Asiatics, as a rule, are less liable to roup or
cold than other breeds, and their thick fluff is
a great protection from cold.
Good care will greatly improve any kind of
stock, but it is always better to begin with
pure stock of some kind and then give them
good care.
Partridge Cochins make good breeders at
- weeks old, and it is claimed by some that
their flesh is among chickens what the Short
Horn is among cattle
The Plymouth Rock cross upon Light Brah-
ma pullets has been successfully tried by many,
and, while do not recommend this as the
best way to improve, it is far better than
none.
1t is always a good plan to have place for
sick fowls. A sick fowl is always josted by
its mates, often hurting it more than the all
ment under which it is suffering.
The demand for improved poultry was new
err better than now. This is an age of pro
times must improve not only his poultry, but
other stock as well.
Scaly leg is caused by minute parasite,
which burrows under the skin, causing un-
slightly, scaly ridges. They can be removed
by application of sulphur and lard or kerosene
Roup is one of the worst of poultry diseas-
es. Many lose fowls from what they suppose
to be cholera, but is in reality roup. A bird
thus infected should be removed from the rest
and fed only on cooked food seasoned with
cayenne pepper An onion cut up and fed
raw is very good. l sometimes use "Roup
Remedy" but this is not in the hands OF all.
If the birds are kept in dry place they will
not often be troubled. Fired E. BdldloiH IN

TOMATOES. Tomatoes do best on light,
warm, not too rich soil, aud success depends
upon securing a rapid, vigorous, unchecked
growth during the early part of the season.
Sow in hot beds during March, or from six to
eight weeks before they can be set out of
doors when the plants have four leaves, put
into shallow boxes, setting four or five inches
apart Give plenty of air. aud endeavor to
secure a vigorous but steady and healthy
growth, so that at the time of setting in the
open ground they will be strong and stocky,
about as broad as high. A slight check when
the plants are small will materially lessen their
productiveness. Set out of doors as soon as
all danger of severe frosts is past, first hard
ening the plants by gradually exposing them
to the night air and Withdrawing water until
the wood becomes hard and the leaves thick
and of dark-green color. Transplant care
fully, and cultivate as long as the vines will
permit. The fruit is improved in quality if
the vines are trained to trellis or stakes -

CIV and Country Life.

To country lads and lasses come many COM
forts and many pleasures denied to dwellers
in towns; not least of these Is leisure for So
cial intercourse, for mental improvement by
reading and study, and for frolic. In the
country the idea is quite generally held that
city folk have time and money to give for the
enjoyment Of lectures, concerts and other en-
tertainments but more than half the farmers
boys and girls have more leisure, more mon.
ey and more liberty for enjoyment than have
a majority of the workers in towns.
Amusements and lectures cost more money
than the majority of city folk can afford to
pay, even if they could spare time to attend.
The hearty healthful and happy ways in
which young people in the country spend the
leisure of their winter days and evenings are
and must remain practically unknown in the
city. Scant time for pleasures have they who
must rise at FIVE in the morning, ns thousands
must, to swallow q hasty breakfast and ride
perhaps an hour in a crowded, cold and dirty
street car, to begin the days work at seven
o'clock, and continue, with but one brief res
pite, until six o'clock and night have come to-
gether Before home is reached and supper
eaten eight o'clock is at hand and neither
time nor inclination remains for increasing
the fatigue brought by the days toll, and
study is likely to be of the lightest and brief
est kind. They must prepare for another
long and weary round of labor, and that can
not be well done by spending long evening
in study or in amusements.
Hard as the farmers work may be, it is at
no time more laborious than that of many a
mechanic, nor is it ever so increasingly mo-
| notonous Seldom, if ever, does it demand
that unremitting mental application which
| brightens the mind of the business man as
! the milestone brightens the blade--by wear
ing it away. Each changing season on the
farm brings its own work to give that rest
which comes to mind and muscle alike from
the change of occupation. Only the brighter
side is seen by other when looking obviously
upon the life of the other. The weared clerh
or the mechanic, pinched by poverty snd
driven by the relentless demands of the land
lord, the grocer, the coal.de and perhaps
the doctor, signs for the safety the indepen
dence and the freedom of the farm life, where
the income does not instantly cease at tbs

ueJuction Of the Sugar TaN---NO Ef-
feet on the Price Of Maple Sugar,
For several years there has been an up
ward tendency to the maple sugar market
The area Of the maple sugar producing dis
tricls is very limited and it has been proper
tionally diminished by the increase Of popu-
lation. BY the census Of 1850 there was
made in Vermont / 1, 2Gl, 900 poundsof maple
sugar and l2s, 900 gallons Of maple molasses
The equivalent of the latter in sugar would
make the total product of the state more
than twelve and one-half million pounds, or
more than one-half as much as all that is
made in the rest of the country. The total
product of maple sugar in all the states would
not be enough to supply each inhabitant with
three.fourth Of pound. As there is grow
ing demand for it as a luxury, especially at
the West, and as the supply is never likely
to be equal to the demand, the reduction of
the duty on sugar will not affect the price of
the maple sugar product in the least. 1t
would hardly affect it if the duty on sugar
had been entirely removed, as it should have
been in the interest of the people or the
fifty millions that inhabt this country there
are not one-half of one million that are in
any way benefited by tax on sugar. The
interests of ninety-nine out of every hun
bred would be promoted by putting sugar on
the free list The high tax on sugar is rel
let of the old days of the shareholders do
minion, when the cane planters of Louisiana
were the subjects of special fayors.
The new tariff reduces the duty on sugar
SO slightly that we shall hardly know the diff
ference in the price. 1t will still be taxed
nearly or quite one-half its value exclusive Of
the duty. Under the old tariff we have been
paying for many years a tax of moro than
30 per cent. nd valorem or an average of
about two and one-half cents per pound, for
unrehned sugar-no refined sugar of any ac-
count is imported. The refners and dealers
charge profit, of course, not only on the
sugar but on the additional capital required
to pay the duties, which in the end all comes
out Of tho consumer, making the tax which
wo have actually paid on every pound of
sugar about three cents. The new tariff act
will reduce it only the fraction of q cent.
The poor man with a large family will still,
in many instances, pay greater tax on this
one necessary article than all he is required
to pay to his state and town. 1t is crcdita-
BILE to our representive in Congress, Mr.. Ty-
Ter, that he urged greater reduction of the
duty on sugar 1t is difficult to see why the
people have SO long submitted without com
plant to this excessive tax on one of the
most common and necessary articles of food
