Fruit Culture.

strawberry plantation NAV be
made to almost double its crop, as al
80 one OF raspberries, by subsoil plow-
ing. In fact, if the soil is pretty we'll
run out, even heavy manuring will not
increase the crop much more than a
good thorough subsoiling. This
should be done with pillow that
loosens up, but does not throw up the
subsoil to the surface.
We advise cutting down peach trees
that show signs of the yellows, as the
only way to eradicate the disease.
Fifteen years experience has satisfied
us that 1T Is fungoid disease. If the
yellows once gets into q tree, it will
soon sweep over the orchard. The
fact that this disease is not known
south OF a certain line would Indicate
that the storms and changeable
weather OF the North may have some
thing to do with it.
Trees set in the fall get the benefit Of
early spring rains, and make a full
growth the first season. We have al
ways had the best success setting
grapes, raspberries, black berries and
currants in the fall, but not so with
Strawberries. In setting in the fall,
In case you do not care to mound

Our readers should be cautioned
against late working among raspber-

blackberry plants to replant. By so
doing the side roots are pulled off and
many will fail to grow. They should
be carefully dug and always to have a
piece OF the side root.
We have had the best success in
keeping grapes by wrapping each bunch
carefully IN q piece of paper and pack
ing all the boxes holding bushel or
so, and keeping in a room where the
temperature was not permitted to go
below 3O0 or So above zero. Our
old grandfather used to contend that
crooked, gnarly apple trees were the
sweetest bearers. Is there anything in
it, reader? If so, it must be because
the sap does not start quite so early,
and hence blossoms do not come out

frosts and cold northeast storms.
To raise seedlings, apple and other
seeds and pits must be carefully saved
and never dried in the sun, but kept
in cool, shady place. The best plan
is to get seed in the fsli crd miY with
sand and put in an exposed place during
the winter. In early spring SOW in drills.
If not thus kept, we have had good
luck pouring.boiling water over them
and allowing it to cool and stand for
two or three days. Then pour off the
water and mix seed with dry earth
and SOW as wanted.
Try two plans with the red raspber-
ries: One to cut back the plants to
about five feet in height, the other to
leave the fall growth and then bend
two hills together, fastening the tops
with stout string. The cutting back
should be done at once if at all. The
bending system may be carried out at
any time during the winter.-A. VI.

OiItne Boots and Shoes.

The efficacy of oiling depends much
upon the way in which it is done. In
the evening brush the shoe clean, and
then wash it with lukewarm water,
rather to moisten than to clean it.
Set it where it will dry slowly. 1t
should not be perfectly dry the next
morning, when the oil is applied, but
feel damp, not wet, however. The
best mixture for oiling shoes is made
of one-half of at's-foot oil-be sure
you get the genuine article-one-third
beef tallow, and one-sixth castor oil
Mix thoroughly over gentle heat
Depend upon the rubbing rather than
the heat to get the oil into express
it differently, two parts of rubbing to
one of heat. If the shoes are pegged,

ways should be, get the oil in well be.
tween the uppers and the sole; it will
prevent the sole pulling loose, or the
leather breaking away from the pegs
Shoes worn at farm work should be
oiled at least once a week. Itrequires
only few minutes to do the work,
and it is decidedly profitable labor

Small POulirv- HnnRaa.

1t Is an old maxim with poultrymen
that no person has been satisfied with
d poultry house after it was erected,
or, in other words, II the work had to
be done over again, some kind of
change would surely be the result.
The construction and form of q poul-
try house depends largely upon climat-
ic conditions. Among the mistakes
usually made are high roofs, too
much glass, and superfuous conven.
fences. Experience has demonstrated
that the best houses are those built in
g. cheap but substantial manner, and
for cold climate the rear should, if
convenient, not be over foot high.
Fowls are very partial to low, warm
shelter, and house three feet high in
the rear, six feet high in front, ten feet
deep and ten feet wide, will not only
provide ample accommodation for q
flock Of dozen fowls, but give plenty
of room for exercise in the winter sea-
son. when the ground is covered with
snow.
A poultry-house of the dimensions
mentioned, can be built at q small
cost. The roof may be of cheap
shingles or tarred paper, and, if, pre-
ferred, the sides and back may be of
tarred paper on rough boards. No
door or boards are required on the
front. The nests are at the rear.
Over the nests is board two feet
wide, and six inches over the board is
a roost made of 2x3 inch studding. A
curtain of unbleached muslin can be
arranged in front, which may be rolled
up during the day, and allowed to fall
down at night. Another curtain NAV
be arranged in front of the roost also,
II necessary, so as to make the roost-
ing place warm on cold nights. Such
house is merely an open shed during
the day, and closed shelter at night.
1t combines the roosting outside with
the protection of the shelter, and af.
lords plenty of ventilation and pure
air. The roof being low, the bodies of
the birds increase the temperature
within. 1t can be easily cleaned, and
1T combines many advantages for pro.
noting health. The floor in front OF
the nests allows scratching while
the curtain can be closed during stormy
days. But little glass is used, and all
that is required is to avoid draughts
IN very cold weather.

THE RURAL HOME.
The Old Hymn.

To day, with quiet heart heard
The PRAYER the anthem and the psalm,
And gently on my spirits Tell
The sweetness of the Sunday calm,
TILL at the reading of the hymn,
With sudden tears my eyes were dim.
That old, old hymnl Its sacred lines
Had fallen on my childish ears;
NY life turned back, unhlndered by
The stretch of inter Vening years.
Near me my little daughter smiled,
And ye. / was again child.
Outside the winds were fierce and rough
The Winters chill was in the air;
But could hear the benny birds;
And hummng insects everywhere;
And feel in spite of frost and snow,
A summer breeze from long ago.
To find the place l took the book.
And held ii in womans hand,
While all my soul was moved with thrills
No other soul could understand;
And quite unseen, with love divine,
My mothers finger folded mine.
And not because the music rose
Exultingly, held my breath
Lest | should lose its sweet delight
Upon her lips the hush OF death
For years has lain and yet heard
Ny mothers voice in every word.
Full well ! know the dead are dead,
Yet sometimes at look or tone,
With short relenting, will the past
One moment give us back our own.
o happy paini Too quickly done
AS swiftly ended as begun.

Feeding GreenrOorn to Hogs.

Green corn, as g. portion of the feed
OF hogs, Is good thing; but why any
one should think of keeping hogs on it,
making it an exclusive feed, passes our
comprehension. Some, in discussing
the subject, are surprised that succu-
lent food should ever be found other
wise than healthy for hogs, but to us
there does not appear to be any mys.
terry abobt it. The very succulent
spo ken of as saving condition, is one
OF the things that make an exclusive
green corn diet unwholesome. OF
course, much depends on how green
the corn is. 1t may be very green, the
kernels being mere blisters with q lit
tie water in them; it may be in the
milk, and Just right for boiling or
roasting, in which condition it would
be much better, but still too watery
for an exclusive diet, if corn were a
properly balanced food, which it is not,

Gathering RaafA Early.

Beets are more easily injured by
frost than any otherroots, and should
be earliest gathered. A light white
frost will do injury, but growth will be
completed before these come, and there
is no gain in delaying harvesting. The
tops make an excellent feed Tor mich
cows, only for the fact that they are
rather too stimulating to milk produc-
ton, and need to be supplemented
with meal or grain to prevent the COW
from losing flesh. There is little dan
ger in getting q COW too fat while beets
or their tops are main part OF the
food. If grain or meal is given also
the fact is shown in richer and better
milk.

Artificial Eggs.

see it gravely stated as fact, but
| don't vouch for it, that artificial
eggs are now made for market. Ground
carrot and fine corn meal are moulded
together and frozen to form the yolks;
this is surrounded by albunen in imi-
tation of natures use of that sub
stance for the same purpose, and the
whole is encased in a plaster of Paris
shell, which is afterwards polished.
This is worse than oleomargarine, but
it is remotely possible that in this age
of scientific wonders the artificial-egg
fellows may get up an egg that will
last longer than the natural article
Even if it will not, on provocation,
become chicken, it may at least be-
come durable and reliable article for
boarding houses, whereit is well known
that natural eggs are never durable
and liable till they have been spring
chickens for several years. In the
event OF such success the artificial egg
makers may seek legislation to pro-
hibit poultry farmers from trying to
palm off natural eggs on an unsus pect-
ing public for the artificial product,
just as the oleomargarine makers, who
are perfectly certain that oleomargar-
inc is better than butter, wish to have
last springs legislation reversed, so
that real butter must be stamped and
taxed while the bogus article is I'M
ested.-Anleric9n C4Ihva tor.

Catarrh

Is a complaint which affects nearly every body,
more or less. 1t originates in impure blood and
is aggravated by taking cold. DisagreeabIe flow
from the nose, tickling in the throat, offensive
breath, pain over and between the eyes, ringing
and bursting noises in the ears, are the more
common symptoms Catarrh is cured by Hood s
Sarsaparills, which strikes directly at the cause
by removing all impurities from the blood

say:
1.-THE experience OF DR.. Clark is not
strange to us. In our correspondence we
have found that many thouss nds of people
are suffering from what they think is Con-
sumption, whereas the real difficulty is
with the liver aud Kidneys proven by the
fact that when these organs are restored to
health by the use of Warmers safe cure, the
consumption disappears. and so does
uremic or kidney poisoning, which causes
so many symptoms OF diseases that the
human system is subject to. The same
may be said of rheumatism, caused
by an acid condition OF the system.
We insist upon what we always
have claimed, if you remove the cause
the system will soon perfect the work al
ready begun. Mrs. Rev. DIR. Theodore Wolf,
