Slugs md SnDiIs,

The experience Of a gardener given
in a late issue of RerWc Horticole, in
regard to the destruction of these
creatures, which are 50 harmful where
they are abundant, is particularly
worthy of attention, and it is hoped
that at last We have a quick and easy
method of dcSpatching them when
they make their appearance. Some
pulverlzed sulphate of copper (blue
vitriol) is mixed with coarse wheat
bran, and the mixture placed about the
garden where the slugs can have ac-
cess to it; they scent the bran and
greedily eat it, but almost Immediately
die from the effects of the copperas.
In using this mixture in the open air
where there is danger that birds might
eat it and thus be poisoned, it must be
protected so as to prevent access of the
birds while allowing slugs to reach it.
This can easily he done by inclosing a
little space with small sticks set up
right, and covering it so that the slugs
can crawl through, while the birds are
fenced out. --.Vick's Magozine.

round without bruising himself, and to
lie down and stretch himself with COM
fort. Let the stalls be separated by
partitions, not by bars. They prevent
the horses from fighting and kicking
each other. Let proper openings be
made just under the ceiling, to permit
the hot, foul air to escape, and proper
openings at the bottom of the wall to
admit fresh air. Impure and confined
air will cause broken wind. The fresh
air should enter through number of
small holes, rather than a large hole,
such as an open window. That pre-
vents draughts, which cause chills and
coughs. The temperature of a stable
should be that of a sitting-room or par
lor; not over seventy degrees in sum
mer, nor under forty-ive in winter
Hot, close or foul stables will bring on
CHAMBERS or inflammation, while very
cold or damp one may cause an incu-
rable cough or disease of the lungs.
Do not keep the hay over the manager.
The steam and breath of the animal
make it both unpleasant and unwhole-
some. If the hay must be kept over
the horse, the ceiling between should
of plaster, This will in some measure
prevent vapors from passing up to the
food. Have no opening into the man
ger from the hayloft. Dust is very of
ten thrown into the horses eyes when
fed in this way, and thus blindness is
begun. The breath ascends directly to
the food through the opening, which
at the same time, pours a continual
draught down on the horses head, thus
causing chills as well as bad food.

When Peter the Great was living in
England, he said and did many strange
things. When in Westminster hall,
he inquired of a distinguished bar
rister who were the gentlemen in wigs
and gowns, and on being told that
they were lawyers, said:
Lawyers! Why, | have but two
in my whole dOmnions, and, when |
return, ! mean to hang one"
The house which he occupied while
in England -Saye's court, at Deptford,
the property of Evelyn, the author of
"Sylva"-was left in dirty, ruinous
condition after the imperial visit. In
the garden at Saye's court was thick,
prickly holly hedge, four hundred feet
long. This fine holly hedge was u
source of great delight to Peter and
his retinue in their drunken revelries.
They would get wheelbarrows, and,
putting person in each for wagers,
charge the hedge. Peter himself was
sometimes in the barrow; but the
grandest attack of all was made 10y his
czarship, when he drove the luckless
Prince Menzikotf four feet into the
bush and left him sticking there.
Evelyn's servant writes to him of
their doings at Deptford: "There is a
house full of people right nasty. The
car lies in your library. He dimes
twice, at ten o'clock and six. The
king is coming here to-day, and the
best parlor is tolerably clean for him. u

r. accomplish Il large amount of
work in haying time with comparative
ease and also tosecure the hay in the best
average condition, the following meth
od is recommended: Run the moving
machine from four until eight in the
afternoon. As soon as the dew is off
in the morning, spread the swaths and
open the tumbles, if you have any.
Then draw in the hay if there is any
ready, and rake up that which was
moved the afternoon before. The early
morning hours may be devoted to
grinding scythcs and machine knives
and unloading the hay in the barn. If
the grass lays in the Swath one night
in the tumble the next night, and is
drawn into the barn in the heat of the
day and LETT to stand and sweat an
other night it will not need many
hours sun either day. If sweet,
bright hay, free from dust, is wanted,
the farmer should neither NOW it.
Spread it, rake it nor load it while it is
wet with the dew. In order to follow
this plan supply of suitable hay caps
is needed; then, if shower is seen
coming up, the farmer will find it less
work to put it in heaps and cover it up
than to get it into the barn. -Amerjcon

1t is claimed that corn is the most
suitable food for sitters. The require
mcnts of a sitter differ from those of
other hens Keeping quiet and with
out much exercise, not much is re-
quired to sustain life, and their food
should be Of such a nature as to digest
slowly. For this reason whole grain
is preferred and corn is thought to be
much the best Soft food of any kind
is soon digestcd, and the hen becomes
hungry, and either leaves the nest too
frequently or becomes very poor. The
advantage of corn over other grain is
that it is more oily and not so likely to
stimulate the production of eggs, and,
being hard and compact, is digested
much slower than other grain.

The plants should be drawn from the
bed; one at a time, and carefully placed
in baskets or in the body of a wagon
for removal to the field as soon after a
rain as the soil will admit of stirring.
New ground may be planted immedi.
atcly after rain, but old should not.

and iniure it. An expert man can
transplant 5000 to 1000 per day, if he
has the endurance to stoop and plant a
whole day. The leaves of the plant
should he drawn together over the bud
and the plant set so that the bud will
just reach the surface of the ground,
The soil should be well pressed against
the roots of the plant, using care to
leave no hollow space below it. Plants
are often lost by the carelessness of
the lahorer in pressing the earth to the
upper part of the root, leaving the
lower extremity dangling in the hole
made by the dibble. If the plant bed
is not well moistened by the rain to the
depth of the roots of the plants it
should be thoroughly wet by artificial
means before drawing the plants

Ashes fresh from the stove or fur

ents necessary for plant growth, and

tilizcr to a worn-out or naturally poor

moved from ashes in teaching, and as
this constituent is leading one,
leached ashes are Of less value as Il
plant food than when fresh. The
owner should save, in secure place,
all the ashes male, and apply them to
the land in the spring. A top-dressing

pasture or meadow will give good re-
turns for several years. The lcachcd

manner, only they may be applied at
the rate of 100 bushcl, per acre.
Leached ashes have been bought and
used for many years Icy farmers and
gardeners on Long island and near the
shore towns in Connecticut. These
ashes are brought mainly from Cana

profitable. 1t has been observed that

A Moving Stra wberry Bed.

A London gardener planted straw
berry patch four feet wide across his
garden, in one side of which potatoes
were planted. The potatoes were dug
up about the end of June, the ground
leveled and raked smooth, so that the
strawberry runners formed new
bed. The next season a similar pro-
cess was pursued, thus establishing a
moving strawberry bed, At the end
OF three years the original plants were
exhausted and dug up, though the bed
annually grew wider without renewal

oyster lives on stuff that runs down

are sluggish, there is not so much stuff
washed into the streams, and poor Mr..
