70 KEEP HANS IN SUMMER.-There are
a number of modes given to keep hams
during the warm season free from the at
tacks of insects. Some bag them and
whitewash the bags, which is troublesome
and somewhat expensive; some cover
them with dry wood-ashes and pack them
in barrels and cover thoroughly with pine
shavings; but we think the best plan of all,
and certainly the least expensive with all
who have smoke-house, and every farm
er should have Il good one, is to heep the
hams hung up in the smoke-house. which
should be kept perfectly dark at all times
We have some hams so kept, two years,
old, and they are among the very best we
ever tasted. Uniform darkness is a COM
plete protection against the attack of in

Fodder Corn.

Corn is unrivaled as a fodder crop, and
may be put in at any time before the first
OF July, on good land, with the prospect
OF fair crop. We raised. last season
eight tons of cured corn fodder to the acre.

rich soil and fine filth, and little extra
time spent in preparing the ground will be

often sown broadcast, but is much better

PARTIAL soILING DAIRY STOCK
Dairymen should always be prepared
Ior dehclent pasturage. As a COW depends
upon full feeding for full production of
mix, the dalrymen cannot expect a profit
able return from his dairy without a gener-
Gus supply of food. His loss from short
pasture in August and September is not
merely the less yield of milk during this
period, for the best of food given after
wards will not recover the full flow of

even snort time, means a less production

suicidal to the pocket to let the COW depend

SUNFLowERs.-They are rich in honey
and are consequently good neighbors fol-
bees. Oil, hardly to be distinguished from
Olive oil by any one but an expert, may
be extracted from the seeds, in the proper
ton of one gallon to one bushel. One
acre will produce something like fifty
bushel of seeds. The seeds, too make
food, not unpalatable for human beings
and very good for animals and poultry
The Portuguese and the American Indians
make kind of bread from them, and
roasted they may be ground and used as d
substitute for coffee. The stalks may be
used as bean poles while growing. Dry,
they make passable roofs for sheds anG

crown all, it has a reputation which the

districts, fever and ague.

The GIFT OF THE NILE Did you ever
hear that rivers made presents to the
world?
l never heard it until to-day But it
seems that they do. The land of Egypt
was u gift of the river Nile 1t was in
this way: Once this country, now so fer
tile, was nothing but barren desert, like
that of the Great Sahara, which lies near
it. The river Nile had to flow through
this desolate country to get to the sea, and
every year brought down from the rich
land of Abyssnia as much fertile soil as
he could carry, and overlooking his banks,
spread it all over the sandy desert as far
as he could reach. By doing this year
after year, he turned the desert into a fruit
full land Sometimes he would bring
down SO much rich soil that he would
have more than he could spread on the
sandy plain. This he would take down
and drop into the sea, Until at last in the
course of ages, he has built up here a
triangular piece of very fertile land, call
ed the Delta of the Nile The whole has
formed very rich present to the world.

commonly as distemper. is nothing serions
The swelling which appears at the iunc-
ton OF the jaws and throat will in time
break of itself and disappear. The only
treatment necessary is to give the colt soft

10 such an extent as to threaten partial
sunocatlon, it may be opened with a lancet

separating it may be fastened by rnb.

JUNE.-The oftener you can stir the soil
among the growing crops this month the
better. 1t destroys the weeds, which now
shoot up rapidly; it loosens the surface
and prevents any injury from drought; it
promotes the growth of plants in various
ways. Therefore start up the horse cult
vator. You will find that it saves great
dead of hand labor. Sow plenty of corn
for fodder in drills. 1t is great conven-
fence in the dry and hot days of August
and early In September, and it has the adj
vantage that in case it is not all needed it
may be cured and used in winter Of all
our fodder, or soiling plants, Indian corn
is the best and most productive, and the
farmer who neglects to SOW an acre or two
has not got his eyes open to modern i'm
provements. Ruta bagas may 90 in rs late

You may fill vacant patches with them,

and cured for fodder, you may plough up

ing of superphosphate and plaster, and
raise a capital crop of ruta bagas, that will
fill up the cart, and the cellar to, in the
month of November, to an extent beyond
calculation. Nothing like good supply

To STIFFEN LINEN.-Such articles as
collars, cuffs, &C., which require to be
made very stiff, should be starched in the
following way Mix tablespoonful of
starch with enough cold water to make
it smooth, then turn on enough boiling
water, and boil it ten minutes then add a
bit of white wax the size of cent piece,
and Il teaspoonful of alcohol. The spirit
is to increase the stiffness and help to re-
tain it. The wax is to prevent the starch
from sticking to the iron. If the fat-iron
still sticks to the starch, rub hard soap
gently over the bottom of the iron Put
the collars, cuffs ETC., into tin pan and
place il a warm spot by the stove or range
to become very dry before putting away.

highly of the use of oil of vitriol for Grad

used by chemists in laboratories, &c. One

very tritling cost. If the glass stopper in

therefore the operator is not so likely to
waste the acid or throw it over his clothes,
as would otherwise be the case If the
acid can be procured pure, it may be con-
siderably diluted with water, in some cases
quite one-half, and it will be sufficiently
strong for all weed-killing purposes

HARRY's CHICKENS. - Sammy Brent
lived way down South, " and was Just Il,
full of mischief us Il boy of thirteen could
be. One evening he came home after a
ramble through the woods and by the river
and asked his brother Harry, who was
eight years younger than himself
Harry, wouldn't you like to have some
funny chickens -
I'm just sure l would" answered
Harry.
Well, yoa take these three eggs and
put them IN Il box of sand and set it in the
sun, and after a while you'll have three of
the funniest chickens you ever saw
Harry followed his brothers directions.
and morning, noon, and night, he might
be seen watching for his brood to poke
their bills up out of the sand. At last, one
hot day, just before noon, the sand began
to move, and the queerest kind of Il chick
en- came out. 1t had long, horny bill, a
long, flat body without feathers or winrs
four feet, and u tail nearly as long as its
body. AS soon as Harry's excited ewes
could see clearly he exclaimed: oh. Oh i,
its Il alligator. it's a alligator come out of
an egg
If Harry had been little older he would
have known that the alligators bury their
eggs in the sand and wait for the sun TO
hatch them, and as soon as the Young alli-
gators appear, the mother conducts them
to the Water.-Hearh and Home.

LIME WATER FOR WASP STINGs.-Dr
Danverne writes to French journal that
some time ago he was stung on the head
and face by number of wasps. The pain
was great, and he had no ammonia at hand
nor was there druggist near by. Recol-
lecting the fact that lime water was good
for burns, it occurred to him to try it for
the relief of the burning sensation pro-
duced by the stings. 1t answered the pur-
pose perfectly, and he has since advised it's
use in some twenty cases of wasp stings.
and it has always caused an instant ces-
sation of the pain. The remedy is SIM
pie one, and worth making a note Of"

A farmer gives. in the Western Rural
a method by which, he Claims, both time
and labor are saved in planting cabbages
Instead Of the old style, he puts two Oh
three seeds directly in a hill about the
usual time of transplanting, when the
weather and ground are warm. The
plants come up quickly, and where the
hill brings forth over one plant the excess
is transplanted to those which have proved
barren through poor seed or cut worm.
The hills are then thoroughly cultivated,
hoed twice and kept clean and mellow.
