Thi two topics represent and pressing
importance on the farm -? "having" and
' th bus." Ths first is cumin;; right
along, and wo know that before this meets
t'.io eye of the reader, a large part of the
hay on some farms will be homed in the
barn.
Willi somn dairy faimerj of our :u
q viir.tanco wuo believe in early cut hay,
d -spit" the assertions of some analysts
that l ite cut i jmt as ;ooil, the cutting
of tho " new stock " was well under way
on 'ho 20th of June. We think It will do
now to hurry it right along. But " Tin;
lll'RS."
The old beetles, in oaiuber far exceed
ing what we have ever had before, have
Ihs.ii here, laid their eggs in myriads or.
tho leaves of potatoes, barn griss anil
even tomatoes, and have mainly disappear
ed. These eggs are now hatching, and
the nasty, slimy slugs are eonimeneinj;
their work of destruction. It seems to us
a settled fact that hand picking is ineffect
ual to protect, and Paris green seem to
be the main hopa for tho crop. 1'aris
Kieen is a subtle, deadly poison, owing to
the presenco of arsenic, which enters
largely into Us composition, and like other
metallic poisons, most deadly. Of course
all stock must be kept from fields on which
it is applied, and we prefer its application
in water. The best way we have found is
to muko thin flour starch in necessary
quantity, strain it to have uo lumps, and
add to each pail of water in which the
green is used two or three quarts of thi.
thin starch. There are lots of patent
traps for applying the fluid, but a common
watering pot is as good as any of them
though the sprinkler should be smaller
than the one commonly used Iu the garden,
and the holes finer. If tho hole3 are
larger the work will be done more rapidly,
and tho waste of die green will bo greater.
We Iirvo Used in applying liq'ii 1 oisons a
pail and a smnll broom, which is dipped
in tho water and then shaken on tho plants,
which wo find to be the most economical
mode of application. The addition of the
March will bold tho solution on the leaf
uioro perfeotly, as it fornn a coating on
the lraf in drying, and which will take
quite a shower to wash oil'.
Try the starch and the brush broom, and
d in'i buy patent traps thinking them to
be nececsary unless you want to.

At one of the agricultural meetings last
winter we had a little pleasant bidinago
with Mr Byron 0. Ungues of Il irtlaml
concerning the amount of corn whichwould
bo destroyed in cultivating, he making the
assertion (if wo remember rightly) that
no C0.1W cuiuv.uo ins corn driving Ins own
hav at. and not dtntroy a single hill the
whole season. We expressed somo doubt
on tho p am, but Mr. Haggles has the best
of the controversy, as tha following note
will show:
'.MY JJK.A.H bill: I bavo cultivated
two acres of corn over six times this sea
son, at the rate of eight acres per day, and
mv oiii con nas not yet destroyed a single
hill.'
Which shows that there is a difference
in borsos us well as in lie men who handle
them.
A. W. Choever, Esq., the editor of the
.uw cugianu rarmer, in reply to a cor
respondent asking information concerning
a farmer's liability for stock breaking into
his held and eating potato tops with Paris
green sauce, gives the following in reply:
This question of liability for damage
caused by the poisoning of cattle which
break into your potato held, is, however,
as it seems to us, by no means an intricate
one. It is a fundamental principle in law
that the owner of animals must both pro
tect and restrain them. When you be
come the owner of an animal you are ex
pected to shelter and feed that animal at
your own expense, and not at the expense
of your neighbor. So when you build a
still, shed, burn or fenco It is for the
pnrpuse of keeping your own cattle in a
safe and comfortab'e placo, and not for
keeping your neighbor s catile away. Ii
is his business to do that, provided bo has
any cattle to keep. If he lias nooiit.lt)
he should cerlninly not b'f taxed for
fencing in or providing iu any way for
jours.
If you choose to use your land for grow
ing potatoes, while your neighbor uses his
for pasturing animals, your duty to him or
the public does not require you to keep
watch over his cattle. That is his busi
ness. In the present state of public
opinion potato bugs have no rights which
potato growers are bound to respect, fur
ther than ttiis, that all Hnimal life has a
claim upon man ilat when for the protec
tion of himself it becomes necessary to
take -that life, it shall not be done in a
needlessly cruel or inhuman manner. Ti.
caich insects and then torture them by
burning in a slow fire is barbarous, he
cause it causes needless suffering to tin
inspeti, to say nothing of ihe moral effect
upon yourself, your chihiren or oiher
who may witness tho torture. Still you
have a right to destroy the bugs, and lo do
it in tl) 1 cheapest anil quickest way Ii
you tan poison them by sprinkling the
viti"8 with Paris green cheaper or more
eiei-lual)y lhan by pinching Ihem singly
be' wren llie thumb and lingers, you have
a perfect right to do so, provided jou us
d"H carp that no person or animal is
poisoned in consequence.

ABOUT NOXIOUS INSECTS.
We come now to another subdivision of I
insects which includes bugs, locusts, plant
nee, ei cuera. 1 hese nave a norny beak
for suction and four wines, thick at the
base with thinner extremities that lie fl it
and cross each other on the top of the
back. The transformation of this class is
only partial. Many of these bugs give out
a disagreeable odor. They live on animal
juices, and are instrumental in destroying
other noxious insects. Some are of use in
the arts, but after all, the good they do it
nothing in comparison with the injuries
lone by (be domestic kinds, an 1 by plant
hugs, locusts, tree-hopKrs. plant lice bark
'ice and mealy hues which consume the
juices of plants and require the utmost ener
gy to Keep tnem in clieek. ine lourin divi
sion includes thedragen tly.ant lion, day tly.
white ant and other siecies. These have
jaws nnd four netted wings but are desti
tuto of stings. Their transformation is, in
some cases, complete. The noxious in
sects in this order are the while ante, wood
lice and wood ticks which includes the
omnious death walch. Hut even these do
not injure living plants. The dragon fly
preys upon gnats and mosquitoes for
which service we are very grateful. Ant
lorn and scorpion flies indulge in preda
oeous habits. I.ace-ninged fl eslive entire
ly on plant lice, and do good service by
destroying them.
Next in order comes the butterflies and
mollis. They take their food by suction
and have four scaly wings. Their trans
formation is complete in this form, they
have from four to ten fleshy legs. Soibe
domestic pests, in the form of caterpillars
devour cloth, wool, furs, feathers, wax,
lard, flour and the like; but generally this
species live on vegetable food. Some eat
leaves exclusively while others seek tile
buds, fruit seed, bark, pith, stems and
roots of plants.
Saw flies, ants, wasps, bees and their
kin embrace I be sixth general division of
insects. These are araied with j iws, and
have four veined wings and a sting at the
extremity of the abdomen. This class
also undergo a complete transformation.
In Ihe adult state these insects live chiefly
on honey, the pollen of flowers nnd the
ja'ces of fruits. But in the larva) stale
several of them are leaf eaters and effect
much injury to plants. The larva of
one class are borers and wood eaters and
ire very destructive to pines and lira.
They puncture the leaves and stems of
plants nnd oak apples, and nut galls are
the result. Hence we are indebted lo these
insects for gall nuts which are extensively
ued in coloring and in medicine and form
the chief ingredient in ink. On the score
of debt and credit, therefore, we must
class these insecls among our lenefaetoi'S.
ine li'Dneumon fly, in the larvie stale, is
a mortal enemy to caterpillars and other
noxious insecls, as ihey live upon the fat
of their victims and finally desiroy them.
S ime five different classes of wasps are
predaceous in their habits and supply iheir
young Willi other insects for their food.
And we should always keen an ooen
book account in double entry with ihe
mis whoso lood consists of animal and
vegetable juices. They are very fond of
sweets uud hence are very annoying to
housekeepers, yet they destroy so
nany other insects which trespass upon
ur rights that thev should be forgiven for
the harm they do.
r.ven wasps and hornets feed to their
young the tender par.s of noxious insecis
nl tlius compensate tor the trouble thev
give us .when we come near their local
labitition. Tho solitary and social bee
lives wholly on honey and the pollen of
flowers and feed their young on the same
material mixed and adapted to. iheir use.
liecs do no harm, but much good in their
way.

KOOT CHOI'S.
I am convinced that root crops receive
far less attention than they should. I have
always found they wcro a profitable crop
io icon io caives anil sneep, and nave seen
iheir good effects on other farms when fed
to cows. I would sny to every farmer
who has not been in the habit of raising
root crops for his stock try a piece of
uiuuiiii iu umiips tins vear, ana nexi
winter feed them to his slock, and it is
probable he will ever after continue to
raise Ihem, or some oilier variety of roots,
for winter feeding.
YIELD Of CHOI'S.
Every farmer needs to study, and study
hard. When we consider what i9 the
present yield of our crops, and that they
may, by proper selection of seed and skill.
f.d cultivation, bo doubled, is it not a little
strange that so few farmers give their at
tention to the matter, and labor both wiih
brain and muscle to accomplish this re
sult? We, as farmers, must cultivate our
land better Work only as many acres as
we can make rich with manure, and take
special pains in ihe tilling of it. Th soil
can not be mellowed too much. The basis
of good .iarming is cood olowinar. for if
me uocs not plow well he need not exoeet
good crops, no matter how much manure
is applied. And after the eroutid is dIowhiI.
the harrow should bo used twice as much
as many use it. I have seen some men when
lilting ground for corn or grain harrow ii
but once, and then leave a stiio untouched
by the harrow, nearly each time that they
crossed tho field. Goo I cultivation will
make up in part for a light dressing of
manure.

by being cured or dried too little. Talk
with all the men keeping horses in the

will tell you that hay cut in the morning,
thoroughly dried by being twice thrown
into the heated air of a Julv hay day,
with the thermometer at eightv-tive de
grees, by means of a tedder, and hauled
into the barn at 4 o'elock in the after

cows will yield more milk upon it than
upon double the qnantity of late cut hay.
or of hay from which the life has all been
burned out. . Scientists may talk all they
will about the slight difference in the value
of analysis between early and late cut
hay, the invariable answer from practical
men everywhere, who are feeding out hay
constantly and watching its results, to the
question, ' What is the best hay for
horses, for milch cows " is, Fine, early
cut hay for cows; good, early cnt timothy
for horses, no wl, ile-weed. hauled in the
same day it was cut." We have had this
answer repeatedly from hundreds of prac
tical feeders of whom we have asked the
question. One says good sun is sufficient
for hav of ordinary quality; if ihe grass
contain a great ileal of clover, oock up in
ihe afternoon of the first day, cover with
a bay cap and haul la the second day.

Hay. Recent Invostlgtions threaten to
upset some popular notions. It bus long
been supimsed that early cut hay is more
valuable lhan that cut later. If tho jmlg
ment of the cows were a test, there would
be no question about it. They will leave
the riper hay, and even refuse to eat it at
all if they can procure that which has been
cut earlier. Id the writer's dairy, the
milk falls off more than ten per cent when
tho young bay is changed for that cut two
weeks later, ilns is sufficient to support
the general opinion in spite of chemical
analysis, which goes to show that ripe hay
U heavier, more bulky, and contains more
nutritious substance, than that cut earlier.
Prehaps the operations of the chemist can
extract more nutriment from ripe hay
than can the cow's stomach ; but as young
hay feeds more profitably, it seems best
to cut early. American Agriculturist.

Improvement op Meki.no Sheep.
There is probably no kind of farm st;k
in which so great improvements have
been mado in the last forty years.
Many have the imuression that the
Merino, as imported from Spain during
wb mat iweive years oi me present cen
tury, was an animal that combined a great
variety of excellencies, and could compare
favorably with specimens of the breed as
improved by the skill ef the best breeders
of the la-t fifty years; such, however, is
very far from the truth. It is certain
that the very best Merino imported from
Spain fell far short of combining the
many exoelient qualities that are possess
ed by the average Merino sheep; that
while possessing the blood of liis imported
ancestors, has been so greatly improved
by the skill of prominent breeders of this,
most valuable of all breeds of sheep.
There is probably no valuable poiut in
these sheep that has not been reached by
the breeder in theso improvements; we
speak now of tho best specimens we now
have where the skill of our breeders lias
been exercised with judgment lo keep the
improvements well balanced, and not to
attain one good qtulity at the expense oi
some other and equally important, some
times more valuable characteristic. This
disposition of many breeders to improve
some one point, losing sight of other ex
cellent ones, has greatly hindered, per
haps, the general improvement of the
mass of Merino sheen, although breeders
of judgment ana skill have undoubtedly
taken advantage of the great imorove-
ments reached by these fmurovers in some
single line, nnd by uniting those various
excellencies have been able to produce
some very excellent and valuable sheep,
and by continued exercise of the same
skill and judgment have been able to
permanently nx and harmonize thesi
several improvements, and make it nossi
ble to perpetuate them with uniformity.
oiii ine ureeuers are very scarce tnat have
been able to show an improvement thr ugh
a large number ot generations, where
confining themselves to the family thev
first adopted, and especially where thev
confined themselves slrictly to their own
uuun, wiiuuut inirouuc nz occasionally
blood from some olher.
In order to show more fully the great
improvement that has been made in this
race or breed of sheep, wo propose to
huuiisii a series oi articles from time to
lime, illustrated with engravings that will
show many of the improvements that
nave oeen niaao, while faots and figures
we shall civo will more full nrn ti,

It is well known that we cannot secan

we add to this general proposition th.

The Kitchen Wood Box. Onco upon
a time I delivered a familiar lecture to the
people in my own kitchen whom it might
concern, the upshot of winch was as ful
lows (with some alteration of names'! :
want you, Polly, to empty this wood-box
to-day and sweep it out clean, sweeping
ami fcruuoing wnere it lias stood, when
yon clean the floor. I have heard of such
wood-boxes before, but I never saw ono in
such a condition until now, and it must
not Happen again. Alary told me the
older day about Mrs. Brown's kitchen
wood-box. She said, "O mamma! you
ougnt to see their wood-box. They don't
keep wood in it; they keep dirty old rags
in u, j.ou nanny ever see any wixxl
mere, uut n, is an inn and paper and rag
for about a foot deep. Yon can't think
bow it smells!'' I should think so. I have
oeen in ine Kitchen so little for two
months past that I have not noticed otn
box, and now I see that there is an accu
mulation of several inches of rubbish.
supposed it was nearly all bark and
splinters, but when I began .shovelin" it
out into tbe fire, I found old paper and
even one or two old rags, and was con
vinced that dirt had sometimes been
nrown m tint should hive gone out of
doors. Aow let me tell vou all plainly
lhat tho wood-box is the place for wood
only. Torn papers to be used for kindling
must lie put somewhere else. Get a strong
paper llour sack and hang it handy, and
keep the torn papers in that. You tu.-iy
as Midi burn tho coarsest brown paper
wrappings nt once, as they are not good
for kindling (ires, and are not needed here
for any other purpose. Diny rags, if not
worth washing (for the rag bag if for
nothing better), should be burned as soon
as possible. All useless mailer must be
washed or burned wiihout delay. Ami
now remember, children, you must never
hake tho crumbs from your bibs or nap
kins over this box. nor toss an miule core
or peeling into it. Now, Polly, I waut you
luumpiy i no oox once a weoK, on your
scrubbing day, and then we can always
see die boltom and know just what is in
it. The pure air of the room und the good
health of the family dciiend unon this
among other things."
thus ended the first lesson, and Ihe

A New Product from Beets. Tho
wonders of nature are amazing, and we
nave to th ink chemistry for presenting to
us the extraordinary disclosures uiailo
uirougn constant experimenting in the
1 moratory. I be common sugar beet.
erewniie a mere lood tor cattle, was with
in the memory of somo Del-sons vet livinir
discovered to contain a pure, crystalliz ibFe
sugar. Alter many year's labor n success
lul process was invented io utilize this
discovery, and now not far from one thou.
sand million tons of beet sugar are made
annually in Europe, with vast, indeed
incalculable profit lo agriculture. Bui
g.u is not iuo oniy product oi tins
noinoly root. A great quantity of mo
lasses is produced from the refuse of the
ugar raanuiactiire; a large quantity ol
spirits is distilled from the refuse of mo
lasses; irom the refuse of this last Ktnsli
is made, and used as a fertilizer. Now n
more wonderful discovery than all these
lias come to light. From the refuse of ihe
distilhttion of alcohol there is now produc
ed a combustible gas which can he nun
dented into a volatile liquid known as
chloride of methyl. This ohloride of methyl
has been used in the preparation of some
of the brilliant aniline colors, but it has
been now found to bo a valuable refriger
ating agent. By rapidly evaooratimr it..
temperature of more than sixty degrees,
below zero can be produced ami nmini,.in
ed, and murcury can be reduced to solid
melal by this means. But the grand value
of the discovery will be in tho use of this
product oi. lite modest beetroot in the
manufacture of ice. What vast possibili
ties may exist in a simple root! and what
boundless wonders are .enfolded in the
commonest products of nature! Surelv
there can bo no more ennobling study for
the mind, or work for the hands of man
man mat wnicn m-ings to bis view the
exquisite works of nature, or opens to his
intelligence llie airy World, of which lie
may obtain a glime, at least, now and
then. Rural New Yorker.
The Oardener's Monthly gives a most
useiui umi iu tegaru io pruuing evergreen
hedges, remarking that die only way to
liiui them so that the foliage will keep
g een from bottom to top is to trim each
slopingly from base to apex. In trimming
the lop of a hedge flat and the sides up"
right, the sun is kept from the foliage at
the base of the plant' nnd the lower
branches will become- bare of folince and
dead. But trimmed in the manner indi
cated the sides will present a uniformly
green, thick, healthy appearance. This
method applies to hedges, of Norway
spruce, hemlock, arbor viias, and, in short,
all evergreens. The square and upright
method has long ago been dtu,ie,iLi t...
all who have tried the fprrn recommended.
Applying Manures. " Do you mean
-o say that the manure which Is lying in
ny yard since last summer, has lost nearly
ill which was good for anything in it? '
isked tbe old gentleman.
"I should say it had lost all it ever had."
remarked Mr. Martin ; "I saw it yesterday
ilh a foot of water over part of it, and a
4 ream of water soaking from it down thi
till into the road."
" Yes ; the wind tore the spouts off the
Mm. and we have bees too busy to pm
.hem up again."
"Well, all that water has probably wash
id onl of your manure the whole of tin
wluble organic and mineral matter, leav
ng it destitute of any Immediately avail
title fertilizing properties;" remarket
Or. Jones.
" Made it good for nothing, or next to
hat," Said Mr. Martin.
If yon had used that manure a veai
tgo when it was fresh vou would bav
aved every portion ol it,'' s lid I ; " am
his puts the case very well ; for the fresh
nanure which I am now hauling out from
he cellar and plowing under for corn, is
afe and cannot loose a particle of its Valm
tnyhow, even should the corn not get th,
ho!e benefit this year; while if I hai
iept it as you did yours, for a year, 1
light have lost nine-tenths of its value n
tbe worst, and two thirds of it at the best :
ind if I kept it only three month, it would
iill lose very considerably. In using fresh
manure we get ilia whole of its value Ii
he end, wiihout doubt; but in keeping h
ver, we lose a port ion and get tho rest in
t more quickly available condition."
' Then you think it best to use the
manure as soon as it is made," said Mr.
.Uartin,
" It depends upon circumstances. I
would not like to say that positively. 1
diink it best for me and for any other
dairyman. Some time ago I was at a
large dairy farm in Westchester county,
.V. Y . where 200 cows were kept, ami
wagon was kept in ihe cellar under the
trap to receive the manure from the gutter
as it was raked out every day, and as soon
is it was loaded, it was drawn awav lo
the field and spread either up n the grass
or upon plowed ground and harrowed in
for fodder corn. There was noihing lo-l
here, certainly; all that was in tin
manure was put to use at once. But n
practice, however good, cannot always bi
used in all cases; nnd some farmers mu-l
to the best they can, although they lose
something by it.-"
Just as I did," replied the old gentle-man.
Gapes in Chicks List summer I had
two hens come off at the same lime; they
were grade Brahmas and good mothers";
each had sixteen chickens, and I resolved
to raise the chickens If care would do it.
I had a box of Lang's .grape remedy, and
used it according to directions. We cooped
Ihem away from ihe other chickens. One
of the Ctwps was moved every few d.ivs.
i'hey stood on the edge of a partiallv
shaded grass plat, and joining one freshly
plowed. They wero fed every morning
with hot mush made of corn nnd oats
ground together. The rest of the time
they had curd, bread and scraps. They
ts l all tl e sour mi k they could drii.k,
ami access to fresh water at all times
i hey were never allowed to get wet or be
out in a storm, luey were so tame thev
could bo handled at any time, and I never
could discover a trace of vermin on them.
And yet, after growing as fast us chickens
could till ne.rly fattened, they commenced
io gape and die in spile of "me. One of
the bens gave up In disgust, and weaned
ner ctucKens, just, at the commencement
of a rain, and in spite of all I could do
before it cleared off. the last one died
1'lie other one said, as plainly as actions
could sny, that she was going to do nil
that a hen could do lo help mo raise these
chickens. Ami she did; she ran wilb
them nnd took care of them till ihey were
nig enougn to nroii, and with my besi
help she raised three. No, I don't know
what to do for gapes. I wish I did.

Does Poulthy Pay? It is often asked
"Does Poultry Pay?" nnd as often
answered through the columns of the
leading agricultural journals, and we
orten hear ihe question asked, What
Breed Shall wo Keep?" and as their
name has got to be legion, I should say
lhat any breed pays that is well taken
care of. I find tlie Black Poland lo he
very good layers and strictly non-setters ;
I ll avo kept them for about a year, and
have yet to learn the first instance where
one has so much as clucked. I would
advise no ono lo keep more lhan twenty
of any bleed together, and that those la
kept in comfortable quarters with plentv
of light and air. Wiih mv hens I have
not kept debt or credit, but I have foriv
six ducks which have laid since March
20th, up to this date, two hundred and
sixty-live dozen, and are still laying well;
I am feeding them six quarts of corn a
day; Ihey bavo access to ibo salt water.
I'he ducks I speak of are ihe common
duck crossed wiih tbe Pekin; it is the
opinion of the writer that ducks in a
proper locality mighl be made to pay as
well if not better than hens. Corrcsvond-

Reclaimed Swamps. Some time last
year, 1 told lhu readers of the American
Agriculturist something of Mr. Augustus
Siorrs' reclaimed swamp in North Mans
field. I have been there again, and in-
lead of the bogs and tussocks, and roots.
and heterogeneous tanglo v hieh the plows
nad rnipen and rumpled, and Ine barrows
Had twisted and torn, there was a smooth
beauliful field neatly plowed, harrowed
level and smooth, part of it seeded down
with oats, nnd tlie put which was worst
last year, nearly ready tor a second corn
crop. It seems almost miraculous. There
were in places last year strips of sod cut
by the plow, and turned over, which were
tenacious enough to have held together,
if a team had been hitched to one end of
thirty or forty feet, and I presumo might
thus have been hauled off the field. Now,
that sod is nearly gone; in most places the
ground is friable and mellow, a few clods
and roots remain, and there wero a good
many sticks and stems of long buried lim
ber which tbe plows turned up. These,
with the stones on that part next to the
upland, were being picked ff, and a new
Irain. to cut oil the springs at tbe loot of
a stony slope, bad been dug, and was be
ing stoned up anil partly tilled with the
line stunes off llie meadow. A big wall
h is been built along this slope, lo get rid
l Ine stones; It is about five feet high.
and from six to nine fool wide. A wall-
laver employed on the farm, builds from
seven lo nine rods of a single wall three
and one-half feet bigh in a day, assisted

Good Bkead. As I was ono day din
ing with a friend, I said to. him, "Your
wife makes goed bread." ' I shouldn't
have kept ber if she didn't," was the ready
response. Now it would have been mosi
too had lo dismiss one who had already
become his wife for no other fault than thai
she failed to. make good bread. And yet
it must be confessed that it is a serious
fault; and every young man in pursuit of
a wife wouid do well to make a requisite
tiiat she shall lie skilled in the art of
making bread. Three limes a day during
all his married life will be wanton his
table this " ttaff of life." And it is an es
sential ihing that this indisepensable arti
cle of cookery bo well made. The pies
and cakes are a secondary consideration.
These may lie dispensed with, but not the
" daily bread." Every mother owes it to
her daughters that she will instruot them
in thu department of household duties.
Bolter that Ihey know less of music and
French and dress and fashion than bo defi
cient here. If a man bas a wile that
daily furnishes his table with bread well
made and well baked, so let him be thank
ful. If such a man be morose and fault
finding, I will not say that he deserves
bis bread to be dough, for no man deserves
that, but I will aiythat be deserves Do
bread at all. Pork and potatoes and beans,
without any bread at all, aro good enough
for him. Retort and Jrarmer, j
A Kansas Woman's Fabm. Mr.
Hoadley showed us veatenlav some hea-ll
of wheat, a sample of forty-fife acres, now
growing on me lurrn or Mrs. Alary
Macutchen, situated about Are miles from
his oily. It proiuivi to yield twenty
bushels to tbe acre. This Mrs Macutchen
is a somewhat remarkable woman. She
was left a widow with four children more
man tea years ago. In 1874. when half
ne people were scared out of their wits by
he grasshoppers, she contracted for an
inhuproved farm for $1800, which she
r ive to one of her boys. She has since
piid for the land from the surplus products
f her own firm of oue hundred and
wentv acres. Last year she bought the
IJob Allen farm of one hundred and fifty
u res, at the price of $2500. one-fourth ol
vhich she h.w already paid, and will pax
ver tbe other fourth from the crops ol
his year. She runs her farm with the
id of her two sons, and without much
ilred help. This is a good example ot

Health ok Houses The hoalth apd
oiufort of horses havo of late years been
ireally improved by die better constrno
ion of stables. They are made more
ooniy and lofty, nnd provided with mean
if thorough ventilation. In many new
tailes lofis are done away with, or the
l'Kirof the loft is kept well above the
lorses' heads, and ample shafts are intro
duce: to convey away foul air. - By per-
loiaieu oi-icks and gratings under the man
'ers, and i;Ue where round the walls, anil
inly by windows and ventilators, abund
ince of pure air is secured for the horses:
while being introduced in nioderali
imoiini, and from various directions, i
oinos in without draught. Too much
draught is almost an unknown stable lux
ury. To secure a constant supply of pun
ii''. horses require more cubic space thai
they generally enjoy. Even when animals
iro stabled only at night, a minimum ol
one thousand two hundred cubic f e'
should be allowed. In Kngland ihe no
,-avalry barracks givo a minimum of on
housand five hundred cubic feet, will) n
ground area of fully ninety square fee

ruige horse stables havo more room.
Most bee-keepers have come to regard
me movable-comb hive as quite indisuen
sable to the suecesful mana;enient of an
ipiary, the Langstroih principle being th.
one generally adopted. I his consists ol

Seaming. Children should not learn to
seam on selvages, as thev are Seldom even
and they gel a habit of taking iheir stitches
loo deep, and so making a coarse, thic
ridge. 1 hey should also be taught thai
seaming is not brushed undl it ho lab
open and flattened down. An old tooth
brush handle is very good for the purpose
w. it .ittjinii, iwi it lines not ami mo seam,

used Ior this purpose.
ivitiun cerain limits, bees are trust.
worthy weather prophets, and can be re
lied upon, since they have been in the
business considerably longer than Old
Probabilities. When thev are disinclined
to leave the hive even though the sun
-nines, rain may shortly be expected
When they return in large numbers dur
ing the day, a storm is at hand. It they

iee incsuii appear H orn Dcbind the clouds.
A farmer '.has experimented with ma
