Dry Earth as a Deodori=er for
Poultry Houses.

The employment of dry, pulyerised
earth as deodorizer for poultry -houses
appears, says the London Field, to De
worthy of more attention than it has hlth-
erto received. The fact thatfromiour humid
red 10 five hundred fowls can by tins aid
be kept in one building for months togeth'
or. with less smell than is TO be found in
any ordinary fowl-houss capable ofaccom-
modating dozen chickens. is very con-
elusive as to its efficacy In the building
of the National Company where this fact
has been ascertained seven or eight fowls
are kept in one compartment. twelve feet
by three, and yet there is no smell or
trace ofmoisture. 1t should be stated that
the droppings that fau from the perches
during the night are removed from the
runs each morning, and that the dry earth
only receives the manure that falls dur
ing the day this has its moisture absorbed
so speedily by earth that it at once becomes
pulverized. mixes with the soil. and ceases
to smell, So powerful is the deodoriz-
inc effect of the earth, that it does not re-
quire to be- renewed in the runs for many
weeks together.

grace and purity on the toughest natures.
Ia one of the worst parts of London, he
said. there was an institution he visited
In one room he found about thirty-fye
men listening TO the teachings ofthe daugh-
ter ola small shop-keeper in the neighbor-
hood. She was one ofthe prettiest women
he ever saw in his life. He noticed that
there was no one present but the young
woman with those rough men, and said
TO the superintendent, Are you not afraid
70 leave my dear little friend alone with
all Those men?" He replied, Il am. !" Then
why don't You go to her?" You mistake
nv fear. am not afraid of their doing
her any harm They love her so much
that they would lick the ground on which
she walks ;.but | am afraid some person
nlay step in, and. not being under author
ity, or knowing the manner of the place,
may Say something impairment TO her,
and if he did he would not leave the place

ACCURACY N FARM EXPERIMENTS. TN
a great variety of subjects connected with
farming, very much can be learnedby sim
pie experiments. such as farmers can try
with little expense and trouble. Questions
a. TO the depth seeds should be planted,
or the distance between plants, The time
for performing different farm operations,
the comparative WELD of different varieties,
the kind. quantity and quality of food for
animals, etc, can be settled much more
satisfactorily by experiments than by rea-
soring on general principles, or theoriz-
ing, valuable As these may be. But care
should be taken 10 have the result fully
established before accepting them finally.
A common mistake il in drawing conclus-
ions from perhaps single experiment.
when i considerable number should have
been tried.
Such experiments lose much of their
value if there he any guess work about
the. preparation OF the result. We re
member To have hal IN account sent Us
of an experiment, in which about pint
of wheat had been sown in rows about z
rod long, and the yield was little over.
&c. Had just one pint been sown in rows
exactly ouerod long, and an exact distance
from each other and the exact result as
certaiacd, some practicalya'ue would have
been attached TO the experiment.

4 Good Word for the Cat-Bird.



One rainy day, the past summer, as we
satby window looking outupon the flow
er-bed. our attention was attractedto = Cat,
bird apparently buried head and shoulders
in the soil and trying to extricate himself,
Cur first impulse was 10 run TO his rescue,
supposing him to be in danger from some
hidden enemy but we soon discovered our
mistake when we saw him gradually EN-
erge, cragging out with him, not without
some difficulty, very large grub OF the
May-beetle, which ne had detected IN the
very act OF eating the roots of our favor
tie geranium. The offender was forthwith
pounded to a Jelly, and in this condition
borne off to the birds nest hard by, where
il no doubt gladdoned the heart of one of
his nestlings.
Our good opinion of the Ca, bird Is con
firmed by the recent experience of Pres
ident Hin of Cambridge. \ favorite elm,
near his house, was attacked last summer
by a large swarm ofthe vanesSa cSterPil-
lar. They rapidly devoured its foliage,
and threatened soon TO despoil the tree Of
ats beauty One day. when Ne was about
to bring ladders and attempt their remoy-
al, aud was considering whether this was
practicable. he observed n Cat bird ilv to
the tree and begin 10 destroy the caterpil-
lars. Seeing this unexpected relief, he
deferred any interference and awaited the
result. Nor was he disappointed. In a
few days the Cat.hird entirely cleared the
tree. The writer was an eve witness toa
similar result. hut in this case the tree at
tackled by the vaneSsa worm was poplar
and the birds which cleared them out were
