AjrriDOTB ron ants.
1 tried several methods to prevent ants
molesting bees, and found the following
far tho most satisfactory: By use of
crowbar make a hole in the middle of the
anthill down to the bottom, which is
easily found by the inoro open or less
compact earth. Then turn into this hole
a gill of bisulphide of carbon, and fill and
crowd down with earth. As the liquid
is very volatile, and cannot pass out of
the now compactly filled hole, it quickly
evaporates and kills all the ants. If clay
be near, always use this to crowd into the
hole, ns it is more impervious than is sand,
though by firmly pressing with the foot
the sand can be made to hold the liquid.
Kcroscno may be used instead of the carbon,
but it is far less effective. Bo, too,
of carbolic acid. By means of syrup, so
"> covered by gauze that bees aic excluded,
the ants can be trapped in great numbers
and destroyed. I have often done this,
tmd by adding Paris green have poisoned
the ants.?New York Tribune.
A USEFUL rULPARATION.
A very useful aud simple preparation
that I have found beneficial to the plants
is mado by mixing two jiecks of sheep
mauurc, one peck of soot and two quarts
of guano in a hogshead of rain water.
Smaller amounts can be made by mixing
the ingredients in the same proportion.
The mixture should bo stirred up thoroughly
for a day or two and then a quart
of quick-lime thrown in. The mixture
will then be ready for use. Weak and
tender plants should bo treated with an
application or thi? msouro about once u

ncciw uunug iuu uowrnng penoa.
Strong, healthy plants can stand nn application
every day or two, but it is usually
safer to dilute it with one-third of
clear water when such frequent applications
are made. Orchids, roses, heaths
and other flowers will show marked improvement,
both in the growth of the
wooded stalks and in the production of
flowers and foliage. As soon as the
flowering period is over the applications
should cease. If kept up the plants will
be unduly stimulated and their growth
retarded in the end. Amateurs always
have a tendency to go to extremes in using
such strong solutions.? Wathingtoii

SAVE THE MATURE HENS.
It is the custom of some fanners who
plan to make the most out of their poultry,
to sell off the old hens when the
hens are fat, through laying and in demand
at good prices. This plan is a
-"> commendable one, but care snowra be
taken not to sell the too young old hens,
if regard is had for the stock of the next
season. It is none too early to lay the
plans for next spring's crop of early birds.
The reason why the young old hens
should not be sold off no\\ will be made
apparent by the following from, the pen
of that poultry authority, P. II. Jacobs.
He says:
The pullet hatched in spring, say April
?r May, will often hogin to lay when she
in sir months old (01 ouuner if of a small
breed), but she will not be fully matured
_ jmm until she arrives at the age of one yeui.
I The consequence is that while shq will
Bfo ^ lay she will be growing at the same'time,
Qftflr and is therefore not competent to
Pgf produce eggs that will give satisfactory
results when used for incubation.
Her powers are doubly taxed,
y nnd her olTspring will break ""'"fiflgfri;*!
mated with a vigorous0#""
_ cock. aud active
have taken pains to
secure fine, healthy pullets, have been disappointed
in raising them on farms where
incubators are operated, as they lay small
eggs, and often begin to lay so early as to
produce eggs no larger than those of a
pigeon. If eggs are desired for hatching
purposes, use hens that are in their second
year (over one year old), and mate them
with a cockerel that is at least one year
old, and the result will be that a greater
proportion of eggs will hatch, while the
chicks therefrom will be strong and easy
? ? to raise. It has been said that a her. becomes
less valuable af'c" she is two years
old, but it is safe to assert that she will
my wen uiiiu ?uu is lour years uiu, ami
although she may not lay quite as many
as a pullet nearly grown, yet her eggs
will hatch better and a larger number of
chicks be secured from her. But, it may
be added, do not forget the fact that
pure-bred, strong, vigorous cocks must be
used in the flock.?Farm, Field and Stockman.
THK POINTS OF A GOOD BUTTF.Tt cow.
What are the flue points that make up
a good creamery cow? is a question I am
asked to answer. I presume a butter
A cow is meant, as the volume of cream
does not determine the butter value.
Cream separated from iniik by intense refrigeration
or by the centrifugal machine
requires al>out one-third more in volur jc
to make a pound of butter than cream
raised in silo paus at a temperature of
sixty-two degrees, anil yet either of the
other processes may produce more butter
from one hundred pouuds of milk than a
silo pan.
A good butter cow should have a long
face, wide between the eyes, the eye alert
and expressive, and placed a long way
l>etween the horns. A cow with eyes
near the top of the head does not know
any more than a man with eyes so placed.
She should have a large muzzle, a slim
neck and a yellow skin, especially inside
the ears; the breathing should be regular,
the back and abdomen strong, the udder
wide where it conneots with the body,
the teats squarely placed, and the tail
slim. Over and above all these points,
she must have the dairy form. The points
at best are only indications. The desirable
dairy form is always seen in the best
types ot jerseys, uuernseys, Ayrcsmres,
and Holsteins. The best beef is
presented in the Shorthorns, Herefords
and most of the polled breeds.
The intelligent dairyman, with a knowledge
l>orn of experience, desire and eapacity
for the business, never makes the mistake
of choosing his cow with a beef
iWv<t.v )
form. Neither will the intelligent beef
breeder choose his animal from the dairy
form with a cat head and relaxed exprceI
sion. Physical structure and natural IIS
adaptability embrace tho possibilities,
and therefore increase tho probabilities of
success with the butter cow.
t White it is not difficult for a dairyman
with a knowledge of his business to select
1 a cow that make ten pounds of butter a
week, provided always such a cow is
1 'Aithiu the drove or herd ho is inspecting,
cows that will make fourteen pounds ^
, of b"*ter a week arc not to be fouud u- 8a

Such cows are seldom for sale except at
1 breeder's prices. A novice might by . th

treatment, yet if he kept her in a cold x{j

and fed her on timothy hay and ground jir.
barley and corn meal, all of which arc ^
lacking in protein, the cow would soon an
run down to three and <Wie-half pouuds a th
week aud stay there, or make less and Sj
less. Another mnn who kucw his busi- w,
ness might have selected the same cow st<
and kept her in a warm stable, given th
warm water, warm ensilage inndo from Ka
sweet corn well matured, two or three Ai
pounds of clover hay and a plentiful sup- ha
ply of wheat bran or middlings, ground ^
oats and peas, or a little oil meal or any
other food containing protein in liberal s?
proportion, and the cow would probably J"
have increased to twelve pounds a week ?
if her limit permitted. Se
Cows have their limit as sharply de- ro
fined as a trotting horse. Pasture gross 1.?
is the ot^jy single feed known that con- {K,
tains one jxart of proteiu or nitrogeuoufc p?
food to five pounds of starch and surra r *
(earbhydrntcs) in its dry matter, and it tr
is therefore n good food to test nn ordi- ni
nary cow's limit. But just as good a ration
as pasture grass can bo made from 'Jj
the article just mentioned, and this ration nr
will be much cheaper than pasture grass (A
on high-priced land. Jj^
Dairy knowledgo that enables a man t},
to make selections of good cows from hr
among poor ones, and shows him how tT? 37
feed and treat them so that they will do j0'
their l>e.st, is not a commodity that can be i0]
rattled off to a novice like Widow Be- ju
dott's recipe for making potato pudding, .
but is the slow outcome of natural obser- W(
vation, experience and capacity. Such ?lo
a ny?n may be accurate in his judgment, P?
and still be unable to make another man P?
accurate. A butcher can judge the
weight of a dozen or twenty bullocks bc
within the fraction of a pound, but he
cannot instruct a novice to do likewise,
nny more than the poet Wliitticr can tell
Tapper how to write good poetry. o*
The theory that the young calf reveals
the future cow is based on the form and Jpj
on the heredity of the calf's ancestors. If to
the calf has the beefy form, and her nn- vn
cestors were noted foi their beef qualities,
it is safe to say that such a calf will A]
not make a profitable butter cow. But HI
if the three days' calf has the marked j^}
dairy form and is descended from along
line of butter cows and sires, she can be nn
developed into a good butter cow. The 1,1
theory is based on the fundamental principle
of all scientific but practical breed- Ln
ing that like begets like?American Agri- >u

In shipping liens and roosters have 8{l
them in different coops. Have shipping
coops high enough so the birds can stand tu

Professor GolT, of the New York Xi

in tomatoes tested the past season in the or
dwarf champiou. ^

When shipping live poultry to mankct, so
see to it that the coops aro in good condition,
for they are sometimes handled
roughly, or a slat may come loose and a in
fowl or two become lost. cc
Are you crowding too many chickens g,
in one roosting place? Ane you permit- h
ting chicks under four months to roost
other than on floor or coon? If so. cor
rect at once these mistakes. tb
If you arc sending a mixed}lot of hens jjj

Boxes in the kitchen windows provido w

A veteran peach grower states his be- tli
lief, concurred in by as good authority w;
as W. C. Harry, that if trees are fed
nrettv well with barn yard manure and th
ashes they will not be troubled much with
yellows.
In the early full months some of the 1*
vegetables that sell well early in the
season prove attractive. A market j(
gardener suggests that lettuce should bo
sown so t-hnt the crisp, green leaves will
prove palatable svhen cool days come \?
again. tli
There arc three friends of the farmer
that wage incessant war on the aphides or
plant lice. These are the lady bird, the ?>'
syrphus fly and the lace fly, and every
farmer should make their acquaintance
and do all in his power to protect lu
them.
si
For permanent pasture Peter Hendcr- bt
son recommends either for fall or spring
sowing orchard grass instead of timothy
as the base grass, with other sorts in
their proper proportion, to give compact- i,,
ness of sod, a view differing from usually u
accepted practice. 7'
Dame Naturo plants her plums iu w
thickets. The "plum thicket" is a *?
familiar chiUlnooa phrase. Therefore an j
Illinois horticulturist argues that plum J q,

will do best in clumps, including different i |*
varieties that will aid each other in
fertilization. w
In 1886 there were three cities in Kansas,

CmI ?f Armies. k
An ingenious writer has been flgur- v
ing out the comparative burden of the f
national debts and war expenditure ol
the chief European nations and that of f
the United States. Taking Franco ,
and England together, he bEowb that j
they pay some $507,000,000 a year on f
the public debt, and $340,000,000 for
army and navy, besides giving up to
military service the productive energy
of 730,000 able-bodied men. Estimating
the value of this labor at $100
each, there is another $73,000,000 to
be added to the annual charge whioh
Franoe and England pay for their j
armies, navies and debts. This, it will ,
be seen, reaches the appalling total of i
$820,000,000 to be paid by a population
only 2& per cent, greater than that
of the United States, and one certainly
very much less able to bear such a
burden. As against this, we pay a
littlo more than $160,000,000 a year
for army, navy and debt, leaving $670,000,000
a year in our favor as compared
with France and England together.
That, under such conditions,
this country must go ahead in the race
for world supremacy as rapidly and a t
surely as European nations must fall
behind, needs no prophet to foretell.
Militaiisin and progress are not in
these days convertible terms,
Our Far Alaskan Citizens.
A writer familiar with the uncivilized
Esquimaux of far Northern Alaska
says that tliey are the most abject
beings ho over saw. They neither wash
or comb their hair, and they wear I
dirty, filthy garments year in ?nd year
out. Esquimaux moans "raw fish
eater;" their diet is chiefly fish and
game, kept until it is in a state of putrefaction,
when to them it is most delicious.
Kaw blabber of the whale is
a great delicacy. Their manner of eating
is dog-like. Fixing their teeth in
a piece of blubber, with a dull knife
they saw off the portion which the
mouth will not admit. The men hunt
and fish, while all other work is dono
by the women. They know nothing
of marriago vows; they oohnbit, separate
and tnko new partners at ploasuro,
ono man often having a succession of
wives. The old-time custom of tattooing
tho fnce, arms and breast is still
practiced. Tho women wear ivory
studs in tho lower lip in which is inserted
their sewing-noedlo for convenience
when not in uso. Tho men also
havo these apertures with bono or ivory
studs in their ears, in which lings are
inserted. This same fashion prevails
largely in Southeastern Alaska. "Out
of tho fashion, out of tho world." is as
true of them as of us. There is much
caste among them, aud it would be
hard to find a more conservative and
conventional people.?Sitka Alaskan.

younger child threw hersolf into the
arms of tho lady, and as she did so tho
needle was pushed so far out of sight
that only the eye was visible. A quick
movement to rescuo it resulted in an <
entire disappearance of the fine bit of J
