The Income of One Minute. V A common form of the begging lette? m so sadly familiar to the rich men of ? America Is that enclosed in a small Lord Fauutleroy envelope d wo rated I with a curious network ?>r pot hooks i and hungers. The person in charge of such corrospondcitee is able to read very nearly every word of the missive with his eyes 'shut: "I am a little girl, twelve years of age, trying to do what I can for the fresh air fuiul of our town, and knowing how very, very generous you are, hut how many, many people must ask you for money, I only suggest you let us have a ht.lf of a unt your Income amounts to for one minute. Your grateful little friend, Mu* mie B." That Is the regular formula followed l?y the small glii. as the opening of the envelope proves, for the Idea of getting a minute's worth of a millionaire's income is a favorite scheme in the begging letter.

Tho broom corn crop requires rich land, freo from weeds and weed seeds, to make it very profitable. It is very diilicult to keep freo from weeds while young, as the small seeds aro slow to germinate, and do not at au early stage mako rapid growth. In this, both tho seeds and habit of growth rosembio sorghum. Broom corn used to bo largely grown on tho Mohawk Hats, and probably is yet to some e::tout, as farmers who get into tho kuuck of working it up rarely abandon the crop. To securo a profit from broom making requires nearness to sonic populous neighborhood whoro labor can bo had cheaply iu winter. There is so much competition in the business that less is luudo at it than formerly. Some seasons there is enough domand for broom corn to enablo tho grower to sell it without manufacturing, and get a good profit from it. Tho brown hurl its iuu largest kiuu, una is is inereioro tho best variety to plant, though the brooms muilo lroom green hurl generally bring a higher price, and the prico of the unmanufactured product is also higher. A farmer who has considerable help in his own family can generally manufacture brooms so as to get a better profit than ho can by selliug the crop as it is cut from the field. Tho seeds need to bo planted shallow in straight rows, in soil brought to as line a tilth as possible and after: tho surface soil has become warm.? Boston Cultivator. AID FOr. THE COWS. Tho English Government somo time ngo tQok up tho matter of tho proper supply of air to cows. It is regarded as part of tho work of tho publio health officers to inspect all barns and see either that the buildings are well ventilated or that they are large enough to permit of being shut for Komo Lours without detriment to the health of the cows. It is said that the execution of tho law has occasioned a great deal of friction in tho country districts of England. The medical officers make specifications as to how a barn shall be ventilated, or in the absence of ventilation, how many cubic foot of air may be given to each animal. Most of tho barns are found to fail far below the requirements. Tt is very likely that investigation would show the same l:.: .. t ,i a- ?; ' - tumutiuu ui uiiugs U) CX1SI 1U tlUS country, though in n less degree. In fact, Romo of our barns nro so poorly built that they need neither vontilators nor air space, since the air lias free ingress and egress through tho cracks between tho boards. To such as have tight barns tho question is pertinent. Of tho two ways mentioned, giving tho cows more breathing spaco would appear batter than to ventilate, since by the former method all draughts may bo shut oil'. When an animal is not iu tho best of condition, a draught of cold air too frequently proves the beginning of serious and sometimes fatal disorders'.? Farmers' Ho view. TREATMENT O? OAR GET. Tho cause of garget iu cows is usually excessive flow and richuess of milk, which, if tho bag is not relieved, soon causes inflammation and congestion or caking. It is always the best cow that is troubled in this way. Tho evil is made greater by fecdiug too highly of what will produco a large flow of inilk. Tho bag or udder of cows should be examined frcquoutly for several days before the cow oalves. If it seems distended it should he relieved by milking out all that can be got from the teats at least once, and, better still, twico a day. Wo have somotimes milked ten days or moro before tho cow ealved. If the milking is begun it inust bo attended to every day, as the act of milking increases V.,. miilr 41.-1 r. - I a*vj AAA a A iA i?v/ .f xiui;uiu({ IUU UU|; U1UT nil tbc milk is drawn with n salve made of garget root or poke root nud cream will do much to relievo tho pain. We havo used tho poke root for Ibis pur! pose, and have known it to bo used by others. It is a weed that grows vory luxuriantly on newly-cleared land, and its berries aro familiar to overy boy in tho country, as their red juico is often used to write with. The poke root is reputed to bo poisonous if eaten, but it is excellent to steep and lot simmer down with cream or milk as a salvo for inflamed surfaces of uuy kind.?American Dairyman. the ASPAitAaas nr.n. When tho asparagus is dono with, th oso stalks that aro left to grow should bo selected and only tho male or staminnto ones kopt. Tho worst weeds in tho bed aro tho surplus plants that grow from seed, as they aro most difficult to eradicate, and crowd tho plantation. So that as soon as the < seeds are seen to bo forming tho fc! mule plants aro to bo dug out, or at ; least cut down, eo as to prevent tho ^ Becd forming. A good method is then to cover tho ( bod with good immure, clean of wcodn i and woll rotted. It may bo covered I thrco inches deep with benefit to tho ' next year's giowth. When tho big ! stems are seen occasionally, it is Blip- | posod that theso arc of somo new and 1 improved variety. This is not tho case any more than tho fat steer is a different variety from its half-starved y brother. Tho big stems, liko tho pumpkins of tho fairs, aro mndo so by tho most liberal feeding. Tho llower earden nci;dn nillfn na mnc'i " 1 t caro as that devoted to tho vegetables, j Manuro is indispensable for tho llowers, end should bo given generously, whilo the cultivation of the soil should ^ not be spared. A largo supply of seeds ( may bo procured for a low cents, so i that tho cost of it will bo very small > if good judgment is used. I Tho seeds should be saved when ripo | for nest year's supply of tho annuals, t Tho perennials should be reproduced * by cuttings or division of tho roots, | and tho bulbs should bo taken care of, j so that alter the first year this part of t tho garden will bo self supporting. ' The porounihl bulbs ami such plants as lilies, cactuses, and others whose habits are to llower early in tho summor, and then tako a season of rest, which they naturally get in tho dry summer of their native places, should ho kept dry after flowering. If in pots these aro laid on their side in a sheltered place until September, when thoy should bo repotted in fresh soil and tho new growth encouraged. And by aud by it will be a good thing to make cuttings of tho common flowering plants to get rooted for the window garden in the winter. In this way geraniums, chrysanthemums, fuchias and roses may jbo propagated without much trouble aud without any cost. Indeed, the youug people may very easily, by enlarging the out lit, make a profitable business by sup- < piying those neighbors with plaut3 ( anil seeds who will not take the pains 1 to do it for tuemselvoi.?>\ew Tori: I Times. i rorLTitv roiNTEitt. ' It 13 very easy to improve a iloek o! i common fowls by using pure bred ' males, anil the cost of a male is eo lit- ! tie, compared with the iucrea?od gain ( iu size and prolificacy in a flock, as t well as uniformity oi' color, that thero 1 is nothing to prevent all from discarding the mongrel male. If clover is liucly choppoil, boiling water poured over it, and the moss allowed to remain over uight, until tho next morning, a strong decoction of tho clover is obtained, known as clo- j ver tea. This water off the elover is tho best of ull liquids lor mixing ground grain, especially for chicks. Tho clover may ho fed to tho fowls with benefit. It is uu excellent and agreeable change for the fowls if it is thickened with corn meal anil bran, and it may bo used for ducklings or young turkeys. It may happen that some have not hatched out tho pullets lor next year as early as they desired, and if so they should uso Leghorn males with their hens. Tho reason is that as tho Leghorn matures early, a pullet that is a cross of Leghorn and some other breed will grow rapidly, and thus gain in growth in a short time as fast as a pullet of n largo breed in a longer | time, and tho Leghorns are also excel- ' lent layers. A malo anil twelve hens, selected ' and placed apart from the other fowlp, will produce all the eggs desired for hatching on the majority of farms, and it will consequently be a saving of room and feed if all the cockoiels are sold. There are too many useless and expensive members of the lloek to allow a profit when tlio males nnd noulnviug hens are retained. Reduce expenses by getting rid of them beforo winter comes. The poultry man who uses stale eggs for nest eggs at this season of the year invites lice and low prices. The utalo eggs become broken aud 1111 the poultry house with fifth and disagreeable odor. The proper method is to use no nest eggs at all. The lions that are accustomed to laying in certain nests will always resort to them, needing no invitation; in fact, they will not change their laying places if they can avoid it. Stale eggs are suro to break and scatter their contents over tho nests sooner or later. "Ono teaspoonful solution of cnrbolic acid given in two quarts of water is au excellent provoutivo of most diseases among fowl.

Serious Complications.. / Vo'n the Star, Portstnmith, An experience that is seldom recorded nny newspaper is that of Mr. Gabriel Levy, of Olfl Crawford Street, Portsmouth, V?., who, at one timo, was a sufferer from a complicatiou of almost incurable diseases, and by the uso of a very simple remedy to-day is rendered fully capable <>f attending to Ills duties and is as strong as ever. Following is what Mr. Levy says: "Yes, it is true that not lomr since I was a sufferer I from seven different diseases, either one of which has proved fatal in many oases. I was laid up in lied for months, not able to 00 the slightest thing for myself, as many well known physicians who attended mo can attest. To-day I um well and hearty, as you can see. "I was in Columbus, On., when first attacked, and went to ihe city hospital for treatment, I felt some little improvement, but not enough to warrant me in doing manual labor. My limbs were so weak that I experienced great difficulty in getting about. 1 grew rapidly worst and at times would expo-ienoo tingling sensations through my limbs, the nature of which I cannot describe. The pains were terrible, and relief I sought in everv eoneoivahle shajMi. I tried physicians. who were eminent in their profession, without avail, and dually boginto lose hope, when Dr. Mitchell, of Columbus, Oa., advised me to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. "Having taken so much medicine without receiving any benefit 1 was lonth to take such a simple tiling its pills. However,|itfter being persuaded I resolved to givo thein a trial. Within a fow days I began to foel a littlo better. As time wont on I gradually improved, ami to-day I am as healthy and strong as any one. I attribute my complete cure to the free use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." Mr. Levy also says that ho believes if ho had not used the pills ho would never have been able to roaeh his homo In Portsmouth; that they proved a blessing to him.
