A correspondent Of the Amerie1n
d~g'ieuitufist gives the following mode
for preventing Repes In chickens. He says
he has treated his young chickens In this
way for several years with complete sue
cess. When the chickens arc In condition
10 take from the nest, he puts them with
the hen In a coop with a board bottom, so
as 10 keep the young ones from the cold
and damp ground. TA.ey are fed with In
dian meal, on which boiling water Is
poured from the tea-kettle, well stirred,
and allowed 10 cool. The whole secret Is
to keep chickens dry and warm when
quite young, and give them cooked food.

Charles Carlisle, of Woodstock, Vt,
writes to the New York Farmers Club
that he experimental last year with ashes
on corn, to which he applied a shovelful
of rotten manure in the hill. Fifty hills
were left without the ashes a handful
being put with the on the other
part Of the field. He weighed the pro.
duct on the fifty hills unashed, and a cor
responding number of hills with the ashes.
The gain on the part ashed was estimated
to be equal to a bushel of corn for each
bushel of ashes used. He asks, ia it not
possible that the corn Is benefited by the
mixing, If we cover with the mellow soil
to receive the liberated ammonia?
To Destroy Weeds in Walks.-A most
efficient agent for the destruction Of
weeds, and n not expensive, can be
made by boiling four pounds of arsenic
and eight pounds of soda intwelve gallons
of water. To every gallon of this boiling
mixture three gallons of cold water should
be added, and the liquid carefully sprink
led wei the walks while 1t Is yet warm
It is desirable to do this in fine weather
and when the walks are dry, 80 that thu
weeds and weed seeds may have full bene
fit of the application. Care must be takel
not to let any OF the liquid fall on tn
leaves or reach the roots of any plants
is not desired to kill. In twenty-fou
hours after the poison is put on the walk
: every weed will be killed; and il 1t b
once thoroughly done, it will keep tn
; walks clean through the whole season. :
