Poultry Houses.

II IL not enough that poultry houses
should be constructed ~ to keep out
the cold in the winter season; they
must also freely admit the heat and
rays of the sun. The direct and bene-
hGial influence Of the solar and lumi-
nous rays on animal and vegetable life
II 80 fully understood, as to require ut
our hands no special demonstration
our every day experience teaches rs
that, 1t II enough for us to compare
those Hho pnss the greater portion Of
their lives in the open mir und IN the
sunshine with those vino are secluded
from 1t, either by business occupation
or obscure dwellings, to notice It's effect

at ono be admitted how ueccssagy 1t Is
that II large supply Of the former should

fined IN houses or small yards. II 10

indebted GOr the oxygen we %COnsulnO,

comes VisiblG ~ well IN nan ~ In an

But ~ the respiration IN fowls IN el-
fected Whie completely, extensively
and ret ,ciy than in any other class
| Of similarly constituted animals, their
average temperature IL higher, The
extensive development Of tho rc5plra
tory process Is due to the lnCt that mir
is admitted IN fowls not only 10 the
lungs but also TO the interior Of great
rr or less number Of bones, and to Il
series Of mir rcCcptscIcs which nrc scat

fore consumed by poultry Is greatly in
excess Of any other class Of the Vcrtc-
brata, and on thc sufficient and on

How TO Get Good Raspbcrrlcs.

Comparatively few people ever eat a
really good raspberry. TO have this
delicious fruit IN perfection you may
raise it IN your own garden and take a
little pains with It. We do not now
propose to 60 into the general subject
Of planting, pruning, and managing
raspberries, but simply to throw oUta
few hints that may be Of practical value
at the present time.
Raspberries require very rich land,
and II Is not too late to fork in some
Well-rOtted manure between the rows.
II this a not be obtained, SOW about
three pounds Of some good artificial
manure to the square rod, and work 1t
into the soil with q pronged hoe. A
spade should never DO used among rasp-
berries. Keep the ground as clean as
possible. Weeds pump up large guam
titles OF water out Of the soil. Suffer
none to grow. And TccOIlect that q
raspberry sucker that IN not needed IL
simply u weed, and should 10 treated
accordingly. You want four strong
suckers to each plant to form canes for
DoXt year. All the rest, unless needed
to form new beds should be killed ~
Soon rs they show themselves This
is 4 very important point IN raising
large, delicious rGspborries. Az dry
weather approaches, the land having
been repeatedly stirred to kill weeds,
mulch the ground thlckly with the
clippings Of the lawn or other material
to prevent tie evaporation Of moisture.

FLOATING IsLAND.-Having Just
learned n new wrinkle in making this
ornamental aud delicious form OF GUS
u ri, l NM lai ~ give the full recipe
heIo, ~ do not see II any late num-
Of the AgrjcuH0rjSt, and am not sure IA
has ii appeared there.
One quart of good milk. Heat this,
add sugar ''to t%astc,n and when nearly
boiling, pour in the yolks Of six eggs,
thoroughly beaten, stirring briskly Until
the custard ii cooked. Flavor ~ you
like. Turn this into II suitable deep
dish, and vet it ina cool place. Beat
the whites to still froth, turn them in
to II colander here you have u "wrip-
klo' which Vas new to me, but old to
somc), and pour boiling water through
the foam, shake 1t together, ard turn
it carefully upon the custard. You
may scatter bits Of jelly over this, or
not, rs you please. All custards should
he cold when eaten.
To separate the whites from tho yolks
is II tedious process, unless you know
how. Then IL il simple enough. Brebk
the egg through the middle with u
quick rap against the edge OF the dish.
Holding it over the dish, put your
thumbs into the %crcvice, and pull the
egg o4'cn into two cups. The yolk
settles iIsclflnto one, II part Of the al
bumon Of white spillsjnto the dish,
and you can easily pour the rest oil,
turning the yolk from II sllell-cup to
tn" other, being careful not to break it,
until il is free from the white. Then
turn 1t into the dish in which you beat
the y"ks. Many persons have no idea
what n still froth' is, and stop beat
ing the whites when they just begun to
foam.

Extraordinary Cures.

We have read many accounts Of the
extraordinary cures Of DR.. Walkers
California Vinegar Bittcrs, which hnyo
seemed incredible. We arc inclined to
believe them, aB many OF those who
NoUch Tor them are persons whose VcrNc-
lty We can guarantee. The newspapers
teen with testimonials of this character
and there is IN mir Of particularly and
of truth about them which cannot be-
resisted. One manifest superiority the
Vinegar Bittcrs possesses over other
Alternative and Tonic preparations. 1t
contains non Of the burning fluids with
which most advertised Bittcrs arc I'M
proGnatod. 1t cannot create Fever.
Instead Of clOuding the brain, it clears
it if clOudcd. 1t is well known that NJ
colloI, even OF the purest description,
wcakcns and untoncs the stomach in
stead Of bracing it, and il, therefore,
pOiSOH i'll cases Of Indigestion. Fancy,
then, what must be the effect OF tho
cheap ffrc-m0tcr employed in making
ordinary Bittcrs and rincturcs, on tho
weakened and inilNmod digestive organs.
Vinegar Bittors, ON the other hand,
ROOthes the stomach, whilo it increases
the appetite aud "rclaxcs tho bowels.
DR.. Walker is II regular physician, and
hlS remedies have just as much authori-
ty as amy standard remedies Of the
faculty. We believe thoy are destined
to become II household medicine -(Ou4.

ImUrOpcr N ulchiug.

We lately saw some trees that had
been Killed, we have no doubt, by cX-
ccsaivo mulchiug. Thoy had boon
planted in II lawn, and the grass, that
had been moved for ONT distance
around the trees, had been gathered up
and hcapcd around them. Grass new
Iy cut will heat Thou gathered into
heaps, and this heating Will cause much
evaporation from the soil, besides sc.
riously affecting the roots which are
near the surface. Thus, an exactly OPP
posltc effect to that produced by proper
mulchlng IL caused, and instead Of all
accession Of moisture to the roll, the

Thinning Fruit.

Hon, Marshall =. Wilder, in his adj
dress before tho American Pathological
Convention, ut Richmond, Va, stated:
TINS IL u lesson We have to learn,
and the necessity Of which we have Of
ten ~endeaVOrcd to impress upon cult
vttOrs, and which every successive
scason teaches with stronger emphasis.
1t is absolutely necessary for al who
send fruit to market to send large fruit,
ana The markets IRE constantly and
progressively requiring large and fine
lrUll. Even tho SCCkel pear, which
once commanded in the Boston mar
kot the highest price, will not now, II
less OF extra SIZE, sell for any more, If
a5 much, as common varieties OF larger
size. A medium sized fruit, or even
one Ol smaller siHo, may be more eco
nolnicaI for use, but until some decided
change IN the preference Of the major
lty Of %purChascre shall takcplncc, large
fruit Will sell better than email.
To produce this, the fruit must not
only have flood cultivation, but must
he Lhlnncd, and we agree with Mr..
Meehau that "One-half OF the trees
which bear fruit every year wOuldbe
benefited by having onc-half Of the
fruit taken Off ~ soon as II IL well set,
and that the o%verbcaring Of n tree will
In II few years destroy It," We may
lay II down M a certain rule that eX-
ccsSiNe production IL Away at the OK
pense OF both quantity and quality; II
not In the same season, then In sue
cccdlng ones, for when branch Is con

GRAPES About the House.


1t II pleasant to observe that the
grape has, and still continues to elicit
much attention, nearly or quite all
over New England. II IL annually be-
coming more common In our markets,
and the quality and flavor have been
gradually improved. Some Of them
may he pronounced ~ excellent, Much
however, remains to be learHcdOf their
habits, and Of the best modes Of cult
waiting them " regards location and
soil. Especially Is 1t necessary that
better practices should prevail In re-
gard TO the manner Of preparing them
for market. Many Of thOse exhibited
for sale keep but u short time, owing
TO the bungllng and imperfect manner
adopted in harvesting thom, They are
handled too roughly, which not only
rubs Off the beautiful bloom that COW
ers them, but often bruises them, II
packed in boxes, they are sometimes 30
numerous that the weight Of tho top
layers alone is sufficient TO press the
lower ones out Of shape, aud perhaps to
burst some Of them.
Grapes OF the greatest excellence OF
their Kind will DC found, IL the long
run, to prove the most profitable. II
they are Of the Concord variety, for
instance, II would be advisable togrGdc
them. Lot the lunches which arc
tho most perfect IN form, color and
flavor, DC put by themselves, md those
Of Il second quality by themselves, IN
this way they will sell for u much
larger price than If the best and second
quality were together,
We are inclined to think that the
c%ultiVatOr might gOa step further, md
find advantage In 1t. In order that tho
grapes may DO kept well, and retain
it, sOuudncss aud sweetness for many
weeks, the punches should not bc rude
ly plucked from tho vine. by lhohand,
but be carefully cut of with II pair Of
sharp shears, or twlg cutters, and the
cut covered Immediately by touching
the end into n little gum shcllaC dis.
solved In alcohol. This could be- done
inrtantaneously, almost, aud would
tend to prevent the mutt from shrink
ing, and thus prevent the dcLcriora-
ton which II h almost certain to UNI
derRO, II this prcCAution Ia not attended
to. The person who, by some Carc Of
this nature, can offer excellent fruit il
the market two "a three wcoka beyond
the hHual time, will be- certain to find
all his extra care most a%bundantly re-
paid. This would he the case with the
grape, b%ecause it Ia in season at all
timos. 1t would be more Rcrcpta-
bic, even after the flush 81 the wins
tago had gone by.
The grape is II very c'.Hy cultivated
fruit, and there h good reason why, at
this day, every person who owns II
garden spot, should not at least pos
rcss II vine. 1t will necessarily uc-
Gupy but little room, ~ It may he
planted near tho fence, against which
1t may be conveniently trained iUrsup-
port, and ~ 1t shades but little, when
property managed, will prove nj inju-
ny to the soil.
In setting out II vine, We would BUg-
Eost TINT 1t IL no more work TO set and
tend one that produces excellent fruit,
than 1t IL 10 produce one whose fruit
will be indifferent aud worthless. FOR
an outdoor grape, perhaps there rs
nothing better ut plcrcut than the
