The conclusion OF the whole matter
is, therefore, that if the above deficit
OF $50, 900 bales IS made good out OF
last years stock, il must reduce IL, first
OF October next, to 5G3, 900 bales IN
Europe and America. Is it possible so

ing the Turkish communications with Erze-
roum, the Turkish commander, leaving
sufficient force at Kars, marched out with
nine batalions and occupied the village OF
IchilakIi, near Yardin, and west of Kars. A
subsequent telegram from Moukhtar Pasha,
dated May /, announces that the Inhabitants
of Kars had brought him reports that the
Russians had attacked Kars, but were re-
pulsed with loss. According to the telegram
from the Turkish commander at Batoum,
Russian military operations were arrested
by rainy weather.

1t is supposed by many that earthen-
ware is better and cooler for butter in
summer than wooden vessels. This is
mistake. Earthenware is a too great con-
ductor of heat for butter. Hence, all
butter dairies adopt the wooden vessels.
TIE Rural World suggests simple
means of protecting young fruit trees
against rabbits, which is to place a few
cornstalks about the stem with the lower
ends tied near the ground, and the other
end tied as high as the protection is
needed. This application is found as
good as paper, and more likely to be
ready at hand for farmers.
EXERCISE your horses daily. A few
carrots with their grain will aid diges-
ton and appetite, and improve their
coats. Train colts so that no breaking
will be needed. Keep working and car
riage horses sharp shod, we'll groomed.
and blanketed when standing out, Or in
cold stables after exercise. Ventilate
stables, and abolish high feeding racks.
A WATERFRONT stable floor may be
made as follows: Lay dry, tongued and
grooved, inch -and-a-half plank, with the
joints put together with hot gas tar OF
pitch, for the first floor; saturate this
thoroughly with hot tar, laying upon il
second floor of plank while the tar is
hot. The seams should be we'll filled
with the tar. No water will pass through
this floor, and it will be very durable
the more SO if the upper floor is wei

A CORRESPONDENT of German papel
with an unpronouncable name, gives {
simple plan for treating frostbitter
combs, which he has practiced with sue
cess for long time. The comb must b.
carefully rubbed down with soft clotl
dipped in solution of arnica, and Jh
affected part then painted over with al
ordinary carpenters glue or size. A
soon as this has dried on, the bird ma.
be turned loose without further care
The coating of glue gradually scales of
and the subjacent comb is discovered t
be perfectly healthy.

Portable or Composition Roofing.

There is probably no article of manufac
ture so universally needed reliable low
priced roofing, which can be readily applied
without the aid of skilled labor, and in no
other direction has SO great want been so
inetficiently supplied. The results of exper-
iments with felts, cements and other compo-
sitions have far been anything but satis-
factory. Numerous so-called "cheap roof
ings" have been produced, advertised, used
and found worthless. In view of these facts
we are glad to be able to speak favorably of
an article which, from our own knowledge
and the testimony of some of the most extern
sive and best known manufacturers and
merchants in this country, has proven reli-
able and economical substitute for the more
expensive kinds of roofing. We refer to ID.
w. Johns Patent Asbestos Roofing, the
manufacturers of which make no extraya-
| CANT representations, but claim 1t to be the
| only reliable portable roofing In use, and
from careful inquiry we believe their claims
| are well founded. This roofing is prepared
| ready for use, can be easily applied by un-
| skilled workmen, is adapted Tor steep or
| fiat roofs in all climates, and when finished
with the arhtte tire.proof coating forms the
| ightest, handsomest and coolest root IN the
| world, costing about only half as much as
| tin. Samples, illustrated catalogues, price
| lists, and any desired information can be OBJ
tanned from the Il. W. Johns Manufacturing
| Co., patentees and sole manufacturers, 81
Maiden Lane, New York. This company
have recently completed new mandatory,
| the mast extensive works OF the KIND IN the
world, and have reduced their prices to a
basis which place their goods within the
reach of every one. They also manufacture
liquid paints, all shades, which are guaran:
| teed equal to any for general purposes and
the most durable for outside work of any
paints in use in body and richness OF color
the Asbestos Paints surpass any we have
ever seen. Fire-proof paint, an eeonomlcal
substitute for white lead, costing only "a
cents per gallon, for the protection of fac
tories, bridges and other wooden structures
against fire, is also valuable for the class o. Of
outbulldings, fences, etc., which are usually
allowed to go unpainted. Roof paint, ste an
pipe and boiler coverings, steam packing
sheathings, Innings, cements, etc., all
which eau be relied upon as being IN ever!
respect as represented, and we advise ou
readers before purchasing paints or roofing
to send for samples of these articles ant
compare them with all others.

There has recently been invented a
remedy for crows which certainly has
the appearance of efficiency. An Oswego !
man invented it, and his neglect to
obtain a patent is quite unaccountable.
This man whenever he plants corn,
leaves in a conspicuous position in the
field box full of corn which has been
thoroughly soaked in alcohol, and re-
marks in loud though apparently care
less voice, that for his part he likes
crows, and is determined that they shall
have their share of the corn. Thus en-
couraged, the crows flock to the feast as
soon as the farmers back is turned, and
in the course of one or two hours are rem
dered as drunk as an equal quantity of
boiled owls. At this point the farmer
returns with club and double -barreled
gun. With the former he beats out the
brains of the drunken crows with the
skill of a model policeman, and with the
latter he shoots those who are sober
enough to stagger a way in search of
safety. The few who can still manage
to fly escape, and their description of
the infamous character of that particular
farmer, and the degrading and fatal con-
sequences of indulgence in his adulter-
ated corn, readily influences all the crows
to shun the field in which the intoxicat-
ing corn is dispensed. The ingenious
farmer who invented this stratagem will
have the gratitude of all other farmers;
but there is certainly aquestion as to the
strict morality of this plan.
