NG.-Transplanting cab
bage, tomato, and tobacco plants, is
often carelessly done, and great losses
are sustained in consequence. A few
hours exposure of the plants to the sun
and wind will result in the loss of some
days growth at least, if 1t does not
cause the entire loss of the plants.
The plants should not be lifted from
the bed, If it can be helped, till the
ground and the holes are prepared to
receive them. It'll a capital plan if the
soil is not already very moist from rain,
to water them thoroughly in the bed an
hour or two before lifting. 1t will
cause greater amount of soil to adhere
to the roots.
"Tske them up teuderly, lift them with care"
is the rule to be observed here as in
other things. NO pains, no gains, is
the motto. Select rainy damp day. if
possible: if not, just before sunset is
better than the morning. We like to
have pretty dry soil to set them in,
but We would have supply of water to
pour into the hole after it is made, and
before it is soaked away set in the plant
and ill in with dry soil This is wet by
the water, and the plant is surrounded
by moisture and yet the surface is loose
and open, and not packed too close or
baked around the plant. A little extra
pains will pay well.

"WHo's there?" said Jenkins, one
cold winter night, disturbed in his re-
pose by some one knocking at the street
door. "a FRIEND" was the answer.
What do you want ?" "Want to stay

it? But stay there by all means" was
the benevolent reply.

Fowls FOR PRoFr.-There are eleven
prominent varieties of poultry - five
sitters and six non-sitters. The sitters
are the Brahmas, Cochins, Dorkings,
Game and Malay; the non-sitters are
the Spanish, Hamburg, Poland, Hondan
Creve Ceur aud La Fleche. Some
poultry fanciers lrefer sitters and
others non sitters; and from these
varieties of the two classes every one
can select according to their own taste.
Hens are as good as pigs to eat all the
refuse of the table, even to the bone
when cracked to the size of corn. They
are fond of potatoes, turnips, cabbage,
grass, and any quality and quantity of
meat. A little corn, or buckwheat,
therefore, added to the refuse of the
table, is Just the kind of food they re-
quire. When running at large the
biddies pick up gravel stonea, pieces of
bones, clam a.d oyster shell, old NOR
tar, and whatever contains lime which
is essential to the formation of egg
shells; and If confined IN yard they
will require that these be furnished to
them. Pounded bones, or clam or
oyster shells they will devour with great
voracity; and if the coal ashes are
emptied in their yard. they will revel
in them, picking and eating all the cal
carious substances they can find.
In addition to the essential quality OF
albumen required in the organism of
the fowl, the laying hen requires an
extra amount for the formation of eggs
the white of the hens eggs being
about twelve per cent. of albumen, and
this must be furnished In her feed. By
referring to the chemical analysis of
the different kinds of grains, it will be
seen that corn contains the greatest
amount of fatty substances, while wheat
contains a larger amount of albumen
than any other kind of grain. To fatten
hens, therefore, feed corn. To procure
eggs feed wheat, meat, cabbage, apples
and thick milk. The milk not only
serves to moisten the food, but also
contributes albumen, which goes to the
formation of the egg. Many persons
seem to suppose that domestic fowls
need no food but corn, III one form or
another But it should be considered
thct "food" means the material for
supporting the frame of the bird and
furnishing material for the egg, and to
manufacture these they must have the
raw material. All animals consume
more or less of lime 1t is one principal
element entering into the composition
of the bones, but the hen needs an extra
supply for the eggs.

SOIL FOE ORCHARDs.-The soil for an
orchard should be in good condition,
and especially well drained. Any soil
in which water stagnstes is unfit to
plant trees in. If the ground has been
occupied by hoed crop the season pre-
vious to setting out the trees it will be
an advantage. Of greater utility still
will it De to have the orchard deeply
plowed and sub-soiled, both the season
previous and just before planting, and
repeatedly narrowed to bring the soil
into fine filth. Where the gromnd is
not naturally fertile enough, some fer
tilizer must be used. There is nothing
better than good barn-yard manure,
well-rotted, or thoroughly decomposed
compost and nothing worse than green
fresh manures.

Wanted 20 be Heard From.

If anybody has ever used the thor
ough and scientific course of treatment
recommended by the proprietor of DIR.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy for the cure of
Catarrh and has not been perfectly
cured, the proprietor, DIR. X. V. Pierce,
would like to hear from that person,
and by addressing him at the Worlds
Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y, such per-
son, if there be one, will hear of some
thing to his or her advantage, as the
Doctor is in earnest when he offers $500
reward for a case of Catarrh which he
can not cure, and is perfectly able to
pay it if he fails in a single case, as any
one may ascertain upon enquiry. The
thorough course of treatment referred
to and recommended by DIR. Pierce con-
sists in the use of DIR. Ssge's Cstarrh
Remedy with Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche
which is the only means by which the
fluid can be carried high up and applied
to all parts of the nasal passages and
the chambers connected Herewith in
which ulcers exist and from which the
discharge proceeds. In addition to
this thorough application of the Rem
edy, which should always be used warm,
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
should be taken earnestly as constitu-
tional treatment, without which few
cases can be cured as the disease is al
ways constitutional and must be treated
accordingly. This treatment has no
unpleasant features about it, and has
the advantage of never driving the dis
ease to the lungs as there is danger of
doing by the use of strong, irritating
snuffs or poisonous solutions.

BREAKING IT GRNTLY.-''Yes. 1 re-

pathos in his voice, and the old sad
look in his eyes. ''It was about a sim
pie creature named Higgins, who used

lamented Judge Bagley tripped and fell
down the courthouse stairs and broke
his neck, it was a great question how to
break the news to poor Mrs. Bagley.
But finally the body was put into Hig-
gins wagon, and he was instructed to
take it to Mrs. Bagley, but to be very
guarded and discreet in his language,
and not to break the news to her at
once, but do it gradually and gently.
When Higgins got there with his sad
freight, he shouted till Mrs. Bagley
came to the door.
Then he said, "Does the Widder
Bagley live here?"
"The Widow Bsgley? No, sir !"
"I'll bet she does. But have it your
own way. Well, does Judge Bagley
live here ?"
"Yes, Judge Bagley lives here"
''Ill bet he don't. But never mind,

The JAPAN PRIMROSE. intro
duction of this "Queen of Primroses'
caused quite a sensation in England,
and it is likely to be a favorite in
America. As its name indicates, it comes
from japan. 1t blooms in April and
May, and is said to be quite hardy.
Sometimes the seeds do not germinate
till the second year after sowing. The
plant grows to about foot and half
nigh. The leaves, though larger, re-
semble those of the English Primrose.
The stem is odorned with several
separate whorls of Magenta-colored
flowers.
