Treatment Of the Soil.

THE soil is the farmers bank Ii he
would keep his accounts good and have
his drafts honored, he must take care that
his farming operations do not impoverish
his land, for that will inevitably impover-
ish him.
There are those accounted good farm.
ers, because in the MAN, they are reason
ably successful in their management, yet
who nevertheless blindly pursue methods
that are futile in accomplishing desired
results. There is much working in the
dark, and sometimes great waste of
labor. There are some things that are
hard to be unlearned after they have been
long practiced with apparently beneficial
effects, but which really had little agency
in producing those effects.
a hundred years and more ago Jethro
Tull believed and taught that by sufficient
culture the soil would produce crops year
after year, without manure. His theory
brought disaster upon him ultimately, but
there was great lesson in his experience
which farmers failed to apply, to wit: the
value of tillage in aeratng the soil. Gull
tivation, frequent stirring, admits the air,
and when it is recollected that vegetable
and mineral manures are useless until de-
composed into their original elements,
and that decomposition can only 60 on by
the direct agency of the atmosphere, the
importance of the knowledge is at once
recognized Organic matter possesses
highly fertilizing properties, but these lie
dormant and useless until dccomposed,
and rendered fit for plant food, by aeration
of the soil TO which tins matter has been
applied. Pulverize the soil and keep il
mellow, for then it can breathe freely, so
TO speak, and the more productive it will
be rendered. Herein lies the benefit of
repeated stirring-ot fail blowing, which
insures additional pUlverization by the
action of frost, insuring finer tilth. And
hence, too, the beneficial effects OF drain
ing the soil, carrying off stacuant water,
and permitting the air 10 take its place.
We must not lose signt Of the fact that
with properly aerating the soil, the con-
sutuents removed from itmust be returned,
and that in the use OF n ,nures it is well
To consider not only what is desired for
an immediate crop. but also the condition
in which the soil will be left for succeed
ing crops Judicious culture and proper
rotations viii insure good crops and at
the same time the land will not deteriorate

AGRICULTURAL AND DOMESTIC.

AT recent meeting of the Royal
Horticultural Society attention was
called to new insecticide, which con.
sists of camphor dissolved in methylated
spirits 10 saturation, and mixed with soft
soap to the consistence of cream. When
diluted so as to be fit for use with syr-
inge this has been found an efficacious
substitute for fumigatlon in the case of
mealy bug. scale, red spider, etc.
To make German Toast.-Cut thick
slices Of bread-baker's is the best-dip
them each side in milk enough to soften,
then dip in beaten egg put in pan with
Just sufficient butter to fry; fry till brown
as an omelet, then serve we'll sprinkled
with white sugar Two eggs would be
sufficient to dip nearly dozen slices of
bread. Like pancakes, the hotter the
toast the better
TO wash dishes without soap, have
your dishwater hot and add a very little
milk, as this softens the water, gives the
dishes nice gloss and preserves the
hands. 1t removes the grease, even that
from beef, and yet no grease is ever found
floating on the water as when soap is
used. The stone vessels should be set on
the stove with little water in them when
the victuals are taken from them thus
they are hot when one is ready to wash
them, and the grease is easily removed.
Tinware keeps bright longer cleansed in
this way than by using soap or by scour-
ing. The habit so many have acquired
of securing tins is wastetul policy, as
the present style of tinware will not bear
II.
AS hens, turkeys, geese and ducks
are not provided with incisor, canine ror
molar teeth, it is folly to feed bones to
them unless the hard substances are first
reduced to small fragments. Fresh bones
are valuable feed for poultry of any sort,
provided the fragments are so small that
the birds can swallow them Once in the
crop of fowl, bits of bone will soon be
changed INFO soft and palalable food.
Our own practice is to have a dish in the
kitchen specially to receive the bones that
are purchased with the beefsteak, mutton
and other meat. Then every day these
pieces are taken to chopping block, and
with an old ak, having a sharp, cutting
edge, they are crushed with the head OF
the ak and cut into pieces not larger than
kernels OF Indian corn. The fowls de-
YOUR them with ravenous appetite.
Bones are worth more to feed fowls than
the same number of pounds of prime
grain. For chopping block, a small log
about two feet long, with square ends, IS
placed on one end, as the end of log is
far better for such a purpose than the side
of a log. Bones are usually cast out of
the back door or in garbage barrel to
feed worthless dogs. But if preferred for
fowls as suggested, every pound is worth
twoo three cents, which will be returned
generously in the form of luscious eggs
and juicy meat for the table.--Nelo York

How often do we hear this question asked
by persons suffering from dizziness and pain
in the head, with dull, stupid feeling pain
in the side, back or shoulder, heavy load
on the stomach after eating, faint, all-gone
sensation at the pit Of the stomach that food
does not satisfy, a cold, clammy feeling in
the hands and feet, with hot flashes at times,
a bad taste in the mouth, with foul breath,
attended with great depression of the nerv-
Gus system and evil forebodngs, and with a
tired weakness that sleep don'trclieve, urine
scanty at times, with a sediment after stand
ing. One physician calls the disease liver
complaint, another kidney disease, another
dyspepsia, and still another impurity of the
blood. But none succeed in etfecting a cure.
The fact is that these symptoms indicate
that all Of these diseases are present to-
gether and to remove these symptoms we
must take a remedy that will act upon all of
these organs at once. The best article that
we know Of is made by the Shakers. and is

Green Wood VS.. Seasoned Fuel.

That every billet is full of sap or water.
timber three feet in diameter will have a
cord 81 solid wood in every eighteen feet.
and II thirty six feet long will weigh above
five tons. Hence it will be perceived that
a cord OF green wood must form a load OF
nearly two tons in weight. and he will.
probably, conclude that his team has a
much greater load than is commonly sup
posed. 1t is also obvious that in drawing
green wood the farmer must load and
transport three barrels of water in every
cord, or sixty barrels in twenty cords.
allowing that wood as commonly seasoned
in a summer has lost only two-thirds OF its
water. In drawing 100 cords of such drv
wood there will be a saving. in loading
and Transporting, of 200 barrels of water.

cords of green wood sixty barrels of wa
ter must be evaporated. Now, it takes
six times az much heat to evaporate
pound OF water as to heat q pound from
fifty degrees of temperature to the boiling
point. To ascertain the caloric lost we
must find the weight of water In cord of
wood. In his careful experiments on the
combustion of wood Count Rumford
proved that cord of dry beech weighs
about $500 pounds, which must be three
fourths OF the weight of the green beech;
that Is, cord Of green beech must weigh
3, 700 pounds or, taking the mean between
one-third and one-fourth, must be more
than 4 600 pounds. In burning cord of
green beech at least 900 pounds of water
must be evaporated, and 1000 pounds of
water would fill three barrels OF thirty.two
ale gallons, or nearly two hogsheads of
siXty-three gallons wine measure The
quantity of caloric lost in this way may
be estimated in rough way by the
quantity of wood consumed In evaporat-
ing three barrels or nearly two hogsheads
of water
Some years ago chemist ascertained
the weight lost by wood in drying or
seasoning. For this purpose he weighed
green rock maple and beech taken from
the sapwood and from the heartwood,
and from both together, and dried the
specimens carefully in warm oven, so
as to be more free from water than com.
mon wood as ordinarily seasoned, The
loss was from one-fourth to one-third of
the weight. This loss was water If the
wood is burned while green this water
must be evaporated and thrown into the
atmosphere, and a considerable quantity
of the caloric or heat produced by the
combustion of the wood must be in this
way carried off, and be of no use in heat
ing or warming The economy in using
dry wood is well understood by many.
These views give adequate reasons for
it. Yet many farmers do not use proper
care in drying and housing their fuel.
Some even contend that it IS more
economical to provide mot to burn) green
wood than dry, as the domestics cannot
manage to consume so large quantity
OF green fuel as they would burn if il
were dry as finder. 1t must be admitted
that there is more than a shadow of
reasoning and sound sense in such dec
laration. -" Agricola," in N. Y. Herald.

Agricultural.
From Willamette Farmer.

Jefferson informs us that last winter he
sowed Chile Club wheat and that it
made a complete failure, from which he
infers that spring sowing would have
made better crop. 1t is fact many
will be glad to know, that this variety
is not safe for winter sowing.
POULTRY ON THE FARM
Poultry on the farm is a source of
profit in proportion to care and atten-
ton bestowed upon them. 1t only
common scrub chickens are kept and
allowed to pick for themselves, the sup
ply of eggs they give in spring and
summer, when eggs are cheap, and the
few extra chickens sold, will not more
than pay for the feed they wasted and
what they eat, while on the other hand,
if the improved breed are adopted, they
will, with proper attention, give good
supply of eggs the year through; even
when eggs are high and scarce, they
continue to lay as well as in mid-sum-
mer. They will not waste the grain
and fly everywhere, as any common
tight fence four feet high will keep the
Asiatics within bounds, and your gar.
den will not be so ruthlessly destroyed.
You can market the chickens younger,
they grow larger, and are about as
healthy and hardy as the common
chickens with the ordinary care. Ev-
cry farmer should have poultry house,
and should keep it well cleaned, and
whitewashed to keep out vermin; a lit
tie coal oil on the roots occasionly will
keep them free.
