rARM ESD eARpEN MOVIES.

Plant plenty of peas.
Clean your oats before sowing.
Get your onions in as early as possible.
To have tender lettuce don't sow thick.
Use hemp Irvine this season if you can
get it.
Red raspberry honey is pronounced de-
licious.
A loose, slack-looking apiary is unpar-
donable.
Keep fowls constantly supplied with
pure, fresh water.
Our best and most successful men have
been reared on the farm.
1t is time for farmers and dairymen
to pick up breeding stock.
Insist on a careful straining of the milk
Immediately after it is drawn.
Good tools arc essential to farming, a
saving in time and cost of labor.
The boy on the farm is used to more
consideration than he generally gets.
When setting the hen sprinkle flour of
sulphur in the nests to keep down the
lice.
The working Of the land just now is
the all important matter for profitable
farm.
A top dressing of ashes may with adj
vantage be applied to corn just after COM
ing up.
Keep the harrow running lengthwise of
the corn rows until the corn is too high
to admit of it.
To be too fiery is fault in a horse
drawing heavy loads on an uneven road.
For this work strong and slow horse is
better.
Many people think that cool, damp
place is the best in which to keep honey.
But the Michigan Fdrme, says it should
always be kept in warm, dry place.
A good article of butter or cheese
really costs no more than an inferior one.
The production is no more; the differ
ence is that in the one case it is done
right and the other wrong.
The draft horse derives his power from
several sources-the development of those
parts which constitute bulks, the energy
OF its muscular action, and the firmness
and hardness of its organs.
Tests made by Professor Golf, of New
York, appear to warrant the conclusion
that potassium sulphide and hypo-sul-
phite of soda, applied in a spray, are
both Of value in preventing mildew on
the gooseberry.
A horse for drawing loads, to be well
formed, ought to be high in front, hav-
ing high and protective withers, large
chest, front legs strong and we'll spread
apart, back and loins straight, hindquart
ers little depressed, muscular, short in
the flank, large sinews.

THE POTATO CROP.

One OF the most valuable of farm crops
is potatoes. 1t may easily realize $50 per
acre for feeding stock alone at the rate of
twenty-five cents per bushel, at which
price 1t can be most probably used. A
bcIated crop can never make up for lost
time. A forward crop escapes the later
dangers. SO that now this crop should
be pushed ahead by frequent cultivation
and whatever fertilizing can be afforded.
Inc ground should be thoroughly loosened
oetween the rows at once, and no other
implement is better for this work than the
common "bull-tonguen pillow, which.
when run in the middle Of the rows, mel
lows and opens the soil for the spread of
the roots. This cannot be done later.
After this the use Of light harrow in the
rows, with dressing of gypsum, will
help the crop very much.-NeO YorG

REMEDY FOR CABBAGE WORMS.

The green cabbage worm is a trouble
some pest almost everywhere that cab
bages are grown. II is the caterpillar of
a small, white butterfly with black spots
on its wings. These may be seen fiyinp
over the cabbage field, in great numbers
all through the summer, depositing their
eggs ON every plant. To keep the
worms at all in check requires the almost
continuous application of some strong in
secticide. The trouble may be greatly
lessened by poisoning as many Of the but
terfiies as possible. To do this, attach
artificial flowers securely TO the top of
sticks eighteen TO twenty inches long.
and cover the flowers with arsenic mixed
with sugar, or with sweet paste of any
sort. Put these sticks into the ground at
frequent intervals throughout the field :;
the butterflies will be attracted to the
flowers, and will get enough of the
poison to give them an effectual ouietus.
Besides the saving of labor, this is n
much better method than to risk the too
frequent application of strong insecticides
to the plants. Arsenical poisons should
never be applied after the plants have
begun TO head. -American Agriculturist.

A shower Of wild Fowl.

the citizens Of San Tomas, in the Mexi

free mess Of waterfowl. During a VIC.

probably returning from their winter
roost IN the tropics--came down head
long on the market-place Of the little
hamlet, where they Topped about in a
helpless way and we're collared by dozens
before they could recover from the effects
Of their fall. The winged wanderers
seem 70 have been caught in the whirl Of

probably quote as a memorable iudo-

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
STONE FRUITS.

II is the seed that exhausts in fruit pro-
duction. This is especially true of large
seeds inclosed in stones. The proportion
OF seed TO the fruit is proportionately
greater in the cherry, plum and peach
than in the apple or pear. In the de-
velorment of seeds, potash is very es-
sential. Trees that oyer-bear have the
growth Of their fruit checked at Just the
point where seed development ought to
begin. In the grapevine the exhaustion
from overwhelming causes the vine to
miidew and refuse to ripen either fruit or
wood. Thinning the punches early and
applying liberal dose of potash salts are
the best preventives Of this diseased con-
dition OF the vine. ---BostoR Cultirdtor.

viii apply to roots, which should be thor

as properly dried both plants and roots
should be packed away in boxes or other
wise so as to exclude them from the air
and preserve their valuable properties
whether aromatic or medicinal. For
home use the cheap paper bags now so
common answer the purpose well. These
should be marked with the name of the
variety and hung up or laid away in n
dry place until wanted. Quite a number
OF plants that might be named are found
growing in fields and along roadsides, of
which some should be gathered and pre-
served for their medicinal qualities

thing that should not be neglected. 9th
erwise they will quite often be wanted at
season when they cannot be gathered,

QUEER LOVE MAKING.

A Description of COurtship Among the
Remote Tribes of the Kafirstan.
A Kafr, having fixed his affections
upon some female, acquaints his par
ents with his intentions. They apply
to the girls parents, and if the latter
do not consent to the union fight is
inevitable. If the parties agree the
next proceeding is to appoint two ex-
pert female negotiators. who obtain
access by strategem to the house with
the object of broaching the subject to
the young lady. They carefully avoid
any sudden or abrupt mention of the
awful subject of their mission, but
launch out in praises of the man who
seeks her hand. They speak of his
possessions, his courage and accom-
| plishments. The girl, pretending to be
affronted even at these remote hints,
grows refractory and runs away, tear
ing the ringlets of her hair as she re-
/ tires. The female ambassadors, having
| got the consent of the parents, drag
her from her concealment and carry
nef py 1oFco 10 inc mousse ol hef ueS-
tined husband, and there leave her.
She is compelled to live hese several
days, silent and detected, refusing food,
till at last, if kind entreaties do not
prevail, she is made to submit by blows
to the union. The Kafr who has the
reputation OF having committed mum
