If fruit trees after they have at
tain size sufficiently large for hear
ing fruit can be made to do as well in
grass as Whcn cultivated it is obvious
that it will be much less expense to
seed to grass and save the cost of cul-
tivation. But that would not be all
the advantage obtained. 1t is well
known that cultivation is likely to in
jure many of the large roots of the
trees. This is the grea est objection
to cultivating among large trees. 1t
is desirable that the roots should pene-
trate the soil near the surface in all
directions, since the surface soil is the
richest; lut if cultivation is practiced
the roots which Apr ach the surface
are continually torn and injured and
kept from approaching the surface. If
the soil is cultivated among large trees
the cultivation should be very shallow
so as to injure the roots as little as pos
sible. BY frequent top dressing with
fertilizers it is believed that the trees
will do equally as well in grass as
when cultivated. Pasturing sheep or
pigs in the orchard is a good method
of disposing Of what grass grows, and
enrich ng the SOIL The pigs and sheep
will also cat that fruit which falls pre-
maturely, and they destroy the larvae
of the coddling moth contained in it.
If, however, the grass is allowed to
grow it is best to cut it two or three
times during the summer end let it re-
main on the ground to mulch and en-
rich the soil. In regarl to whether to
cultivate an orchard or not it may be
said that if the trees are young they
neei not lie cultivated, but may lie
seeded to grass and top dressed.-Cor-
reSpOHdence / rGctical Farmer.

A South African Monster.

A snake so huge as to suggest the
suspicion that the sea serpent has tenn
porarily deserted Ills native element
has been discovered in the Witzenberg
mountains in South Africa. A resi-
dent who went out to shoot rock-rab-
bits, was sitting quietly waiting, when
suddenly, from a large opening in a
rock close by, he heard great noise
among these animals. He sat still,
wondering what it could mean, when
presently an enormous snake appeared.
He describes it as being scaly, and hay
ing head like good-sized calf, a neck
about two feet long and body about
six feet in circumference, its length
about twenty to tw' nty-five yards. He
saw the reptile first draw its hind body
forward, then, raising the front part
Of its body to the height of al out
fifteen feet, it gradually raised itself
over large krantz and disappeared.
He thong t of firing, but his gun
being loaded with very small shot, he
was afraid of drawing its attention
upon him. He also asserts that he
was within fifteen or twenty yards,
and had good view of the snake for
about five minutes.

The tax levied on salt throughout
the Indian empire is 1900 per cent.
Being forl idden to extract salt even
from the earth at the bottom of dry
salt pools, the very poor eat the earth

Sir John Lubbock, the well-known
English entomologist, has had for
warded to him from Prescott, Arizona,
nest of ants found near that place,
which is of peculiar construction and
great curiosity.
DR.. III. Muller observes that blues,
reds and certain violets are more at
tractive to bees than other shades of
color. Scarlets, oranges, and some
other loud colors, which the flowers of
not few plants having also an unat-
tractive odUr appear to possess, repel
the honey gathering insects.
Six fossil human bodies, those of a
man, two women and three children,
have been found in a cave in a coal
mine at Bally-Grenay, Pas de Calais,
and eleven have been found in an adj
joining apartment, with arms and
utensils in petrilied wood and stone,
and precious stones. The walls were
decorated with pictures and combats
between men and animals of great size.
Admiral Baldwin's snuff-box, corona
ton present from the car, is thus de-
scribed by correspondent: 1t is
estimated to be valued at $4,000. Six
solitaires, three on each side of the

apiece. The portrait is surrounde | by
a ring of about forty diamonds. The
box itself is an art gem, and has a
capacity for fully half a pound of snuff.

Hari-kari was a form of suicide,
sometimes voluntary and sometimes
commanded, common in Japan. The
officials of that empire carry two
swords, with one of which they de-
Tended their persons and with the
other their honor The deed consisted
in cutting open the abdomen with two
cross-cuts of short sword, and if the
honor of an officer was impugned he
was b lieved to have saved it by COM
hitting hari-kari. If an official fell
into dis grace he was commanded to
kill himself in this manner, as by so
doing his legal heirs could inherit his
property, which they could not do if
the suicide was accomplished in any
other manner. The custom his fallen
into disuse, and is now rarely heard Of
even in Japan.

Usefulness of tic Crow.

A Vermont farmer, writing to the
NeaO Eftgtdnd Furmer, puts in the fol-
lowing plea for the crow: 1t is well
known that crows are great destroyers
of mice and different kinds of destruct-
i've worms, which sometimes make sad
havoc with the farmers crops. The
common muckworm (larv.e of the dor
beetle), sometimes devastates Whole
fields of Indian corn. / have known
this to be fact beyond controversy.
This worm made sad inr ads on the
best hay crop in some parts Of Yer
mont. In some cases where this worm
has eaten off all the grain roots the
crows will turn over the turf after the
worms until it will appear like land
thoroughly rooted over by hogs. The
crow is the well known enemy of this
destructive worm. L think he does
not confine his usefulness to this worm
Only, but to any kind which he can
find. The grasshopper is getting to be
nuisance, even in New England. In
some sect ons of Vermont last season
it was very destructive to both
grass and grain. 1 do not be

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


One bushel of corn will grow as
many pounds of live poultry as it will

Moderately sailed food does not in
jure fowls, as q great MANY think.
Feed but little salt at first. 1t is an
appetizer.
Milk scalded into curd makes excel
lent food for young chicks. The sec
ond week you can feed cracked wheat
or oatmeal.
The Leghorns are great layers during
the greater part of the year, but are
, not as fine Tor table use as some of the
other breeds.
After the chickens are Matched feed
them well and often, and do not allow
them to stop growing until they are
ready for market.
1t is claimed that the Plymouth
Rocks, both as chicks and mature
fowls, are scarcely equaled by any
other breed in respect TO hardness.
The Houdan stands at the head of
the French fowls for layers and for
the table. They are hardy, sprightly,
handsome, and the chickens mature
early. They are bound to grow in pop
ularity.

plication for "scaly legs" One thor

Kerosene is good; rub some on the

will destroy the parasites entirely.

A Rival of Oninine.

German medical journals discuss a
new medical agent lately discovered
by Professor Els her, OF Munich. In
the course OF long series of investi-
cations concerning the nature and ac-
ton of quinine he found that by means
of succ ssion of chemical transfer
nations a substance can be obtained,
in the form of white crystalline pow
der, from coal tar which greatly re-
sembles quinine in it's action on the
human organism. Fischer has ven
it the name of "kairin." The chief
effect produced by it, as yet observed,
is the rapid diminutIon of fever heat,
and its efficiency in this respect is de-
scribed as remarkable. 1t is believed
that it will render the use of ice
in fever cases unnecessary, and that
its skillful employment will enable the
physician to moderate the temperature
of the patient. Karin is also reported
to have less inconvenience for the
stomach than quinine. But observa-
ton does not show--as yet at least
that it possesses that tonic and restora-
tive influence for which quinine is SO
frequently administered. Perhaps,
from chemical and physiological
point of view, the most valuable thing
about the new discovery is that it
seems to bring Us nearer finding out
the chemical nature of quinine itself
and the true character of its agency.
The discovery has been patented and a
mandatory of karin established,
under the direction of Professor Lau-
benheimer, of Giessen. But, as it is
said that the cost of producing kilo-
gramme (about thirty-five and one
quarter ounces) of the new agent is
sl5, it will be some time before its
patrons can hope to see it take the
place of quinine in practical pharmacy.

May %, 1888: ~ have used Hunts Remedy
in my family for over ten years. My wife
was troubled with catarrh of the bladder,
suffered intense pain in the kidneys and
loins, and urination was accomplished with
the greatest of agony. My friends thought
that she could not recover. We tried doctors
and medicines, and although better at times
she would grow worse again. She was obliged
to use the urinal as many as fifteen times in
a night, and was growing worse daily. At
this time my attention was called to Hunts
Remedy, and concluded to try it; and after
using one bottle she was good deal better,
the Inflammation was reduced, and the water
more natural. She began to gain in appetite
and fe,t no pain in the back and kidneys.
She could attend to her household work
without pain, and this had been great
burden to do, even the lightest kind of work.
After using six bottles she was completely
cured. Since then 1 have had occasion to
use Hunts Remedy for kidney and liver COM
