THE WORLDS MlLLERS

The distinction Of iiaugurAtlng and hold
ing he first millers international exhibition
will belong to the United States. The mil
lers Of The world have been invited to meet
and take part in the exposition and we learn
that favorable responses have been received
from almost every land where the milling
interest has attained any prominence. The
exposition will be held at Cincinnati, OPEN
ing May 81 ana closing June 26. Great
preparations have been made to render the
occGson notable for the variety and extent
of milling machinery exhibited, and for
large displays of grain and Aour from diff
tereut parts OF the earth. The machinery
will he In motion constantly. Ten flour
mills will be in operation daily and q Vien-
ma Bakery with Austrian workmen viii
make daily tests OF flour ground BY these
mills. The power will be supplied by six
200 horsepower automatic steat1s engines.
This vast interest is one in which. the United
States is intimately concerned. We have
no doubt that the exposition will be a great
success and that 1t win be attended by mill
lers and others from Europe, as we'll as by
American milers in this country from Maine
to California.

THE ORIGIN OF POULTRY.

The origin of the domestication of the
common cock and hen is unknown, but j.
supposed to have been among the first con-
quests made by man. In the earliest 'humlt'
record il is stated that ''the Spirit OF God
moved upon the waters" Some conmen-
tators upon this passage say that the origin
al word is brooded, which is taken from the
idea of hen broolling over its young. The
Hebrew code regulating the use Of food j.
altogether silent on the subject of fowls; but
as the peacock was domesticated in tile time
of Solomon, or $500 Years ago, we have
strong grounds for entertaining the belief
that the most useful domestic hen. Which in
it's native state belongs to the same region.
must have been known long before that
time.
In most of the works on poultry the do
mestic cock is declared to be Il pheasant. and
we accordingly find it described under the
improper lame Of phasianus yatias. This
conveys an erroneous idea. According to
modern naturaliSts, more especially Dutch
writer, Temminck. our dolaestc cock must
be separated from the pheasant and form Il
distinct genus under the name of galluS,
which had long since been proposed by Il

getting upon the nests as usually made.
Then again the moisture from the ground
keeps the eggs IN better condition. Many
persons make mistakes by putting too much
and too fine material in the nests, in that
case the eggs get out Of position and many
of them get spoiled; do not put too many eggs
under your hens, especially at this season Of
the year. If it should be cold there will be
more or less loss; thirteen eggs as a rule are
enough; more may hatch, bur the chicks are
not likely to be strong. 1t is much better to
have few good healthy chicks at tn. start
than more weakly ones that cannot get
through the season; the first cold day will
take ott those that are not strong.
Get good, fresh eggs from the best stock
you can and take care III selecting the po-
si,ion for the nest, where the other chickens
will not disturb her, and there will he little
doubt but that every egg will hatch.

TREATMENT OF HOUSE PLANTS.

In watering plants in rooms discretion
must be used. Cactus, Cerens and in fact
;lli the so-called slcrnents, require but little
water in winter; simply enough 10 keep
them growing. CalIa~, and all that class of
aquatic or semi-aqnalic plants, will bear
watering to saluraton. As Il rule, smootll~
leaved and hard plants require less watering
than pnbescrnl and soft-lenved plants. Many
small po's require water every day; some
times twi"e Il day-they dry out 50 t;.st-un-
less plunged into some moist material. The
difficulty with amateurs is they usually give
small pots too little water and large pots
too much. Until the true hnbit and neces-
stiles of plant are learned. it is better THAI
it dry sufficiently to droop y little rather
than that the soil be kept saturated. Over
saturation kills mnre plants than too much
dryness.-Prairie Farmer.

WHAT DOES IT COST?

HOW many cultivators of the soil can
name the cost OF Il bl,shel of grain, barrel
OF potatoes. or ton of hay? How many
stock breeders can give the cost ola pound
OF beet. or mutton. or pOrk2 How many
dalrymen have an exact knowledge of the
cost of quart of milk, pound of butter or
cheese! And yet the pursuit of agriculture,
useful and important. should be made re-
munerative and pleasant. Those who fol-
low this calling should receive the same
recompense tor 'leir toll as those who Ia.
Dor in any other channel of human indus
try, Without order and system IL accounts
no business can be successful or satisfying.
Without fixed determination to master de-
tails, especially as to receipts and expendit-
tires. agriculture can never be made relnu-
ntr,ive.
Far too often is it the case that the indif-
ferent, easy-going farmer simply sells his
produce tor the most he can get without :ev-
er Knowing its cost. 1t may be said that a
whole barrel full Of figures. would not
change the market quotations for farm
crops. True but knowledge of vital facts
might show the individual farmer that he
was producing corn at Al loss when he could
raise oats al profit. Accurate figures might
convince him that sheep husbandyr, in the
sale OF wool, mutton and early lambs Sc
cured a profit tar beyond the result of feed
ing a bunch Of steers. Many dairyman
who should strike q balance would determ-
in that his herd nee.led wedding of its un-
profitable animals. and that some particular
profit of the dairy would give more remu-
neraive returns than others. AS well
might the marl + plow the seas in his little
bark without a compass as for the farmer to
pursue a Ilaphazard business course con-
cerning his farm manufactures. 1t is use
less to raise those crops that can only be
sold ut a loss. In certain speciaties it were
unwise to enter upon Al fruilless competition
with those producers WHO are more highly
favored in soil. c;,llate and market facilities.

CULTIVATION OF THE FUCHsIA.

AT late meeting OF the Richmond Horti-
cultural Society, Mrs. Martha Bond read the
following treatise on the cultivation of the
fuc|lsia. Mrs. Bond is !. successful amateur
florist;
Henry L. Williams says. in his book on
Window Gardening: "Fuchsias do not re-
quire a high temperature, but they need
light and air. and a really beautiful plant of
handsome shape is obtained only by care"
My own plan of treatment Tor this plant,
which will give, is for winter blooming
repot in the fall in !, rich compost of equal
parts of well decayed stable manure and
rich sandy loan. After potting, water
sparingly for u few days, then place in a
sunny window and give plenty Of wateraso
sprinkle the foliage and once Il week add u
shoots get to be few inches long, pinch
them back. You can torn your plant in
any shade pou choose. Bet mind the pinch

adding little more sand, which makes

Those that are only expected to bloom in

POULTRY NOTES.

Although omnivorous, fowls very soon
get satisfied on any kind of animal food. and
! utilize this fact to some purpose. EARLY
i'll the spring, as soon us digging begins in
the garden, call them all in, and while the
ground is being turned up they are extra
vigilant In picking up all the worms brought
to the surface. They are called in every day,
but on the second day some few fall off, and
so every day, till all have been satiated.
when, call az may, they do not respond.
and during the summer no calling will gel,
them to come to the garden. My neighbors
wonder why my hens don't destroy the gar
den, while they are obliged to shut theirs up
to keep them out of theirs.
Never keep cock over one year on the
same range, no matter how fine bird he
nsay be; or if the cock be Kept, then the
hens must be changed. if a heal althy, good-lay-
ing flock be desired. Never keep any young
cock that may be matched from your own
eggs. Never get supply OF cocks and hens
from the same person; get the hens from one
yard and the cocks from another. Either
of these maxims win prevent breeding in
and In, or any approach thereto. This prac-
tice may have SO detelfoaied your fowls be-
fore you owned them; and this is most like
ly the reason why yours are SO feeble i'll con-
stitution as to give way on all sides; when-
ever one of them gets sick it can hardly ever
recover. When cock has passed its prime
(three years., all his progeny will be liable
to gapes, ronp, etc., and the progeny will
all be aihng and very poor layers. They
will die without any apparent cause. | have

FLOWING BY ELECTRICITY,

The celebrated French manufactures OF
chocolate, M. Menier, has recently been
making some interesting experiments in his
park, Noisel, France, utilizing the power Of
electricity for the purpose Of plowing. The
machine used is something which looks like
the combination Of a velocipede and plow,
and its first public exhibition proved to be
pertinent being perfect success. At a CIV
en- signal the machine started off from the
edge of the field, leaving behind it a wide,
deep furrow, and turning around at tile up
per end OF the field came back in the same
manner. The motive power was supplied
through wires bya GraMme Machine about
a halt a mile distant. and the plow-one of
the Fowles pattern, having six shares, did
about the same work as it drawn by tour OK
ell. A man seated upon saddle guided
the apparatus over the field, controlling the
depth of the furrow by means of lever.
The Messrs. Menier have purchased thepat-
ent on the process OF ploWing bv electricity.
sa%-S-aa --
THERE are several selt-binders of grain
with wire. They have proven tolerably
successful, yet there is prejudice against
the danger of the wire in the straw And
the advance in the price Of wire will make
it still more expensive. Efforts are still
making tor other means and different mate
