Someone suggests that there is a use for bones as a feed for poultry, as au egg producer?especially as they ! cau be thus employed, and yet come iu, in iarge part, as a fertilizer, through the poultry manure. Let the farmer take his choice and get all out of the bones that he can. If he has a bene mill, or a meat chopper, and cau reduce the bones small enough for poultry to readily swaliow the pieces, this will be the most economical plan. nono/u'allr Ka1>oQ fmm A/VUQ4| OO^VVlMliJ wvu\.Wj , tho kitchen, are a capital egg pro- i ducer. It will pay even to beat the ! fresh bones fine with an old axe, if one has no bone mill, and feed them thns to the fowls. But the mill is far better, and every farmer keeping a few dozen hens can afford to purchase one of these mills. It is the best use to make of the fresh bones. But large, dry and hard bones, such as those of cattle and horses, had better b8 reduced with ashes. Though, of course, even the driest raw bone, ground fine, is readily eaten by fowls, as every farmer knows who has ever < applied raw bone as top' dressing to grass land. v Growing: Grain Feeds. I It is sometimes a problem whether it would be cheaper to buy commercial fertilizers and grow more grain to feed out, or to buy more graiu and make more and richer manure, and therefore have less ueed to buy fertilizers. The solution of the question seems to depend primarily upon the cheapness of land and labor. If a man in New England, especially near a manufacturing town, had to hire land and hire labor, we think he could employ them to better advantage in growing other crops for Rale than to grow any kind of grain for feeding purposea But the man who has plenty of idle land yielding but little, and help that he must keep the year through, either members of his family or that he must hire to do other work, we think can grow corn cheaper than he can buy it, if he so cares for his fodder as to get full value for it for ri 11 ? uauj oiutik. vuxu wo 11 upvu soil that is not well adapted to some other crops and grows without the heavy manuring that would be required for market garden crops, while it is not exhausting to the soil, but leaves it in better condition to grow almost any crop than it was before the corn was grown. To Destroy Moles. Some people claim to believe that moles are a greater benefit than an injury, for the reason that they are almost wholly insectivorous in their diet. This I dispute. A mole will destroy seed corn after it has been anointed with tar from the southern pitch pines, while every other known animal and fowl, including crows, will pass it by. I think the great majority of farmers will favor their extermination. I therefore submit the following cheap and effective plan to destroy moles. ? Mix a proper quantity (no particular rule) of arsenic with corn dough, make a small hole into their roads here and . there and deposit a lump of dough in 'each, about the size of a marble. Cover the holes with any convenient substance, such as clods of dirt, to exclude the light. Some years ago I bad a piece of land badly infested with uioies that I wished to plant to sweet potatoes. Success depended on first getting rid of the moles. As a matter of exDeri- ! rnent I concluded to try corn dough and arsenic, as above. Two applications resulted in a virtual extermination. Some of the moles came out of i the ground and soon after died. j Other poisons may answer as well, but I know that arsenic can be relied on. The best time to apply is perhaps iu early spring, soon after the moles leave their winter quarters.?Bryan Tyson in Farm, F;eld and Fireside. * Pest* of the Berry Patch. A great amount of work and watchful care are necessary to make the berry patch profitable. First comes the strawberry with its disease and insect pests. It is often subject to blight, which is injurious to both plant and fruit. It first shows itself upon the leaves in reddish, purple spots which soon turn lighter colored and finally white. Upon these spots a spore is formed which spreads the disease through the summer, while in th6 fall and winter a form is produced which infects the new leaves the following spring. Thus the fruit is deprived of its nourishment, and in some instances crops have been ruined. But if one starts a field with good, healthy plants, and sprays with Bordeaux mixture, there is generally but little trouble. The worst insect pest is that nuisance of the farm, the cut worm. It is often very destructive, as it works on ? * 1? m\ both roots ana crown in ieecung. xne roots are often attacked also by the white grub and the strawberry root borer. The latter bores into the crown and down through the heart into the roots, usually killing ihe plant. The best remedy for this pest is to change the bed often, not raising more than two crops on the same ground. Pests of the raspberry and blackberry are anthracuose and rust. When 1 infested canes are found we cut and | burn and so end the trouble. The ; insect pests are mauy, among which ; are the tree crickets, the red-necked i agrilus and the raspberry saw-fly. ' The crickets weaken the canes by j making a row of longitudinal punct- j ures filled with eggs for several inches down the canes. These eggs are long i and often mistaken for grubs. The surest way to get rid of them is to cut and bum the canes containing j them. The saw-fly is a green, hairy sing, which works on the under side ; of the leaf, resembling it so closely that one has to look carefully to detect them. They cut irregular holes in the leaf, often nearly perforating it Hellebore or the arsenites are recoa* I meuded as remedies. When one stops to consider all the nnmerons diseases and pests with which the fruit grower has to contend, it is not surprising that so many fail. "Eternal vigilance is the price of success. " The one who masters all diffl1 culties, by working understanding)^ is the one who reaps the reward? while the slothful are ready to declare there is no money in fruit growing. True Cause or Feather Eatinjr. An Iowa poultry grower* Mirs. P. M. Jar vis, sends an account Uf feather eating in which the disorder is described as coutagious, and she ascribes the trouble to the presence of a minute parasite which spreads from fowl to fowl and which she thinks was probably introduced through purchase from an infected flock. Concerning this mite, a recently published leaflet of the board of agrinnltiii'a nf flvoof Tlcitirtn m'roQ illA fftl. VUlVUl^ VI V* t Vl?V Jbfb ?V?UM VW -W? lowing description: Feather-eating in poultry is due to a iniuute parasitic mite (Sarcoptes laevis) at the roots of the feathers. It is generally supposed to be duo to a "virions habit,'' numerous absurd theories, such as idleness and thirst, haviug been put forward to account for it. There are two kinds of leather eating, viz, "selffeather-eat iug" and the plucking of other birds' feathers. The former is chiefly due to the mites living upon and irritating the roots of the quills, The form on the fowl makes its appearauce nbottt April and is most preTalent in spring an.l summer. The mites can be easily found among the white powdery matter at the base of the quill. The minute young are transmitted during copulation. The fowls pluck out the feathers to destroy the irritation caused by the mites at their base. Lice, also, are partly accountable for feather-plucking. The birds in picking off the mites and lice pull out the feathers.?American Agriculturist Enlarging the Herd* of Live Stock.. The average farmer who raises grain, fruits or vegetablos, or makes a point of mixed farming, cannot do better than to give more attention to increasing the live stock on the farm. No farm should be without a fair number of cattle, sheep, swine, horses, poultry and general live stock. It is not necessary to enter into tbe business of raisiug live stock for the markets so that it will interfere with the general farming, but on general principles there is eo much waste on a farm which animals alone can consume profitably that it is essential for the highest success that live stock of one.kind or auother should be kept. Nature never intended that the farm should be devoted to one particular kind of farming to the utter seclusion of all others. The fruit orchardist who fails to raise at Wst a few hives of bees misses one of t *e chances for profit that has been put in his way. Even iflie only raised the honey for home use, he would secure his rewards. Likewise the grass and hay farmer, with his miles of rich clover, timothy and buckwheat, should have a hive of bees for every two or three acres he puts under cultivation. Pigs go in clover and also in orchards. Sheep supplement the work of the farmer in packing the soil around the grass roots, and in the orchard they add fertilizers that are of the greatest value. The waste fruit of the orchard will go a long way toward feeding the pigs. Then the grain and corn waste feed the dairy cows, and the waste milk and cream from the latter can be put to no better use thau for pig feeding. So one conld go through the whole list of farm auimals' and show bow one is intimately connected with another, and the whole with the general farm crops. After all has been said for the farm specialist, we must admit that the ideal farming is that where a variety of crops are raised to suit a variety of farm animals. In a system economically and intelligentgently conceived there should be absolutely no waste whatever, and there need be none. It is simply because we do not raise enough animals or a sufficient variety to consume all the by-products of the crops. It is true * 1 ' 11 1 1 11. mnof IDai IU6 IXUU1UVL Ui hiood ouimnio auuov vary with the years. 'When corn is high priced it will pay to sell more aud to rednce the number of live stock dependent upon it for their food. On the ojlier hand, when grain is plentiful and cheap, increase the grain-eating animals and poultry, and sell the food in the form of meat and eggs, instead of grain by the bushel. A little study of the markets and of the best way to reduce costs and increase profits will enable the plain, every-day farmer to realize more on his assets than he does today.?C. S. Walters in American Cultivator. Snath American Milkmen. The South American milkman is quite a different man from the oue that calls at yonr door in New York city and leaves a glass bottle filled with what you suppose is the real article. Not very much milk is used in hot climates, probably becanse it will not keep and there is no ice; bat the little that is consume 1 you know is pure. Early in the day or late in the evening you may see cows driven about the streets of a South American city, and unless you are initiated you probably wonder why so many of them always appear at those hours. The cows are the milk wagons, and if you want a quart the driver of the cow will halt the animal and milk her before yonr eyes. Some milkmen drive three or four cows from honse to house until the snpply is exhansted, bat generally the' single animal is all that is owned by one of these individuals, I and from it enough can be made to support his family. Condensed milk of late years has supplanted the real article to a great extent, but there are those who still prefer milk fresh from 1 the cow to the other that has to be watered before use.?New York Herald. The Origin of Kowing. The probability is that the origin of this custom could only be found by going far back into tbe ages of antiquity, when prostration was the attitude of the slave be'ore his master. In short, what we now call jx)liteness ? t _ .11 _ began in servility, mere can narcuy be any doubt but that the practice of bowing the head originsted in exposing the neck to the stroke of the sword. From its earliest literal meaning it took a figurative one, meaning first submission, then deference, then mere politeness. As Herbert Spencer says, "The nod or bow of modern politeness is the last relic of the prostration of aucient servility." In the same way we shake hands with the r ght instead of the left because the right was the sword hand, and the giving of it into the hand of an enemy was a sign of peace and good faith. Taking off the bat, too, is a relio of doffing the helmet, and so leaving the most vulnerable portion of the body undefended as a mark of confidenoe on entering the dwelling A an ally ox friend.?Pearson's Weekly.

( There are several kinds of toothache, , dne to very different causes, and as not all sorts are capable of relief by the same means, it is useful to be able to distinguish among them. One form of toothache is dne to dis- < ! ease of the tooth itself, another to disease of the parts aboitf the tooth, , and still another to neuralgia of the nerves, the teeth themselves being perhaps perfectly sound. The most common toothache is [ caused by congestion or inflammation f of the pulp of a tooth. The palp is a | soft material filling the centre of the tooth and serving as a bed for the ( nerve and the blood vessels. When 1U0 U1UUU vea^cio axe tuaiggu, ?o vuuj are in case of congestion or inflammation. the pnlp is compressed,since the hard walls of the tooth prevent expansion, and so the nerve i3 pressed j npon and becomes painful. The ache so caused is fleroe and throbbing (a jumping toothache). Itis worse when the sufferer stoops or> lies down, and is increased by contact' with cold or hot water or food, with sugar or salt, or with the air. The The only difference between the paini j of a congested tooth-pulp and that of an inflamed pulp is that the latter is worse. If in a case of toothache of this kind 1 there is a cavity resulting from decay of the tooth, the pain can usually be relieved by the insertion of a little 1 pledget of cotton soaked in oil of cloves. Severe toothache may be caused by inflammation of the socket of the tooth, which may go on to an abscess, with swelling of the face and great distress. In this case the tooth is sore when tapped or pressed upon. The pain is severe and continuous? not intermittent, as in inflammation of the pulp?and is usually relieved a little by cold, but aggravated by heat Sometimes relief is afforded by cold* applications to the cheek; but of course a dentist should be consulted as early as possible in order that the inflammation may be controlled before it results in the formation of an abscess. The worst form of toothache, or a( least the most obstinate, is usually a neuralgia. In this case there is not apt to be swelling,the teeth are sound and the pain is not increased by sweets or salt, or by moderately cool or warm food.?Youth's Companion. Once Pyemic* Inhabited Europe. Excavations in southern Germany have just established the fact that in prehistoric times Europe was inhabited by pygmies. Strangely enough the discovery of actual and convincing testimony to that effect in southern Germany has been announced almost simultaneously with the news of similar discoveries in Switzerland and in the Pyrenees. So now there is proof that Herodotus and Homer were not "yellowing*' when they told of dwarfs that lived in wooded hills and caves far north of Rome and Greece. The skeletons which have been found are so small that they can be placed iuto an ordinary museum drawer. None of them is longer +han 55 inches, and many are smaller. There is no doubt that they are the skeletons of leal dwarfs. The bones prove that the bodies were those of adults. The finds have been mounted and are now being exhibited in the National Museum of Switzerland in Basle. Scientists think that the little people lived in ueolithio times. Flattering Consolation.

Loot Before the Citll War fie \Vtive Coats 61 Mail as a Side Line. "Abbnt twd years ago," said A Poy3raS street buSinCsS man, "there die<i it tiite Charity Hospital an eccentric 5ld German, who once upon a time followed the queerest trade in the world. He was a maker of coats of mail. Long before the war he had a little jewelry shop on the north side of Canal street, ind the coat-of-mail business was a >ort of private side line. The armor he then made was composed of small links of very hard steel, woveD together so compactly that one cou1^ not thrust evoh a pia through the inter* stices, flhd it was said that the 'coats' would turn eitner a itnire or ouiiei. They were fashione<l something like a 3leeveless undershirt, and were intended to be Worn immediately beneath the outside garment. In those days the use of such devices was popularly attributed to fellows who wanted to secure an unfair advantage in duelling, and the reputation of wearing one unler any circumstances was fatal to a reputation for courage. Consequently the old German didn't go to any pains to exploit his business, and his customers must baVe come to him through many devious channels. 1 knew the eld chap quite Weil whed t Was a boy. and i have often seen him putting the mail together in his little back room. He got the links from Germany and they cfime in ioiig single-strand chains, which he fastened together with small steel rings, thus building up a fabric like knitting a stocking. The coats were made over a wooden form, shaped like a man's torso, and were istonishingly light. After the war broke out a good many men bought them openly, as a legitimate protection, and for a while the eld man had more business than he could attend to. I went Into the army and lost Sight of him until some years lfter peace was declared. When I encountered him one day, working as a journeyman watchmaker, I asked at ence whether he made any more chain armor, and he laughed and said it had ?one out of fashion. I believe, however, that he used to sttll make a coat now and then for some crank up to the time- of his death. Of late years he quit active business and lived in quiet retirement out near St. John's bayou."?New Orleans Times - Democrat The Weekly Xewspaper. In commenting on the low subscription price asked for the average weekly newspaper, the Atlanta Constitution remarks editorially: That many weekly newspaper publishers have committed a grave mistake in dropping their prices of subscription, must now be as evident to themselves as it is to others. No doubt the idea was caught ft om an impression that weekly issues from large cities were sold at a lower price, and that there was a rivalry to be met. In the first place there was no rivalry, since that was a physical impossibilft^. The weekly newspaper is the chronicle of the local community, just as the city paper is that of the whole country. It would be as preposterous for the city paper to attempt to fill the field of the local paper as it would be for the latter to replace the former. Their aims and missions are different, and in no way can they displace each other. The weekly newspapei results from the existence of a local community which has business ventures, political ideas and social ventures of its own. The more important these interests are the more perfectly the newspaper becomes their exponent, the more indispdf&ble it is to the people. Therefore, a community which will not support its local newspaper furnishes but mighty poor campaigning ground for the city paper. The latter comes in as an addenda to a good work which is already going on, as an evidence of a sharpened appetite for reading. The first duty of every progressive community is to have its local newspa per, which should be liberally supported, and which should not be held in competition with any city publication. A poor representation would reflect upon the town; a good appearance gives the town character abroad. What, then, does the community owe the publisher? Certainly it oweB him that return which would have to be given to the lawyer, the commercial man or any other public servant. The weekly newspaper publishers Bhould awake to their mission and insist upon the support which is their due. The town which does not support its local paper has no claim to consideration either at home or abroad. Do Yoar Feet Ache and Burn ? Shake into your shoes Allen's Foot-Ease, a powder for the feet.
