This disease is exceedingly con tagions, and is similar in every respect to the diphtheria of persons. It arises from the same causes, Viz,, poisoning by bad air or dampness, by whieli the germs of the disease are encouraged. The remedy < lies, first, in removing the cause, making the poultry house clean and dry, and keeping it as warm as m»y be. The sick birds are treated by giving doses of powdered chlorate of potash, one small pinch of it being dropped in the throat twice a day. The swelled heads are bathed with warm vinegar, and tho month and throat washed by means of a soft feathef. Tho house should bo well disinfected by'bnrning sulphur in it during the day, keeping it tightly closed for an hour or two while the fumes of tho sulphur are aeting. All dead birds should be buried deeply, away from the house. —New York limes. TEACatXG CALVES TO DRINK. According to F. E. Emery, Agri culturist at the North.

Cauliflower, like all vegetables of tha brassies, or cabbage, family, re quires a vet y rich soil. The land should be treated to about eighty two-horse lords of horse manure, or of comported horse and hog manure to the sore. This should be plowed un der,, care to be taken that the soil be not wet, bet in perfect friable and mellow condition. The drills should be,about three feet apart and the cul tivation level and very frequent. There is a hand cultivator which is preferable after the plants are about half grown, because horse Or mule wonld doubtless destroy them if the drills be only three feet wide. The object is to have large, compact heads. As soon as these are well formed they should be shipped, or the blue oj; pur ple bloom will form, aud then the heads are Unsalable, nt fair or good prices. If necessary, turning the olant on its roots; say half-way round, wilt act as a check, and breaking two or three of the outer leaves over the already fully formed head will afford a beneficial shade and a little more re tarding. Only one-third of the leaf is turned over the head, and it is not separated from the main plant. Cauli flower should be shipped in shallow crates, or. if the regular cabbage orates be used, pack in tiers so os not to injure the bead. The recently formed refrigerator car lines with ex pert handlers will prove a great ad vantage for shippers, —pourie*'-Jour nal. . OROTFINO Aj'iFALFA .! Just now there is much' inquiry go- ■it 'the rounds as .to proper methods to be employed in the.. starting of a 'stand of alfalfa. - ■ In reply to a'query olpng this lino from a correspondent of the Nebraska Farmer, Profeasor Charles ll Besseyhas written .as fol lows: “In the growth of alfalfa it is nec- e'ssary, first of all, to take great pains to fit the soil for the young' plants. ’The ground must be rich and mellow, tiniess it has bod legumea growing up on it it should lie treated to a good quantity ai barnyard manure in order t? supply thi; soil with pv*ilabl»nitro- ? ;eu.

Sow the seed os early as possibleintbe spring, but do not sow it on another crop, as we generally do with clover. It is well to sow a peck or so of oaU per acre with Hie alfalfa, simply to af ford a little shade to the yoang plant*. Since a field ought to lost many years when once a good stand is secured, it will pay to take great pains with it. Do not try to seed too large a field at once, but begin with a few acres, so as to give these the greatest care, and add to the area each year. In this way success is reasonsbly certain. But dj not attempt it without seeing that tha soil is rich in nitrogenous matter. Put on barnyard manure freely.’’ THE FLO wen OF SORROW, Bummer come* and summer goes, But all months ot all years There if felling ol tears Summer comes and summer goes, ■ All hours are griefs, and the sower sows i To-d*y end to-morrow Tbe Flower of Borrow Buds and blows. —John Vance Cheney, In Century Magazine.

F70 of the three Fosdick girls as pired to wealth and social position. They claimed i few rich relatives, who visited them occasionally and raved over the “lovely fields” and “darling cows." but nevertheless would have su£ fered the pangs of hunger before they would have made an effort to till these same fields or soil their dainty hands by milking a caw. Among tho conntry relatives was Aunt Tabitha Simonds. She began life with a little amount of property, and had been known to have been very oconomioal for many years. She was a very peculiar woman, but received due courtesy at the hands of some mem bers of the family on account of “what Aunt Tabby might possibly do for them.” Tho shrewd old lady intuitively gauged those courtesies and knew just where to draw the line, where true deference should manifest itself. Tho Fosdioks were a family of six, father, mother, son and three daugh ters. Celinna, Clara and Marie were the daughters, but ware unlike in char acter and personal appearance. Ce- lindn was the acknowledged beauty of the family. Clara considered herself of the most importance in literary matters, aud Marie, the youngest, a plain, sensible; good little daughter, who made everybody happy. Just bow sjl were busily discussing a letter just received. It was Celinda who spoke first. “Of all things! That Aunt Tabby should thrust herself upon us this sum mer 1 And we might just os well have had'Some guest from the city who would have returned the hospitality for me next winter. Aud no knowing whether we shall make anything ont of her.” • ’ ‘Celinda, I’m ashamed of you. Why need yon be 50 mercenary?” exclaimed her fqther, reprovingly. Celinda scowled. "Pm snrS'Aunt Tabby is mersen ary,” she said, in n complaining tone. “If she would aver do anything for us or make us presents it would be differ ent, but sho just scrimps all tbe time ^nd allows us to scrimp, too. ” Celinda tossed her head fretfully. “And I’m sure she has no regard for the poetry’ of life,” simpered Clara. “Maybe Aunt Tabby doesn't care for the poetry in books, but she cares for another word that begins with p and that is ‘practical;’ she takes right bold to help with the housekeeping,” said the tired, overworked Mre. Fosdiok. “Yes, indeed) I don’t know what we would have done that hard summer without her,” said Marie, with a grate ful remembrance of Aunt Tabby’s will ing and ready hands. “We ought to htve souls above snob drudgery," exclaimed Clara, rolling her eyes towards the ceiling. “Well, Clara, I can tell von one thing,” interposed Mr. Fosdick. “Books are all right enough in their places. ’ Folks ought to have plenty of ’em and know what is in ’em, too— which is more than half of ’em oan say who have a big library. All the same, I guess if it wasn’t for this same drudg ery as you call it, you wouldn’t be quite a« comfortable as you are.” There was a little silence while Mr. Fosdick drank his tea and then Con tinued : “You like pie and cake well enough, but yoq don’t wont to go into the kitchen to help make 'em. Seems to me yon might help mother and Marie a little more.” “Ms says I bother her,” replied Clara, in an apologetic tone. “That’s because yon ain’t teachable, like Marie. She had to learn. ” “It’s bo use of fussing, girls,” said Mrs. Fosdick. “Even if Aunt Tabby is old and sometimes queer and cross, I think we can manage. ” “dhe needn’t be oo queer,” said Ce linda. “Bhe is just os she was mode, if she is my sister, and we’vo got to make the best of it,” said Mrs. Fosdick, rising wearily from the table. Abner Maoon, sitting in the kitchen, hod beard all this conversation. He compared the fretfnl, complaining voice of Celinda to Clara's drawling tones, end again with the cheerful, practical words of the pleasant Moris. Abner was'.something more than a farmer’s hand. He possessed a fine physique and fair edueation, broadened by a ceurse of good reading. He wanted to kn.ow how to run a farm. He had views of e time when he might own • farm of hia own and he wanted to Jearn how to utilize every acre. He had also had his day dreams of ' the time when his home might be pre sided over by a fair, good woman, and somewhere in the depths of his soul hsd been registered a purpose to moke Mtrie his wife. But of this Marie was blissfully ig norant. Sho worked about house all day andserved Abner at table os grace fully as if he were a titled guest. Mtrie had no nonsense about her and respected the young man who so faith fully lightened her father’s toil. On this particular afternoon she watched her father as he stood in the book porch, pausing for a few mo menta’ rest before setting out for the htyfield for the afternoon’s work. She noticed ho passed his hands wesrily over his pale, tired-looking face, and turning suddenly to him, said: “Fa, can’t yon sit down and rest a little while? You look more tired than usual. ” “No, child. There's that lot to be raked up this afternoon, aud a good job it is, I must bo going." Abuer came near and eald: "I’m willing to work extra bard on It if you rest for a little while. I think myself you don't look qmto well. If yon will trust mo I will look after that this afternoon." Mr. Fosdiok had learned to rely on 1 Abner—much more thoii on bis own sou, Henry, who, if truth must be told, was inclined to shirk; Henry disliked the form. In fact, * ho dis liked labor or application of aby sort. “Then I guess you may go on, Ab ner, and 1 will rest a spell. T i tell the truth I don’t feel very scrump tious,” and he seated himself in the old-fashioned rock«r out in the slj vdy eide of the porch. He soon fell asleep. Two hours passed, and Marie began to feel anxious, as her father seemed Still deeping. She passed her hand anxi- ouslv over his brow. _ He awoke, but seemed deied. He failed to recognize^ her, aa he failed to recognise all the, other members of .the family. Dr.' Borne was hastily summoned, who said he was suffering from sunstroke, and gently intimated that his. working days were over. Abner came homo much later than nsiial, having stayed to finish the lot. He found tbe family in distress over Mr. Fesdick’s condi tion. Somehow tho blow seemed to have crushed Mrs. Fosdick. She sat in a state pt apathy, from, which they could not aronso her. Everything fell upon Marie. "Mario” must do this. "Marie" must direct that. Henry, instead of bracing himself to help meet the needs of the place, gre w lazier than ever, andabeolutely refused to be dictated to. . “There’s just one thing about it, Abner,” said Marie emphatically one morninj^yre have got to make our plans exactly os if Henry were not here. He can’t bo depended upon. Yon had to do his work yesterday •• well oa your own. He is determined to go to the city. Let him go. I shall oppose him no longer. Then we shall know just what we have got to depend upon. ” - The next day Henry started for the city, leaving his share of the burden to fall upon Marie and Abner. “I'll do tbe liest I can, Miss Marie,” said Abner. “I went yon to feel free toxall upon me early and late and I will sorve^rou faithfully.” “I don’t doubt you will, Abner, but oh! if only mother bad not fallen into such a strange condition! She doesn’t seem to cars about anything, and I dou’t know much. I shall have to de pend upon you entirely about the farm, and if I fail to show judgment you’ll know it is because I don't know, not because I don’t care, and then wa will talk things over and get os straight as wo can.” Marie was not a crying girl usually, but just now such large tears stood in her pretty eyes, and she looked up into Abner's face with such.an appealing, dependent look that he felt hit heart jump”straight into Marie’s hands. .. ; "It’s not much that I know, but you may trust me. Miss Marie. ” Somehow Marie felt extremely com forted from that moment, although she could not sing about the hqhse in her old-time way, yet she worked aud directed with a feeling of greater se curity than before. And in the midst of it all Aunt Tab by came. Even Marie, hospitable as she was, fel! a bit more weary offer she had welcomed her ana lelped her place her few garments in the neat “spare chamber.” “Now, look *’ here, Marie. I made up my mind-to com*, even if your pa an’ ma air tick. I can do a little to help, an’I will, too, if you an’I can agree on a few things. ” “But you are getting old, and you are not strong, anntie. Yon must not do much ; you’l! '-t ' k. ” “If I ain’t capable here’s folks in the world as is an’ we can get ’em.” “No, we can't,for we’ve no money to do it with,” laid Marie, decidedly. ‘ “Well, I have, an’ I'll do it, pro vided a good smart gal can coma here an’ help you, but if you say ..you’ll allow her to wait on them lazy girls an’ work over their flounces an’ furbe lows instead of hatpin’ you, why ’tiiiut of much use.” Mario caught eagerly at thie hope of help. 1 “Well, auntie, T promise yon faith fully that Celinda aud Clara shall wait upon themselves and iron their own flounces. We ••ill have good work done m an orderly manner, and I am tired. Aunt Tabby.” “Well, tbere’s one a-oomin’ by next Stage. I counted on how it would lie an’ took the liberty to have her .prom ise to come. She's a stout, likely gab ” Marie knew her aunt’s compliments would not be undeservedly given. She ran down with a lighter heart. Abner came in with his pails Of milk and won dered at tha unusual brightness of Marie’s tired face. “Yon can’t always tell what folks will do,” he said, after Marie had ex plained. “I felt as if she had a streak of goou m her which emergencies would bring out. ” And so the summer waned, and the §ged father and mother were still in valids. It was with a sad heart and sometimes tear-dimmed eyes thstMarie saw Abner’s favorite books gathering a suspicion of dust upon their covers. He bad no time for stndy or reading. - Aud then Aunt Tabby suddenly fell ill. “It’s of no use doctorin’.” she said. “My time has come. I fed it, an’ to morrow I wqpt things fixed pretty much as I want ’em, an’ I’ll get you an’ Abner to help me tend to it.’’ So a time was set apart for the duty —to Marie a sad doty, for she redly loved the old lady, who had been so kind to her. With the renewed strength and dear. voice which is sometimes given-a-dying person, she gave e few explicit direc tions. "Jest hand me -that tin box oai o’ the upper dfawero'my barest), Marie.” She did as site was bidden. “An’ how I want that tanberel o’ mine oat 6’ the closet.” ' • A faint smile touched MarieV lira ss she brought an old brown umbrella that had been the derision of hor ev- ters. Aunt Tabby took it in her trem bling hands and deposited it carefully on the bed beside her. Then she opened the box. - - “Now, here in this old black wallet is e hundred dollars. I calkerlate it will pay my funeral expenses. An’ hero iu this brown wallet is 9200 more, which I give into your charge, Marie, to help pay some of the bouse expense. An’ here is my will. You take care o’ that, Marie, aa’ see that everything goes straight as I have got it. ' Lawyer Sibley drew it up an’ you oan get him to read it when I’m gone. An’, Abner, I give to you this umberel o’ mine. Take good core on't, an’ maybe it will help be anmrtection to your out age. I guess that’s all—only, Marie—you may .give in/ old clothes to Mammy Gidfftmsf' Don't bury me in my beat dress. Give it to her; second best will do!” And with these strsnge words she turned her head on the pillow and expired. A few hours later Marie, standing in the porch, with the sunset rays falling about her, said to Abner: “I hope you won’t feel, insulted by Aunt lobby’s giving you that dread ful umbrela. It was a singular thing for her to do, but you know she was portly crazy. I know she. thought a great deal'pf you, Abner. I wish she had done something for you. ” “Never mind, Marie, I shall not hold it against her, yon may be sure; and as for t he umbrella, if I were at all a believer in luck—which I am not— I should say tho poor old weather beaten thing will certainly bring it to meL X glial! certainly take care or It, as she said. ” Celinda and Clara were in haste to learn the contents of Jho will. “Not until after the funeral,” said Marie, decidedly. And so; after those last rites were performed, Lawyer Sibley was called :o read the will. It bequeathed #1000 ;o Mr. and Mrs. Fosdick, #100 to Oe- indaond Clara and #2000 to Marie. * ‘How strange that she did r.ot men tion her farm in Yermon',! She has aot spokeu of disposing of it; but per haps she has done so and this money i* the price. Still, Lslould thought iho would have mentioned it,” said Marie to Abner. The next morning it was raining as Marie stepped into tho darkened porch. ’“There’s a chance for your new umbrella, Abner,” said Mario; smiling a little. Ho answered with a look which shpwed no signs of offense. ‘ Now, Abner, wo must make ar rangements for yon to have more help. We can do it now. Yon have worked too hard. I shall never forget yonr faithfulness and you shall bo paid ns far as money is concerned. Most young men would Lave gone away and left us in such straits. ” “I don’t know who could leave you, Marie,” he said, with an earnestness which made her cheeks flush. Just then Celinda .called from the dining room : ‘ “I want to go ont, Mtrie. My um brella is broken, and so is pa’i Can’t I tak& yours?" 1 ’ “Yes, oamo the reply, aud they watched Celinda and Clara as they waded persistently through tho little puddles between the. door and gate. ' • “I think I’ll take my new one,” skid Abner, and he soon reappeared with it. As he.o^ene^it a large paper fell to. ike noor from the innfer folds and a fplded note also fell out. '-Abner read the note fizJl: V ! *' t T-' : “Jo Vbnsr Uafemi l hnln t watcnVl^yod y deed o( mv farm la Vermont.

Will yon let W;hat ii mine be yours?”. „ Marie’s answer lyns tearfully but happily, given. . “But we will-not leave father, oqd, mother at present.” “Purely not—but by and by wo can maW owr plans.” " <• When"tbe winter snows came they fell upon the graves, of-.the agedeonplc ■io whom, sickness could'come no and iu- the early spring Abner'and •Marie went, tot heir new home.

When perfectly ripe the husk splits aud a nut falls out The kernel of iho nut is tho nutmeg of commerce. It is beaten from the husk by the children, who climb the nut meg trees and trash the branches with poles.
