Hints to Marshal KauIukou.

ED. P. G. ADvERTIsER-Sir The new
broom of Marshal Kaulukou is daisy
and sweeps clean, and if he will exercise
it a little on some of the sidewalks which
are impossible on account of "show
goods" he will confer favor on pedes-
TRANS. As there is a law to prevent the
obstruction of sidewalks, which has
never been enforced, this is a good time
to do it, and instruct the police to keep
doing it. Another great wrong is being
daily done in granting licenses to mex
perienced men, particularly Chinese.
Any one can procure license to drive,
on application, when if an examination
was had, it would be found that the APP
plicant could not drive a nail. Start up
the broom, Marshal. Yours, etc. Q.

Preparation of Soil.

Proper preparation of the soil to fit it
for crop involves variety of processes,
the most important of which are the
loosening of the soil by ploughing or
digging, and the communion or pulver'
izing of it to allow the roots easily to run
through it and to take up their nutriment
from it. Subsoil ploughing is a most
necessary operation whenever the subsoil
is heavy and retentive. Vegetables and
fruits, as much as the grain crops, require
deep working Of the soil. A moderately
heavy soil that has been under-drained
and subsoiled, and then carefully worked,
is capable of producing the heaviest
crops. A deep, rich soil is wonderfully
favorable to q bank account. All the
processes in the preparation of piece OF
land for crop require good tools, and in
their purchase the aim should be to get
the best. A good tool will quickly pay
for itself, but a poor one is very expensive
A man must be we'll off who can afford
to use poor tools. While good plough
will do better work than poor one, it
also enables the team 10 do more of it.
Tools and implements should not only be
of the best kinds, but they should be
carefully kept in order, and be clean and
bright, and be stored in proper place
where they can always be found when

A Poultry Farm.

There is a poultry farm of 5000
Plymouth Rocks at Lancaster, Mass.
Mr.. Hawkins, its owner, calculates to
have about 5000 fowls every fall, and
carries over $500 laying hens through
the winter. His farm contains twenty
five acres, and his poultry buildings
occupy an acre and half. These COM
prise six or seven sheds 200 feet in length.
Each she'd is divided into apartments OF
twelve by twenty feet, and about twenty
FIVE hens are kept in each division. a
yard is made in front of each apartment.
Mr.. H. believes that if confined poultry
have their wants attended to they will
do as veil as if allowed free range. He
bases this belief upon several actual
tests, In Matching time he sets 200 hens
on one day, and puts 500 eggs in an in
cubator which is due to hatch on the
same day, the chickens from which will
be distributed among the 200 hens. His
sales of fowl and eggs for Matching at
fancy prices are large, about 90 per cent.
boing profit. He also has standing
order for sixty to ninety dozen of eggs
daily, for which he gets the highest mar
ket price. Mr.. Hawkins began, at the
age of 2l, with 100 hens, and by careful
management and economy his business
has enlarged 80 that, at the age of 29, he
has a very handsome income. The
poultry manure is quite an item; be
sold last year 500 barrels, at S1.5O per
barrel.

Fruit In the Southern States.

A vast opening lies ready for enterpris'

Peaches grow with surprising rapidity,
and the fruit is Of the finest quality. A

famous Irish leader, Charles S. Parnell,
has peach plantation in Georgia of
10000 trees, from, which he has shipped
in one year $1,000 worth of fruit. His
markets are New York, Philadelphia and
Cincinnati. His earliest shipment to

The Acme Harrow.

One of the best Of inventions for the
fa:mer's use is an Acme harrow. 1t
both pulyerizes and levels the soil. A
good workman does not merely smooth
over the top of the ground with his har-
row, breaking only the surface clods. He
sets the harrow teeth we'll down into the
ground and breaks the clods aad Jumps
all the way to the bottom Of the furrow.
An intelligent farmer writes Of the Acme
"It is not only a harrow, but under GER
tain conditions of the soil it is to all in
tents and purposes gang of small plows.
In soft or light soil you can plow the
ground just as thoroughly for six feet
wide as you can do it with the ordinary
plow. eight inches"
Another farmer says: "After plowing,
the soil is worked over with the Acme
harrow, and is thoroughly broken up ;
the farrows are leveled, the whole soil to
the depth Of four inches at least is dis
turbed as though q series of small pro-
peller screws passed through it; it is
thoroughly mingled; the upper portion,
which has been exposed to the air, is
turned under and buried, and the whole
soil is loosened up, broken and made
mellow. This is the only implement, so
far as know, that does this necessary
work, and with this the best preparation
for crops is easily possible"
The depth of the teeth of this tool can
be regulated at will, which makes it first
class for working in manure. The teeth
are set in at such an inclination that
after sod has been plowed up they cut it
to pieces and leave it, instead of drag
ging it. Crozier says that man cannot
harrow more than four to five acres 8
day and do it thoroughly.

Reasons Why the Baby Cries.

The young bachelor who volunteered
an opinion as to the reason for baby's
smile, and the summary justice which he
received at the hands Of the baby's nurse,
are we'll known, but why the baby cries
is matter as to which few men have
any curiosity, provided it is not too late
to have an engagement down town when
the concert begins. The Mothers
Manual of Children's Diseases" explains
the matter thus: "a
Series are the only language which 8
young baby has to express its distress; as
smiles and laughter and merry antics tell
without word its gladness. The baby
must be ill, is all that its cries tell one
person; another, who has seen much Of
sick children, will gather from them
more, and will be able to judge whether
its suffering is in the head, or stomach.
The cries Of q baby with the stomach ache
are long and loud and passionate it
sheds profusion of tears now stops for
moment, and then begins again,
drawing up its legs TO its stomach; and
as the pain passes off stretches them out
again, and with many little sobs passes
off into quiet sleep. If it has infam.
nation of the chest, it does not cry aloud,
it sheds no tears, but every fe minutes,
especially after drawing deeper breath
than before, or after each short, hacking
cough it gives little cry, which it checks
apparently before it is half finished, and
this, either because it has no breath to
waste in cries, or because the effort makes
its breathing more painful. If disease'is-
going on in the head the child utters
sharp, piercing sbrieks, and then between
whiles low moan or wall, or perhaps
no sound at all, but lies quiet, apparently
doing, till pain wakes it up again. ~ ::

- The example of the London and

Already wooden crossties are becoming
scarce in many sections, and as they
have to be frequently replaced they are
very expensive. The substitution of
metal ties would give great stimulus to
the iron trade; but care should be taken
so to revise the tariff that manufacturers

Dishorning Calves.

In the genus Bos, the horn proper is a
hollow appendage Of tbeiskin, and in the
young calf this is merely the matrix of
the future horn. At the.age of 10 to Is
days, this matrix is but small, movable
prominence, which may be removed by
one sweep Of a strong pocketknife.5 This
operation causes but little pain, and
soreness for only a day 6r SO. The calf
is not injured or stunted, and the wound
heals more quickly.thsu those caused by
castrating. Its probable that this plan
will be quite as painless as the more
common process of soaring the young
horn with q hot iron. In either case,
there is apt to be small bunch or horn
at the side of the head. Where this
practice is continued for several genera
tions, the horn often entirely disappears.
aud, in many instances, polled calves are
produced. But do not attempt the pro-
cess with grown cattle.

Raising Onions.

Ofthe many kinds of onion seed
sown, I consider the red globe best, both
in regard to productiveness and keeping
qualities. Next to that comes the yellow
danvers. I have planted three kinds of
red onion seed at the same date, and they
matured as follows: Early cracker red,
August 5 to IL; wethersdeld red, August
20; red globe, August 80 to September g..
Potatoe onions are easy to raise and
bring good return for the outlay. Phil
adslphia sets also do we'll, thoug it is
rather more work to plant them than
potato onions, as they are smaller.
Small red sets, from early red onions,
ripen about week earlier than the first
ones from seed.
One man can take care of about three
acres of land, if he attends to his busi-
ness. Ny brother and myself had seven
acres of land on Long Island, in 1862,
which yielded 5000 bushels of the best
onions ever saw.-Ncks Magazine.

Water can not satisfy the thirst which
attends cholera, dysentery, diarrhea and

drinking cold water seems to increase the
thirst and induce other disagreeable
