AGRIOULTURB. YOUNG CiIUKENS AND INSICCTS.-The practice of excluding chiokens from the garden, especlally in mid-summer, is bad both for the chickens and for the vegetables. The young chicks will not thrive in confinement, as in freedom, and the growing plants are in a good measure protected from in sects by the chickens. We have never succeeded better with young broods than by putting them, with the moth er, in the vegetable garden, The mother Is kept confined in a coop, and the chickens have free access to her through the slats. She follows her in stinct in scratching over the ground under the coop for worms and grubs, and after a few days the coop is pushed along to new soil. The chickens are regularly fed with s6alded meal, or boiled screenings; they supply theni selves with animal food from the gar den. The chickens are too small to do any harm to plants that are ,well star ted, and yet they pick up an Immense number of insects. The more highly the garden Is manured, the more ra pidly do insects multiply, and the greater is the need o1 birds and fowls to keep them In check. The chickens can go beneath cucumbers, squashes, bean s, tomatoes, etc., and pick the eggs and worms from the underside of the leaves, where they are generally found. They eagerly chase every moth and bug that flies, and if one alights within striking distance, it is sure to be de voured. When the chickens are large enough to do injury to the plants, they are easily removed to other quar ters. DIsToUTING VEURTABLE OnowT. The practice of distorting trees, shrubs and climbers into various stiff and grotesque forms, instead of allowing them to grow In their natural and graceful beauty, cannot well be re garded as much of an improvement, Both kinds of distortion are to be ob jectici to, namely, by artificial means purposely, and by allowing the trees or shrubs to became distorted by unna tural and one sided crowding. James Vick glyes an illustration in his lMonth ly, expressive of his opinion of at tempts at "improvements" of the kind. lie states that at the time, many years ago, that several eminent English oll cials were preaeit to witness ke ope. ration of Perkiii's famous steam-gun, opinions were freely expressed of its merits, but Wellington said nothing. When urged to give lils opinion, lie merely replied that he had been think ing "that this steam-gun had been the first, Invented, what a grand improv ment oi iU gunpowder would have been !" And if a tree or shrub origi nally grew in the form of a stiff cone, or a peacock, or a statue, what a grand 1mprovement a handsome,grace uI out ine would be considered by cultlVa tors ! TuE CUITIVATION OF 'HIE CHAN1ICR nr.-Wherover the cranberry has been successfully Introduced it has proved itself one of the most valuable of our small fruits, having the advantage over all others In its adaptability of being kept for so much greater length of time. It Is most profltably cultiva ted on low, moist, level lands, where drainape as well as overlowing can be applied, as circuinstances may reqire, Yet, like many other plaints, it may be grown isuccessf ully under conditions very different fron those in which it Is found In its wild state. Any loamy naturally moist garden soll will grov cranberries.

PIowINo.--There arc two kiuds of soil on every man's farm--the agriul tural soil and the suibsoil. T1he agri cultural soil may be two 1inches deep or it may be nine, but It is imot twenty feet. It is not deeper than time air can p~enetrate. If' the agricultural soil is too shallow it may be gradually (deep ened by lifting an inch of tile sumbsoil at each plowing, briinging it up to tile air aind enriching it with imanuie.

ABOUT BSXAD-MAR IN3.-To make bread, pare and rinse very clean five pr six large potatoes, or what will make a quart when mashed; boll un til tender; pour off the water In which they are boiled and save It; mash them very line and put them into the potato water, and to this, *hile notr, add a pint of flour, or enough to make a very thin batter-and thinner the better the bread-and add enough cold water to make about three quarts of the whole. When it is cool-not as warni as new milk-add It to half a cupful of yeast and set it in a warm place to rise. By making this sponge at night, it will be light enough in the morning to mix. Got your Ilour into your bread-pan,and strain the sponge into it, having pre viously stirred into the sponge a tea spoonful of soda, and mix It up Into dough. Be careful not to get It too hard. Knead oni a board for about ten minutes; then plae'e In the pan again and set it to rise. In about two hours or a little less, it will be ready to mould into loaves. It should rise until it cracks on top. Im forming into loaveg,work as little as possible lin order to get it into shapeand letit rise again. When it is light, place In the oven and bake an hour and a quarter. After re moving from the oven, wrap up well in a cloth, bread closely while uaking, as inucli depends on that. Add a little salt to the lour before pouriug iI the sponge. I think by havinggood flour, and following these directions closely, one cannot fall to have good bread. It a person has poor bread, nothing on the table appears good; but with good bread, one can dispense with some other things, and still feel that she has a nice dinner or tea. In col weather, one can keep the sponge two or three days and the bread will be Just as good. By using some of the potatoes and the water they were boiled in at dinner time, the sponge will be igit enough to mix Into dough at night, and will be reatly for mziouin(iig iIto loaves early in the morning.

LIME IN TIM TEA KETTL.-Every good housewife knows that an iron ket tle used for heating water that holds limtle in solution, will in a short time become coated with that substance. This being a poor conductor of heat,it will of course take a longer time to heat the water than when the kettle Is new. Copper or tin vessels do not be come coated with lime. The reason is that iron has an aillnity for lime which the other metals have not. But this fllinity can be overcome by coating the [i tier surface of the vessel with a com pound of tanie acid and Iron, whleh is soluble in water and vill not precepi tate lizzie. This is easily done. Take i new tea kettle and put a handful of >ak bark Into it, 1iii with water, and keep it, boiling for three or Iour hours, III it u1p from time to time as tile wa ;er boils away.

P'riee 6 cents Ilieastng Prospects Respecting the "Dot Isra of our Daddaes."0 A Boston journal contains the following, taken from one of the New York dailes: "In noting the departure for Europe of Mr. John W. Mackay, the California mil lionairo, our New York contemporary pre .sents the following intercting particulars relating to the famous Comstock Lode, the camping ground, as it were, of more than one of the Pacilo coast millionaires. There has been, no doubt, considerable of the 'wild cat' business in mining in one way or another, but with the following results and figures, which are unquestionably true, staring one in the face, it will readily be seen why the most'far-sighted and knowing ones continue to pin their faith to and pan their profits from the above celebrate' section. The north end of the ledge is now attracting especial attention, and from latest developments, those made in the Original Keystone mine-the latter running 1,800 feet on the main ledge, and accord ing to the recent investigation and report of the English expert, John D.

"rho celebrated Comstock vein or lode is situated in Story County, in the State of Nevada, on a ohain of mountains called the Washoe Range, east of the Sierra Nevada, having a mean elevation of 0,000 feet above the level of the sea, Blount Davidson, the highest peak, reaching an elevation of 7,900 feet. "The range begins near Carson City, run ning with a general direction of 22 (leg. west of north for 150 miles. "The whole region represents a great barren wilderness, where nature hasdenied ill agricultural prosperty, but in her equity has stored probably the greatest amount of mineral wealth to be found in one locality in the world. "During the last twenty years the Com stock vein has given sixteen bonanzas, from which 6,500,000 tons of ore.have beei extracted. "The average assay value of this large mass was $50 per ton; it yielded in the mill $41.80, and from the treatment of sluices, $5-total $40. 80 per ton. "Thus the total value of the ore ox tracted was $36:3,071.605, yielding a net sum from ills and sluices of $323, 671,. 606.
