AGIlUILTURE. FATTENINO FOwL.--What a different taste a fino, nicely and quickly fattened fowl has when served on the table, com pared with one which has been forced to scratch for all Its living, and then be con signed to the spit in anything but a fit con dition for foodI Farmers realize th' im portance of fattening quickly lhen feeding beeves for the butcher, yet many (o not realize the fact that what holds good. with that kind of meat is equally true when ap plied to fowls. Tenderness and juiciness are results of fattening quickly, while mere ordinary flavor ani want of tender ness result from letting fowls run until wanted tor use on the table. To enable one to fatten fowls or chickens quickly it is absolutely necessary to give such food as will accomplish the purpose best, and to this end we unhesitatingly recommend plenty of milk, in any state from fresh to thick. This should be fed in connection with a grain diet, for one ccomplements the other. If kept in a dark place and fed unsparingly on milk, with grain food in the proper proportions, you will soon have somethiung very choice to set upon your Ia ble for your friends, as well as for your family. When milk is fed no water is re quised for fattening fowls. Muox.-An acre of swamp muck of good quality, three feet deep, is actually worth $25,000. No doubt such a statement is surprising. So was the statement of Dr. Lawes, of England, that a ton of bran fed to cows return more than It cost in ma nure. The best muck, free from sand, contains two per cent. or forty pounds of nitrogen in a ton. Nitrogen is worth in the market twenty-five cents per pound, so that a ton of swamp muck is worth $30 for the nitrogen in it. All that is needed Is to work up the muck, so as to make the nitrogen available. An acre of swamp muck three feet deep contains 2,500 tons and would rcquire eight months to draw out,at ten loads a day. Few persons real ize the value of the fertilizing element of common waste matters which lie under their feet, and the innumerable tons of matter that may be available for fertilizing purposes, or that many of the idle and no glected materials represent a vast amount of wealth. But it must beriuembered that all swamp muck cannot be classed as of good quality-some of it Is next door to worthless. hMANAGEMENT OF OXEN.-The ox should be as little abused by threats end whiping as by stmnted feed and overtasked labor. Loud and repeated hallooing, or the severe use of the lash, is as impolitic as it Is cruel and disgraceful. We never witness this barbarity without wishing the brutes could change places, long enough, at least, to teach the biped that huianily by his own sufferings which his reason and sensibility have failed to inspire. Clear and intelli gible, yet low and gentle words, are neces sary to guide the well-trained, spirited ox. The stick or whip is needed rather to indi cate the precise movement desired than as a stimulant or means of punislhnent. The ox understands a moderate tone more per feely than a boisterous one, for all sounds become indistinct as they increase. Ewgs in lamb should, as far as practi cable, be fed and sheltered separately from the non-breeding animals, as the crowding and more rapid movements of the latter are apt to result injuriously, while such sepration makos more convenient certain little attention to which breeding ews ar entitled as the yeaning season approaches, and which may be profltablo accorded to them. Advantage will be found in subdi vision of the several ages and sexes into as many smaller lots as circumstances wvill ad mit of, as such course lessensa the limabilty to crowoing and over-feeding of ime st rong er animals at the expense of the weaker ones. It also brings each animal morec di rectly under thme eye of the attendant, who will the more readily detect the first symp toms of deviating from the diesiredi thrift. IUNING Snuiuns. -- Animing sp)imayas, deutzins andi many othber shirubs,a multi tude of sprouts will start from time roots. These should be thinned out con siderably, for It is far better to have a few strong, well seasoned shoots thanm a large number om watery, weakly sprouts. home trees will be sprout ing all over their stems; these sprouts had1( better ho rubb::d off at once, as if delayed later they will have to be cult off. Forsythias done bloonimig had better be thinned out au little, anid manny of thme long vmnelike shoots cut backc to geo.i strong buds or sprouts. Tfhe inlitu mde of sprouts they will lbe likely to p~roducee can be considerably lessened by rubbinug off; they will bloom all the better next sp~ring. TIIBRE Is quite as much necessity for barn cleaning on the farm as for house-clean. mng, and if farmers were as puniictiiius about the renovation and purinication of t he out-buildings as farmuerines are about thle dwellings, there would speedily lbe an improvement in the appearance of tings, anid of convenience too. Lost, or mnisplac ed tools are brought, to light, harn, shed and~ 81hop furnishings lput in order, space gainied anol a revival of cheerfulness every where. Find time for barn cleaning. To grow perfect cabbage It Is needful to sow the seedl ii forcinig-b~eds or (drills in the garden, and either to transplanmt or tin them out Into rows. When set out put, the plauts down to the first leaves, so that tihe stem Is all covered, else in Autumin time stems willl crack open. Set the plabnts two feet apart, and the rows three feet, ad theni they canm lbe kept free from weeds more easy. Wuzi!N fattening ani animal for beef let the process be mis quick as posible. Any stint, in feeding will make tihe meat tough and dry. Stall-fe~d animtals will fatien more readily than others, and young am mals require richer food titan older ones. Inm winter fattening much diependsl upioni the warmth of tihe stable. Th warmer the cattle are kept the less food will be needed. 1'noF.

GEonozs W. HAi..AoK who has a farm of forty-five acres on Long Islanid, raised last year 15,000 quarts of strawberrIes, 23,000 head of caulillowor, 2,800 bushels of on. mons, 3,000 bushels of wheat, 100 bushels of corn, 80,000 cucumbers, 6,300 bushmels of Brussels sprouts, 3,000 bushels of tur nips, 4,000 bushels o1 carrots and 150.000 cabbages. IT is estimated that with the yearly raini fall there is dleposited about an average of eight or ten pounds of ammonia per acre. To purchase the same in the form of smil phate of ammonia woldd cost the farmer about $2.80 per acre. This may be called the manurmal value of an acre of rain. A VEIL 5 a protection against the sun of heaven and t he Sn of the earth BREAD MAKINO. There is no more important branch in the process of culinary developement than that of bread making, or any that requires more practice and care. The Americans have more kinds of broad than any other nation, yet they do not always have better, and generally not as good as is often found in other countries. There are many ways of making bread: by mixing with yeast, by using leaven, by salt risings and milk yeast, s'd by mixing the flour with water which is charged with carbonic acid, called aerated bread. Yeast bread is by far the most healthful and econ omical of all modes of making it. There are a great many rules, but the first prin ciples are always the same. These are, one quart of flour, a little more than one fourth of a quart of water, one-fourth of a cake of compiessed yeast, one-fourth of a tablespoonful of sugar. The water should always be blood warm, and the dough thor oughly kneaded to evenly distribute the yeast, and render the grain of the bread fine and uniform. Milk is often used instead of water, with a little butter, which makes it more nutritious: yet there i1 no bread which has the delicious, sweet taste of the wheat, and which will keep as long as yeast broad made with water. Leaven, which one associates more with cookery described in biblical literature, is a paste iade of flour and water and allowed to sour. Sometimes housekeepers and bakers keep a piece of the risen dough for the next mixing, and this is called leaven. IVNEUMoNA.-There are few diseases in which special treatment adapted to Individ ual cases is more important than in pneu monia; for the measures that would be salutary in one case would be injurious or even fatal in another. In the belief, there fore, that such general directions as could be given in the limited scope of this article would he likely to do quite as much harm au good, the few remaining remarks shall refer to the oflice of nurse rather than to that of doctor. The patient shotuld lie with his shoulders somewhat elevated. in protracted and debilitated cases his position should be changed occasionally. in order to preveri t the settling of the blood in any part of the lungs. Care should be taken to ex pose the chest aid body as little as possible, The air of the sick room should be of a uniform temperature, and warm, yet puri fled by suilcient ventilation. In early stages, what little diet the patient can take, should be farinaceous drinks, such as gui water, barley i a, or, thin gruel, to which may be added a decoction of ripe fruit, or the juice of oranges or fresh grapes, the Indigestion portion tieing carefully rejected. As the fever abates give tea, with toasted broad or crackers, or a little rice; then Indian mush nilk, broths, lighter mnt., eggs, oysters. Inl this, as in other diseases, nat ure powerfully aids a sound constituton, and with good nursing, and a little medical treatment, will veiy often suffice.

She had heard f the comet, but did not have a very clearly deflued idea as to what it was, When it first appeared her little boy, Billy, said one evening; "Ma, may I go out and see the cometI'' "Not to-night, my son, it's too (lark; wait until to-morrow, when there is daylight," Next morning she told Billy he might go out and see it, but to be careful and not go too close to it, and above all things not to pull its tail or fool around among the other animals in the tent. "DiD you know there's another cometI" remarKed lie to her last evening. "No, is there ?" was the sweet interrogatory. "Y-c-c-s. That makes two comets, now." "Your arithmetic Is excellent, Isn't it ?" sarcastically. And that young man immo. diately picked up his hat, and without waiting to twirl it in his hand skipped down the steps. le thought he had opened the conversation very brililantly, and wuen he found lie hadn't he took the nearest star route to see another and less sarcastic girl.

Experiments in regard to the effect upon horses of a diet of "pig nuts' have recently been made in Germiany.
