Substitute for Rain.

Hoeing, and the frequent stirring of
the surface of the soil, are good sub
stituteS for rain. Those parts of the
garden that are most frequently cult
waited show the best results. 1t is
probable that corn, Watermelons, toma-
toes, Lima beans, and cabbage, and
possibly other plants, if we'll started,
in good, deep soil, may go through a
two months drought without very
serious damage \ deep, well manured
soil suffers much less than a shallow
soil. Sub-soiling and manure are to a
certain extent substitutes for rain.
Moisture comes from below. Under
draining is also a safeguard against
drought. The course of the drains in
the garden can easily be marked in a
dry season, 10y the ranker growth Of
vegetation above them. Irrigation, in
many parts of the country, will pay
The soil if well prepared, could use, to
good advantage, twice the quantity Of
water it receives from rains during the
dry months of summer.

Carrots.

Our farmers do net raise enough
carrots. They make a horses coat
very sleek. They should have good
depth of soil and fine tilth. Our farm
ers' wives do not fully appreciate the
value of the carrot in cookery. In
deed, the liking for carrots is an ac-
quired one. 50 is that for tomatoes.
So is that for parSnipS. The writer
remembers that he was obliged to cul-
tivate liking for green peas, which,
as they were the old mushy, strong
marrowfatS, is not to be wondered at.
But the carrot flavor, when liked, is a
valuable addition to meats. to gravicS
and to soups. The French and Ger
mans use it largely. The queen of
England always has carrots and tur-
nips cooked with her boiled mutton -

A Prophet.

Artemus Ward was something more
than a sparkling humoriSt. lie was a
mar of character and principles; there
was nothing of the adventurer, very
little even of the speculator, about
him. Even in the depths of comedy
he was always on the side of justice
and virtue, and not with the big bat
tallions. IL AK these questions -
about Louis Napoleon - my royal
duke and most noble highness and i'm
pcrialS. because I'm anxious to know
how he stands rs Il man. | know he's
smart. He's cunnin', he is long-head-
ed, he is CRATE, but onlcSS he is good

These comic but prophetic words were
written when the late emperor was at
the climax of his power, and about
the time it was the fashion to call the
second empire a perfect success. His
devotion to his old mother was very
strong; her happiness was constantly
uppcrmost in his mind. At one time
he wanted to get her to England.
alas, it would only have been to weep
over his grave! At another he
thought of going home to live with
her after he had made 4 fortune. His
fame he valued quite as much for the
pleasure it gave the old lady as for the
cash it brought him. lie was the nat
ural foe of bigotry, Pecksnitlianism

his works you will not find one sneer

few broad jokes not quite in European
taste, there is not really one loose or
mnguarded expression. II never stain

Household Hints.

Drain pipes and all places that are
sour or impure may be cleansed with
lime water, copperas water or carbolic
acid.
A little chloride of lime dissolved in
warm water. and left in lamp or can
which has held kerosene, will deodorize
it very soon.
Salt literally sprinkled over a carpet
before sweeping will absorb the dust
and dirt, and bring out the colorS us
fresh as new.
To make silk which has been
wrinkled and tumbled appear like
new, sponge it on the surface with a
weak solution of gum abic or white
glue, and iron on the wrong side.
To drive away red ants. put one
pint of tar into two quarts of hot
water. Put in earthern vessels in
closets, or sprinkle sand, or strew
oyster shells, or red cedar shavings.
These will all be found effective in
removing these little nuiSanceS.

Tie Tclegrapller'S Pest.

a paper has been read before the
elcctrOtechine society of Berlin, Civ
ing some interesting particulars rela-
tive to birds and telegraph wires. In
trccleSs districts the smaller birds in
Germany are very fond of roosting
both on poles and wires. Swallows
frequently build under the caves where
wires lun into telegraph offices, and
actually stop work by causing contact,
between the wire and some neigh oor-
ing body which will carry the electric
current to the earth. Contacts with a
like result are often caused by large
birds alighting on the wires and caus-
ing them to swing together and touch.
Woodpeckers frequently peck holes
through the telegraph posts, and no
kind of preparation of the wood seems
to stop them from doing so. Sulphate
of copper, corrosive sublimate, chloride
OF zinc and other pOlSonS nave been ap-
piled to the wood as preservatives
against rot; but the birds peck away
at them all the same. At the recent
electrical exhibition at the Crystal pal
ace part of one of these pecked posts
was shown. The theory was then
broached that the woodpecker mistook
the vibration Of the attached wires for
the hum of insects, and attacked the
post with the notion of getting at them.
This theory is now combatted on the
ground that dry poles are frequently
infested with insects. But wood sat
urated with the poisons named above
must certainly be excepted. The
woodpeckers have evidently not yet

Scraping Trees.

Do we approve of scraping trees ?
asks a friend of ours. Certainly we
do, provided they need it, and one can
rarely find an old tree that does not.
Aside from the fact that the removal
of the old barb-Scales breaks up a re-
fuge for various insects, including the
woolly-aphis, the increased beauty of
the tree repays trouble. There are
scrapers made for the purpose; one of
these has triangular blade, another a
long blade, with one fiat and another
slightly concaye edge. An old hoe is
quite as good tool as any; cut off the
handle to about Is inches, and do not
grind the blade too sharp, as a cutting
implement is not needed = only a
scraper. On a very old trunk some
force may be needed to detach the
scales that are partly loose, but on
young trees be careful not to wound
the healthy bark. The scraping may
be done now, next month, or later.
When there comes a moist drizzly
spell, go over the scraped bark with
good soft soap, made thin enough with
water to apply with brush. Paint
over thick coat Ct this soap and
leave the rest to the rains. Later in
the season the trees will appear as if
furnished with mahogany trunks

No More Gate Sngging.

Some years ago our attention was
invited to what was considered rs an
inevitable and remediless evil - the
Sagglng of farm gates, and the ques-
ton was repeatedly put if farmers
were forever to submit to these imper-
feet means Of entrance to their fields,
barnyards, etc.? Our reply was that
time honored "bars" must be again
adopted, for, all things considered, they
were decidedly to be preferred to these
sagging gates. What, indeed, is more
annoying than a sagging gate? 1t is
forever out of order. 1t may be stiff
ened up one day, and the next it will
begin again to drop, in little while
to dragagain, and away goes hinge,
and this costs time and money to re-
pair. There has lately been, however,
substitute introduced for the farm
gate, which is more efficient and con-
venient, and which requires no hinges.

simply panel of fence made of inch
boards, say four slabs, six to eight
inches wide, nailed together by cross
pieces commencing about one foot from
each end. At the back end of the
panel two undressed common fence
posts are set, one, the side on which
the gate is to open, about an inch and
a half farther back, and the posts to
be only about the same distance apart
From one post to the other suitable
supports are nailed, On which this end
of the panel is to rest and move. At
the head of the panel an ordinary fence
post is set, the holes corresponding to
the ends Of the slabs in the panel,
which can, if necessary, be reduced a
little in width, and the four are to fit
in the holes of the post. This panel
can be moved easily, can be carried

A tender-hearted clergyman, who
resides in town adjoining Hartford,
was about to give trapped mouse to
the cat when he caught what he
thought was beseeching expression
in the little fellows eyes and he re-
Tented. The mouse was so innocent
and pretty, and the cat so eager to
seize it, that the minister told his wife
he would not sacrifice it, He took it
down in the lot and set it at liberty.
His wife told him that he had done a
very foolish thing, as the mouse would

the house again. Il guess not" said

FOR TIE FARM AND HOME.


Intelligent farmers everywhere real
ize that a proper mixture of grain
foods is more economical than to feed
exclusively Of one or two kinds. A
Connecticut farmer who makes farm
ing pay feeds his COWS two quarts
daily from mixture of 1900 pounds
of coarse wheat bran, 1000 pounds of
corn meal and 500 pounds of cotton
seed. This is mixed by being thor
oughly shoveled over on tight barn
floor. The same farmer thinks it pays
to feed coarse bran to hogs occasional
ly, when meal is fed regularly, as it
keeps them in good condition.
