POULTRY PICKINGS.

OATS stand next to wheat as an egg
producing food.
RADICAL changes of feed often make
the hens eat sparingly.
IT is not necessary to co ddle or pam
per fowls to make them grow.
THE fowls will not thrive if they are
forced to stand in mud all day.
TwENTY-FoUR hours after Matching
is soon enough to begin feeding.
WHEAT bran wet with hot water
makes good summer breakfast.
THERE are 6S standard breeds of chick
ems, 10 of ducks, 8 of turkeys and of
geese.
WHEN the fowls are closely confined
and fed too high they are liable to be
affected with cram2.
WITH young chickens it is not the
small lice that make the most trouble,
but the large body lice.
On rainy days the hens with young
poultry will be all the better off if they
are kept confined in dry quarters.
ToBAcco leaves put into the nests
and lunches of it hung around inside
the poultry house will keep away lice.
THE best time to pick duck and
geese feathers is when they are ripe;
whenever they are clear they are ready
to pull.
PUSH the early chickens now; few
days difference in getting to market
will often make a considerable differ
ence in prices
THE extraordinary profits that are
sometimes realized from one hen should
not be taken as guide to what can be
made from any particular breed st

cult to stoop down to properly perform
the act of grating.
This act of grating, in whatever style
it IS dcle, consists in having the outer
part or bark made to exactly fit each
other, as it is in these parts only that
junction can be made that viii grow.
the stock and cion are of the same
size, chen an exact fit of the two in all
their parts where the cut is made rem
ders the chances ST growing much more
certain.
The graft should be made at what is
called the collar, that is, at that part
where the old plant touched the top of
the soil. Make smooth, even, sloping
cut, say an inch long, upwards on the
collar of the root. II the center of this
cut make slit or tongue downwards.
The cion. which is of young, vigorous
wood of a year old. should be three or
four inches long. This is cut on the
larger end with a sloping cut down
wards, and exactly similar in all re-
spects to that made on the stock; slit
or tongue is made in it upwards, CORE
spending also with that on the stock.
Ihey then require TO be neatly lifted
together, the tongue of the one within
the other, so that the inner banks come
in perfect contact, as we said before, at
least on one side You then want a
piece of prepared cloth, wrapping firm
~ around the parts united. What is
called the grating composition is made

BRIGGS MUST GO.

BY Vote of 44O Against sc the Highest
Body of the Presbyterian Church Re-
jects the Professors appointment.
DETROIT, Mich, May 90.-In a voice
that admits of no misunderstanding the
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church has vetoed the appointment
of DIR. Charles A. Briggs, profess
or elect in Union theological
seminary. The highest court in the
church disapproves his appointment by
vote of 440 to 80, and in the terms of
the now famous compact of 1870 mo
such appointment of professor shall
be considered as a complete cleo
ton if disapproved by a majority
vote of the assembly" Six
hours OF speech making on Friday
preceded the vote, which was by roll
call, and will form part of the min
utes of the assembly. The resolutions
adopted formed the conclusions of DIR.
Patton's report presented on Wednes-
day afternoon.
NEW YORK, May 30-When the vote
of the general assembly was brought
to Prof. Briggs he received it with no
suit is one that / expected" he said.
Il am not at all surprised even by the
largeness of the adverse vote. From
the stand that the directors of the
seminary have taken it must surely be
seen that the vote is not a personal
one, but against the seminary itself"
1t remains now to see whether the di-
rectors of the seminary will stand by
their previous declarations and
refuse to recognize the vote
of the general assembly. They
have already taken the advice of their
counsel, Mr.. Day, who says that, under
the seminary's charter, the directors
cannot legally recognize any inter-
ference by the assembly in the internal
government of the institution.

Old Trees Made New.

Fruit trees that have been neglected
for a number of years and have grown
scrubby, moss-grown and half dead,
may often be renovated and made to
bear several good crops. First, all the
dead wood should be removed with the
saw. Then they may be pruned out
somewhat to admit light and air. Next
the bark should be scraped and all
moss removed, and it might be well TO
wash the bark with some alkaline
preparation. If the bark has the APP
pearance Of being hi4e- bound few
longitudinal Sits on the outer bark will
be of service. Last, but by no means
least, the ground should be thoroughly
stirred. The best way to do this is
with pair Of good horses and plow.
Do not be afraid if you break off some
large roots, because this will only have
a tendency TO start the tree to growing.
Tear up the sod and remove it from
around the tree, and keep the land in
cultivation. Put Oh some barnyard
manure, wood ashes or commercial
fertilizer. The trees viii at once start
to grow and in a year or two viii have
thrown out enough new wood to bear
a good crop.-Farm and Home.
