Kerosene in the Pouitr, Yard.

The many uses that kerosene NAV be
put to in the poultry yard make it an al
most Indispensable article to be charged
to the expense account, and no other arti-
Gle will so enhance the profit of the
poultry yards as kerosene diligently and
intelligently used. For painting the in
side of nest boxes for sitting hens there
is nothing equal to it, as it surely kills
all vermin with which it comes in con-
tact, and prevents other vermin from en-
tering the nest until it is entirely evapo-
rated, which, if the crude oil is used. will
give the hen ample time to hatch her
brood. \ few drops in the drinking
water occasionally has good effect upon
the general health of the flock, and for
colds or roup there is nothing better if
carefully applied. Scaly legs may be
cured by simply wetting the legs of the
fowls affected occasionally, and thecrude
oil Is best in this case also, as it takes a
much longer time to evaporate. When
the crude oil is not readily obtained,
some kind of heavy oil or grease should
be mixed with the kerosene to stay avap-
Grafton. As remedy for cholera it has
been highly recommended, according to
a correspondent in Fancier's Review.

Trausplantinc Large Trees.

Robert w. Furness, of Nebraska. who
has had long experience, advises as fol-
lows in regard to transplanting the larger
forest trees for ornamental purposes:
"Atl above one inch in diameter, to ill.,
sure success, should be cut back to six.
eight, ten or twelve feet, as taste may
dictate. | prefer six and eight feet
Prune off every limb, leaving the tree,
when planted, mere bare stem or stake.
Where cut off at top, and where limbs
are cut away, they should be painted
over with thick common paint, or, bet
ter, thick solution of gum shellao and
alcohol, The theory is that the first duty
"a transplanted tree has to perform is TO
get hold of and identify itself again with
the soil. Everything retarding this work
should be avoided. Where limbs are left
leaves put out soon, and the growth work
goes on in that direction, thus retarding
work under ground"

All medical authorities agree that ca,
tarrh is no more nor less than an inflam-
nation of the lining membrane of the ma
sal air passages. Nasal catarrh and all
catarrhal affections of the head are not
diseases of the blood. and it is serious
mistake to treat them as such. No con-
scientious physician ever attempts TO do
so. 1t is held by eminent medical men
that sooner or later specific will be
found for every disease from which hu-
msnity suffers. The facts justify us in
assuming that for catarrh at least a pos
tive cure already exists in Ely's Cream

Fertilizer Experiment with Corn.

Field notes made during 1899, also 1888,
by the farm superintendent at the New
York station, testify to the stockiness
and general thrift of corn plants where
nitrogen as nitrate, or sulphate, had been
applied. The amounts applied in most
cases produced an increase in the ratio
of stalks to corn, but had an equal, if
not greater. effect on the yield of sound
corn. Neither potash nor phosphoric
acid exerted a marked influence on the
crop. The application of plaster was
not followed by any increase of crop
above the general average. Nitrogen
alone increased the crop. Nitrogen with
either potash or phosphoric acid in
creased the crop. Nitrogen with both
potash and phosphoric acid increased
the crop.

that they were not sold. They pre-
vented public sale, but the men were
afterwards sold privately, and are now

this work they will not receive com

A PREDICTION.

Years ago an eminent geologist who
had traveIad over this section took &
map Of the United States aud putting
his finger on Southwest Virginia, said:
This is sure to become the wealthisst
part of the country, for here it is that
the best minerals are found. Iron can
be produced with greater economy in
Virginia than in any other section of
the United States.''
The geologist has been buried long
ago, but his prediction has come true
and the country he travelled over, when
it was scarcely more than q wilderness,
has exceeded his widest prophecies.
