Horse Scraps.

Keep the hogs out of pastures in which
you keep your work horses.
To encourage the hair to grow on places
worn bare by the harness, wash well with
salt water.
Now is the time your horses need
Strengthening food, but not fesh-forming
food. Feed for muscle and to avoid heat.
A man who will not keep his stables clean
this time of the year should not be allowed
to own horse. The fumes and bad air
which arise from accumulated filth in the
stable will make it bad place to keep any
thing which has any feeling
To prevent horses from eating the stalks
of corn it is necessary sometimes to put
muzzles upon them. When this is done the
masks or mnzzles should be made only of as
light material as possible. They should be
made as open as possible, SO that the air
can pass through easily. The high corn
makes breathing difficult, and the addition
of tight muzzle will make it still worse.

Popular Science.

There is now a "Dynamodermic Institute
of Paris" where the professors promise to
smooth ont wrinkles by electrol sis" The
electricity revivihes the skin and makes it
young again.
A new distress signal has recently been
brought out which requires no stick. 1t
consists OF a metal cylinder containing the
propelling charge, ami over it is charge of
tonite composition. The rocket IS placed in
a phospnoi bronze socket and Is fired by
pulling a lanyard. Stars are thrown out
as the rocket ascends to a hight of 600 feet 4;
then the tonite charge oxplodes with re-
port like that of six pounder. These rock
cts suitable for boats; and by arranging
the colored stars they can be made to sig

sizes, the llrger being seven lncles long by
two inches III diameter. The National Life
boat Institution is introducing these rock

In commenting on electrical execution,
London Iron says: Every particle of the
nervous tissue is polarized, and polarization
causes each particle of matter to revolve on
its axis, which means the stretching of the
nerves out of ell proportion, and conse-
quently TIE most intense pain. But the
great fault with execution by electricity is
that it is almost impossible t. ASCERTAIN Just
how strong a current will kill a man in
simultaneously, and yet not be a barbarous
mode of killing. If the current be but a
few volts stronger than that required to
instantly execute certain person, the conse-
quences would be terrible. 1t would dis
figure the body beyond recognition, aud
would disintegrate every portion of the
corpse. Should the current be just a trifle
too weak to execute a person, it would
throw him into trance so death-like that
it is probable that the body would be buried
alive"

Fowls AS insect Destrovers.

The American Farmer thinks that the
value of poultry for destroying insects is
greatly underestimate A turkey hen,
with large brood, will work iudust iously
over a large area in one day. aud they will
consume hundreds Of insects. During an
entire season the useful work so performed
will be very great A flock of hens on q
range will find all the insect food desired,
and will need no aid from the owner. This
is well enough as it appears, and saves ex-
penses, but their credit should be given the
destruction of insects. II some correct
estimate of the number of insects destroyed
by one hundred fowls could be made, for one
year, the result would 10 astonishing. II we
could put it at half peck for each hen, it
might not be too large, but allowing only
two quarts of insects for each hen, during
one year, and We have over three bushels
destroyed by one hundred fowls. This
means fewer insects to be killed the next
season. We have seen brood of turkeys
clean out all the worms ina tobacco field in
one day, and though the adult potato beetles
are injurious to fowls, yet the hens will eat
the eggs and grubs of the beetles if given
an opportunity The destruction of insects
should always be considered in the matter
of poultry management.

Manaramant of Roses.

Acongenial soil Is the first requisite for ucs =
cess with roses, accordi lg to the american
AqriculturaList, and this is not always at
hand That in which the rose delights
more than in any other, is deep, rich
heavy loan, moderately moist. The rose
is gross feeder and will at all times resent
neglect. Poor soil will not yield good roses.
No, not even poor ones. A liberal supply
of plant food is absolutely necessary in Or
der to secure roses. TIE amount of flowers
is proportionate to the growth of the plant;
they will appear just as fast as the wood is
produced that bears them and the wood is
produced according to the supply of plant
food furnished. That is about all the secret
there is growing roses.
The best plant food for the rose is a COM
post of well rotted turf and COW manure in
equal parts; this is to be applied at any and
all times; it makes but little difference how
or wheo, so long as the plant has always a
supply on hand ready for use. Manures
should never be applied to rose beds until
thoroughly decomposed then surfeit is
impossible. The best plan is. after the
plants have been set in well prepared bed,
to mulch the surface say to the depth of
two inches If the soil is naturally cold
and heavy, horse dung will be better; if
light and dry, COW dung is decidedly prefer
able. Whatever the nature of the ground
may be it should always be kept moist and
warm, at the same time never sodden; too
much wet is as fatal as drouth; either will
consume. The best situation for the rose is
an open and airy one; in such, with
liberal supply of manure, roses can be had
the entire summer, and it is folly to think
OF getting crop in any other manner. In
case of drought liquid manure can be APP
Piled with excellent results. Growth mus It
be constantly kept up; the more IA pid the
greater will be the number of the flowers,
and the quality will be proportionate As
rule, young plants are to be preferred,
and those that have never had check from
tne time the cuttings were put into the
propagating bench give the best results.
va and half starved plants we would not
plant under any circumstances, and it is by
Tar the best economy to set out new plants
every spring, or at least as often as once in
two years.
10 keep roses over winter take them I'D
after good, hard frost and heel them in,
IN some protected place in the garden. Lay
.aem cloe together at an angle of about
loFty-hve degrees. Pack the earth closely
around the roots, then cover the whole
with newly fallen leaves to the depth Of six
inches; over the leaves lay some brush or
tnrow over them sufficient earth to keep
'he leaves from being scattered by the
WIND. The following spring gradually un-
cover upon the approach of warm weather,
and replant as soon as the soil is in proper
condition.

ought to be kept in good condition, at the
same time it is an item TO do this as economi-
cally as possible. and with good quality
of food and variety by which good COM
binations make up more complete ration;
this can be done at less cost. Especially
with forage the time of cutting and tie
manner of storing away will make consid-
cradle difference in the quality. Wheat
and oat straw, sheaf oats, hsy and corn
FODDER are the principal materials used for
feeding during the winter or when the stock
do not have access to the pastures, and with
all of these the quality may be raised or
lowered by the time or stage at which it is
cut and the management given in keeping
the feed cut when wanted One of the
worst mistakes usually made is in allowing
them to get ripe, losing in this way more or
less of nutriment, and making in its place
woody fibre. The ma lner of handling
affects the quality, and if the best quality
of food is secured it is necessary TO cut at
the proper stage and to cure and store so
that it will keep in as good condition as
possible. Then with a good variety both
of grain ard forage the cost of winterlng
stock can be reduced. And the work must
be done now while the crops are being har-
vested.
The food necessary to keep the stock
should be secured from the farm. 1t is only
in exceptional cases that the farmer can
afford to purchase food of any kind,
uAless we except bran and linseed or oil
meal. To do this so that sufficient quantity
OF a good quality is secured it viii be
necessary to commence in good season and
cut at as near the est stage as possible.

Cotton Seed Products.


We take occasion, says the Dicie Farmer,
to give a table showing all the possible pro-
ducts of ton of cotton seed-thatis to say,

200 lbs. refined cake, at SIS 40 per ton. -. 80

The above shows what the value of a ton
of cotton seed would begif all the products
could be completely separated and each
sold separately. Lii f,l''7
The most improved mills now known are
able to get the following products from a
