Scab in sheep is caused by spider
like parasite called the acarus. 1t is
acarus which produces the itch in man
and mango in other animals, but the
sheep acarus or scab mite will not live
on any other animal A female acarus
will burrow into the skin of q healthy
sheep and within ten or twelve days lay
eight to fifteen eggs, which are quickly
hatched, and the young in turn are lay
ing eggs within the next ten or twelve
days, until within three months the in
crease from one female has, according
to reliable authorities, reached the vast
number of one and half millions.
A close observer will detect the first
indications of scab in about two weeks
after exposure to contagion. One thor
ough dipping with tobacco and sulphur
or other safe dip will kill all living scab
mites on the sheep. A second dipping
ten days later will kill all that were un-
hatched at the first dipping and leave
the flock clean, provided the work has
been properly done. Some, to insure
success, give a third dipping ten days
later After the first dipping the
sheep must be removed to fresh. unin-
fected yards, pastures, ETC., or all the la
Dor of dipping will be lost; they will
again become infected. Frost only will
effectually clean barn, yards or pas
ture from the infection of the scab.--

The first consideration in the man
agement of the laundry is to have good
utensils in proper order for work. The
tubs should be sufficient in number, of
good size, and always kept clean. The
wash board should be free from nails
that might tear the clothes. The wash
bench should be firm and high enough
to prevent fatigue in bending too low
over the tubs.-The Home.

SANDY SOIL.
A Farmer who THINKS 1t the Bost of

a Farmer Who Thinks 1t the Best of All.
Sandy soil, well managed, says Henry
Stewart, in the Country Gentleman, is
the best of all kinds. 1t absorbs the
rain and holds it firmly; it's porosity
keeps it dry in wet weather and moist
in dry weather; it enables the air to
pass in and out of it freely at every
change of temperature and condition OF
moisture, and also exerts that active
oxidizing effect upon organic matter, as
manure or composts, which is we'll
known to be a property of all porous
substances, ard thus such soil makes at
once available IN application of manure
by decomposingi very rapidly and con-
verting it into plant food; it is easily
titled, may be worked weeks in advance
after rain, when the working is the
most effective.
1t yields the best quality of wheat,
thin, clear-sllinned and heavy in the
grain: the very best and brightest bar
ley; the heaviest oats; the very finest
potatoes and roots; and being warmed
up quickly by the suns heat, which it
absorbs greedily, it yields tho finest
corn, clover and forage crops. 1t is
healthful to live stock and to the owner.
1t is generous, kindly in disposition,
tractable and, when literally treated,

by local applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when IL is
entirely closed DEAFNESS Is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

Chicken Manure.

The old idea that chicken manure is
complete" manure, suitable for all
crops seems to be losing favor with a
good many gardeners. A notable in
stance of the new way of dealing with
this substance was given two weeks ago
in the account of the one-horse farm in
New Jersey. On this farm, it will be
remembered, the chicken manure was
used as the body of homemade fertil-
izer, dissolved bone-black, muriate of
potash and plaster being used to prop
erly balance the fertilizer and give it
the proper mechanical condition. We
hope to have more to say next week
about the proportions of these sub
stances used. The use of this home
made fertilizer saved the farmer over
$500, which sum is supposed to equal
the cost of mixing and portion of the
nitrogen added to freight charges,
agents commission, manufacturers
profit, ETC., etc., all of which were paid
for when complete fertilizers were
bought. Now is the time to consider
whether for your soil chicken manureis
a complete" or o ''one-sided" fertilizer.
BY the way, ''stable manure" is sup
posed to be complete. Has it ever oc-
CURED to you that there may be almost
as wide proportionate difference be-
tween two samples of manure as there
is between ''low-grade" and "high-
grade" fertilizer? Again, if the stable
manure is complete your farm may be
so 'one-sided" that you need to add
something to the manure.-Rural New
Yorker.

SWINE BREEDING.
Tho United States First Among Ali Na
tions In This Industry.

Tho United States First Among All Nm
tions In This Industry.
The United States stands easily fire,
among nations in the number of its
swine. There has been some decrease
in the last few years, but the estimates
in the Department of Agriculture gave
the number, January 1, 1888, at 1884.
T5b, or nearly seventy-five for each 10C
of human population. This estimate
is made out at season of the year when
the total number is nearly at its mini
mum. as a very large percentage of ths
pigs are produced in the spring months,
and vast numbers of fattened hogs are
sent to slaughter during the closing
months of the year.
The abundant and cheap production
of Indian corn is the controlling factor
in pork production in the United States.
Thus the seven great producing
States are estimated to have had, in
round numbers, 90, s0o 600 hogs, or al.
most half the total number, and an
average of nearly 3,000,000 for each
State. Their respective rank was, Iowa,
Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, Kansas, Indi-
ana and Nebraska. No other State had
1000, 900 hogs save Texas and she poor
quality of these largely offset the large
number.
The rapidity with which swine in
crease, says the Agricultural Depart
ment, the early age at which they may
be profitably be sent to market, the ease
with which the meat may be preserved
for future use, and the large use made
of the fat, as also the abundance OF
maize so well adapted as fattening
food, have made swine breeding popular
in all the great Indian-corn-growi
regions, while the readiness with which
one or more pigs may be utilized as
profitable means of consuming waste
products from the table and dairy have
caused farmers and many village resi-
dents in almost every part of the coun-
try to annually fatten at least few
pigs

A Bad state OF Affairs.

From all over the country come re-
ports of threatened foreclosures of
mortgages on farm property. In Penn
sylvania many supposedly rich farmers
have failed because of the depreciation
in farm values. In Southern New
Jersey several hundred farms are be-
ing sold by the sheriff. AS our readers
know, reports from many parts of the
West are no better. What is to be
done? This country can not afford to
have its native-born farmers driven
from their farms to be replaced by a
tenant peasantry. For number of
years past great mortgage and trust
companies have gradually secured a
grasp on thousands Of American farm
ers. When the present occupants of
these farms are driven away, who will
be secured to fill their places? No
true American can view this state of
affairs without alarm. The present
condition of American agriculture de-
demand the prompt and careful atten-
tion Of our statesmen and business
men.--Rural New Yorker.

What Foreigners Must Do to Become
Citizens of the United States,
Naturalization is Federal right and
is the gift of the Union, not of any one
State. The right to vote comes from the
State and is State gift. The natural
ization laws apply to the whole Union
alike and provide that no alien NAV be
naturalized until after five years resi-
dence. Even after five years residence
and due naturalization the alien is not
allowed to vote unless the laws of the
State confer the privilege upon him.
In Minnesota he can vote four months
after landing if he has immediately de-
clared his Intention under the United
States laws to become citizen. The
conditions under and the manner in
which an alien may be admitted to be-
come citizen of the United States are
as follows: The alien must declare

ty-one years and upward, who has been
