helpful Hints and Suggestions on Many
Points of Importance.
Ashes tighten up a stiff soil and aid
to make loose soil loamy.
In growing berries for market the
good point is to have them snowy, firm
and well-havored.
The soil in which the grapes are
grown should be well drained and also
given thorough cultivation.
The effect of using small potatoes for
seed may not be shown to any extent
with the first crop but is certain to do
velop sooner or later.
When it can be had southern slope
is best for grapes. Plow deep aud
thorough and work into a good filth
before planting out the vines.
The hot-bed and boxes of plants
growing in tho house should be aired
on every occasion that the weather
will permit; thriftier, stockier plants
will result.
There is no question but that in GER
tain localities the growing of special
varieties can be made very profitable.
With fruits and vegetables, as with
other crops, the aim should be to grow
what the market demands.
Very often considerable benefit can
beAgivel to the blackberry and rasp-
canes by nipping back, thereby
'.-9evehting too tall growth, produc-
ing more side branches and giving
stockier, thriftier canes.
With fruits and vegetables thorough
cultivation is as important as with any
other crops. Very often failure to give
this is the principal cause for not real
izing profitable results. The work
should be commenced early and be
continued all through the growing sea-
son. Where fruits and vegetables are
raised for market at this time earliness
is quite an item. A few days delay
will often make the crop improbable.
when the same crop set in earlier
would have yielded good profit.
In competing with Southern mar
kets, nearby growers have the advan-
tage of freshness only. If, in addition
to this, care is taken to send none but
the best quality and to have that in
good, marketable condition, good
prices can be realized that under other
conditions would be impossible.
While, with any thing like favora-
BILE season, prices for the common
grades OF fruit often fall below the
actual cost, it is rarely the case that
first-class fruit, marketed in neat, at
tractive condition, can not be sold at a
price that will leave fair per cent. of
profit to the grower. 1t is the lower
grades of fruit rather than the best
that are over-produced.
There are many farms where nut
trees-chestnuts, pecan, walnut and
hickory-can be grown to a decided
advantage. and in addition to furnish
ing good supply of nuts for the WIN
ter, they will provide good shade in
summer, and add much to the appear
ance and value of the place. Care
should be taken not to set them too
clos1 ALLOW space for them to grow
and Spread out. With trees set out for
shade or ornament, or in the orchard
for fruit, with small fruit plants, with
shrubs and flowers in the yard. as well
as with plants in the garden, care
should be taken not to set too thick.
In order to make a strong, vigorous
growth, plants must have room to
grow according to their size; there is
no possible benefit to be gained by
overcrowding- Louis Republic.

POULTRY DISEASES.


Wrought by the Aaliction.
Has it ever occurred to the readers
of this paper, or more particularly to
those who are in the poultry business,
that perhaps quite Z number of fowls
dying may be afflicted with consump-
ton? | have no doubt q great many
fowls in this country die yearly from
the above disease. | have, in several
instances in the last year or so, found
uumistakable evidence of the disease
in several fowls purchased at the
grocery for table use.
Very frequently have l heard farm
ers complain of their chickens dropping
off. and they can not account for it.
only they suppose they have the
cholera" Might we not as well pre-
sumo it was tuberculosis? At present
literature is somewhat limited on avian
tuberculosis; although writer's have
from time to time, in the past, given
descriptions OF isolated cases of the
disease. 1t was impossible for some
time to tell whether the disease was
genuine tuberculosis or not. But after
the bacillus was discovered by Koch,
which gave Psychologists some criterion
to go by, the genuineness of the dis
ease was soon discovered.
A well-known writerin England, who
has given the disease in fowls quite
bit of study. says: "a farmer having
lost u large number of fowls in q short
time, requested him to examine into the
cause, giving him permission to use
the remaining fowls in any way he saw
fit to fully acquaint himself with the
disease, and he soon found out the true
cause, and the disease to be tuberculo-
sis. In this time he had been furnished
with great number of fowls from other
poultry-yards throughout England, and
found the disease to be widely spreaT
1t seems, too, that the disease differs
very much from most known forms of
tuberculosis, in that the LESSONS peculiar
to the disease (tubercular deposits) are
mostly found in the alimentary canal
and the associate viscera, which are
the parts most exclusively affected.
Writers who have inquired into the
disease have been struck by the myr-
lads OF bacilH present In birds SO affect
ed. and those who have cultivated the
bacillus are unanimous in the opinion
that it thrives best at a temperature
varying from 81 degrees C. to SO de-
grees, the average temperature of
fowls being about 40 degrees c., and
this increase of temperature over that
of man may explain the luxuriant
growth of the bGciIi.
The writer further on says: II feel
confident, ii due attention be directed
to this disease in various parts of the
world, it will stand a good chance of
being included in the diseases commu-
nicated to man from the lower animals
The list Of fatal cases OF tuberculosis
occurring in man. appalling though it
be, is small compared to tho relative
mortality from this disease among the
grain-eating moinbers of the feathered
tribe. Cor. Cincinnati Commercial

i Dancing at EightY-Five.

The island Of Nantucket is OF the track
of the modern world. The people and their
customs are very unlike those in any other
part of the world-the "off-island part
as the Nantucketers are won't to call it.
Old-fashioned customs and habits prevail.
They know but little about the tangled
manners and methods of modern social life.
They follow the beaten paths of century
ago, live simple, thrifty, laborious lives, and
furnish little business for the doctors.
They thrive financially and physically.
A visitor at an evening gathering on the
island, not long since, tells how one lady,
aged ninety-one, presided at the piano, and
another, aged eighty-fve, danced. "And
you may take my word for it," adds the
visitor, "that the dancing was enough
dancing, if one might judge from the lady's
swapping eyes, nervous speech and decisive
character"
Locality and climate would seem to have
comparatively little effect on health and
longevity if people lived simply, as nature
dictates, and when ailing built up with
NATURES simple remedies, like Warmers
Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, instead of pulling
down the system by using poisonous miner
al drugs.

ana went to the house of Carl Olsen, where she
died. She was not related to this Olsen family,
Dut had become acquainted with them at faith cure
services in Temperance Hall. in Hamilton-ave
She refused 10 have a physician; saying she was
ready to die if it the Lords will, and she was
unwilling to go to hospital The family held
iaith cure exercises IN her room. but when she
grew worse early in the week Mr.. Olsen called in
physician to keep within the bounds of the law.
DIR. A. W. Ford. Of No. o2 Union-st.. attended the
woman and ordered medicines. but she said she
would not take them. and the prescriptions were
not compounded
Ut. Ford was sent for again when the girl was
dying. but when he reached her bedside she was
dead. He said that she was suffering from
typhoid fever. but if proper care had been taken
by the Olsen family she would have recovered.
lie added: " The girl died through their neglect.
There is no doubt about 1T. and the only thing
they did was to nurse her and perform their hell
lsh ncantatons over her, waving their arms above
her. pattlng her on the body and praying for her
cure. They are responsible for the girls death
and should be taken in charge, and these out
ngeous ceremonies that they go through with,
even IN the face of death, put stop to-" Olsen
said that none of his family believed in the use
OF the skill of physicians to cure bodily ills. They
and the dead woman believed that when the time
came to die no earthly help was of avail The
woman was resigned to her fate. A few months
ago child of Olsen, age four months, died 1t
