IVgrow'plants in pots well but little cmde^maiiure of any sort should be mixed with the soil, unless the aim t is to grow a great quauity of foliage. | The liquid form is tbeJhe^t in which to apply a fertilizer. When used in tliis way its efTec-ta are under the con trol of the user to a great extent. It can begiyer. as needed, or withheld wholly. If t!ic fertilizer is incorpo rated with the soil, such control can not he exercised, and the plant is stimulated to make growth as long asthesoil contains these elements which induce developement. Liquid manure should never he given to! plants when they are resting. AUj that time they must lie^nnde to stand s'ill, and the application of any ^Em ulating food will prevent their doi^g o. w hen fine flo\vers aje wanted, liq uid manure sliould he given as so >11 as the buds appear. To plants like geraniums and fuchsias, which bloom constantly, the supply should be cot.- uoiis llirouglmut the season. If guano is urjed, a heaping table- spooiiful to half a gallon of water is. enough. Tin? should be gi veil once a week. If cow-manure is used, and ' t - 1 this is the best of all fertili^vr^ in my opinion, u can be prepared for use by filling a barrel with it, never using it in a fresh condition, hut after it has become dry and black, aud pounding it down weli. Make a hole through one of the staves in front of the barrel close to the bottom, through which the water can run out. The barrel should be placed on something of a sufficient height to ad in; t i*f a pail be ing slipped under it, with an inclina tion forward, so that the water will run toward the hole. Then pour wa ter over the contents. Do not pour in a great deal at once ; but let the m.mine absorb it slowly. After a time add more, and by and by you will see a brown liquid working its way through the orifice at the bottom of the barrel. It will almost always be too strong to use as it itaches off. Deduce it by adding water till it is :>f the color of weak tea. Such a fertil izer is safe, effective and always satis factory. s>M’ial iiositinn.

Points Tor Poultry Keepers. Tiie American Agricnlturlxi wants the children to have their ‘‘rights.” It sav»: There are comparDively few houses in which a large .bright, warm room ca.ii he spared for a nursery. Even wjiere tills might be .lone, the » * mother cannot employ a nurse to stay with the children, ami herowu cares and duties are too various to admit of her being Jong in any one place. Per haps she docs not keep even a ma ; d- of-ali-work. Tlienf.be ehjldyen must inevitably follow the mother about in kitchen,bed-rooms,or sitting room, as tier work demands, it is not un- common, in so-called well regulated families, to find children’s toys scat tered all over the the house, while hats, coats, and mittens are se’dcm twice in the same place. A nursery or play-room for the children may be out of the question ; but surely some corner, chest, drawer, or portion of a closet, n ay be found for each child, where its in dividual possessions sliould he kept when not in use. On the whole, the most satisfactory' piece of furniture in our house is a home-made one—a set of shelves which his father made for our 5 year old boy. The shelves are somewhat more than a yard long, and separated hy .unequal di.-tanccs in or der to accommodate Hie ditierent sized toys. On the top shelf stand.' his bunk, vase and several pretty but somewhat fragile toys* the next shelf is entirt ly devoted to hooks, of which he in s m re than most hoys, while tie’ow-r ones are filled witii his remaii Jug treasures. To a simple brass rod w ith ii igs, pretty inexpen sive curtains are attached. When these are draw ii the * ff-ct is that of book shelves—tj ornament to our living room, where they stand under the mantle in one corner. There the hoy is “monarch of all he surveys,’-’ and he has no excuse for leaving Jus toys cloi^t the house. When it;-: friends come to play witii him, it is easy for iln m to take out such things as they wis.i and put tuem hack again when they are through playing, thus avoididg ihe general .chaos so common after cUildiyn’s visits. u iUjluiAi4 am Augusta, r - (Jecrgia.

Plymouth Rock is a good fowl for farmers. Crow some sunflower seed for the chickens. Feed a little hone meal to the grow ing chicks and prevent leg weakness. A quart of grain a day for ten hens is considered liberal feeding. Milk in any form, sweet or sour, is greatly relished by birds of all ages. Buttermilk is very acceptable and !ii t . lily nutritious. Filth and vermin are the real “cholera” that destroy many fowls annually. Expect disease if your poultry houses are uuventilated. Do not hurry weaned chickens to take to the roosts. Up to three months i old their b"east hones are soft and easily hurt. Let them sleep in a safe position on the ground or on the floor, luit not in a chilly place. Clean the yards thoroughly and feed chickens on hoards that they may he kept clean, and never in filthy places or in the dirt, especially when the food is in a soft state. Use lime freely it; all quarters w hore poultry is kept. Don’t forget to add carbolic acid to it. Sprinkle the runs w ith a strong solution of sul- p'lurie acid and you need have no tYats of cholera or unv other disease. » t • ' I - Bedding Place for Pigs in Pasture. It is common for sows w ith their young to resoit to a certain place to sleep, even in the pasture. It is good prae! ice to watch these bedding jdaees and every two weeks or so scatter a double h”udful or s-> of sulphur over the bed. This will not only keep the pigs fioin getting hm-y t hut mangy a : wel!, and keep their skins and sys-* terns in good couditi-m, for a portion of it will he absorbed by the skin, and it acts as an alterative upon the svst in. Around the lots and pens carbolic acid should be used with nt* sparing hand, and no money that tho Imvder spends will return so good an interest. It not only disinfects from f nil odors and noxious gases, but Ur ine use will prevent cholera and other diseases—if not directly imported by bringing infected animals on the place. It clearj and pp,rifles the ground and floors, ar t d the gif as well. —Aiiitricun A 'irU.ultin hit. Tho Pea ns a M;,nu r e. To Make a “.lliisrle Mirror”—I’rcscrIpttom for Manniacturlng Artificial Gold. Paracelsus was not a professional astrolo ger, and scornfully rejected the doctrine that the course of the stars can affect the fate of a man. He revealed more in alchemy in al liance with astrology. Thus, certain sub stances have tho power to absorb and retain planetary influences, and in this way “magio mirrors” may bo prepared. ‘‘If,’* says Para celsus, “wo make a composition of seven metals in tbo proper order and at the proper time wo will obtain a metal which contains all the virtues of tho seven. Such a compo sition is called ‘electrum.’ It contains not only the physical but the astral virtues of tho ‘seve;; metals that enter into Its composition, and tho electrum is cue of the most valuable preiwirations known to secret science. The ordinary metals cannot bo compared with it on account of Its magic power. A vessel mado of the electrum will immediately indi cate if any poisonous substance has been sur reptitiously put tntodtr because it will- begin to sweat on the outside.” Hero, first, is a prescription for the manu facture of artificial gold, token from an old alchcmlstical manuscript: “Take equal parts of powdered iron, subli mated sulphur and crude antimony. Melt It in a crucible and keep it in red heat for eight hours. Powder it and calcine it until the sulphur is evaporated. Mix two parts of this powder with ono part of calcined borax mid >nelt it again. Powder and dissolve it in common muriatfc add and lot it stand In a moderate heat for one mouth. Tbo fluid is then to be put into a retort and dir.tilled, and the fluid that collects in the recipient (tho muriatic acid) is returned into the retort and again distilled, and this is repeated three times. Tho third timo a red powder wiil be loft in the retort. This powder is to bo dis solved in tho 'menstruum philoaophicum,* which is mode by pouring chlorido of anti mony into water, filtering and cvajioratin.tj tho fluid to a certain extent to make it stronger. Tho solution is to bo evaporated again and tho remaining powder mixed with its own weight of corrosive sublimate of mer cury. This powder is to bo dissolved again in diluted muriatic acid and dLtilled until a red, oily substance passes into the receiver. If you obtain this oil, you may tajre some newly prepared chloride of silver, saturate it gradually with tbo oil qnd dry it. Pat- ono part of this powder into five parts of molten lead. Separate tho load again from the silver by cui»ellatio:i, and you will Grid that ono- third of the silver has been transformed into gold.” It would lx? cheaper and easier, in tho long run, if one could find tho prescription for tho “tiuctura physica,” a red ethereal fluid which was capable of traasinutir.:; all inferior i:k^- aii into go] 1, an Iliad other w6i)do:fiii vir tues a? well.' Paracelsus had the secret of this fluid, ho t ys. l:u‘. h.-.s not revealed it. Possibly tho pres ripliou is tho “treasuro” which ho said 1: ■ had buried at tiio hospital of Wciden, and v.-hi-h b a “jewel cf such a value that neither i’ojio I/'o nor the Urntwror Carolus could buy it with ail his wealth.”— All the Year Round. vL&aGON S.U M F fl VE Vue PARSER’S OINCER TCPHC>-it!>i>«t delay.
