HERE AND THERE.

Haul out your manure now and get
it out of the way before spring. BY so
doing the manure will be in better con-
dition for the crops.
When the spring rains come dc
not allow any of the water to flow into
the well. Grade up around the well SO
as to turn the surface water off.
Salt is said to be an excellent
fertilizer in peach orchards. A better
fertilizer would be twenty parts wood

One of the most important items of
poultry management is to keep the
drinking vessels clean. In order to do
this it will be necessary to wash out
clean every day or two.
O-Thousands of dollars worth of grain
is destroyed annually by mice, rats and
other vermin, that may be saved by
using half-inch wire netting under the
floors of stables and barns.
The properly-fattened animals
marketed the moment they reach the
points where further feeding would
entail a loss, are always profitable to
the feeder. But it takes good judge
to know when this point is reached.
Early in the season the fowls on
the farm can be made to do good serv-
ice if allowed on newly-plowed land.
Chickens will scratch industriously for
worms, and the number of insects
eaten by large flock daily is very
large.
The Matching of the tent caterpil-
Ter can, to great measure, be pre-
vented by going through the orchard
and picking off the clusters of eggs
that can be found upon the limbs
During the winters is good time to
do this while the foliage is off, as they
can be seen more readily.
Paint is an important substance on
the farm. 1t preserves the buildings
and adds to their appearance. Farm.
ers who neglect to use paint are not
economical. 1t adds much to the
value of everything on the farm, stops
holes and cracks and saves its cost in
single season.

two years old. 1t is not best with this
variety of fowls to breed from al
young stock. II the hens are young

pains taken on these points will result
in 9 better class of fowls.
Eggs used for setting should al

but a full supply is not always obtain
able. The cheapest and easiest mode
is to lay by a supply of dirt, either
from the road or the field, but 1t should
be perfectly dry, or stored in a dry
place, or it can not be used when the
necessity arises. In winter box one
yard square and six inches deep, filed
within an inch of the top with the dirt,
is just what the hens will appreciate.
The dirt may remain in tho box as long
as it is dry and clean, but should be re-
moved at least once week. By sprink-
ling few drops of solution of car
bolic acid in the dust bath, any I'M
pleasant odors may be removed, and
the dirt rendered more acceptable. =

MEDICAL experts, by the use of the Micro
scope, have recently discovered and classi-
fed specific living germs in the blood of all
persons suffering from Malaria, and say that
to cure the patient these germs must be
killed. Thirty years ago DR.. Shallenberger
advanced this theory as the correct one, and
prepared his Antidote for Malaria to de-
stroy these poisonous germs. If you have

The Abuse Of Christmas.

Etc York Star.
Mi. II. O. Bunner, in the Christmas
Puck, has a clever parody on Charles
Dickens, which he calls "a Christmas
SNAIL" Beneath its fun lies a serious
and well.founded protest against the
abuse OF Christmas. Mr.. Bunner de-
scribes a genial, whOle.souled fellow
named Booze, who tried on Christmas
h make all his friends and relatives
happy. He stuffed the children with
sweets and gave his friends oil mature
years handsome presents Of every sort.
Mi. Bunner, In his sketch, tells how
The Spirit Of Christmas carried Mr..
Booze around and showed him the effects
az his e~xtravagance In presents. "You
have SEEN" said the Spirit, "a beautiful
holiday profancd by shallow vanity and
foolish indulgence. You have Q 9
children robbed OF the joysof childhood,

luxury, and grown men and women
aiding to carry on this mad riot OF ex.
travagance and ostentation, spending
more than they can afford, bartering the
more kindly generosity Of a more whole
some time for a Bordid lottery Of inter.
changed gifts"
The nature Of Mr.. Burners sketch for.
bids that he should comment on all the
abuses OF Christmas. Those that he re.
iers to are both serious and degrading,
but there is another class Of abuses that
carries, we think, more serious conse.

The @conmltteos aud MI, carlisle.

EsR York Tribune,
It Is rather surprising that Mr., Carlisle
should allow such an Interview 70 come
from him as appeared In the Sun yesteF'
day, and yet the contrast between the
promptness with which the committees
were announced in this Congress and
his delay In the Fiilieth must be q little
dppressing, He hesitated and delayed
action until after the holidays, though
lie did not have 10 reorganize q House
lust rescued from the opposition as
Speaker Reed did. Mr., Carlisle says he
was not authorized to name the Commit
tee on Ways and Means and on Appro'
priatlons among the first, but he knows
very well that he could have been au'
thorized II he had so desired, In fact,
his delay till January was caused by his
unWllllngness TO name the Committee on
Ways and Means earlier.
Mi. Carllsie's statement that business
ID not iurthered by the early appoint
ment OF Ways and Means and Appropri,
ATOMS Is belled by ths,prompt report OF
the District Of Columbia. appropriation
6ill by one committee and theyery tariff
hearing In vacation before the other
which he himselfis attending, Mr.. Car.
isles further statement that no business
can DO transacted until the rules are
adopted Is c%ontroverted by tho fact that
two small appropriation bills have
already passed without amy rules, except
those relating 10 committees, In fact,
there is no trouble in doing business
in the House under tie general pHrlia'
mentary law. Congress IL not depend
ent for The transaction Of business upon
rules, The common parliamentary law
Is much better than bad rules, Rules
ara only regulations established by the
majority embodying the methods which
that majority deems suitable for the
general transaction Of business, II the
minority under the leadership Of Mr..
Mills should insist that they alone could
make rules then tyranny, which is the
control Of the many by the few would
begin.
In the event OF 8Ir. Mills success In
blocking Congress and preventing the
adoption OF such rules as the majority
desires, then the House would fall back
on the general parliamentary law, under
which perhaps business could be better
expedited than under any set Of rules
that even the Republicans would be
likely to Rdopt.
