ABRD's sCHARITY.-Last summer pair
of robin redbreasts built their nest in the
vicinity of a fashionable country boarding
house. In due time the heads Of four
young robins were observed by some of
the bOarders peeping above the sides of
the nest, when some thoughtless boys
passing that way shot both the parent
birds, and left the young ones to perish.
The ladies and gentlemen, moved to pity
by the helpless condition of the poor
birds, we're devising plans for their relief,
when little brown wren few to the
nest, surveyed the unfortunate state of
things for moment, then disappeared.
In a few minutes it returned, bearing
food of some kind to the starving robins.
Much surprised at this, the human SYM
pathizers resolved to await further devel-
Opments before proceeding to put their
plan of relief into operation, and were
delighted to find the wren had in real
good earnest assumed the care of the Or
phan family. With untiring energy it
hunted worms and food of such kind as
was suited to the wants and tastes of its
proteges, and continued its kindly offices
until the birds were full hedged and able
to take care of themselves.

KEEPING SoUksHEs.-They should be
kept in a dry place. We prefer a cool
one but we know that they often keep a
long time, sound when they are kept in a
warm place. The decayed ones should
be removed, and not be allowed to come
In contact with others. Farmers who
grow them in quantity have a squash
house, a room set apart expressly for
J them, where they are free from damp
ness as possible, and where FIRE is kept
to prevent their freezing. If only few
are to be preserved, they may be placed
IN closets and elsewhere about the dwell
nng-house, but not in cellar, or other
damp place.

Hungarian Grass.

The following, by a correspondent of
the Western Farm Journal, will answer
some questions asked byou readers con-
cerning this grass. We think a little
heavier seeding than he proposes would
produce finer crop of hay;
Having grown it for the past eighteen
years, l am consequently a friend to
Hungarian hay. 1t stands with me as
No. for cattle, old or young. Nothing
in the West is equal to it for calves or sheep,
if properly handled, cut in proper time
and cured properly. The preparation of
the soil is one prerequisite for good
crop. To secure the most satisfactory re-
suits the ground should be plowed in the
spring, and cross plowed Just before seed
ing. That time with me is from the
first to the tenth of June. After being
-plOwed the ground should be well
narrowed. If the twice blowing and
narrowing are we'll done good seed bed
is provided for the seed. Sow one-half
bushel of good seed to an acre if for hay,
if sown for seed one-third of bushel
As to time to sow: If the work on the
farm is such that on or about the Goth of
July the time can be had to cut, cure and
stack, then SOW the first of June; if it
can not be attended to before August,
then SOW June 10th; as a rule, it will be
fit to cut in fifty days from the time of
sowing the seed if for hay, if for seed let
it stand until the seed is pretty ripe Sow
on the seed bed as above described and
brush in, then roll. Just before shower
or showery time, is very desirable and
necessary for good start. If the ground
is we'll prepared, season favorable and
soil good, we may safely expect to get
three tons to the acre. l have obtained
four and a-half tons, but that is extra. For
hay it should be cut when the seed is in
the milky state; if cut then and we'll

TO milch COWS, the butter made from
them will be of a good rich cofer, and
will keep COWS in a good condition.
When it is sown for seed, when ripe cut
with cradle or machine aad
bind in bundles as grain; thresh with
fail or threshing machine; the straw or
ripe hay is worth saving for feed. Its
value is about the same as timothy straw
or ripe hay after the seed is threshed off.
The seed is usually kept at our seed stores,
worth in Chicago now from seventy
five cents to one dollar per bushel."

MoULTTNe FowLs.-Weare accustomed
to see the poultry left to its own unhap-
piness during moulting season, and the
'masterly inactivity" withwhich fanciers
permit birds to look after themselves is
almost epidemic. The moultiug season
is really the most trying to fowls, and if
nature can be assisted in the process of
changing the feathers real benefit will
be done. The blood is during the moult-
ing period heavily drawn from for the
materials which compose the feathers,
and sllthough birds may at the outset be
strong and healthy, the drain upon their
system is so great that they are weakened
and debilitated, and their laying pro-
clivities are entirely abandoned. If we
are able to give as food elements which
will quickly replace the exhausted con-
stituents of the blood, we obviously as
sist in the transformation. We have
found that fowls supplied with refuse,
ground bone, and powdered scorched
oyster shells moult quick and do not lose
their strength and vivacity to any per-
ceptible degree. If their drinking water
is supplied with rusty iron, all the better,
and one drink of milk each day is of
great value.

The WAY OUT OF DEBT-Farmers
must bear in mind there is no way but a
hard one out of debt. Signing and wish
ing to be out of debt will never get one
out. If man is in a mire be will re-
main there till he dies, unless he strug-
giles to get on hard soil. To get out of
debt,one must sell more than be buys. He
must make his income greater than his out
goes. He must earn more than he spends.
He must receive more than he pays out
He must so manage as to lessen his in
debtedness somewhat every year. He
must be economical and not extravagant.
He must certainly know at the end Of the
year what his receipts and expenses have
been. He can then tell what the future
prospects will be of becoming free man.
A man who is in debt is not free man.
He is a slave. He belongs to his credit
ors, and the deeper his indebtedness, the
worse his slavery. He is not 9 happy
man. His mind is harrassed to meet bis
obligations. If be fails to do it, he suf-
fers indescribable misery. So, farmers,
be on the safe side. Manage to get out
of debt. Keep out. Save. Economize
Market everything you can when it is in its
best state for market. Sell this year more
than you buy.-OoIemGn's Rural World.

any one will put an ear of ripe corn into the
fire until the grains are we'll charred, and then
she'll off the corn and throw it to his flock, he
will see an eagerness developed and a healthy
condition brought about which will make
decided improvement. All pale combs will

SUDDEN VIsITATIoNs OF GoD.-Have not
all of US often seen men and women who,
though not embittered by sudden visitation
of God, have still been undone by it; have
lost all hope, all spiritual ambition, and have
given over all struggle for better things in des.
pair? God has come into household and
taken from mothers arms little one whose
presence trans6gured her life That child
made the world more blessed. But suddenly
God called it to himself Do describe an
unusual case when say that the aftliction
has not embittered her, has not made her
skeptical? But the light of her life is gone,
and she lives henceforth in the past alone.
She is fitted for no service she is burden
to herself; she finds no joy in the relief Of
others !; she strives no longer after higher life.
All is gone in the sudden transition from hap
piness to grief which God appointed. But I
will not add examples. The subject is one of
which every day and every condition of life is
full of illustration. My one endeavor has
been to place clearly before you this aolemn
fact and the dangers to your souls in these
violent changes.-Reu. John De0iu.

IMPROVED STARcH.-A beautiful finish
can, it is said, be given to articles to be starch
ed by taking one.fourth of a pound of starch
and working it over and kneading it with a
little water, then placing FIVE or six pints of
water in a pan and adding to this very
small quantity of powdered borax, small
piece Of sugar and a fragment of white wax
about the size of hazel nut, and heating the
whole sufficiently. This water is then to be
added to the starch, stirring it continually
and mixingsthe two together until the whole
is as thick as convenient for application. If
the articles are to be made quite stiff, the
strength of the starch may be increased two
or three-fold.
