topics OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Big Root in Cabbages.

There are two kinds of big root, or
club foot, common to both cabbages and
turnips. One is the result of the attacks
of insects and the other of fungus.
Both, however, may be prevented by the
free use of lime, salt, ashes and SCOT.
The lime and salt should be applied to
the land where the cabbages are to be
grown, and the ashes and SCOT to the seed
bed at the time of sowing the seed. The
simplest way to secure the direct effect
of ashes is to prepare the seed bed early
in spring; then cover it with straw,
brush, or any similar m :terial that will
burn readily; then set it on fire, and
when it is all consumed rake over:the
surface, mixing the ashes and coal with
the soil, and sow the seed even while
the bed is still warm. Plants raised
under such conditions will generally be
free from disease and the eggs of insects.
Apply twenty-five bushels of lime and
six bushels of salt per acre to the land
where the cabbages are to be grown, and
this will usually prevent club loot or big
root, provided the plants have oeen
raised in beds prepared as directed

A Jockeys Life.

There are people who imagine that a
Jockeys life is a joyous life; that earth
can offer few greater delights than to
ride the winner of great race and to be
led back to the scales by an ecstatic
crowd, and that the sole drawback to
the profession, is the chance of being
asked to pay income tax on e10, 600 a
year. But how utterly untrue is such
an opinion is we'll known by the racing
correspondent of the New South Wales
Ech9, who saw Archer's face at the
Derby, and thus describes it: sit was
like that of man about to be hanged-a
duelist fighting with foe at once feared
and hated-a man, in short, in any posi-
ton of awful strain, with the complex
emotions of terror, hope and resolve. 1t
was all the observation of a second; but
it brought home to the mind the abysmal
depths of life and death, exultant Joy or
horrible despair that underlic the gayety
and the blare, the bright dresses, the
smiling women, the popping of cham.
paene bottles, and the vacuous noise OF
Epsom race course" After this there
would seem to be nothing for it but to
start Jockeys rescue society.-L'ndon
Pail 1faN Gazette.

Chicken Cholera.

Inexpert poultry keepers often wonder
how it is that their young chicks die of
so rapidly with the prevalent supposed
diarrhea, by which they pine away from
birth and perish miserably by whole
b:oods. Frequent complaints and in
quiries are made by readers as to the
cause of this prevailing disorder, by
which the chicks seem to be covered
with an adherent yellow excrement which
closes the bowels. This disease is no
more or less than common poultry chol-
era, which is inherited. That this is the
cause has been often proved by careful
observation by the writer for few years
past. The present season the proof has
been verified by the strictest tests. Eggs
laid by hens having all the symptoms of
cholera, and kept by themselves, have
been set under healthy hens. From the
first :he chicks have been subject to the
yellow adherent discharge, and have all
died within week or ten days. More
over, such eggs swallowed raw or lightly
cooked have produced diarrhea. This
fact has been carefully noted by repeated
cApelluCuLS. IL 10 Ny hO thSoLo oeiSeS1
ing an inference to be sure that these eggs
are diseased.
A specific cure-if there is any such
thing-seems to be available for poultry
cholera in the use of hypo-sulphite of
soda. This is most active antiseptic
and quickly destroys germs of septic
virus and fermentation. Mixed with
yeast it kills the plants, whose growth
in starchy or nitrogenous solutions pro
duce fermentation and putrefaction. 1t
arrests the fermentation of saccharine
solutions and prevents the formation of
acid in such liquids as cider or in pre-,
served fruits 1t destroys bacteria, and
is therefore o useful remedy in all those
diseases of which the virus consists of
these low but active organisms. When
given in three-drop doses three or four
times daily of saturated solution to
chicks suffering from Inherited disease
through the eggs of diseased hens it
leads to recovery in few days. One
teaspoonful of the solution given as
often to a diseased hen in the first stages
of the disorder, and when the green and
yellow discharge and yellow checks first
appear, leads to cure in almost every
case.-Ne,o York Times.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Watermclons thrive best on re-, wlrD,
sandy loans.
Sorghum for fodder needs to be planted
and cultivated the same as corn.
Encourage toads in your hotbed and
garden. They will destroy more than
their weight in insect pests.
Drilled wheat requires much less seed
than when sown broadcast, and the seed
are planted at more uniform depth.
Corn sown for fodder as a second crop
will prove of value on any farm. Let
the rows run north and south when prac-
ticable.
Dust melon vines with paris green or
London purple to keep off the bug. Dust
with one part of the powder to twenty
five parts of flour.
A stick fattened at the end will be
found help in planting flower seeds:
Make shallow hole with the dat end OF
stick and scatter the seeds into it,
covering lightly.
Clean out all the rose bushes by taking
away the old wood and then shortening
the stronger shoots one third. The
growth and appearance will be greatly
Improved thereby.
Watch for the currant worm. and as
soon as the leaves appear ragged apply
white hcllebore-a tablespoonful to a pail
of watcr-by means of a syringe. Repeat
in about week.
An cntcrprising New Englander, Mr..
Colcord, has invented governor for
the silo, which is claimed as regulator
of the temperature, fermentation, and
quality of the ensilage stored.
Horses are not fully maturcd until six
years of age, nor do they arrive at their
full strength until eight years old. I'm
mature animals are often overtaxed and
their future usefulness injured.
To have beautiful bed of flowers try
Chinese pinks. They are of all colors,
and when bed of such pinks ;s made
by sowing seeds of all the varieties the
contrast of colors is very striking.
