Poultry on the Farm.
F.A. III. in the Ru'al Nc,c Yorker.

r. h. III. in the R,u'Gl Netc Yorker.
10 keep poultry on farm is eco
nomical. When a farmer keeps a
herd OF COWS, flock Of sheep to-
gether with horses and hogs, there
Is always room ON the farm tor a
good stock OF poultry. Even when
all the cows, sheep and hogs are kept
that there is room for, there is still
room for poultry. 1t is almost a
necessity tor every family to keep a
pic in order that the refuse and house
Stops may be utilized ; it Is i'll the
same sense that poultry are valuable
they are the scavengers OF the iarm.
There is no class OF fowls that require
very much room on the farm. Still
they do require room and attendance,
and they may be kept in such a SHIFT
less manner that they will be found
unavoidable. All kinds OF poultry
may be kept provided they may have
the run OF the barn ard but they
must be kept in such manner as TO
prevent their rayages III garden and
yraIp~ fields. Turkeys, ducks, geese
and hens may be kept all summer
without using one square yard OF
room available tor any otherpurpose.
Care should be observed III provld-
ing tor ducks and geese that they
may not have the prlvilege--tor such
they will deem it-of touling the
water required tor the stock, or
making themselves nuisance Id any
other manner.
Young chickens and turkeys VIII

weeks OF heir existence after thai,
they may be trusted to care tor them
selves TO Il great extent. Poultry
may be raised and IL flock OF hens
kept producing eggs all summer
without the outlay vi one dollar 1or
grain. Sour milk from the dairy is
very good for young poultry, and
there are many other ARTICLES ofretuse
on the farm that can be probably
used in the maintenance o. fowls.
Now, why is 1t that farmers do not

This beautiful plant when under the
proper culture, is truly gem among

in the window. The cuttings should
be no deeper III the water than half
way up TO the second joint, and when
the rootlets get to be halt an inch
long, carefully pot in a rich, sandy
loan. Alter the plant blooms, cut
back to within foot or fifteen inches
OF the ground, when three branches
will come out let them grow until
it again blossoms after which, cut
them all back about six inches from
the main stalk, and every time it
blooms repeat cutting back, and i'll

will be the result; with proper care
III will grow more beautiful with age.

Bone Meal as Il Fertilizer.
From an Exchange.

From an EIchdR9e.
Scientifically speaking, the aston
ishing effect OF bone dust is due to It's
ishing phosphoric acid and nitro
gen. On an average, good CONNER
cial bone dust contains twenty-three
per cent. Of phosphoric acid, and
one thousand pounds OF it contains
thirty eight pounds OF nitrogen, In
other words. to quote from authori
ties, "a dressing of bone dust ire
quently contains two hundred pounds
OF nitrogen per acre-equal TO twenty
or thirty tons OF barn yard manure"
Now, these constituents, SO essential
to plant lite, are, as "a consequence,
the man resources OF which the soil
Is robbed, and their restoration TO
that soil becomes an absolute neces
sity to good crops.
This manure is readily applied. 1t
may be sown literally upon the
plowed ground and simply raked or
narrowed in, then applied thinly as
top dressing. For wheat, barley, etc.,
200 pounds per acre OF the bone meal
and 2O0 meat manure is sufficient.
Grapes, berries and fruit trees require
probably 400 to 500 pounds. This
OF course is to be divided las to mat
ter OF expense) by three, the amount
sown being good tor three years.
Perhaps one OF the most economical
methods would be to mix the bone
meal with barn yard manure and let
them terment together. The avalla-
Uility and cheapness OF this article thus
commend 1t to the people OF our val
ley, and We heartily recommend 1t
to their most careful consideration, as
the surest and cheapest manner OF
raising the standard OF productiveness
and fertility OF their soils.

81 Never Take Medicine. u

During the short period of
the administration of President
Taylor, a young man visited
w ashington to sell cholera med
icine. Thinking it would aid
him in his business he called at
the White House while a public
reception was being held, to
present the President with a bot
tie of medicine.
He had rehearsed a little speech
with which to preface the pre-
sentation. But when he found
himself face to face for the first
time with a live president, his
nerves were too much disturbed
for him to speak it. He, there
fore, mumbled a few words more
amusing than elegant, about the
medicine being ga dead shot, "
and pulled out a bottle-only to
hear the President say, in a tone
loud enough to be heard through
the room:
81 thank you; but I never
take medicine, cholera, or no
cholera. !"
The Young man almost faint
ed from modification. But in
less than ten days Gen. Taylor
died Of cholera, caused by bis
own indiscretion in eating.
On a very warm Fourth of
July the corner stone Of the
Washington monument was laid.
President Taylor participated in
the ceremony, and drank freely
of ice water.
On his return to the White
House he complained of feeling
hungry, and ate freely Of cher
ries and washed them down with
iced milk.

A Neat CheCkmate.

A man in Toledo, Ohio, with
a wife and three children, became
enamored of an intriguing Wo-
man and procured a divorce in
an obscure Indiana town. He
did not say a word about it at
home. One day his oldest daugh-
ter received a parcel of patterns
from a lady in Indianapolis. It
was an old copy of a country
newspaper. An advertisement
attracted her attention. It was
an application for a divorce for
her father from her mother. The
young lady decided to visit her
friend in indianapolis and to
make an excursion to the county
where the divorce had been
granted. She returned with am
pie evidence that her mother was
living with, a divorced man. She
showed her father a copy of the
advertisement, and told him that
she had found out all about him.
He walked the floor for a min
ute, and then turned to his daugh-
ter. "I have been a very bad
and guilty man," he said; ''but
it is not too. late to make a.
mends. I will go to her and
confess all, and undo what / have
DONE" "Confess first to me-"
said the girl. at is Miss -,
who is the woman in the case, is
it not?" 'It is. ]" 81 thought
as much. Are you to marry
her?" 81 was to have married
her." "Youmustnot go to mann
ma yet. She must be your wife
again before she knows the fear
full truth" The young lady was
equal to the emergency. The
twentieth anniversary OF her pa
rents marriage was close at
hand. She invited all her friends
and had them married again by
the same minister who perform
ed the ceremony twenty years
before. She took pains to have
her mothers rival present, and
remarked to her in a corner
"Papa and mamma are married
again as fast as the law can do
it. Whether the truth is ever
known depends upon you. Papa
will never tell it, | am sure, and
for mammals sake / never shall.
But it does seem to me, dear,
that some other climate would
suit your constitution better
than this"

A score of companions were an
chored off the rushes, and one
or two were following in his
wake. On hearing my footsteps
the old fellow turned and faced
me. Our guns lay on a chest
within three feet Of him, and we
were cut off from our base of
supplies. Moore and Hammond,
a Pennsylvania, who had pre-
empted land on the lake, Joined
me. We shouted and heaved
ridge-poles at the savage scoun-
drel, but it was no go. He held
the pass, and his companions
were moving on the pork. Some
thing must be done or we would
be left without provisions. My
eyes fell on a bed of dried pal
mettoes that had been used by
the Indians. To gather and set
them ablaze was the work of a
few seconds. With the flaming
mass we advanced on the great
lizards. In the light Of the
blaze they retreated to the lake.
We suspended the bag of pork
from a tree that hung over the
bank, and in the morning the
sand looked as though a rebel
brigade had been throwing up
trenches.
The inlet connecting the lake
with theiocean had been closed
by a bank of sand thrown up in
an easterly hurricane. On this
bank l encamped for a week.
Schools of spotted bass,snapp
groupers, croakers and white
drum had been shut in the lake
by the closing of the inlet. At
high tide the water from the
ocean percolated through the
sand, and the fishes swarmed to
the bay to get taste of the fresh
salt water. When fishing here
/ discovered a huge alligator re-
garding my movements with ap-
parent interest. AS he seemed
civil and not evilly disposed l
threw him a twenty-pound bass,
and he ate it with a relish. For
six days he remained near me,
reaping harvest. He at last
became SO tame that he station
ed himself thirty feet away, and
received his fish with evident
pleasure. Nor did he act the
hog or display any ingratitude.
He took only the fishes that were
thrown to him. At one time a
vicious bluefish snapped the line
above the the float, and a huge
white drum ran off with the bait.
/ followed the float in a boat
and secured it. When | return
ed the old alligator was at his
station, and a pile Of choice fish
| had reserved for myself was
undisturbed. ZIsKA.
