Rain storms and Poultry.

Diseases that affect fowls in winter, says
an exchange are more prevalent during the
continuance of rainy weather than during a
cold period. Cold, clear weather, when the
air is dry, seldom affects poultry unfavora-
bly,, and at such times there is nothing TO
prevent turning the hens outside, giving
them litter to scratch in and allowing them
to keep warm by healthy exercise; but
poultry of all kinds suffer from some one or
more of the various ailments due to expos
that seldom put in an appearance in dry
weather. The dampness is also fatal to
chicks during the winter. The best remedy
is shelter, warm. tight house, and the
fowls confined during damp days, or until
the weather becomes clear.

Waste Lands sor Fruit and Foresta

Waste Lands for Fruit and Forests
Prof Maynard, says an exchange. calls
attention to the fact that apple trees, re-
markable for their thrift and vigor, are
often found on land SO rough aud stony
that il cannot be cultivated. The fruit pro-
duced upon such land is noted for its high
color and rich flavor, and for bookkeeping
qualities. There are thousands upon thou
sands of acres of this kind of land, and
much of it is almost worthless for any
other purpose than foresty and the produc-
ton Of the large fruits, and, If properly
cared for, 1t would, in few years, give a
large income for the investment. In plant
ing such land, particular care must be given
to the preparation of the soil directly
around the tree, and to saving the material
ofton found growing upon it, such as
SedgeS, brush, etc, or obtained elsewhere to
be used for mulch, to prevent the escape Of
the moisture that is rapidly carried away
by the leaves or grasses and other plants.
The advantages claimed for the turf system
are, that the trees mature their wood much
earlier IN the autumn, and, consequently,
are less liable to injury from cold, the roots
are protected from injury from the ex-
tremes Of heat and cold by the grass roots

bear more regularly, the fruit is of better

Or selected Matter.

Discerning readers are well aware than in
any department of literature, whether it be
medical, theological, agricultural, or what
not, a paper or magazine that combines
.eclecticn features with the matter it
originates itself will be of more interest
and value than one conducted exclusively
with the latter material. however able its
limited corps of contributors and editorial
writers may be. Compared with the whole
number of thinkers and learned writers
throughout the civilized world the editorial
staff of the ablest conducted journal in the
world is a mere atom physically and intel
Iactually. It is impossible for such to cover
INIT the smallest part of the field of inves-
tiration and thought. There are able stu
dents and writers in every section of the
world that are engaged in specific lines, and
as individuals are developing thoughts and
sscertainiug facts that no other mind is en-
gaeed in developing. In order to afford a
nroupt and seasonable currency to the
freshest discoveries of the day, we must re-
sort at once to the written words of the
discerner, and due credit give him for
whatever may be valu lble-facts to be
given as such, and theories" given for just
what they are worth.
Our selected matter is now line by line
and. so far as possible, all palpable inappro-
priateness is guarded against. The thoughts
of the ablest writers and investigators in
the field of agriculture, horticulture and
kindred subjects in this country come to our
desk week by week, or month by month, and
it will be our endeavor to gather from them
much, if not all, of the good and helpful
teachings that they are qualified to give in
every department of rural effort. Not to
mention a hundred other sources from
which is emanating information useful d J
all classes engaged in the cultivation of the
soil, there are now at least fifty agricultur "a

jority who find their work in fields or gar
dens or orchards. We confidently look t
the stations for much practical instrw ctior
in all matters pertaining to rural life.

Government Aid to Agriculture.


Wnen some very wealthy and powerful
Athenian asked the philosopher Dlogenes
what he could have done for him the reply
came promptly, ''Only that you would not
stand between me and the sum- The farmers
occupy much such an independent position
with regard to aid from government, says
the American CuLtiUdt0r. AS the chief
producers OF national wealth, they nave
perhaps as good a claim as any to help from
the national treasury. But, unfortunately
for them, they have to pay large part of
the taxes, and if they get something back
it is only taking from one pocket and plac-
ing it in another, always minus certain in
eyitable wastages and stealings. Nature
works with and for the farmer. II govern
ment will only stand aside and let nature
work unobstructed, it is perhaps as well for
the farmer as anything government is likely
to do for him.
Whom government does try to help agri-
culture the efforts are usually so widely
misdirected as to do nearly as much harm as
good. OF appropriations by the general
government far tine largest share i5 de-
voted to seed distribution, and this is made
MALAY because members Of congress desire
this meaus of making friends with their
farmer constituents. Here goes fully $780,
600, foolishly expended in seeds that can be
better supplied by seedsmen with whom the
government is unfairly competing. Few
or no seeds are thus introduced. Usually,
after some novelty has been duly popular
lied, the agricultural department buys up a
lot of its seeds, to enable special friends Of
the congressman to try it without costing
them anything. These free seeds are no
boon even TO the recipients What costs
little is little esteemed. If the seeds are
planted they are often not half cared for.
In the meantime, as direct result Of gov
eminent aid, one of the most important
branches of farming, the growing and sale
of seeds, is Disseminated against by this
free competition with legitimate industry.
Every year congress appropriates large
sum to distribute gratuitously a mass Of
agricultural reading matter prepared under
the management OF the department Of agri-
culture. Now no live farm journal really
breads the free competition Of the a2ricul-
tural department reports. Practical farmers
look 10 their own Class Of journals for late
news and facts relative 10 their calling.
They would get left most DECIDEDLY II they
trusted for information about their calling

one or two years after tnelr date. But con

THE EXPERIENCE MEETING


held at the VI. E. Church on Friday even
ing. under the auspices of the Ladies
/ Parsonage Committee, was a delightful
I entertainment-are real pleasure to all those
who participated as well as to those who
were in the audience. The experiences
were the simple stories of how the chill
dren, young ladies and more matronly
ladies of the church earned their quarters,
halves and dollars to liquidate a small
debt. Some of the experiences were very
funny. One or two were in rhyme One
of the wee little girls earned her quarter
by selling hugs and kisses to her papa;"
another party by selling corn cobs" One
young lady who had superabundance of
hair contributed portion of the money
derived from its sale 4 married lady
earned her dollar by keeping her hus-
band and house in order. One lady un
dertook to earn her dollar by making and
selling pies. but found that her profit was
only penny apiece, and abandoned that
business. An hundred ways of earning
the money was resOrted to, and the
amount aggregated over $50. The en-
joyment of the occasion was enhanced by
some excellent vocal music by Mrs. Ger
trude Heinlein and Mrs. Jessie Morton
Carroll, and also by the choir. Mrs.
Heinlein's voice is as sweet and strong
and her notes as clear as when in years
agOne she delighted the lovers of song
The music on the autoharp and harmon
lea by Messrs. viii Norris and George
Hughes was a pleasing feature of the
entertainment The ladies are to becon-
graduated on their success, and every
one who participated has the satisfaction
of knowing that she contributed share
to the neat little sum realized.

The City of Washington is an object of
perennial interest to all patriotic Ameri-

throbbing heart of the mightiest and
grandest Republic the earth has ever

alton of all young America" at least, to
some time or other visit the Capital of
his country.
The Baltimore and Ohio r. r. offers
unequalled facilities in aid of this desire.
All its through trains pass through Wash
ington. Its fast express trains are vesti-
buled from end to end and heated with
steam. Pullman's latest and best produc-
tionS in the way of sumptuous Drawing
Room Sleeping Cars are attached to all its
