farm AND GARDEN.

THE rules that apply to beef cattle
apply, to some extent, to poultry RI sed
for their flesh. A fowl to be profitable
for this purpose must be NEAR the
ground" that is, the legs should be
short and thick. Long-legged fowls
are not desirable.
MANY small fruit growers have been
dissatisfied with the dewberry on ac-
count of its troublesome habit Of
growth. A Pennsylvania cultivator has
trained his bushes upon light wire
trellis, and thus overcome all diff
culties of cultivation.
If you are going to buy cow for
your dairy test her first. We know Of
q dairyman that. when about to buy a
COW, rides through the country gather
ing samples of milk from the cows
offered for sale. He tests the milk ut
his home, and buys accordingly. He
makes money out of his dairy.
In making the well-known kerosene
emulsion 1t is an easy matter to make
a mistake, SO that the kerosene sep
arates from the water. Kerosene will
mix with milk or soapsuds. but in max
ing the emulsion plenty of soap should
be used, as it will be difficult to mix
the substances unl less such is the case
VETERINARY surgeons state that the
milk is the first thing affected when a
cow becomes i'll, and chat the milk will
show indications of coming whichever
and 2arget a week before any outward
sign can be discovered A sore, OF
anything that may be liable to poison
the blood, also poisons the milk at ths

the spade in regular rows, and then the
plants are lifted with mass of earth
on them and placed in position in the
new bed This work may be done any
time in the year. when the ground is
not frozen. We have had ripe berries
in this way six weeks after early spring
planting. Caution is necessary in
adopting this mode on adhesive or
heavy soils, not to press it with the
spade with such firmness as to make it
compact, solid or adhesive.
These different methods have various
advantages. but it should be borne in
mind that the plants exhaust the soil
more or less. and require the annual
application Of manure or fertilizers.
But the most perfect growth, and es-
pccially required for marketing, and
berries Of the finest quality are to be
obtained only by making new beds by
transplanting into rich, fresh, well-pre-
pared soil. If done as soon as the crop
has been gathered, say about the mid
die of summer, when the soil is suf-
ficiently moist, they will come forward
and make good growth through au-
tumn. and be nearly as forward as if
set out the previous spring. They may
be set month later, cutting off all the
old and large leaves, and preserving
the freshly-applied moisture in the soil
with fine mulch of manure.-Country

CONSTRUCTION OF sILos.
KIN Wedge Gained from Observation Of
Various Kinds Of Them.

KIN Wedge Gained from Observation Of
Various Kinds Of Them.
Bulletin twenty-cight of the Wis
consin experiment station is devoted to
silos. their location. construction and
arrangement; methods of preserving
silage from decay, filling, etc. Obser-
walton of various materials used and
methods employed in building, pre-
serving. filing and covering, through
out the state go to show: l. That q
round silo lasts longest and preserves
the ensilage best, as it has the least
possible surface, fewest cracks and
corners, costs least and is strongest be-
cause the siding. lining, etc, acting as
hoops give additional strength; SO
light material may be used. 2. That
the deeper the silo and the smoother
the sides the better, as the increased
weight Of ensilage secures firmer pack
ing. and excludes the air better than in
a shallow one. Also there is less sur
face exposed at the top.
3. The ensilage should be fed from
the top. as this exposes less to the air
than when taken from the side.
4. That for the same reason large
silos should be divided into compart-
ments and one compartment fed out at
time.
5. That unless feeding is begun soon
after the silo is filed, a close cover
should be provided. Such protection
may consist of coarse hay, chat, straw,
earth, boards, ETC., the necessary con-
dition being that the air be excluded.
8. That the bottom Of the silo should
be SO constructed as to exclude rats, by
a layer of small stones or grout laid be-
fore the cement is applied.
In constructing silo only sound and
well-seasoned timber should be used.
Unsound or sappy wood will rot out in
a short time. If any difference exists,
the best lumber should be reserved for
the inside lining and should be placed
at the bottom. Perfect ventilation on
both sides of the lining, beams, sills.
etc. should be provided to prevent
rotting. The best Innings consist Of
two layers of narrow boards with tarred
paper between them. 1t is not essen
tial that the Innings should be matched
but the boards should be of uniform
width. The Innings may be made more
effective by painting the sides next the
paper with hot coal tar The stills
should likewise be tarred and should
rest on good stone wall.

Aroma and Color of Honey.

BY the color of the honey and the
aroma therefrom. an experienced bee
keeper can determine the source from
whence it came. Thus, it is quite easy
to tell buckwheat honey by its very
dark look. and by its strong and pun
gent odor. Honey-dew has the same
dark look, but lacks the odor or ar oma.
In fact. there is little or no aroma
about honey dew. For this reason no
bee-keeper need be deceived as to the
source of such odorless honey. Aroma
is term employed to designate those
substances, the extreme minute par
ticles Of which are supposed to affect
the organs of smell SO as to produce
peculiar odors. The particles diffused
through the atmosphere and affecting
the olfactory nerves-if the theory OF
particles of matter be correct-must
indeed be extremely minute, yet not
SO much SO but that we easily detect
the smell from field Of any honey
bearing plant or flower. These odors
have generally been supposed to de-
pend upon essential oils. -Rural Home.

FOR GIRLS AND BOYS.
THE GHOST,

One summer dav not long ago,
twas In vacation time know,
We took our dinners, Jack and T.
some sugar cookies and some pie
Ana with our hickory crossbows stout
We bravely for the woods set out.
The sun was hot Jacks face was red
- any turkey goboicr's head,
AMI he said mine was like piece
vi naEnei with coat of grease.
hut we both laughed, and didn't care
And let the wind blow through our hal
And gave shout. and ran until
we reached the bottom OF the hill,
Just where the trees begin to throw
Their shadows on the grass below:
And there we played at Indian: thei
we ate awhile, and played again.
And by and by path we found
That through the forest wound and wound.
Jack said 1t was an Indian trail,
But said "cotrs!" Then Jack grew pale,
Got awful mad, and wouldn't bulge
Until I'd hOllcred "pshaw" and fudge"
dozen times or SO, and then
We wandered on and on again;
Till suddenly fla sh OF light
Before US cleaned on someth ing white,
And we both felt cold shiyers run
Clear down our spines. 1t wasn't funi
"a ghost" cried. The wind swept by;
We thought we heard a mournful sigh,
And ded as though with wild appeals
A score OF ghosts were at our heels
But courage soon returned, and Jack
Declared aloud: Ppm going back!
So back we crept, still half afraid.

A TERRIBLE AFRICAN ANT.

Wonderful Little Insects that March Like
IN Army and Go FOraging Expedi-
lions.
There are a great many species OF
ants in Africa, some of which are found
in vast numbers. The most remarka-
BILE and most dreaded of all is the bashi-
kouay, and IS a most voracious creature,
which carries nothing away, but eats its
prey on the spot.
1t is the dread of all living animals OF
the forest-the elephant. the leopard,
the gorilla, and all the insect world
and man himself is compelled to fee be-
fore the advance of these marauLers or
to protect himself by fire and boiling
water. 1t is the habit of the bashi-
kouays to march through the forest in
long regular line, about two inches
broad or more, and often miles in
length.
All along the line larger ants, who
act as officers, stand outside the ranks
and keep the singular army in order
II they come to place where there
are no trees to shelter them from
the sun, the heat of which they can not
bear, they Immediately burrow under
more than twelve hours for one of these
armies to pass.
When they grow hungry, at a certain
command, which seems to take place all
along the line at the same time, the
long file spreads itself through the
forest in front line and attacks and
devours all it overtakes with fury that
is quite irresistible. All the other liv-
ing Inhabitants of the forest flee before
it. Their advent is known beforehand;
the still forest becomes alive with the
trampling of the elephant, the fight of
the antelope or of the gazelle. of tn,
leopard, of snakes, all the living world
in the same direction where the other
animals are fleeing away.
Their manner Of attack is an i'm
petuous leap. Instantly the strong
pincers are fastened, and they only let
go when the piece gives way. They
even ascend to the top of the trees for
their prey. This ant seems to be ami
mated by kind OF fury.
Sometimes men condemned to death
are made fast to a tree, and if an army
of hungry bashikouays passes, in a
short time only bare skeletons remain
