WASTE OF FODDER.

WASTE cf toDlEh'
Few know how to feed domestic animals.
They should have neither too little nor too
much. When hay or stalks are poor, the ami
nal should not be expected to do more than to
Gull out the best and leave the rest; if very
poor, this is asking too much. The refuse
should be taken away and the racks cleared at
every foddering. If the hay is good, it should
be eaten up clean. Cut at the right time, prop
erly cured free from must or damage from ex-
posure, stock should be required to eat it all up,
and they will, if not over-fed. If it lacks nutri
ment, grain of some kind should be given.
Very coarse clover stalks are pretty poor eat
ing; but if cut as soon as the blows appear,
cured in the cock without rain, none need be
left. Coarse swamp hay, cut early enough, will
be quite palatable for cattle When over-fed,
cattle breathe on their fodder, nozzle it over
and get disguised with it; nothing but starya-
ton will induce them to cat it.
TREE PLANTING.
What the farmer now needs to do is to en-
courage the growth of trees on all rough and
hilly land and to clear them from all rich level
land. BY so doing the earth would soon fur
nish larger supply to mans wants, without
corresponding increase of labor. The enthusi-
astic advocates of forest tree growing, in their
eagerness to cover the earth with forests, for
get that we need our best land to cultivate
quite as much as we need forest trees for lum
ber We should ever keep in mind the fact
that it is waste of labor to cultivate poor land,
when we have rich, even though it may be
covered with forests. In advising the increase
of forests it would be well to have a clear
understanding that the increase is to be con-
fined to land not adapted for cultivation. With
this understanding but few would be found to
oppose it.
TO GET RID OF CHICKEN LICE.
The plan that l have given repeated and
thorough trials-and that has never failed
me-is to whitewash the inside of the houses
every spring and fall, and once or twice during
the summer; to fumigate occasionally with
sulphur; to use coal oil freely as a wash about
the perches and on the bodies Of the fowls; to
use sulphur or tobacco stems in the nests, and
to always keep a supply of road dust and ashes
where the fowls can wallow in at pleasure.
After the dust bath has been in use month
or six weeks the contents are emptied into
a barrel and used to sprinkle on the platform,
and the box is reflled with fresh mixture of
dust and ashes Anoint the fowls every two
weeks with mixture compounded Of five
ounces of sweet oil mixed with one ounce of
sassafras oil, and applied with sewing machine
oil can. Carbolic powder is also an excellent
remedy for lice on Chickens and to mix with
the contents of dust box.

YUCCA FILAMEETOSA.

YUCCA FILAMEETOSA.
This plant is known as Adams Needle. 1t
is a low growing, stemless evergreen, having
thick crown Of coriaceOus leaves, from eight
cen to twenty-four inches in length. II is
choice ornamental plant for lawns, especially
when planted in clumps or groups Of several
plants. The flowers are produced in pauicles
on stems which rise from three TO five feet in
height. The blossoms are greenish-white in
color. The leaves of this plant contain strong
fiber, which is split in threads, dried and used
for various domestic purposes; 1t Is also known
as bear grass. Strong ropes have been made from
the prepared FIBER but it has not been found
profitable TO prepare it for spinning in compe-
titiOn with other 1ibres. The root-stOcks of
the yucca contain quantity of starchy matter,
but we are not aware tnat they have been
utilized, except in the form Of poultice to in
fammatory sores. 1t Is a native Of the South
ern States.
CATALOGUE OF GREENS NURSERIES,, ROCKIES
TER, n. Y.
We have received a copy of the above which
is mostly confined TO small fruits, including all
the newest as well as the we'll known standard
kinds. The James Wick" strawberry receives
special attention, and, we believe, was first
brought prominently before the public by these
nurseries. There are many brief valuable hints
as to culture, well as TO the respective merits
of varieties.
In noticing seed, plant, or other catalogues,
we do so for the purpose of informing our read
ers where they can deal with assurance of be-
ing treated h0n0rably and justly, and we advise
all to deal directly at headquarters, and avoid
agents and peddlers, not because they are all
frauds, but because there is seldom any way of
distinguishing them.

she was firm. "There is too much good in

Aprons the Fashion.

Aprons the Fashion.
Among the modern ~revivals Of old fashions
is that of aprons, which are rapidly coming
back into vogue on all except state occasions.
The foreign fashion magazines saw that
abroad every one wears them, and the current
number of the London Queen devotes quite a
lengthy article to the subject. The ~prettiest
aprons of the season hail from Paris, and they
nearly all have bibs, Some are made
entirely of black lace, others of white.

nearly all, especially red velvet, of which
several of the sbtbs are made. Tufts of

In fancy jewelry everything odd and quaint
finds favor. One brooch is an ELEPHANTS head
in oxydized silver, with head trapping of sold,
chased and frinred, with diamond eyes and
ivory tusks tipped with gold, Others are
monds or cmeralds for heads. There are
dragon files and beetles; paradise BIRDS
and humming birds; old Roman coins
mounted on the faces IN gold, with,
silver banda tvipg the. rods; crabs holding n
pearlor a cat's-eyein their ugly claw and.
pretty gypsy straw hats in gold with trimming
of ribbon or flower IN precious stones. The
English ring of dull gold, either in crucibie
or beaten gold with sunk stones Is the favorite
style fer gentlemen. For ladies, the solitaire,
tho cluster and tho Marquise rsmain tho first
choice, wi Ii various fancy STYLES for those who
affect the quaint and odd in ~iewelry. Scarf pins
for gentlemen show a decided tendency toward
the quaint and odd in design. There are
dagger hit, etc, with animals' heads and in-
secls of all sorts, but the fashionable fancy is
for something out OF the ordinary style. Bits
of crucIble gold in odd shapes, with perhaps q
single gem Embedded in the rough
gold, are new and elegant Men of
wealth and taste wear rare and curious
stones in preference TO ,diumopdsz for

Influence Of Wo,nau,s soct.,v.

1t is better for you, says Thackeray, to pass
an evening once or twice in a lady's drawing
room, even though the conversation is slow,
and you know the girls songs by heart, than in
a club, tavern. or the pit of a theater. All
amusements of youth to which virtuous women
are mot admitted, rely on ii, are deleterious
to their nature. All men who avoid fe-
male society have dull perceptions and are
stupid, or have gross tastes, and revolt against
what is pure. You club swaggerers, who arc
sucking ths butts of billiard cues all night, call
female society insipid. Poetry is in-ipid to u
yokei; beauty has no charms for a blind man;
music docs not please n poor beast who does
not know one tune from another; and as a true
epicure is hardly ever tired of water-souchy
and brown bread and butter. / protestsI can
