If tho land is plowed deeply and the ?n(
sorrel turned under so that tiie roots are foi
exposed to the frost, and salt is scattered mi
over the ground at the rate of one peck cr<
to every two rods square, the sorrel will thi
be completely killed. No doubt more it.
sorrel will .appear from the seed in the pu
ground, but if manure is put on and the re<
land put in corn and kept well hoed the wi
young plants will be easily killed. Sorrel an
in lawns and paths may be killed out by a
scattering salt over it. The grass will en
not be injured unless the salt is used too in
freelv. but plenty of wilt will destroy
grass in the pathways.?Xeie York Times.
\ SMUT IN WIIKAT.
Smut in wheat, was once a great cause
of loss awl complaint, nnd it was fouwl
thnt the smut increased when smutty w
seed was used. I found by making a ^
strong brine with blue vitriol dissolved ,
in it, putting it in a tub large enough to ^
hold a tight basket in which th? seed
wheat was placed?the wheat stirred and **
V* skimmed, then raised out of the brine
and allowed to drain, when it was poured V
out or put iu bags and so remained twelve ^
to twenty-four hours, and then sown in
the usual manner. I never found this to
fail as a remedy in wheat. The strong r
brine was useful to float out light and ^
probably diseased grains,and also to per- .
fectly introduce the vitriol to all the 1
graimof wheat. Two years ago, think- ^
i??g of this, I poured my seed corn on the '
floor and poured among it a solution of 1
blue vitriol and gave it a good stirring. (
Hut it will be seen that that way of aj>- j
plying the vitriol did not surely reach
every grain. The result was much less j
smut than in former years.?Hoard's

' MAKING rORK TOO FAT. I
The evil of over-fattening pork is less i
common than it used to be. Two reasons i
have combined to make lean meat more j
popular. The doctors taught that it was <
more healthful and nutritious than the
' " **i tu. mimu time, the use ul 1
other oils decreased the price of lam so
ttiat excessive ini pom -was nrlvlior prvm- \
able nor needed. The change in ways of |
feeding has also ha?l something to do
with making pork more wholesome. Corn
is no longer the exclusive food even for
fattening. The best practice now is to
feed the rations that, will make hogs grow
and keep thrifty from the time it is born
until it is killed. There may be exceptions
to this in animals kept for breeders;
but all others should be fat enough for
use from the time they are the right size
for roasting. By the liberal use of milk,
oatmeal and peas growth is promoted,
along with at all times enough fat to
make delicious |tork, far better than thnt !
made by starving the animal while-young,
and over feeding with corn as they become
older. .

them to the surface will visually In- found
detrimental rather than otherwise. I
Where there has hcen a continuous slial- |
low plowing of the surface soii for years
a slightly deeper plowing will add to the j
feeding area of the plants, hut unless the
surface soil is itself rich it must he ac- j
companied by liberal manuring. As the
great bulk of the roots of our cultivated
plants grow naturally near the surface, it
teems to me that suhso'ling for the pur- '
pose of increasing the feeding area is not 1
of sufficient importance to pay the expense;
we must look somewhere else for i
its benefits if it has enough to recommend i
it for general adoption. It is .now oom- 1 i

when a crop has carried otT from a soil of |

whether the subsoil is brought to the stir- I
lace or simply stirred up and left in its ' j

and little experience go, the advantages
t?f subsoiling mainly consist in affording j j
additional storage for water that may In; | j

THE PROPER PARE OF A COLT.
We will start with the suckling nt the
?y of its birth, and presume that it is of
aod parentage, both sire and dam, that
is sound and able to stand and walk
ithin fifteen minutes after it breathes,
t the age of n week most farmers come
> work the dam and let the suckling
>llow around as best he can, aud at the
ge of four months, the colt being then
f sufficient age to wean, the dam has
icrformed a good summer's work,worked
ust ns hard as her gelding mate with no
olt. This method is entirely wrong.
Hie heated blood, tiresome labor of both
nare and colt is really killing both.
The marc and colt during the first
our, five or six months should be kept
n good pasturo where there is plenty of
good water and shade. While it may be
practicable to wean the colt at four
nonths, we certainly prefer six, and now
:omes the most important period of the
utirc five j*ears of the colt's growth, and
f starved or stunted the first winter it
lever fully recovers. Not only the size,
nit the whole frame of the animal is injured,
never to be regained.
The colt should be fed on plenty of
njood, clean hay, plenty of water at all
times, aud we would give half and hnlf
>f ground oats and wheat bran twice a
rlay, about two quarts at a mess. We
give this dry, but if scalded aud then
cooled it will be better. A well-to-do
farmer told me once, this would be too
inuch^l think he was right for the first
week or two, but certainly not for the
nor iU. .av,?rI
asked him what damage it would do;
his answer was too rapid a growth, lie
had previously told me that lie would
treat, a colt as he would a boy. 1 asked
him if he ever knew too big a growth of
boy, but to this there was no answer.
The colt should have a warm place to
protect himself from cold weather and
storms, a bed of dry straw or sawdust to
sleep upon, or to lie down at pleasure; he
must not be confined to the stable, but
have a yard; or, better still, an open
field to run in ; in no case should he be
allowed to stand on a hard fioor.?

A French Heroine.
A splendid hercine is Sister Mnrie Therescj
tno superior of the Sisters of Mercy,
now in Tonkin, who was lately created a
Knight of the I.cgion of Honor, the
Governor-General drawing his sword in
ftrosenco of the assembled garrison and
ightly touching tho shoulder of this venerable
and devoted lady thrice with the
glittering weapon as ho pronounced the
stirring words; "In the name of tho
French people, in the name of tho French
army, I present von with this Cross of
Honor! No one has more glorious claims
to this reward, as no one has more than
you devoted a whole life to the service
of the country." The troops wore then
ordered to "present arms," and the ceremony
concluded as impressively as it had
begun. The Governor-General was not
indulging in any figure of speech when
he thus addressed this heroic lady, foi
such a record as hers is not an ordinary
ono. Sister Mnrie Thercsc had barely attained
her twenty-sixth year when she
was wounded nr iiainKiavn as snu w?*
tending the troopa on that mcmorablt
battlefield. The Italian campaign was
her next experience, and again she was
wounded at Magenta, in the forefront o!
the French army. In Syria, in China anc
in Mexico she was at her post alleviating
the sufferings of the sick and wounded
but the most splendid achievement of nl
was at Reiehshofen. On that field?

it burst, again wounding her severely
She had hardly reeovered from these tei
