The Rare Lotus Flo yer.

dave you ever seen the Egyptian
lotus in full bloom? If not you have
rare pleasure to look forward to.
No wonder that the Egyptian hold it
in special esteem; indeed. they re-
gard it as sacred and as signifying the
creation OF the world.
The lotus. lotos, as you may prefer
the Latin or the Greek spelling, be-
longs to the families Of water lilies.
1t grows readily and luxuriantly in
this climate, and may be cultivated
in the open air by any one interested
in flowers. The blossom of the ordi-
nary pond lily floats upon the surface
OF the water. it's stem being too frail
to hold it up in the air. The lotus
flower. on the contrary, as well as its
leaves, rises some distance above the
water, and presents a spectacle Of al
most unriyslled beauty. The flower,
when fully expanded, is about ten
inches in diameter. It is creamy
white and pink in color, with yellow
center. and is very fragrant. It
opens in the morning and closes in the
afternoon.

Peas For Pigs.

+ "a
NO kind of grain is better for pigs,
or yet for fattening hogs, than field
peas. They require less labor than
corn. and for inducing thrifty growth
they are superior TO any grain. except
ing possibly wheat. A patch Of peas
ought to be sown expressly for the pigs,
and as soon as the peas are fully grown
hurdle fence moved from place to
place will enable the pigs to harvest
the crop themselves. While the vines
are green they will eat pods and leaves,
Dut as soon as the peas begin to ripen
the pigs become expert shelters. It is
an excellent crop to grow in orchards,
and the roofing Of the. pigs In search
OF scattered grains will keep the sur
face mellow and cover the droppinrs
which they make, thus insuring against
waste: TO grow peas in orchards and
iced them down with hogs there be-
comes q good way of keeping the trees
in best conditicn.

Roll Your Ground.

When ground is plowed for wheat
the roller should follow close after
the pillow. The plowed ground should
not lie longer than half day before
1t is rolled down. If the Jumps lie
Tor some days as they come from the
pillow, they will become so hard and
dry that 1t will be difficult to put the
seed bed in proper condition. If
rolled down at once. however, they
will absorb moisture from below, and
the elements will work such changes
that they will crumble very readily.

MOultlng Hens.

s Hens should be well fed and have
considerable nutriment of the kind
needed to make bone during the moult-
ing season. They need this to make
new feathers grow out quickly, and
also to shorten the moulding period.
II poorly fed the hens do not get into
full feather before winter, and then
will not lay until spring, however
sabundantly fed. But the hens that
lnoult early can. with good feed aud
warm quarters, be made to produce
eggs all through the cold season.

When q; pig, is nine or ten months

There is no need for the long hair

the hair prevents the skin from dry

cracking of it, and the resulting dis

Sulky Plows.

Except on very rough ground the
sulky pillow can be used. and where it
can be used it does better work than
the walking pillow, and the work is less
to the plowman. Besides, one man
can easilyshandle a sulky pillow cutting
an eighteen inch furrow slice. drawn
by three horses, and in a day pillow one
half more than with walking pillow.
Having two men do the work of three.
and do it even better, is a saving worth
effecting these close times.
