CLARA Barton,
AND HER Tx .INED NURSES, MINIS.
TERING TO THE STRICKEN
PEOPLE.

The presence of Clara Barton and
her assistants is felt everywhere in
the flooded district. They walk noise
lessly about in the church used as a
hospital, easing the sufferings of the
wounded. Their advent at Johns
town was a benediction. They are
ministering angels of Christian love
and pity.
Clara Barton is a native of Maine,
She was teacher in early life and
founder of some free schools i'm New
Jersey. In 1854 she went to Wash
ing ton to be clerk in the government
service. She resigned at the out
break of the war and went into hospi-
tai service. Clara Barton appeared in
Strasburg the morning after its cap
itulation to the Germans with a scar
let cross wrought in her sleeve above
the elbow. Her humane work was
carried on in Paris after the fall
of the Commune. When the Missis-
sippi overlooked it's banks in 1884,
Clara Barton appeared laden with re-
lief. Her work in America, additional
to what has been mentioned, has re-
lieved the sufferers of the Ohio floods,
Michigan fires, Charleston earth
quake, Texas drouth, Mount Yer
non tornado, and now the awful ca
lamity at JohnstOwn.
Clara Barton is president of the Am
erican Red Cross. The Red Cross is a
confederation of relief societies in diff
ferent countries, acting under the
Geneva convention. In Geneva Is
held once a year meeting of the So
ciety of Utility, which is the Interna-
tional Committee of the Red Cross.
The motto of the American branch OF
the organization is: "Relief in war.
famine, pestiIence and other national
! calamities."

Keep Shady.

This is the advice the darby gave
his pal, and it is good advice this hot
weather, no matter who gives it. To
keep shady with the thermometer 80
degrees in the shade may not be easy,
but under one of Wolfson's parasols,
it is no trick at all. He has them all
widths, Is inches, 20-22-2426, any
size you want. All patterns, all fab
RIGS, all weights, all styles of handles,

to $500. No trouble to keep shady if
you let WOlfson shade you.

RAISING Celery plants.

For the raising of young celery
plants, piece of land should be light,
friable and moist. Stiff clay soils ane
about useless for this purpose, as the
seed. ifit vegetables, is liable to do
poorly in the young stages, and, even
if it should grow passably we'll, it is
almost impossible to get any roots with
the plant when taking up to set in the
rows. A piece of land that has stand
ing water within few feet of the sur
face, or soil that is porous enough to
be always moist, is just the place for
raising plants.
The soil should be first spaded or
plowcd-better spaded for this crop,
as it does not take much land to grow
many thousands of plants. Make the
land of an even and fine filth by the
rake, and then sow in rows a foot apart.
To keep the feet from unevenly press
ing the soil, take footboard for stand

over the whole soil, is beneficial also
to the young seedlings. Some lay the
ground out in beds of six feet wide,
first with an alley between; the tread
ing then can be done in the alley, but
patting with the back of the spade,
or rolling with light roller, is highl,

Remedies for Insect Pests.

A large proportion of the insect
pests survive the winter in decaying
wood, sticks. boards, rails, dead vines,
stalks, twisted leaves, etc., from which
they emerge and deposit their eggs
simultaneously with the beginning
vegetation. Clean culture would pre-
vent this. The best insecticides nov
in use are hellebore, Paris green, Lor-
don purple, pyrethum and kerosene.
With London purple or Paris green
properly sprayed upon the trees, at
least three fourths of the apple crop
can be saved from the Goblin moths.
Worm eaten apples ought to be dis
grace to the fruit-grower. The larger
proportion of insects take their food BY
biting jaws, and they can be readily
poisoned by applying arsenite to the
oliage which they consume. Other
nsec's-snch as plant and bark llce-
feed only on the sap of plants through
prOboscis inserted in the bark
These can be destroyed by external ap.
plications of tobacco solutions, alkaline
washes, and kerosene.

Guinea Fowls.

Guinea fowls are not nearly so
much kept as they very we'll might be,
considering that they are, as a rule,
very profitable. They cost nothing to
raise; they prefer to seek their own
food in the fields, and seldom come
home for food as long as they can find
supply for themselves. AS a rule
they mate, and it is best to have the
sexes equal. The hen steals her nest,
but cannot refrain from making noise
when she comes off, which betrays her
to the watchful farmer. Guinea fowls
are valuable on farms when their range
is wide, as they destroy large mum
Der of insects so large as to almost
appear incredible, as they are active
and always searching. They also con.
sumo grass and young seeds, as we'll
\ as the seeds of the undesirable plants
and grasses,
A breeder of this variety of orna-
mental fowl, some time ago wrote that
it is usual for the guinea fowls to lay
in the nearest hedge bottom, or among
group of nettles. One soon finds out
where the nest is by observing when
the cock is alone and watching to SEE
from what direction the hen returns
She will certainly do her best to hide
the eggs by picking fresh grass and
laying it upon the eggs. which lie on
the ground, not in any regular nest.
A guinea hen will begin to lay
about the end of April or the beginning
of May, and will generally produce
altogether about hundred eggs. She
may, perhaps, show sign of wanting to
sit; this must not be allowed, and she
will soon begin to lay again. 1t is not
advisable to set any eggs later than tn
second week in June, because they
take month to hatch, and the chill
though quite easy to raise in June and
July, will probably succumb to tn,
first cold if Matched later. Wher
young they need chopped eggs, and
is also we'll to supply them with
insects; sod full of ants is a capital
thing to bring them.

ONE THOUSAND HENS Il have be-
fore me long letter from man who
has kept 100 hens for the past year,
sold the eggs in Chicago market, and
made clean profit of SI.20 per head
on each hen kept. This has encouraged
him SO much that he wants to keep a
thousand hens. He says that he does
not see any reason why one thousand
or fifteen hundred hens cannot be kept
on one farm, and managed so as to
make them pay as much profit per
head as the smaller flock, and feels sure
that he can do it, if he only gets start
ed right. He wants my advice about
houses, yards, breeds, everything. His
idea is to 60 ahead and build houses
enough to accommodate a thousand
hens, and buy up during the summer
and early fall all the good pullets and
one. year old hens he can fud, so as to
be ready for business the first of Oc-
tober.
My friend, there isn't any reason
why thousand, or fifteen hundred, or
two thousand hens cannot be kept on
one farm, and made to pay as much
profit per head as you have already
made from your smaller flock, and you
can do it if you get started right, and
keep on right after you are stated.
But do not advise you to put up
houses and buy up thousand hens
during the coming summer and early
fall. If you do, you will come out at
the little end of the horn as sure as you
are born. That way OF getting into
the thousand hen business has been
tried time and again, and the attempt
has always resulted in loss, and utter
DISGUST with the whole hen business.
You have 100 hens now; raise from
them hudred and fifty pullets this sea.
son. Raise good ones. Next fall. OF
rather as soon as your old hens let up
on laying next summer, send fifty of
the poorest ones to market Then you
will have 200 layers for next winter.
IF you succeed with 200 as we'll, make
them pay as we'll as you did the 100,
then next year add another hundred or
so to your flock, and keep on increasing
that way until you get your thousand
hens, or as many as you can manage
probably. But, if your 200 hens do
not pay you as much per head as the
100 did, don't ada another hen to your
flock until you can make them pay as
we'll. You won't get your thousand
hens SO soon this way as the other, but
you will get more money, and take it
the money is what you are after.
About the breed: Since your object
IS to get eggs for market, stick to your
Leghonrs. You have succeeded we'll
with them and what is the use of
changing? For Matching you will have
to keep some hens of a setting breed,
or get an incubator. Get your chick
