MAKE A GOOD GARDEN.

/ No man should spend his labor and
time over so large an acreage as to fail in
making a tirst-class garden. In this much
of the satisfaction and often no little
part of the profit of country and farm
life consists. 1t is rather disheartening
for the city resident who goes into the
country during the summer for fresh air
and fresh homegrown small fruits and
garden vegetables to look into back yards
and find tin cans carelessly thrown away,
which show that aver for such common
table luxuries as tomatoes, green corn,
and often green peas, the farmer and his
family have nothing better for him than
he could himself buy at the retail
grocery. If farmers wish to attract other
their interest to do, they must in every
way make farm life as pleasant and en-
joyable as possible. Labor-saving ma
chinery enables the farmer to take life
easier If he will. He complains that low
prices for staple crops take off all his
profit. Grow less of these crops then,
and devote a larger share of time to fruit,
especially the small fruits, and to garden
vegetables. So soon as the farmer grows
enough of all kinds of vegetables for table
use in their season, he has procured lux
uries that only wealthy men can afford.
As he thinks over what he would have
been obliged to pay for such table deli
%cacies, the harder lines of his life fade
away. 1t seems worth while to live on
a farm, and when he gets to feeling this
way it is ten to one that he falls into the
habit of marketing supplies he does not
need, and thus after a few years de-
velops into market gardening the natural
way. First make a garden that will
supply your own table with all garden
delicacies, and if there is a surplus it
will be sure Of a profitable market

HARD OR SOFT FoOn.

Experience shows that hard food is
better than soft food for poultry, not
that it contains more nutrition, but for
the reason that when soft food is given
the hens are tempted to eat a larger pro-
portion than should be the case. The
giving of soft food leads to overlooking
and impairs the digestion. 1t also sup
plies the wants of the fowl more readily
than hard food, and so completely salts
fes it that the inducement to work and
scratch $50 essential to health and the
thrift of the fowl is lessened. Then,
there is the fact that when giving soft
food the poultryman, by mixing several
kinds, is liable to give more of one kind
than may be needed, While with hard
grains the fowls have greater privilege of
selection of hat which they prefer; but
with mixed soft food they must eat every
thing of which it is composed-all or
none-and thereby surfeit themselves. 1t
is proper to give soft food, so as to feed
some needed substances, but we believe
three times a week sufficient. Give
whole grain and scatter it far and wide,
or mix 1t with litter, thus compelling
each hen to hunt and scratch for all she
receives, which will keep her in health
and promote egg production .-NeW Or.

rice very thinly; or, better, plant it in
hills ten inches apart, with three or four
grains to the hill. 1t will, with a little
cultivation, shade the soil sufficiently to
keep down the crabgrass and save the
plants. But be careful not to get it too
thick or it will make the plants so tender
that, when the rice is harvested in the
fall, the sun will kill them. II it comes
on too thick during the summer, cradle
it off a foot high or more. 1t will sprout
right up again, but you will lose your
crop of rice. This is better, however,
than to lose the strawberry plants.

Cows in n Palace.

One Of the most renowned buildings in
Europe is the great "Winter Palace" in
st. Petersburg, built in the reign of the
Empress Elizabeth Petrovna.
Successive imperial families have taken
up their residence in this palace, the last
Emperor being the Car Alexander II.
After the mysterious dynamite explosion
which was effected in this Empelor's pri-
vate dining-room an investigation was
commanded, and a list made of such per-
sons as were employed in the palace,
when it vas found hat over and above
the army of regular employees as many as
four hundred people in no way on the
list were living there!
And extraordinary as it may appear,
on further investigation a well regulated
farm in full operation was discovered un.
der the imperial roof! There was a poul-
try yard, a piggery, and several cows,
the owner of this extensive estate making
a comfortable profit on the sale of his
produce to the royal kitchen .-NeW York

HOW TO HIVE A SWARM OF BEES.

0Ah3 - VI bAahE
To hive a swarm of bees successfully
and in a systematic manner, writes a bee
keeper, requires presence of mind, cool
ness of nerves and fearlessness. To note
the vast difference of the ways in which
bees are hived throughout the country
would be very amusing. 1 think it is
sufficient to point out the correct way.
1t is the usual custom on discovering
a swarm leaving the hiveto begin throw
ing water on them; this l do not do.
When | see a swarm in the air, l at once
set about to prepare a hive for them. If
l know which hive they have come out
of ] remove il to a new location and set
the new one in its place, and spread on
the ground just in front of it a sheet
doubled twice.
The new hive should contain a full set
OF frames with a narrow strip of founda-
ton as a starter, and if it is during a good
honey flow and after the surplus arrange
ments have been put on, l would remove
the latter from off the old hive and place
it on the new one by this time the swarm
has settled. If low enough, 1 sprinkle
them a little to prevent them flying when
Jared. Now get your s~warming basket
q find that one holding a half bushel is
the most conveniently; to the handle of
this tie a pole; a piece of pine one and
one-half or two inches square is just
right. Now reach up with the apparatus
just described and place the basket I'M
der the cluster; the end of the handle
should extend beyond the basket a foot
or so; strike the limb on which the bees
have settled a sharp blow, at the same
time keeping the mouth of the basket
where the bees will fall into it. If the
first jar is hard enough the queen will
fall into the basket together with the
larger portion of the bees. Hold the
basket in the same position until the
bees have settled, and if any settle on the
limb continue to jar it until they have
all settled in or on the basket.
You o have them captured and can
do anything you wan with them. 1
have carried a swarm a mile in this shape
without any trouble. If your hive is in
readiness carry the bees and pour tAem
down in front of it and assist them to
enter by taking hold of the corners of
sheet and raising it; after they are all in
see that the hive is shaded from the suns
rays, and you can then leave them to take
care of themselves Farm, Field and

TREES G1RDLED by MICE,

When trees are completely girdled by
mice the injury is ir%retrievable. If the
damage could be discovered at once and
before the wood should dry it might per-
hsps be possible to save some Of the trees
by cutting the bark from Others and fit
ting it accurately to the damaged portion
and wrapping the part in moist clay kept
moist by wet bandages. But the chances
are a hundred to one against this during
the winter, when the sap is not flowing,
while later, when the sap is lin motion, it
might be done. Prevention is the only
cure, and this is easily secured by wrap
ping paper around the trees in the fall
and taking it off in the spring, when
there is no more danger Chicago Times.

HELPING INEnRIArKs.

John G. Woolley is hard at work on the line
of practical temperance. He thus outlines his
plan: II want q farm where | can take lost
men who want another chance and give them
rest-no inebrlate asylum, no institution
Just my homa." The necessary funds for this
enterprise have been guaranteed, and "Rest
Island" will be a reality in a few months. 1t
is proposed TO hold a large temperance meet
ing there July is to %, to be followed by SINH
lar gatherings every Summer. The farm will
be located in the southern part OF Minnesota,
the men will be provided with work, whole
some food and good )mpany, and Mr.. Woolley
and his friends expect that much good will DO
accomplished in this way.-[Witness.
DR.. b. W. Richardson, President Of the
Royal College of Physicians, says: ''There
were 50, 900 persons in the United Kingdom
who died annually from alcohol, and that
yielded $50, 900 months of disease at the very
lowest. Was there any other disease 30 bad
in itself? No. Pulmonary consumption came
next, and it destroyed 90, 900 less a year.
Cancer destroyed only Is, ZOO, and the various
kinds of epidemics taken together could only
produce twice the number of deaths produced
by alcohol. They, as medical men, knowing
the terrible results produc d by alcohol,
ought, as administrator of health, 10 be the
first to wipe on; " at they knew to be a great
blot on their civilization"
DIR. Norman Kerr says: "When a few years
ago l instituted an inquire into the causes
contributing TO the mortality in the practice of
several medical friends. it was with the
avowed object Of demonstrating and exposing
the utter falsIty Of the perpetual %teetotal as
sertion that 5000 drunkArds die every year
in the United Kingdom. l had not long pur-
sued this line of inquiry before ii was made
clear TO me that there was little, II any,, exag-
g%eration, In these temperance statistics, and
when asked TO present the final results OF my
investigations, at the last Social Science Con-
gross, l was compelled to admit that at least
100000 of our population annually lose their

if the previous crop was kept clean of
weeds there will be less to spring up il

cent. is often taken off a crop of oats by
low wet spots, which preclude early

of seeding. Such spots should be tile

Why SaVages Are Lazy

The savage, says Thomas Ribot, is
lazy; is inspired only by the chase, by
war and by play; his interests are in the
unknown, the unforeseen and the chance.
He is not capable of continuous labor,
because in half -civilized communities
work is repugnant. The most ever
present characteristic of our criminals
is their inability to pursue a steady call
ing, and the great German and Italian
antropologists regard this as proof of a
reyersion to primitive habits. In order
to overcome l~aziness voluntary attention
must come in and be maintained as a
sociological power.-St, Louis Republic.

frequently expressed as to the part played by
alcoholic intemperance in its casual relation
TO insanity. No doubt many cases occur in
which some mental disturbances, generated by

excessive inhibition, but 1 am persuaded that

THE FARM AND GARDEN.

KEEPING FARMS CLEAR OF WEEDS.
Oneimportant point in keeping a farm
clear from weeds is to see that those
germs are not imported in purchased
seeds. Weeds are often introduced by
the farmers own animals. Horses that
have been fed at the town stables, and
cattle that have been allowed to run on
the highways, may each be the means Of
bringing obnoxious weeds onto the farm.
