On almost every farm there are some
corners where the bushes have secured 8
foothold, now is the time to cut them, and
in cutting them it is best to make thorough
work of 1t by cutting them close, making
the land smoother and sowing a liberal
quantity of grass seed, then covering the
land with a good dressing Of ground bone
and ashes, mixed together few days be-
fore applying, OF liberal quantity of com
post manure made fine by pitching over.
Unless the land is quite dry and poor this
treatment will 30 increase the growth of
grass ds to choke out the bushes to q great
extent.

CROPS are subject to diseases, and on
this subject Professor Scott, Of the Royal
Agricultural College, England, states that
clover sickness is sometimes due te"clover
fungus" though there are other causes
Beet Sickness has been traced TO parasites
in the soil. The cluD-roct in turnips Is a
parasite vegetable which feeds on the
starch granuies of the roots, and as II emp
ties the cells Ct their starchy contents fills
them with mass of spore-like bodies,
which, by further coHtaminatlng the cellu-
lsr TISSUE. ultimately produce the club
root. The fungus belongs to an order
which is generally held TO live upon de-
cayIng vegetable matter, but some botanists
assert that this one will only live on the
healthy tissue of cruciferous plants. The
remedy is good cultivation and complete
change Of cropping.

AGRICULTURE.

SETTING Our BLAoKBERRIEs,- Black
berries can be set out in the fall as well as
III the spring, but always when in DOR
mant state. Nearly all late planting in the
spring are failures. But If late planting
is unavoidable, the sets must be shaded
and kept continuously moist until all dan
ger Of willing and shriveling is over. They
do best on light soils and in sunny expo
sures. With partial shade ON moist, heavy
land, the canes are apt to grow too late,
and the heavy tr0sts find them unripened
and unable to endure the winter. Warm,
well drained, but not I:ry, compost soil Is
the best. On dry, hard soil the fruit often
either perlshes before maturity, or is only
q bunch OF tasteless seeds. In the prepa-
ration of the soil, plow deep, thoroughly
loosening, if possible, the subsoil. II an
opportunity is given, the roots OF the
blackberry are great foragers. 1t ltdemands
mellowness rather than richncs. With
the latter il grows too rank. In field cul-
ture the rows of blackberries should be
from SIX to eight feet apart, and the plants
set three feet apart IN the rows 1t VIII
take about 1900 plants for an acre. 1t is
best to give the canes support. TLis can
be done by posts and fence wire, and
grown In q continuous bushy row, In
May and June the roots send up vigorous
sprouts, which grow with amazing rapldi-
w, attaining from five to ten feet high.
The blackberry requires and will amply
repay fer management aud culture, both
of which II needs. Ii the canes are allow
ed to grow tall, and then cut Oft with
shears, they have few, If any lateral
branches and produce meager crops. The
best way is, when in rapid growth and
about three or four feet high, pinch on
with the fingers the terminal bud. Then
lateral branches will start out They, too,
must be watched anu pinched so soon rs
long enough. In this way good, safe,
atocky canes can be had which will sup
port themselves in winds and storms. Black
berries sprout, but those which come up
between the rows can be removed II taken
in time, as easily an weeds. But If lett to
their wild impulses the farmer or gardener
will soon 1nu bramble wilderness IN the
midst of his premises, which will require
strength anu patience. They can become
very easily q very unruly and disagreeable
tenant. With care ana watchfulness they
are q source Of pleasure and proht.

PROFESSOR w. ]. BKAL, In the Far
nlers' Friend, claims that an acre OF good
clover will make 5000 pounds of good hay
containing 2S2! pounds of mineral matter
or ash. In this ash will be 973 pounds
potash, SO pounds lime, 349 pounds mag
nesia and % pounds phosphoric acid, and
the hay will contain l0S pounds combined
nitro gen. These are the stores of wealth
which an acre Of red clover offers to sue
ceeding crops when it is ploughed under,
and the scythe leaves in the field as much
material as it removes, which is stored in
the roots and stubbles. This is enough
phosphoric acid for double an average crop
Of grain, nitrogen for four crops and pot
ash for six crops. He says that with such
figures before them it is no wonder that
tanners are surprised at the large crops
they can raise In clover sod.

POULTRY FooD AND FRRDING.-There is
some little art, if we may SO style it, In
feeding youEg chicks 10 make beautiful
and vigorous growth while young. Fully
nine tenths Cf the mortality amongst poul-
try, from sickness or disease, occurs while
the chicks are still in the ''downy' state,
and the majority of this loss occurs from
improper food, and careless or improper
feeoisg. CoInmeal, which Is far too gen.
orally used, is unfit for young chicks, being
too heating for their tender and immature
digestive organs. Cern-Deal has killed
more chicks Than rats. The best food we
have ever found for young birds is stale
bread, either cIumbled up and led dry,
scalded and fed when cool, or else merely
moistened in fresh milk. Where milk Is
abundant, it should always be used, and
If the young birds get plenty of milk, IL
some form, they Will grow 80 rapidly as TO
astoDish these who have never given milk
literally 10 their poultry, We know Of
one breeder, a large dsiryman, in Chester
County, Pennsylvania, who feeds the prln-
clpal part of his refuse milk 10 his poultry
Old and young, and his birds are not only
singularly free from disease, but large, and
finely developed IN body and featheIing.
This breeder gives milk the credit of it ali
but it may be due in part 10 excellent care.

There is nothing by any means uncom'

have been reported, says Buckland, about
the children OF mahont being cared for

YOU can, with hard-working wife and
two or three children. The whole family
become, as it were, parasites TO the ele-
plant, by whom they earn their living. IL
is only question Of degree TO what extent
an elephant may be trusted with baby
but have seen baby placed systcmatical
ly under the elephants care, and within
reach Of its trunk. whilst the mother wen
to fetch water, or to get materials to cook
the family dinner No jackal or wolf
would be likely to carry of baby who was
thus confded to the care OF an elephant
but most people who have lived life in
the jungles know how very possible it Is
for wolf to carry of baby, even when
lying in hut, when the mothers back is
turned.
The children thus brought up in the
companionship of an elephant become
ridiculously familiar with it, and take all
kinds Of liberties with it, which the ele.
phant seems TO endure on the principle
that il doe not hurt her, while it amnses
the child. You see little raked imp
about two feet high standing on the ele'
plants bare back, and taking it down to
water to bathe, vociierating all the time in
the most unbecoming terms OF native abus-
| i've language. On arriving at the water
the elephant, ostensibly in obedience to
the imps command, lies down and enjoys
itself, just leaving part Of its body, like
small island, above water, on which the
iittlo imp stands and shouts, and
shouts all the more if SO be that he
has several companions of his own age
also in charge of their elephants all wal
lowing in the water around him. If the
imp slips of his island, the elephants
trunk promptly replaces him in safety.
These little urchins as they grow up be-
come first mates to mahoutes, and eventu'
ally arrive at the dignity OF being mahouts.
The wife OF a mahout is always o great

seemed to understand the poor woman's
anguish at the death Of her husband, and

amends for its offence.

him an order for say 100 rugs Of the yari-

where the kind OF rugs selected are want
ed, giving to each bag Of gold and m
structions to order four rugs The sub
agent then goes among the families and
talks rugs with them, drinking many cups
OF coffee and discussing the price for days

some money is furnished the family, for
