Women rs Poultry Raisers.

The special capacity of woman for
caring for pets is 50 we'll established that
it is matter of surprise that larger
number do not make their natural incli-
nation a matter of profit in the raising Of
poultry. There is no reason why women
NAV not be successful as men in this
branch of productive and profitable in
dustry. Indeed, when it is considered
that the business requires close attention
to minute details, patience and gentle
ness of manner, women seems to be
peculiarly fitted for the business. The
Danbury mans humorous description Of
the different ways in which woman and
man attempt to get hen into the coop,
and the superiority of the formers meth
cd, is as true as it is funny. After the
henuery or coop is built, there is no de-
partment of the work that a woman can
not perform without exhausting labor or
too heavy demands upon her time.
"Down South" poultry raising is woman
special department, and one need not 60
further south than Baltimore or Wash
ington to find the markets thronged with
the female vendors of their own feathered
products. That the business is profita-
BILE, the experience OF hundreds testities,
and that it is healthful, and may be at.
tractive is susceptible of demonstration.

Stock Pays all the Time.

The heading of this article, says the
Valley Farmer, was the remark of an old
farmer the other day while deploring the
failure of his wheat crop. "One year the
wheat fails, another year the oats fail,
another year the corn; but" says he,
'stock pays all the time" He moreover
remarked "that the farmers who early
gave their time to stock raising had gone
right along, without set-backs. and out
stripped the grain-growers." There is no
doubt but that there is much truth in
the old mans remarks. Stock is the
surest and most remunerative, but in
thickly settled regions it is better and SAT.
er to divide the interests between the two
The two assist each other and improve
the farm. Waste straw and offal of the
stock will go to fertilizing the soil and
its capacity for productive
ness. The strength of the soil is great
with the farmer. The soil
is the mine of wealth-his treasury, his
bank of deposit. He must keep it good
or his paper will be protested, his repu-
tation as farmer dishonored. 1t is we'll
to keep a variety of stock, rs we'll as
variety of grain crops. The general
profits of each year are thus kept nearly
equal. Farming may be done close
less wasted and more made.

STARTING THE TUBEROsEs.-In our
Northern States the summer is rather
too short for bringing the tube
roses to perfection, and it is frequently
the case that bulbs planted out in the
spring will scarcely commence blooming
before they are CIT off by the frosts of
autumn. Now, to hasten the blooming
and forward growth a few weeks, the
bulbs should be placed under conditions
which will excite the production of roots
and leaves in advance of the regular
planting season. This may be done in
the kitchen or other warm room, if no
better or more convenient place is al
Shallow boxes filed with
soil may be used for this purpose, the
bulbs being put in close together and
then watered occasionally as required.
Other kinds Of tender bulbs, such as the
and Tigridia, may be forced a
little in the same way, if earliness of
blooming is desired.

Flowers . Remedy.

A beautiful bunch of white flowers
was one day brought to dying lady
her face frightened up in moment and
q beautiful smile lighted up her counte-
nance as she expressed her gratitude
toward the friend, who herself was an
invalid, for her kind remembrance. Let
beautiful flowers he everywhere, on the
mantel of the sick, in the cell of the
prisoner, on the tea-table, the dinner
table the breakfast table-the very sight
of them enlivens and elevates and puri.
fies. Those who have growing flowers
should pinch off every leaf the moment
it begins to wilt or fade, and cut of
every flower before it begins to 60 to seed
this prevents the rapid exhaustion of
the strength of the stem and freshens a I
the other buds and adds largely to Il
crop.

The following is the testimony of DR..
Loring concerning Hungarian grass: Il
believe can make more milk with this
gress cut and mixed with corn meal and
shorts than can with the best timothy
hay cut and mixed in the same manner
And when you remember that you can
raise, on ordinary land, BY sowing the
seed of Hungarian grass late in June,
from two and one half to three and one
half tons of good fodder to the acre,
and that this crop csn be sown after we
have ascertained whether we are to have
good crop of hay or not, you will see
the value of this grass. I have such a
high opinion of it that on my own farm
this year and last, raised from seventy.
five TO one hundred tons of it for the
purpose Of feeding to my mich cows
during the winter"

BEES ON A SMALL SCALE.-There are
many householders whose means will
not enable them to buy COW. or pro-
vide keeping for one were they in posses
sion of one. But they may be equal to
the purchase of . colony Of bees, and TO
provide hives for the swarms resulting
therefrom. Bees, like other stocks re-
quire pasturage; but, unlike horses, cat
tie and sheep, they are free commoners,
ranging at will in search of stores, nor
can they be arrested and punished for
their intrusion upon premises alien to
their owners. A single colony Of bees,
in good condition in the spring, may be
counted upon to double or triple their
numbers in a single season, securing
ample stores for winter consumption,
while supplying gratifying surplus
each autumn for household use. This
accumulation will prove most acceptable
in families, especially while the price of
butter rules SO high as to place it beyond
the reach of those not blessed with
elongated and plethqric purses. Try
colony of bees a. an experiment.

Why Cattle Require Salt.

We know why the annimal Graves salt
and why it ultimately falls into disease
If salt is for time withheld. Upward
of half the saline matter of the blood
(57 per cent? consists of common salt /;
and as this is partly discharged every
day through the skin and kidneys, the
necessity of continued supplies Of it to
the body becomes sufficiently obvious.
The bile also contains soda Is special
and indispensable constituent, and 50 do
all the cartilages of the body. Therefore
if the supply of salt be stinted, neither
will the bile be able properly to assist
the digestion, nor the cartilages be built
up again as they naturally waste.
And when we consider it to be fact
that without salt man would miserably
perish, as among horrible punishments
entailing certain death that of feeding
cnlprits on saltless food is said to have
prevailed in barbarous times, we may
become. partially convinced, at least, of
the necessity of feeding salt to our stock
that it is one of the necessaries as we'll
as one of the luxuries of life for man and
beast; and it should be profusely pro-
vided at short intervals, in proper places
If it cannot be kept by them continu-
ally, so that each and every animal may
satisfy the demands of his nature. Then
it should not be said of US that while our
pudding is we'll seasoned and sailed our
stock are allowed to suffer for want of
the same ingredient, which is as truly
necessary for their food as for ours.
