IF you want to get the goodwill Of
your hens, says the Prairie Farmer, feed
them dry, hot corn at night. Heat the
corn in an iron pan or kettle in the
oven. and stir occasionally. No matter
if it gets little charred. It won't do
any harm to give warm water, either.
Stuffed Potatoes: Miuce some cold
meat very fine and season it to taste.
Choose large potatoes of one size and
peel and core them, taking care not to
core them through. Fill them with the
minced meat and put them in a dish to
bake, with cupful of water and a little
butter or nice beef dripping. If the po-
tatoes are large they will require an
hour to bake; if small, half that time
will be Standardization Globe.
Mr.. J. j. H. Gregory makes the
statement that the corn plant has the
power of getting its nitrogen from the
air. We have, therefore, but to supply
potash and phosphate to the soil. For
three years the experiment has been
tried upon the poOr-soil plots of the
Rural grounds. No matter how large
the quantity of potash and phosphoric
acid used, we can not get good crop
without nitrogen.-RuraI NeO Yorker

TO improper attention to the common

that are so closely connected with the
successful working of the farm as
suredly deserve better care and atten-
ton than is usually given them. The
humane man will therefore sec that they
have light, roomy, well-vcntilated
stables, where disease will be far less

GRAPE MlLDEW.
EGeCtual Remedies for the Treatment Of
Two Vine Diseases.

AWo hiue Oiseases'
Prof. Riley furnishes the results of
some of the Investigations which have
been made for destroying grape mil
dew. After pointing out the difference
between the two most common forms
Of mildew, which require unlike treat
ment, he gives the following remedy
which promises success in the treat
ment of the downy mildew (PerOnoS-
poraJ, which usually shows itself on
the under side of the leaves in the form
of a small patch of whitish down, the
tissues aftcrward becoming scorched
and turning brown as if sun-burnt. The
under side is finely sprayed with the
ordinary milk-kerosene emulsion in
connection with two to five per cent.
of carbolic acid and the same quantity
of glycerinc, diluted with from twenty
to fifty parts of water to one of the
emulsions. But more etfectual rene
dy is Stacked lime and sulphate of cop
per, applied in June. This preparation
is made by dissolving a pound of sui
phate of copper in gallon of water
Then, in separate vessel, apply
quart or little more ofA water to two
pounds of unslacked lime, and mix the
contents of the two vessels together,
making a blush thin paste. Mix
thoroughly, and apply lightly to the
leaves-not the fruit-with a small
broom. Sulphur for this form of mill
dew has proved failure. 1t is devcl-
oped most in wet weather.
The other form, or powdery mildew,
dourishes most in dry weather. 1t is ex-
hibited chiefly on the upper side of the
leaf. producing white powdery APP
pearancc, which is much less conspic
Gus on the lower surface. This form is
less injurious to our native grapes than
to the European grape and its hybrids.
Sulphur is the most efficient remedy,
and Prof. Riley indorses the mode
adopted by William Saunders, of w ash
ington, who uses a weak solution OF
lime and sulphur obtained by pouring
water on lump lime, and adding one
fourth as much sulphur. This is
sprayed on the vines. The powdery
mildew is the Upcintla SpiraliS, and in
its conidial form it is known as Oidiuni
tuckeri. Country Gentleman.

no harm by casting your lot on the side
Of temperance, and you may do much
good. II is encouraging to know Of
every sister who wants to add her
strength to the cause which happily will
rid our land some day OF ruined men and
broken families" Mrs. Cleveland could
hardly have said less. No Intelligent,
conscientious man or woman denies that

OF this country. There is not good

Lesson Of tho Galveston storm.

Dalas Herald,
There is no denying the fact that the
repeated windstorms and overhows at
Galveston will have an injurious effect
on the growth OF that city. Two or three
storms year, that come almost as regu.
larry as the seasons, may be regarded
lightly by people who are accustomed to
that sort of weather, but outsiders will
manifest no general disposition to rush
into such place. The Galveston News
may regard the destruction Of $3.50, 900
worth of property and the loss OF
three lives as doing 'fgood in
one very suggestive demonstration, -
but to disinterested spectators
the only thing 1t demonstrates is
that no one but millionaire, who can 90
down and rest the foundation of house
on China, can hope to build one that win
stand the periodical storms Of the island
