AGRICULTURAL. tOPICSOF INTEREST RKL.ATIVH TO FARM AND GARDEN. Onion* for Poultry. People who give their poultry finely chopped onions once or twice a week along with their other food, will find it an excellent preventive to various diseases, especially where fowls are not al- ' lowed to run at large and gather food for themselves. When kept in the close con6nement of small runs, much more attention is necessary in supplying thom with a variety than where they have a larger liberty, and for keeping them in good health onions are among the best things that can be given theui.?New York World.

The effects ol such feeding have been that the growth of hone was larger, the vital organs? the heart, lungs, liver and spleen?were heavier and more vigorous, while, as might be expected from this better development of these organs, the carcass was heavier and the proportion of lean meat to fat was larger than on exclusive maize feeding. It may be sufficient to point out these facts to lead feeders of pigs to make use of such nitrogenous food (ib bran, milk and linseed cake meal along with maize, so as to avoid disease 1 and secure mure and better meat, greater firofit in feeding and exemption from ' osses by disease.?Ntw York Herald. Hose Insects. The insects most harmful to roses are ( the green Hy, red spider, rose hopper or ( thrips, and the rose hug and the black ( slug. Mow, though these insects involve some little trouble, yet success will attend idl persistent efforts. The ' green lly, the thrips and the black slug 1 can all bo kept under by syringing the ! plants with a solution of whale oil soap. One pound of soap is sufficient for eight gallons of water. Throw the water in a ( fine spray on the under as well as the ' upper side of the leaves. A syringe with a bent nozzle is the best instrument with which to apply the liquid to the lower side of the leavos. The red spider can bo held in check by syringing the leaves with clear water; in dry times this should be done every day. If the rose bug (melolotha subspinosa) makes its appearance, which is not very often, it can be destroyed by the insect exterminator.? Vick's Maja.ine. , Value of l-'oresl natives The vnlue of a forest rango for feed- j ( ing cattle is not well understood, even i , in the ?outh, where large areas of forest are put to the purpose or ranging stock in the summer, and which thus provides ' the cheapest pasture for six months in ; the year. There the forest is burned over, with the wasteful sacrifice of mil- ' lions of dollars' worth of the costliest plant food in the form of organic nitrogen, and of many millions worth of timber, and for the sake of the sparse growth of grass. At the same time the leaves of the young growth are worth per aero j more than twice as much as any other ' forage except timothy grass, and arc worth one-half more than this. And yet Houthcrn forest lands covered with the 1 finest timber and of the richest soil, but little incumbered with rock mn 1m nm. i cured for less than tlie tuxes on the uiu- i iority of grnss and clover fields in the North.

How to Prevent VerminPrevention is better than cure, for the reason, because it is easier. When a farmer liuds his spring calves pining away and looking miserable front the attacks of lice, he will find it no easy matter to suve the calves and rid his stables of the pesis. Hut a few hours spent in efforts to prevent the mischief would have saved weeks of worry and work. To prevent the entrance of these ! pests, nil fowls should be kept from { roosting in stables. Fowls will do no J hnrm if their house is kept clean and the roosts are well so.iked with kero ! cene once a month. Hut lialf-a-dozen | lousy hens will iufect all the stock in the 1 atablcs and give trouble through the whole winter. For the stock, the best vrnv to keen them free from vermin is to brush them well once a day, using a stiff brush, to which a little kerosene is ap plied by means of a sponge, or the hair i 1 may be rubbed with the oiled sponge 1 and thou well brushed. This will keep the animals free from lice and make ' 1 their coats smooth and glossy, but if used too plentifully it will take off the i hair and blister the skiD.?American j i Agriculturist. 11 !' A Demand for Rig Horses. Don't be afraid of breeding too large | horses, says the New York Hrritll. The ( people of the present day want them. j , The best farmers will have them, and J , the heavy freighters in the cities cannot , do without them. The si o of the horse I of the future will lis its value. The I boom is up for big ones, so don't neglect j to breed them, and afterwaid to feed | them. A big pair of half-breed Normans J that are well matched will bring *r>00 as quickly as one silver dollar wdl bring j another. The best horse for the farmer I to rise is the draught horse. The 1400 j to 1700 pound draught horse requires no I 1 special experience or training to sell,and } 1 the farmer has no need of a professional j trainer. A ready market is constantly I open for the draught horse. The de tnand far exceeds the supply. The! farmer can turn them into cash at their real value more quickly than any other I class of horses. While cattle, sheep and hogs have been so depressed the past year * or two, the draught horse breeders have met an active demand at big prices; in fact, they are masters of the situation, and about the only t lass of breeders that can set up their own price, and get it . too. I Value of Ashes. "How much arc untouched lmul wood i i ashes worth per bushel to u-e on land i which is worth $100 per aero, ami when hay is selling at $1 : per ton.'"' asks a 1 reader in central Vermont, of the Knglunt! /<\irm r. and the following re ply is made: "Ashes vary greatly in their actual value and in their se "ing I price according to the kind <>f wood burned and their freedom from sand, earth and charcoal. The best hard wood ashes often contain nearly ten per | rent, of potash while those from some of \ the softer woods may show le-s than j three pci rent., though it is claimed by I pome that soft-wood ashes ore not so in fcrior as many believe, but being lighter than those from hard wood ashes they > * are easily lost by being blown- away 1 while burning. The ashes from small f twigs arc much ri her than those from } the trunk of the trees. It is estimated that average ashes will contain from lour to Ave pounds of potash in a bushel of i forty-eight pounds, and that compared with potash salts as uow sold in the market they should he worth about Itwenty-flve or thirty cents per bushel, 'the phosphoric acid they contain adding to their value. It is also believed 'that ashes have a beneficial effect upon some soils, independent of thoir contents of potash and phosphoric acid. The chemist can dotermine the amount of valuable manurial substauce in a given sample, but he cannot say what effect the sample will have when applied to a certain soil. That is a question which the farmer must himself answer, by experiment and intelligent observation." Hnrrowinir Both in the preparation of the soil for the crops before plauting and in giving the earlier cultivation afterward, the harrow enn be used with profit to a more or less extent. For fining the surface of the soil it is one of the very best implements we h rve, and, with the large number of different kinds sold under this name, we can secure an implement ml anted to nlmostanv kind of work and in almost any kind of soil. The improvements made upon the old A harrow, are giving us the square, Scotch, vibrating, flexible, and smoothing harrows, to which may be added ijuito a list of spring, disc aud cutting or slicing harrows. In this line of implements there would certainly seem to be a full supply, so that no matter what kind of soil the farm is composed of, a harrow can be used with profit 011 nearly or quite every rarm. Hut with the spring, disc and cutting hat rows, they will do much better work with some soils than with others. One will be best in one kind of soil, and the other iu a different soil. | t>omo are better for some kinds of work, | aud some for others. It is best to have the soil prepared in a thoroughly fine condition before planting j the seed, ami to keep the soil in a good tilth until the plants have made a aufli | cieiit growth to be aide to commence | using the cultivators. Weeds are much j more easily destroyed when young than after they get a good start to grow, and if the soil is p.cpared in goou tilth be- j fore planting the seed, in a majority of | cases the harrow will be found the 1 cheapest and best implement to use in destroying the weeds. The disc, spring or cutting harrows aie good implements to prepare the soil in a good tilth for seeding oats, grass or other small grain: or w.ien oats are sown on corn-stubble or land that has been planted iu the fall. They arc good 1m- | plements to cover the seed, sowing the seed broadcast and then covering them 1 with the disc or cutting harrow. The 1 same applies to sowing wheat in tho fall. | They will tine tho surface and prepare in a good tilth for sowing tho seed with 1 the drill or seed-sower. And the work can be done so much more economically that in many cases these can bo made very profitable implements.?Prairie Parmer. Farm anil Garden Notes. Mulch your orchards. I'eas should not be sown until warm weather. Hit; carrots are good for cattle, but not for the house. Early hatched pulicts make the best layers, but not good breeders. Ileus supplied with plenty of green bone will lay more eggs thau those without. To the question "Do we set a hen or lit herf" we answer, you set the hen; slio does all the sitting. Save ami store a full supply of fruit and vegetables; none are so cheap as those grown on the farm. A hen *hou!ti be set in a dark, quiet place with access to plenty of water and :orn, and a good dust bath.

When a man is frightened or angry his digestive organs do no work; this is also true of an animal?hence the profit of keeping it in a peaceful and fearless state by kind treatment. An ardent pig-fancier contends that the raising o. pork, if properly con ducted upon the farm, wid lift the mortgage or raise the hank account i more rapidly than any other farm 1 stock. A fine (piecn for breeding purposes should not he allowed to expend her force by too much egg laying, hut should he kept in a nucleus and only be allowed to keep that up moderately strong. A correspondent of the Firmer*1 ltr.ricir has his theory as to "different hog diseases." These were not known, he says, till rings and snout:ng machines were applied. t'bvious moral: "Let their noses alone." The poultry business is not a little business when nmiierlv tiiiii.iiro.l .,<,.1 till thero is in management is having good ijuartcrs and watering and feeding with the regularity with which your farm team is cared for. No system of dairying is complete that loses any of the fertility at the barn.

If the brush, weeds and stubble have not been cleaned out of tho fence coriters it should be done early.

He had told thein plainly what they were in the sight of God. He assures them Of the doom that await# thorn because of their sins, and because they would not let Him deliver them from the im |M>nding wrath no long in grace restrained, and then utters His last won! to them: "I sav unto ye, ye shall not seo Mo henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord." (Matt, xxiii., 38-39) As He leaves the building, sad at heart and deoply grieved for them. His people, for wliom He was about to lay down His life, His disciples, almost as blind as the rulers concerning the true condition of things, try to call His attention to the building*and the gTeat stonee of the temple, but a heart that could seo and feel what Ho saw and felt had no eyes for stones or costly gifts. If. ' 'There shall not be. left one stone upon another that shall not lie thrown down." The Holy Spirit had said through Micah, tlx prophet. TOO years before this, that Zion should be plowed as a field and Jerusalem become heaps (Mic. iii., 12); but the samo prophet also said by the samo Spirit that the samo Zion and Jerusalem should in the last days rise from their ruins, that all natioiu should flow thither, anil that In thoee days the nations should learn war no more. (Mfc. iv., 1-4). After so many centuries of God's long suffering the same spirit that had testified through Mieah now testifies through the greatest of all prophets, the Son of God, thai it should be ns it had boon foretold. 3. "He set upon the Mount of Olivoa over ngainst the temple." As we see this great and glorious God-man, Israel's true though reject-, si Messiah who shall yot bo manifest at the glory of llis people Israel and a light tc lighten ilie nations (Luke ii., 32), thus lingeringly leaving His people ami the Holy City, we are reminded of the visions of Ezekiel in which he saw the (jlory of the God of Israel slowly and lingermgly leave the Holy ol Holies, and the temple, and the city, anil stand for a last farewell upon this same mount on the east of the city, driven away by th< sins of the people. (Ezek. viii., 8,4; ix., 3 x., 4, 18; xi., 22, 23). But we must also remember the later visions of Ezekiel in whiel ho saw the glory return from the way of thi east, causing the earth to shine, entering th? house of the Lord and filling it, pointing ui forward to the time when tlio Lord shall return with His saints to dwell in the midst ol the children of Israel forever. (Ezek. xliii. 1-7; Zccb. xiv., 3-5.) 4. "Toll us, when shall those things be And what shall be the sign when all thesi things shall lie fulfilled?" Matthew adds "What shall lie the sign of Thy coming, anc of the end of the world or consummation ol the ago?'' (Matt, xxiv., 3, R.
