Earn, Notes.

Provide some green food for your chicks IL
you want them TO thrive.
Chicks that are allowed to remain lousy won't
do any good. Grease the old hen.
Set your hens in a cool place, and on the
ground, as the weather begins to get hot.
The pig crop of tae spring of 1855, by the
best advices, is very good, and so far is free
from sweeping diseases.
Any farmer who has weeds or grass how
growing in the field or among his crop has
more land than he can cultivate.
1t is said that you can break hens of the
habit OF egg-eating by giving them several
feeds oil old bacon cut up in small bits.
A nasturtium three years old, with spread
Of twenty-five feet and q continual show of
blossoms, is reported in Boston conserva-
tory.
1t has been shown by experience that a pig
digests larger percentage OF grain, convert
ing it into animal increase, than steer, COW or
sheep.
A clover sod, enriched with well-composed
manure, is a good beginning for crop Of
Swedish turnips. Ashes may also be applied
with advantage
Grass must not be allowed to grow in the
peach orchard now. The cultivation OF peach
orchard and corn crop is very similar. Look
well for the borer.
Late potatoes can be put in on the ground
formerly occupied by peas. The late crop
keeps best during winter The chief difficulty
now is to get good seed.
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 of.
Don't count much on the gleanings of the
harvest fields as food for pigs. Nowadays
after the harvester has passed over them the
hog feed left is a fraud and delusiOn.
Cut off all diseased limbs from the pear trees
should evidence of blight appear, and swab the
limbs with lnseed oil. Barn all the branches
taken of and keep the soil stirred.
As soon now as you can spare the old hens
fatten them for market. They will not lay
they will eat as much aS th9yar worth
1t is claimed that wool, Washed after il has
been clipped and left for some time in its nat
ural grease, combs better and makes more per-
feet cloth than ii washed while on the sleeps
body.
Late corn for fodder can be planted now.
Sow it thickly in the rows, so as to have the
stalks small and tender. Sorghum also makes
an excellent fodder crop, and is highly reliShed
by stock.
Have you ever noticed that the place to look
for the chickens-and find them too-on a hot
day, is under the currant bushes? Take hint
from nature and give your chickens, if con-
venient, such natural shade.
There is nothing better for hogs SAYS an ex-
change, than large red clover. III the hogs are
ranged so they will not root out the clover, the
pasture will last for two years, and may then
be turned under for corn.

A dessert made with apples, baked, but to be
served cold, is made this way: To pint OF
stewed, tart apples pressed through fine col

Smoking an Eagle.

to work to catch an eagle? BY putting
salt on its tail, perhaps. How Chief
Justice Parsons went about it is thus de-
scribed by his son:
The cry came into the office one day
that monstrous bird had alighted on the
palings of the garden. So out my father
went, and at once recognized a young but
well-grown eagle.
Putting coal into the bowl of large
pipe, he filled the bowl with tobacco, and
when it gave out smoke freely, he slowly
approached the bird, and gently blew the
smoke into its face.
At first the eagle seemed offended, and
threatened with beak and wing, but soon
appeared to like it, and then, in a little
time, was stupefied. My father then di-
rected our man servant to come up and
seize the bird round the body, while he at
the same moment caught at the throat
with one hand, and at the legs with the
other.
In this way the bird was safely capt
ured and retained tor day or two, until
reclaimed by its owner, from whom il had
escaped.

Another Plan for Chinch Bugs.
1The Republic.l

Nearly all old apple trees are too high
headed. The idea of their planters and
early trainers seem to have been that it
would not do to let the branches hang so
low that the largest horse could not blow
or cultivate close to them without injury.
The consequence is the stems mostly run
up seven or eight feet without limb, and
most of the fruit, exposed to winds, is
blown off and spoiled for marketing. If
not, it is extremely difficult and danger
Gus to gather it by ladders. The way the
business is managed now is to train lows
keep the branches so that when loaded
they will almost touch the ground. Keep
the surface under the tree well mulched
with manure and this will suppress most
of the grass that would otherwise creep
in. Many of the apples thus grown can
be picked from the ground or by low step
ladders set under trees.

Among the most prominent figures in the
convention was Greed Raymond, chairman of
the California delegation, and foremost among
the boomers" of Blaine and protection" To
those who knew him years ago il seemed queer
place for him to be. Greed Raymond is Vir-
ginian by birth, and a democrat by instinct and
tradition. During the war in California
he was a strong secessionist and afterward was
prominent and useful as an anti-monopoly,
free trade democrat He is a fine lawyer,
man OF exceedingly quick and nimble mind,
and, like most Southern men of his class,
born politician. lie rendered very efficient aid
to Gov Haight in his struggle with the Pacific
railway monopoly, and no one in the country
could have better startled the Chicago
convention with a Jehersonian speech. But
like many other men in California, Greed Hay
mond at length grew tired OF what seemed an
utterly hopeless fight, and the railroad octopus,
true TO its policy OF taking into its service men of
ability who might be dangerous on the outside,
made him head of its law bureau with salary
OF $4,000 a year. Thus it comes that Greed
Raymond makes his appearance in a national
republican convention at the head of delega-
ton representing the Central Pacific railroad
ring.

Trading in elnnderod Horses.

In Jackson county there lives man
who traded glandered horses. The state
veterinarian traced some of the cases in
other counties and attended to them, as is
his duty. The matter OF such unjust and
criminal trading of diseased stock was
brought to the grand jury; the man was
indicted, he then pleaded not guilty in a
criminal suit, but was found guilty, and
had to pay all the damage he had caused
TO various individuals by bis transaction,

trading is a criminal offense, and very few
know or think that CHAMBERS is transmissa-

latter.
In Nodaway county civil suit was won
in similar case. In that county found
poor fellow, Hiram S. Pierce, with alb

body. He had contracted the mortal dis
ease from his horses, which had been
traded to him, he said, under the belief
that they had distemper. They had gland

"but if live to be man 1 will make life
easier for his kind"
The story may be true or false, but the
fact remains that the treatment OF all anil
mails in this country is more humane
since Henry Bergh arrayed the law on the
side of mercy, and taught that Christianity
had duties to beasts as well as to men.
This tender-hearted man had his proto-
type in the last century in a wealthy, &C.
centric old Quaker in Philadelphia named
Anthony Benezet, who was noted
throughout the colonies for his liberality,
and his keen sympathy with the slaves,
the Indians, and the herds OF poor, I'M
fortunate emigrants who even at that
early time formed dark fringe to the
prosperous Quaker settlement.
Benezet's sharp, quaint sayings gave
force and currency to his principles. His
tender kindness extended to the meanest
of living beings. Every morning, old
Watson tells us, he fed in his yard the
rats which came up to his call. When he
was laughed at for this habit, he said: Il
do it to make them honest. Being so fed,
they never prey on any goods OF mine"
When asked at the inn to eat Of chick
ems, may" he replied, ''Would you have
me feed on my neighbors?"
Another chronicer tells us that the old
quaker was known to every horse and dog
in the town. When he died the whole
community followed him, mourning, to
the grave, the Indians and negroes FORM
ing one-half of the funeral.
"Even the poor mules at work on the
roads know him for friend, indeed"
Surely these servants OF God who have
cared for the most helpless of His creatures
will have high work given TO them In the
lives to come.

The Care of Farm Machinery.

The wear and tear of farm machinery,
especially mowers, reapers, threshers and
others with swift running-gear, is i'm
mense. Much of this may he saved by
covering from the rain and dew when in
the field. This, however, is only one of
the integers causing deterioration. 1t has
been computed that fully 20 per cent. OF
the value of harvesting machines is yearly
lost by failure to keep the bearing sur
faces properly oiled. This, however, is
not because too little oil is used; it is that
the bearings, especially those working
rapidly, do net receive oil often enough,
and when oiled they get too much.
The use of oil is to keep the bearing
surfaces apart, so they may not grind to-
gether. Oil causes the friction surfaces
or bearings to slide or roll one on the
other without coming together. Hence
only the best oil, that will not gum, should
be given. In this, judgment must be used.
Good oil quickly spreads, and the bear
ings being reasonably close, friction is re-
duced to a minimum. If too much oil is
used, it runs to waste and is lost. If not
enough is given, friction and undue wear
ensues. The gear and bearings grind
upon each other, the metal heats, ex-
pands, and a very little time will destroy
the integrity of the machine.

Paris Green to Potato Vines.

baltimore Americana
As the potato bug is already at work
among the young potato vines, we give
the following hints for the use of the
principal remedy for their destruction.
In applying this poison it is much safer
and quite as effective to mix it with water
and sprinkle it upon the plants with a
small corn buster. than to mix with pas-
ter and sift and scatter it upon the leaves.
vet the latter method il practised and
highly recommended on account of in
volving less labor than the other The
danger of applying in this form is the liza
bIlity of inhaling the poison by the party
who applies it, unless done on dull day
when the air is still. One pound OF the
Paris green mixed with 800 pounds OF
land plaster will do the work as effec-
lively as though larger proportion of the
poison was used. 1t can be applied by
means OF a sieve or sown on the vines
with the hand. A very convenient de-
vice resembling a combination of pail and
sieve, made especially for the purpose, ia
cilitates the work. When applied in
water a tablespoonful of pure Paris green
will be sufficient for an ordinary three
gallon bucket of water. BY putting the
Paris green into the empty bucket and
filling with water from faucet or pump,
the poison will become pretty thoroughly
mixed, but should be often stirred
with the broom or whisp while applying
the mixture.

It would no doubt be very amusing
scene, says the Stockman and Farmer, were
it possible to take a bird's-eye view of
some of the busiest farming districts one
OF these fine mornings about daylight, and
see the different ways of getting horses up
out of the pasture and into the stables
ready for work. The pleading echoes Of
the ''hoap hoap! ho-apw from one farm
would be answered by the savage bark OF
the dog on another farm as he chased the
poor animals as if they were SO many
wild beasts that were being drove out of
the neighborhood. Getting up the horses
on some farms is regarded as one of the
hardest tasks OF the day, and it is fire.
quently made one of the most wearisome
performances both for the horses
and those who attend to il 1t
comes at a time when neither man or
beast can afford to get excited or
worried, for the whole days work is still
before them, and with bad start there is
liable to be trouble and worry all the day.
That may seem to be matter of little inn
portance but there is more in it than is
generally supposed. Horses which are
brought quietly from the field will eat
their morning feed OF grain with better
relish and get more from it than if chased
around Mt full speed for half an hour be-
fore he can be captured. The excitement
caused by this chasing is more exhaust
ing than the hardest kind of labor, to say
nothing about the time lost in doing
it. If treated properly horses will
not be hard to get up in the
morning, or any other time. Treat
them kindly when they come in and they
will soon learn to come without coaXing
or driving. Have treat in the shape OF a
good feed OF grain or chop that they will
relish when they get into the stable, and
all you will have to dois to open the gates
and doors and let them to it. If they
have acquired the habit OF running, and
are hard to drive, it will take some more
tempting than usual to break of this
habit. Have their feed in the trough for
them when they enter the stable, and they
will learn to hurry to it instead or running
in the opposite direction. 1t may take a
little time and some patience to break old
offenders, but it can be done, and when
once accomplished the pleasure it will
afford and the time saved will more than
repay for the trouble If YOU treat and
train your horses right they will be await
ing your appearance at the accustomed
time instead of skulking away and trying
to avoid you.
