PrC serve Your Cindcrs

Concealed in the refuse of our fires this
winter, there is a treasure for the summer
time. The careful housekeeper, who has
her ashes screened through the season,
has found a cinder good to burn again, but
almost useless for what we call a hot fire.
When the undated force of the fresh an
thracite coal is required to keep the tenn
perature right in the house through the
%nipping cold they are quite useless at
such a time but let her have them stored
away in otherwise empty barrels and box
es in the cellar, and when the return of
ofsummer market the stove oppressive, and
yet the cooking must be done with a stoa-
dy fire, let her summon to the rescue the
reserved clean cinders. and for the fine
progress with the cooking, and so little heat
given to the atmosphere, she will feel amp
ly rewarded for the oversight of this often
wasted material. The writer has known
four constant fires through the winter to
furnish nearly three months fuel of this
kind in the summer.
''Oh, my, how much trouble" some
will say but such persons do not realize
the pleasure there is in feeling, l have
tailed to do the best it. A little attention
every day to apparently trifing things will
increase our our and add to useful
knowledge. Mrs. CoUNTRYCITY.

CheaD Portable Fence.

We find in an exchange the following
description of & cheap fence that may be
erected for permanence, or can be easily
moved:
"Take of a full fence, four pieces of
boards six inches wide and of the common
length, sixteen feet. 70 these put on
three cleats, one at each end and in the
middle, nailed with either hammered or
with good e~ight-penny cut nails annealed,
or at least those that will clinch good
These will make PANELS easily handled,
and when set up in the desired place, let
each alternate PANEL have cleats, face in
opposite directions. The ends of the
boards on a PANEL would butt up to the
cleat on the others; the boards in this lit
tie space are double. A pair of stakes
are then to be driven into the ground, to
top boards resting on the stakes where
they intersect; they also rest on the top
edge of the second boards from the top
In this way the stakes serve as a wise to
hold the whole together. The stakes can
stand straight enough, SO that but little
ground will be lost from cultivation.

Grass.

No people on earth ever prospered at
cultivating field. crops unless they were
provided with pasture lands. When the
work stock are not In harness they ought
to be in a grass pasture. Here they can
doctor themselves for the injury sustained
from hard work. and recruit and get strong
without consuming feed made at the cost
Of so much money and labor.
The rain and sunshine are cheap and
will make grass if the farmer will only
give it a place to grow. Farmers can't
balance their books at the close of the year
and show any fair profit if they have no
pasture where their work stock can feed
themselves when not hitched to the pillow.
1t does not matter how big a crop Of corn
and oats is raised. if it is fed away to keep
the horses and mules through the year.
there is no more profit than L nOn had
been planted. 1t is as rare a thing to see
a farmer who has made money with
oct grass land as it is to find q bird
that was caught by sprinkling salt on its
tail.-Coleman's Rural World.

POultry Keeping.

The deficiency of our own poultry sup
ply mainly arises from their want Of sys-
tematic enterprise. Many people 'tgo in
for fancy poultry, and even for ordinary
desc options, with an eye to prizes at a
poultry show. Farmers wives and daugh-
tiers have the poultry for Pin money and
hundreds of people keep fowls" utterly
ignoring the consideration that fowls
might be made to keep them. But as to
poultry keeping on a large scale, with an
ever-increasing demand, this is quite an
exceptional state of things. Fowis-uslng
the word generically-should receive at
tention like sheep or pigs, or even more,
for they are more delicate and susceptible
to diseases but many of these are pre-
ventable and the result of bad manage
ment or no management at aH.-F'ood

a very husy hen: Sam Parr is going out

Successive Crops lot Exhaustive.

IL IS curious that some people, appa-
rently intelligent, will persist in asserting
that successive crops of the same grain do
not impoyerish the soil. and even go so far
some of them, as to say it increases the
productive capacity. Now, the world,
through all time and in ali places, has de-
,cided to the contrary. Ifthere is a max
i'm established in agriculture, it is that of
~theEotation of crops, to meet this very re-
quirement of exhaustion by the same grain.
There are some exec ptions where wheat
and oats, and doubtless other grains have
been raised for many years III succession
with success. But these exceptions only
prove the fact that they are quoted to dis
prove; for the land where they are grown
is of greet depth and richness and drain
age to prevent hurt in tillage keeping the
mechanical part good. Side by side, or
binary soil would follow the orthodox rule
crops xROuld deteriorate if contin-
d in succession. If three taken from
six leaves three. then a certain amount of
matter taken fran the soil leavestha kind
Of matter that much the less, and if con-
tinued must exhaust if. What are we,
then, to expect from this very rich land
rich in the qualities to raise q particular
grain. if you please-if cropping is con-
tinued, on and on, will it not exhaust 1T?
If not, then the common facts of philoso-
ply are at fault, and the great Bacon made
! mistake whenhe laid them as a basis
Happy the man who can raise successive
crops of any grain, for he has good land.
usually good and deep. But let him not
try to encourage farmers to raise crop after
crop of wheat or oats for a long time, for
he cannot do it; they know better. No;
n rotation is good, even for rich land, to
keep it rich. If it can raise grain for
many years all the better. But do not task
it and spoil the good. A few crops in
succession will do. But if other crops
are raised equally well. raise them all that
will grow we'll, and in rotation, and d9not
trust to the false philosophy hat constant
eropping-and with oats at that-imprNes

strocities in farming as elsewhere but do
not trust them. Our land needs constant

Early Chickens.

The season of the year has now fully ar
rived wien breeders ough TO have their
stock mated and placed in their breeding
pens, and whenever a hen shows signs of
incubation, no time should be lost in plac-
ing eggs under her. The early Matched
chicken has many advantages over those
of later birth it should be borne in mind
that it is in early c~hickenhood the frame
is made that viii hereafter place in the
rank of the large birds of its breed. And
although feeding has much to do ia the
production of size and maturity, other
things being equal, the early chicken is
sure to be the best. 1t behooves bree-
ders, then, who wish to excel in this re-
spect. to produce early chickens, although
at the cost of considerably more care and
attention than is necessary in the raising
of those at a later period in the season

The Purple Beech.

Touching this variety of ornamental de-
ciduous trees, VIM. Webster writes as fol-
lows: This ia one of the most %stTikingly
beautiful lawn trees. In spring or early
summer, when the leaves are still tender
and but partially developed, the effect pro-
duced on them by the bright sunshine Is
really marvellous, and when the foliage Is
viewed under certain conditions, is beauti-
full in the extreme. If the tree is brought
in the range of vision between the specta-
tor and the sun, it will have the appear
ance of being Oh FIRE, and lit up, as 1t were
with an intensity OF color that any painter
might love to dwell on. The purple beech
is a native of Germany, and all the varle-
ties which now exist, sprang from a single
tree which was discovered by accident IN a
wood some time during the last century.
There are now many fine specimens of this
beautiful tree to be found in many parts
of the United States. Both in nurseries
and in private grounds it isso much ad-
mired, that wherever it is known In this
country. the demand has been generally
greater than the supply. There isa varie-
ty of this which is also very conspicuous
in its foliage and is much sought after. 1t
is called the copper beech on account of
the foliage being of a deep copper hue,
that continues to grow darker as the sea-
son advances, until it becomes almost
black. 1t has always been my aim to In
troduce the purple beech and its varieties
into both private and public groundsas the
opportunity presented itself, and the trees
could be obtained, as objects worthy of a
prominent place on the lawn; as it is suit
ed to almost any kind of soil that is dry,
but grows with most vigcr on clay loan.

A Comparison.


The farmer who refuses to learn from
the better practice of his neighbors, and
depends solely upon his OWE personal ex-
perience, may be compared to the little
spring bubbIng from the earth-always
the same, while the farmer of more enlarg-
ed mind who adopts the better practices
of his neighborhooo and profits by all the
improvements around him, may be liken-
ed to the noble river, which is fed by ma
ny fountains, and which bears upon its Boz
som the accumulated wealth of experience.
Weigh well the contrast presented, be-
tween the narrow-minded farmer who is
exhausting the richness of the soil which
Providence designed for his posterity, and
the progressive farmer whose labors are
adding to the products of the country.

Hints en- Milking Cows.

A man who had done his own milking
employed a boy to do it. He shrunk the
milk one third in two weeks, The own
err resumed the milking. and in two weeks
got the same as before. Afterwards he
set a hired man to milk, and he shrunk
the milk ten per cent. In two weeks more
the owner milking again. got as much
as before. This man does the work
quickly and milks very clean. He closes
the fore finger and thumb around the teat
high up, and makesa downward motion
tightening the grip and forcing out the
milk-then lets go his hold keeping the
thumb and finger in circle, carries up the
hand and presses it smartly against the
udder, and closes and pullsdown as before,
and SO repeats until done. The philoso-
ply, if N.Y.. is to give as near as may be
the motion that the calf does in sucking.
