What Fowls Need.

Fowls must have a sand-bath. 1t is
their sponge, towel, toothbrush and
dressing comb all in one. How would
you feel, my dainty lady, if denied all
your toilet appendages and compelled
to go, day after day, unwashed and I'M
kempt, and to wear soiled and rumpled
garments? Even sc suffers Mistress
Biddy without her daily dust-bath, and
nature, that infallible teacher, directs
her to the nearest and most convenient
place for such a renovation of the skin
and feathers. If no other soft, sandy
and loamy earth is at hand you may be
sure she will use your tlower-bed with
out regard to consequences. She may
learn to hide at your approach, taught
by a blind instinct that you are her
enemy, but the idea that you begrudge
her the dearest delight of her hapless
days-the use of the free soil for her
bodily needs-is one that poor Biddy's
small brain can never comprehend.
Descend to her level, then, yourself;
consider her wants and supply them
without delay. So shall the s'irre-
pressible conflict" of Biddy's wishes
and yours in regard to the flower.
beds be amicably settled. and both
of you hereafter live in peace. Have
a cart full of loan, sand and road
dust, and a sprinkling of ashes, char
coal and sulphur placed under cover
where your fowls can sun themselves,
dust their bodies to the destruction of
annoying parasites, and scratch and
bury themselves by the hour together
whenever the wish may seize them, and
you may lay the tlattering JUNCTION to
your soul that the beatitude which re-
refers to the equality of mercy may
be applied to yourself then, f nevor be-
fore.-- PomLtrQ World,

The Surgeons Knife.

Required to Remove q Stone from the
Bladder-This Dangerous Operation
Might Have Been Avoided by the Time
ly Use of DIR. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy tof Rondout, n. Y.L
Mr.. Simeon Tietsell, formerly Of Rom
dout, N. Y, had been treated for seven
years by various physicians for what they
called Structure of the Urethra, without
benefit. He finally consulted DR.. David
Kennedy. Of Rondout, N. Y, who found
his trouble to be Urinary Ca1cult or Stones
in the Bladder. The Doctor at once re-
moved the foreign bodies with the knife,
and then gave his great kidney and liver
medicine, FAvORITE REMEDY, to pre-
vent their reformation. The entire treat-
ment was eminently successful, and Mr..
Tietsell's recovery was rapid and complete.
While FAVORITE REMEDY is specific
in all Kidney and Bladder diseases, it is
equally valuable in cases of Bilious Dis
orders, Constipation of the Bowels, and all
the class of ills apparently inseparable
from the constitutions of women. Don't
forget the name and address, DIR. David
Kennedy, Rondout, N, Y. The Doctor
would have it understood that, while he is
engaged in the introduction of his medi-
cine, FAVORITE REMEDY, he still con-
tinues the practice of his profession. He
treats all diseases of q chronic character,
and performs all the minor and capital
operations OF surgery.

Manuring in the Hill or Broadcast.

Where anu is car it may
times be profitable to apply directly in
the hill or drill before planting or sow.
ing the seed, but taken as a whole 1 do
not consider this advisable if it can be
helped. I fully tried the plan once,
and although the plants treated in this
way did very well, taking all things
into consideration, yet they fell far be-
hind those planted at the same time on
soil that had been well MANFRED by APP
Hlying broadcast and then thoroughly
working into.
The main reason is this: The roots of
all plants extend a considerable distance
in every direction from fhe plants. OF
course some may go deeper in the soil
than others, while those that do not
reach SO far down into the soil are gen
orally those that send out the greater
part of their roots neal the surface on
the sides of the main roots.
In manuring in the hill we usually
gauge the amount of manure to be APP
piled by the size of the plant and the
drill. That is, we would reasonably
expect to use less in a drill row laid out
to be sown to radishes, than in another
in which we proposed planting pota-
toes.
In either case the probabilities are
that after the plant had made any con-
siderable growth we were to make a
careful examination we should find that
the larger proportion of the fine, small
roots, that are, in fact, the ones that
furnish the greater proportion of the
nourishment to the plant, extend out
quite a distance beyond the drill or
manure.
While these feeding roots are spread
ing out or growing through that part
of the soil where the manure has been
applied, much benefit is derived, but
once beyond it this benefit surely de-
creases, and that, too, at a time when
in the majority of cases the extra stimu-
liant in shape of good plant food is
really more necessary to make the crop
profitable than in the early stages of its
growth.
I do not mean by this that I am not a
believer in doing ALL can to give grow
ing plants a good, strong start; but that
after they have made a start this must
be kept up, and in my experience l be-
lieve this cannot be accomplished as
we'll by manuring in the hill as by a
liberal quantity scattered broadcast.
And yet with my experience 1 am hard
ly prepared to say that with only a linn
tied quantity of manure it may not be
better to apply by drill than to thinly
scatter broadcast. Still with only a
reasonable quantity, which in thesma-
jority of cases would not be considered
a good application, 1 would prefer
the latter plan, working into the soil in
as fine a condition as possible. With
unleached wood ashes, poultry manure
or night soil, which are our strongest
natural fertilizers, l would under all
circumstances work broadcast into the
soil in preference to applying in the
hill.-C0r. Prairie Farmer.
