Three Glasses of Fowls.

For long time poultrymen expected
to combine in one fowl all the excellen-
cies to be found in the various breeds.
The abundance and quality of the flesh
which characterizes the table fowl was
to be united to the wonderful prolifcacy
which marks the great layers. The ex-
pectation has not been realized; it never
will be. Antagonistic qualities can be
combined only by robbing them of their
antagonism. The great layer and the
great table fowl are differently constitu-
ted. with different dispositions, and con-
vert their food into different products
1t is probable that general purpose fowls
may be improved, that the incest balance
between their qualities has not been
found, but the ideal general purpose
fowl will never exist outside the imag-
ination of its admirers.
There is need of all three classes of
fowls. The man who raises poultry for
market requires the table fowl; the one
VINO produces eggs for general consump-
ton needs the great layer, and hundreds
and thousands of families which keep
fowls to produce eggs and poultry de-
mand the general purpose fowl. The
general purpose is unquestionably the
most popular fowl in the country, but
the other two classes are steadily grow
ing in favor, and as the number of those
who make business of keeping fowls
increases the popularity of these classes
will increase. S. Babcock in Stock.

Subsoil Flowing.

The subsoil plow follows the common
plow and merely stirs and opens the sub
soil without turning a furrow. The next
round of the common plow covers the
subsoiled furrow. Its benefit will de-
pend wholly ON the character of the soil.
Soils containing vegetable matter that
has not been drawn upon by the roots of
plants owing to the former shallow cul-
tivation will be improved by subsoiling
or deeper blowing. On undrained, wet
lands subsoiling would do more harm
than good. Its good effect consists in
deepening the soil and bringing more of
it under the influence of cultivation. 1t
would not dispense with manure; on the
contrary, as the feeding area of the
plants is increased more manure would
be required unless the surface soil is rich,
in which case subsoiling would not be
necessary Where land has been made
poor by long cultivation and carrying
away the crops with no return of plant
food to the soil it cannot be restored to
fertility by subsoiling or deep plowing.
Manure must be applied along with rest
and judicious rotation of crops.

Importance of Pure Water for Country

Illustrated and Described.
At this season of the year much i'm
pure water is used, causing great deal
OF the sickness which prevails in sum-
mer. Boiling the water before using it
modifies the danger. If used for tea or
coffee the process is quite simple. If for
drinking water it may be boiled and kept
till wanted in cold apartment or ice
house in corked bottles or jugs. When
there are mineral impurities that cannot
be removed by boiling the water it is
safest to use filtered rain water.
The late George Geddes for more than
quarter of century used filtered rain
water for all domestic purposes in his
family, and during that time there had

The New York Stock Market Opens the
Week in a ListIess Manner. and
but Little Business In

NEW YORK, June s0-Everybody expects
this week, owing to the ract that it is broken
by the holidays and that the preparations for
the disbursements will keep money scarce, will
be a dull and uninteresting one, and to-day did
much to verify the expectation. Alth ough
there is a general feeling that there will be a
material improvement In both prices and busi-
ness after the holidays, there is no disposition
as yet to buy on the favorable prospects, and
the tightness with which stocks are held offers
no inducement to the bears to make any special
attempt to break prices in the meantime. To-
days market, therefore, presented the usual
firm front where left to itself, and shows very
few features worthy of note.
