RURAL AND DOMESTIC
BREVITIES.

One spoonful of coal tar to a peck
of seed corn will prevent COWS from
pulling up the corn.
All experience goes to show that
the farmer who has smooth land
which can be cultivated by horse
power, and neglects TO raise root
crop, fails to live up to his priv
ileges.
Bisulphide of carbon is, in the
opinion of M. Pasteur, the most
efficacious of antiseptics. 1t is also
the cheapest, and, though offensive
in point of odor, is capable of COM
plete publication. Large quantities
are used to prevent the ravages of
phylloxera.
In good crop of corn not plant
ed too thickly the weight of grain
and cob will exceed that of fodder
when both are dry. In drilled corn
the reverse of this, is true, mainly
because corn in drills is usually too
thick and there is too large proper
ton of stalks without ears.
Most crops, excepting clover, de-
rive their food mainly from the frs
five or six inches in depth of tn
soil. If we can keep the surfac
fertile nothing more is needed. Pull
verifying the subsoil by the subsol
pillow is useful mainly to enable it t.
hold more moisture and to open S
that the roots may go down in scare
of it.

shred it up finely as possible, then
secure it above or beside the nest.
Bits of feathers and soft linen ravel-
lings form good materials to line the
nest with.
In seven or eight days after mat
ing commences, the nest is finished
and the first egg laid. The female
bird usually lays one egg every day
until she has laid her full number,
which is four or seven; then she be-
gins to sit, and for thirteen days. the
little creature that is usually so &C
tive and restless sits almost motion
less, her loving little heart throbbing
against the eggs, and her feathers
and life-heat warming them iuto ex-
istence. Now it will repay you to
sit silently in an out of the way cor
ner and watch how tenderly her mate
feeds her, how loving he is, and how
willingly he takes her place on the
nest while she stretches her wings
and limbs.
If all goes we'll, and they are not
disturbed, at the end of thirteen days
the first laid egg is Matched, and so
on each day one egg is Matched, I'M
til the whole brood of naked blind
little brides lies helplessly in the
nest. Now you may take look in,
just to see if all the eggs are hatch
ed. If not, take the one not Matched
out with a strong light; If veins
show against the shell, it may hatch
yet, and can be returned to the nest,
but If it is transparent, it is spoiled,
and may be thrown away.
The birds want to be and must be
let alone now until the little ones are
feathered, although you must keep
a sharp lookout from a distance to
see that they all right, and that they
do not wiggle out of the nest, and
that all the family and friends do
not run for peep at the new birds.

kept looking at them and showing
them to every one, and the conse-
quence was that the father, evidently
with the mothers consent, killed the
whole nestful. A friend had to
raise her first brood herself, because
the father and mother left them when
troubled by people peering into the
nest. She used a quill for the pur-
pose, splitting it and placing the
cracker and egg IN it, she gave each
bird three or four quillfuls at time,
feeding them once an hour.

STIMULANT FOR POULTRY.

Poultry in domestication are not
in "a natural condition. Their diet
is more or less restricted in variety,
and that which they have frequently
of a character to fatten rather than
to promote growth or egg-laying.
This may be in measure counter
acted by continental food or slim
ulants. Before such measures are
taken the poultry raiser should pro-
vide everything else necessary or de-
sirable-grain in variety, broken
bones, oyster shells or other form of
lime. green food of some kind, cab
bage or roots, gravel, and dry
busting box. Besides pure water
and if milk or butter-m milk can be
had, a trough for that should be pro-
vided.
Stimulants must be regarded not
as food but as medicine, used SPAR
ingly, and never daily. One mess
of stimulating food once in two OF
three days is enough.
Charcoal Is with us a standby,
we think it defends against disease,
keeps up the tone of the system, aids
digestion, and promotes laying. We
feed it powdered, and mix up with
wheat bran and Indian meal. Into
this mixture, we find heaping ia.

TOBACCO.

Tobacco is filthy weed; it was

touch it, no indeed, [ WON'T said
little Robert Reed, the incest boy
you ever seed. Whate're you told
him, that he deed. He never once
was whipped for greed; to precepts
good he gave good heed, nor longed
for what he did not need, and always
let his elders lead. Few boys there
are of Roberts breed, else longer l
had made my screed; but now for
rhymes I'm fairly freed. But what
L was going to say was this: A
writer who is driving tobacco smok-
ing out of this land says, "Men do
not need tobacco. Look at woman
Without speaking a word, she in her
own life proves that smoking is I'M
necessary, that people can live we'll
and happily without it. Look at
that woman and throw away that
that cigar forever Now that is the
trouble with some good people. They
always overdo their arguments.
Tell me, does the average American
women owe her health to abstinence
from smoking? If she does, then in
Heavens name let her buy pipe
and pound of tobacco and learn
to smoke. Any change in the health
of the American woman, it seems to
me, would be for the better. Do the
women of America enjoy better
| health than the men? 1t seems to
me that the anti-smoker was unfor-
nate in his selection of an example.
Do the men fade out at thirty-fve,
and look old at forty, and fizzle and
clear away at fifty? Go to. Give us
better arguments against the cigar
than this, or the wooden Indian will
continue to do a rushing business at
the same old stand.-R. j. Burdctte.

CONCERNING FERTILIZERS.

Prof. Caldwell of Cornell Univers-
ity some time since made suggestive
address on fertilizers, before the
Massachusetts Horticultural society
in Boston. In conclusion he sum-
married. his doctrine on the subject
as follows:
l. That if enough of the needed
| elements of food of the gardener or
horticulturist's crops cannot be OBJ
tanned in stable manure or other an
imal waste,i can be produced in the
trade in unlimited quantity and in ev-
cry degree of availability depending
on different grades of solubility, and
in the greatest variety of mixtures,
to suit any whim or fancy of crop or
crop growers.
2. That profitable crop-growlng can
be carried on for at least many years
with these commercial fertilizers
alone.
3. That the most evident distinc-
ton between stable manure and COM
mercial fertilizers, and the distinction
upon which we should therefore base
an explanation of the greater RELIABLE
ity of the former, is its arge proper
ton of vegetable matter, or humus-
forming material, of which CONNER
cial fertilizers contain practically
none.
4. That soils contain III a difficult
soluble condition, and therefore not
easily fed upon by the crop, all the
needed elements of plant food.
5. That humus, by the decay it
suffers in the soil, furnishes carbonic
acid and other solvent agents, and
this carbonic acid appears to play an
important part in the nourishment of
crops, by bringing this native insolu-
BILE stock of plant food within their
easy reach.
6. That even if we add water
soluble plant food to the soil, it be-
comes largely insoluble before the
crop can feed upon or needs it
therefore soluble plant food added tc
the soil in commercial fertilizers also
needs the help of the humus finally
for it's solution.
Z. The plant food, in most ami
NAL and vegetable residues used as
manures, costs much less than in
commercial manure.
s. That in spite of the disadvan
tages that under some conditions at
tend the use of commercial fertilizers
they are nevertheless very importan
and necessary help in crop-growing
8. That in using these fertilizers
the wisest course appears to be tt
make ones own mixtures of the raw
material, as we'll for securing a bette
manure as for economy in the frs
cost.
