Burn Up the Rubbish.

Go where we may, rubbish of all kinds
meets the eye. In the country, branches Of
trees are thrown into the fence-corners and
there allowed to lie and rot. Chips, old rails,
stumps of trees, and decaying wood in varie-
~ of forms, are found on almost every farm
They are the prolific sources of fungus in all
its multifarious forms. And fungus is becom
ing the greatest pest in American horticulture.
The cracking of the pear, rotting OF the grape,
and specks on apples, are all caused by fungus,
while rust and mildew are only different forms
of fungus growth.
In the garden and orchard, everything that
will not rot and make manure in less than a
year, should be gathered up and burnt. The
Importance of doing this promptly is not gener-
ally understood. If the branches of trees,
potato tops and woody matter of all kinds could
be charred instead of burnt, it would make ex-
cellent manure, and in many Instances this can
be done without mnch trouble. Old sods from
waste places in the garden can be obtained to
cover the heap, and they will themselves be
converted into a most useful fertilizer. Vege-
tables of all kinds delight in such manure
1t is free from weeds, acts quickly, makes the
soil light, warm and porous. A gardener, who
once uses them, will never again if possible, be
without supply.-Rural Annual.

Heea.

A correspondent writes to the Scientific
American, thst the mass of bee-keepers do not
understand that the bees are rendered perfect
-ly subservient to their masters will. They
can be rendered harmless as SO many flies. An
application Of the axiom Bees when gorged
with liquid sweets never volunteer an attack"
is all that is needed In order to handle them
with perfect immunity, even to tearing their
hive all to fragments BY piece-meal.
When the bees have plenty of stores, close
the hive 50 that no bee can escape. Rap
smartly on the hive few times. After two or
three minutes repeat the operation. In the
course of ten or fifteen minutes the bees will
have filed themselves with honey. You can
then open the hive and perform any operation
you wish without danger of being stung. Ifyou
have a bar or frame hive, remove the top quiet
ly, and sprinkle the bees with water made quite
sweet with sugar. After allowing them time
to fill themselves, you caL proceed TO remove
the frames or perform any manipulations neces-
sary. But the easiest way to manage them Is
to quietly puff little smoke into the hive,
Chat from tobacco is the best) and they are at
once rendered perfectly tame and agreeable
The easiest way is to have pipe made on
purpose to bow through, instead Of by " sue
ton" as the common smoking. By means of
this pipe, any one though not smoker, can
subject his bees to the soothing effects OF tobac-
co smoke, and deprive them oil all disposition
to sting. Combs can be removed, worms des-
troyed, artificial swarms made, surplus honey
removed, and all operations performed without
the operator having ON any :" bee hat " or other
protection to guard against their sting. Ifno
bees are injured by squeezing or otherwise, no
resentment will be shown. Do not use too
much smoke, as it will stupefy the bees. Bees
seem TO forget all about what ycu may do when
they are under the influence of smoke, ard
will manifest no anger when afterwards ap-
preached, as they wouli do if you operated up
on them without first subjecting them to this
tanning process.-gnd. Ruralisf.

Seeding to Timothy at the West.

Spring sowing Of Timothy and clover seed
Sometimes fails to catch or make "stand," as
our farmers say. A correspondent ofthe Prairie
Farmer recommends sowing after wheat. He
says:
As soon as the wheat is cut and hauled off
harrow the ground thoroughly, SOW peck of
timothy early in August, then brush lightly
The March following, sow two quarts of clover.
If the coming spring and summer should be
wet the spring sowing may succeed. But the
fall sowing would not be afraid to warrant
Another writer says:
have had considerable experience in SOW
ing timothy. and have not failed to get good
stand when sowed during February, among
wheat, or by itself on ground prepared in the
fall. put on from five to six quarts of seed
per acre, and if want clover with it, SOW a
gerry light sprinkling after the heavy freezing is
over, and it will gain on the timothy. Isowed
in this way last spring and cut heavy crop of
hay last summar from it,

To Prevent Sickness in the Army.

This short article may save the lives of a
thousand men. The valley of the James is a
malarious region. North of the tropics, the
three months in which malaria is contracted
are August, September, and October. OF all
the facts in the science of medicine, the one
best established is that Peruvian bark is pre-
ventive of malarious disease. Three years
ago, the surgeons in some of the regiments in
the Army of the Potomac administered Peru
Wan bark or its extract, quinine, to all of the
soldiers in their regiments every day during
the three sickly months, and the published sta
tistics showed a remarkable exemption from
disease in those regiments. Let every person
who has friend in the army send him dol
lars worth of quinine, with instructions to put
as much as will lie on the point of his pen -knife
in his coffee every morning, and the probabili-
ty is he will escape chronic diarrhea, fever and
ague and bilious fever.-Seientifc American.

Sc Dad Has Struck IIe.,

The correspondent of the N. Y. Post gives
an incident in connection with the oil excite
ment in Ohio. An old blacksmith bored in his
back yaid, and struck vein. He at once be-
came a man of position. He had a daughter
who had blossomed into maidenhood almost
unnoticed and unknown, but now was an object
of interest to the few young men in that COM
munfty. 1t at once became question how to
break the ice of former indifference, and TO
secure a favorable acquaintance with the heir
ess of the oil well. For while the natural
timidity of the boys kept them aloof, but at
last, one of the boldest and best-favored among
them determined to try his luck, and on Satur-
day evening, attired in his best, reso!utely
marched forward and offered to escort the lady
home. Imagine his chagrin, when she, turning
on him with a look of lofty independence,
which would have done honor to Broadway
belle, replied in a language more severe than
chaste, "Git out You don't come that
Dad has struck ile,"

Sudden Deaths Among Sheep Fed on
Turnips.

As years succeed, so does the mortality in
crease among sheep. especially about the month
Of November. Any farmer having the advant-
age of rich land, and beautiful crop of tur-
'nips, must calculate on very considerable loss
among his best sheep, when a change from au-
tumn to winter feeding is attempted. The
cause of the death is usually declared to be in
fammation, but the braxy of the hills is observ-
ed, though due to somewhat different diet in
the lowlands. The mortality is considerable
also when the hogs are nearly fit for market,
and the most superficial observation must cor
vince all that there is distinct relation be-
tween high feeding and the mortality we are
referring TO- Farmers have ready and GER
tain means of preventing to adopt. 1t is abso-
1utely necessary that they should keep their
sheep on somewhat less food, and check the
fast thriving of some by laxative remedies
There is no time for treatment when the ami
NAL is seized, but a judicious shepherd, if made
aware that it is plethroa or fulness of blood
which destroys his animals, and that by care.
full feeding, and very little medicine, this can
be prevented, could certainly protect his flock
from defamation.

An agriculturist near Brussels having sue.
ceeded in removing the bad smell and disagree.
able taste of some butter by beating or mixing
it with chloride of lime, he was encouraged by
this happy result to continue his experiments,
by trying them upon butter so rancid as to be
past use; and he has restored to butter, the
odor and taste of which was insupportabe, all
the sweetness of fresh butter. The operation
is extremely simple and practicable for all. 1t
consists of beating the butter in sufficient
quantity of water, into which had been mixed
% to 30 drops of chloride of lime, to two lbs.
OF butter. After having brought all its parts
in contact with the water, it may be left for an
hour or two; afterward withdrawn and washed
anew in fresh water. The chloride offime
used having nothing injurious in it, can safely
be increased; but having verified the expert
ment, it was found that 20 to 30 drops to %
Tbs. Of butter were sufficient.

Wsffld ann Curious.
Saving Drowning Persons.

At this season Of the year, when bathing is
the fashion, few sensible ideas in regard to
what ought to be done at angerous times, may
save many lives Persons who swim and FREE
quent the water, ought to have some good plan
of procedure impressed on their minds, SO that
in case of accident it might be Of service. A
recent treatise on the art Of swimming says OF
the rescue of drowning persons:
If you have any distance to swim, the
wisest plan is to undress, which can be done in
few seconds. You have then more freedom
of limb, and can rush through the water with
speed and alacrity. And if the drowning person
should succeed in clutching you, your chances
of freeing yourself, being naked, are innumer-
able, compared with what they would have
been had you been hampered with your wet
clothing. When you approach the drowning,
watch diligently for an opportunity, and seize
him BY the back Of the arm below the shoul-
der. You will, in this position, be enabled to
keep him at arms length before you, and ex-
ercise the most perfect control over his and
your own movements. His face being from
you, the temptation to grapple with YOU is re-
moved, and you have more facility to mike to
the shore or most convenient place Of landing.
Never attempt to seize drowning person by
the hair of the head. There is great danger
to be apprehended in so doing, for, as the arms
are at liberty, you are liable TO be caught in q
death grip at any moment

How to Destroy Gonhers

]. Hodgson of Linn county informs us that
he has sure and easy method of destroying
gophers. He sinks small steel rat traps into
their holes, digging down into the mounds
which they throw up, from fifteen to eighteen
inches, covering the trap very loosely with
earth and tieiHg it to stake. He has frequent.
ly caught several Of the little varmints at the
ssme hole within thirty minutes. He catches
them in the daytime and at all times of the
year. They were very numerous in iii. when
he first opened farm there, destroying young
trees and all vegetation. He cleared them ali
Oh his farm in one year with two traps. Co.
pher traps became SO popular in that region
that at Pekin, Tazewell County, ILL.,, he has
known as many as one hundred to be sold in
enc day.-Kansas Farmer.
