Home and Farm,
Apple Orchards Needed.

1t is becoming more and more evil
dent, year by year, that an apple FAM
iue IS imminent, except in localities
where orcharding is made a special
business. No fruit IN the garden or on
the farm can so lily be spared as the
apple. 1t is the most indispensable OF
fruits. Without apples, we as a peo-
pie, would be like ship at sea, with
out rudder or compass. The old
oTchards..are..u undergoing rapid process
of destruction, and but comparatively
few young trees are beng planted.
The cause which leads to the destruc-
ton OF apple orchards are various. BE
they what they may. it is time to be-
gin the proper preparation of the land
and the setting out of young ORCH
ard on nearly every farm. The prac-
tice of manuring for one crop, and
taking off two, one of grain and one of
fruit, must be stopped. We must
keep better posted in regard 10 the
causes which have let to the rapid and
alarming deterioration of our apple
orchards. We ought to make begin
ming IN this direction the present
spring. 1t is duty which should not
be neglected. The use of fruit is in
creasing. There is money iu growing
more OF it.

Poultry Department.
Using Kerosene III the Fowl
House

We have advocated in the pages of
The AMERICAN PouLTRY YARD, not
infrequently, the use of kerosene for
destroying lice on the fowl roosts, and
have advised the application of this
pungent oil occasionly, with a mix
tnre of lard, to be used upon adult
fowls-under the wings and at the back
Of the !; ck--tor similar purpose;
while. at the same time, we know that
It's use in removing the scales upon
the legs of old fowls Is an excellent
remedy for that unsightly affection SO
often complained of Ivy poulty-
breeders.
But we have always intended to COM
mend due caution in the use of this
powerful insect destroying agent, mas
much as, though it is an admirable
thing if judiciously used. it is over
hurtful if not properly applied, and in
moderate quantity.
At this season OF the year, for exam
pie, when We are desirous TO have the
eggs hatch well, little or no kerosene
should be made use OF where the lay
ing and broodIng-hens come in oon-
tact with 1t. In hot weather, when YER
min generate rapidly and numerously
both upon the bodies of fowls and in
their roostine places, it is well to apply
it freely; but during cold weather it IS
not necessary; and when hens are lay
ing or Matching, the less kerosene used
that may reaeh tie egge we viM TO
hatfh-either in the laying or sittin g.
nests-the better.
The penetrating qualities. of this
crude oil are SO strong, and the de-
struction to insect-life (where it comes
IN contact with these parasites) is so
certain, it is but reasonable to under
stand that its fumes wnen allowed to
reach the porous shell OF eggs, may
injure their yolks, or even destroying
their vitality, oftentilnes.-PO Poultry
Yard.
Carelessness is the true cause of a
great many of our misfortunes. 1t
was careleSsnesS, according to the ad-
mission of Stephen w. Reynolds, of
Co!dwater, Michigan, that brought on
severe attack of collie. The pain
was intensely acute he writes. II
was cured in two hours by Mishler' S
Herb BltterS. This great household
remedy never fails when used as di-
rected for collie, cramp, pain in the
stomach, oysentery, dlarrhea, indiges.
ton, or kidney and liver disorders.

To Keep Water From Under Stacks

have followed practice, when.
ever necessary to stack hay directly
upon the ground, which I have never
seen in print, but which it seems to me
is well worth knowing, and which
am satisfied saves me annually from
considerable loss of hay occasioned by
water running under the stacks. l
mark out on the ground the size of the
proposed stack, and then | dig up
enough earth from the inside to make
bank all around the mark | have
made, say four inches high and foot
wide. 1t takes but very little earth or
labor to do it. l let the edges of the
stack rest on this bank of earth, so as
to keep it in place and consolidate it.
If the ground is perfectly level l make
this bank clear around but if there is
a good slope on one side then only on
the upper side. l have found this
plan TO be certain and effective in
keeping the water from getting under
the stacks. Before 1t can soak through
these slight banks or rise over them it
will find some other outlet J. p. S.

Feed ing Corn TO Young Chickens.

his bins (before shelling) the ears thai

SO digestlble for young stock.
To say nothing of the extra trouble
this causes, we suggest that broken OF
cracked" corn, siftei from the COM

purpose, and that more than half the
food given to young chickens should

the other half is much the most eco
nomical.

passengers by cholera, although freely

prescription of his own-one teaspoon
ful of red pepper and tablespoonful
of salt to a half pint of boiling water
this to be given as hot as possible, to
every patient when first taken. 1t is
said that this simple remedy acted as
a charm, curing all the cases on board
that ship, and attaining considerable
general popularity during the time of
that cnoIera visitation.-Saeahft
