SELLING EGGS BY WEIGHT.

There has, from time TO time for years,
been attempts made to induce grocery
men and dealers generally, to sell eggs
by weight, but while some have attempted
it, they have gradually fallen back into
the old way of selling by the dozen. The
housekeeper does not seem to take kindly
to the plan, and prefers to buy the eggs
as she has been accustomed to, getting a
few large ones and some small ones in
the dozen. But undoubtedly the Just
way is to buy and sell by weight, as in
this way both buyer and seller would get
full value for eggs and money. 1t would
also have tecpency to stimulate the
breeding of a class of fowls that would
lay large eggs, and so drive all the lay
ers of small eggs out of existence. Any
observing person will notice thatth lay
!ers of small eggs, like the Hamburgs,
Polands, etc, are always in the minority
at our shows, which indicate that our ex-
hibitors like to combine the practical
with the beautiful, and that the fowls
known to be layers of large or medium
sized eggs are the chosen birds.-Fdrm,
F'ield and Stoclmda.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Be sure the calf has dry bed.
Keep ahead of the weeds or they will
get ahead of you.
! Keep a lookout for the brood mare.
Don't overwork her.
If you feed your land well, frequent
Groupings will not impoverish it.
Mutton sheep give best returns if fed
for that purpose while they are young.
A few extra hours of care given the
lambs and ewes may save you much loss.
Don't turn the hogs into young
orchard if the small trees are unpro-
tected.
Some old gardeners claim that Gu
cumber vines will bear better if they are
topped.
The effect of the general spraying of
fruit trees is to give us less wormy fruit
than ever before.
The nights continue cold with us, so we
have not set out our tomato plants nor
planted our lima beans.
Our boy cultivates his onions and other
small vegetables before they are up, by
going between the rows with the rake or
hoe.
As soon as the lambs are up and have
taken their first meal, they are on the
road to sheephood. But care for them
still, if you would have them sheep.
Three wants are responsible for nine
out of every ten improbable farms,
according to american Agriculturist-
want of cultivation, want of manure and
want of drainage.
Without doubt any active farmer who
will cultivate his mind as well as he cult
Yates his fields may increase the profit of
his farming largely and at less outlay
than in any other manner.
Do YOU notice some of the chicks trail
ing their wings2 Look out for lice. Ex-
anime beneath the wings, on top of the
head and about the vent. Look closely
and you will find the cause.
An acre of meadow that yields ton of
hay may give no profit, but if the yield
be increased to two tons, it may give ten
or twenty per cent. profit, according TO
the market value of the land.
Professor Samuel Johnston, Michigan
Agricultural College, says: ~ should
prefer to buy wheat, bran, oil meal and
other commercial foods for cattle rather

In setting hens for early chickens some
think it best to set several at the same
time. Then, if they do not hatch well
the chickens can be given to one hen and

Professor w. A. Stewart enumerates

for stock, shorts, bran, oil-meal, cotton

If the disposition to maintain, support
and encourage all that is good in human
character were half as prevalent as the
propensity to pull down and destroy, the
millennial age would be hastened forward
immeasurably.
The first thing to look to, after you
have made up your mind to keep bees, il

TRAINING HELPERS,

The term "breaking" as applied to the
domestic animals has an unpleasant sig
nitication. 1t indicates bad management
forcibly remedied. A calf or a colt
should be trained from its birth, and it
should be gradually led in the way it
should go-the word educated" has pre-
cisely the same meaning-by a constant
progressive course of kind and consid-
crate treatment. A heifer calf should be
weaned at its birth. If its natural in
stinctive proclivities are to be repressed
and obliterated, this is the time to begin,
before the germs of these have had op-
portunity to grow into habit. Hence a
calf should not be permitted to suck the
dam and should be taught to drink from
Q pail. Have a leather collar strong
enough to hold it, with a ring sewn in it,
and a rope with a snap hook to tie it with
in the pen. Then it should be handled
Cbrushed is better quite frequently, un-
til it is used to it and makes no resistance
but rather likes it. AS it grows older its
ndder and teats should be rubbed and
pulled as if in milking. This not only
makes it docile, but it helps the develop
ment of the rudder and increases its
future capacity. A heifer may be brought
to milk in this way before it has had a
calf, and instances of this lacteal precocity
are not infrequent where calves are per-
mitted to suck each other, although this
Is great mistake and is provocative of
vicious habits, such as self-sucking and
sucking other cows. When the heifer
has calf it is already trained, and
breaking, with the discipline of a club,
a boot, or a milking stool, will not be re-
quired. Agriculturist.

-Dandelions are readily destroyed by
merely cutting off the crowns of tho
plants just below the leaves in early
spring. With broad, long-handled
chisel man will do this work quite rap

cut off as often as they appear during the.
summer, the greater part Of the roots will

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
PROTECTION oF Hay.

The use of hay caps is complete pro-
lection to the hay in case of rain, and
with sufficient number of these caps the
whole crop may be left out safely and got
In in fine weather unimpaired by rain.
The caps are made of one and half yard
squares, which may be water-proofed by
stepping them first in a solution of sugar
of lead, then in one of alum, or by paint
ing them with any waterproof compost
tion. A hole is made in each corner and
a string loop fastens it down to peg
pushed in the hay to hold it against the
wind.-NeU York Times.

The American workmen who visited
Paris during the past summer find that the
labor cost Of manufactured articles In Eu-
rope Is greater than In this country. The
working people work fewer hours, have
more holidays and use crude machinery.

those of Europe, the difference is more
than made up In the greater product of the
American workman. Whenever our trade

1t Is a relief TO read the resolutions of
the N. l.. Farnham Post, G. A. r., Of New
York, passed by that post on last Wednes-
day evening, for they are a sign of a
healthy reaction within the order, which
will do much TO encourage men In their
opposition to the demands of the radical,
or grab" wing of the order. The resolu-
lions say, In substance: 1.-THE action Of
Senator Ingalls,, OF Kansas, and others In
regard to pension laws will work injury to
the Grand Army; that only disabled vet
Grams are entitled to pensions; that the G..
A. Il. has been formed to enable old SOL
oilers to take care of themselves and each
other; that patriotism may be displayed by
relieving the county of unnecessary bur
dens, and that the soldier who applies for
a pension except In a case of necessity
Injuries the reputation Of his comrades and
that Of the post" The resolutions also
strongly condemn any attemptto make use
of the G, A. X. for political purposes or as
an engine to aid Ia dissipatlng the surplus
that has accumulated In the government
treasury by unwise and unnecessary taxa
ton. The demands of the pension agents
and pension grabbers, II allowed, would
bankrupt the country unless there should
be an enormous increase In the tax levies,
which now are as high aa 1t is practicable
to levy without utterly overwhelming the
taxpayers of the country. That senti-
ment should be awakened In the country
In opposition to those demands on the
ground purely of good government and
sound morals, admits of no argument. The
honors of the true soldier are not increased
by the payment to him of pension which
would 60 also to the bounty grabber, the
suffers clerk, the coward and the deserter.
Rather 1t places him on par with the
rlff-ratf of the army, an inslnuation he
would have scorned during the war, and
which would be an insult to him now. On
the old soldiers themselves now devolves
the duty of keeping the pension roll roll
of honor, for they only can oppose the
grabbers without being open to the charge
of " disloyalty," and 1t is gratifying to find
the G. A. r. men themselves beginning to
take hand In the work of keeping that
roll free from contamination by placing on
1t unearned pensions to undeservlng men.
