Train the Girls.

When O girl is 10 years old she
should be given household duties to
perform, according to her size and
strength, for which sum OF money
should be paid her weekly. She needs
q little pocket money, and the knowl-
edge how to spend it judiciously,
which can so well be given by moth
err to her little girl She should be re-
quired to furnish part of her ward
robe with this moWy. For instance,
II she gets 10 cents week, she should
purchase all her stockings or all her
gloves, as her mother may decide;
and, dong this under her mothers
supervision, she will soon learn to
trade with judgment and economy.
OF course, the mother will see to it
that the sum is sufficient to do this,
and yet leave q trifle for the child to
spend rs she pleases. This will sup
ply a healthy stimulus; it will give her
a proper ambition and pride in her
labor and the ability to use money
properly. As she grows older these
household duties should be increased
with the proportionate increase OF
money paid for the performances OF
them. We know lady who divided
the wages Of servant between her three
daughters. There Is systematic ar
ranRement of their labor which is done
with q thoroughnsss and alacrity
rarely found, either with o hired girl
or daughter who feels that she has to
do IL with nothing to sncouraRs or
stimulate her in her work. From
brakes Maqasins.

It is our intention to show conclusivsly to the

There are many causes of catarrh. Those
most frequent are repeated colds, Que to our

air and inhaling the air Of badiy ventilated

or weaken the vitality of the system renders
these causes more active.
The first action OF catarrh Is upon the mucous

Court thought in scme cases, but that

POTASH FOR CORN,
Results of Experiments at the Kentucky
and Ohio Stations.

Results of Experiments at the Kentucky
and Ohio Stations.
The Kentucky experiment station,
located at Lexington, is in the heart OF
the blue grass region, and on a soil
which has been formed from the decom-
position of the underlying limestone
rocks. On this soil potash seems to be
the most needed element in a fertilizer
for corn, although it has not produced SO
marked an effect on wheat.
Bulletin No. SO of this station reports
series of experiments in applying fer
tilizers to corn, of which the following
is the stations summary:
The results obtained this year are
almost identical with those of the last
two years, that is:
81. That in those plots where potash
was one of the ingredients of the fer
tilizers used there was a marked in
creased yield, both in corn and fodder
''2. That in plot Is, where fertilizer
was used without potash, there was
scarcely any increase in yield over
those plots containing no fertilizer.
''3. That the greatest increased yield
was made by using a combination of
potash and nitrogen.
~. The use of muriate of potash
alone resulted in a marked increased
yield over the plots containing no fer
tilizers.
IS. That there was profit in the use
Of fertilizers in every instance where
potash was one of the ingredients, the
largest net profit arising from the use
of the mixture of nitrate of sodium
and muriate of potash.
Sc. That there was loss by the use
of fertilizers where potash was not one
of the ingredients.
90. That SO far. potash fertilizers
have shown their effect the third season
after application.
The Ohio station has been conducting
similar experiments to those reported
above, both on its farm in Columbus
and on several other farms in different
parts of the state: but the results diff
fer from those of Kentucky in that no
combination of fertilizers has produced
a sufficient increase of crop to pay for
the cost of application. In only one
place has potash produced any marked
effect in Ohio, and that was in Butler
county, on soil that is probably large
ly derived from similar rocks to those
which have formed the blue grass soil.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

WHEN the fowls appear droopy and
lose their appetite small quantity of
hnseed oil can be given with benefit.
If the hens are kept in coops with
their broods it will pay to move to a
fresh place every two or three days, in
order to prevent one place from becom-
ing too foul
Too MUCH grain is detrimental to old
ducks; they need during the summer
plenty of grass and coarse, bulky foods.
They do not bear confinement well, but
should have good range.
You've turkeys need considerable
care. 1t will not do to depend too
much on the mothers, especially turkey
hens; they are apt to forage so much as
to wear out the young turkeys.
IT is often the case from the amount
Of young poultry sent to market that
prices get very low and when this hap
pens at this season it will pay to feed
longer, as the growth can be made at a
low cost.
For market, at least, late Matched
ducks rarely pay. The best profit is
realized by selling them when not over
three months old, and this age should
be attained before the hot weather Of

Culture of the Sugar Beet.

In recent compilation made by the
Norfolk & Western Railroad Company,
for the information of Virginia agri-
culturists, it is shown that there are
100000 acres devoted to sugar-beet
culture in Europe; Germany leads in
the manufacture of sugar, though
France has more acres under cultiva-
ton. Though the mode of planting and
cultivation changes somewhat as ex-
perience dictates, yet the prevailing
method is to stir the soil to the depth of
twenty inches the fall previous to
planting; then upon previously-pre-
pared ridges, two feet apart, plant the
seed, and when the plants appear thin
them to ten or twelve inches apart in
the row. Neither very light nor heavy
clay soils are suited to beet raising; a
soil suitable to wheat culture seems
the most favorable for beet culture.
