. In the midst Of the harvest of grain, and
grass, and tubers, we must not forget the
compost heap, in which we garner and store
the unsowed crops of future season. The
saying that anything that grows in one sum
mer will rot before tho next is a safe guide
in collecting vegetable matter for the compost
heap. When sods, muck and weeds form
part of the heap, it is not alone the material
which we are assiduous in collecting and put
ting into the heap that constitutes its entire
value. The fermentation induced by the dung
and liquid manure and the action Of the lime
or ashes added, work upon the earth adhering
to the roots of the weeds and forming CON
siderable part of both sods and muck, and
develop an admirable quality of plant food.
Hence this element of the compost heap,
which is generally overlooked as possessing
any special value should never be wanting.
It has, moreover, its own offices TO perform,
in promoting decay, in the formation of hui
mus, and in preserving, locking up and hold
ing on to valuable ingredients of plant food.
The compost heap should always be laid in
even layers, and each layer should 60 over
the entire heap, for thus only can final uni
formity be attained, We do not mean special
purpose composts, but those made for gene
raj farm crops. 1t would be well IL every
particle of dung, liquid manure, straw, litter,
leaves, weeds, etc, could be worked together
into uniform fine compost and there is really
no substantial reason why this may not be
done. The gardener would plead for certain
special composts. 1t might perhaps, be well
to make a special hen manure compost for
corn in the hill, aud, taking the general com
post as a basis, to make one for turnips by
the addition of a large percentage of bone
dust. ALI this may be done, establish once
the rule to compost everything of manurial
value, and we have in prospect an abundance
of farm-made fertilizers at all times and for
all crops, victory over weeds, good place for
decomposable trash of all kinds sacred hu-
rial ground for all minor animals and poultry,
whose precincts need never be invaded. Be
sides, there will be no stagnating pool in the
barnyard, for all liquids will 60 to the tank to
be pumped over the compost heap; no nasty,
slumpy barnyard, for everything will be daily
gathered for the growing compost heap and
the harvesting OF the manure crop, and its
increase day by day, all the year round, will
| be n source of constant pleasure to master
and men.-American AgTicuituriSt.

TIE Theor, OF mnIchinr.

The intelligent horticulturist mulches his
young trees and plants to keep the soil cool
and moist. With this definite object in view
he is careful to apply only a slight covering
of some loose material that will admit a cir
oulation of fresh air to the ground, and yet
prevent the direct rays of the sun from bak-
ing the surface and retarding the growth of
the delicate young rootlets. When thick
mass of mulching substance is placed around
tree or plant, the soil beneath quickly be-
comes saturated with moisture, followed by
tho germs of disease and this is why the
system of mulching is in bad repute with
some of our best cultivators. Bearing in
mind that the object is merely to shade the
soil, the material should be as light as posi-
BILE, and if it is removed occasionally, and
the surface of the ground stirred, there can
be no evil results.
An objection has been raised to the sys-
tenn on account of the harbor it affords for
insects; but we must bear in mind that very
few OF these are injurious, and some of them
positively beneficial as scavengers. 1t has
been stated that if we keep the soil constant
ly stirred, muching will be unnecessary.
With this l cannot fully agree, although a
strong advocate of frequent boeing of the
surface. No matter how often or how thor.
oughly the soil is stirred the hot rays of the
sun in midsummer will injure the roots more
or less of a newly planted tree. Loose sol
always attra cts moisture, it is true, but
mulching will preserve it cool and moist al
the same time. In winter the benefit TO be
derived from mulch in preserving an even
temperature at the roots is beyond question
1t is not to keep them warm, but to guard
against sudden and injurious changes. Cor

AS "hy time" approaches every housekeep-
or wonders how the increasing swarms Of
pests multiply so rapidly. The eggs, mere
whtish specks to the unaided eye, are laid in
little agplutinated piles in warm manure or in
decompOsing vegetation, especially that about
our stables and barn yards. From 80 to 100
are laid at time, probably at three or
four different intervals by the same fly,
though on this point we have no exact data
Within "a hours in summer they hatch into
footess maggots, which after rioting in filth
till their tender skins seem ready to burst
from repletion, become full fed in less than a
week, and descending into the earth, or shell
terng under some old board, contract to
brown, shining objects rounded at both ends,
and technically known rs puparia Within
the darkness of this hardened skin profound
changes rapidly take place, aud the insect
passes through the pupa to the perfect state,
and finally, in about Ave days, the anterior
end of the puparium is pushed of, and the fly
quickly crawls out. At first il is pale and its
wings are crumpled and useless, but these
soon expand, and suddenly, without practice
or teaching, the new fedged fly wings its way
to your table to mock your displeasure-to
share your repast. The length of time re-
qured from hatching TO maturity varies with
the season and temperature but will not ex-
coed 10 days in summer, while the life of the
perfect fly lasts about three weeks of the
same season. As cold weather approaches
propagation ceases, and the older flies perish.
A few of the more vigorous females, however,
retreat to some nook or Granny, where, in a
state of torpor, they survive until the ensuing
soason-links 'twixt the summer gone by and
to come. The insect may also hibernate in
the pupa state in the ground. In rooms kept
continuously warm, or in more southern lati-
tudes the fly remains active all winter, and
our palace sleeping cars bring them daily to
us from Florida during tue coolest months Of
| the year -ScieaGfc american.

Canadian Experience with Cattle.


The superintendent of u model farm at
Guelph, Canada, gives as below the results
of somo experiments made there in cattle
breeding;
l. A steady frosty winter is better than an
open one in feeding cattle.
2. An average two or three year-old steer
will eat its own weight of different materials
in two weeks.
3. Two or three year old-cattle will add
one-third of pound more per day to their
weight upon prepared hay and roots than up.
on the same materials unprepared.
4. 1t is 80 per cent more profitable to pre-
mature and dispose of fattening cattle at two
years old than to keep them up to three
years.
D. There is no loss in feeding cattle
beast well upon variety of materials for the
sake of manure alone.
g. Farmyard manure from well fed cattle
three years old is worth an average of $2 80
per ton.
7. A three. year-old cattle beast, we'll fed,
will give at least one ton of manure every
month of winter.
8. No cattle beast whatever will pay for
the direct increase to its weight from the con-
sumption of any kind or quantity of food.
.. On an average it costs twelve cents for
every additional pound of flesh added to the
weight Of two or three-year-old fattening
steer.
10. In Canada the market value of store
cattle can be increased SO per cent during six
months of finishing by good feeding
II. In order TO secure a safe profit, no
store cattle beast, well done to, can be sold
at less than four and one-half cents per pound
olive weight.
~. In the fattening of wethers, to finish
as shearings, the Ootswold and Leicester
grades can be made up to 200 pounds, ths
oxford Down $50 pounds, and the South
Down (grade) 100 pounds each, live weight.
10. A COW wintered upon two tons and a
half of hay will produce not far from five
tons of manure, provided that she be well lit.
tered and none of the excrements be wasted.

There is nothing but the want of knowledge
on the subject to hinder farmers all over the
country from having the big dishful of straw
berries and cream on the table three times a
day during the season. The main failure in
raising is in setting poor plants. Old plants
are good for nothing; new plants from
an old bed are not worth setting. We should
set plants that are grown from those that
have never fruited. When plant produces
a crop of fruit that fruit exhausts the energies
of the plant to a certain extent, and its young
plants will not have the constitution and Wig
or of those from plants that give all their en-
ergies to the young plants. 1 cut of the
blossoms every year from part of the bed
to raise young plants from. Hence, all the
trouble in raising the fruit is in getting good
plants. Cor. GcrmaRtOwR Telegraph.

A GENEROUS ACT
tn &C VIII be Appreciated by All who
Care for Their Complexion and
skin,

II is not generally known that the nervous system
has wonderful influence over the skin, but II is well
known to medical men who have given much Of their
time to the study Of diseases Of the skin. No oneoan
have a clear aud fair complexion, unmixcd with PIN
pies or blotchef, who il very nervous.
whatever tends to a hoathful condition Of the ner-
vous system always beautines the complexion and re-
moves roughness and dryness Of the skin. Some skin
diseases are not attended by visible signs the sur
face, but by ntolcrabe itching that renders life
miserable.
We copy the following deserved and interesting COM
pliment from the Tribune, which says: 'Dr. G. w.
Bensons new skin Cure is received by Tie public
with great confidence, and It is regarded as very
generous act the doctors part to make known and
prepare for general his valuable and fayorite pre-
scrptou for the treatment Of skin diseases after de-
voting almost his entire life to the study aud treat
mcut of nervous aud skin diseases, in which he took
great delight He was for a number Of years physi-
clan in charge OF the Maryland Inhrmary on Derma-
toogy and anything from his hands is at once accept
ed authority and valuable. The remedy is just the
to attack the disease, both internally through the
blood aud externally through the absorbents, and is
the only reliable and rational mode of treatment.
These preparations only put up for general use
after having been used by the doctor In his private
practice for years with the greatest success and they
fully merit the confidence of all classes Of sufferers
from skin diseases" For sale by all druggists at 81
