not too far from the buildings-is n

be kept clean by removing them a
short distance each day and sprink-
ling them and their immediate sur.
roundings with coal oil or diluted
carbolic acid. 4 few drops Of coal
oil may be mixed in their feed once a
day, and a morscl OF gum camphor
put in their drinking water once
day. These precautions will serve
rs protection and will not injurc
the chicks. Ordinary hen lice do not
produce the cape worm. as some
seem to think; but they must be kept

the chicks. Keep the chicks and
their coops clean. spade or plough all
the ground to which they have ac.
cess, use coal oil and carbolc acid
as directed, feed with judgment, keep
the chicks out of the wet. and the
gapes will not be very formidable.

Borers in Apple Trees.

Now is good time, says n writer
in the Rural Sun, TO cut out these
pests where they have not been at
tended to.
A few days ago | went over an or
chard that has fallen into my hands,
and in one days work think many
valuable trees have been saved. AS
many as Eve full grown borers were
cut out of one tree five inches in di-
ameter. In some instances these
were found running up the trunk six
inches, and not over an inch apart
parallel. IL takes very close search
ing some times to find them. Some
times thin wire can bc used with
good effect, when the knife and chisel
can hardly reach them. In quite II
number of instances found that the
spotted woodpecker had done the
work for me. They seem TO know
just " here to find them when above
ground, and rarely fail TO bring them
out. They need not peck a large
place at all times, as their hard point
ed, barbed tongue can be inserted
and haul them out. 1t should he "A
rule among all To let these useful
birds live undisturbcd. They are
tame, and boys are prone To stone
them, or, when beginning to shoot,
practice on the poor fellows.
When "A tree is completely girdlcd
by the borcr or mice, it can often be
saved by taking twigs Of last years
growth, cutting wedge shape at both
ends, and inserting in the bark be-
low and above the injury, thus con
ycying the sap through them. Thus
have We saved many a valuable tree
that would otherwise not have sur
yiyed the summer. Aflcr cutting
out borcrs fill up with earth over the
wound, and they will heal up If not
too severe.

Setting ont Trees.

Now that the season for trans
planting fruit trees is upon us, we
give the following good practical di.
rections furnished by 7. Barry of the
Mount Hope Nurseries, to the Ro-
chester Democrat:
The Soil for Fruit Trees.--The average
soil to be found in the garden of any
part Of our city, Is good enough in its
natural state. All it needs il good deep
blowing or spading, to fit it for the
trees.
IL must be free from stagnant water.
No one would think of permitting the
garden which surrounds his dwelling to
remain swamp. For health's sake
the drainage must be perfect The
health OF fruit trees requires this too.
Hop 70 Pl1ni.-Inexperienccd persons
are very apt to make great fuss over
the planting Of tree, or they will run
to tho other extreme and cram 1t into
the ground as they would bean pole.
Very common errors are planting too
deeply and applying manure around
the roots. No manure is needed at
time OF planting-wait till the tree gets
TO growing and then apply the manure.
If needed, on the surface of the ground
over the roots
Dig a hole large enough and deem
enough TO receive the roots spread out
in their natural way, and so that the
tree will stand no deeper in the ground
than 1t did in the nursery then fill in
good surface earth among the roots
carefully, filing every space. When
the spaces are all filled and the roots
covered, then begiu TO pack the earth
as it goes in, and keep packing firmly
till the work is complete. To the or.
rors | have already mentioned
planting and manure at the roots
will add the other-loose planting,
which Is very general and very fatal.
DO not be afraid Of making the earth
too firm about the roots.
Tie Use Of Water in Piantinq.-u IL

ping to inquire why. Unless the soil
IS extremely dry, in the spring. and the
tree has already commenced 10 grow,
water does more harm than good. And

seasonable Suggestions.

A few quarts Of soaked corn scat

ing crop is too large for the crows
70 pull, is n better and cheaper pro.
lection than any scarecrow and it
encourages the crows TO visit the
field TO hunt for worms, grubs, and
noxious insects later in the season.
If all OF our ihscctivorous birds were
encouraged to visit the grain fields
and orchards, there would be less oc-
casion to fight insect pests by more
expensive methods.
If we should give tables of differ.
ences as between inferior seed, com.
mon seed, good seed, and superior
seed, our figures could scarcely be
considered as trustworthy, such a
difference in crop would be shown.
A correspondent says that no bind,
rat, or mouse will eat any vegetable
substance that is well coated with
red lead. lie says he just damps the
seeds, and then stirs n little of the
iead among them until they get quite
red.

Farm Buildings.

Perhaps no other class of build
ings in the world are put up with
more care, in proportion to their cost,
MS to substantially and permanence,
than the barns, milk houses, &c, of the
well to do farmer, and yet they are,
rs rule inconvenient, often badly
located, and too frequently but lily
adapted to the purposes for which
they were designed. And this, per-
haps, is not to be wondered at. The
work of the practical farmer leaves
him but little time TO devote To the
study of building plans, and his life
of manual labor Is not calculated to
develop whatever of the architect
there may possibly be in him. And
on the other hand those who make
the study Of architecture and the
erection of buildings their life work,
have no practical knowledge of the
requirements of farm buildings. In
other words it is seldom that the
successful and intelligent architect is
found in the person Of the progress
siye, go-ahead, live farmer, and it
would seem that this combination is
required to plan perfect farm build.
ings. That there are such men is
proven by the number of really good
farm buildings to be found through
out the country, but they are so few
as to constitute only the exceptions
which prove the rule. This is one Of
the many things in life in which
thought, skill and experience will
tell with great effect, and make n
given expenditure of money produce
greatly better results.
We have been led to pen these re-
Elections by reading a couple of cir
cular descriptions of plans Of mod
cl milk house and model farm stable,
by Prof J. Wilkinson, the veteran
rural architect and vcntilating engi-
neer, of Havard, Ill. Prof. W. is an
old farmer, and an agricultural writ
er, editor and architect of an expert
ence of much more than an average
life time. The plan, of course, We
have not seen, rs Mr.. Wilkinson sells
them, making this n part Of his bust
ness, but the circulars describing
them embrace much that is new and
novel, and indicate that the perma-
nent objects sought by the plans are
and economy iu the fullest
possible degree. BY sending ten
cents to Prof w. either circular
may be obtained, and the matter in
them will be found worth many times
the cost, whether one desires to build
either of the structures or not. Their
length forbids their reproduction in
the DEMOCRAT, but their cost is small,
and we particularly advise all who
contemplate building at any future
time to send for them.

We HAVE for some days past

two weeks ago, and are confirmed in
our good opinion of it. For all pur-

poor work with it-at least it affords

ing, will probably find himselfin error.
What we do mean is, that with the
same skill, experience and judgment.
this plow will do better work, and
more OF it, and with less hard labor
of man and team, than any other
we have ever used. When properly
regulated-and tue facilities for reg
ulating it are excellcnt--it will cut a
furrow of uniform width and depth,
almost without holding. We cannot,
as yet, speak as to its durability and
wearing qualifications, but from what
we have seen believe them to be
equal to the best, and will make fur.
ther report upon this point.

WE ARE indebted to Commissioner
lie Due for copy of his report on
Sheep Iusbandry in the United
States, furnished to the Senate in
compliance with resolution passed
in June last. 1t is quite voluminous,
covering one hundred and thirty
pages. One of the most suggestive
things we have noticed in the cursory
examination we have been able to
give it, is the universal complaint of
dogs by sheep growers. Tabulated
statements of correspondents are
given, showing the loss of over half
million sheep annually, killed by the
worthless ours which roam the coun-
try unchallengcd and undisturbed.
