CURING CLOVER HAY WITH STRAw.-A
correspondent gives his mode of curing
clover hay through the Journal Of The
Farm:
am now feeding clover hay put into
the NOW last summer abont one half cured.
About one. foot thick of clover spread
evenly over the NOW, then the same amount
of straw, again clover alternating with
straw. Putting several loads in this man.
ner, it comes out nearly as green as fresh
cut grass or clover, perfectly free from dust
or smoke. All stock eat it with great
avidity, mich cows doing splendidly upon
it, eating the straw nearly as well as the
clover. l think juices of the clover are to
certain extent absorbed by the straw,
making the straw nearly as good as the
clover, and preserving its color and sweet
ness.

TO KILL yERM1N ON POULTRY.

The following suggestions as to the use
of sulphur to kill vermin in nests will be
found valuable to those who keep poultry:
"Now that the season has arrived for
raising chickens, it is wellrto know that
the powdered sulphur of the druggists is
the cheapest, handiest, and best thing yet
discovered for killing parasites that infest
sitting hens, and find their way to fresh
pastures upon the chickens as soon as the
latter are Matched. Many times people
complain that when their chickens are a
week OF two old they dreop and die from
the attacks of large lice, which literally
cover the heads of the birds. If examina-
tion is made earlier it will be found that
the insects have taken up their abode upon
the chickens heads while still in the nest,
for they forsake the hen, preferring the
chickens. 1t is bad business to have to
catch the chickens and hen for treatment
after they have left the nest, when the rem
edy can be applied with as little trouble
before Matching begins. A week or so
after the hen has been given her clutch of
eggs sprinkle them and the whole of the
nest and the straw for little distance
around it with the sulphur when the hen
is off. The night following attend to the
hen herself, by lantern light. Disturb her
just enough to make her bristle her feath-
ers, and then dust sulphur we'll down to
their roots. Go over her whole body thor
oughly, excepting the parts in contact with
the nest, and lift each wing and scatter
pinch, and attend to head, neck, and tail.
1t will not injure the hen in the least, nor
the chickens when they are Matched. We
repeat the operation at an interval of a
week, though perhaps one application is
sufficient, and have never found the slight
est trace of vermin upon hen or chicks
afterward. Use two small handfuls. 1t
costs little either in money or trouble
Tobacco, snuff, grease, carbolic powder,
&C., are not to be compared with sulphur
for this particular purpose, and the best
dust-bath privileges for the hen are not to
be relied upon alone"

To WmTEN STRAW HATs.-Scrape stick
sulphur with a knife, mix the powder to a
mush with water, plaster it thickly over
the straw, and place in hot water several
hours; brush off when dry. This is an
easy and eflectual plan.

THE BEST CHERRIEs.-The American
Psychological Society at one Of its late
Congresses pronounced in favor Of the
Early Richmond and Goes Transparent as
the two best cherries for general cultivation,
Doubtless the society decided wisely in this;
nevertheless there are others we prefer for
this region. The crops of Elton for several
years have been all that could have been
desired, and would be satisfactory if we
got such crop once in two years. If we
were to choose between the Kentish and
Early Richmond, we would take the former,
on account of the certainty of the crop and
the ease of raising the trees. But where
is there such cherry as the black Eagle in
quality, always excepting the Governor
Wood, which is too uncertain to cultivate
for even private use? With us it has
borne early and good crops annually
sometimes abundantly, and always perfect
fruit. With us also the Black Tartarian
has done equally well, though it natures
about one week later and tits not quite
equal to it in quality. There is the Down
ton, too, much like the Elton, but not quite
up to it. Coos Transparent is an excel
lent fruit and generally productive, and
should be found on every place.

SMALL FARMS.

"Pautuxent Planter" writes to the
Maryland Farmer
1t is surprising that so large a class of
our working farmers prefer renting farms
by the year, subjecting themselves to the
loss and inconvenience of moving ("three
moves equalling one fire,'') every year OF
so, to purchasing small farm. | know a
man who had $4,000, and bought 100 acres
of land, 10 acres in wood and low ground,
and Is he enclosed for pasture, the rest
was in one field. He paid 1000 cash, and
spent the other $1,000 in building COM
Portable log house, and fitting up the
tobacco house on the place for his horses,
&C., at the same time for curing his crop
of tobacco and housing his corn. The
farm cost $4,000; terms one and two years.
He paid for it in that time; he had one son
and two industrious daughters, and hired
4 boy and girl; kept two cows and three
horses, one being a mare, from whom he
raised a colt each year; killed more pork
than supplied his family during the year.
The poultry, lard, bacon, eggs, calves
beans and potatoes, clothed and fed, paid
taxes, and hire of extra hands. He rented
from neighbor some corn ground, and
got the use of a house to cure some of his
tobacco.
In five years his land has been paid for
snug buildings erected outline fences in
good order, and movable fence for enclos-
ing fresh lot each year for pasture, and
has three fine colts for sale worth $500,
with the farm increased in value (by build
ings and improved fertility, being drained,
cleaned, and manured) to double its cost to
him. His system is admirable, now that
he is not forced to work so much land
All the manure he can scrape together, he
spreads over the pasture lot, and it amounts
to great deal during the twelve months,
besides the dropping of the stock, weeds
and rubbish, he collects straw, leaves,
tobacco stalks, and feeds his stock in
autumn and good weather in winter on
corn fodder scattered over the thinner
spots Thus this Is acres is rich for tobac-
co, potatoes turnips, cabbage, &C., and is
after tobacco sown in grain and clover
while another 15 acres are prepared for
pasture, being sown in rye and clover with
the growing corn, so that by the 1st of
May when the stock is taken from the old
pasture, number two is ready to receive
them with a fine growth of rye and clover.

GREEN CoLoRED DRESSES, TOYS, Con-
FECTIoNERY, ETC, ARE Poisonous. it
is not alone in coloring wall paper that
these poisonous pigments are used Con-
fectionery, pastry, ornaments and toys are
colored with them, articles that soon find
their way to children's mouths. Toy boxes

One of the green blocks Of paint, weighing
1926 grains, on analysis was found to con-
tain $50 grains Of arsenic. The shelves in
closets and pantries are sometimes covered
with arsenic paint, from which the poison
is easily absorbed by any warm or moist
substance. The brilliant green paper so
common for covering paste board boxes,
for tickets, for 5onbon wrappers, for lamp
shades, is colored with arsenic. The green
of artificial grass and leaves is generally
produced by arsenic. In one case, in a
single twig Of twelve leaves, ten grains of
pure arsenic were found. Arsenic is used
to color cloth for women's dresses. DR..
Draper procured a sample of the stuff called
tarlatan, resembling muslin, at one of the
retail stores in Boston, which was found to
hold feebly S.21 grains of white arsenic to
every square foot To handle or to wear
such goods is dangerous to life.

New STUFFING FOR CUsHIoNs.-A ma
terial which has come quite extensively
into use in Germany, as substitute for
hair in the stuffing of saddles, etc, con-
sists of a mixture of flax seed and tallow.
The advantage of this substitute consists
primarily in the fact that the mobility of
the seeds, one upon the other, prevents the
packing or settling in any particular place,
as often happens in saddles stuffed with
hair, thus causing any given pressure to
be readily and uniformly distributed over
any given surface. The tallow serves the
purpose, too, of keeping the leather flexi-
BILE, and Of preventing the absorption of
perspiration, protects the article itself, and
prevents the back of the animal from
becoming CALLED. Animals with sores or
with saddles stuffed with this material
without any great Inconvenience. The
tallow also has the effect Of preventing the
rotting of the flax seed, and is to be added
in sufficient quantity to give the requisite
softness to the entire mass. An aromatic
odor can be impaired by introducing oil
of turpentine or camphor powder, and the
durability considerably increased thereby.
One part of ftallow to from six to ten parts Of
flax seed may be used, according to the
temperature.
