A Home for Forty Fowls* A. comfortable house may be built, say twenty feet long and ten feet wide, und eight feet front and five feet back, boarded upright and battened, with a shed roof, shingled, the flooring to be made by filling it with mellow loam to the top of the under-pinning; this we consider better than a cement floor. This building had bjtter be divided into two compartments, witti partition ana door; the south front should have two windows of six lights, eight by ten glass; the east, one window. Ventilators should be fixed at the highest point on each end. The roost should not be over two feet high, and about eight inches above a platform twenty inches wide; underneath this platform the nest boxe-3 can be placed. A dust bin must also be provided. And now you have a comfortable place for forty fowls, at a cost of not over $25. Yards can be built on the south side corresponding with the width of the coops, and as long as room can bo spared to make them. Your fowls must have access to a grass run each day (an hour or two toward evening will answer), or else grass or weeds must be cut and thrown to them in their ^ yards. Carbolic acid largely diluted with water will drive away the lice in your hen house; it may be applied with a wisp, which we should consider preferable to a small pump. It would Hardly pay to licat the house in cold weather; it would be better to make it as warm as possible by either ceiling it or lining with tarred paper. Moles v?. Mlco. The question of moles eating vegetables, like the chess question, will not down. The difficulty is that the true mole, an animal that lives entirely ou insects and such small animals as it may be able to overcom?, Is confounded with a species of mole-like mice, of which we have ifr number. The true mole is comparatively rare in the "West, and does no other injury than in disturbing plants while burrowing for insects. The mole like mice seem to be insect as well as vegetable feeders. A writer in the , American Garden, who seems to have carefully investigated the habits of moles, as many naturalists htfve before, says: AlfVlAllrpVl mnloa /1a ?r?nn rl/tniMAw "U.U^IUIW UVOblUJ & few plants by uadermingling their roots, it is more than probable that they are blessings in disguise; that moles do not eat plants, but eat worms and grubs, admits of no doubt, they being found mostly in places where worms and grubs are plentiful. We have frequently followed the mole tracks under rows of dead strawberry plants, and have invariably found upon the roots the peculiar evidences of the knawing of grubs, (no mole teeth about it,) thus proving that grubs had already been engaged in their destructive work, and were only arrested in their mischievous progress by the timely arrival of the mole, who, after having found his prey, would not follow the same row any further, but would make a short cut to the next row waere his keen scent indicated the presence of another choice morse!." nrAnni* nrow to <-a /I ?? *MV J?.V|/V* (TUJ AO WW UIOOl lllilU atu ; / between mice and moles. If you find the marks of rodent teetli on vegetables they will be those of mice, not moles. - The worst that can be said of moles is ^ that in their search for insects in lawns they do sometimes render tho surface unsightly. But they destroy every li?ing bisect or larva they meet. ^ -< V Imperfect Action lii Homes. k; .

In /. this is of course included the hoof?, and upon city pavements these soonest show disability. To produce perfect action in all the parts there must be unity of action, one part with another. The diges% tive organs must be perfect and properly supplied to furnish power t>every part / cf the system. The lungs and heart must be ample and the barrel round, since tho lungs and heart supply arterial force and the barrel gives room to the digestive organs.

Yet, however good a foal may be naturally, he will degenerate year by year if he docs not have proper food and exercise, and tho exercise must be in relation to what he has to do when put to labor. The draft horse must be trained >' to walk as the chief motion, for the ability to move a load at a fast pace largely constitutes his value. If there O?A ? aL ! ? mv wuovivuntvuai ui^auiiiucn nitHU may be partially overcome, or at least be lessened, by proper training, and his usefulness still further assured by proper ap> pliancce. One of the most common faults In work horses is stumbling when going r ^ at an ordinary pace, either the walk or a K alow trot. In relation to this a veterin: ary writer states that there are two causes tending to such action. One of these is - a general weakness in the muscular sys, ~ V tem, such as would be noticed in the , .- :vv ' i - * ; ? '?tired horse; the other, a weakness of the exterior muscles of the leg, brought about by carrying too much weight on the toe. To cure this, measurably at least, it is advised to lighten the weight of each front shoe about four ounces; have the toe of the shoe made of steel instead of iron; it will wear longer; have it rounded off about the same as it would bo when one-third worn out, in order to prevent tripping. But as a prettminary means allow one week's rest. Have the legs showered for a few minutes at a time with cold water through a hose, in order to create a spray; then rub dry briskly from the chest down to the foot. Give walking exercise during this week for about an hour twice a day.?Chicago Tribune. i Farm and Garden Notes. Thorough cultivation of corn and po- i tatoes often repeated will be found a safe protection against droutli. Rearrange fields in such a way as to reduce fencing to the lowest point, and i cost of maintenance on many farms will be reduced enough to balance annual claims by the tax-gatherer. Heavy winds that shake off a great deal of fruit do not always diminish yield, for what is left grows larger, sometimes so much superior in size and appearance as to overbalance all apparent loss. A fat steer or other animal intended for the butcher will go off readily at any time, but it is not possible to put on the required fat in a few days, so if there is the intention to sell good feeding is a prerequisite. A Wisconsin farmer says that if thistles are cut off even with the ground and salt placed on them as fast as they appear, they can be destoyed, but that watchfulness and industry must be exercised in keeping them salted. The careful shepherd vanes the feed of his flock to suit their condition and appetites. On cold, clear days his stock will eat nearly twice as much as on warm, wet days, and the amount of feed should be gauged accordingly. m Many nurseryman advise transplanting evergreens in late summer rather than spring, as the pleasant moisture of the i autumn causes them to root well before winter, and they are not first taxed to endure the scorching heat of early summer. Poultry farming doesn't take a great deal of land, but with good management the harvest comes every day, and, though it is small, its multiplication by all the days of the year makes a sum that compares favorably with more pretentious ventures. Ivy or any vine that runs perpendicularly up a tree does not injure it, unless branches from the vine extend along the branches, and, by its mass of leaves, smother the leaves of the tree. Vines like wistaria, that coil around a trunk, do injure trees. The disposition of an animal depends somewhat on the treatment it receives. Rough usage causes the animal to become irritable, and, when they are not viciousf they are in a perpetual state of fear, which prevents improvement in yield of either milk, butter or meat. , There is much diff srence in the quality of paris green, much that is sold being so heavily adulterated that it is impossible to decide how much to apply. The 'impure poison is believed to be injurious to potato vines, perhaps because of its impurity being applied stronger than it should be. The high-priced pure paris green is cheapest. The guinea fowl is a great forager, and destroys many insects that the hens will not touch. They do not scratch in the garden, and, though not easily kept near the house, they make known the places where they lay by a peculiar noise, which enables one accmtomed to them to find i all the eggs they lay. They really cost notning to raise, and when roosting near the house create an alarm should intruders make their appearance. For the purpose of giving new life to 1 plants after excessive blooming, some kind of a fertilizer should be used. If commercial fertilizers aie used,care must be exercised in applying them, as they are powerful, and if too much is placed i among the roots it will kill the plant. Liquid manu-e may be used with good effect on plants enfeebled by blooming, and, in fact, it is a good fertilizer to have on hand at all times. Liquid manure may be applied with greater freedom than the commercial fertilizer.

Urapc-Growiug and Raisin-Curing. W. II. Waddington, in Wei'# Magazine, says: Grape-growing, drying and curing for raisins is now an established industry in Southern California. Every year the area devoted to it is very much increased, so that in a few years we expect to supply m- st all that is needed by the eastern and western cities and markets. Thf United States1 consumption of raisins at present is placed at 0,000,000 boxes, 01 120,003,000 pounds. The yield of Southern California in 1883 was about 473,000 boxes, or 9,500,000 pounds, and more than a quarter of these were grown and cutvid in the San Bernardino Valley. Tbe ubiquitous croaker is already beginning to croak of over-stocked markets and low prices, but as "good wine needi no bush," so good raisins will not look long for a market, an I, as after all, the area is very limited where they can be grown and cured, raisin growers have nothing to feur in the future. The "rapes crown for raisin-curin<? are ^ a the Morocco, Muscat of Alexandria and the Sultana, the Muscat leing greatly in cxcess of the others, and in my estimation much superior. It takes one ton of grapes to make about thirty boxes of good raisin?, and vines in this district, three, four and five years old, wilLyield ten, fifteen and twenty pounds respectively to the vine; this is the average of a fairly good vineyard. A Cloud of Butterflies. One of the most beautiful sights in the world is the annual migration of butter flics across the Isthmus of Panama. Where they come from or whither they go no one knows, and though many distinguished naturalists have attempted to Bolve the problem, it is still as strange a mystery as it was to the first European who observed it. Towards the end oi June a few scattered specimens are discovered flitting out to sea, and as the days go by the numbers increase, until about the 14th or 15th of July the Bky is occasionally almost obscured by myriads of these fruil insects. Viewed from a distance, or through a telescope, the spectacle is indiscribahly wonderful. As the sun shines on the millions of swiftly fluttering wings, the result is a glistening and pulsating liazc of golden green. When the wind drives them to tho earth tlicy can b3 caught in handfuls. Swallows and fly-catcliere single out the largest and chase thcra often for miles. On being examined the butterfly is fouad to be of the beautiful Uraina leilm Bpccies. Its wings aro of velvety black and bronze and golden greep. Occasionally it is seen to settlo on branches ol trees and flowers before leaving land altogether. But in spite of the most active exertions of naturalists, the origin and destination of the inseets are abso^ lutely unknown. Knew Him night Away.

The Wive? of Teheran. j Truly the government of the shah is a paternal one. The women of Teheran, I -writes a correspondent, went a few weeks ago in a body to the king's palace and complaincd that the coffee shops (oi which an extraordinary number have been opened lately) took away theii husbands from their work and tlieii home duties, causing them to spend all their money in drink and smoke. Aftei all, the drink was merely tea and coffee. | The shah sympathized with the wives of Teheran. He acted promptly, and, as the commander of the faithful is said tc have done under similar circumstances, he ordered that all the coffee houses in the capital were to be closed. Closed they were; closed they remain. The next day the royal ciict went forth that all the provincial coffee houses were tc be closed. They, too, are all shut up. Fancy such an order in a civilized country; but there nobody grumbles. The women, of course, are in ecstasies; but the haunters off coffee bouses, who form by far the larger proportion- of the malt sex in the larger Persian towns, are iu despair. Swnt Sixteen.

As I was jaunting alonj the other day I heard two voices sing 1 ng which seemed to emerge from i green hillside until the car came clos upon the singers, a couple of girls wit! 1 just such hair, eyes and skin as I hnv described, nestled down in the dee] grasses, thick with red fairy-thimbles busily at work 'sprigging.' Jumping ol the car, I asked to look at the work, am with the civility which marks their rac< 1 they rose and handed me their littl ' frames, upon each of which a muslii handkerchief was pinned. "in tamng up one or them I recog nized the embryo of what we call iu th { United States a fine French embroidere< handkerchief.

The other handkerchief was of coarser muslin, a simple pattern worked in gay colors, and, judging from its Bize, foi child's use. "On inquiring where they got thia | work, I was informed they went every week to the 'sprigging' agent in the ad1 ioinins town of Kalcar. The nrire nniil I - - r *? by the agent for working these handkerchiefs varies from two to three penoe ! (twenty conts) each for the more ela' borate ones. At this work, requiring 5 close application, great skill and unflagging industry, these girls can earn in ' a week from half a crown (sixty-two and j * a half cents) to three shillings (seventyfive cents).
