DUST FOR HENs.-StOre away a
few bushels Of dry road dust for the
hens to dust in during the winter
advises a poultry fancier. Give
them enough of it and have it ell
tirely dry, 50 that they can "make
the dust fly all through the hen
house and cover the rOOst and ill
the cracks, and the lice must move
out. This does not sound quite so
nice as soapsnds, carbolio acid, ker-
osene, perfect cleanliness, etc, but
it is more practical and more likely
to be done on a farm where wash
ing hen rOOsts Is not the main bus
ine-s. Dust is also good to sprink-
le OH your stock, but should be
carded and brushed out Of the hair
after the vermin have left.

4 MAN WHO SUFFERED MENTAL AND
PHYSICAL AGONY EIGHT YEARS PRO-
CLAIMS HIS HAPPINESS.
Mental agony is dreadful, but when that
and physical ailment combine, il is simply
terrible. Such was the condition OF Geo
w. Frampton, Of Huntingdon, w. Va,
for eight years. lie was a sufferer Of ne
croses-that is, the leg bone at the ankle
was inAamed and mortified, which caused
running sores. lie says: "Pieces Of bone
the size Of silver three cent piece came
out Of the sores on my leg. The discharge
from the sores was almost continual, and
| was unable to walk. For eight years ]
have been doctoring. | had been under
the treatment Of a physician at Newport,
Ky, for a year; another at Burlington, o.,
attended me for three years and doctor
here at Huntington worked with me for
a long time. None Of them did me any
good, and they all finally said my case
was hopeless. A few months ago com
menced trying PKRUsA, and now ! am
well. l can walk as good as anybody,
and have perfect use OF my limbs"
Mr.. All. Lusk, Wooster, Ohio, writes:
"DR. HARTMAN, Columbus, o. have
been a great sufferer from that dreaded
disease, chronic catarrh Of the stomach.
| have thoroughly tried your MAsALIS,
and il has done me more good ten-iold
than all the doctors prescriptions, and l

Farm and Garden Notes.


The best temperature to keep ap-
pies is as near the freezing point
as possible without actual freezing.
A mans farm is a volume, every
acre Of which is a page bearing the
marks of his character, indicating
the degree Of mental and moral
culture to which he has attained.
The connection between good
grass and good butter is very close,
and it matters not how good a
breed Of cattle is used it is i'm
possible to make good butter with
poor pasturagc.
A good housekeeper has two
thorough house -cleanings every
year,one in the springand one in the
fall; a good farmer, two thorough
barnyard cleanings at about the
same time.
The last legislatures olcomar
garine law has been elective, says
the Massachusetts State board Of
health. Less of the stuff is sold
and much of that is dlstinctly
labeled as oleomargarine.
The United States imported
seeds this year to the value Of
about 81, 100000. 1t would seem
that a country tropical, and temper
ate, as is its climate, might raise
the seeds required for general
planting.
Drainage is not less valuable TO
the stOckraiser than to the grain
farmer. IL lcngthcns the season
both in the spring and fall, keeps
the soil from poaching, and allows
the cultivation Of the finer and
more nutritious grasses-three
most important considerations.
Tha Boston Calfrator thinks
that the Guernsey breed Of cattle
have been OveYsladOWed by the
greater popularity Of Jerseys, but
are well worthy Of equal attention,
and mat, giving as rich milk as
the Jersey, they yield a larger mess
and are considerably larger them
selves.
If manure is to be used i'm ;hc
orchard it should never be fresh, or
such as will quickly ferment. That
which has been thoroughly con.
posted, or well decomposed, is
best. Wood mold, mixed with lime
and ashes, has been found excel
lent, and the better the manure in
fineness of condition and freedom
from decomposing matter the less
liability Of tile trees to disease.
Burn all old rubbish, prunings,
etc, about the garden, vineyard
and berry patches. Loose materi-
ais lying about will afford a harbor
for insects, many Of which but for
this would freeze. Anent this, Mr.
Samuel Edwards, of Illinois, who
knows something about killing in
sects, says little kerosene applied
before lighting the fire is an ex.
oellent all IN burning damp brush
or other refuse.

llOGs.-DO rot allow the swine
to make their beds on the manure
heap. The heat which develops
there by the process of fermenta.
tiou is not wholesome for them nor
couducive to the making of good,
wholesome pork. For the sows
wlich are with pigs this excessive
heat is very injurious, and often a
cause of the loss of the whole litter
of pigs. They may be allowed to
root ia the manure heap during the
day, and even encouraged to do so
by The scattering of a little grain
among the manure, bat they should
have their bed Of dry straw, and
they will soon learn to prefer it to
any other place, if it is only dry
and sheltered from wind.

POTATO Rot.
Country Gcntleman. }

Five years ago, at the winter
meeting of the state board OF ag-
riculture, | heard a lecture on fun
gus by Professor lIalstead, Of New
York. After his lecture the cues
ton was asked him whether fun
gus on potato vines caused the 20.
tatoes to rot. His reply was that
it did and that the fungus was
first seen in yellow tint on the
leaves, caused usually Icy warm,
wet weather, the fungus soon
spreading from the leaves to the
tops or vines and then to the tubef;
and if the potatoes are dug and
put in cool, dry place before the
! fungus reached the tuber it would
save most of them, but If they
stood for any length Of time with
fungus on the tuber most Of them
would rot.
| have acted on his advice ever
since, and have had very few rotten
potatoes. Last year ] planted
something over an acre as early as
/ the ground would admit 10 was
MANFRED OH buckwheat stubblc the
| fall before and planted with three
sorts only. First. Early Rose;
second, White Star third, a round
pale red that Mr.. Tacott sent me
some years ago--a new seeding Of
his own propagatipg it was about
as large as a robins cgc and had
no name After a ycar or two it
matured, aud / called 1t Rome
Beauty, in honor of Mr. Talcoits
home
commenced TO dig the Early
Rose in August, aud pnt in a Gel
lar when the skin would peel con-
siderably. Mono Of them ever
rotted but for some cause did not
get to digging the lest until a httle
past the middle Of September, and
one fourth Of remainder OF Early
Rose, aud also White Star, were
rotten, with many black ones that
had to be left on the lot, and many
| turned black in the winter, so that
We had to eat those dag i'm August.
The Rome Beauty was dug last,
and there was not a rotten potato,
but they were quite scabby.
This year l have not had peck
of rotten potatoes in 900 bushels.
planted the Early Rose aud Rome
Beauty on very dry some OF it
sandy land. They yielded half a
crop of rather small, but no rotten
ones. These were planted early;
they began to set in 4 drouth SET
again after the rain, but were
small. About the first OF June |
planted a patch that was too Wet
to plant sooner. This WAS plarted
with White Star and Clark's No. Z,
which think are the same vaFie-
ty. There was no fungus on these
and the tops kept green until Octo-
Der, after one or two fIosts. Dag

not a dozen rotten ones i'm ninety

greatly disappointed. I expected
they would be so rotten as not 10
be worth digging but watched
them daily and saw that the fungus
was not on them, as on some of
our nelghbors, who had many rot

I shall continue to dig early, be
fore the fungus makes It's ap
