more than three times as long as the little animal of which it is ? dazzling continuation, and gleams and glistens as if made of the pure burnished metal itself.

"When this was dry I covered it with the cream colored satine and finished by sewing two bows of cream colored satin ribbon at each ' end for "lifters."

The unevenness of many thoroughfares in and beyond the business portion of the city had the effect,he said, of "churning" pure milk. In this condition it became unsalable, so that dairymen were compelled to adopt some , method of preserving the lacteal 3uid in a state as near "fresh" as possible. Hence, to ten gallons of fresh milk he had applied one gallon of water and a tablespoonful of salt. For this he was arrested and fined. On the other hand, it was impossible, he said, for the American dairymen to compete with tho Gascon, whose milk was not only unclean, but absolutely impure. So far as he (the speaker) was concerned he would gladly do anything ; or comply with any law or regulation that might be passed concerning the internal management or arrangement of dairies; and if any harmless chemical could be devised by the Board of Health to overcome or neutralize the effects ol the''churning" process of fresh milk while in course of delivery to customers, he i tttAiilrl V\n mai<a fV?nn nrillinfr te\ if "vuju mo luviu buau uiuiug wvy uuu^/v aw in connection with his business. Water was put in his milk, not to defraud customers, but simply to prevent it turniug into butter.?New Orleans Times-Demorat. 1 It saves money to learn by the experience of others.
