Mellow Soil around Trees.

Unless the surface Of the ground
is muIched around young trees over
an area of six or ten feet in diameter,
the ground should be kept clean and
mellow. Every farmer knows that a
hill of corn or potatoes Will not
amount to much unless cultivated,
and vet there are many who will ne
glect to give the same care to Il tree
which is worth Il hundred hills of
either Of the former.
In rich soil trees may grow rapidly
without cultivation, and no amount
of grass or weeds will retard them;
but there are other things besides
growth to be looked after. If the
weeds and grass are allowed to grow
up around the stems of apple, peach,
or ounce trees, the bark will become
soft near their base by being shaded,
and thereby be in a suitable oondi-
ton for the reception of the eggs
which will eventually become peach
or apple borers.
Take any dozen young apple trees
in the sections where the apple-borer
is abundant, and allow portion to
be choked with weeds and the re-
maindcr well cultivated, and then
watch the result. From our own cx-
perence, we believe that the chances
are nine to one in favor of those cul-
tivated being exempt from this pest.

Obstacles to Success of Our Agricul-
tural Fairs.

The managers of an agricultural
fair finds the whole enterprise full Of
difficulties. Nothing but unyielding
persistence can carry them success
fully through it. Competitors for
premiums in the exhibition of various
products are naturally anxious and
restless. Some are even suspicious
and easily dissatisfied. The mere re-
cording, within a few hours, of vast
number of entries, all in the proper
classes, is in itself a serious under
taking, and requires rapid and sue
cessful execution. Scores Of trouble
some questions in the assignment of
places or adjustment of police duties,
spring up at once and demand instant
settlement. a cool head, a quick
Judgment, capacity to gather rapid.
ly a wide variety Of details, and with
al a uniform atfability of manner
these are qualities that are indispen-
sable to the presiding officer. The
Secretary, too, needs power Of quick
disccrnment, not much unlike that OF
an officer Of the field, and even with
the wisest and impartial Judgment
not few who fail to take premiums,
leave the ground with more bitterness
than goodwill.
But of all the obstacles to complete
success IN the holding of fairs, the
lack of experts for judges is by fal
the most serious. 1t is the clear right
of the exhibitor that the comparative
merit of the article he displays, should
be settled by men who are adopts IN
that particular line of productions
and who are, moreover, honest and
disinterested. But very large ma
jority, if not all the experts who ut
tend a county or state fair, are exhib
itors, and, consequently, cannot act
in the capacity Of Judges. Mere Wis
itors, even If competent, are general
ly reluctant to enter upon a task
which is often to the last degree, mic.
and delicate. For these reasons it is
frequently a IIerculean undertaking
to find men for the most important
viewing committees who are, at once
thoroughly posted Oh the matter il
hand and who will be thoroughly i'm
partial in their :; wards.
Three years ago we earnestly urged
the directors Of the State Agrio ultura
Society, to meet this embarrassment
i'll the department Of pure bred cat
tie, by appointing, at the winter
meeting, sufficient number Of wei
known, non-exhibiting br, elders tol
Judges at the next State Fair anC
offering sufficient remuneration to
secure their attendance. We canno,
conceive ofany other adequate remed.
for this serious drawback to the com
plete success OF these important helps
to industry, and we hope one day tt
see it adopted.-P'ogressice Farm

Hens Eating Eggs--A Cure

4 correspondent of the Poultry
Bulletin says:
Having seen the question asked
how to cure hens from eating eggs,
and having been put TO my wits end
to devise some means to stop them, |
finally, by accident, hit upon plan
that have never known to fail
One great trouble with MANY breed
ers is, they make their hens nests too
large, and with Brahmas and Cochins
the nests are near the ground, and in
many cases the eggs are i'll view OF
the hen. This was the case with my
nests. Having tried every available
stuff, such as pepper, mustard, turpen-
tine, and everything | could hear of,
but no cure, then took Il common
nail-keg, cut it in two, or Il piece
about eight inches high, and placed
it in the box where the hens laid. |
then put in an egg; the old hen
mounted the nest or keg and tried to
reach the egg, standing on the edge
OF the keg, but 1t was no go; she then
got down in the keg, but that was a
failure, for she did not have room to
get ut the egg; after trying for some
time she gave it up as a bad job.
| have never had an egg eaten by the
hens since then; all of the nests in
my coops have piece of key in the
box, and have parts of kegs for nests.
Do not make them too deep, but deep
enough so the hen cannot reach the
bottom when standing on the edge
of the keg. You that are troubled
with hens eating their eggs, try the
plan; it costs but little, and | think
you will never regret the trouble it
will be to outwit the old hen.

There should be an effort made by
Iowa butter makers to supply the
Western or Mountain States market.
But before they make a very extern.
sive arrangement for this purpose,
it is very important to prepare to
make good butter. A large portion
of the butter to supply the Denver
market comes from New York and
Elgin, Illinois, while we ship many
tons to New York. There is no
necessity for these long railroad
freights if the butter trade was ork-
ed w both in manufacturing and
mark ting, A butter dealer at Den
yer wants, each year, between the
first of November and May, four
hundred thousand pounds, large
portion OF which Is supplied from
Kansas, of u very inferior quality.
And that city for the balance of the
year buys about twice that amount
from east Of the Mississippi. The
average price for butter at Denver
for the poor article from Kansas is
about twenty-eight cents. And that
from New York, Ohio and Elgin,
about ten cents a pound more. Here
is Il market, Of which Denver is only
II specimen, which should be suppl
| from first-class butter factories from
Iowa. But it is too late 4 day for any
merchant to buy up the inferior but
ter from the farms to supply the city.
There is no uniformity in such but
ter and consequently it can never
sell Oh its reputation. With the id
vance improvements in the manu-
facturc OF butter ut The factories, far
merS. wives cannot afford to make
butter ut home. The additional price
which can be obtained for tilst-cass
butter from II factory, will pay for
/ the trouble and expense of taking the
milk to the factory, and sooner or
late all butter and cheese making will
have to come to this. When making
butter and cheese in II small way
on farm, it will not pay to have the
conveniences, arrangements aud ma
chinery, which can be had at Il large
factory There is room in Iowa for
hundreds of these factories, and it
Is time to pnt Il stop to States west of
us, going across our State to the
Eastern States to buy butter State

RE AID THE
VERY CAREFULLY:

nR. CRUMB, established for many years in
IL Buffalo, by an entirely system Of medi-
cation treats successfully Catarrh, Bronchitis, and
diseases Of the Lungs, Liver and Kidneys, also
Difficulties of Confidential Nature, wherein skill
and experience are required. Dr. Crumb has de-
veloped practice which, from its unparalleled
success in thousands of cases, many Of a very ag
gravaed character, is able to positively guarantee
perfect and permanent cure in every case he
undertakes. He sends no circulars or treatises on
these diseases to his patients, as it is undeniable
that such knowledge is in general extremely pre-
judicial exercising an injurious effect by retardng
a cure, tending to alarm the patient which is the
object of7such productions, and excites and ex-
aggerates his fears to the durability of his COM
plant. The Doctor requires simply brief history
of the case and candid, plain statement of the
present symptoms-a thorough examination will
then be inside and if considered remediable-a
sincere. conscientious opinion will be given
promptly and such medicine as will be applicable
will be sent by express, accompanied by full and
explicit advice and directions. Charges very rea-
sonable and within the reach of all, and success
guaranteed. (Such cases as have failed under
other treatment particularly desired. All letters
must enclose 81 90 for consultation fee and cor
respondence during treatment, and addressed to

Domestic Economy.

VINEGAR PIE.--Beat up one egg
with six tablespoonfuls of sugar, three
spoons of vinegar, four spoons of wa
ter, one spoon of flour. TO be baked
with one crust.
To detect adulteration in tea, burn
the ashes. Pure tea, of any grade,
will not leave over five per cent. of
ashes, while the adulterated article
will yield as high as torty-five per
cent.
To CLEAN ENAMELED LEATHER
Water is sufficient to remove any dirt
which impairs the gloss on enimcled
leather. 1t may afterwards be rub
bed with a dry flannel.
Butter can be kept in warm wealth
er by setting it under a dish contain
ing an unglazed earthenware crock,
inverted. Wrap wet cloth around
the covering vessel, and place the
whole where there is Il draught of
air.
TAPIocA JELLY.-Wash !. teacup
full of tapioca, soak it three hours in
cold water, turn off the water and
pour over it one quart OF boiling wa
ter. Add a grated peel of one lemon;
sweeten to taste and boil for one
hour.
To clean an oil painting that is in
jured by dust and PARTICLES Of wrap
ping paper, take the picture out of
the frame, lay coarse towel over it
for ten or fourteen days; keep it con
tinually wet until it has drawn out
all the filthiness from the picturc;-
pass some linsecd oil which has been
long time seasoning over It, III the
sunlight, to purify it, and the picture
will become rs lively on the surface
