Along the Country Road.

1t is best for the average farmer to have
but one kind of chicks. They can then
have unlimited range, and there will be
no expensive yards to keep up, and you
will always know that your birds are
pure. Birds can't remain healthy unless
they are allowed plenty of room to roam
and hunt the early worm.
President Chamberlain of the Iowa
Agricultural college, does not believe in
permanent pastures, preferring a regular
rotation of crops, with clover and timothy
meadow for two years of the rotation

heart, and you get more grass, relatively.

Gapes in Chickens.

Wright, who is a good authority on
poultry, thinks gapes infectious. or at
least epidemic. Unless, perhaps, thus
communicated by others, its occurrence
is caused by foul water, exposure to wet,
and want of nourishing food. The actual
symptoms exhibited are number Of
small worms In the windpipe and a gasp

sufficient to put little camphOr In the
drinking water or little turpentine may
be given daily in meal In bad cases the
worms must be removed by introducing
loop of horse hair into the trachea and
turning it round during the withdrawal,
repeating the operation till the worms are
extracted A feather stripped almost to
the top may be used instead of the horse
hair. Small pellets of camphor are some
times given, and the feather may be dip

parts water When young chickens are
kept in clean coops and out of the early
morning dew and rains, they are not often
troubled with gapes

Packing Butter.

1t detracts greatly from the market
value Of butter to mix different makes,
which generally mean different eolors, to.
gether in solid pack. Buyers of coun-
try made butter in large quantities usu-
ally work it over again and color it uni
formly before packing it down in solid
mass. This, however, Injuries the grain,
and the result is to average the quality of
the good and poor that are packed to-
gether. When practicable, it is best to
keep each make by itself and ship 1t to
market in rolls, wrapped in bleached mus
lin, wet enough to keep from sticking to
the roll. As general rule, a country
storekeeper will realize the most from his
butter trade who sells it as soon as he
can, and before it has lost the delicate
favor and aroma of fresh butter by long
keeping.
In packing solidly in tubs or frkins
from fifty to 100 pounds are used. The
packages should always be made of hard
wood. When it is desired to keep early
made butter through the summer to a
season of scarcity and better prices, the
following plan has proved one of the best
Pack only sweet and fresh rolls where
the buttermilk has been got out and the
grain OF the Dutter Is good. Wrap each
roll in thin muslin cloth wet In strong

package without jamming or dlsfguring
them. Then Immediately cover the but.
ter entirely with clear, strong brine and
set it away in cool place. The first may
be weighted down and moro put in after
ward, but mono should be left floating
partly out Of the brine. In this way each
roll is entirely submerged and does not
come in contact with the air.

FIGS. /, 2-PLowINa UNDER GREEN CROPS.
The chilled plows have generally given
better satisfaction than those with steal
mold boards, and are mostly better for
avoiding adhesion of the soil. personal
examination of the different plows made
or sold in your region Of the country
would doubtless give more satisfactory
results than any single recommendation.
For turning under a short or moderate
growth of green crop, important aid Is

ScAB IN POTATOES.
Opinions Expressed by Scientists and Pro-
gressive Farmers.

The two principal desires Of the potato
grower are, of course, quality and guam
tity, and il only one may be realized the
former has the preference. Potatoes
without disease are, or ought to be, the
great aim in this day of rot, blight and
scabby tubers OF late years not only
learned scientists, but progressive farm
ers, have endeavored TO discover the cause
ana preventive for scab in potatoes.
Some of our ablest authorities, includ
ing DR.. j. b. Lawes, of England; T.. s.
Carman, editor of The Rural New Yorker;
DIR. +. NJ. Hexamer. DR.. Henry Stewart
and Professor Goeesman, after extensive
and repeated experiments, have become
convinced of the efficacy of special com
mercial fertilizers for the potato. Mr.
Carman, who believes that wire worms
are ut least one cause of scabby potatoes.
saws: Whether the wire worm dislikes
potato chemical fertilizers or whether
these do not furnish the shelter which
the worm prefers. we do not pretend to
say. We do say that In all of our tests
the potatoes grown with farm manure
have invariably been more Injured with
wire worms than those grown with fertil-
izers."
the feeling very generally prevails that
manure, especially fresh manure, is pro
life cause. In many soils, of potato scab,
and ought to be avoided for this crop. In
general, it is claimed that potatoes grown
on chemical fertilizers are more free from
rot scab and blight. and are smoother,
more uniform and of better quality than
those grown on unfermented stable ma
nure
In word, experience has proven that
organic manures tend to promote scab
and rot in potatoes. The organic sub
stance seems to afford a soil peculiarly
adapted to the development of fungi and
insects, which in time attack the pOta.
toes. On the other hand, results favor
the belief that commercial fertilizers
made from minerals and properly treated
animal products are comparatively free
from fungi, and that such fertilizers tend
to prevent or destroy any chance fungus
growth In the potato itself.

Japanese Buckwheat.

Considerable curiosity has been evinced
concerning Japanese buckwheat Mr.
Peter Henderson, the well known New
York seedman, says Of it: Japanese
buckwheat is entirely distinct from all
other varieties so far offered" Mr.. Hen
darson attests to the productiveness of
japanese buckwheat, and recommends
trial of it, whether it be for milling, for
the apiary or the aviary. Good reports
come of this variety from bee keepers,
who have grown it in connection with bee
culture

Pretty Uses for Observation-Disclosures
and Favored beverages.

Various decorative uses for the seaweeds
that the coming months afford an opportu-
nifty to visitors to the seaside to collect, arc
suggested by Decorator and Furnsher. They
may be used ON the lids and sides OF glass
caskets, as borders and even fairgrounds TO
water color paintings, and ON picture and
mirror frames, meanwhile, until visitors re-
turn home, being kept in n scrap book
When collected they are dried between blot
ting paper and then washed with mastic gum
dissolved in turpentine, which gives them u
fresh appearance. They are affixed to the
leaves of the scrap book which should have
a flexible back, by means of gum, and may
easily be detached by dampening the reverse
side of the leaves. Very charming mono
grams and various fanciful desiguS may he
formed with seaweeds. They make excellent
borders for the outside surface of the glass

Odd and Handsome Fancy Work.

Among new and odd things in fancy work
is leather mosaic, which appears among re.
cent specimens of English decorative work.
The mosaic is used for borders, center pieces
of cushions and a variety of purposes.
The mosaic consists Of squares Of leather,
cut from old gloves, properly cleaned with
benzine, and arranged in a pattern OF vari-
Gus colors. The squares are sewed to foun-
dation of canvas, with silk of the same color
as the leather, and with stars Of claret flo
selle. The seams between the rows of
squares are covered with fine metal cord.
A handsome cushion consists of a large
square center of this mosaic framed in wide
border Of brown plush.

Mr.. WIN. G. WILDER received thirty
eight of the seventy-three votes cast at
the Convention Saturday night, and he
is therefore the candidate of the Conven-
ton and the Liberal party. We shall
give him our fullest and most cordial
support. The meeting of the Convention
was an animated one and the election
close, the successful candidate receiving
only one vote to spare. Both of the
gentlemen whose names were voted
upon made very honest and manly
speeches, each pledging himself to sup
port the candidate who should be nomi-
mated. The rumor that Mr.. II. w.
Schmidt would run Independently was
very injurious one and we were very glad
to hear him repudiate it in the outspoken
way in which he did. We are more than
ever convinced that both these gentle
