A ScarecrOW.

Iris well known that blue and scarlet
cOlors in juxtaposition cause dazzling
effect on the eye. These colors strung
on a line and placed over strawberry
beds produce puzzling effect on birds,
and no bird will enter the garden while
these colors futter in the air. Pieces OF
blue and scarlet calico should be cut
about one and half feet in length, and
tied to a line one foot apart. An old
flannel petticoat will supply large guam
tity of inexpensive scarlet strips.
This line is to be supported by poles
six feet in height from the strawberry
beds. To support strawberries, keeping
them clean and enabling them to ripen
all round, take piece of stout wire a
yard in length, bend it at right angles ten
inches from each end, bend the space
between the right angles into a curve.
Stamp these two ends six inches in depth
into the earth close to the strawberry
plants, then draw the fruit over the wire,
each plant requiring two. To prevent
rusting, place the wires in creosote three
or four days and then dry them.-Gar-
dener's Monthly.

Learning Of One Another.

WE have heard it objected against
farmers clubs that the poorest practical
farmers are often the greatest takers
there. This may be in measure true of
some farmers clubs. But supposing that
poor, unsuccessful farmers do sometimes
essay to instruct others through farmers
clubs. or through agricultural journals?
Because man is unwise, or unsuccess-
full in the general management of farm,
does it follow that he may not be judi
cious and successful in certain branches?
A farmer may be unsuccessful in his
method of growing wheat, or other
grains, and yet succeed very well in rails
ing potatoes, and his experience and di-
rections may be of value to his brother
farmers. Another may fail generally in
growing grain and vegetables, but sue
coed with grasses, and in keeping and
fattening stock. We doubt whether
there are many farmers so poor managers
in all departments that they cannot i'm
part something from their experience
that shall be of benefit to others, and
even to good farmers.
But what if a farmer is entirely I'M
successful IN everything he undertakes,
is 1t possible for good farmers TO learn
anything from him? If he will candIdly
relate his experience, yes. The MIS-
takes, the misdeeds, the failures of the
bad are quite as often used to suggest
lessons of wisdom to the young as the
good deeds and righteous living of the
Rural Home.

the day when the most bees are out
take a frame of brood with adhering bees
and the queen-be sure of the latter
put them in the new hive and set the
new hive where the old one stood, re-
moving the latter some distance away to
a new stand. The new hive should be
filled with empty comb and the old one
furnished with young queen or queen
cell. If the old hive should not have
old bees enough to keep the young bees
Matching, more should be given it. The
new hive will do well enough without at
tention after the missing card of comb
has been supplied.
Those who have had colonies die
through the winter should carefully pre-
serve the comb. This can be done by
hanging them in a cool, well-ventilated
apartment, first cleansing them of dead
bees and other impurities. If put in a
damp place they mold, and mice will de-
your them unless hung out of their
reach. Moth-worms can be destroyed
by exposing them to the fumes of burn
ing birthstone; no material injury results
to the comb.-Ohi0 Farmer.

Buried Alive.

AN undertaken of this city tells story
of what would seem to be case of pre-
mature burial, which makes ones blood
chill while he reads. During the months
of January and February, on account of
the unusual severity of the cold, the
dead taken to the City Cemetery were
deposited in vaults until the ground had
thawed sufficiently to permit the digging
of graves. For the past four weeks,
therefore, the various undertakers have
been busy interring these bodies, and in
many instances curiosity has prompted
them to open such collins as were COW
cred by an inner facing of glass. Among
others SO opened was that of an elderly
lady who died in January and whose re-
mains had been carefully deposited in
its casket and removed with great care
to the vault. When the cover was raised
three days ago, however, to the horror
of the bystanders it was discovered that
the body, instead of lying in natural
position, with its face upward, had
turned nearly upon its face, while the
shroud was disarranged- Other evidence
also revealed the fact that struggle
had taken place on the part of
the unwilling occupant of the coffin.
The hands were clenched, the eyes
fixed with horrid stare and the knees
bent. But the strong walnut coffin, with
ltS row OF SItVeT-ncaQcub CIcWS anu uauO-
some handles, with wrought gripes, did
the work which disease seems to have
left undone. Weakened by sickness and
old age, the poor woman could not break
from her narrow home, or, by her muff1ed
rappings, attract the attention of some
passers-by. How dreadful must have
been the sensation of the unfortunate
victim as she awoke to consciousness and
found herself numbered and living with
the dead! The terrible affair gives rise
to a thousand thoughts as unpleasant as
the air which fills the charnel-house. The
Sentinel says:
"There have been cases. it is true,
of bodies being turned over in collins by
a rude shock or sudden jar, but this n.y.
pothesis will scarcely hold true in this
case, where the body was carefully taken
and laid in vault. Too much care can
not be taken to guard against premature
burials of this kind, especially in cases
of smallpox and contagious diseases, in
which a careful examination of the corpse
is often neglected" -Indianapolis Dis

Raising BrOOm.COrn.

A Central Iowa correspondent asks if
it will pay him to raise broom-corn, and
how to do it; and we answer: Whether
twill pay you we cannot tell; but. if you
have good, rich land, such as will pro-
duce fifty bushels of Indian corn per
acre, you need have no difficulty in rails.
ing good broom corn.
The cultivation of broom-corn requires
the expenditure of considerable labor
the seed is often slow in terminating,
and, if the land is weedy, considerable
trouble is experienced in clearing the
crop.
The seed is sown in various ways
sometimes by removing all the hoes of a
wheat-drill except those that will bring
the rows about three feet four inches
apart; sometimes the seed is sown with
one of the large Albany garden-drills :;
and sometimes with corn-planter. The
latter plan, however, leaves the rows too
far apart, unless the planter is made es-
pecially for the purpose. However sown,
it is necessary that the rows be perfectly
straight, and at equal distance apart
Drill plenty of seed, and thin to one or
two inches in the drill. The richer the
land and the thicker the stand, the finer
the brush.
AS soon as you can see the young
plants, go over with sharp harrow, with
teeth enough raised up SO that the corn
will not be injured. We have known
land to be entirely free from trash com
pletely narrowed before the seed ger
minated, to free it from weeds Just
started. Scrape the drills with sharp
iron, thinning the plants to the required
stand. Then cultivate with a common
walking cultivator, having narrow bull
tongue teeth in front, as directed some
time since for Corn. Work industriously
while the corn is young, and until the
crop is three feet high, or until it begins
to show signs of running to head. After
this time cultivation tends to make the
brush coarse.
When the seed is in the milk and before
it hardens is the proper time for cutting,
for then the brush is tough and has the
best color. Every day it is kept after
this Injuries the produce.
To prepare for cutting it must be
tabled, that is, bent over and crossed, so
that it will form tables about knee high
for holding the brush. This being done,
with a keen, thin knife cut the brush,
leaving stalk attached six or seven
inches in length, and lay them evenly on
the table for day to dry-the seed-ends
all one way.
day haul to the machine, scrape the seed
off and carry to the shed, arranged with
scaffoldings of poles for drying, spread
ing it almost two inches thick. When
thoroughly dry and properly cured it is
ready for baling and market.
If you have had no experience in the
cultivation of this crop the probability is
you will fail. Those who make the most
money from this crop raise large fields.
The cultivation requires considerable
help, and that just at the right time; a
machine for scraping the seed, sheds for
drying the brush and press for baling.
A knowledge also is required of the
proper time to handle the crop, and
other technical knowledge, which if you
do not possess you had better hire some
one who does before undertaking its
culture. Farm and Garden" in Chicago

The Carnatfon, Through a Micro scope.

IT is well known that the examination
of flowers and vegetables of every de-
scription by the microscope opens a new
and interesting field of wonders to the
inquiring naturalist. Sir John Hill has
given the following curious account of
what appeared ON his examining q car
nation: :" The principal flower in an ele-
CANT bouquet was carnation; the fra
GRANGE of this led me TO enjoy it frequent
and near. The sense of smelling was
not the only one affected on these oc-
casicns; while that was satisfied with
the powerful sweet the ear was constant

agreeable murmuring sound. 1t was
easy to know that some animal within

that the little noise must come from lit
tie creatures suited to produce it. in
stantly distended the lower part of a
flower, and placing it in a full light
could discover troops of little insects
frisking with wild jollity among the mar
row pedestals that supported its leaves
and the little threads that occupied its
center. What perfect security from
all annoyance in the dusky hush that
surrounded the scene of actioni Adapt

self an opportunity of contemplating
Wudt tucy WcIc dDOut, anu ILLS IOI many
days together, without giving them the
least disturbance. Thus could discover
their economy, their passions and their
enioyments. The microscope on this &C.
casion had given what nature seemed to
have denied to objects of contemplation.
The base of the flower extended itself un-
der its influence to a vast plain; the
stems of its slender leaves became trunks
of so many stately cedars; the threads in
the middle seemed columns of massey
structure, supporting at the top their sew
eral ornaments; and the narrow spaces
between were enlarged into walks, par
terres and terraces. On the polished bot
tom of these, brighter than Parian mar
BILE, walked in pairs, alone, or in large
companies, the winged inhabitants.
These, from little, dusky fiies-for such
only the naked eye could have shown
them-were raised to glorious, glittering
animals, stained with glossy gold that
would have made all the labors of the
loom contemplate in the comparison. l
could at leisure, as they walked together,
admire their elegant limbs, their velvet
shoulders and their silken wings; their
backs, vying with the empyrean in its
blue; and their eyes, each formed of a
thousand others, outglittered the little
planes on brilliant, above description,
and too great almost for admiration.

Action of Plaster,

A CORRESPONDENT of the Practical
Farmer, who has used plaster on his
farm for ten years, writes: 81 have re-
ceived most benefit from it on grass
lands and on corn. From pretty close
observation l have found its effect most
obvious in wet seasons, and have re-
peatedly observed no benefit in dry
season. I am no chemist but only a
reader of what chemists tell. No am
monia being present in the ordinary at
mosphere, but inasmach as it has been
detected in rain water, my theory is that
rain water coming in contact with the
sulphate of lime or plaster two new
combinations are formed. The carbon
ate of ammonia-a volatile Salts de-
composed. The sulphate of ammonia, a
non-volatile salt and valuable fertilizer,
is formed, on the one hand, and ON the
other carbonate of lime, also desirable
in many soils. I think l secure the ben
eft of plaster if its action is as described
by sowing it in the fall, during winter or
very early in the spring. The rains and
snow necessary for its active benefit are
thus secured; while if sown, as many of
my neighSors do, late in the spring, the
money which it costs is, in my opinion,
very often thrown away if dry season
occurs. One bushel and half to the
acre is the proper quantity-no more, no
less"

Channel Island Superstitfons.

SUPERSTITION is gradually losing its
hold, and much genuine and intelligent
piety doubtless exists in some of these
islands. But in the hamlets most re-
mote from town, and among the older
people, curious superstitions still obtain
belief. On Christmas night there are
some even in st. Peters Port who will on
no account go to a well to draw water.
Others will not venture into a stable at
midnight lest they should surprise the
cattle, asses and sheep on their knees
worshiping the infant Savior. A photog-
rapher is sometimes regarded as deal
ing in the black art, and some refuse so
far to compromise their character as to
allow themselves to be photographed.
In Guernsey, at st. George, is we'll
called Holy WE'LL" still visited by
damsels, for on the surface of its waters
maidens are said to be able to see the
faces of their future husbands. In Jer-
sey, near st. Clements, is the Witches
Rock, where, it is said, the witches hold
their Sabbath; the belief in witchcraft
is not entirely extinct here. The marks
on that rock are confidently asserted to
be the footprints made by his Satanic
majesty during the visits which, it is to
be feared, he makes quite too frequently
in Jersey as we'll as elsewhere.-S. g. W.

The Apfary.

BEEKEEPERs, as well as farmers, will
realize that the season is backward. The
severe winter, in many cases, has re-
peated the disastrous work of two and
three years ago, and stocks are in a
weak condition. They must have the
they need, and no more comb than they
can cover. The hive can be contracted
to the desired size by division board.
Heat, most important requisite in the
brood rearing season, is thus economical
and rendered subservient to the end de-
sired-an increase in the strength of the
colony; contracted entrances will also
add much in this direction. Feed daily
good strip made of white sugar, and add
cards of comb as the colony increases in
number. Commence feeding with small
doses, increasing slowly, as this pro-
notes brood-rearing most effectually.
After the bees have filled three or four
combs with brood it is a good plan to in
sert frame of empty worker comb be-
tween two of the middle ones. After
flowers come, and the bees can gather
honey in abundance, feeding may cease,
but on no account before. When feed
ing is once begun it must be kept up un-
til full natural supply is afforded
From now until the swarms come off
all the energies of the bees will be de-
voted to rearing brood and great deal
of the honey gathered or the feed given
them is turned to this purpose. Many
beekeepers do not think of this, and
hence colonies have been known to
starve during a protracted inclement
spell of weather, even after they have
apparently been gathering honey most
actively for longer or shorter period.
There are doubtless two causes for this
the one mentioned, viz: That the stores
gathered are consumed in brood rearing,
and the other is that the early flowers
do not furnish a very good supply and
the bees do not gather near as much as
their activity would lead us to suppose.
At all events prudence requires the ut
most vigilance, and when such weather
comes furnish feed promptly that the
zeal of the colony may not cease nor
their strength decline.
By the last of this month May, per-
haps, your stocks will be strong enough
to divide; they certainly will not be
ready much before that time in this lati.
tude. The simplest and easiest way to
do this, to avoid natural swarming, is
the "old way" viz: in the middle of

How to Work.

As order is kept by having place for
everything and keeping everything in its
place, so work succeeds best when it is
rightly done, and at the right time. There
are best and worst way of doing every
thing and best and worst time for doing
it. One who has well considered his sea-
sons work and has list of all that has to
be done, will go right; one labor will sue
coed another with regularity, and each
will be well done. Every job should tell.
There should be no making holes and fill
ing them up again on farm, no hand
work where machines can be used; no
small weeds left to grow large; no manure
kept wasting by the rain or baked in the
sun while crops are starving for it; no
work done twice over; no cattle starved or
allowed to suffer and fail, to he restored at
a greater cost than they are worth; every
thing should he ahead, and work must be
driven and not be allowed to drive. The
head must guide the hand always.-Pen

Cloek-Makins in tho Black Forest.

A French contemporary gives the fol-
lowing interesting account of clock-mak-
ing in the Black Forest, which industry is,
at the present day, concentrated in Dittis-
hansen, Eisenach, Furtwangen, st.
Georges, Leutzhirch, Neustadt, Friberg,
Villfnken, and Rohzenbach. Essentially
. domestic occupation at its origin, and
employing whole families, it is only thirty
years since watch and clock making have
been carried on in factories. Leutzhirch
produces . great number of what are
called PaIisian watches, the zinc for the
case being sent from Paris and gilded
here. The cases, wheels, and all the
necessary items are made separately, and
the work is divided into various kinds !;
the separate pieces are carried into the
workshops, where they are put together,
when the clocks are successfully mounted,
tested and regulated. The different sorts
Of clocks manufactured in the Black
Forest comprise: The clocks with weights !;
clocks in cases, among which are twelve
hour clocks, twenty -four-hour clocks,
eightday clocks, clocks which go for q
month, tower clocks, regulators, the spring
clocks Of English and French construc-
ton, ship clocks and figure clocks, among
which may be classed cuckoo and
trumpet clocks The importance of this
branch Of industry win be seen by the
numbefed 1 40 free manufacturers of
clocks and watches, employing 1926
hands, independent Of women and chill
dren, who were occupied in the small de-
tails; Il, 900 persons lived by this industry
alone. The number of articles produced
had risen IN 1874 to 1 800, 600, of which
100000 were Of 6rst-class workmanship.
