Jerusalem Artiohokes,

A few days ago we dug up ff.
teen hills which yielded two and a
half bushels, thus yielding at the
rate of eight hundred bushels De,
acre. When we take into account
the ease with which this tuber is
grown, its immense yield, and that
all manner of stock eat and thrive
upon it, is it not strange that more
OF 1t is not grown? Hogs will
almost fatten on them and do their
own digging. They can be put in
a cellar, buried out of doors, or
left in the ground to grow until
spring. Frost does not hurt them:
They are not only good for stock,
but are quite a favorite with many
as a pickle. There are two varie-
ties, one growing quite large,
round and full of bumps, while
the other is long and thin, usually
pointed at one end. The former
yields most, is much easier to
gather, and not hard to get rid of
while the latter is a perfect nuis-
ance when once planted, and no.
thing short of hogs will rid the
ground of them.-Colman's Rural
World.

Summer Care of Poultry.

Lice are the bane of poultry in
the summer season. Young chicks
and old fowls pine and die miser-
ably by thousands from this cause.
Grease is sure remedy against
these vermin. A mixture of one
teaspoonful of coal oil with four
ounces of fresh lard should be
rubbed on the heads and beneath
the wings of the fowls and chicks,
either as a cure or preventive
The same should be smeared over
the roosting poles, carefully filling
all cracks with it. If setting
hen is allowed to become infested,
her nest should be changed, the
eggs dipped in tepid water and
washed, and replaced in a fresh
clean nest. There is no better
material for nests than fine earth
or shavings. Some tansy placed
in the nest will help to keep lice
away.
The hen may be washed in warm
carbolic soap suds, and then al
lowed to dust herself in fine, dry
clean earth. The new nest should
be exactly similar to the old one,
and if the change is made when
the hen leaves the nest to feed,
and near the evening, she will go
onto it without hesitation. Clean
illness, dryness, variety of food.
and pure water in plenty, viii all
help to keep poultry ill perfect
health during the warm weather.

Science With Practice.

To one who has attentive]y
studied the progress of agriculture
during the past few years, it must
be evident that it is becoming more
a matter of study, though not,
perhaps, less matter of practice.
1t commands a higher degree OF
brain work. Science with prac-
tice is the motto, and this union
promises to furnish the key to I'M
lock the hidden mysteries which
have forever hung around the oper-
atoms of the farm. They are not
antagonistic. The scholar in his
closet, the chamist over his cruel
bles, and the earnest, practical ex-
perimenter in the field, are work
ing together for the discovery of
truth.
The age, no doubt, demands q
more practical application of the
teachings of science. Its abstract
truths will not be valued any far
Their than they may be made to
advance the great interests of hu-
mainly. 1t is, therefore, one of
the most striking and hopeful
signs of the present, as compared
with any former period in the his
tory of agriculture, that it has
called to its aid the highest talent,
and that men of science in all de-
partments have devoted their lives
to Investigations designed to pro-
mote its progress.

CURE FOR RATrLEsNAKE BrrEs.-A
physician in Texas was recently
bitten by a rattlesnake, and, in
order to test the efficacy of iodine
as a remedy, he waited until the
swelling in hts leg and the pain
compelled him to lie down-about
twenty minutes after being bitten
when he took half tablespoonful of
saturated tincture of iodine, re-
peating the dose in diminished
quantities at intervals of fifteen
minutes. He also applied the
tincture to the wounds and the
whole surface of the swollen leg;
and in five hours the pain had so
far subsidized that he fell asleep and
slept several hours. On waking
he was entirely free from pain.

THE SUN.
NEW YORK. 1877.


The different editions of The Sun dur
ing the next year will be the same as
during the year that has just passed.
The daily edition will on week days be
sheet of four pages, and on Sunday a
sheet Of eight pages, or Sc broad col
umns while the weekly edition will be
sheet of eight pages of the same di-
mansions and character that are already
familiar to our friends.
The Sun will continue to be the siren
uous advocate of reform and retrench-
ment, and of the substitution of states
manship, wisdom, and integrity for hol-
low pretence, imbecility and fraud in the
administration of public effairs. 1t will
contend for the government of the people
by the people acd for the people, as OPP
posed to government by frauds in the
ballot-box and in the counting of votes,
enforced by military violence. 1t will
endeavor to supply its readers-a body
now not far fran million of souls-with
the most careful, complete, and trust
worthy accounts of current events, and
will employ for this purpoae numerous
and carefully selected staff of reporters
and correspondents. Its reports from
Washington, especially, will be full, &C
curate, and fearless and it will doubt
less continue to deserve and enjoy the
hatred of those who thrive by plumber
ing the Treasury or usurping what the
law does not give them, while it will en-
deavor to merit the coincidence of the
public by defending the rights of the
people against the encroachments of un-
justified power.
The price of the DAILY SUN will be SIS
cents month or $3.50 year, postpaid,
or with the Sunday edition $40 a year.
The Sunday edition alone, eight pages,
$1.20 year, postpaid.
The WEEKLY Sun, eight pages of Sc
broad columns, will be furnished during
the year 1877 at the rate of 81 a year,
postpaid.
The benefit of this large reduction
from the previous rate for the Weekly
can be enjoyed by individual subscribers
without the necessity of making up
clubs. At the same time, if any of our
friends choose to aid in extending our
circulation, We shall be grateful to them,
and every such person who sends us ten
or more subscribers from one place will
be entitled to one copy of the paper for
himself without charge. At one dollar
year, postage paid, the expenses of paper
and printing are barely repaid; and,
considering the size OF the sheet and
the quality of its contents, we ere conf
dent the people will consider TIE
WEEKLY Sun the cheapest newspaper
published in the world, and we trust also
one of the very best.

Cnre for Chicken Cholera.

A correspondent of the R,ral Herald
sends that paper remedy for chicken cho-
lera which is certainly simple, and said to
an efiectua cure for that disease. 1t ap-
pears to be preventive, and as an ounce of
prevention is better than pound of cure,
it is at least worthy of a trial. 1t as is fol-
lows 'Scald as much cornmeal as is reauir-
ed to feed the number of fowls, with boiling
water. Make it tolerably greasy with lard
or meat fryings. If lard, salty grease, no
salt is necessary. Black pepper, ground a
level teaspoonful to pin. of meal. Feed
this twice a week, in the morning, warm,
aud chickens will not need any watching.
They will have neither cholera or gaps.
Chickens, or turkeys either, should not be
fed too often; twice a day in summer, if
they are running our, and three times in
winter Is often enough. Most people feed
their fowls too much. My experince has
been that all fowls that die with cholera
are excessively fat.

Keeping Stock Clean.

1t ough to be the duty of the stockman to
see that all cattle that are kept constantly
tied up should receive q thorough brushing
daily. Stock that are accustomed to have
their heads tied get very dirty about the
neck and shoulders unless they receive a
careful grooming" Cleanliness is very
essential for cattle always under cover, not
only because disease is thereby prevented
from making its inroad., but also because
stock thrive better, and reach maturity a
great deal quicker, when carefully tended,
than when they are not. Cattle kept in
hammels or loose boxes, do not, perhaps,
require 20 much attention az those whose
heads are tied to the stall, as they can with
freedom lick themselves, but they should not
be neglected on that account; and the careful
stock farmer will do well to see that his
stockman gives them proper attention. 1t
frequently happens, however, that cattle do
become very dirty about the body-whether
from neglect, or natural predisposition to
get dirty, it is unnecessary to consider. In
such cases, a good remedy is to apply to
the affected parts mixture of fish oil and
flour ofsulphur, in the proportions of four
ounces of sulphur to Il quart of oil. This
mixture should be vigorously rubbed into
the body, and abouttbree days after this
has been done, the aftec ted parts must re-
ceive good washing with soft soap and
warm water. The oil and sulphur may be
applied once more in the same manner as
before, the mixture being made little
stronger should there be no observable in.
provement from the first washing. This
mixture applied twice generally suffices to
effect a complete cure of the ailment.-
