Farm and Garden Notes.

A fair supply of meat for the hens will add to the yield of eggs and will prevent feather eating.
 No breed of hens is ''everlasting layers" A hen that will lay 1e0 to 200 eggs year is first-class.
 In sowing timothy with wheat and other grains the best results are obtained by having the ground dragged and rolled first.
 Don't forget that all fowls are without teeth and must be supplied with sand and gravel in order to carry on the work of grinding the food
 A putrid carcass polluting the air of a pasture will spoil not only the milk of the cows running there, but also the en- tire contents of the vat into which the tainted milk is poured at the factory.
 True potato seed is raised by planting the seed from the balls or fruit. Each plant will produce dozen or more tiny potatoes, which may be selected from and the specimens be developed by ! culture.
 A South Carolinian last summer bag ged 20, 900 punches of grapes in paper covers. The fruit was perfectly pro- tected from rot, and ripened perfectly. but it was too tender to be shipped long distances.
 A Connecticut farmer has several bush els of apples picked last fall in as sound and good condition as if just pluckcd. The fruit had been carefully rolled in paper. For choice varieties the hint may be worthy of attention. When pigs are allowed to sleep in damp places the result will often be stiff ness of the joints, rheumatism and dis cases of the spine, due to taking cold. Dryness and warmth are essential to the thrift of young pigs. especially on the approach of cold weather.
 The only truly economical manner o1 feeding stock, and from which the very best and most profitable returns are tc be expected, is to convert the grains into meal and feed only in such quantities tai regular intervals) as each animal has ca. pacity to consume and digest.
 Butter is largely an oil, which is so vel fixed that it is hardly susceptible te chemical change; therefore, the principal parts not belng subject to decomposition, we must look to the watery fluids which are contained in the milk, which, wher not completely extracted, spoil the butter and render it worthless, or to be branded only as grease.

The Drunkard,S Nose.

One of the most beautiful features of the face is shapely, fne-cut nose. Il this is deformed, the whole face is injured, however perfect otherwise. But bad nose is the portion of every habitual tip- pier. It takes on hated red (more in- tense as the years go on), becomes coarse , with pimples, or swells out with disgust ing and fvid protuberances-''toddy blossoms" in the apt and picturesque language of the common people. The tippler may try ever so hard to conceal his h.bits, but his nose is an emblazoned signal, proclaming the fact to every new comer
 The explanation is this: The alcohol increases the action of the heart and ar *eries about one-ffth, thus driving th' i blood to the surface faster than the veins can bring it back. Hence the countless capillaries, whose minuteness makes them normally invisible, are distended with impure blood, are kept in state of per- manent congestion, and give rise to pim ples and blotches.
 But the nose is not alone in dishcnor and suffering. Every organ of the body is in similar condition. The head there fore aches; the sleep is disturbed; the ap- petite is poor; the liver is disordered; the tongue is coated; the throat is dry; the heart has spells of palpitation; the back and limbs suffer frequent pains; and the lungs become infamed from the slightest exposure. This is not mere deformity, nor simply prominent sign of degrad- : ing habit; it is a note of warning to its possessor that his whole system is dis. eased, end is getting ready for the drunk. ards grave.
 ! Says the Medical Reporter, Ut is a medical fact that as the influence of alco- hol reddens the dram drinkers nose, and changes it's appearance, so it reddens and changes the appearance of every organ of the body; and as the nose thus affected is not in natural or healthy condition, so every organ of his body is changed from a natural and healthy condition to an ua natural and diseased condition; and as the skin of the nose takes on unhealthy action, so the substance and covering o1 the internal organs take on diseased ac- tion, N ich results in the full develop ment of incurable diseases, such as insan- ity, diseases of the heart, Bright's disease of the kidneys, hobnail liver, and slow inflammation of the stomach. All these diseases exist at the same time in the dram-drinker. but the organ most dls- eased is apt to take the lead in the pro- cess of morbid action. "- Youths Com- | 1,anion

Berries on the Farm.

Many of those who own farms or gnr. dens and might, by little care, and at small expense, have continuous supply of berries of different kinds on their tables, during the eunimer and fall, and thus edd much to the comfort and health of their families, too often have none, except the meagre supply which are found growing wild, In fact, many such do not fare as we'll in this respect as the fam flies of many laboring men in our towns and villages. A family supply of straw. berries, especially, may be grown on so small Il plot of ground. that any land owner, certainly, cannot have any excuse for not being supplied with them in their season, for want of room. Planted in the spring, in rows three feet apart, with plants one foot in the row, and then left to form a matted row fifteen to eighteen inches in width, and given clean culture, good crop may reasonably be expected the following year.-American Rural Home.

SeasOna ble Duties of Eafmers.


 Those who have families of children should interest themselves in the district school, and see that it is we'll taught and sustained. No farmer who is parent can afford to neglect his duty in this mat ter, and should manifest lively interest in the school where his own and neigh bors' children receive their rudimentary, if not principal, education. Able school trustees and commissioners, with capable and efficient teachers, are important requisites, and it is the incumbent duty of every parent to aid in securing these desirable auxiliaries to public and home education. To this end, attend the school meeting, vote for the best men for school trustees, and aid in making ib- eral provision for first-class school in your district And do not fail to visit the same occasionally, and encourage the teacher. In this and other ways you can do much to improve the school, and every judicious effort in that direction will rebound to the benefit of all inter- ested-parents, pupils and teachers. Good officers and teachers can best be se- cured through the personal attention and influence of parents who manifest lively interest in their selection and manage ment. Furthermore, provide your family with pure and useful books and periodi- calls. Money invested in reading matter of the right quality pays large dividends. The rule should be to "get the best,"- only such publications as are instructive, useful and elevating. Avoid all trashy story papers, and other reading of a senseless and sensational character-ot the nickel novel and love- and murder genera. They are demoraliziug, and worse than poison for young people. In stead of such useless trash, secure stand ard works pertaining to rural and domes i tic affairs, as we'll as history, science and literature Agriculturist.
