Collectors who have failed to
make final settlements for collec-
tons of taxes for 1883 and previous
years are earnestly requested to do
so at once. Farther time cannot be
granted. Collectors, at the close of
the second quarter, must be pre-
pared to file in this office process
verbal of sales (see circular of Jan.
9th) of property made to the State,
and make a final settlement of taxes
for 1884.

TO the Connecticut Farmer, in regard to
a matter in which all poultry raisers are
more or less interested: | have had a
little experience in poultry raising that
desire to give the world the benefit of.
The disease called pipes" or 'sgapes"
need never prove fatal if the following
directions are followed in treatment Of
the disorder: Place all the chicks that
show symptoms in wash-tub, give them
saucer of water, cover the tub with a
thick cloth, place small quantity of
tobacco in the bottom of clay pipe
bowl, get it well ignited, then fill the
bowl up, place it under the cloth and
blow the tub full of smoke if it takes a
pound of tobacco and starts the bottom
off your stomach. After the tub has
been full of smoke for one minute. not
any longer, take off the cover and fan the
chicks. They will have the appearance
of being dead, but give them plenty of
fresh air and they will revive. Then
place thin cloth over the tub to give a
circulation of air. In the course of two
hours every worm will be coughed up
and you will have no further trouble
with that lot. Don't be afraid of giving
too much SMOKE, but don't leave them
too long in it.

BONNET TRIMMINGS.

Feathers are no longer seen, nor
birds, with the exception of the smallest
of every sort, that nestle in soft, messy
chenille nests resting upon small boughs
or stems, and other stems on which are
congregated humming-bird and others
of the smallest, known and unknown.
Flowers surpass all previous efforts of
artists in rivaling nature, Yellow

plastic stems; great Guelder roses, Just
tinted with palest pink; seeded meadow
grasses and purple clover; white and
purple lilacs; banehes OF silky, fluffy
thistles and swamp meadow grasses
sparkling with dewdrops; dark, double

pale single violets; pale, pink-shaded
primroses and white violets; strange,
wierd orchids; ell manner of field

daisies. buttercups, wild roses, and
striped ribbon grasses. are tied togeth-

pink, white, creamy, red, with dew

honeysuckle blowing fairy horns of

flowers, and the simple flowers and the
graceful weeds of the field, even those
daylight stars, dandelions, glinting

The small gilt square and triangular

Picturesque Gardening
The Current. /

The Current.
Mr.. Roger Riordan, in Outing for
May, makes a vigorous plea for pictu-
rescue gardening, particularly in public
parks. lie suggests that the gardeners
treat the landscape as the painters do.
at may take better artist, " he SAYS, "to
see where a characteristic group of indi-
genous trees should be preserved than to
know how to plant exotics. And 70
observe and follow the harmonies of
color displayed in natural foliage, the
dispositions oil trees and shrubs which
make place appear free and open or
secluded-which stand up, bold mass,
against the sky or seem to blend with it
in the distance, is a work as artistic. to
say the least, as to lay out ribbon-beds
of pelar-goniums and coleuses, or to cut
vistas through shrubbery so as to dis
play unsightly buildings"
But while thus disposed to the presen-
tation of the natural landscape, Mr..
Riordan, though admitting that nature
abhors the straight line, protests against
serpentine walks and favors straight
paths between points. Though Shen.
stone held that "the feet should not
travel over what the eye has gone over
before" Mr.. Riordan declares they
should, if that is the easiest way for
them.

Agricultural Items.

Water in which fish viii not live is
not fit for stock.
"Cheap" help is expensive on the
farm, as it is everywhere else.
The Jerusalem artichoke Is cultivated
in France for making alcohol.
There are known to be 176 varieties of
insects that feed on the apple tree.
Cecil county, Maryland, holds its fair

No labor performed on a farm affords
greater pleasure or gives such sure
profits as stock raising.
1t is common practice for Eastern
farmers to cut one crop of clover and
pillow the second crop under for manure.
The Western cattle raisers are more
and more using thoroughbred bulls.
That is the sure way to improve herds.
Grade bulls are very uncertain.
Be sure and see that the setting hens
are free from vermin before you set
them. Give them q busting of sulphur
several times during the three weeks
they are on the nest.
The Farm, Field and Stockman thinks
one stalk of corn to a hill, with the hills
two feet apart and four feet between the
rows, is the most profitable way to cult
Vate corn.
A writer in the Prairie Farmer recon-
mends the late planting of field beans to
protect them from the ravages of the
bean weevil. For six years he has plant
ed his field beans from the Goth of June
to the 10th of July and has found them
entirely free from the weevel, while
those planted early were literally honey
combed by it.
No one who has not tried raising and
feeding turnips to sheep, says the Stock
man, can have full appreciation of the
benefit derived from this cheap food and
an the increased thrift of their stock.
There can be no doubt of the advantage
of the English method of feeding com
pared with ours, if we compare their
immense fat mutton with ours; and in
all the feeding districts of the English
provinces turnips are fed in immense
quantities.

a PARADISE FOR LAZY MEN.
Where the People are Born Tired and
Can Live on as Cents a Week.

Key West has, without exception. the
finest climate in the United States.
There IS always a breeze and rarely a
gale, and you may wear a stray hat
with propriety every day in the year.
1t is solely due to the monumental
sluggishness of the population that Kew
West Is almost unknown to the tourist
and health-seeker. KEY West is reach
ed by steamers from New York, from
New Orleans. and by a mail steamer
from Tampa Bay, The key has about
as much shape as camel, but in gen.
eral way lies east and west, and con-
tains about six square miles. 1t is as
hat as a pancake, the highest point be-
ing sixteen feet above mean sea level.
Io the casual visitor it looks as though
the sea, particularly in a storm, would
submerge this insignificant rise: hui il
Is matter of record that it never has.
The city proper covers the western end
OF the key. It is densely settled, and
about as un-Ameriean as possible, bear

plainly built, and, with few excep-
tons, painted white There are, | think.
only three brick buildings. certainly
not more than six. Piazzas abound.
and occasionally some lattice-work IS
seen, but there is no attempt at Gecara-
ton or display. Many of the business
houses have no signs, and there is a
general air of don e-whether-I-sen
or-not about the shops. The houses are
OF all sizes, jumbled up in the oldest
way, and anywhere but on tbs line OF
the street. The interior OF each block
Is filled up with one-story shanties, ac-
cess to which is had by going up alleys,
through fences, or over somebody else's
yard The population being 1000,
land Is precious. Lots are divided and
subdiyided, and houses built in Yards
and gardens are wedged in here, there.

for house they build stable or pig

the corners. The richest people do nos
thus disdain to thus add from IS to Sc

destroys their privacy and disfigures
their grounds.
The streets are of good width, toler-
ably straight and passably clean. The
roadway is coral rock. There is no

FASHION NOTES.

Parasols of dark navy blue, green
brown or garnet are preferred to black.
Indian muslin, daintily Aecked with
gold or silver, is fayorite fabric for
ball dresses for first season"
Bright striped gauze ribbons in all the
col0rs Of the rainbow are seen for hat
trimmings. Fancy canvass searfs are
also very popular.
A valuable bit Of knowledge is that
bent whalebones can be restored and
used again by simply soaking in water
few hours, then drying them.
Real India seersuckers form one of
this seasons novelties. They present 4
shirred or gathered appearance and
do not require ironing when laun
dried.

shades, placed in front of the crown and
combined with beaded ornaments and
stiff birds wings. Malines tulle wells
are worn with these hats, in the color

Among. some freshly imported French
goods designed for elegant wear this sum
