Farm Mites.

Market crops, the dairy and poultry
should all go together, because one helps
the other.
Poor butter or cheese is always the first to
feel the effects of dull market. The best
products are always inquired for, even on
the poorest market.
The use of manures in which potash and
phosphates are the only ingredients seems
to be the only preventive so far known for
scabby potatoes. Barnyard manures and
guano aggravate the trouble.
One of the best deodorizers in stables is
ground plaster. 1t may be sprinkled about
the stalls and over the manure heap daily.
1t will absorb the ammOniacal odors and re-
tain them, thus increasing the value of the
dressing.
To prepare night soil for use on land, mix
it thoroughly with any dry absorbent, as
powdered charcoal, dry muck. road dust or
sifted coal ashes, so that all Jumps may fbe
broken fine, and then apply ii as any other
manure.
Cabbage is best given to poultry whole,
hung up by the stalk At first il NAV not
be touched, but when one fowl begins to
peck at it, the rest will be tempted to keen
on until little remains. Being suspended,
it does not waste or become polluted, and il
will remain in good condition to be eaten
at will.
The most substantial walks and carriage
roads are first excavated TO a depth of foot
or more, then smaller or broken stone
placed at the bottom, smaller ones on these,
then gravel and tar mixed, course sand and
tar on this, and usually an inch of fine
gravel at the surface. When there is hard
gravelly subsoil and good natural drainage
less excavation is required.
The Country Gentleman thus sums up its
familiar hints" to gardeners: Provide in
season plenty of manure. Let it be thor
oughly intermixed with the soil. Arrange
for all the horse cultivation practically
Avoid the common mistake of occupying
more ground than you can keep in perfect
condition. Have complete natural or arti
fetal drainage If all these requisites arr
attended to- your vegetable garden will be
found to be the most profitable part of YOU

The champion bee-keeper lives very ap

repaired to the Royal lottery Office and in

answer that it had been disposed of to a
well-known lottery agent in Koenigs-
berg. He forthwith wrote to this per-
son. inclosing the price of the ticket and re-
questing that it should be forwarded to him
by return of post. In reply to his applica.

ticket had been sold, over the counter, a day

Hugo and Parnell.

Victor Hugo goes in breast-high for Ire
land the oppressed, against England the OPP
pressor. He was greatly taken by the dis
thoughtful habit of mind revealed in his
physiognomy and conversation. Parnell
struck him as being a man who never speaks
without first turning over mentally what he
is going to say. Victor Hugo, who fiatters
himself that he has insight in judging of
mems dispositions and instincts is satisfied
that the chief of the Home Rulers is in all
points to be relied upon, and is animated
by no low, self-seeking ambition. Par.
nell is TO ask in writing the poet to stand up
in behalf of Ireland. and to state her griev-
ances and the remedy he proposes. He is to
stand on the Democratic and Socialist plat
form. The action he defends will be
brought in the name of the poor against the
rich, in the name of the conquered Irish
tenants against the English millionaire land
lords, and of national autonomy against
British Imperialism. Whatever Mr. Par
nell writes to Victor Hugo will be given in
the Rappel along with the answer of the il
lustrious author of the Chatiments Victor
Hugo never was in Ireland. But he
had great deal to do with
Irish settlers in humble rank OF
life in the Channel Islands, and
always had Irish maids TO take care of his
grandchildren. One of them, certain
Biddy Molloy, imposed debt of gratitude
on the Hugo family by the zeal she showed
in nursing the father of Georges and Jeanne

Utilizing GuIlies.

On many farms that have been under Gull
tivation for some time there are gullies worn
more or less deep by the running of the
water that accumulaIes in fields during the
prevalence of continued rains. They are of
no value to the farms they disfgure, but on
the other hand are great disadvantage to
them. They occupy large amount of land
prevent passing from one side of the farm
TO another with wagons and machinery. and
have a constant tendency to become longer,
wider, and deeper. Generally the sides
break down every spring as the frost leaves
the soil, and the earth which falls TO the
bottom is carried away by the running
water. The deeping of the gullies increases
till stone or hard clay is reached Often
bushes and weeds fill up large portion of
the sides and bottoms of the gullies and they
become the resort of small but very mis-
chievOus animals. The loss sustained by
the presence of gullies on many farms is
very considerable. and pains should be
taken To prevent Il.
In many instances gully may be utilized.
The past season has taught the majority OF
farmers the value of having better supply
of water on their places. Ordinarily a suf-
hcient amount of water runs through q
gully during the spring to entirely fiji il.
1t this water is stored up it may prove OF
great advantage for the summer, especially
il there is protracted drouth. Ii will be
needed for stock, may be wanted for wash
ing purposes, and can always be used to
excellent advantage for irrigating the land,
whether il is devoted to grass or cultivated
crops. Last summer a scarcity of water for
stock was felt in most parts OF The country
A gully may be converted into pond by
simply building a dam across the lower por.
ton of il. This dam may be built of earth
timber, brick, or stone, the latter being ir
every respect preferable. The stone should
be laid up with mortar, composed in part, a
least. of hydraulic cement or water lime
The stone wall should extend into the EN-
bankment on either side sufficiently to pre-
vent the water from washing round il. Il
should also extend below the bottom o.
