A man who has tried it says that
wooden posts treated as follows. at a cost
of two cents apiece, will last so long that
the party adopting it will not live to see
his posts decay. Take boiled linseed
oil, and stir in pulverized charcoal to the
consistency of paint, and put coat over
the timber.
To break dog CT sucking eggs, open
an egg at one end, take out part OF the
contents and insert teaspoOnful OF pull

the egg, then put it in his mouth, shut
his Jaws and crush the egg. This Is
speedy and efectual.
Manure thrown out of a stable window
and allowed TO accumulate against the

manure is removed the shield can be

The American Culticntor recommends
a mixture of hydraulic cement and
skim milk for painting farm buildings
and fences. The cement is placed In a
bucket and sweet skim milk stirred in
until the mixture IS of the consistency
of cream. The proportions are about
one quart of cement to gallon OF milk.
Color may be added if desired. This
paint is cheap and durable.

Farm and Garden Notes

Whenever the work of the farm will
permit, it will pay to pillow up good
patch for turnips.
The man who raises colts cannot afford
to have slow walking or an ill-tempered
horse on his farm.
Keep hoes, spades, forks, etc., in the
oat bin. The oats prevent their becom-
ing damp and rusty.
Putting the chicken coops under the

Fine, silky hair on an animal indi-
Gates that it will fatten readily, while

Paris green and all poisons used about
the farm or house should be plainly Tabled
poison, and kept out of children's reach.
1t is said that you can break hens of
the habit of egg eating by giving them
several feeds of old bacon cut up in small
bits
Don't sell off the best stock it should
be picked out and kept upon the farm.
1t is very poor economy to follow any
other plan.
Covers for the hen and her brood to
roost in should be made rat proof and
covered securely to keep out rain. Covers
should be fastened down so they can't
blow off.
AS soon now as you can spare the old
hens fatten them for market. They will
not lay much for the next six months and
in that time they will eat as much as they
are worth.
All birds that feather out early are
hard to raise, and only extra attention of
the right kind will save large percent
age of them. The severe drain upon
the system of the little chicks in feath-
ering is the cause of this.
Woodchucks annoying in field and

which had been cut two-thirds through
and Paris green inserted in the crevice.

TranspIanted Weeds.

Many farmers make themselves much
needless trouble with weeds. The dill
Guilty originates in not killing them
promptly as soon as they appear above
the surface, or, if possible, little be-
fore. When an annual weed seed has
sprouted, it's root at first is only fine,
slender white thread, which exposure to
sun and air causes to wither and perish.
The slightest brushing with a garden
rake destroys the small weeds in its path
as effectually as would deeper cultiva-
ton. But let this threadlike fibre
thicken, and itself become the centre
from which numerous small fibres
spread. and its destruction becomes a
more difficult matter. If uprooted, it
can only be done by loesening the sur
face soil. So long as the root lies in
contact with the earth. It's rootlets will
catch hold and try to furnish the plant
with moisture from the soil.
In rainy time, when weeds have been
at all neglected, cultivation may even do
injury rather than good. Gardeners
know that frequent transplanting makes
plants stocky, and gives them numerous
tibrOus roots. 1t serves the same pur-
pose with weeds. The worst of these,
when it first sprouts from the seed, is
easily killed. No doubt a young Canada
thistle or quack seed sprouting and
pushing forth it's fine root can be de-
stroyed by the brush Of hoe. But let
them develop the underground stems, and
their eradication becomes an intcrmin-
able Job american CuLtiU1t0r.

What Land to Drain.

Many farmers take the time between
wheat harvest and corn cutting for put
ting in tile. The question naturally
arises, what kind of land will it pay to
drain?
1t is claimed by some that all lands
that are not naturally underdrained can
be profitably tile drained where land is
valuable. However this may be, it is
certainly a profitable investment to tile
drain all low, fiat, wet and cold lands,
where an outlet can be obtained
OF the yearly amount of rainfall, a
portion Immediately runs off into the
streams and is carried away. Some is
taken up again into the atmosphere by
evaporation, but a great part of that
which falls on uplands sinks into the
earth. Of course it must find its way
out. 1t does so by oozing out around the
base of the hills at the edges of the low
lands, which are usually underlaid with
stratum of impervious clay. Flat
lands are not only saturated with the
water which falls on them and runs di-
rectly on them from the surface of the
upland. but are kept still more wet and
cold for longer time by cold water,
which is constantly soaking them. Such
lands are unproductive of anything, ex-
cept very poor quality of native grass,
and very poor pasturage. They can, by
tile draining, be made as valuable as the
very best of upland, producing enor-
nous crops of corn. clover, and all cult
waited grasses.
Low or marsh lands that are underla1d
with thin stratum of clay, through
which cold water rises, being forced up
by the pressure of the water from the
higher level of the surrounding upland
are of little value, no matter how good
the surface drainage may be, for they are
cold and wet all summer, and in many
places so soft and miry that it is difficult
for stock to. get what little sour grass
grows on them.
Such land can be made very produc-
tive by tile-draining. Very often the
first crop of corn will pay the whole eX-
pense Of thing.

Barley for Late Fall Feed.

A writer in the lGrr0r and Farnae1'
gives his experience with barley as fol-
Eows:
l sowed two bushels of barley on $50
rods of ground, which had just grown a
crop of oats, on August II, 1887, and
seeded it with timothy at the same time
1t grew we'll, and during the latter part
of October, when almost everything else
was sere and brown, it was a pretty and
refreshing sight, as beautiful as a field of
wheat in June and a wonder to nearly
all who passed by, and l was often
amused to see old farmers leave their
wagons and get over the fence to ex-
anime it, ana were not satisfied even then
without consulting me. To nearly all
it was a revelation to learn that barley
would stand such heavy frosts and still
keep green, and some thought it must be
a new variety of Manitaba frost proof
wheat which they had read about. 1t
was sown at just the right time for
October feed, but would have held green
better in November if it had been sown
three or four days later. To bear frosts
we'll it needs considerable vitality left in
the plant and that is all used up when
the plant produces seed. Our first heavy,
killing frost came on October 49, about
one week later than usual. And | think
from August 3 to Is is the right time to
SOW in our climate. Farmers in New
Hampshire would probably need to SOW
little earlier. 1t makes a nice cow
feed, richer than fodder corn, though of
course not near so bulky, and horses are
very greedy tor it. If the grass sown
with it will produce a full crop next
season, l think we can NOW a meadow,
turn it over. seed with barley and grass,
get an extra crop for our labor, lose no
time for the land and have new meadows
often, but we must not forget to pile on
the manure.

THE HONOLULU POLICE JUSTICE
SHIP,

Several of the members of the bar
met at the Attorney-General's Office
yesterday to consider the question
of making any recommendation as
to the next incumbent of the Police
Court. This action we learn was
taken in pursuance or in conse-
quence of suggestions from the At
torney-General, and also from the
Chief Justice, and not from desire
to assume any responsibility as to
an appointment for which the Cabi-
net and Supreme Court Justices are
responsible. The members of the
bar determined to make no recon-
mendation as to the personnel of the
appointee further than to suggest
that no appointment be made of a
person who has not requisite legal
qualifications for so important an
Office.
