It was a little girl of the latter sort who begged so hard to sit up just for once that her mother one evening, not long ago, said that she might. How the little girl's eyes danced at the prospect of all the wonderful things she would see for herself upon this, her first occasion of "sitting np!" How commiseratingly she regarded the other children, who were as usual packed off to bed at an early hour. She seated herself in her small chair, and eagerly awaited developments.

There has been much complaint about the wire nails which have been so popular for a few years past that ^ they rust very quickly, and shingles ^ or boards put on with them are loose ? in a few years. We have heard of ^ one case where a man reported that a patch of shingles about a yard square was blown from his roof only some four or five years after they were put ^ on. We have used these nails and liked them, as easily driven, and not liable to split the shiugles, but if they have this fault one had better pay i more for the cut nails. Those who are having buildings built or repaired a will do well to insist on the cut nails fo: only, until this defect is remedied.? w< American Cultivator. at ve Care lor Scratching, , My hens bothered us some by dig- ^ ging in the garden and flower beds nntil T fixed what I call a coke and fastened it on their leg.

Owing to the general *desire to thresh early, much of this o? grain is damp when threshed. If put into large bins it will het?t and become ? mouldy. It is best to defer all large 8t] jobs of threshing until the grain in P? the straw haB gone through the sweat- e.s ing process, which is really heating, tlc the warmth oausing the moisture to come out of the grain, straw and ^ weeds. This is the fastest way to dry ^ grain. But if the threshing has been done, a sharp lookout should be kept on the grain in the bin. Thrusting a long pole to near the bottom of the ?* grain pile, the temperature may be easily determined. If it feels warm CP to the hand, it is above 100 degrees. 81< The grain is in danger*and should be taken ont of the bin as quickly as poo- uu eible. When it is put back have some Pa thoroughly dried brick and put them in occasionally as the grain is thrown m< in. A dried brick wiil absorb more *h: than its,weight in water. If any one ve doubts it, let him try to fill a brick so that water will stand on the surface.' c.u The wettest grain may be safely put tlE in bins, if this precaution is used. ar< There is nothing in the brick to' ferment, and the water in the grain is 818 absorbed until the grain is dried. In winter all grain dies out by freezing. "e of Sour Milk Best. irr Professor W. W. .Cooke finds that me pigs do better on slightly soured milk, tal 1 * ? - ^ containing uuiy iuuuu uviu, mau ?uvj do on sweet milk. He says the prob- sp; able reason is found in the fact that ph when the milk sours the milk sugar is sti broken up in the lactic acid, but pli this chauge takes piece without any ve: loss of solid matter. One particle of thi milk sugar merely absorbs some do water and splits up into two parts of ag lactic acid. Recent experiments in lar Germany seem to show conclusively Nc that lactic acid, in common with sev- ric eral other vegetable acids, is digestive im and has a real feeding value. There- $2. fore the lactic acid being ia the same 88 quantity as the milk sugar, it is fair en to presume that its feeding value all would not be much reduced. . we If milk is allowed to staud for many ha days this lactic acid breaks up into ho butyric acid and carbonic gas, the ve latter passing off and becoming cer- en tainly a dead loss. It could not be ve said from our experiments that skim ca milk could be kept indefinitely and A{ still not lose its feeding value, but it seems nrobable that there is no loss in * feeding value in the first change of 1 Bouring and lobbering. As to why the sonr skim-milk should have done better than the "J11 sweet skim-milk we cannot tell, unless the answer is found in the greater ^fl relish with which it was eaten, or un- ^ less it is a fact that the acid during the hot weather helps by keeping the "8 digestion of the pigs .in a little better condition.?New York Weekly Wit- 7? ne8s. in sai Garden For Poultry.
