STABLE BEDDING.

This is an advantage In two promi-
nent ways-the benefit the stock re-
ceives from the soft, dry bed. and the
manure it makes for the smaller
fruits, such as strawberries, raspber-
ries, and black berries, including the
grape and other productions. 1t is
the vegetable manure Ia the litter that
does this. Sawdust is evidently fitted
for this, but it must be dry when used.
Leaves are, perhaps, better still.
These are already dry; SO are straw
and chat, shaVings, &c. The product
is a combination of animal and vege
table manure-what is generally need
ed. The proportion can be made
to suit requirements Straw has an
objection, as it makes long manure, F"
and requires time to rot, unless plow-
ed under. Sawdust leaves a clfatf, as
we'll as shavings, and may be used as
top-dressing at once, and as
mulch also, or. better, narrowed into
the soil As a top dressing Tor
meadows or pastures, of course there
is nothing that is better, especially if
permitted to rot first. 1t will form a
heap that is most convenient and
most profitable to take from and APP
ply to raspberries, and work into the
soil with a cultivator or harrow for
strawberries, especially the Wilson.
This requires just such treatment.
Then our grapevines-what a fine
ready heap it makes to take from for
a mulch, or to work into the soil a
little! We know good farmers who
do this. We have had taste of it
ourselves. Once fairly tested, it will
never be abandoned.-[Ne1o York

cause immediate death; after which
hang the fowl up by the legs till the
bleeding ceases; then rinse the beak
out with vinegar and water. Fowls
killed in this manner keep longer,
and do not present the unsigbtly ex-
ternal marks those do killed by the
ordinary system of wringing the neck.
When the entrails are drawn immedi-
ately after death, and the fowl stuffed,
as they do in France, with paper
shavings or short, cocoa-nut fbers to
preserve their shape, they will keep
much longer fresh. Some breeders
cram their poultry before killing to
make them appear heavy; this is a
most injudicious plan, as the undi-
gested food soon enters into fermen-
tation, and putrefaction takes place,
as is evinced by the quality of green
ish, putrid- looking fowls that are seen
in the markets. = Geyljn's Poultry

WHISKY For RATS.

A correspondent Of the Ark- nIds
Conservatives whose house was over
run with rats, says: A servant girl,
who had seen the effects of whisky on
bipeds, thought she would try an ex-
pertinent on rats. Accordingly she
took small quantity, made it very
sweet with sugar, crumbled in bread
enough for the crowd, and set the
dish in the cellar. A few hours after
wards she went down and found sew
eral rats gloriously fuddled," en-
gagged in throwing potato parings and
hauling one another up to drink
These were easily disposed Of, and
those not killed left the premises i'm
mediately, suffering from a severe
headache.

ECONOMY OF HAY.

A handful of hay is a small matter /;
one handful a day for six months
makes a pretty large bundle; twenty
quite stack; if each handful weighs
pound, the stack will equal 1850
pounds, or more than Ii tons-worth
about 1923, at $12 ton. or $50 80 to
$40 ton. How many farmers, keep
ing twenty animals, allow each to
waste handful or a pound of hay a
day for want of little attention to
the feeding arrangements? A few
straws at a time, dropped here and
there, and trampled under the feet,
will soon make a handful, and we
have seen above what the handsful
amount to. This is a small matter,
says one. but upon just such small
matters depends a mans success or
failure. One man attends to them,
and at the age of twenty or thir-
ty years has a competence for old
age; another neglects them, and is al
ways behind hand-he lives aud dies
short in the pocket and short In COM
fort. A HANDFUL Of hay is a large
matter, as shown above. Suppose an
animal in a warm stable to require
fifteen pounds of hay a day to supply
the waste and growth of the body
and keep up the heat. A small crack
to let in stream of cold air will ne
cessitate at least another pound of
hay per day to furnish the extra in
ternal heat required. Even the diff
ference between a cold and warm shed
will often increase the consumption of
hay by two or three pounds a day. A
single wind sbreak or screen of ever
green's or straw, or a tight fence, may
save two pounds a day on each animal
thus sheltered. A word to the wise
is sufficient. "-American Agricultur-

factory to determine the age by the
teeth. The sheep has eight cutting
teeth in the front of the lower jaw,
and six molar or grinding teeth in
each jaw-above and below. When
the lamb is born, il sometimes has no
cutting teeth, but it generally has
two, and before it becomes q month
old, the fui number, eight, appear in
the lower jaw. When the sheep is
sixteen months old, the two central
teeth are shed, and In time replaced
by others, whichsattain full size when
the sheep is two years old Between
the ages of two and three the next
two incisors, or cutting. teeth, are
shed, and slowly replaced by others,
which also attain their full size when
the animal is three years old. At
four years old the sheep has six full
grown cutting teeth, and at five the
front teeth are all of an equal size,
being fully developed"

HOUSE CONVENIENCEs.
Don't neglect repairs, alterations or
any improvements that may facilitate
the work of the housewife. Plenty of
dry wood is all-important, and wood
shed is requisite. Keep the pumps IN
good order, snow paths shoveled, roofs
and cutters free. Clean panes of glass
are much preferable to broken ones,
or old hats or shingles. Attention TO
trifes softens the austerities of life
and gladdens the household with good
temper and comfort.-Ib bid.
CHURNING BUTIER-THE PROPER TEN
PERATURE.
The best butter is obtained at the
lowest temperature at which the but
ter will come, and this is variously
stated at 90 to 60 degrees. This dit
ference is in the samples of milk tried
by different observers, or it may be
due to the fact that in some cases the
temperature was observed before the
churning commenced, and the tenn
perature was raised several degrees
by the churning. 1t was stated in a
recent number of the Mechanics
Ma0aziae that Mr. Rennie raised the
temperature Of water, by simply
churning it, to the boiling point.
While engaged in experimenting on
the evolution Of heat by the agitation
of water, he put ten pounds OF water
into churn which revolved at the
rate Of two hundred and thirty-two
revolutions per minute. The temper
ature of the water rose to boiling
heat, and an egg was boiled hard in 1T
in six minutes.
If the farmers throughout the
country would buy thermometers for
the purpose, and would always have
the cream at sixty to nlnety-slx de-
grees temperature when they churn it,
the average quality of our butter
would be greatly improved, and an
immense amount of labor in churning
would be saved. Thermometers
without cases are most suitable for
measuring the temperature of liquids,
as they may be easily cleaned after

BLACK KNOT IN PLUM TREES.

ID. Walsh, of Rock Island, H.,
we'll known as an entomologist, says
that all his examinations have result
ed in the conviction that the black
knot on the plum tree is the effect
of a fungus, aud is not a disease
nor a gall. He thinks the spores or
seeds are formed about the end of
July, in latitude 40 degrees and 30
minutes, and, therefore, if the ex-
cresences be all cut off and destrol ed
by the early part of July, an efectual
stop will be put to their farther
spread.

A business House ON Prom
enade street Destroyed.


Between one and two O'clock this
morning the three.storys brick business
house, at the corner Of Jefferson and
Promenade streets. owned by Elliott a
Co, and occupied by Mclean 4 Mona
CHAN, grocers and liquor dealers, was
completely Quilted by fire. A few
minutes after one o'clock, Mr.. Henry
Cooper, who was sleeping in an apart
ment in the second story ofthe building,
was awakened BY the presence Of heat
and smoke in his room, and springing
from his bed FASTENED TO the back Of the
same story to wake brother Of Mr..
Monaghan, who was also asleep in the
building at the time. Upon reaching the
apartment of the latter gentleman, he
found him also aroused. asd the two at
once proceeded TO save their trunks and
whatever furniture they could handle
On going to the stairway leading below,
they found the story under them to
be in blaze, and their retreat
in that direction entirely cut Of. They
next sought the front windows OF the
building, and from these they lowered q
portion oftheir baggage to the street, and
might have saved even more had they
not been driven off by the flames, which
had, by this time, burst into the second
story. As il was, they were obliged to
leave much behind, aud, in the hurry and
confusion, Mr.. Cooper lost his wallet,
containing Sl75 in money, besides u
number Of valuable papers, by putting on
an old pair of pants instead Of those
which be had thrown off on retiring the
night before.
About the time Of the waking Of the
gentlemen above named, officers Fentsn
and Cullen, who were passing up Front
street, also discovered dense volume of
smoke rising from the building and
promptly gave the alarm of fire. The
night being dark, with heavy fog in the
air, probably prevented an earlier detec-
ton of the flames. As it was. when the
engines reached the spot il was too late to
save any part Of the stock or building, both
of which were entirely destroyed. The
building was also occupied in the base
meut by Hum 4 Co., steamboat bakers,
but their stock at the time being small,
was all removed without injury. Messrs.
Mclean & Moneghan's loss in stock will
not fall much under 1000, upon which
they have $4,000 insurance-$5OOO in
the Phenix, of New York, and $4,000 in
the Manhattan, of New York
Messrs. Elliott q Co., the own
ers of the building, will proba'
bly, sustain "a loss of about $4,000,
upon which they have $4,000 in the
Rtna, of New York, and $4,000 in the
Manhattan. This, it will be remem-
bered, is the third FIRE which has taken
place in this isolated block within the
past three years. Out of about half a
dozen buildings which originally stood
on Promenade street, only three now
remain standing.
