SULPHUR FoR FowLs.-There is no
remedy and assistant so easily and
cheaply obtained, so harmless to the
fowls, or SO satisfactory in its results
as sulphur. It being in the system Of
animals to small degree, there is a
greater affinity for it than there other
wise would be. 1t can be administered
to the fowls by having it in small box,
so that they can help themselves, or by
mixing it with their food once week,
or as often as there are indications OF
vermin. Penetrating, as it does, to
every part of the system, all parasites
are quickly and surely destroyed. Also
gapes are said to be prevented in chick
ems. Fowls need ii more than most ami
mais, their feathers containing between
four and five per cent. OF sulphur
Their eggs also, have small quantity,
which is noticed by the Giscolorlng OF
silver spoon when it comes in contact
with boiled egg. Applied externally
to the fowls when on the nest, to the
nest itself, or mixed with the soil IN
the busting box, it is eqnally efiicacious
in destroying vermin. To be ased as
fumigater of buildings, it is necessary
to remove the fowls, close the room or
house, mix little saltpetre with the
sulphur in an iron vessel, and apply a
match TO the mixture. This should be
done iu the morning, and the doors
and windows opened in the afternoon
for thorough ventilation. Lard mixed
with sulphur in proper proportions and
applied as often as necessary to the
feathers on the neck and back of young
and old turkeys. is very good safe
guard against the ravages of foxes.
For our own profits and the comfort of
the fowls, let us then use sulphur or
remedies of like nature.

DESTROYING IHE BARK LoUSE.
are several species of bark lice, all more
or less injurious to plants upon which
they live, and some are rather difficult
to destroy. The particular species IN
Testing the apple tree CAspidtOtus CON
chifOrmis can usually he destroyed by
thoroughly Washing the bark with a
potash I've. The "scale bug" which in
tests the orange tree (c0cus cjtr) Is
very similar in its habits to the apple
bark-louse, but is more difficult to kill.
A vigorous use of soapsuds seems to be
only transient remedy The applica-
tion of alcohol is also transient In its
results. Lately this insect has made
its appearance in the orange orchards
in Los Angeles Valley, California, in
juring the quality of the fruit to some
extent, and threatening to destroy the
trees. Some of the leading orange cul-
turists in that locality have been exper-
imeDting on the effects of the various
remedies that have been from time to
time suggested, and, according to a
card which they have published in the
Los Angeles Herald, have succeeded
in finding a sure remedy. The princi-
pal ingredient In the remedy used is
carbonic acid gas, and it is applied 10y
the use of an ordinary portable 'fre-
extinguisher, The strength of an or
binary charge is simply reduced, and it
is applied directly to the trees. The
inventor lays no claim to any patent,
and the CalifOrnians say that any of the
common patent extinguishers can be
successfully used.

SULPHERIC ACID AND WEEDS. cor
respondent of the journal Of HOrtic"t-
hlre (English) writes Take an old
backing bottle, with wire around 1t
to mold it by, and stick to dip with.
The stick should not be pointed, but
should be notched round for an inch or
two at the end, the better to hold the
liquid. Just one drop in the heart is
sufficient to cause death, and the
notched stick will contain at one dip
enough to destroy three or four plants.
If the acid is good, the work of death
can be both seen and heard, for the Wit
riol misses, and it burns up the plan
tain in moment. 4 row of plantains
a foot wide sprang up on lawn here,
where an iron fence formerly ran. The
owner seeing at place he visited the
good effect of yitrol, put the hint into
practice. The plantains were killed in
IN an hour, and have never appeared
again, 1t is three years ago, and 1t is
impossible to recognize the line of the
fence 1t completely burnt the roots out.
/ have tried it on large dandelions
with the same result. One of the
young gentlemen here amused himself
by hunting out the longest thistle he
could find to experiment on; the Wit
riol completely killed them by eating
the roots up. One drop will do. Care
is required that it does not touch the
skin, or clothes. 1t is not safe in the
hands of children, but man or woman
with ten minutes practice can kill plan
tains much more quickly than any lad
can eat gooseberries.

An AMUSING CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT.
Place five glasses in a row, then pour
into the first solution of potassium,
the second a solution of corrosive
sublimate, the third small quantity of
iodide of potassium and some oxalate
of ammonium, the fourth a solution of
chloride of calcium, and the fifth some
sulphide of ammonium. Now pour
part of the contents of the first glass
into the second, and a scarlet color
Will be obtained next pour the second
into the third, and the mixture will be
colorless; again, pour the third into
the fourth, and the contents will be
white finally, pour the fourth into the
fifth, and the mass will be a dense

glasses colorless, one scarlet, one white
and one Enthusiastically american.

APPLEs are excellent food for horses,
and indeed for any kind of live stock
that will eat them. The windfalls,
such as are not useful for cider, should
certainly be promptly gathered and fed
to stock. For swine they are better
cooked but horses will eat and thrive
upon them fed as they come from un-
der the trees. II the thousands oi
bushels of windfalls could have been
fed to stock, it would have perceptibly
reduced the revages of the coddling
moth in the orchards next year. Per
sistent effort in this direction year af-
ter year would surely result in better
and fairer fruit and in healthier stock.

INVISIBLE ISK-If We write with a
very dilute solution of chloride of
copper, which has scarcely more color
than pure water, the characters are
invisible but if gently heated, they
become distinctly yellow, and are easily
read. Let the paper cool, and they
vanish and they may be made to
appear and disappear an indefinite
number of times. IL heated too
strongly, the compound is decomposed
and the writing becomes permanently
brown from the deposition of the cop
per. The chloride of copper may be
conveniently made by mixing solutions
of ammonia chloride (sal ammoniac)
and of cupric sulphate (blue vitrioD.
The change of color in this and
kindred cases is due to the removal of
the water of crystslization by the heat.
In chemical combination with the
water, the salt is transparent without
the water, it is Opaque. The salt, being
very deliquescent, rapidly absorbs
moisture from the air when cool.

ACTION OF OIL.-Timber free from
oil, as oak or maple, when soaked in
kerosene and saturated in part with it,
thenceforth becomes somewhat of the
nature of the resinous woods, which
are very durable. Its action upon
leather is not so favorable. As it
rapidly evaporates, it "dries mp the
leather and causes it to crack. Then
water or moisture is admitted and the
leather is injured. The non-drying
animal oils are the best preservstives
of leather.

WooD ASHES AS A FERTILIZER.-Every
farmer knows the value of wood ashes
as fertilizer, and it is generally sup
posed that it is owing to the potash
they contain. But the fertiliZing prop
critics alone, for if all the potash is
leached ont of the ashes, it is still a
good fertilizer, but not as good as be
fore teaching. What then remains in
the ashes after the potash is extracted !?
Nine ont of the ten minerals that all
plants take from the ground, and re-
quire for their support, viz: Soda,
manganese, phosphorus, lime. Leach
ed wood ashes, therefore, simply re-
quire a supply of nitrogen (ammonia),
and the potash extracted returned to
them again to make it one of the very
best of concentrated lime.

AYRSHIRE CATLLE.-The Ayrshire is
a fixed and established breed which has
been frequently imported into this
country, and has exerted marked in
fuence upon the stock of our dairy
farms. The Ayrshire makes good
cross with the common stock of the
country and with the short horns but
a cross with the Alderney is not to be
recommended on account of size.
The form and structure of the COW,
from the muZzle to the tail, indicate
that she possesses qualities which
adapt her, IN an eminent degree, to the
purposes of the dairy. Her head is
small, with long and narrow muzzle ;
her eyes, sparklingly and lively, her
horns usually small, clear and crooked,
and set well apart at the roots. Her
neck is long and slender, small towards
the head. and free from the dewlaps.
Her shoulders are thin, her forequar-
tiers light, and her hindquarters large
and well developed, giving her often a
sort of wedge shape appearance, which
is universally regarded among dairy
men as sign of great mixer.
The Ayrshires have been bred chiefly
for milk, and will probably yield a
greater quantity for the food consumed
thai any other breed. There is DO race
that can equal the AyrshIres in guam
tity of milk f; 1t being generally estima-
mated at from 80 to 80 pounds per day.
