Spring Work.

Before the grass gets much started every
moving field should be looked over care
fully for any loose stones or other rubbish
that might be in the way in haying time.
This is work that can hardly be trusted to
any but trusty boys or men. One rolling
stone left where the grass will hide it
may cause a breakage that will require
sending a long distance for duplicate parts.
and several days delay at time when
DELAYS are costly as well as dangerous. A
great many grass and grain fields would
be greatly helped this spring by light ap
pications OF fertilizer spread just as the
spears begin to grow in earnest. A too
early dressing. especially if the principal
ingredient is nitrate of soda. would be less
economical than if applied after the plants
are ready to appropriate 1t.
A perennial job on many farms at this
season of the year is mending up old
fences. and fortunate is the man who can
mend his fences sufficiently SO that they
will give him no more trouble during the
season. Farmers should reduce the
amount of their fencing to the smallest
possible limit. for fence, though it may
save crops, produces none. and is a con-
slant bill of expense. If we could learn
to get along with half the amount of fenc-
ing we now support, we could afford to
have that half constantly in good repair
so that our animals would always keep in
side OF them. There is little doubt that
some form of barbed wire is to be the
fence of the future. 1t is comparatively
cheap, not difficult to build, is light to
haul, and last but not least, offers no OBJ
struction to snow in winter, which makes
it especially desirable along public ways
where snow banks are wont to form.

How to Cure Egg Eating.

Sometimes the habit is formed by the
carelessness of the kitchen maid or house.
keeper. in throwing the egg-shells into the
pail and giving them with the other waste
to the hens. This should never be done
if you want hens to respect their own
eggs. Understanding the cause of this
unthrifty habit, it is not very difficult to
provide a remedy. From . recent expert
ence, we have found that the habit is very
much broken by an abundant supply OF
crushed shells. 1t had grown 30 bad in
flock of twenty Light Brahamas, owing
to neglect of this ration, that they de-
voured every egg, without the closest
watching at the cackle OF every laying
hen. Giving the shells every morning.
the craving ceased, and we found the
nests undisturbed. As assistant to this
remedy. we manufactured an egg.trap
from a common nest-box. This is 80 sin
ple that any one accustomed to the use of
tools can make it in an hour or two.
slight inclination OF the board upon which
the nest-egg is fastened will cause the new
laid egg 10 roll away from under the hen,
beyond her reach as soon as it is dropped.
Il
to the center. and projects over the other
board far enough to protect the egg when
it has rolled away. The space between
the boards is just wide enough to give
tree passage to the eggs. The egg
box may be lined with a handful
Of sawdust. or chaff, to protect the
shells from cracking. If the back
board be furnished with hinges. it can be
used as lid, to allow the removal of the
eggs. Itis complete egg trap. and with
the oyster shells. in our case abated the
nuisance of egg eating. Many think. that
when a hen contracted the habit of egg
eating the shortest way is the best. and
instead of eating she is put in condition
to be be eaten. But good layer is too val
liable to be given up without an effort to
reform her bad habit, often acquired
through the negligence of the owner.
The egg-trap works admirably. and Sc
cures the end desired by placing it out OF
the power of the hen to do mischief

POISON

In the blood is apt to show itself in the SPRING and
nature should by all be assisted in throwing II
off. Swift's Specific does this effectively. 1t is
purely vegetable, poisonou remedy. which helps
nature to force all the poison taint out through
the pores of the skin.
Mr.. Robert A. Easley Of Dickson, Tenn, writes,
under date March 10, 1884: "I had chis and fever,
followed by rheumatism, for three years, so that !
not able to attend to my business; had tried
almost every kind of medicine. and found relief.
A friend recommended Swift's Specific. tried one
bottle and my health began to improve. 1 continued
until had taken six bottles, and 1t has set on
my feet, sound and well as ever. recommend it
to all similarly afflicted"
Letters from twenty three (23) ofthe leading retail
druggists of Atlanta say under date March "a, 1884

It has been before the pubic ior nearly
forfy wears, and has constantly grown
in nopuIar favor, both at home and
abroad, until there is hardly place in the
civilized world where it has not host OF
friends, made so by its marvellous cures.
II has been used in, and approved by.
at least 1900, 900 families in the United
States, and ,OOO, 900 throughout the world.
Women have especial reasons for com
mending it.
It has proven its potency in curing
obstinate, deeply-seated. and long-stand-
ing diseases caused by vitiation of the
blood. 1t must net, however, be ex-
pected and is not claimed that single
bottle will cure such cases; but patients
should persevere in the use Of this remedy
until q radical cure is effected.
It is the only blood-purifier that has won
and retained the confidence of the people
of all tropical countries, where such medi-
cines are much required.
