How TO Protect Fruit From Birds.

A correspondent Of the London Field
says that his method has proven entire
ly efficacious. "And what, you will say,
is my talisman? Simply ball of gray,
white, or brown linen thread | take u
ball of this i'll my hand, fasten the end
of it to one of the twigs of the gooseber-
ny or currant bush, and then cross the
thread backwards from twig to twig in
perhaps a dozen different directions,
fasten off, and the thing is done; and it
will last two years--the thread on the
trees, / mean. 1t is not necessary the
thread should be white, of course: il
ought rather to be fine and dark-a
thing to be felt not seen. / have watch
ed the birds after performing the oper-
alton they come boldly to settle on the
trees, and they strike these, to them,
invisible snares, for such no doubt they
seem to be; they fly off in terrible
hurry, and settle ON the walls and trees
around about, longing and getting hun
CRY until they disappear and You see
them no more.
AS regards peas and other seeds,
which i always SOW in drills, ! simply
stretch thread, sometimes two, along
each drill, at about two inches from the
ground, supporting it at that height by
little forked sticks. II you put it much
higher than this the birds do not seem
TO care for tit does not touch them
this is the grand secret, something they
do not well see, nor know what it means.
/ have seen people put thick white
string with feathers tiedto, and perhaps
two feet from the ground. The birds
soon understand these, and care little
for them in short know to my cost il
sometimes acts as a lure, as notice TO
the birds that there is something TO be
had worth looking after. / will answer
for it, any one adopting the plan /
recommend will never have cause TO
complain Of the birds, however numer-
ous they NAV be.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Give she Poultry Plenty of Exercise

Until the garden is planted, fowls
should have full liberty to range there
in. In the 81 ring, especially, they are
indefatigable hunters of insects, and
their natural instinct should not be
curbed in this direction, whenever they
will not do positive injury to the plants,
and this is only for about three months
after the garden is planted. For this
reason, the garden ought always to be
fenced, so that fowls may have the
range Of the farm.
In subj" ban sand other small places,
they must, we SUI pose9, perforce,, be
kept up when there 10 danger OF their
depredating upon neigh 'orlng places !;
but, even in such cases they may be let
out an hour or two before sun down, the
time then being so short before roost-
ing time that they will neither wander
far orscratch oany considerable .xtent.
Advantage should be taken OF the
first warm weather to thoroue hly clean
the poultry house, and the wash for
such portions as are whittwashed
should have portion of carbolic acid
mixed in it, since it not only kiln YER
min, but also tends to prevent their
gathering.

The American Agriculturalist answer
correspondent by saying: With al
other grains than corn change of seed
now and then is considered advisable.
Potatoes are especially improved by a
change procured from different local
ity and soil. But corn has not gener-
ally been found to deteriorate by long
planting on The other hand there are
many farmers who are now planting
feed produced from the corn their
fathers planted generation ago. RIM
ming out of the corn is more likely to
be the result of impoverished soil, and
the best method of improvement would
probably be a crop of clover upon the
land, to be plowed under, or some
other substantial fertilizer.

" FOv the Blood is the Life. /"

See Deu teronomy Chap. xii, Verse %.
The blood being the source from which
our systems are built up and from
which we derive our mental as well as
physical capabilities, how important
that it should be kept pure. If it con
tains vile fostering poisons all organic
functions are weakened thereby. Set
ting upon important organs, as the
lungs, liver or kidneys, the effect is
most disastrous. Hence it behooves
every one to keep their blood in per-
fectly healthy condition and more
especially does this apply at this par
tlcular season of the year than at any
other. No matter what the exciting
cause may be, the real cause of large
proportion of all diseases is bad blood.
Now DIR. Pierce does not wish to place
his Golden Medical Discovery in the
catalogue of quack patent nostrums by
recommending it to- cure every disease,
nor does he SO recommend it, on the
contrary there are hundreds of diseases
that he acknowledges it will not cure
but what he does claim is this, that
there is but one form of blood disease
that it will not cure, and that disease is
cancer. lie does not recommend his
Discovery for that disease, yet he knows
it to be the most searching blood cleans
er yet discovered, and that it will free
the blood and syst EN- of all otherknown
blood poisons, be they animal. vegeta-
.ble or mineral. The Golden Discovery
is warranted by him to cure the worst
forms of Skin Diseases, as all forms
of BloNtches, Pimples, and Eruptions,
also all Glandular Swellings, and the
worst form of Saofulous and Ulcer
ated Sores of Neck, Legs or other parts,
and all Ser, 1fulous Diseases of the
Bones, as VIII. tie Swe llings, Fever Sores
Hip Joint and Spina Diseases, all of
which belong to Sero:fulous diseases.

she was not able to get off the bed and
was not expected to live week when
she commenced using it, year ago.
