Mellow soil Around Trees.

Unless the surface of the ground is
mulched around young trees over an
area of six TO ten feet in diameter, the
ground should be kept clean and mel
low. Every farmer knows that hill
of corn or potatoes will not amount TO
much unless cultivated, and yet there
are ,any who will neglect TO give the
same care TO a tree that is worth hun
dred hills of either of the former. In
rich soil trees may grow rapidly without
cultivation, and no amount of grass or
weeds will retard them; but there are
other things besides these to be looked
after. If the weeds and grass are allow
ed to grow up around the stem of apple,
peach, or ounce trees, the bark will be
come soft near their base by being shaded,
and thereby in suitable condition for
the reception of the eggs which will
eventually become peach or apple
borers. Take any dozen young apple
trees in sections where the apple
borer is abundant, and allow a por-
tion to be choked with weeds, and the
remainder we'll cultivated, and then
watch the result. From our expert
ence, we believe the chances are nine

TO Mnkc Hens Lay.

A writer in the Ohio Farmers gives
the following method for making hens
lay;
Put two or mere quarts Of water in q
kettle, and one large seed pepper, or two
small ones, then put the kettle over the
fire. When the water boils, stir in
coarse ground Indian meal, until you
make thick mush. Let il cool an hour
or 30. Feed hot. Horse raddish chop
ped fine, and stirred into mush as pre-.
pared in the above directions, and for re-
suits we are getting five to ten eggs per
day; whereas previous 80 feeding we
had not had eggs for long time. We
hear great deal of complaint from
other people about not getting eggs. To
such we would warmly recommend
cooked food fed hot. Boiled apple skins,
seasoned pepper; or boiled potatoes, sea-
soned wish horseraddish, is good for
feed--much better than uncooked corn.
Corn, when fed to the hen by itself, has
a tendency to fattcn hens instead of pro-
ducing the more profitable egg-laying.
A spoonful Of sulphur stirred with their
feed occasionally will rid them of vermin
and tone up their systems. 1t is espe-
cially good for young chickens or
turkeys. Out of q flock of ten hatched
last November, we have lost but one.
They have been fed cooked feed mostly,
and are growing finely.

Ntrm " berry GrouIng.

Whilst admitting the Importance OF
soil, climate, and a good variety in the
successful growing of strawberries, | am
yet inclined TO believe that, with careful
cultivation, very fine fruit may be grown
in all garden soils. The great mistake
made by many is planting too thickly at
the first, and allowing the plants to re-
main from year to year on the same bed.
Thus we often find the plants growing
together in tangled mass, and the re-
suit is when pinch of dry weather
comes in June or July, they receive a
serious check, the quality of the fruit is
deprecated, and the constitution of the
plant weakened, possiblyso much so that
the plants are unable to mature their
fruitiDg crowns for the following sea on.
Thus the plants 20 on from bad to worse.
Such "lazy bed" system will fully
account for some varieties growing and
cropping well for n few years, and then
becoming almost barren and the fruit
nearly havorless."

She walked around it two or three times,

FARM AND GARDEN.
Planting Corn In Drtiis.

Among the experiments Of the Kan
sas agricultural college last year, was
one having for its object to ascertain the
relative values of the two methods OF
planting corn in hills and in drills.
-Four plats were laid of across q portion
of the field very uniform rs 10 the char
acter of the soil. Each plat contained
four rows of corn, the rows being three
and a half feet apart. In the first plat
the corn was planted in drills, in the
second in dlills after the common fash
ion again, the third was planted in
drills and the fourth in hills. When the
corn was about six inches high the drill
ed plats were thinned out, leaving the
stalks as nearly as possible ten inches
apart in the rows; the plats in hills were
likewise thinned out, leaving the same
number of stalks in every plat throughout
the experiment. In cultivating the
plats care was taken to give each the
same treatment, and beyond thinning,
hoeing once and cultivating twice, no
special treatment was given the plats.
The corn was husked November II, and
the weighings showed for the drilled
plats a yield of seventy.one bushels per
acre, for the plats in hills sixty.two and
a halt bushels per acre, an advantage in
favor of the method of planting in drill,
of eight and half bushels per acre. by
the "bushel" OF corn mentioned in these
experiments is TO be understood in every
case seventy-two pounds fears.

THE IMPORTANT QuEsTION.

or all loathsome diseases Catarrh stan DIS
preeminent. 1t renders its victim as dis
gusting to himself as to others. And the
most humiliating of all is the consciousness
that his presence is offensive to those around
him. If any disease deserves the name OF
universal, IL is this. Detetic errors and the
folies which Fashion imposes upon us tend
to foster and disseminate it. To the pitiful
cry of its victims, is there any cure for Ca.
tarrh? there is but one answer consistent
with Christian reason. God has never sent
one evil into the world for which he has not
sent the remedy. For the greatest OF all
spiritual and moral evils, the Great Ply
sican has prescribed a potent and never
failing remedy. lie has given explicit rules
for the treatment and preservation of the
spiritual and moral man. but He is silent in
all matters relating to the physical man.
IL wonld be an unwarrantable detraction
from His benefcent character to suppose
that He has afflicted the greater portion OF
humanity with an incurable disease. The
day Of plaques is past The God Of Christ
ianity is II God of Love, of Mercy, His mes
sage is "good will to AL men" The earth
and all contained therein was intended by
the great Designer to supply mans wants
and surely he has no greater wants than rem
cdies for his intirmitics. Science is rapidly
proving that the earth is fitted to supply
mans uttermost need. New medicinal plants
are constantly being discovered aud new
properties developed from those already
known. For tatarrh, the most potent rem.
edy yet discovered is DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. Its efficacy has been tested in
many thousand eases with uniform success.
Cases that had been repeatedly pronounced
incurable, readily yielded toit. In confirmed
or obstinate eases, DIR. Perce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery should he taken in connection
with the use of the Catarrh Remedy. Full
