The Value Of Eggs.
TAmerican Arriculturist I

As hen may be expected to lay about
12 dozen OF eggs, weighing Is pounds, and
to consume 10 pounds OF corn in the year,
it follows that for each pound OF eggs, 80
pounds of corn are used. There is NO other
animal product afforded so cheaply. Five
pounds of corn costs now about g cents, and
dozen eggs, which are the product OF that
quantity OF corn, are worth on an average
during he year 20 cents. \ brood of 10
chicks may be brought TO weight of = lbs.

1t is not only possible, but easy, to bring
a heiier, that has not yet had cali, or that
has not even been bred 10 bull, into milk.
All that is necessary is to excite the lac

by the action Of milking with the hands or

We do not think it would come amiss to
give one or two recipes, that are within the
reach Of almost every one, for summer
complaint One Is TO make a tea of the
rag-weed lit grows on nearly every farm /;
make it in the usual wsy by pod6pg hot
water on it, and give it until the patient is
relieved. Our informant says ke never
knew it to fail when properly adj kistered.
Another is to take one pint Of clean oats,
brown the same as coffee but not to be
ground, put in vessel with two quarts Of
water, then simmer over the fire and reduce
to one quart; when cool pour it off and
sweeten with loaf sugar. For an adult one
tumblerful in almost all cases will afford
relief.
A Good Price Can Always be Obsain.
ed for u Good Araicies
tExchange.l
The market is rarely so overstockei that
the best does not command a good price.
The farmer whose butter is strictly gilt
edged, sweet and pure, whose eggs arc al
ways fresh and of good size, whose vegeta-
bIes are always of the best variety, full
grown fresh, and offered in shape to please
the eve, will get his price, even il it be a
little above market rates, and be welcomed
wherever he goes, while his neighbor who
fails in these respects will have to put up
with what he can get, find few regular Gus
TONERS and these of the least desirable
class, and often has to carry his load home
again because no one wants it At any price.

Weeds Can Only he Killed by Beim,
Put Deep Under Ground.
IEYchan0al

The seeds OF most Of our WORT annual
weeds, such as pig-weed, green amaranth,
fox-tail, rag-weed and mustard, are quite
small, and will not grow if buried in COM
pact soil over an inch in depth. This is
the reason that when the ground once be-
comes infested, it takes so long a time to
eradicate them, The plowing and the har-
rowing must be repeated many times, until
every part of the soil, down as far as the
pillow reaches, is successively exposed to the
action OF the air. In this way crop after
crop of weeds is destroyed, until the soil is
purged of them.

Poultry will frequently drop their feath-
ers when over-ied upon corn, buckwheat, or
other heating food. The remedy is to feed
only chopped cabb age or turnips, or turn
them into grass field for few days. A
few pills of CASTLE soap, or half a tea
spoonful of castor oil, will be OF benefit.
About the Care of ornamental Plants
The Leavenworth weekly times., 1878-07-04

Professor Lawes makes, in letter to
MoOTes Ruqi, the striking statement that
the obstruction OF weeds and more careful
cultivation would be quite as eiiicaciOus in
increasing the produce OF the State OF New
York crops as the employment of artificial
manures." Who doubts that clean culture
the complete extermination of weeds
would be equally as efficacious for the
increase OF crops in the State OF Kansas as
in New York?

pies.
lProE. B.al, of Michigan

The young tree must be treated very
much as you would treat a hill of corn
Hoed crops will answer in young orchard.
Sowed crops will do much harm to young
trees. 1t is a good plan to keep young
trees mulched- 1t prevents the rapid evap-
Grafton of moisture from the soil, keeps
the surface mellow, prevents the soil from
freezing and thawing in winter, and becom-
ing over-heated in summer Whether to
cultivate or not can be told by the looks O
the trees. Ii the color of the leaves is
good and the growth all right, and the
trees bear we'll of fine fruit, they are doing
enough even in grass. To Judge of the
condition of an apple tree is much like
judging OF the condition of sheep in pas
ture.

The Tobacco Dip for sheep.
Prairie Farmer. 2S.l


Efficacy considered, tobacco forms the
cheapest dip for sheep. For one-hundred
sheep take twenty-five pounds of common
coarse tobacco, and steep it in as many gal
Ions of boiling water, just taken from the
fire. Stir it occasionally until it is cold,
when it should be strained. Add to this
fluid so much cold water as to make the
whole quantity one hundred gallons. 1t is
not necessary to add soft soap but the ad-
dition Of six pounds to the above quantity
of fluid, would undoubtedly enhance its
efficacy, by facilitating the loosening of the
patches OF scab. The soap should be dis
solved in sufficient quantity of warm wa
ter, and added to the strained liquid, be.
fore the cold water is added and the whole
compound should be contained in large
tub, into which the sheep, one by one,
should br dipped by two men, one Of whom
holds the, head above the surface TO prevent
the sheep from swallowing any of the
poisonous fluid. Three TO four minutes Of
immersion is sufficient; after which the
sheep should be taken out and laid on its
side On an inclined plane Of boards, con-
nected with the tub, 30 that the fluid, wrung
out OF the wool, Is not lost. While laying
on this plAk, the head Of the sheep should
be thoroughly wetBed with the fluid. The
sbeep should then be turned into q clean

From Caldwell. diagonally through Sum-
ner county, from southwest 10 northeast, We
pass through one stupendous farm, unfenced
except occasionally where a farmer, more
fortunate than his neighbors, has fenced in
a few acres for pasture. This county
claims about 10000 acres Of wheat this
year, and if the balance Of the county is as
thickly sown as that through which pass
ed, the claim is not exaggerated. yelling
ton, the county seat, bears evidences Of
Thrift and prosperity, and the statement
that it has doubled in size and population
during the last year would not appear to be
untrue. 1t would seem that it would pay
to extend the railroad down into that coun-
try, for the carrying OF the wheat from that
country clear to Wichita is pretty hard on
the farmer, taking OF large percentage Of
his profit.
AT Wichita We strike the old favorIte A,
7. & s +. r. T., and after about three hun
dred and fifty miles of riding by horse
power, railroad is real luxury. Thir-
teen hours from Wichita brings me TO the
metropolis of Kansas; and in all l have
seen there are great possibilities, but they
are in the dim future, while here is the full
fruition-a thriving and popuiOus city, busy
and contented merchants and artizans, and
luxurious and happy homes.

Relief for wind. Broken Horses
lAmerican Agriculturist.l

Broken wind consists of violent breath
ing, with Wheeling after severe exertion.
1t is caused by permanent thickening Of
the lining membrane of the bronchial
tubes, and is therefore incurable. All that
can be done to ease is to feed lightly to be
careful against distending the stomach with
food or water, and to avoid unusual exer-
ton Arsenic, in daily tive-grain doses,

Farmers should by all Means Keep
ONT Of DE hf.
"u1g VI ~ OUO
Kansas Spirit, 8.l

1t is said there are exceptions to all gem
eral rules, but to the rule Of keeping out Of
debt, so far as the farmer is concerned,
there can be in our opinion no exception.
The rule should be rigid, positive, univer-
sal. Total abstinence is the only safe and
true doctrine in this, as in liquor drinking.
Eat the coarsest and simplest food, dress in
the plainest style, cut off every luxury,
forego every selfish qualification, rather
than allow yourself to be encumbered with
debt. Every farm product is pretty sure
to rule low for some time to come, and
strict economy is the only safe road to in
dependence. With habits ofindustry, tenn
perance, economy and a stern resolve not
to run in debt, the farmer is just as certain
to zee better times as effect is to follow
