The most successful seeding to grass
may be done in July and August, after
b grain crops are taken off. The
present season has been a bad one for
the seed sown last fall. The hard
winter destroyed the timothy, and the
late spring has interfered greatly with
the seeding of the clover. AS a rule,
it may be said that summer seeding is
more successful than fall and spring
seeding, but the ground must be thor.
oughly well prepared. The whole Sc
cret lies in this preparation. The
following plan has been found ex-
cellent. The stubble is we'll plowed,
not more than four inches deep. and
Immediately narrowed, in a thorough
manner There are several new in
plements which do this work in tho
best manner, pulverizing the soil,
leveling the surface and smoothing it.,
so as to get the land in the most per-
feet condition for the seed. After ali
this has been done, and the furrow
marks obliterated, the seed is sown
and the surface Immediately rolled.
If this is done in July, nothing more
is required. If IT is left later, 1t will
be desirable to SOW turnip seed, at the
rate of one pound per acre, with the
grass seed. This affords protection
for the young grass and clover in the
fall and winter. We have found it a
good plan to leave the turnips on the
ground and not gather them. They
will be killed by the frost, and the
leaves falling down, furnish protection
to the grass during the winter, and in
the early spring, when so much dam
age is usually done by the alternate
thaws and frosts. The grass will
usual furnish one cutting the same
season, but it should not be pastured,
as the surface is not yet firm enough,
nor the plants sufficiently well rooted
to stand such a tax.

The Confessions OF a Smoker.

Yes, it is a terrible bondage. 1t is a
slavery. Yes, l inhale the smoke, and
then blow it out again. 1t is very silly,
is it notP LIDO the same thing with my
breath. Away with this useless breath.
Some breaths are much pleasanter far,
far away. Why do 1 smoke cigarsp
Because l am the biggest, and there
fore the cigar cannot help itself. 1t is
an economical habit; the smoke of the
cigar keeps the moths out of my hair.
Then l use tobacco to preserve human
life. Science tells me that three drops
of the oil of tobacco placed upon the
tongue of a rattlesnake or a dog will
kill either or both of them in a minute.
l tremble to think how many times 1
walked in the very shadow of death be-
fore l began to carry a plug of tobacco
around with me. Now when 1 meet a
mad dog, l am secure. He may bite
me, but l will kill him. The cannibal
who eats me will dream that night that
he got hold of the wrong prescription.

An ABSENT Minded Barber.

eyes" SAID the proprietor of an up
town barber-shop, Jim was a good
workman, but 1 had to get rid of him.
He was too absent-minded and forget
full. One old fellow, with a head like a
billiard-ball, he never failed to ask if
he didn't want a shampoo. Another
bald-headed old chap got mad because
Jim insisted upon selling him a bottle
of Elixir that was warranted to keep
the hair from falling out. He cut one
mans ear nearly off while watching a
dog fight in the street. Jim didn't
mean nothin' wrong, but as l said he
was absent-minded. When old Deacon
Jones died, the family sent for a barber
to shave him, an 1 told Jim to go up.
1t was that job that lost him his situa-
ton. He did the work all right, no.
body ever found fault with Jim's work,
but when he had put on the finishing
touches an pulled the towel off the
poor old deacon, he turned round and
and shouted Next SO that the people
heard him a block away. So 1 told
Jim that I guessed I'd have to let him
go."-NeW York San.

Feeding Chickens for Market.

Much profit is missed by feeding
young chickens too long. The early
broods should now be ready for feed
ing. 1t is better to have them already
fed, for then the cockereis will be
ready for sale, and the pullets so far
forward as to be ready to begin laying
early in the fall. But if the chickens
have not been fully fed, the cockerels
should be separated now and the old
cocks turned in with them. AT any
rate the cocks should be separated
from the hens at once, as they are u
worry and a nuisance to the hens, and
more eggs will be laid without them
than with them. Probably no more
hens will set, but as the eggs will be
good for two weeks after the separ-
alton, this may be made at once. They
will bring more now than at amy time
later. An excellent feed for them is
corn-meal, mixed with boiling hot
sweet skinned milk This gives the
flesh a fine flavor and a white and
clear appearance, which adds to the
market value. The feeding should not
be continued W. two weeks, and if
the fowls have had all rtheywilt eat,
they will be as fat as they can be made.
Longer feeding will not add to their
weight, as it is apt TO produce dis
ease

A Country without Theater or Circus,

Everybody on the island of Malts
works and slaves at least sixteen hours
a day, and he is fortunate, indeed, who
counts his weekly stipend at a dollar
and a half. There never has been a
theatre or a circus or a secular holiday
in Malta, and the popular amusement
is confined to feast days, when the PEG
pie congregate in one place and make
themselves sick on pink candy. In the
evening, when the hot, blistering sun
goes down, you a go up to the basin,
where the sea leaves a placid pool in
the rocks and indulge in the giddy dis
sipations of a bath. You can live there
in splendor for five dollars a week, but
at the end of four years you won't know
whether you are a catmaran or blind
fish, Washington Republican.

The great point to be secmred in stack
ing hay is, to keep the center the high
est. II this is done, water cannot
penetrate into the stack. but will find
Its way to the outside under the most
un~favorable circumstances. If on the
other hand the center is hollow, the
water must drain into the center, and
so ruin the stack. An excellent way
to build a stack is to set a small sap
ling firmly in the ground, with a foun-
dation of rails around it,; then begin
at the center, and place the hay about
the pole, gradually spreading, until
the edge of the base is reached. Con-
tinue building up the stack, the high
est in the center around the pole, the
builder standing in the center SO as TO
tread the hay firmly there. AS the
stack settles, the outside sinks more
than the center, and helps to make the
stack better. The top of the stack is
finished by fastening a covering of hay
70 the pole, with hay bands wound
firmly around it. A stack so made
will not leak, and even clover hay may

1t is the manner of disposing of

all cases, but especially Is this true in
regard to early potatoes. 70 get the
best price, these must be in the mar
ket as soon as possible; "a week will
give one All opportunity of disposing
of a whole crop before a,competitor
can bring in his produce and the
prices fall. New potatoes are easily
damaged; the skin slips readily, and
this spoils their appearance, and of
curse their value. The use of a con-
v~enient package for the potatoes, in
which they can be handled and car
ried to the consumer, brings them to
him in the incest possible shape. Pur-
chasers like to see neat, clean pack

Lambs are subject to a parasitic dis
EeaSe which is always fatal to them if
neglected. 1t is known among shep-
herds by the suggestive names OF
"pining" and ''paper-skin," and by
veterinarians as ''anemia," or want
of blood. 1t is caused by a thread
worn, which exists in the lungs and
air passages, and interferes so much
With the breathing as to prevent the
due aeratlon of the blood, and the
necessary supply of this vital fluid.
The consequence is, that the red glob-
ules of the blood are lacking; the
blood is pale, and the growth of tine
animal is arrested. The skin appears
white and thin, like paper, and the
y5Ang creatures are weak, and pine
away gradually for want of adequate
nutrition, and finally die. A similar
parasite produces the disease in calves,
known as ''husk," or choose and
another causes ''gapes" in young
chickens. 1t affects lambs that Craze
inPasturos with old sheep; calves are
troubled which are fed with the COW,
or upon hay from fields where older
animals are %pastured; and young
chicks which run upon the ground
1ouled by the hens, are apt to get the
.gapes. To prevent it, tits chief cause
lis to be avoided, while to cure 1t, the
usual and effective remedy is to give
small, repeated doses of turpentine.
The following mixture is recommend
led: To one ounce of molasses, or In
seed oil, add one-fourth of an ounce
'of spirits of %turpentine; shake well
together, and give n teaspoonful to
each lamb, early in the morning. For
q calf, n tablespoonful should be
given, an hour before feeding in the
nS6rning; and one drop may be given
30 a small chicken. The remedy
Should be repeated for a week or ten
as it is necessary that a sufficient
quantity of the %Alrpentine should be
given to secure its escape through the
Lungs of the animal by exhalation.
