heavily taxed to avoid sacrifice Of por-

prominence to the claims of the sheep to q

now ready to combat such vicclssitudes as

by no means desirable In the case or the

1t will successfully withstand them Is just

RooT PRUNING FOB ToMAToEs.-Root
pruning for tomato plants is recommended
to induce early maturity OF the fruit. While
the plants are young they are transplanted
several times. which of course destroys
some of the roots, and after they are put
into their final resting place, spade Is
once in while thrust down into the ground
a foot or so from the main stock. In this.
of course, size, and perhaps quality, are
sacrificed to few weeks earllness; but
many are willing to pay this penalty for
the sake Of the early dish. Those who
wish to secure an early ripening OF fruit
will do well TO practice this system of root
pruning upon a portion OF their plants.
Tomato plants produce better aud more
evenly ripened fruit when afforded some
support, as by stakes or trellises, to keep
the vines from the ground.

FURNITURE PoLIsH.-Put three gills

ture is invaluble for furniture that has
been French polished. but is getting the
worse for use, or, it may be, abuse; and
also when wood having been only par

the polish, causing unslightly cracks

to something of its original brightness.

thoroughly clean with sponge and
lukewarm water, shake the bottle we'll,
and rub on the polish being careful to
use only very clean cloths. Old rags do
best, as they will not wash after being
used with this mixture, and are only fit
to be thrown away. For furniture that
has never been French polished, nothing
is better than the old fashioned beeswax
and turpentine melted together by a
gentle heat, and applied with plenty of
elbow-Rrease.

a FATAL scourge has prevailed In Loui-

number OF mules. 1t seems particularly
destructive to these valuable ANIMALS, and
some planters have lost nearly every aul-
NAL on their places. This visitation IS
particularly unfortunate at this season of
the year, when farmers need every work
animal they can use. Some persons claim
that it can be cured, but the most OF the
farmers consider 1t beyond remedy, and II
does its work in very short time.

A Mash composed or two-thlrds wheat
bran and one-third corn meal for solids,

a good breakfast for poultry, especially
for laying hens. Oats and buckwheat for
midday teed, and corn and oats for supper
are excellent for poultry. Clean, fresh
water is a very essential article. The above
feed is recommended tor poultry when the
ground is frozen and covered with snow,
but with the open weather we have had
thus far this season, but little extra feed
or care has been required. The large amount
of insect food which poultry has been able
to pick up this season has so far rendered
the extra feeding of animal food unreces-
sary.

THK Poultry Monthly says that, as a
rule, one variety of fowls is enough for al
most any person to manage successfully
and proftabIy, and this Is especially true
with beginners, who have to gain their ex-
perience In all the varied details of poultry
management. If breeder has been sue
cessful with one variety, has not merely
made good sales, but has produced birds
of such a high order of merit that the
stock makes good advertisement and q
permanent one for the breeder, it can be
taken for granted that 1t will pay to take
up one or more breeds, provided the same
care is bestowed upon each variety as was
formerly accorded the single breed, and
provided there are ample conveniences,
room and quarters for them. 1t seldom
pays to attempt raising poor breed poultry
unless there is ample room, both in yards
and houses, for they must have this to IN
sure their healthtulness and consequent
profit.
