Newspaper Advertising.

1t Is no wonder that newspaper
advertisements are popular with
the people and are read by them.
There is a frankness and independ-
ence aboutan adve7t isementwhich
pleases. 1t seems to say, "Read
me, or let, me alone just as yous
like" 1t is for that reason, says
an exchange, this newspaper ad.
vertising is preferred to handbills,
which people think are forced up
on them, or to signs and posters,
which stare them out of counter.

grows thicker and stronger. In

will create new growth, except in

The Best Way to Make Hay.

The following article is from one of the
best farmers in East Tennessee, and we
hope to hear often from him:
EDITORS CHRONICLE: Some time ago 1
astonished dealer in agricultural imple-
ments, who tried to sell me hay teddor,
and who enlarged on the labor-saving
quality of his machine, by telling him,
that preferred to leave my hay entirely
undlsturbed between moving and hauling
and therefore, would not use tedder, if l
had one. Probably the good man thought,
| was only "a talking" yet that is exactly
the way, make hay, and | believe / am
making better and more hay, besides saw
ing work. than by the old method. 1
have followed that plan for several years
and am doing it again this year. Only
yesterday we hauled some nice hay, which
had been exposed to two good showers,
laying flat as the mower left it. | feel sat
isfied, that it would have been almost
worthless, if it had been in cocks during
the rain. Until four years ago, l was of
the opinion with most of farmers, that
hay ought to be frequently turned and
finally cooked up to cure well, but found
out my mistake accidental. AT that time we
had good deal of hay nearly cured, part
ly in cocks and part still left on the
ground, when heavy storm stopped us
from hauling. Owing to frequent showers,
we did not get that hay hauled until five
days afterwards when we found that the
portion in cocks was hardly worth hauling
home, and would have spoiled completely,
had we not hauled it between showers.
The other part, left undisturbed, made very
fair hay. Ever since then have followed
that plan with good success, raking up
with a horse-Take no faster than needed,
and loading it directly from from the wind
ow. 1t is true, l have always had more
or less clover among my hay, and can not
say positively how pure grass hay would
stand that treatment, but would not be
afraid to dry it. There is no reason why any
| kind of hay should not cure we'll in that
manner. The stubble of clover and grass
holds up the hay and gives the water a
| chance to run through should it rain, (and
it generally does during July harvest
while the portion laying on top shades the
rest and keeps the sun from scorching it.
| If left as the moving machine has dropp-
ed it, it can not scald, as it does not lay
| thick enough in one place. OF course,
! this plan can not be followed if the NOW
| ing has been done with scythes and the
| hay left in windows.
A good part of my hay this year is or
chard grass. l am highly pleased with
it. 1t has kept the clover from lodging in
| some parts of the field. On another part
near the river, the soil is rather sandy.
Here the clover has disappeared altogeth-
| er, while there is a fine stand of orchard
grass, proving that this is the grass for oui
river bottoms, where it always has been
| difficult to get good stand of either clio.
yer, timothy, or herds grass.

Catarrh in Fowls.

A writer in Land and Water attributes
catarrh or roup to damp quarters, or fire.
quently to insufficient feeding. Breeding
in-and-in also occasions it sometimes, be-
cause such stock becomes physically weak
Most forms of the disease will yield at
the outset to generous food and better care.
Bread crusts soaked in spiced ale are re-
commended, but we suppose a rich and va
ried diet of anything which fowls relish
will be good. Neglect when the disease
first appears will usually end in aggravat-
ed and dangerous symptoms. When the
discharges become thick and clotted, the
disease is certainly contagious. 1t is COM
municable through the water-vessel, or
rom sc ratching over the same food. AS
to treatment in the advanced stages of the
disease, it says: at is only with birds of
value That attempts at cure should be
made, which should be to purge out with
a dose of caster oil first. Battle the head
and nOstrils with a warm, weak solution
of carbolic acid, keeping it from the birds
eyes. When the mater is free from the
nostrils, slightly syringe with small ear
syringe) some of the solution up the same.
Well dry the feathers about the head and
neck. Pills of the following parts should
always be at hand, and one night and
morning administered while the birds are
i'll: 4 on. of camphor, OF. of valerian, ! or
of cayenne pepper, J OF. of lobelia seed
powder, ! OF. gum myrrh make into

An Interesting Sight.

1--WE have seem" says a writer, from
two to six hearty boys sitting by the
kitchen stove, toasting their feet and crack
ing jokes, while their mother, slender
woman, has gone to the wood pile for
wood, to the well for water, or to the meat
house for frozen steak for breakfast. That
is not as it should be.
There is much work about the house
too hard for the women heavy lifting,
hard, extra steps, which should be done by
those more able. Boys, do not let your
mother do it all, especially if she is a feeble
woman. Dull, prosy house-work is irk-
some at the best; it is long work, too, it be-
ing impossible TO tell when it is done and
then on the morrow, the whole thing is to
be done over again. There is more of it
than one is apt to think.
1--WE wish some busy, all day house
keeper, the arrangement of whose house is
about as incOnvenient as it can be-a not
uncommon state of things-would count
her steps taken in any one day, and let us
have the result in miles; let it be noted
how many times from the stove to the
wood pile, to the pump, and up and down
stairs, and especially how many times
from the stove 10 the buttery."
We know mother of seven great
hearty boys" who will say: cit was not
my boys the writer saw toasting their feet
etc., while their mother went to the wood
pile for wood"
We think most of these boys regarded il
as a duty and a pleasure to help Tighten
the burden and save the steps of that deal
mother. And now she is old, the thought
of it is a source of comfort to her and tC
them. And we hope the above exhortatioI
will lead all our young friends to be ready
to help and comfort their mothers Wei

Maxlms in Cattle Breeding.

James n. Brown, of Illinois, was a noted
breeder of shOrt-horn cattle, and these are
some of his ideas
Use pure-blOoded males. Keep no more
stock than you can keep well-and the
young should always be improved. Never
sell to the butcher or anybody else your
best and thriftiest young females. Calves
should be dropped from LIST of March to LIST
of May.
Never allow calves to run with their
dams and suck at will it Injuries both.
Milk the young cows as long as possible,
All cattle.breeders should have two pas
lures for summer grazing, and change the
stock from one TO the other frequently.
Land intended for winter grazing should
not be grazed in midsummer. The sum-
mer growth is needed for winter protec-
ton.
To render stockgrowing as profitable as
it should be, good grass for winter and
summer is indispensable.

What is Said Of Butter.

When a wholesale dealer is questioned
as to the proportion of really fine butter
he receives in his consignments, he replies
about five per cent. a larger proportion
than this comes to market as grease. The
grocer will tell you that of all his stock
good butter is the most difficult to procure,
and costs him more time and trouble to
select. We know there is no good reason
why this should be so. Here and there
scattered widely apart throughout the
country we know farmers who make ex
cellent butter, which would be classe d
first quality in the market, and next door
to those are neighbors who make trash I'M
fit for food. On the counters of country
stores may any day be seen rolls of butter
most widely different in color, flavor and
texture. One farmer is careful and clean
ly his wife keeps her dairy sweet and her
pals and pans perfectly pure another
keeps foul stable, milks in an uncleanly
fashion, has musty feed and foul water for
his cows, while his wife is equally careless
in her dairy. How can the butter in these
two cases be other than widely different in
quality and value?

BuckMheat asa Green Crup.

]. Il. Hartley, Kennedyville, Md,
writes
1 sometimes read of buckwheat being
sown and then turned under to act as fer
tilizer for the permanent improvement of
worn-out lands. Is there any virtue in it?
If so, at what stage of growth should it be
plowed under? How much should be
sown to the acre, &c. +? Some of our seeds
men advertise pea-vine Tor saplin) for the
same purpose. DO you know anything of
it? BY noticing this through the columns
of your paper you will greatly oblige me.
AnSUer.-In the actual amount of ferti-
lizing matter contained the buckwheat
ranks fifth, but in its adaptability to poor
soils it ranks second throughout the South
and first in the North. We say this be
cause in the South the cow-pea can be
grown and it has no superior as a green
crop for fertilizing poor soils, clover alone
excepted, but it will flourish on lands
where clover will not take root. If you
can get the true Southern cow-pea from
any friends in North Carolina it will grow
on the sandy lands of Maryland. If the
Southern people properly appreciated the
value of this plant, which nature has given
specially to them, they might make it a
mine of wealth. If this is the pea you
mean by all means try it.
