T'(he Farm,
GAPES AND CHICktNS.

The more the naughty children of Mother
Earth Try to put themselves in accord with
her benctieent laws, the more pure, clear,
few and simple they will become, instead
of being the complex, multifarous and
often contradictory beings they seem to be.
For instance, the simple little disease called
gapes in chickens is a strong case in point.
Treated. in the light OF natural laws com
mou sense it yields readily to the proper
remedy-the same remedy for the same dis
ease that is indicated in the human being;
for we are all essentially the same flesh and
blood, from the tadpole to the President,
and what is good for one is good for the
other. Now, what do we use salt for in
almost every thing we eat f? 1t not only
furnishes no nutriment, pleasure, or any
thing else, but is absolutely poison; and
that is the reason we take it, to prevent
undue termination of worms within US.
The old time Hollanders used to punish
their criminals by giving them unsalted
food, and they were thus soon literally de
Noureu py tue WORMS enSenuefeu III ther
own stomachs.
Now what causes gapes in chickens?
Worms. What is given animals to prevent
this? Salt. But all the books, etc, say
salt will kill chickens. So it would you, if
you took too much, as they often do through
the habit of boiling their food without mas
tication and tasting. In brief, and in fact
when the weather is damp and cool, always
put about rs much salt in the chicks feed
as you would in your own bread and will
answer for the life of every one. | never
lost a chick by gapes in my life, and have
raised thousands.

POTATOES FOR HoRsEs-I once came
near losing very valuable horse from
feeding him dry hay and oats, with nothing
loosening. | have never believed in dosing
horse with medicine; but something is
actually necessary to keep the horse in
right condition. Many use powders, but
potatoes are better, and safer, and cheaper,
if fed judiciously. If those who are not
in the habit Of feeding potatoes to horses
will try them, they will be astonished at
the result. | have known a horse changed
from lazy, dumpish one, to quick,
active, headstrong ANIMAL in five days, by
simply adding two quarts of potatoes to
his feed daily. If very much clear corn
meal is fed, they do not need so many pota-
toes. Too many potatoes are weakening,
and so are too many apples. When | was
a lad, | was away from school one Winter.
and had the care of one horse, one yoke of
oxen, and one COW, every one of which |
had to card or curry every day. The horse
had three pals of water, four quarts of
oats, two quarts of corn every day he
worked, with what hay he wanted, and a
stronger and more active horse, of his
inches, | have never yet seen.

TRANSPLANTING LARGE TREES.

The London Garden gives the details of
some experiments in the removal of trees of
the Cedar of Lebanon upwards to twenty
feet high, which had beeu prepared by root
pruning the previous year. A timber wagon
was backed up with a wheel on each side
of the tree, the pole (tongue) placed up
right, with bundle of straw on the axle
to prevent barking; ropes were passed un-
der the ball of earth and secured it to the
axle, and the stem of the tree was dashed
to the upright pole, a rope at the top of
which pulled the tree down in horizontal
position. The tree was then carried to its
destination. A heavy mulching of leaves
kept the ground moist during the heat of
the summer, and it succeeded WELL The
removal of trees of such size is not to be
recommended in this country of hot and
dry summers; but if previously prepared
by tTansplanting Or cutting the roots, the
tree may be made to succeed, if not too
large. In the cooler and more moist eli
mate of Britain, the operation does better,
but even there some of the best cultivators
have learned to prefer smaller size. Sir
Henry Stewards famous park, made at once
by the removal of large trees, never became
luxuriant and satisfactory in growth. Lou
don said he would undertake to give larger
and better trees from small ones in five
years, by deep trenching and good cultiva-
ton, than could be obtained in the same
by transplantng large ones.
THE VALUE OF THE APPLE.-At a re-
cent meeting of the New York Farmers
Club a member said that of all fruits grown
in the Northern States, the apple is the
most easily raised, the cheapest and the
most durable, and gave the following rota-
ton in the culture of orchards as one that
had been successfully practced: The first
year pillow, manure, and plant potatoes; the
second year plow, manure and SOW oats
and clover, and NOW the oats for foder; the
third year take off the clover crop and pillow
in the fall, preparatory to the potato crop,
which is to follow. Thus the land will be
mapured two years out of three, a good
crop of oats and clover taken off, and a
tolerable crop of potatoes, without appar-
ent injury to the trees. In selecting trees,
varieties such as come into use at different
seasons should be introduced, so as to Sc
cure supply for the whole year. The
common error of setting the trees too near
to each other was referred to and cautioned
against by this member, who thought that
thirty feet apart is much better than nearer,
as apples require both sun and air. No
fruit, unless it be the grape, is more de-
pendent on the sun for its flavor and color
than the apple.

ANTIQUITY OF CHEESE. and cur
ding of the milk are mentioned in the book
of Job. David was sent by his father
Jesse to carry ten cheeses to the camp, and
to look how his brothers Jared. "Cheese
of kline" formed part of the supplies of
David's army at Manhanam, during the
rebellion of Absalom. Homer says that
cheese formed part of the ample stores
found by Ulysses in the cave of the Cyclops
Polyphemus, Eurpides, Theocritus and
other early poets mention cheese. Ludol-
plus says that excellent cheese and butter
were made by the ancient Philippians, and
Strabo states that some of the ancient Bri,
tons were SO ignorant that though they had
abundance of milk, they did not under
stand the art of making cheese. There is
no evidence that any of these ancient ma
tions had discovered the use of rennet in
making cheese; they appear to have merely
allowed the milk to sour and subsequently
to have formed the cheese from the Gaseous
of the milk, after expellng the serum or
whey. AS David, when young, was able
to run to the camp with ten cheeses and
an ephah of parched corn, the cheeses must
have been very small.

OYSTER SHELL OR STONE LIME?-The
question is often asked us, which is best
for farm purposes, the lime made by burn
ing oyster shells, Or that which is made
from burning lime stone? There are diff
ferent opinions on this subject.
From the facts at our command, we be
lieve that the lime of oyster shells is the
better fertilizer, for three reasons:
First-because by the common mode of
burning shells, considerable quantity of
wood ashes and coals-more valuable fer
tiliZers than even lime itself-is left in the
shell; and second-because there is a larger
percentage of phosphate matter in shell
lime; and this phosphate is more scarce
and valuable than lime; and third-in oys
regions shell lime is cheaper and more
10 to the farmers than stone lime.

BURBANK'S READINGS.
The Cincinnati Inquirer says:
lob rooms.

The Cincinnati Inquirer says:
The entertainment given at College Hall
last night by Mr.. A. P. Burbank, under the
auspices of the Unity Club, was delightful
one indeed. Mr.. Burbank is an elocution-
list of more than average ability, and gifted
histrionically very highly. His recitals last
night were nearly all Of a humorous chr
acter, and were given with an JUNCTION and
heartiness that enabled him to excite the
risibilities of his. auditors at will He is a
clever dialectician, and is equally at home
in the "rich Irish brogue or the sweet Ger
man accent" For his selections he is to be
especially praised, for though they were all
familiar none of them were hackneyed and
some of them were very new to
the reading platform. His highest
effort was the depicting of the
troubles of "Surly Tm," Lancashire yer
sion of "Enoch Arden" that was read with
pathos that was exquisitelv touching, and
brought sympethatic tears to every eye in
the assembly. The audience was very
refined and intelligent one and applauded
Mr. Burbank very freely. We hope to have
the pleasure Of hearing him again at no We.
ry distant date.
Mr.. Burbank will appear in Yankton at
! the Congregational church. next Wedncs
day evening.

ASTONISHING SUCCESS.

It is the duty of every person who has
used BoscHEE's GERMAN SYRUP to let us
wonderful qualities be known to their friends
in curing Consumption, severe Coughs,
Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all
throat and lung diseases. No person can
use it without immediate relief. Three
doses will relieve any case, and we consider
it the duty Of all Druggists to recommend
it to the poor dying consumptive, at least
to try one bottle, as 10000 dozen bottles
were sold last year, and no one case where
it failed was reported. Such medicine as
the German SYRUP cannot be too widely
known. Ask your Druggist about it.
Sample Bottles to try at 10 cents. Regu-
lar size 25 cents. For sale by Mills and
