BREAKING UP A SITTING uEN.

A friend of ours told us, the other day,
how his wife cures hens of sitting, and as
1t is very novel way we will repeat it for
the benefit of others who are bothered with
inveterate old sitters. This lady had a
hen that was bound to sit; the lady was
bound she should not She would shut up
the old hen one day, and when released
back she would go to her sitting. Patience
finally gave out. Picking up some splin-
tiers from the chip yard (some four or five
inches long, she bound them firmly to the
hens legs, leaving only the hip joints in
working order. Biddic was outwitted.
Like the old Dutchman's hen she would
have to sit standing up.

CHOOSING MATCHING EGGS.

A contemporary says eggs for Matching
should be chosen of the fair average size
usually laid by the hen they are from;
any unusually large or small being reject
ed. Some hens lay immensely large eggs,
and others small one. A fat hen will al
ways lay small eggs, which can only pro-
duce small and weakly chickens. Absolute
size in eggs is, therefore, of but little i'm
portance. Round, short eggs are usually
the best to select; very long eggs, espec-
tally if much pointed at the small end, al
most always breed birds with some awk-
wardncss in style or carriage. Neither
should rough-shelled eggs be chosen; they
usually show some arrangement of the or
gans, and are often sterile. Smooth she'll
ed eggs alone are proper for Matching. 1t
is farce to suppose that the sex Of bird
can be determined by the shape of the
egg

THE POTATO ROT.

The Chemical News ascribcs the potatoe
rot to deficiency of lime and magnesia
in the soil. Different observers state the
percentage of magnesa in the ash of sound
tubers at from five to ten per cent ; in the
diseased tubers an analysis shows only 1874
per cent. Analysis of sound tubers shows
over five per cent. of lime, but in the ash
of diseased tubers only III per cent. was
found. A similar observation was made
some years ago by Professor Thorpe, with
regard to diseased and healthy orange trees /;
in the former there was a deficiency Of lime
and magnesia.

NALIlE OLE CHIPS AND lark

The chips and bark which accumulate
around saw mill, if partly rotted, are
valuable when ploughed into the soil We
have found such a matter n nuisance when
spread upon grass land, but when spread
thickly upon an orchard in which a crop of
potatoes was planted, the potatoes were
thickest and largest where there were the
most chips. For use upon grass land we
would spread the stuff out TO dry partly
and then rake it into heaps and burn it to
ashes, spreading them upon the surface.
In this way it would be very valuable, and
if from hard wood, would pay to haul it.

BRAIN WORK ON THE FARM.

As an element of success in making the
farm pay, mind having good practical
turn plays no triumphant part. Good,
sound common sense will do more than any
one thing to put money in the farmer $
purse, or, better, but it in permanent i'm
provements. Fixed and definite line of
action, founded on the experience Of the
most successful farmers in ones county,
will, with due diligence and economy, re-
suit in making the farm pay. AS a rule,
the farmer who thinks, studies, reasons,
and who can tell why he pursue a certain
course, is the one that will be found to
complain least in regard to hard times. If
a man who has good health and fair ability
cannot succeed on farm, he will be al
most certain to fail If he attempts anything
else. Farmers should have an eye to bust
ness. The writer of this has often been
impressed with the belief that the most
successful farmers are those who lie awake
and mature plans for the coming day, or
week. while others sleep. There is a great
deal in tact, but there is also great deal
in letting the brain do its share of the work.
The farmer who will never think that it is
better to feed his corn to sock, and there
by increase its value threefold, than to
haul it to the station in the ear, and sell il
for almost song, should not expect to sue.

PLANTING STRAWBERRIES

writer in the Cottage Gardener de-
scribes a method by which he obtains early
results from planting strawberries. He
first allowed the runners to form mass of
rooted plants. These he took up with a
spade, three inches deep, and in blocks
nine inches square, the work being neatly
done by cutting them by lines. In awell-
prepared bed these blocks were set eighteen
inches apart, in trenches dug two feet apart.
The roots not being injured in the least,
the crop was excellent. We have adopted
a similar plan, cutting smaller blocks, with
single strong plants to each. They were
set out in spring, and, the plants being
checked none, the bed bore a fair crop OF
ripe berries six weeks after setting. If the
operation is well performed, beds might be
set in autumn without danger of the plants
suffering by the freezing of winter, a slight
covering of evergreens being given.

Cost Of Fences.
commerce.

In Georgia the people are to be called
upon this fall to decide upon the fence
question. And General w. M. Brown, a
vice President of the State Agricultural
Society, has written long letter upon the
subject in compliance with the request of
several leading farmers of Clark county,
where he resides, in which the following
startling tacts are presented to the con-
Sideration Of the public. He says that in
that county there are fifty thousand miles
Of fence, making, at eight feet to the pan
mel, thirty-three million panels, costing at
40 cents per panel, $4,000, 900, and as
fences have to be renewed every seven
years, involving an annual outlay Of 81, 1886,
TIA, and all this to keep out Of the crops,
few cattle, sheep and hogs, worth at the
outside $2OO, 900. The fences ofthis coun-
try arc valued at nearly $4,000, 900, 000.--
In Illinois alone 90, 600, 900 will hardly Gov
er the expense. In Nebraska a fencing
law adapted TO the needs of the country has
been adopted. The law throws upon every
owner of live stock the onus of keeping his
stock from straying into his neighbor's
crops. The owner need not build fences
about his crops because the law "fencei
out' stock. This is done at present by

HoIdInr hack the Crons.

The Philadelphia Ledger says that it is
understood that portion Of western wheat
growers are holding back their crop fol
higher prices, and some think this fact is
one cause for the present depression in bust
ness. That'the policy is bad one, as the
rule, no careful observer can question:
When waste and interest on the capital re-
quired to carry crop is considered, it is
not difficult to see that chances of profit
from the hold-back policy are few and far
between. The interest on his capital is of
as much Importance to the farmer as to the
banker. The steadily declining price of
wheat at London and Liverpool, together
with the small shipments from Philadelphia,
are evidences that this only foreign market
is slipping away from us aud being suppli-
cd from other sorces-not unlikely by the
same nations which were last year its COM
petitors in the buying from us. We see it
published that there are in store at New
York this time some 100000 bushels of
wheat, against only 100000 bushels one
year ago, and if shipments do not soon in
crease there is probability that by the
close of navigation that city will hold the
extraordinary stock of over g. 900, 900 bush
els, against the average of less than 1000,
900 bushels This state of affairs does not
indicate any permanent improvement in the
price of wheat for the remainder Of this
year, but rather tends toward even lower
prices for such as will find its way to mar
ket at any price: this, in turn, will only
tighten the grip of the "hoding-on class"
SO that depression and prostration of all
the interests depending on and connected
with the wheat-growing section may as
well be accepted as the rule for another
twelve month"; Had this crop Of wheat
been properly marketed until Great Britain
would take no more, it would have infused
new life into all the industries and trades
of the country and have contributed to-
wards the liquidation of the foreign debt.
AS it is, except for our own needs, the whole
crop mightas well have been grasshoppered
80 far as it is fany benefit to the country.
1t is the locking up of so much capital,
which should be freely circulating, impart-
ing life and vigor through all the veins of
commerce.

MEMORABLE FARM.-In looking over
an ancient history of the valley of Vir-
ginia, BY Samuel Kircheval, We notice
the farm of Mr.. E. 81. Friend, lying at
the mouth of the Conococheage creek,
immediately opposite of this town, is a
most memorable farm. In 1886 this
history, says a most bloody battle was
fought at the mouth Of the Conoco-
chicago, on Friends farm, between the
Delaware and Catawba tribes Of Indians
in which but one Delaware escaped
death, and that by running into Friends
house when the family shut the door,
and kept the Catawbas out, by which
means the poor fugitive was saved.
And. although one hundred and thirty
eight years have passed away since that
bloody affray between the savages, the
farm still Lelaags to family of Friends

ancient family fot we are unable to
say.-Wiiliamspoft Pilot.

A LIVELY SCENE IN THE SMITHSONIAN
GRoUNDs.-The Washington Star says:
In the Smithsonian grounds on Sunday
last quite an exciting scene took place
on one of the main walks. Among those
sauntering about were young couple
who, from their appearance seemed to
be either newly married or mighty near
that happy event, their steps being slow
with Joined hands and low conversation.
While so engaged, oblivious of all the
rest of mankind, a good-looking and
well-dressed young woman appeared
upon the scene, skulking behind the
clusters of trees and bushes, but with
her eyes fixed fiercely upon the loving
couple.
Approaching a group at one OF the
benches, she excitedly asked how long
that man and woman had been walking
about there, pointing to them in dis
tant path through the branches. The
answer was that they had been there
for some time. She bit her lips and
said that was her husband, and it look
ed very suspicious. Watching for a
convenient moment she darted like a
deer toward them, the sound of her
starched, skirts resembling street
sweeping machine, and almost before
they knew what vas in the wind she
had the truant husband by the arm, and
the word "hussey" Kissed through her
lips as she tried to get her hands in the
hair of the strange female, who caught
up her skirts and made hasty retreat
across the high grass to another path,
giving several disdainful tosses Of the
head, while the wife led her erring hus-
band by the shoulder out of the ground
by the way of Tenth street, o sumber
Of curious observers following with the
expectation that she would duck him in
the frog pond.
