CuItiration in Season.

The truth of the following cannot be
too strongly enforced:
with press Of work often the culti-
walton Of hoed crops is put off until the
weeds have attained considerable size,
even SO as 10 overshadow the crop. This
is mistake. Every weed not destroyed
is sapping the ground of the nutrimeat
that is Just in the best condition for the
growing plant, but if the weed is destroy
ed as 1t comes out of the ground it has as
yet on y taken its nutrition from its own
seed. Again. single motion, when weeds
are tiny, will destroy hundreds, where if
allowed to remain some time longer, each
individual specimen will require the
same effort. Here is where the stroke in
time saves ninty-nine or more. This is
most emphstically true in the growth of
onions, beets, and other crops closely
sOwn. which require hand work entirely.
In case Of potatoes, the plan of harrow.
ing after planting and before they are
far advanced is growing in favor.
This allows the crop to have a
good start of the weeds, and the potatoes
are not in the least injured by the har-
row. Detroit Free Press.

will never be necessary to catch and
apply oil or grease Of any kind to destroy
lice. if the foregoing suggestions are put
into practice. But where, from neglect
or carelessncss, the poultry are infested,
it may be advisable in order to destroy
rs soon as possible all traces Of vermin
to apply some unguent or poison to
the bodies of the fowls. For this pur-
pose we would advise mixture Of lard
anl coal oil, heated together until
thoroughly mixed, as the cheapest and
most convenient article to use. II thought
best little sulphur may be mixed into
the compound. To apply it, catch the
fowls at night, and with TIE finger smear
a little of the preparation Oh the top OF
the head and under the lower mandible 4:
then put small quantity under each
wing, and rub it in SO that it will reach
the skin; repeat the same operation be-
tween the body and thighs and about the
roots Of the tail. One operation, if thor
oughly performed, will be sufficient.
The complaint that poultry keep
ing is Improbable generally comes from
the parties who neglect the small details
of the business, which are so important
in the comfort and prO6tableness Of the
flock. II the foregoing directions are put
into practice, there will be little to appre.
bend on the score of lice Practical

What TO 10 Uith Sheep.

There is some anxiety among sheep
breeders to know what course TO take
with their sheep. What shall we do with
them ? they ask. Our answer is: Take
4. conservative, steady course, pursue 1t
steadily, do not be carried away with the
cry Of cheap wool. but aim to keep a
flock Of sheep on your farm There are
many considerations In favor Of keeping
few sheep on every farm. They are
good fertilizers, they afford some variety
10 farm life, they are a toOd-producing
animal, their wool always sells for cash
At some price, and they are easily handled
and their products cheaply marketed. 1t
is IN June that about S2,00O,00 will be
paid 10 farmers of this State for their
wool This is just the season they want
money 10 commence their harvesting. At
this season they are busy; they have a
few days to market their wool and get
little money. and this gives them capital
for the summers campaign. No crop can
I'll or take the place of the wool crop
We understand that there will be a prop
osition to sacrifice sheep on account Of
the low price Of wool. We recolleet the
scare Of 1869, and we also recollect that
those who held on to wool production
made the money, and We apprehend this
will again be the case.
We do most earnestly recommend that
wool-growers Gull their fOcks and turn of
all inferior, Don-prOductive sheep, but let
no one imagine that the bottom is about
10 fall out of the business. There are al
together too many sheep shearing - to
pounds Of wool. No sheep should be re-
tanned that shear less than pounds of
wool turn of all this low kind Of trash
and the best time TO test their value is at
the time Of shearing. Then mark every
sheep for the SHAMELESS that does not come
up TO the standard 1t is time the wool
growers Of Michigan got entirely through
with the use Of scrub rams and scrub
ewes. Ii Is time that all half-breed
bucks were sent to the shambles, and
there should be loud call for the best
thoroughbred rams. There should be an
advance along the centre line of sheep
breeding, Wewish our voice could reach
every stock-msster in the State with such
potency as wonld compel, this season, the
slaughter Of every scrub ram in the bor-
ders Of the state. The best focks are the
ones that are going to pay. 1t is with
sheep as II is with swine or with cattle
there must be selections, focks must be
eulled-sone pains must be taken with
breeding stock. All We can say is, let
the man who has a good flock of sheep
keep making it better. Resolve to add
one pound OF wool to each Aeeee.-TMich.

Tdiue of Fodder Corn.

The Department of Agriculture has
Just issued statement presenting long
line of testimony from various sources on
the value of fodder corn as q supplement
tary feed on soiliDg crop for mich cows
in summer. We present below the con-
illusions deduced from the testimony CIV
en-:
l. Green-corn fodder is neither worth
less nor the poorest Of all soiling ma
terial.
=. 1t is the best when planted in drills
or hills, not so thickly as to prevent nor
NAL growth and development, cultivated
to destroy weeds and grasses, and cut be-
tween tasselling and caring, when the ele-
ments elaborated for production of the
ear are stored in readiness for immediate
use.
8. II is probable, both from the ra-
tionale of the case and from facts presen-
ted above, that in the more northern lati-
tudes a mistake has often been made in
sowing thickly Southern corn which can
not mature, and the fodder from which
fed in August must be very nearly worth
less. On the contrary the fodder from
Northern corn, and especially sweet corn
drilled and cultivated, and fed just before
caring, Is found to be very valuable.
1. Its value, compared with Lueerne,
millet, the best grasses, and other plants,
containing larger percentage of nutri-
ment taking into consideration the guam
tity produced and the cost Of its produc.
tion, has not been determined fully, and
shall be decided by a series of thorough
and exhaustive experiments.
1t Is evident from all that is conflict
ing in the opinion of different feeders,
that the differences are mainly due to the
degree of maturity or sonndncss of the
corn. That from thick sowing, immature
eolorless and watery is unfit to place be-
fore the cows of any well-regulated dairy.
Ii is probable that half that is fed is
either improperly cultivated or in state
Of growth not productive Of the highest
results. If this should be the case, how
stupid to condemn the maize for the ignor-
ance of the cultivator. If it is found to
contain too little nVtriment for its bulk,
or too small amount Of the hesh-produc-
Ing element, the suggestion found in the
practice of some, of giving small amount
Of more highly concentrated nutriment
IN connection with corn-fodder, is emiu-
emily wise. This is a deficiency easily
remedied. While corn is our national
crop less fastidious in the circumstances
of Its growth than almost any other, and
capable of yielding so largely under the
Proverbial neglect which eharacterizes
our culture, let not this fodder be discard
ed until something Of greater practical
value is found, the superiority of which
has been actually demonstrated under
local circumstances Of soil, climate and
cultivation.

Potato Bug Sailors.

The sea coasts in the vicinity of New
York and the shores of Long Island
Sound are at the present time, undergoing
invasion by countless myriads of potato
bugs. Where the insects came from is
q mystery. They seem to cling to the
floating sea weeds and are left herewith
on the shore BY the tide. At Coney
Island and other points directly on the
ocean the bugs are most numerous show
ing that they have been brought hither by
sea currents, and by similar means have
been swept into Long Island Sound. 1t
seems hardly possible that the insects will
now fail to reach the other side of the
as they may find transportation
on vessels or be carried over in the drift
ing weeds Of the Gulf Stream.-1Scien-

ArOiding Hen Lice.

These parasites breed and multiply in
the filth and dirt in and about hen quar-.
tiers. The manure should not be allowed
10 aeeumu ate under the roosts and on the
aoors Of the houses. 1t should be decd.
riled with dry earth or sifted coal ashes,
or muck or plaster or other absorbent,
and removed at least once q week, and
deposited where fowls cannot gain access
to it. This, when properly attended to,
will be found to render the task Of keep
ing down the lice much easier. The
quarters including rOosts, nests, walls,
floors and utensils Of every kind, should
be thoroughly whitewashed-say in April
July, September and November. The
wash should have some sulphur or kero-
sene Incorporated with it, and if il be
put on hot it will be all the better. Ii
should be applied TO every crack and
eraI NJ, ~ point being missed. Tue roost
poles or perehes should be removed, and
all the bearings or points of contact
should be especially treated, for it is in
these places that the mites" are most at
home. After a thorough application of
the lime wash, the roosts should be well
smeared with mixture of lard or ker.
Osene. The hens natural resort to rid
herself of lice is the dust bath. Where
fowls are not at liberty to seek suitable
bath, it should always be furnished them
IN sunny part of their house. II may
consist of chip dirt, dry earth, sifted coal
ashes, wood ashes OF a mixture of them all
together, with little sulphur or Persian
powder mixed with it. Even where
fowls have their liberty it will De found
