A Happy Family.

Edward Willis, Sudbury, Mass
miller, has at the present time a
seven-toed cat, which ia rearing two
seven-toed kittens of her own. three
red or "ferret" squirrels and a rae
coon., They are all together, and
the cat regularly nurses the entire
lot, manifesting just as much affec-
tion and anxiety for the welfare of
the squirrels and the raccoon as she
does tor. her own offspring. The
squirrels, which are about five
weeks old, regularly leave the cat
and go to the edge Of the woodland
to frolic, and as regularly return to
the house of Mr.. Willis to 90 to
sleep with the cat. The family is
a happy one, and is perfectly at
home with the numerous strangers
who call to see them.-Ex.

Homemade Fertilizers.

! j. b. killebrew, Commissioner of
| Agriculture for the State of Tennes-
see, makes the following excellent
suggestions. Every farmer who will
follow them closely will find that
while enriching his land he will save
himself many dollars: "a great many
bones are wasted on every farm that
make valuable manure, and are easi-
iy prepared for use. Let a barrel be
devoted to the bones, and whenever
bone is thrown into it cover it up
with unleachedr ashes. Let the bar
rel stand in the weather, and in a
few months the bones will be 80 fria-
Bile they may be easily broken and
converted into an unadulterated bone
dust, better than can be bought in
any OF the agricultural stores. Or,
II he cannot wait this slow process,
they are easily burned and crushed.
In making soap, much fine phosphate
of lime is thrown out in the shape of
half-eaten bones, and in spent I've.
Soap suds are also fine addition to
the manure or compost heaps. In
these are found not only the alkalies
OF soda and potash, but also much
heterogeneous matter in the shape of
grease. All these assist in enrichips
our heap. No farm yard is without |
the best guaro. 1t is true the guano |
OF the shops is from seabirds, whose
food is fish, but the guano of the
house is exceedingly valua-
BILE and we'll worth saving. Mixing
1t with soil or ashes and sowing over
a garden plat, rather thinly, tor it is
very rich, it's, effects are seen to the
row. However, the dung of fowls,
and especially of pigeons, is best ap-
piled in the form of solution. 1t is
rot SO apt to burn up. the plant in
his manner. One part of manure to
en- parts of water will make fine
wash for vines, or for fruit trees it is
'nexcelled. Another addition to the
'eap is skins, carrion either of ami
nails or fowls, scales of fishes, hair,
oofs, and in fact every kind of ami
,ai substance that may come within t
each that are worthless. Instead of

TIE FLY.

From 80 to 100 are laid at time

this point we have no exact data.
Within "a hours in summer, they
hatch into footless maggots, which,
after rioting in filth till their ten
der skins seem ready to burst from
repletion, become full in less than
week, and decending into the
earth, or sheltering under some old
board, contract to brown shining
objects rounded at both ends, and
technically known as puparia.
Within the darkness of this hard
ened skin profound changes rapidly
take place, and the insect passes
the pupa to the perfect
state, and finally, in about five
days, the anterior end of the pupar-
lam is pushed Of, and the fly quick
" crawls ont. AT first its parts are
pale and its wings are crumpled
and useless, but these soon expand,
and suddenly, without practice or

Is turning out fuely in most of the

more than double what they were

MARKETING PEARS.

Pears, whether early or late, should
never remain on the tree until they
become mellow. Whenever thew
have made their growth they should
be gathered. 1t is easy to tell the
proper condition by observing the
ease with which the stem parts from
the tree. 1t on taking hold of pear
and lifting it, the stem readily breaks
away from the spur to which it is
attached, the fruit has received all
the nourishment it can get from the
tree, and the sooner it is gathered
the better. Pears are sent to market
in crates and in half,barrels; espec-
tally fine specimens are sent in shal,
low boxes, only deep enough for a
single layer Of fruit, and each pear
is wrapped in thin white paper
Extra specimens of any Of the stand
ard kinds, will bring enough more to

Protecting Sheep from Dogs,

A correspondent of southern pa.
per answers the question. "How
shall protect my flock from sheep
killing dogs?" as follow: "After much
experimenting, the following has
proven the most beneficial in protect
ing sheep from dogs. For flock of
from 20 to 100 or $50 head, put on
from IA to 16 bells of various sizes
and tone from the common little sheep
bell up to a large COW bell. It is the
variety of tone and sound that terri
hes the sheep-killing dog. The flock
should always be so situated that they
can approach the house of the land
lord, through lane, gate or gap in
The fence, and if occasionally salted
near the house will invariably ap-
proach it at night to sleep, particular
ly if disturbed by dog or person. No
dog, care not how much practice
he may have in killing sheep, can be
induced even under the most trying
condition to attack flock having
from IA to 16 bells of different sizes
and tone. A dog severely pressed of
hunger may be Influenced to attack
