Oil Ponds In the Gulf.

Between the mouth of the Mississippi
River and Galveston, Texas, ten or If
teen miles south of Sabine Pass, is a spot
in the Gulf of Mexico which is common
ly called "the Oil Ponds" by the cap
tains of the small crafts which ply in
that vicinity. There is no land within
fifteen miles, but even in the widest
weather the water at this spot is com.
paratively calm, owing to the thick COW
ering OF oil which apparently rises from
the bed of the gulf, which is here about
fifteen to eighteen. feet beneath the sur
face. This strange refuge is we'll known

CLEANING FURNITURE.

A correspondent of the Country Gentle
man says: Carefully remove oil particles
OF dust from corners and crevices of fur
niture, and then rub thoroughly with a
small cloth dipped occasionally in boiled
linseed oil; afterwards rubbing it until
dry with larger flannel cloth. If you
prefer the gloss of varnish, you can apply
that with equal success, though it re.
quires more time and skill to do so. Buy
only the best quality, and this of a relia-
BILE dealer. IF thick, cut it with spirits
of turpentine until it flows freely and
smoothly; if you are in hurry, add lit.
tie Japan or drier. Take but little on
the brush, and be careful not only to
touch every part but to see that it does
not run down and permanently injuro the
looks of the work"
For polishing the tops of tables, stands,
etc., use the following proparationi Take
one ounce of yellow rosin and pint OF
raw linseed oil, melt the rosin in a pip
kin or other earthen vessel placed in q
kettle of boiling water. When melted,
add to it by degrees one-half of the oil ;
and when thoroughly mixed together,
add by degrees the remainder. Wash
the furniture thoroughly with warm
water, and wipe perfectly dry before ap.
plying the polish. Put it on with pad
made by tying a small bali of cotton in
a flannel cloth; polish first with a flannel
cloth, and afterward with chamois. II
you make the polish carefully, aud rub
it thoroughly, your table will reflect
whatever you place on it. In whatever
manner you renovate furniture, great
care should be taken in cleaning it
thoroughly. Use worn paint brush, or
a small vegetable brush, to remove the
dust from corners, crevices OF mouldings,

HOW TO GET NATURAL WATER oREss.

Every clear running stream of water,
If no great depth, may be easily made to
grow a crop of salad in the form Of water
cress without price. A little seed scat
tered on the upper part of the stream
will, of itself, soon crop all down
stream.
In the absence of seeds planting of
slips on the banks, although slower
process, is equally certain, as, after the
first year, seeding will take place and a
sure crop follow, The kind of location
selected for the growth of the crop for
market is the low bottom lands liable to
overflow on the banks of the river Here,
If 1t can be so managed that a spot can
be selected where the water by sluicc
ways can be let o so as to cover the beds
few inches deep of water and yet all
the time renew itself so as not to get
stagnant, then the very state of things is
at hand for a good water cress bed.
. So fast do our wants increase that in
all large cities there is demand for fresh
young water crcss the year round. But
this is to feed the cpicure mostly. The
time of all times when good dish of
water cress is tasty, is the first crop in
the spring, and almost the first outside

duces. To our mind this is enhanced by

Fully matured stock can endure violent
char ges of food with much less disturb
ance of the system than can young ami
mails still growing. Therefore, specially
good management is necessary in chang
ing the young things from the dry feed
of winter to the unripe grasses of spring.
If the change is made suddenly an at
tact of scOurs will check their growth
for n month perhaps. If ensilage and
roots have been fed during the winter,
the change to grass will not cause such
disturbance as would occur in change
from dry hay, which is the usual ration
of young stock on most farms. Such
changes are best made gradually, and
some dry feed should be given each day
at the stable, OF from troughs or racks at
the pasture gate, until the grasses gain
substance. Many farmers send their
stock to the pastures too early in spring
for the good either of the stock or the
pastures. The ground when the snow
has recently left it is soft and saturated
with water. Turning cattle upon it at
such time is specially harmful to the
grass roots. The deterioration of SO
many pastures can doubtless be largely
traced to this practice. Many farmers
turn their spring calves out to pasture
during their first season. Though few
may occasionally thrive under this
treatment, most of them come to the baIn
in the fall about One-half as large as they
should be at that age. Stable care and
feed, with yard to run in during pleas
ant weather, but with free access to cover
during the heat of the day, has been
found by many progressive farmers to
give much the best results. Skim milk
with little oatmeal, bran, crushed oats,
and clover hay, will give growth to de-
light the farmers eye, while the develop
ment thus secured is the kind needed "a

GRATING THE GRAPE.

In grating grapeviues that are an inch
or more in diameter, cut them off two OF
three inches below the surface of the
ground, then insert the cion just as you
would in branch of an apple tree of the
same size. Wind with piece of cord
or bass bark--po wax should be used
and after tying, draw the soil back, COW
ering the stock and cion, leaving only
the upper bud on the latter exposed.
We prefer performing the operation as
carly in the spring as possible, or as soon
as the frost is out of the ground, and be-
fore the buds show any signs of growth.
Some vineyardists cut the cions in win
ter and store them in cool place where
they will remain dormant until the vines
have pushed some of their leaves, then
the cion3 are inserted as we have di.
rected. We may say, however, that
grating the grape is rarely a success ex-
ccpt when performed by those who have
had considerable experience in the pro-
pagation of vines. Try it, and secure
the needed experience american Agri-

WHEN MOTHS ARE PLENTIFUL.

Just now when moths are so plentiful
it is well for housekeepers to bear in
mind that it is not the flying moth that
causes the trouble. The moth lays from
eighteen to lac eggs at time. In from
three to seven days these hatch out into
little worms, which spin tiny case for
themselves from the carpet, fur or other
material containing animal substance in
which they were laid. All the damage
is done in thirty-six days from the time
the eggs were laid until the grub reaches
its full size. Two things are sure death
-benzine spray and Paris green or any
arsenical preparation, but they are both
SO dangerous that few can use them.
Camphor, or even camphor tar, are only
partially repellent to the flying mouth
and have no effect whatever upon the
grub, so that furs and garments may be
locked up with pounds of camphor and
when opened found eaten to pieces. The

tive against moths, but light shorld

ABUSING SHEEP,

! We have heard of sheep being used to
restore fertility to wolnout land, and
have read that they were quite efficient
in the obstruction of various kinds Of
weeds. But, according to an Ohio farmer
who recently gave his experience at one
of the county institutes, they NAV be
trained to render even greater service.
This man turns part of his flock on land
''infested with bushes, briers and weeds, u
and keeps them there few days com
pelling them to do "Sennenger duty by
eating these foul growths. The animals
are then turned into better pasture and
another portion of the flock is set to
work clearing the bushy ground. The
process is repeated until the land is thor
oughly cleared. A writer who has re-
ported the matter to the National Stock
man and Farmer, says that "by thus
starving them the sheep will seat all
kinds of weeds and bushes, with no per-
manent loss of flesh or health, and adds
that he has seen some of the land which
was "well and cheaply" cleared in this
manner. After three or four seasons of
this kind of clearing, the land is ready
to plow and there is 'no hard, laborious
grubbing or breaking of plows or strain
ing teams plowing away roots" We do
not doubt that sheep can be made to clear
the land of bushes and weeds, but it must
be pretty hard work for the sheep and
also be an expensive method for their
owner. A man can drive a nail with a
good watch, but it is cheaper for him to
use hammer.
So man can clear land By the use of
sheep, but an AK and bush scythe would
enable him to do the work to better ad
vantage. Dairynaan.

CORN MEAL FOR CHICKS.

Corn meal dough is not sufficient food
for chicks, but when each mess of the
corn meal is mixed with fresh milk, in.
stead Of water, the value of the mess is
increased. Chicks should, however, have
a variety of food, and will eat any kind
of seeds or small grain, especially broken
wheat. Milk is excellent, but the chicks
are liable to get wet with it, OF the milk
may become too sour and breed disease.
If mixed with corn meal, and the mess
eaten up c.ean, the chicks will relish it
and thrive on the mixture. Farm and
