the wet grass in the morning or after
showers, the chicks are very likely to
take cold and die. The young birds
should be confined in pen or coop until
they are strong enough to bear the ia
tigue of wandering about the field. For
the first day after the chicks are Matched
they should not be fed or disturbed. If
the eggs hatch irregularly, then the first
chicks to come out should be removed
and fed when twenty four hours old, and
returned to the nest when all the eggs
are Matched. The first food should be
stale bread, moistened with milk or water.
When few days old corn meal, cooked
rice and similar food may be given, but
only in such quantities as the chicks will
eat up clean each time they are fed,
which should be at least four times day.
Lice on turkeys and chickens are readily
destroyed by scattering flowers of sui
phur in the nests where the mother
broods them. In setting hen turkey
tablespoon of sulphur should always be
thrown in the nest at the time Of giving
the bird the eggs, and this will prevent
lice breeding on the old bird or dnfeSting
the chicks. In regard to employing con-
mon barnyard fowls as mothers for tur
keys authorities differ. Some claim that
the hen turkey is never so good a mother
as the hens of our ordinary barnyard
fowls, on account of her natural roaming
habits, while others are quite as pro-
nounced in her favor. But as the eggs
of our barnyard fowls hatch in from
eighteen to twenty-one days, while those
thirty, there is danger Of the common
hen abandoning her nest at the end of
her natural period of incubation of three
weeks. The Brahmas, Cochins and
similar large and heavy breeds of fowls
are usually large enough to sit month if
necessary. and for this reason make very
good mothers for turkeys.-Neoo York

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Little pigs are said to thrive well on
oats fed whole.
Only the purest and best salt should be
used in the dairy.
A rubbing post is one Of the essentials
of every COW pasture.
Farmers report that horses like ensilage
and hogs do we'll on it.
If shower drives you out of hay
field, start the cultivator.
It is poor economy to have a dull blade
In the harvest or hay field.
If you plant celery choose a piece of
low ground somewhat damp.
The question is disguised whether it is
necessary to weight the silo or not.
Condiments such as red pepper, ginger,
etc, should be fed sparingly to fowls.
Honestly strive to make your home,
field and garden the best in the world.
Cut the grass before it is too ri pc. You
will get more milk from the hay it
makes.
An Illinois farmer of large experience
recommends bailing hay direct from the
winrOw.
Pigs should have an opportunity to
range the fields. A pig-pen in summer
is an abOmination.
A good housewife never opens a con-
densed milk can with her husbands
razor, nor will loving husband curry
the horse with the nutmeg crater.
Ashes and plaster sprinkled on the
leaves when the dew is on, is a common
remedy for the flea beetle, which often
attacks potato vines as well as caulit1ower
and cabbage plants.
Persons owning bees and not located
near streams of water, are advised by
Massachusetts, Ploughnaaaa to furnish them
fresh water daily, as it will save time,
which to the bee means honey and to
the person means money.
Though some recommend chemicals
for keeping milk sweet, we know of
nothing that is so good as thorough
aeration as soon az drawn and then rapid
cooling to As degrees or so degrees.
Keep it as near this temperature as
possible.
Silos are not lined with building paper
simply to exclude frost. To have the
silage perfect it is necessary that the silo
be as nearly air-tight us possible. The
lining is to aid in securing this, so is es-
sential in the South as well as the North
ern States.
Professor Fernald, or the Massachusetts
Station, mentions that method of some
value in fighting the grape-leaf hopper,
which develops its wings in tnat State
the last of July or first Of August, is to
carry lighted torches through the vine
yard at night, beating the vines lightly
at the same time. The insects will be
attracted to the light as they fly from the
disturbed vines aud perish in the flames.

CREAMS.

Creams are a delicious dessert f01
summer, being light and refreshing, and
and have the merit of being very easily
prepared. Creams should be ice cold
when served. They may be favored
with anything desired-fruits, chocolate,
coffee or tea. Cakes should always be
served with creams.
Coffee Cream-Nake a pint Of rich
custard; dissolve one ounce Of gelatine
and three ounces Of sugar in a small cup
of very strong coffee; add the custard
and strain. Whip half pint of cream :;
stir with the custard; let cool and pour
in mold and set on ice to harden.
Strawberry Cream-Take pint of
ripe strawberries, put them on a sieve
and cover with sugar; dissolve two
ounces Of gelatine; put three ounces of
sugar and the juice OF a lemon, and set
on fire to heat. Strain the Strawberries;
add the gelatine; let cool; stir in half a
pint of whipped cream; pour in a mold
currants or other small fruit may be used
in place of the strawberries.
Pistache Crean-Dissolve half an
ounce of gelatine with three ounces Of
sugar in half a pint of water; add the
juice of one lemon and two oranges;
whip half a pint Of cream. When the
gelatine begins to thicken stir it in with
three ounces of pistachin nuts, blanched
and chopped fine; set on ice and stir
lightly until it begins to thicken.
Almond Cream-Melt half an ounce of
gelatine in a small teacup of boiling
water, with half a teacup of sugar; CRATE
four ounces of almond paste into it, and
stir over a kettle of boiling water until
dissolved; let cool; whip pint of cream
and stir lightly; flavor the gelatine strong
ly with lemon; set on ice.-Courier-

TIE ROSE BUG.

The rose bug is a hard insect to fight,
and we have had no practical occasion
to experiment with it in the work of the
Botanical Division of the United States
Department of Agriculture. The old
method was to knock the insect from the
foliage or fruit into a pan of kerosene
and water. This, however, is very slow
work and not practicable on large scale.
At River Edge, n. j., they found last
season that a mixture Of pyrethrum and
water made q very excellent liquid to
spray upon the vines. It destroyed all
of the insects which it touched and seemed
also to have preventive action. The
proper proportions can only be obtained
by further experiment. Colonel Pearson,
of New Jersey, has also found that the
original fungicide mixture of sulphide of
copper and lime and water sprayed upon
grape vines has both q poisoning and
deterring effect upon the rose bug. This
insect is one which [ hope to have good
series Of experiments made upon with a
view of determining just what is best to
be done.-PrQttSs0r G. 7. RtIey, In the
american Agricu5turjst.

THE SIZE OF APPLES.

The size of apples is more important
consideration than is sometimes thought.
A very large apple is not desirable, nor is
a very small one likely to be demanded
unless it has some very decided merit,
as with the lady apple or some of the
crabs used for decoration, or making a
superior conserve. An apple that under
good culture is Of full medium size, will,
other things being equal, be the most
profitable to the grower, because the
most satisfactory to buyers either as deal
ers or consumers. Two serious objections
exist to very large apples-the loss in
CURED by defect or injury Of a single
fruit ADD the difficulty of disposing of
them about the person, in pockets or 9th
erwise. No dealer likes to handle very
large apple, unless some particular beauty
or excellence enables him to get a very
large price for it.-Aeso York Voice.

WHY THRESH THE OATS?

Few thinking farmers are so behind
time Us not to know the value of bright
oat- stTaw for fodder. Nevertheless these
men, good calcuIators generally, go on
thrcshing the Oat crop and separating
grain from straw and then feed both to
the same animals, as if they thus i'm
proved the feed! Is not the work on the
farm hard enough without this useless
labor? The custom is q relic Of the past
and surely the day is not distant when
farmers will as soon think Of hulling oats
for feeding on the farm as of threshing
them Oats for sale will doubtless still
be threshed, although l incline to the be-
lief that many sheaf-Oats will be pressed
like hay, having their heads ell toward
the middle of the bale. This will apply
particularly to local trade.
All stock eat sheaf-oats with avidity,
and they constitute nearly 4 perfect food.
Run through a fOdder-cutter and moist
ened, they become, with addition of
little meal, bran or cOttOnseed, a good
ration for milch-cows, and the hardest
working team-horses keep sleek and fat
On the diet. Why should not farmers
everywhere place the crop, Immediately
ON hauling it from the field, in vermin-
proof bays or barns, or, better still, in
mouse proof stacks (Which are so easily
arranged), there to remain till fed2 The
time usually consumed in threshing oats
for the farm stock could be profitably
used in vacations, freed from care and la
Dor, and perhaps in visiting other farms,
and learning from other farmers meth

FRUITS INJURED BY BLEACHING.

Bleaching dried fruits has become
quite common, but no good reason can be
given for the practice. They look whittier
if bleached-so does the farmers hay
but the quality or natural fruit-favor is
always injured by the process. It is
done chiefly in evaporators, by adding
sulphur or birthstone when the fruit is
partly dried. The history Of its origin
is uncertain. Some one began it, and as
it pleased those commission dealers and
cooks who prefer whiteness to quality,
bleached fruit had a boom in price, and
other evaporator owners felt obliged to
follow. In some places there is already
a reaction. The quality Of the green fruit
can be told pretty we'll if it is of the natu-
raj color, but not if it is bleached. Eva
porated fruit is preferable to most sun OF
slow dried, as it is cleaner and, in damp
weather, mucl less likely to injury in
drying In future, intelligent and OBJ
serving consumers will patronize evapora.

The natural color of iron is gray, and
little care will keep iron vessels this col

CARPETS AND RUGS.

The hygienic disadvantages of carpet
dust have been considerably overrated.
In the homes of wealthy Turks, where
lung diseases are almost unknown, every
sitting-room and bedroom is often fur
nished with the heaviest wooden carpets,
which are rarely removed ofterer than
once in three years. Dust, under those
circumstances, can hardly be avoided
but of such impurities our respiratory
organs IN able to rid themselves by a
mere sitting process, and the true lung
bane is, indeed, not dust, but the subtle
poison of vitiated gases. The sanitary
statistics Of European cities prove that
teamster work, and even street-sweeping
are by no means incompatible with long
evity. Still, in rooms where dust is apt
to accumulate, movable rugs are, on the
whole, preferable to large carpets, which,
indeed, they have begun to supercede in
the model parlors of many sanitary estab-
ishments.-Felie L. Osuald, II. d.

THE UTILITY OF wINDMILLs.

Why is not the power of the wind
more often made available on farms for
doing light work? The windmill has
long been useful and in many localities
has been Synonymous with corn or flour
mill, cheaply grinding the farmers grain
and adapting itself automatically to the
changcful breezcs. And now that these
engines have been greatly improved they
seem to be vanishing out of use. This is
to be deplored. For the light work Of
pumping water, cutting fodder, grinding
grain, Smelling corn, thrashing, cutting
up ensilage, or cutting firewood, wind
mill may repay its cost at least once
every year, and with careful usage may
last forty or fifty years, or be replaced
piecemeal, as it wears, in that time, and
then be as good rs new. A windmill at
tached to barn or silo is an evidence
of good sense, thrift, and responsibility
of the farmer who owns it, and is to be
preferred before a great many of those
other things over which farmers waste
money uselessly.-NeW York Times.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
A HINT TO CABBAGE GROWERS.

AS cabbages increase in growth by the
heading process they have a tendency
sometimes to split open, which very
greatly diminishes the value of the head.
AS remedy, Mr.. J. J. Gregory, the noted
market gardener and scotsman of Marble
head, Mass, recommends going over the
ground and starting the cabbages that
appear to be nearly manure, tipping them
to one side. He says this tends to in
crease the size of the cabbage heads and
prevents their bursting. 1t is certainly a
very simple operation, and one well
worthy Of trial.-Neo0 York Ladependent.
