A MACHINE SwITCHMEN.--About as
singular and ingenious railway sig
nal switch as we have ever seen has
recently been patented. Its inven-
tor believes that, when an engineer
might fail to heed the indication of
semiphore or some other purely
mechanical apparatus, he would be
sure to notice the frantic gestures of
a man posted beside the track. As
men of flesh and blood cannot pro-
badly be found who would be willing
to stand on high pedestal for in
definite periods of time, and wave
their arms at exact intervals, a ma
chine man has been contrived who
flourishes u flag, hammers a bell,
and displays changeable light in
his hat with unfailing regularity.
The man, owes his movements
to clock-work operated by weights,
and the latter are controlled by cleo
tricity. When the train passes it
moves n little stop beside the track
which by "a mechanical connection,
shifts a switch. SO that current from
a main line of telegraph wire is di-
verted into short circuit. An cleo
tro-masnet inside the machine -an
is thus excited, and rs il attracts it,
armafure the latter releases a de-
tent. The weights then descend
and the man waves kls fzs and
poands his hell. while Il. light ca

HEALTHY POULTRY.

The birds of the air are never sick {;
they die either by old age or natural
casualties. They choose their food
according to the season and their ac
tual wants Poultry at large upon a
farm are supposed to have at command
all they need for health and business
(the business Of producing eggs But
this is not often really the case, very
few farms being able to supply the
many things needful. Lime, gravel
sand good water at will, and full
varitv of beth hard aud soft feed, grain
and insects, worms, ect., are seldom
found on any farm. When they are
and the shelter from extremes of heat
and cold (trees in Summer and warm
housing in Winter are ample, there is
no cholera, pip, or other disease.
When a man knows what his farm
lacks for his poultry, it is generally
easily supplied. but few persons can
tell exactly what is lacking There is
one thing, however, which is very i'm
portant, which nature does not supply
and which civilization makes necessary,
and that is charcoal to keep the stomach
sweet, to prevent indigestion and to
maintain constant good appetite.
Charcoal made of wood does not an
swer the purpose; it has no taste of
food, is not.attractivc to the fowl, and
is seldom eaten But if any one will
put an ear of ripe corn into the fire till
a ha
shell off the corn and throw it his flock,
he will see an eagerness developed and
healthy condition brought about which
will make a decided Improvement, All
pale combs will become bright red
that busy song which pre,eles laying
will be heard, and the average yield OF
eggs will be greatly increased.

Hints and Helps in Gardening.

Now that it is nearly time to make
garden, for we expect the return of the
promised seed time, though snow is
still on the ground to-day, we would
like to share some of the knowledge we
have gained by experience with the nu-
merous readers of the " Record" And
first we think if seeds are bought OF
some dealer or grower who has repu-
tation to maintain, it will be more sat
isfactory than saving them but don t
buy commission seeds, unless you have
plenty of money. time and patience.
If YOU want extra early cabbage, get
cold-frame plants, these have been WIN
tered and are very hardy, if good plants
are short and stockey, they should be
planted as soon as the earth may be
worked and will be fit for use in June.
Tomatoes, if grown in pots, will bear
much earlier than if set out direct from
the bot-bed. Now for the sweet corn,
one of the best fruits of the earth. At
our house. we plant Early Minnesota
among the first seeds If it decays we
are not ruined, if it comes up, It grows
apace. and when the conservatives have
theirs in tassel, we have roasting ears.
We use Russel's Prolific for the main
crop, it is very good indeed.
In many old and fertile gardens it Is
impossible to raise fair radish, and
good radishes are worth some trouble.
A bed of sand foot or more in depth
has proved success with US. In 1t
are grown radishes beautiful to see, and
better still to taste. But let it be as
the law of the Mades and Persians,
that seed must be put in when radlshes
are pulled out, then they can be had
with refreshing frequency. 4 dish of
rosv radishes garnished with cress is
an ornament to any table.
Have YOU ever tried any of the for
eign onions? They require to be
started in an early hot-bed and trans
planted to the garden as soon as large
enough to handle, some distance as
onion sets. 1t seems good deal OF
trouble, but they are so mild and well
favored, that we think them desirable
for Summer use. We have used the
Large White Italian Tripoli.
Here it would not be amss to remark
that more than one crop may some
times be raised from the same ground
but we are reminded Of lady who
while novice in gardening, was plan
ting onion sets, when a neighbor said
"If YOU plant parsnp seed" under the
onions, YOU will save room. She did
as advised. Later desiring to emulate
B. Franklin and all the famous political
economists, she planted tomatoes in the
same bed, but truth compels the state
ment, that while the tomatoes were q
mighty crop, it wonld have taken 6
judge and jury to find either onions o!
parsnips.
There is undoubtedly great amount
of back-ache and hard work involved
in the good care of garden for knot
grass and purslane, with all the minor
members of the weed family, are ex
tremely persevering. But anybody can
take care of a grape vine, and we hope
every reader of this paper, who ha:
enough ground to contain the root of ;
vine, will plant one this Spring. Il
will grow while You sleep, and the time
will be short until you can sit under
your own vine and eat the fruit of it, {

SPADES AND FORKS.

Farmers do most of their soil lifting
with the pillow; but those who garden
have to use the spade considerably; but
the knowledge that the spade has been
IN a great measure superseded bv the
fork has not travelled near as much as
it ought to have done We see MANY
a one digging garden" and preparing
for Spring, spade in hand, utterly I'M
conscious that with modern digging
fork man can do as much in day,
and with far less fatigue, what with an
old fashioned spade it would take him
two days to do. In the use Of fork
there is no digging to do The tines
run into the earth by the downward
descent of the fork in the operators
hands alone; and in throwing over and
lcveling a single blow of the tines is
enough to pulvcrizc and make level
surface
Some say their land is too light; that
not take up forkful; but in this case
work it when it is little wet Even
sandy ground can be dug with fork,
if the proper time is chosen for it. OF
course the s. ade can never he aban-
doned. There will always be some
ground that is very weedv, or full of
ROOFS, which ii sharp edge like that Of a
spade will be necessary to sever; and
in digging up trees and garden vegeta-
bles, nothing can replace the spade in
hardness; bat there are number OF
instances in garden work where a dig
@ing fork can come into very great la
Dor saving.
RAPID INCREAsE-A single grain o!
barley was planted by an agriculturist
in the Isle of Man, in 1872, and the
same year produced three hundred
grains These were sown, and the sec.
ond years produce was about half a
pint. These were again sown, and
the third years produce was fourteen
pounds, which being again sown real
lied last year about seven bushels, GOV,
cring a space of one hundred yards by
five Thus there has been produced in
fonr years seven bushels of barley from
q single grain.
