AGRICULTURAL. TOPICS OF IITTRFE8T RELATIVB TO FAKM AMD GARDEN. Onions for Poultry. People who give their poultry finely chopped onion* 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 confinement of small ruus, much mors attention is necessary in supplying them 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 theua.?Neu York World. Best Food for Pigs. Experiment appears to have proven the benefit of supplying such a proportion of nitrogenous food with maize for pigs as will render the feeding fully nu tritious and healthful. Tho effects ol such feeding have been that the growth of bone was larger, the vital organs? the heart, lungs, liver and spleen -were heavier and more vigorous, while, as might be expected from this bettor 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 oi pigs to make use of such nitrogenous food as bran, milk and liusced cake meal along"with maize, so as to avoid disease and secure more and better meat, greater firofit in feeding aud exemption from osses by disease.?Nito York Herald. Rose (naects. The insects most harmful to roses are the green fiy, red spider, rose hopper or thrips, and the rose bug aud the black slug. Now, though these insects involve some little trouble, yet success will attend all persistent efforts.

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 leaves. The red spider can be 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 extcrmiuator.? Vick'a Mwja.ine. Value oT Forest Ranges. The value of a forest range for feeding cattle is not well understood, even in the South, where large areas of forest are put to the purpose or ranging stock in the summer, and whirh thua nrnvidno the cheapest pasture for six months in the year. There the forest is burned over, with the wasteful sacrifice of millions 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 arc worth per aero more than twice as much as any other forage except timothy grass, and are worth one-half more than this. And yet Southern forest lands covered with the finest timber and of the richest soil, but little incumbered with rock, can be procured for less than the taxes on the majority of grass and clover fields in the North. This being tho case, the present popular desire to "preserve the forests" should bo especially heeded by the Southern farmers, who hold on an average several hundred acres each.?Ntto York Times. How to Prevent VerminPrevention is better thau cure, for the reason, because it is easier. When a farmer finds his spring calves pining away and looking miserable froip the attacks of lice, he will find it no easy 1 3 _ J *- _ unti^i iu nave IIIO UIIVC3 Ullll T1U I11S stables of the pests. But 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, all fowls should be kept from roosting in stables. Fowls will do no harm if their house is kept clean and thte roosts are well soaked with kcrocene once a month. Rut half-a-dozen lousy hens will infect all the stock in the stables and give trouble through the whole winter. For the stock, the best way to keep them free from vermin is to brush them well once a day, using a stiff brush, to which a little kerosene is applied by means of a sponge, or the hair may be rubbed with the oiled sponge and then well brushed. This will keep the animals free from lice and make their coats smooth and olnnsv Hut. if used too plentifully it will take off the hair and blister tho skin.?American Agriculluriit, A Demand fop Big Horses. Don't be afraid of breeding too large horses, says the New York Herald. The people of the present day want them. The best farmers will have them, aud the heavy freighters in the cities cannot do without them. The si'e of the horse of the future will fix its value. The boom is up for big ones, so don't neglect to breed them, and afterwaul to feed txiem. A big pair of half-breed Normans that are well matched will bring $500 as quickly as one silver dollar will bring snother. The be3t horse for the farmer to rise is the draught horse. Tho 1400 to 1700 pound draught horse requires no special experience or training to sell,and the farmer has no need of a professional trainer. A ready market is constantly open for the draught horse. The demand far exceeds the supply. The farmer can turn them into cash at their real value moro quickly than any other class of horses. While cattle, sheep &ud 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 ( lass of breeders that can set up their own price, and get it too. Value of Aaties. "How much areunlenched hard wood ashes worth per bushel to tue on land which is worth pgr acre, and when bay is selling at $l i per tonf" asks a reader in central Vermont, of thn tt-m Knglnnd Farmir. and the following reply is made: "Ashes vary greatly in their actual value and in their selling Erice according to the kind of wood urned and their freedom from sand, earth and charcoal. The best hard wood ashes often contain nearly ten per cent, of potash while those from some of the softer woods may show less than three per cont., though it is claimed by tome that soft-wood ashes are not so in ferior as many believe, but being lighter than those from hard- wood ashes they are easily lost by being blown, away while burning. The ashes from smalt twigs are much ri her than those from the trunk of the trees. It is estimated that average ashes will contain from lour to five pounds of potash in a bushel of \f forty-eight pound*, and that compared with potash salts as now sold in the market they should be worth about (twenty-fire or thirty cents per bushel, the phosphoric acid they contain addling to their value. It is also believed that ashes have a beneficial effect upon .some soils,independent of their contents iof potash and phosphoric acid. The chemist can determine the amount of valuable manurial substance 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." Harrowing. Both in the preparation of the soil foi the crope before planting and in giving the earlier cultivation afterward, tli? harrow can be used with profit to a more or less extent. For Anion the sur face of the soil it is one of the very beat implements we h?ve, and, with the large number of different kinds sold undei this uame, we can secure an implement adapted to almost any kind of work and in almost any kind of soil. The improvements made upon the old A harrow, are giving us the squaro, Scotch, vibrating, flexible, and smoothing harrows, to which may be added quire a list ol spring, disc and 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 on nearly or quite everv farm. But with the spring, disc and cutting hairows, they will do much better work with some soils than with others. One will be best in one kind ol soil, and the other in a different soil. Bomb arc better for sotne kinds ol work, and some for others. It is best to have the soil prepared ins thoroughly fine condition before planting the seed, and to keep the soil in a good tilth until the plants have made a sufficient growth to bo able to commence using the cultivators. Weeds nro much more easily destroyod when young than after they get a good start to grow, and if the soil is p,jpared in good tilth be fore nlantimr tho seed, in a maioritv ol cases the harrow will be found thi cheapest and best implement to use in destroying the weeds. The disc, spring or cutting harrowt are good implements to prepare the soi in a good tilth for seeding oats, grass 01 other small grain; or when oats aro sowi 1 on corn-stubble or land thai has beer planted in the fall. They aro good lm plemcnts to cover the seed, sowing th< seed broadcast and then covering then with the disc or cutting harrow. Thi same applies to sowing wheat in the fall. They will fine the surface and prepare ir a good tilth for sowing tho seed witl the drill or seed-sower. And the work can be dono so much more economically thnt in many cases these can bo made very profitable implements.?Prairie Farmer. Farm and Garden Notes. Mulch your orchards.

"And as He went out of t-he temple, oof* 1 of His disciples saith unto Him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings." He was leaving the temple to return no more to that building; lovingly and patiently had He presented Himself to the ruler* of the people again ami again as their Momiah, tefalv to l?e rejected by them; many parables 'had He spoken to them descriptive of their conduct and its consequences; and in the eight woes of Matt, xxill., 18-82(pad contrasttothe eight blessings of Matt, v.) He bad tokl them plainly what they were in the sight of God. He assures them of the doom that awaits them because of their sins, and because they would not let Him deliver them from the fan I^'UUIU^ ? ?VI? ov III IS1 IWWWWU) And then uttors His last word to them: "I say unto ye, ye shall not see Mo henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord." xxiii., 38-39). As He leaves the building, sad at heart and deeply grieved for them, His people, for whom He was about to lay down His life, His disciples, almost as blind as tho rulers concerning the true condition of things, try to call His attention to the building"and the great stones of the temple, but a heart that could seo and feel what Ho saw and felt had no eyes for stones or costly gifts. J 2. "There shall not be. left oho stone upon another that shall not be thrown down." The Holy Spirit had said through Micah, the prophet. 700 years before this, that Zion should be plowed as a field and Jerusalem become heape (Mic. ill., 12); but the some prophet also said by the same Spirit that the samo Zion and Jerusalem should in the last days riso from their ruins, that all nations should flow thithor, and that in thoee da ys the nations should learn war no more. (Mfc. iv., 1-4). After so many centuries of God's long suffering the same spirit that hod test!tied through Micah now testifies through the greatest of ell prophets, tho Son of God, that it should be as it had been foretold. 3. "He sot upon tho Mount of Olivew over against the temple." As we see this great and glorious God-man, Israel's true though rejected Messiah who shall yet be manifest as the glory of His peoplo Israel and a light to lighten the nations (Luke ii., 82), thus lingeringly loaving His people and the Holy City, we are reminded of tno visions of Esekicl in which he saw the glory of the God of Israel slowly and lingeringly leave the Holy of Holies, and tho temple, and the city, and riuiui ivi a i(u>b itu unvii u|n;u buio naiur luvuiii on the oast of the city, driven away by the i sins of tho people. (Ezok. viii., 8, 4; ix., 3; . x., 4, 18; xi., 22, 23). But we must also remember tho later visions of Esekiel in which ho saw the glory return irom the way of the - I eant, causing tho earth to shine, ontering the I house of the Lord and filling itv pointing ui 3 forward to tho timo when the Lord shall return with His saints to dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever. (Esek. xlilL, 1 1-7; Zech. xiv., 3-5.) 1 4. "Toll us, when shall those things be? - And what shall be tho sign whou all these r things 3hall bo fulfilled!" Matthew adds: i "What shall bo tho sign of Thy coming, and . of tho end of the world or consummation of tho ago?'' (Matt, xxiv., 3, R. V. margin). Whether there was any conversation by the way as they walked from tho templo out of the city and up to the Mount of Olives we are not told, hut now that He is seated on the mount over against the temple, these four j came to Him privately, or rather asked Him privately those questions. They were expecting that Ho would redeem Israel and restore t to her tho glory of the son of llavid (Luke xxiv, 21; Acts i., 0); and this their prophets l had taught tliem to expect; toko Jer. xxiii 5-8, as a sample of what, all tho prophets had everywhere foretold. But they overlooked i the prophecies concerning tho sufferings and . rejections of their Messiah, such as Isa. lii.; Fb. xxii.; Dan. ix., 20, etc. 5. "And Jesus, answering them, hogan to r sny, Take hoed lest any man deceive you." 3 Four times in this chapter wo have tho admonition: "Take heed" (vs. 5, 0. 23, 33); on other occasions He had said: "Take heed i what you hear aud how ye bear" (Mark, iv., I 24; Luke viii., 18), but now it is: "Take hood lcet any deceive you."

"Many shall come in My name, saving 1 " am Christ, and shall deceive many." Two of these are mentioned in Acts v., 3d, 87, who had many followers; and in I John iv.,.1, it is written: "Beloved, believe not every spirit, 5 but try the spirits whether they are of God; i becauso many false prophets are gome out in* to tho world." Ever since the devil deceived r Eve in the Garden of Eden (I Tim. it, 14) he has been constantly at it and will continue 1 until his masterpiece, the Antichrist of the i last days, has been produced, whose destruciion shall bo by the Lord at His coming (II t'hess. ii., 8, and then shall come to pass 1 what is written in Rev. xx., 8, the deceiver 5 shall deceive no more till the thousand years ! be fulillled. | 7. "When we shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be ye not troubled; for such things must needs lie; but the end shall not bo yet." Though the earth be romoved, and the mountains no carried into tho midist of , the seas; though the waters roar and be troubled, and the mountains shake, there is no need for any one to fear or be troubled who can truly say: "Tho Lord of Host is with j me; the God of Jacob is my rofugo." (fs. i xlvi.) 8. "These aro tho beginnings of sorrows or " travail." That is the wars, earthquakes, ' famines and troubles of this vorso and the last to which Luko adds "fearful sights and r great signs from heaven." 8. "But take heed to yourselves, * ? 1 1 ye shall be t)eaten * * * for my sake, for ) a testimony against them." This they actui , ally experienced many a time. (Acts ly., v., I xii., xiv., etc.) It has been true in greater or i less degree in nil times since, and shall be fearfully true again iu the lost years of i Israel's history ore the Lord returns for their i national redemption. . | 10. "And the gospel must first bo published I among all nations." Matt, xxiv., 14, says: 1 ! "This gospel of tho kingdom shall bo ; preached in all tho world for a witness unto I I all nations, and then Rliall tho end come." Ere Jerusalem was destroyed, Israel scattered, and the end of that dispensation fullv ' i come, tho gospel had been preached in all the world and nil Israel had hoard (Col. L, 23), and might have received the Messiah if they would. 11. "Tako no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, * * * for"it is not ye that speak, but tho Holy Ghost." Luke xxi., 15. adds: "For I will give you a mouth and i wisdom which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist."
