CORN FOR POULTRY.
why It Should Be Used Cautiously as
 Feed for Laying stock.

Feed Tor Laying Stoek.
 Indian corn, as a fattening food, ii valuable, but as a food for laying oF breeding stock, should be used in linn. ited quantities, if at ali. There is a tendency 10 use it more freely, because it is, for the amount of nutriment con. tained, one of the cheapest cereals to be had In addition to its fattening and heating qualities, there may be other reasons for more sparing use of Indian corn. as the following ex- tract from letter indicates:
 "1 have been having hard luck with my fowls, have lost quite a number, in what has seemed an unaccountable manner. The fowls were hearty and were fed liberally on wheat and h. much cheaper grain, the fowls have had about three parts corn to one part wheat. They would seem all right, and then would be taken with a rat ting in the throat, which continued for two o" three days, wien the fowls would die. I, of course, suspected canker in the throat, or some such ob- struction, but upon examination found nothing of the kind. A hen, affected in this manner, died this morning, and I concluded to satisfy myself of the cause of death by dissecting her. The windpipe was examined, and, ( {. na, nl was perfectly unobstructed. Clearly that was not the cause of death. When l opened the body l found the liver very greatly enlarged, several times as large as it ought to have been. and I suspect that this was the cause of the fowls death. 1 remember to have read somewhere that much Indian corn tended to produce liver disease, and l feel pretty well satisfied that this solves the mystery. l expect to feed less corn in the future, for l be- lieve, despite its cheapness, that it is tho most expensive grain fancier can feed, for it don't require the loss of many fine fowls, added to the first cost of the corn, to make it cost more than wheat, oats and barley. l wish the latter grain was more generally culti' vated, for it is a most excellent grain for fowls
 If any of our readers have facts to confirm or to contradict the idea that Indian corn induces liver disease, we shall be glad to hear from them. If il is true that it has this tendency it will probably be found to be greatly in creased by close confinement, for fowls which run at large, aud have ample exercise and abundant foraSe, can eat with impunity what would not be de- sirable for them in confinement As the writer states, if corn produces liver disease, it is not the cheapest grain that can be fed, though it's market quo tations might indicate it to be. It i= not the first cost, but the results that are produced, which measure the cheapness or dearness of the supply oi food for fowls, and it is far from i'm probable that, judged in this way, corn is. after all, the cheapest food for poul- try. The subject is worth investigate ing. Poultry World.

Good Compost a Never-Failing Source
 of Wealth.

A Good Compost Never-Failing Source
 of Wealth.
 Nothing should be more strictly saved upon a farm than all manurial substances. A good compost is a source of wealth from which the owner may confidently draw. Waste material of all descriptions, like wood ashes and slops, together with all the plant and animal remains to be procured, should be put into it. If slaughter house waste IS obtained cheaply add this together with fish scraps and nightsoil, With .his mix some good absorbent, rich in organic material, like loam, dry muck pr mulch. Of these the last two are the best In many cases two or three loads of this dry muck when mixed with the manure is as good, for all practical purposes, as the original manure itself, as all liquid and gaseous portions arc absorbed by the muck, so that nothing is wasted.
 To compost this, place layers of the material between layers of the absorb ent used; the latter should be four or five times greater than the manure. This should form neat pile, and water must be added from time to time in limited quantities to assist in fermentation and decomposition. If the dccomposing process is desired to be especially hastened lime may be added, When the whole material has been decomposod and the time has come to apply it, let it be thoroughly spaded over and mixed before using. This is one of the most concentrated fertilizers we can make on the farm, and for complete one nothing better can be obtained. However, its con- centrated form prevents its being ap- plicable to large fields, but for special crop it is very good. It may, nevertheless, be applied in connection with barnyard manure, and by mixing with it the usefulness of both may be increased R. r. Scllew, in Farm and Home.

THE SARGOSSA SEA.
4 Plant Found Growing In a Decidehl,
 Curious Manner.


 The name Sargasso sea is applied to . region of the Atlantic covered by a peculiar floating sea-weed, sometimes in tangled masses of wide extent and sometimes only in scattered plants. These fields of sea-weed were noticed by Columbus on his first voyage. to the alarm and amaZement Of his com panions. Since that time observation has shown that the number of these plants and their geographical position are practically unchanged. The prin- cipal bank of these plants, as located by Captain Leps, of the French navy, one of the most accurate of observers, Is between latitude 2l degrees and g degrees north, and longitude % de- grecs and i5 degrees west. A smaller bank lies between the Bahamas and the Bermudas.
 The Sargasso sea corresponds to the great center or eddy of the North At lantic system of currents, of which tho Gulf stream forms so important part. Concerning the plant which is found growing in this curious manner, it may be noted that it is usually four or five inches in length, with main stem branching into secondary ones, and there is no trace of root in the plant. Between the long, pointed leaves there are small round air vessels about as large as entrants, supported on short stems. These air vessels were at first thought to be fruits, and the plant thus received its name from Portu- guese word meaning grapes, but invcs- tigation has shown that these small bubbles are meant to serve the purpose of floats, as when they are cut off the plant sinks. Examination of several thousand specimens under microscope also shows the plant to be as absolute ly destitute of modification as of roots, and it is now accepted as a fact that the plant propagates only by division. There is Sargasso sea in the Pacific ocean, north of the Sandwich islands, but very little is known about it. Chicago lnter-Ocean.

IN FAIRFAX COUNTY.
A Growing Virginia Town and Its Many
Advantages.

Correspondence of THE EVENING STAR.
VIENNA, April 10, 1889.
The general and natural impression of Fair
fax county, from ride through it by carriage
or trains on the Washington and Ohio railroad,
or an inspection of its lower and southern por-
tons, is that it is fat and uninteresting and
neglected. Quite the reverse is the case about
Vienna, and a succession of hills and a rolling
country with lands in high state of cultiva-
ton, improved by many fine houses on the
more commanding heights, and the further
addition of pretty, modern cottages, especially
attract the eye of either the sum-
mer resident or the more substantial
seeker for permanent homes in the
way of farming. or the many
business enterprises. This place already repre-
sents and still holds out large field for specu-
lative industries. What was originally an ex-
perimental boom in real estate is now con-
verted into healthful and substantial market
for lands and houses and as it stands to-day,
the growing place of the country, SO ii looks as
if Vienna is destined to become pre-eminently
the representative town of Fairfax when it re-
ceiyes a larger influx of visitors. This. by
| reason of its good lands and crops. its intelli-
gent and thrifty class of people, the topography,
| and its great advantage for dairy and truck
farming and fruit growing already largely
! availed of. and the comparative nearne6s and
! accessibility of markets.
| Messrs. Salisbury and Hine are the chief
| owners and promoters of real estate interests.
and have shown great enterprise in laying out
attractive building sites the erection of many
pretty cottages and residences, and bringing
many strangers here to appreciate and avail
themselves of the advantages, now to be had SO
very reasonably, of the increasing demand for
| and growing value of lands and their outcome.
Mr.. Salisbury is now largely engaged in the milk
business, and daily ships from sixty to seventy
! five gallons to your market. The culture of
grapes is receiving also especial attention. one
or two persons combining themselves exclusively
to this industry. Fairfax G.. H. is five miles
! from here, this being the railroad station for
the surrounding country.
| The post-office contest is the all-absorbing
topic and partisanship runs high. Perhaps the
Falls Church plan of leaving the nominee for
the place to the choice of citizeus might work,
| though that seems open to objections. The
contest now seems to be between Mr. A. Free
man, the former republican incumbent and a
! prominent merchant, and Mr. Stats, who
| represents another faction. though himself
republican. The Cornet band, a credit to any
| town, gave very attractive concert last night
