RURAL SPRING STYLES.

Spring styles in the country, and es-
pecially on the farm, are as prevalent as
town fashions, and quite as varied in
many rural districts. The styles to
which we refer, however, do not pertain
to the fashion OF clothing worn by rural
lists, but rather to the manner in which
they prepare for and perform their prac-
tical labors. Among progressive farmers
and gardeners, the prevailing styles do
not vary materially from the ssmodes" of
former spring seasons. The most
thoughtful and thorough cultivators have
already (probably weeks ago. secured
good seed Of the best varieties; and it is
their fashion to prepare the soil in the
best manner as early as practicable, and
to plant with care and system as soon
thereafter as all conditions are favorable.
It is their style to have the best of tools
and implements and to see that they are
ready for use whenever wanted. 1t is
also their fashion to have ga place for
everything and everything in it's place.
than the observance" by many slow-going
farmers, Paint, whitewash, ETC., are
much used this spring, durable colors be-
ing preferred for buildings, palings, inn
plements and the like. Some permanent
as well as temporary farm improvements
are being inaugurated by shrewd hus-
bandmen-notably the construction of
needed outbuildings, good gates, straight
fences, and the planting of orchards and
vineyards. Trading with strangers is
not as much practised as formerly, and
giving promissory notes is going out of
date, not being considered s'good FORM
Investing in new varieties of fruits and
INFESTED plants and grains is not in
vogue this season, as it is becoming the
custom to first ascertain as to their
adaptation to soil and climate.
In various localities the prevailing style
is to have neat door-yard fences and
walks, and good vegetable and flower
gardens. The catalogues of seedsmen,
nurserymen, and of dealers in implements
and fertilizers, have been much sought
after for definite information by those
who believe in improved rural styles.
Many farmers wives and daughters have
adopted the fashion Of devoting special
attention to flowers and ornamental
plants and shrubs, and their rural home
surroundings will ere long present at
tractive displays. Several old but cred
liable styles continue popular, while
some new ones, that indicate decided
progress and improvement, are being in

AN INTOXICATED Sow.-Perhaps the
best remedy when sow is nervous and
takes to killing her pigs is to make her
dead drunk by giving her whisky in
warm slop. This is sure to quiet her for
some hours and give the pigs time
enough to fill themselves with warm
milk, and snug up to the warm belly of
the cruel mother. While the stupor is
on the sow the pigs may be sponged off
with diluted carbolic acid, the smell of
which does not invite an attack, and it
has no odor of a young pig. The writer
has seen this tried and as the pigs were
saved it was claimed to be beneficial.
There is no more exasperating trial to
ones patience than to see an old brute
pounce upon and eat her pigs. They
sometimes seem to do it from cussed-
ness. Yet the writer has never had a
case where the sow has been handled as
above Observation-Disclosures Gazette.

POTATOES FOR PLANTING.-AS long aS
we can remember there has been dis
cussion going on as to the planting of
potatoes, whether they should be cut or
uncut, and whether they should be plant
ed in hills or rows. We have carefully
watched the result Of the different modes
and have come to the conclusion that
large potatoes cut in from two to four
pieces, having at least one eye to each
piece. and planted in rows, the pieces be-
ing about twelve inches apart, and the
rows being every third furrow, about fills
the bill. The pieces should be spread
upon the barn floor to dry for about two
weeks before planting and until the eyes
begin to shoot. The cultivator should be
run frequently to keep the sol! we'll STIR
red up, and the grass and weeds COM
pletely removed. When large enough,
say six to eight inches in height, they
should be plowed between the rows, the
ground being thrown up to the vines,
| and any that may become covered in the
operation should have the clods and soil
removed. We have found that the crop
would yield more potatoes and u greater
| proportion of large ones by being cut and
seasoned, and planted in rows, than in
any other way. The experience of other
growers has resulted in a like opinion.

To PRESERVE EGGs.-The following
method we have practiced with very sat
isfactory results, and it's cheapness and
convenience commend it to all A COM
mon coal oil barrel was purchased for
one dollar, one head was taken out, a
bunch of straw thrown in and set on fire
(before lighting the fire, however, it is
well to provide tight fitting cover to
slip on when you think it has burned
enough, as it will make a tremendous
blaze, and must be done out of doors,
and out of reach of danger. This process
frees the barrel from tants of oil, and be-
sides we think the charring of the inside
has something to do with the preserva-
ton of the eggs) the barrel was then
sunk in the clay bottom of the cellar (but
any cool place, we think, would answer)
up to within six inches of the top, and
filed half-fuil of clean, spring water,
then put in a peck of fresh unslacked
lime, two quarts of salt, and a fourth
pound Of cream tartar, stir it well to dis
solve the ingredients as mucn as posi-
BILE, let it stand over night to settle and

STRAWBERRY GROWING.-Strawberr
should not be set over a newly turned sod
nor in any field where the grubs are
known to abound, until after they have
been destroyed by starvation or other
wise. The principle damage to the
strawberry is done the first year, while
the plants are small. In old beds the
grubs find food so abundant that, unless
very numerous, they are seldom noticed
by the damage they do. Many people
believe that the use of fresh stable ma
nures, sawdust or chip dirt tends to
breed or to increase the number of these
grubs in our fields or gardens, but we
have little fears in this direction. This
idea has doubtless gained favor from the
fact that other grubS somewhat reSem-
bling the dorbeetle grub are often found
in chip dirt, old rotten wood, and in
Jumps of stable manure that have been
spread and plowed into the soil. But it
should be known that the grub found in
manure is not a root-eating insect, but
subsistS in the larva state on decaying
substances. The muck worm, as it is
called, grows much faster than the grass
and strawberry feeder, and is more of
blush color, quite smooth and glossy
and usually plumper than the root-eater.
We have seen dozen in a lump of ma
nure that was not more than two or three
inches in diameter, and in it they stay for
a week, while the whittier grub is con-
stantly moving about in search of fresh
roots to devour.
