Poisonous Nutmeca.

twill doubtless surprise many to learn
that in nutmegs we find a powerful
poison, generally believed to be Of the
narcotic order. 1t is only comparatively
recently that cases of poisoning by it
have been recorded in this country, prob
ably for the reason that. being 30 uni
versally considered harmless, when dan
gerous or fatal consequences have fol-
lowed It's use the cause has been over
looked. The quantity of nutmeg which
1t Is necessary to take to produce serious
symptoms has never been estimated. In
one case, however, one and half nut
megs, 1t is said, caused in woman
stupor, followed by excitement, with
signs of collapse.
DIR. Waugh has recently reported the
case of woman who was advised by her
neighbors TO eat nutmegs for the relief
OF dyspepsia duo to constipation. One
forenoon che ate five of medium size.
No unpleasant symptoms followed until
some nine or ten hours aftcrward. Then
she became sick to her stomach, giddy,
and had n chill, accompanied by vomit-
ing, headache, dryness of the mouth and
throat, and q sore, strained sensation in
the eyes. Her sight became affected.
and she complained that everything APP
peared misty. When the chill passed
Off. slight fever and sweating followed,
with intense, throbbing headache. Under
proper treatment this woman recovered.
In her case no narcotic symptoms appear
ed, but that does not prove that nutmegs
are not Of the narcotic order Boston

j. II. Hale, South Glastonbury, Conn.,,
says: Successful peach culture depends
first on healthy trees, secondly upon a
proper temperature in winter and lastly
upon what varieties we plant. AS to the
first, the leaf curl, the borer and the yel-
lows are the chief causes of unhealthi-
ness Tho curl is of little account and
can be got rid Of by stimulating rapid
growth wherever IL Is seen. The borer
has killed more trees than all other causes
combined. More than three-fourths of
tho cases of SO called yellows can be laid
to it, and yet, with little care. he is not
such bad fellow to handle--a sort of
pest that needs watching-and knowing
his habits you can easily keep him out,
or, when once in the tree, readily get at
him; but we have found prevention bet
ter and cheaper than cure.
To prevent tho deposting of the eggs
is our first object. We therefore an
nually apply wash for two purposes;
first, to smooth the bark, and second, TO
keep this insect away.
For a common bucketful two quarts
Of strong, soft soap, half pint of crude
carbolic acid, and two ounces Of Paris
green, with water and lime enough to
make thin paste that will adhere to the
tree; il convenient wo add little clay,
which assists in making II stick; this we
apply with q swab or brush ut tho base
OF the tree and in tho crotches of the
main branches.

THE CARE OF EWES.

nev and When 10 Feed the Animals for
Most Successful Results.
American Agriculturist has tho fol-
lowing to say on feeding ewes:
When ewes are fed exclusively on drv
food there Is danger that they will be-
come feverish and constipated. When
this condition arises they will generally
show It by lying on the ground and
stretching themselves and straininp.
Sometimes they will pluck at their wool
and show signs Of distress and uneasi-

they are not in good health to have
young. They will not provide as much

SCAB IN POTATOES.
Causes Of This Disease and tho Best Known
Preventiycs.


Preventivcs.
There Is prevailing belief that ex-
treme humidity favors the development
OF the disease, but what further influ-
ence the character of the soil has In pro-
ducing It IL not positively known. During
the year 1887 number Of trials were
made at the New York agricultural ex-
pera'ent station, in which it was shown
that an excess Of moistL o and the use
Of fresh stable manure materially in
creased the number of scabby potatoes.
The data obtained are summed up as fol-
lows; 81. The scab is not primarily caus-
ed by fungus 2. 1t is not due TO the
work Of insects. 3. In nearly every in
stance an increased yield was accom-
panied by an increased percentage OF
scabby potatoes. 4. Any marked change
in the rapidity OF growth, either an in
crease or decrease, tends to an increas-
ed production of scab. o. A continuous
growth from the time Of first vegetation
until the tubers are fully matured ap-
pears TO be the condition least favorable
to the production Of scabby potatoes"
Extensive experiments with remedies
for scab make it appear that special COM
mcrcial fertilizers, while not infallible
specifics against scab. are moro or less
efficient. Mr.. +. S. Carman says on the
subject: "We have used as much as a
ton OF potato fertilizer-which is strong
in potash-to the acre, and yet we har-
vested clean potatoes, with smooth skins
and without scabs. Not SO when fresh
farm manure is used. This with us al
most always causes scab by attracting
wire worms, which cat into the skin aud
give the potato the same corroded sur
face as the fungus causes" Those who
were present at tho harvesting Of The
Rural New Workers. potato contest plot,
where the fertilizer used was the Mapes
potato manure, at the rate Of 1,76O
pounds to the acre, with a sprinkling of
sulphur in the trenches, will remember
that the large product was singularly
free from scab. DIR. +. NJ. Hexamer and
DIR. Henry Stewart are numbered among
other experimenters who have expressed
the opinion that special commercial fer
tilizers are eficacious and to be pre-
ferred in potato culture to fresh farm

Photographing tho Aurora Borealis.

DIR. kayscr has succeeded in Obtaining
a photograph of the aurora borealis from
the summit of Mount Rigi in Switzerland.
This is an interesting fact. it having
hitherto been regarded as impossible to
photograph the aurora for want of n plate
sufficiently sensitive to be impressed by its
rays. Gunther, in his well known physi-
cal geography, declares it to be utterly
impossible to photograph the aurora, the
most carefully prepared plate remaining
neutral when exposed to the aurora's
rays. DIR. Kayser resorted to special
precautions and employed colored dry
plate--the azalin trocken-platte.-New

PRUNING SHRUBS.


Prscticai Directsoas On . Subject Not Csa-
orally Understooi.
Shrubs, when properly planted In deep,
rich soil, demand comparatively little
care, but show shall these DO prunedr
is question often asked. There can
perhaps be no safer answer than the fol.
lowing, furnished by as high authority
as Garden and Forest,
Severe pruning tends 10 enfeeble either
shrub or tree, and the removal Of large
branches usually interfcres with the
natural and. therefore, most graceful
outlines Of either. 50 far as any general
rule can bo laid down, It may be said
that shrubs will be the most vigorous
and in their best form the year through,
when no pruning Ia attempted beyond
the thinning out of the weaker and over
shadowed branches In order TO afford the
stronger ones better opportunity for
growth. The shearing Of shrubs into
formal shapes, such as cones and spheres,
or cutting of all the tops at the same
level. means. Of course, the destruction
both OF the health and beauty OF the
plant.
But when shrubs are used for special
purposes they require special treatment.
II abundant bloom is tho object chiefly
aimed at, the time and manner Of prun-
ing should be chosen with this end In
view. Shrubs which bloom early In the
spring. like Thunberg's spirea, for ex-
ample, form their flower buds on the
growth Of the previous year. II this
growth Is cut back in autumn or In early
spring, the flower buds, too, are cut
away and the bloom Of the year Is de-
stroycd. With such shrubs the proper
course Is to wait till the Towering season
Is over and then prune away consider
able portion Of last years wood.
This will encourage now shoots, which
will start at once and begin to make
Towering branches for next spring. On
the other hand, shrubs which flower late
In the season. like the Rose Of Sharon,
some Of the Tamasisks and the Great
Paniclcd Hydrangea, make their flower
buds on the wood that forms during the
growing season Of the same year. These
late Towering shrubs should be pruned
now, before tho new growth starts. II
the Hydrangea just mentioned is cut
back so as 20 leave but one or two eyes
on each branch Of last years growth,
these will put out vigorous shoots, each
Of which will bear at the extremity a
large panicle of flowers next fall.
These directions may be summarized
MS follows:
For general purposes, shrubs should
never be cut back 80 far as to impair
their vigor, nor be pruned so as to de-
stroy their natural outlines.
Shrubs which bloom early, on wood Of
the previous year, should not DO pruned
in autumn or in early spring when it is
desired to secure abundant flowers, but
Immediately after the blooming season.
Shrubs which bloom late, on wood Of
the current year, should be pruncd after
the leaves fall in autumn, or in early
spring before they start.

Things Told by Others,

Professor J. l.. Budd says "the best
time to prune fruit trees is when the
leaves are about two-thirds grown in the
spring"
A successful fruit grower says: Thin
out the grapes; remove every alternate
bunch, where they are thickly set, on a
branch or one vine, and see the differ
ence in the size Of the punches that are
left this fall when they ripen over those
ON vines aad branches not trimmed.
For near by market, says Orchard
and Garden, one of the best of the new
rawbcrrieS is Buhach, sometimes known
as Buhach No. 0. Unfortunately its
flower is pistillate and tho berry is too
soft for long transportation, although
large, handsome and of fine quality.

dftlou u should bc somewhat iaxativo

ments. Such foods are wheat bran, oats,
pea meal, beans and linseed meal Corn
is unsuitable for breeding ewes. ~ Il pro-
duces fat and heat
There is no animal which responds
with better results to succulcnt foods than
sheep and ewes with lamb. Potatoes do
not seem to be adapted 10 this purpose;
turnips are a natural food for ewes, as
well as for other sheep. Carrots are ex-
cellent, and 90 are beets and mangcls. A
few roots or small ration Of these, say
four quarts day. with bran and linsced
meal, will put ewes In most healthy
and vigorous condition, and at the same
time this combination Of foods will tend
to promote the growth and support Of
the fetus, and when the little lamb is
born II will have tho bone and strength
10 help itself, and Il will give far less
trouble to get II on Its legs and obtain its
sustenance from the mother.
There Is such a thing as feeding the
lamb before Il is born--to nourish and
strengthen II through the blood Of the
dam. This Is an important matter and
should never bc lost sight Of In the feed
ing Of the mother. This idea Is particu.
larly applicable to tho eve, as its off,
spring Is SO likely to be weak and more
or less helpless. II the ewes have not
been fed on such foods during tho win
ter, the sooner this Is done before lamb
ing time the better. The feeding should
be in limited quantities at first, not more
than gill a day for few days, then
gradually increase 10 quart or two,
according TO the size Of the eve. Three
parts Of wheat bran TO one part of lin
seed meal IS good proportion. fed twice
a day with the roots. Ewes may be fed
oats with roots and do well, but the bran
is almost Invaluable, ns Il will furnish
tho muscle and bone food required
When ewes are TO lamb soon, they should
not be fed on timothy hay, as it is not
proper sheep food. There Is nothing SO
good In all the list Of forage plants as
bright clover hay. Sheep will do well
on this food alone. up to the time OF
lanbing, M it ia the best balanced food
in the whole list. Tho ewes should have
access to water whenever they want It, as
they naturally drink but little ut time
