ing a good deal of water if to be ap'

We can well take lesson from
our Japanese neighbors, land who are
not neighbors in this age Of steam
locomotion p in the matter of farm
economy for all along the highways
of the more settled portions OF that
empire, at proper distances apart, are
placed cement cisterns in which the
wayfarer, whether of high or low de:
gree, must bear part in the general
economy or be subject to penalty for
unnecessary wastage. Then overseers
are appointed whose duty it is to at
tend to the proper collection, prepa-
ration and distribution of the fertiliz-
ing product therefrom; thus the Lands
are enriched and made capable of
sustaining the teeming population OF
the Oriental Empire.
Another wastage of ours is daily
witnessed in our poultry yards.
The droppings from only ten head
of fowls are we'll worth saving, and
easily saved, if they are made to
roost over a tight floor lightly
spread with sand or dust TO abb
sorb the fluid portions. Many OF
us keep many fowls and make no eft.
fort to save their droppings. Exper-
fence has shown me that it is q great
wastage, and now | look to my
poultry tor my supply of guano each
Spring. This past year the savings
from about forty head of fowls
amounted to some twelve barrels, and
my corn patch to-day attests the
value OF that economy.
1t is safe to say that the night soil Of
an ordinary sized family added to the
savings from the poultry and the
addition of plenty of common char
coal will suffice to iertilize ten acres
of open lands if properly used.

A Deadwood Pastoral.

a middle-aged woman by the name of
Lowell, who lives in a suburb OF Deadwood
called EliZabethtown, has earned for her
self during her sojourn in the hills n wide
spread reputation as virago. Her first
exploit was only three months AGO. when.
armed with Colts navy, she stampcded
several miners from work on a quartz mine
near her residence, claiming the mine near
her own. a month or six weeks later Of
hcers of the law attempted to arrest her on
a.warrant sworn out by a man who claimed
she had driven him from a town lot (his
property at the point of a six-shooler. On
beholding the officers approach she baTri-
caded herself in her house and refused adj
mission to them, with a warning that if
they attempted to force the door she would
shoot them down. The officers tried per-
suasion, strategy, and every means but
force, but she remained obdurate through
out, standing at the window with two a.
calibre revolvers, one in each hand. pre-
pared, as she said, for business, if they
should attempt force The officers return

SAND FOR SrABLEs.-For the past two
years | have used considerable sand to
good advantage, both to my crops and
land, as an absorbent. For this pur-
pose / constructed on tho back side of
the stable two boxes, one mt each end of
the stable, about five feet i'm width, ten
feet in length and six in height, filling
them through the summer and fall with
dry sand using il with little trouble or
labor for the cows through the winter.
The use of sand keeps the stable dry
and sweet, and also absorbs most ofthe
liquid manure, Sand also cuts the man
ure, sothat it IS more easily worked and
spread. ] had before used sand to some
extent; but, having no convenient
place to store it when dry, could not
use 1t in winter. ! have also found
sand excellent for mixing i'm the hog
pen, making the manure fine. ! have
USED such manure TO advantage for pota-
toes i'm the hill, as well as for corn"

LII HEALTH on THE FARN.-In the
first place, all farmers should look well
10 their cellars In too many of them
VIII be found rotten apples, cabbages,
turnlps, onions, DC. In some will be
found old brine, with pieces of decay
ed meat, sending forth an odor. when
the cover of the barrel Is taken on, vile
enough TO wrench the stomach of a pig.
In others there will be musty cider bar
rels, possibly vinegar casks, i'm which
the vinegar has passed on To the pctre-
factive stage, disseminating the spores
OF decay and death, not only through
the upper part of the house, but even
escaping through the cellar windows
and polluting the outdoor air. Decay
ing wood generates one of the most sub
tie OF pOiSonS, because the Odor is not
particularly offensive. Rotten tlmbers
In the cellar and mouldy wood or chips
In the woodhouse fill the air with spores
which breathed by person in the full
vigor OF health may be thrown of with
lmpunity but inhaled by one whose
blood Is low may find congenial seed
bed and generate disease. Under the
cider and vinegar barrels, and potato
bins, may be found old timbers and
boards that are full of dry rot, ready to
propagate itself wherever the rotten
well, rotten wood is Il subtle poison,
more dangerous than a decomposin9
toad, as the latter makes its presence
known, while few tastes are so keen as
TO detect the presence ofdecaying wood.
Probably the most prolific source of di-
sease around the farmhouse is the cess
pool into which pass the kitchen and
chamber slips. In the cities and large
villages these are carried off i'm the
sewers, but seldom does farmhouse
have any system of sewerage. The
Slops are too often thrown out of the
Kitchen door, and left to generate vile
odors on the surface of the ground. To
keep the air Of the cellar and around the
house sweet and pure, we have never
found anything more economical, pleas
amt and efiicacious than a free sprink-
ling, rs occasion may demand, OF dry
air-Slacked lime. Chloride of lime is a
greater absorbent ofvile Odors, but this
Is Itself offensive To most olfactory
nerves, and is also quite expensive.
Common lime is cheap, and if scattered
freely in the cellar and wherever there
are impurities, Will render the air sweet
and wholesome, even IN the most decom-
posing dog-days.

Sailing SToCK.-One of the most
important things to attend to i'm the
care OF farm stock Of every kind, is that
they have access at all times to salt.
In this connection we would again call
attention 10 the practice In vogue with
many farmers, in that they salt ire
gularly, and at such times with too IL
beral hand Thus animals will gorge
themselves, and this often results in
severe purging. Again, when salt is
thrown about on the ground to be licked
up, the larger animals get more than
they should, and the smaller ones little
or none. Besides, INJURY to weak ami
mails is often the result of this struc-
gle. The proper way to salt stock is
to have salt placed under cover, where
they may get 1t every day If they wish.
In this way they take just what they
want and no more, and while eating
W hat is necessary for them, thoy never
take enough to do them injury. Thus
cattle will seldom take more than an
ordinary tablespoonful per day, and
this is about what they require i'm sum
mer as an aid to proper digestion.
