Poultry Keeping for Women.

There are many women who, es-
pecally within the last half dozen
years, while the price of eggs has been
so high make money much faster by
tending poultry than sewing. 1t is an
occupation especially suited to women,
because it involves patience and constant
attention to details, rather than strength.
Then again the hardest thing for men to
learn in handling either bees or poul-
try is gentleness. How many times
we have seen boys, and men with no
more sense than boys, jerk hens from
their nests, enter the poultry house alb
ruptly and brighten the occupants till
they rush. into the farthest corner, and
keep the poultry community in constant
agitation and distress. But all domestic
animals appreciate the manners of wO-
men attendants when they are fortunate
enough to be cared for by them. Now
there are women gardeners and florists
who by commendable industry and bust
ness qualities have risen to eminence in
those Callings, and while one of the most
successful, if not tie most successful,
bee keepers in the whole country is a
woman, we hope to see others give
poultry more attention than it has hither-
to received. Aside from profit the keep
ing of fine poultry for fancy is all ele-
giant pastime, very popular with En-
glish ladies, and we see no reason why
the fashion should not be adopted here.

KILLING TREES WITH SALT DR.. Ked-
zie, of the Michigan Agriculture College,
speaking of how salt is taken up in the
circulation of trees, relates a case of its
fatal effects that came under his own
observation: On the college grounds
formerly grew fine, vigorous specimen
of the common sassafras (SdsSQtras Off
cinale. apparently in perfect health. A
quantity of strong brine was inadvert-
emily thrown beneath this tree, forming
a stagnant pool in its immediate vicinity
In very short time the tree began to
manifest signs of decreasing vitality.
The salt was absorbed unchanged in
such immense quantities that, entering
the circulation, it effloresced upon the
surface of the leaf, in white crystalline
deposits, after which the tree grew rap
idly feebler and died.

SIMPLE PRoTEoToR FROM RAIN AND
Frost. e. Radley, gardener AZ years
to the Dillwyn family, ," describes, in a
recent number of the MARI Lane En-
press, simple way of making protee-
tors for hay cocks or sheayes Of grain
from storms, or for plants from frost,
in substance as follows: A stick two
feet long and an inch in diameter is
nicked around within an inch Of the top;
and handful of straw is bound ON even
" around it. The stick is stuck into the
top of hay cock. or shock Of grain
sheaves, pinning it together so as to
prevent the wind blowing it over, while
the straw, spread out umbrella like over
the top, sheds the rain and dew For
plant protectors take four sticks of four
feet long. Tie them together at top,
and bind straws round. Thrust sticks
into the ground till the straw reaches the
surface"

brought out in a recent article in Les
M0ndes, where the neglect of this pre-
caution is given as explaining why some

a plausible one, and it Is well for those
who are setting out trees to make a note

A PLEA FOR DoGs.-A correspondent
of the Maine Farme2 speaks these good
words for the house dog:
What hard working farmer, on return
ing at night to rest his weary limbs,
does not feel that he is more safe from
burglars, and his stock. fowls and orch
ards more secure from thieves and mid
night providers, both two and four legged,
If he has a good faithful dog about his
premises? What good housewife, and
all such prefer leaving their hard days
work on the clothes line duringthe dews
of the night. does not feel that her clothes
are more safe if Bose is in the yard !?
When the little ones are off berrying,
fishing or wandering in the woods, what
parent does not feel less anxious if Bose
is with them? When you are absent
from home over night do YOU not feel
that home is more secure if Bose guards
the premises-and who greets your re-
turn with a more cheerful welcome than
he From the earliest period of history
the dog has been the faithful companion
of man. and is the only species Of the
brute creation that will fOrsakG its own
species and follow man. A dog may be
taught to be useful in many ways, even
to the saving of human life. You can
easily learn dog to go into the water
and bring out a stick, yonr hat, or coat,
and by filling a suit Of your boys cloth
ing with straw, and throwing it into the
river, your dog will bring them out and
If your little boy should accidentally fall
into the water, Bose would soon safely
land him on shore.
DRAIN Pipes TO THE AcRE.-H cor
respondent of the Prairie Farm furnishes
the following:
The number of pipes required to drain
an acre may be easily found from the
following table, and by which the guam
tity required for an area can be determin-
ed. 1t has always been found to be so
accurate as to form the quantities in all
estimates. A fair per centage for break
age is allowed.

RAT-PROOF CORN-CRIB. "A correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Gazette, gives the
following directions for making a rat
proof cOrn-crib: Let the four corner
posts be eight inches square frame the
stills which are to support the floor Of the
corn crib into the posts at distance of
two feet from the lower end. Before
putting the frame together, taper the
lower ends of the posts for this distance
of two feet, 50 that at the very base the
posts shall be only four inches square.
Now when the frame is set up let these
posts also stand on tapered rocks. If
the crib needs more than these four posts
to bear up the corn that will be put into
it, make legs like the lower portions of
these posts, and set these legs under the
stills. Now lay the jOists or sleepers on
the sills, and put on the floor, making
the latter tight, and which will be about
three feet from the ground. Have the
door made tight, and keep it shut, and
no rats will get into your crib.
HARVESTING RooTs-SUGGEsuoNs.-
1t is a great error to suppose that roots,
such as beats, turnips, carrots, etc,
when intended for stock feeding should
be housed early. 1t is, on the contrary,
much better to let them remain out till
the weather becomes quite severe-a
heavy frost does not impair the turnip if
it is in the soil When | see ploughing
done year after year in the same track,
beside fence or gully, till a dyke Of
some height is thrown up, | think there
is want of good husbandry. When
see a stone wall topped out with asingle
tier of stones, round as foot balls, l look
out for brcachy sheep, dull scythes, and
poor neighbors. When ] see a farmer
plant two acres of corn and put twenty
loads of manure on it, and then only get
half crop of pig corn, | make up my
mind he is lacking in judgment, and will
never be successful in any occupation.
