n Favor Of Deep Flowing.

/ am glad to see that the advocates
of shallow blowing are not to 90 en-
tirely unchallenged. | will hazard the
opinion that could vote be had upon
this question among our most intelli-
gent farmers, the result would be a
heavy majority in favor of the "deep"
with the back counties still to hear
from. Still / would not advocate
deep blowing under all circumstances.
Ground which has never been plowed
over three or four inches, would,
without doubt, be injured by being
plowed eight inches, but let the depth
be gradually increased, say not to ex-
coed ono inch in any one year, and ju-
diciously continued for a term of
years, occasionally turning under a
green crop of either clover, rye or
Hungarian, and there is no doubt but
that the depth and fertility Of the soil
win be greatly increased, which will
be so manifest in the crops that there
will be no room for argument.
Deep blowing, or where new soil or
dirt is to be turned up, should be al
ways done in the fall, thus allowing
the elements to perform their kindly
Office upon it, comingling with the
old soil and proving both, provid-
ing there is not too much of the new.

How to Set Canariss.


A large case must be used, and the
bottom of it must be kept covered
with clean sand, and when it is chang
ed it must be done speedily and quiet
", SO as not TO disturb the sitter. The
nest can be made of little basket, or
half of a small cocoanut shell, lined
with flannel or felt, and little cotton
wool and dried moss given to them in
side the cage, to adapt it to their own
wants. Some breeders take away the
egg every morning, putting a small
bit of chalk in its place, but think it
is just as well to let ii remain in the
nest. While the hen is sitting give
her little fresh lettuce and chick
weed to cat, and some stale bread
crumbs, mixed with the hard yolk Of
an egg. If the cock is pleasant and
feeds her kindly, let him stay with the
hen; but if his temper is ugly, and he
drives her about and scolds Justify,
take him out and hang his cage very
near. The cages should have south
erly aspect, and the room should be
cool, and without light at night.
When the birds hatch, give bread
crumbs softened with little milk and
hard-boiled eggs, and let the seed and
water cups be well filed all the time.

Sand, if not the best is one of the
best articles used for bedding cattle
Il is a good decd orizer and keeps the
stable sweet. AS the cattle work it
back into the trench under their feet
it mixes with the manure, and thus di-
yides ii and makes it the more suita-
bic for the use of plants. If the dis
lance TO haul it is mott great, its very
cheapness ought to recommend it. Ia
barns that have no cellars, where il IS
used freely, it would absorb large
amount Of urine that is now wasted.
Soil and muck are dirty things to use
in stable, but sand is clean. Then,
too, ii is a nice thing TO use under hen
roosts to receive the droppings, which
can be easily raked of and kept in
barrels, and in the spring mixed with
fine COW manure-one part of the for.

Corn.

From the best adyices at hand it
seems almost certain that the corn
crop of Illinois and Eastern Missouri,
Will be much below the average. a
correspondent writing to the Ameri-
can Exchange, New York, from Han
nibal, Missouri, says:
"That we ere about TO have a poor
corn crop the coming season seems
now more than probable, yet it is too
early to venture positive opinion.
That there is a large contraction in
the area planted there is no doubt, and
every favoring circumstance from this
time forward TO maturity viii be nee
essary for a good crop. Millions of
acres of corn ground are even now
covered with water. Yesterday l
passed through four thunder storms,
one of which was hail, that fell in suf-
fcient quantity to cover the ground,
and the feeling among farmers is GER
tainly quite gloomy just now.

Feeding Green Car1.


We say any time after corn planting
for field crop has commenced plant
some for fall feedirg-it viii get large
enough by August when the pasture
has begun to fail We would not SOW
it broadcast as we often sceit done,
out would drill It in, using every 9TH
er drill. 1t then can be cut with corn
knife, following the rows. We have
often seen corn sowed and drilled so
thick that it could not grow more than
about two or two and half feet. We
consider such stuff almost worthless,
and very great deal of trouble to cut
and cure. We think it should be sown
just thick enough to prevent its ear
ing, then the stalk contains the great
est amount Of saccharine or sugar
matter, and that being the object we
wish to attain we would caution farm
ers not TO SOW too thick. We cannot
give just the quantity Of seed requir-
ed, as the kernels of the different va
rieties differ IN size SO much, but
think one bnshel per acre about right.
We have had our hogs get quite fleshy
on the sweet they have got by chewing
the stalks, and the larger the stalks
grow the better. We consider il one
of the most necessary crops q farmer
can grow TO keep up the flow of milk
when the pasture has almost failed

Sawdpst for Cleaning Horses.

have been experimenting to find a
way TO avoid the dust that is so disa-
greeable when grooming horses, and
have found a way by which a very
dirty horse may be cleaned in very
few minutes. use oak sawdust,sthat
which comes from green log is just
moist enough TO be good. have tried
pine sawdust, but did not like it, be-
cause after time the pitch that is in
it will make the hair sticky and of a
dull color. Sprinkle few handfuls
on the horse, on the side that you are
on; then commence at the tail, and
with q circular motion of the curry
comb toward the head, curry the saw
dust into the hair; brush off and ap-
ply another busting, and brush off
clean, and the dust and dandruf will
be removed without flying around. If
the legs are muddy, ill the face of
stiff brush again, aud proceed as be-
fore. This operation taxes off all dirt
and dust and leaves the hair clean and
glossy.

Trichina.

The danger that attaches to the eat
ing of fresh pork, insufficiently cook
ed, appeared TO be greater than the
majority of people imagine. The tri-
chime that infect this meat are so mi
mute as to escape inspection, however
rigid, unless the microscope is brought
into use. On Saturday night Mr.. A.
Brown, at the corner of Seventh street
and Chouteau Avenue, purchased
several pounds of pork at Centre mar
ket. Being an adept with the micro
scope and having paid some attention
to the trichina question, he concluded
to make microscopic examination of
his purchase. 1t was very fortunate
conclusion of his, for the meat though
presenting to the unaided eye the or
binary appearance, was found to be
literally alive with trichine. Samples
of the meat were sent yesterday to-
DR.. Auler, the coroner, who is given
to microscopic studies, and to the
health commissioner, for examination.
DR.. Auler, during the afternoon,
prepared q sample of the meat for in
spection, and by placing it under the
microscope, was able to confirm the
statements of Mr.. Brown. In the mi
mute space within the radius of the
glass were counted fifteen of the spir-
ais, all well defined. How general
was the distribution of this meat, by
its sale in the market, there are no
means Of ascertaining, but the pre-
sumption is reas enable that il went
into score of families and was con-
snmed yesterday by all, excepting the
case brought to notice. The coroner,
In conversation relative to the mat
ter, said there was no doubt that con-
siderable of the meat sold was affect
ed with trichine spirals, and that in
his opinion the only way to prevent
its being used for human food was to
adopt system of meat inspection
that should be most rigid. The symp-
toms following the eating of affected
meat were similar to those of typhoid
fever, and as many physicians had
made little or no examination of the
trichin@ question, and were not pre-
pared to recognise the presence of the
dread disorder, it was the opinion of
the coroner that the trichin@ cut into
the ranks of the meat eaters deeper
than would be shown by the mortality
records of the board of health
