busting the Hens.

1t is a very good custom to dust the
hens that have chicks with Persian in.
sect powder, or carbolate of lime, espe-
cially in damp weather, when the
cooped-up hen can not we'll dust herself
or use the dust bath. If this is done
when the chicks are about week or
two old, it will kill the lice on them,
too, and give them healthy start. The
best time to do this is just before dark,
and the operation is done best by two
persons. The hen should be taken out
as quietly as possible; the two legs
should be held with one hand, and the
wings be kept together over the back
with the other. Then she should be
laid on one side, while another person
dusts the powder we'll under the wings
and all through the breast and body.
When treated on one side she should
be turned over and the other be attend
ed to. Place her in the coop as gently
as possible, so that she will not shake
out the dust. The chicks then settling
under her for the night get good dose
Of the disinfectant during the darkness.
Many brood of dropping chicks will
look much brighter from the effects Of
one dose; repeating it in another week
or two will be found beneficial Rural

Kerosene Emulsion OH Greenhouse Plant.


The aphis can be kept down by
fumigation, or the application of
sulpho- tobacco soap, and the red spider
can be con trolled or routed, especially
in the greenhouse, where water can be
used in any desired quantity, by the
persistent use of it all over the plants,
and the places where it breeds. But the
mealy-bug and the scale succumb to
neither of these applications. have
used tir-tree oil with good success, says
a writer in the American Agriculturist,
but 1t is somewhat expensive, and often
difficult to obtain. Having used kero-
sene emulsion in the garden where 1t
proved valuable as an insecticide, ii
occurred to me that If it was useful
there it might also be in the green.
house. 1t was applied to oleanders, ivies,
lemons, and other plants infested with
scale, and to hoyas and other plants on
which the mealy-bug had taken up its
habitation, and with most satisfactory
results. Itrid the plants of the insects
fought against and did not injure them
in the least. l have since applied 1t
to tender plants like the begonia, and.
if care is taken, 1T never Injuries them,
but, II more kerosene is used, some
damage will result to delicate foliage.
The formula used Isl Slightly sour
milk, one-third; kerosene, two-thirds.
Put in pail and agitate rapidly, until
the two liquids unite and form white
butter. If you have greenhouse
syringe, use it to churn the liquids, and
the "bItter" will come" in a short
time. Use one part of this emulsion to
fourteen parts water. The water and
emulsion will mix with little stirring,
and can be syringed over the plants.

Fsrtilixed by Insects.
The Aristolochia, now In flower at
Kew, is one Of the handsomest and fin
est in the large family, and the oppr-
tunity OF seeing it in perfection is one
that should not be missed. Aristolochia
Is best known as a South American
genus, but the species in question
Aristolochia Goldiena--is a native OF
Africa, and comes from the neighbor-
hood of Old Calabar The bell of the
flower, measuring twelve inches across,
Is OF yellow ground color, with livid
purple markings, and the curious strong
ly ribbed tube is of light yellow green.
The greatest length of the flower is
twenty-seven and one-half inches. tits
curious that the leaves in the present
instance are but poorly developed,
though, as a rule, they are large in pro-
portion to the size Of the flowers. One
Of the most curious characteristics OF
this and other plants in the same genus,
apart from the peculiar arrangement OF
the stamens and stigmas, is the way in
which the flowers are fer&lized. The
small insects which effect this, urged
by curiosity or more material motives
enter the colored bells as they hang
for the aristeIochia is climbing plant
and crawl through the narrow circular
opening into the dilated base. Here
they are caught like Holsters in lobster
pots, for the opening is lined with hairs
pointing inwards, which admit easy in
gress but effectually prevent any exit
and until the flowers, or rather the
stamens, are matured, all the flies AND
insects that enter are Gagged in the large
expanded tube. Ultimately the hairs
drop off, the insects escape, and, no
wiser for their brief Imprisonment, ~!

For our seed potatoes last fall we
dug pit five feet deep, large enough to
hold seventy-five bushels, and only fill
ing to within two feet of the surface of
the ground. AS soon as thoroughly dry
after digging, We put them in the pit,
filed and rounded it up we'll with straw,
covering with few inches of earth, be-
ing particular to leave it so no water
could get in from. the surface. At the
commencement of cold weather we put
on more straw and earth. In place of
the tile for chimnies we put in two
compact bundles of long straw, We left
them in this shape till our ground was
ready for planting, the last week in
April, when we opened, finding the po-
tatoes as solid and fresh as when put in,
not deasyed tuber and scarcely an eye
started. The field on which the seed
was planted adjoined the one where it
was raised, with the pit between. The
amount of labor by hauling, neither
after digging nor before planting, was
very considerable, and we never had
seed in as good condition by managing
in any other way. We like our method
of planting potatoes, for the few acres
we raise. Instead of an expensive po-
tato planter, we took our corn planter,
removed the check-rower, placed Sec
ton of stove-pipe, pressed into funnel
shape, down through the corn box so
that the potatoes dropped into it will
fall in the proper place behind the
planter runner. A boy with box OF
potatoes in front of him drops the pieces
into this funnel A smart lad will man
age both sides, thus planting two rows,
but we are usually satisfied to put in one
row at a time.-J. H. Reed in Ohio

toilsome journey. They proceeded slow

Picking and Packing Fruits.

President G. s. Faurot, in recent ad,
dress before the Colorado Horticultural
Society, dwelt considerably on the sub.
ject of picking and packing fruits for
the market He said that he had heard
great deal of complaint from farmers
growing apples for the market, that
they found 1t difficult to sell their
fruits. ''In my Judgment" said he,
''the trouble lies largely with the
farmer himself. He does not take
pains in gathering or picking fruit,
The grower should first know what con,
stitutes first-class apple. 1t should
not be over-ripe or undeveloped as those
often are that grow in the center Of
the tree. In gathering them great care
should be taken that they be not
bruised; the fruit should be gathered
one by one and laid in basket or sack
suspended from the shoulders and the
apples should be sorted as soon as
picked. A uniform-sized box should be
used in shipping and sacks should never
be used, for If you do you should never
expect to get a frst-class price"

direction as the prevailing obscurity
would permit
AS he thus sat peering into the brush
he at last saw some object slowly NOV.
ing toward him. Nearer and nearer ii
came, but with perfect stiffness, and
occasionally stopping as if to listen.
When 1t had got within a short dis
lance of him 1t stopped and gave low,
plaintive whine. Johns heart almost
bounded into his mouth, for in that
whine he recognized the tones of his
faithful Boase; and in the exuberance
of his joy he called the dog by name
and held up his hands toward him.
Boase Immediately crept forward, but
John, becoming alarmed at his own
rashness, lay down again by the side Of
the savage lest the latter should awake
and detect the presence of the dog.
But the Indian slept on, and after o
short time John again cautiously raised
himself to sitting posture and to his
great satisfaction he found Boase
crouching at his feet. He caressed the
brave fellow with his bound hands, and
then holding them up so Boase could
see the leathern thong with which they
were tied, he told him to gnaw it in
two. Boase seemed to comprehend the
case at once, for he instantly set to
work and soon set his young masters
hands at liberty.
What to do next was now the ques.
ton. John was so overcome, for a
time, at the terrible task before him,
that he forgot that his feet were still
bound until he attempted to rise. Their
he was reminded of that fact. Should
he let Boase gnaw them loose, Oh
should he Withdraw the Indians knife
from his belt and cut the thong? De
Gliding upon the latter course he gently
possessed himself of the knife, cut the
thong, and then, cautiously drawing
the tomahawk from the Savages belt
he rose to his feet. He had decided upo,
