Friends of the Farmers.

In concluding recent bulletin
Rev. George d. Hulst, Entomologist
says: It may also be an advantage
TO point out some of the friends Of
the farmer, which, consequently, no
farmer should destroy, or allow to
be destroyed. Among these are
toads, which are, under all circum-
stances, the farmers friend moles
and field mice, probably, do vast
amount more of good than harm; all
birds, especially robins, wrens,
thrushes, orioles, cuckoos, phebes,
blue birds, woodpeckers, swallows
and cat birds. The destruction of
all these and many others, except
for scientific purposes, should be
made, under very heavy penalties,
illegal in every State. Among in
sects, many wasps are friends, es-
pecially those with a more or less
protruding horn or sting at the end
of the abdomen.

1t did not take many words for

"Oh, Minnie, did Charlie get his

on your finger in four weeks ?"
"He he never mentioned it before

Three months later there was a
double wedding at Grace Church,
and of cource the brides, dressed in
white, looked beautiful, and the old
saying.
"Happy is the bride the sun

surely, their paths though life will
be bright.

pounds of sal-soda and two pounds
ofcaustic lime boiled up in two gal
Ions of water will make a solution

FARMERS DEPARTMENT.
Fitting Bones for Fertilizer.

Strong lye will rapidly disorsan-
ize bones, says a professor in a
Michigan college, especially if boil
ed in the lye; the oss,in or organic
matter of bones is rapidly dissolved
and they become brittle. If wood
ashes cannot be got in sufficient
quantity, bones may be fitted for
use as fertilizers by breaking into
coarse fragments with a hammer
and then boiling them with a mix
ture of sal soda, eaustic, lime and
water. The ordinary carbonate of
soda or sal-soda ought not to cost
more than than four cents pound

Strong soap-suds will kill the lice
in the plum trees.
The sure way to break hen from
egg-eating is to cut off her head.
Give plenty of pure water and
and green food to hogs in pen at
this season Of the year.
The only gain in drilling in corn
is in planting quick and getting fer

stable manure.
If your pigs are in a pasture where
good water is not plentiful, see to it
that they have regular supply.
The flower garden and the field
will be the cheapest as well as the
loveliest pasture for those who keep
bees.
Fine, carriage horses are always
quick of sale at extra high prices, as
the supply is never equal to the de-
mand.
Many farmers lose half the profit,
Or make none at all, from neglect to
feed properly with a view to the
growth of wool and mutton.
If you have any young burdocks
about your farm, cut them down
and give to your horses. At this
time of the year it will be good for
them both.
For Il shady spot under the trees
and shrubs, where the soil is rich
and not too dry, there is nothing
more satisfactory than the lily-of-the-
valley. To plant it once, is to have
it forever in the garden.
A churn should be scalded with
boiling water, made alkaline with
washing soda. Every particle of
milk or cream should be removed.
After being well washed the churn
should be rinsed by again using
boiling water.
Odors in the stable indicate that
the air therein is impure. Use of
absorbents is very important in
summer. Once II week the stable
should bs sprinkled with IL solution
made of one pound of copperas in
two gallons of soft water.
Every person keeping poultry
should keep an accurate account
with his stock, placing all the OK
penditures incurred and the amount
of the receipts on the prop. sides of
the sheet. The losses should, of
course, be charged to the expense

How to Get Along.

Don't stop to tell stories in bus
iness hours.
Ifyou have a place of business,
be found there when wanted.
No man can getrich by sitting
around the stores and saloons.
Never "fool" in business mat
ters.
Have order, system, regularity,
and also promptness.
Do not meddle with business you
know nothing of.
Do not kick everyone in your
path.
More miles can be made in a day
by going steadily than by stopping.
Pay as you go.
A man of honor respects his word
as he does his bond.
Help others when you can, but
never give what you cannot afford
to, simply because it is fashionable.
Learn to say No. No necessity Of
swapping it out in dog-fashion, but
say it firmly and respectfully.
Use your own brains rather
than those Of others.
Learn to think and act for your
self.
Keep ahead rather that behind
the times.
Young men, cut this out, and il
there be any folly in the argument,
let us know.
Plum trees will thrive we'll in a
poultry yard, and be less subject to
the attack of the curcuho. The
trees will require the usual jarring,
but the insects will be destroyed by
poultry, lessening the liability OF
damage the succeeding year. All
plum trees should be in poultry
yards, but do not allow them to act
as u roost.
1t is useless to look for a harvest
Of honey from weak colonies, and a.
the heavy flow occurs generally in
