Bone Meal.

Many farmers tnial1 that the hens
may shift for themselves. If they do
well, all right; if they are found dead
or dying it is not much loss. For the
capital invested no stock on the farm
will pay as well as the poultry welt
carcd for. O..e Of the little things that
ought to be looked after to have the
poultry always in good trim is supply
of bone meal. Concerning this, the
Ohio Poultry Journal says poultry
raisers should not neglect to use SUI
Il. lent raw bone either crushed or in the
form OF meal. 1t contains lime as do
oyster shells, BUTT contains animal mat
ter which is of great value. Bone when
burnt is of comparatively little value
over oyster shells, Lut when crushed or
ground raw supplies value peculiar to
itself. All classes of poultry are ex-
tremely fond of it. Care should be
taken to have it pure and sweet. 1t is
good for all classes and ages of poultry.
For young chicks it should be uaed in
the form of meal, mixing small
quantity two or three times q week
with their soft feed, say one quart to a
u.hel OF corn meal.

sibo to prevent leg weakness. About

sowing Oats without narrowing.


1t is common practice to SOW clover
seed on winter wheat fields carly in the
spring without narrowing. The small
clover seed sinks deep enough in tho
soft soil 10 germinato without any cov-
ering. 1t has been recommended to sow
oats in tho same way. Last spring We
sowed several acres Of oats in this way
and ono of our ncighbors also sowcd an
acre or moro. But in neither case has
the result boon as satisfactory as we wcro
given to expect. In fact, while we pro-
pose 20 give tho plan another trial, VIC
arc compelled to say that sowing oats on
tho bare land in spring and
trusting to the snow and rain aud
mud to cover them was this year with
u, and our neighbor practical fail
urc.. But it is seldom that we have so
dry and late spring or one 50 unfavor-
able for sowing oats without covering
them as the last one has been. All far
mers of long experience know that oc-
asionally a cropof grass can be OBJ
tanned by merely sowing the seed on
the surface. We rccollcct once sowing
peas broadcast and before we could fla
ish narrowing heavy rain set il and q
portion of the field was left with the
peas uncovered on the surface, and yet
produced a good crop. 1t is doubtless
so with oats. 0ccasionallya good crop
can be obtained in this way, and it
is quito probable that when everything
is favorable larger crop can be OBJ
tanned than from crop sown in the
usual way later in the spring But
what OF lt2 1t is the rule and not tho
exception that a careful farmer wants
10 follow, and there can be no question
that as a general thing the crop will be
enough better when tho seed is har-
rowcd in to repay him richly for all his
extra time and trouble. Usually it
does not pay to leave very much to
chance. II American Agriculturist.

HELMS in Hog Fattening.

Colonel +. D. Curtis, an authority on
swlncology, tells us, says tho Now York
Witness, that the fattcning hogs will
do better if allowed place to dig into
the dry earth, as the earth is natural
antidotc for acidity of tho stomach.
Fattcning hogs should always have ac-
cess to salt. Coal ashes and screenings
arc excellent for them, and this sort Of
refuse should find place in the hog
yard or in tho pons. Tho hogs will eat
every bit. 1t is an cxccllont corrective
for them, and helps to give them an ap-
petite. Charcoal is a superior cor
rcctivo, but it is comparatively costly,
whereas coal ashes cost nothing. The
fine ashes absorb the juices of the
manure, and arc rendered valuable in
this way for fertilizer.

POTATO Points.

Tho advantage of deep planting has
been shown this year by tho rich, healthy
color which the potatoes maintained
during protractcd drouth. think
that deep ploughing is beneficial also in
the same way. By means of both deep
planting and deep ploughing tho roofs
reach lower point than they would
under tho opposite circumstances. Be-
sides, Natures way OF watering plants
from below, by means of capillary at
traction is more eff. ctualIy secured.
Tic ravagcs of Colorado boctlos among
our potatoes were very much lesscned
by hand picking. 1t requires no'morc
time than to apply poison later in the
season, and the danger aud expense Of
tho latter are avoided. Tho beetles can
DO gathered nearly as fast as hucklcber
rics, and paiful OF them is sight as
beautiful rs one Of buckle cherries, if not

A good COW ought to more than pay

loss of milk ought to BIO more than made
up by the value of tho calf. In thor

Ill the lTcn were IsaacS.

The daughter of G. clergyman in this
vicinity, who had learned to read fairly
well, recently asked her fathers permits
sion to read aloud the Bible to a poor,
old, bcd-riddcn woman. Permission was
granted and once OF twice n week the
little girl took her Biblo and read o
chapter to the aged invalid.
4 Week or two passed, and the clergy
nun himself paid a call upon the old
woman, and before lie left, lie asked her
how his daughter pr crossed as a reader
of Holy Writ. The old woman replied
enthusiastically that the child was an
angel, and had read her some beautiful
passages in the life Of Isaac.
About.n month later, the readiDg of
the Bible having continued under the
same auspices, tho clergyman once more
called upon the old woman. Naturally
ho repeated his inquiry us TO his little
daughters reading, and was surprised
when the old woman replied: "Well,
she reads very nicely, sir, but I'm get.
ting q little tired OF hearing about
Isaac.
doesn't she read from other parts Of
the Biblel" the good minister asked, for
lie was puzzled.
cit may be other parts, sir, but it do
all BIO about Isaac" the old woman made
answer.
As soon Ms lie reached home the cler
gyman called his youngest daughter to
him and asked her why size had such
preference for the history of Abraham
and Sarah's first-born. "lou see, papa,
1 can't read very well yet, md those long
names do bother me so that J. thought
