A TOUGH STORY. In Jamaica, West Indies,
says lover OF the marvellous, the settlers
keep their bees in boxes, supported on stones
half foot from the ground. While visiting
an old friend there, who was great bee-rais-
er, the latter found lot of his boxes robbed
Of honey, and he with his guest kept watch
at night for the there's. They proved to be a
number of huge frogs from neighborng
stream, one OF which first attacked the hive,
and drew all the bees upon himself, when he
hoped to the river and jumped in. In the
meantime the other frogs pluDdered the hive.
Slightly fshy, We should say.

A correspondent of the Congresationalist
mentiones the case of friend of his, who,
when but child OF five years, heard the
Rev. DR.. Griffin preach. The topic was 1.-THE
Deluge.' So vivid was his description of the
appalling scene that the little fellow actually
climbed upon the seat and looked out of the
window to see the rain, and then whispered to
his mother, "Why, it's all sunshine out of
doors"-a rare compliment to the oratorical

THE FARMERS WoRKSHoP.-The far
mer's Workshop is a necessary depart
ment on every farm. Not only necessa-
nv, bat it affords an agreeable variation to
the BOYS, and IN rainy days will furnish
them profitable and pleasant occupation.
Give them a tool chest and a supply Of
tools and let them make all such things
as rakes, harrows, hand sleds, hen cOops,
mend harness, cut threads on bolts or
bars, or anything else they desire. Let
them experiment there as much as they
wish, and by and by you Will see them
bring out something useful, save many
trips to the blacksmith's, wagon makers,
and many hard earned quarters. eff Va
riety is the spice of life" it is surely need
ed on the farm, where hard and constant
labor is the rule, and recreation is the eX-
ception. IF you give them a supply of OIL
and paints, you will probably some fine
day find the plows and harrows, or may
be the old wagon, looking like new, in a
new coat, and the garden gate smiling to
the passerby, in new clean dress. By
all means, try to induce them, both by
practice and precept, to keep the work
bench neat, and the shop orderly; habits
thus formed will influence them through
life, and may lay the foundation for flu
ture success. If you cannot teach them
yourself, furnish them with book there
are many such published at such price as
will be repaid many times within a year,
besides leaving lasting investment of
good effects for lifetime.

KEEPING Fees FOR WINTER.-At
different times l have read in your paper
many ways in which farmers wives lay in
their eggs for winter use, but never saw
the way l do it, simple as it is, if have
only good eggs, and good eggs everybody
must have or they will not keep in any
way. In August l generally commence
saving eggs, and am very careful to save
only good and fresh ones. | take boxes
which hold 1900, put on the bottom a
layer of oats, and set my eggs all point
downwards, so that not one touches an
other, until the layer is full, and then
cover and set in cool dry place, where it
does not freeze, until used. | have fol-
lowed this way for the last twenty years,
and cannot say that l ever lost more than
one or two out of fifty, and then generally
found that it was knocked or put down
unsound. use small boxes, so that 1 can
use first the eggs which | put down first.
have never thought of changing my way,
although have read so many ways to do
1t, Tor instance, in ashes, in fat, in lime, in
lime water, and even vanishing them,
because my way seemed to me the sim
plest and cleanest, and | am Just as sure
to have good eggs next February and
March, which l lay in now, as I am to
have good eggs now.-A Farmers Wife,

KEEP SEEEP.-Every farmer should
keep sheep, whether wool is low or high.
They are the most profitable stock ne can
raise. They will eat and live upon what
other stock will not eat, unless forced to.
They will exterminate weeds, under with,
etc, from the farm, while other stock will
not. With proper care and management
they will double their numbers Yearly.

HIGH PRICE OF HAY.-We can re-
call several instances, says the Nea0 Eng
land Farmer, in which there was a gener-
al alarm about scarcity of fodder in hay
time, which was followed later in the sea-
son by an abundance and much lower pri-
ces but we do not remember single in
stance in which unusual high prices thus
early in the season were sustained through
out the year. These results are undoubt-
edly the effect of causes. In an apparent
scarcity of fodder, farmers save much that
would not be saved in apparent plenty ;
they reduce their stock; perhaps small
crops are more nutritive in proportion to
bulk than large ones; perhaps, too, there
is less difference than to our excited senses
there appears to be. an unfavofable spring
and summer may be followed by a favor
able fall and winter, etc. Therefore, it
would not surprise US if hay-should prove
to be more plenty later in the season than
it appears to be now nor that it should
be cheaper than in the summer.

How TO MAKE HENS LAVA cor
respondent sends US the following, which
we give without comment People would
better understand this matter, if they
considered for moment hen to be, as
she is, small steam engine, with an egg
laying attachment, and that there must
be a consent supply Of good feed and pure
water to keep the engine and It's attach
ment up to it's work. In ambition to keep
ing before hens that have complete liberty,
a constant supply of pure water, summer
and winter, | have found that during the
cool weather of fall, winter, and spring,
a dough, compounded as follows, fed one
day and then intermitted for two days, to
produce excellent results TO three gal
Ions of boiling water add one-half ounce
of common salt, teaspoonful of cayenne
pepper and four ounces Of lard. Sur the
mixture until the pepper has impaired
considerable of its strength to the water
Meantime the salt will have been dissolved
and the lard melted. Then, whilst yet
boiling hot, stir in meal made of oats
and corn, ground together in equal pro
portions, until a thick mush is formed.
Before feeding, taste to see that you have
an overdose neither Of salt or pepper, and
to prevent the hens being imposed upon
with a mixture not fit to be eaten, nor so
hot with pepper that you could not swal-
low it.-P0u5try Standard.

Agricultural Items.

How TO USE Corn FoDDER.-1f a
farmer owns but one horse and COW, he
can save money by procuring fodder-cut-
ter, and cutting up and feeding his corn
stalks. Where few stalks are kept, the
copper-strip fodder-cutter, Of small sizes
and costing ten dollars or thereabc+ts, is
sufficient. With numerous stock,
larger machine, to run by horsepower, and
costing $50 to $40, would be needed.
Provided thus, the farmer should cut up
the whole of his stalks. They contain,
when properly harvested and housed much
nutritious matter, and in our experience
we have found no difference in the appear
ance of our stock, or their productive quail
ties, fed on fodder or hay. Cut up, wet
ted, and sprinkled with meal or corn, oats,
or buckwheat, either singlv or ground to-
gether, with wheat or rye bran in equal
proportions with the grain, at the rate
of one quart to the bushel of fodder, with
handful of salt, they make feeder capa-
bic of keeping stock of all kinds in good
thriving condition throughout the winter.
The quantity needed for one feed is one
bushel of this mixture to each full grown
animal (yearlings may be counted as two,
and spring calves as three, for one full
grown. Hogs will eat the fodder read
lily, a, d poultry will pick out much of the
finer shreds. On farms where heavy and
fancy stocks are kept, of course this feed
would not be sufficiently rich; but we
refer to the generality of farms, where
stocks receive ordinarily good fac a
COW or OK that has been used to winter in
the shelter of hay or straw sack would
improve wonderfully on the fare here re-
commended; and stock that have been
used to receive hay ad libitum would
present better appearance, especially in
smoothness and mellowness of skin, if fed
on fodder thus prepared. In the present
condition Of cur farms, when We need to
increase as much as possible the amount
of live stock kept and fed through the
winter, every means of economizing fodder
is of value.-Amerjca AqricuIturiSt.
