Watering Poultry.

1t is the belief of the writer
that many Of the diseases incident
to poultry are due to neglect in
providing them with pure water
particularly do l believe such to
be the majority of instances where
chicken cholera prevails. The o.
mission to furnish fowls with suit.
able drinking water is one of the
worst features of cruelty to ami
mails. 1t is a neglect that is de-
cidedly adverse to success, hence
tends to diminish individual fan
cy for fowls, and works detrimeRt
to poultry interests. Those whom
we occasionally hear say that
there is no profit in poultry are
not qualified to have the manage
ment of the same, and in their at
tention may be classed with the
thriftless and neglectful parties
who keep fowls that get drink
when it rains. - Fancier'S Jour

To PREVENT SWEET PoTAToES
FROM RoTTING. i have noticed
tor the last lew years various
plans for preventing sweet pota-
toes from rotting after being gath
cred and banked or housed. 1t
was my fathers plan to wait uL-
til the frost had killed the vines,
and dig on good open day -
throwing ia heaps, and afterward
dividing the small from the large
= turning al about - then haul
ed up to a place rather sloping,
and the earth dug out to hard
foundation - potatoes put down
on the ground and covered with
cornstalks long enough to go from
the cotton of trench tc top Of
bank, with small ones to fill up
the cracks SO that you could not
see the potatoes at all ; then COM
mence at the bottom with a good
thickness of dirt all the way up
= using no straw or barely leav-
ing open at the top, and good
shelter over to cover entire bank.
l never knew of any potatoes be-
ing lost under any circumstances,
managed as above. Now let all
make trial of this plan, and see
for themselves, if it is not a good
plan. - Southern CUltiuator.

a correspondent of the Ru-
raj NeaC Yorker says: "Set q
tomato plant into each hill of
cucumbers or melons, and you
will have TO trouble from the
striped bugs that are so destruc-
tive tothese plants. The plants
can be tied to stakes, and if.
we'll pruned when large, both
subjects can proceed with their
fruiting without detriment to
ono another"

put eight inches of fresh stable
manure. Pound down we'll, and
cover this with 5 inches of rich.
well pulverised dirt. Let it stand
until the first heat passes off,
which perhaps will take day or
two, owing to the weather. Put
the sweet potatoes on the surface
of this layer of dirt and cover
with two inches of soft chip ma
nure.

a "SuEe Cure" for RheU-

Boston JO1rnal Of Chemist,

The number Of ''infsliible
cures for rheumatism thst have
been announced has become g
matter Of joke. Our readers have
doubtless seen the amusing list Of
q hundred or SO Of these specifics,
professional and non-prosessional,
that has gone the rounds of the
papers. DE-. Franz Heller has ad.
ded one more to the catalogue,
and that is ammonia, which be

Medizinische PreSSe, Of Vienna.
For several years he had been a
sufferer from severe muscular
rheumatism in the right shoulder /;

atheists ; he thought that liquid
ammon@, on account of its rapid
volatili2ation, would be the rene
dy most readily absorbed, and the
most prompt in action. He took
one drop, diluted with water, and
felt Immediately a complete relief
from the pain, which had lasted
for ten hours; he was now able
to move freely the arm which, an
instant before, he could scarcely
bear to have touched. The rem
ledy, be claims, has proved posi-
| tive cure in all recent cases of
muscular rheumatism which have
fallen under his observation, and
these have been many.
He also observed its effects in
several cases Of acute articular
rheumatism, in two Of which Elk
drops sufficed to subdue the pain

twenty-four hours.

completely dispelled the inhamma'
ton and pain in the joint within
two days.

Bookkeeping.

Mr.. EDITOR II have been
asked the question a hundred
times. How in the world do you
get the bees to build their combs
so nice and straight2 To answer
this on paper will be a nice job,
but probably l will be able to
make it plain enough to be I'M
derstOOd. We viii suppose the
the frames are all made of pieces
exactly one inch broad. Get a
piece of hickory or other hard
wood, and plane it down until it is
: inch square, then plane down
one side about i of an inch, which
makes it a little bevel and at the
end will look thus II. Cut this
piece of wood about an ! of an
inch shorter than the inside of the
frame, turn the frame upside down
and lay the guide on the top bar
of the frame, beviled side in, let
ting the out edge come even with
the out edge of the frame, make a
little. wedge, which push in be-
tween the end of the guide and
frame. Have ready a skillet or
other vessel with melted beeswax ;
hold the frame in the left hand
p1intingidownward and backward
at an angle of say 800, take a
teaspoonful of the melted wax
aud pour on at the upper end Of
the guide and let it run till it gets
to the lower end, then raise the
frame to d level. When the max
cools take away the wooden guide
and it leaves a beautiful wax guide,
Oa which the bees will Invariably
start their comb. had forgotten
to say, keep the wood guide vet all
the time to keep the wax from
sticking to it. use three of these
wooden guides in order to expe
dite matters while using one the
other two are cooling.
AS rosin is cheaper than bees
wax it does as well 10 add one
third rosin. This is a simple and
cheap guide and can be put on
much faster than the three cor
nered wood guides, and is much
better. ] can put on guides e.
nough in half day to do the
whole season. Last year | had a
bout 500 combs built and not a
crooked one in the whole lot.
In order to advance the interest
of bee.culture in our county
think it would be q good idea fol-
the bee-keepsrs to form a society
and interchange views with each
other. Our sister county, Maury,
has a bee keepers society ard why
not WEI / would be glad to hear
from all the bee.keepers of the
county, and have their views on
the subject. Who will respond
Yours truly, j. F. MONTGOMERY.

TANNING AND CoLoRING
SK1Ns.-Rub the skin several
times a day in a solution of
alum and soft water, until suf-
ficiently tanned. To give them
a yellow color, take five parts
whiting to two parts of yellow
ochre, and mix them with water
to a paste--make into cakes
and dry. When tanned skin
is dry, run one of the cakes O.
vef the surface, rubbing the
powder in, which will give it
the desired color. This meth
cd is the cheapest and least
troublesome of any.-Corres-
