Sulphate of ammonia is an excellent
temporary fertilizer for lawns, stimulating
the grass into vigorous growth for a
few weeks, but it does not last like bone
dust aud phosphates. When the grass
on lawn becomes brown in summer a
top dressing of sulphate of ammonia
during shower will give it a good
color in few hours, but it Is soon
washed out by heavy rains. II the sui

KITCHEN TABLES.

An excellent kitchen table upon which
to set pots and kitchen utensils is mod
erately low, made of strong wood, aud
covered and bound with zinc. The same
table will be found useful to rest the
marble pastry slab on, as it is so low that
the pastry worker can readily roll and

sary to success. Such table can be
made by any cabinet maker at a reason

TIE MISSION nr WEEDS

No one should disclaim against weeds.
They are certainly troublesome to the
careless farmer, but when rightly con-
sidered are a gentle reminder by benef-
cent nature that we are neglecting work
which should be done. And as virtue
is its own reward, that of careful atten-
ton to business opportunities always
pays the farmer handsomely. Weeds
are thus an inducement for the farmer to
do his whole duty in the thorough cult
walton of the land, which would be apt
to be neglected otherwise. -Amer,caa

EXPERIMENTS II PIa.FEEn1Nn.

1t is we'll known that corn is the chief
fattening food for pigs in a large part of
the United States. Experiments which
were made during three years are re-
ported in full by the Illinois Station,
showing the feeding value for pigs of
corn, of corn and grass, of grass alone,
the comparative value of soaked and
dry corn, the value of droppings from
cattle and of apple pomace in feeding
pigs. In eight trials in which corn alone
was fed, aside from salt and coal slack,
pigs varying in weight from sixty five to
$50 pounds, kept in pens of small lots
without grass, gained at the rate of from
1O.4G pound to 14.73 pounds per
bushel, the average gain being 1886
pounds per bushel of shelled corn.
The rate of gain for food
eaten and the food eaten in
proportion to weight decreased after four
or six weeks feeding with corn only.
There seems to be no constant relation
between the weight of the pigs or the
season of the year and food eaten or the
gains. made.
In four trials pigs fed all they would
cat of shelled corn, with blue grass pas
ture, gained at the rate of 1910 pounds
per bushel of corn. Pigs under like
conditions except that they were fed but
half as much corn, gained at the rate of
1908 pounds per bushel. Pigs in dry
lots fed shelled corn, gained at the rate
OF 1852 pounds per bushel In no case
did pigs make a satisfactory gain after
six or eight weeks feeding on corn alone.
In two trials pigs fed soaked corn ate
more and gained more than those fed on
dry corn, but the difference was not
great. Two pigs in a two acre pasture
lot in which three yearling steers were
feed corn, gained in twenty four weeks
195 pound. In a second trial under like
conditions two pigs gained 231 pounds

REMEDY FOR CHICKENS WITH THE e,pps

.
Mrs. X. r. Taylor, Kentucky, writes
us: The authorities say the best remedy
is prevention, but In wet season this is
difficult of application except by the few
scientific poultry raisers. When preven-
ton has failed, the thing to do is to take
long horse hair and bend it, twisting
the loop so 1t can be probed into the
chickens throat with a spiral motion.
Catch the chicken with the left hand,
press its wings to its sides, hold its head
back, open the bill, put out the tongue
until coarse twine can be hooked over
the raised portions at the base of the
tongue and held beneath the bill firmly.
while the horse hair loop is worked into
the windpipe gently to the depth of two
or two and half inches of the loon.
With a spiral motion twist it out, and
repeat until you bring several buncles
of small, bright, red worms. After all
have been extracted, the chick will, per.
haps, froth little, but in ten minutes it
will eat its food. Ii in twelve or twen-
ty-four hours it still throws its head back
and gasps, repeat the operation. Old
hands says blue grass is better than horse
hair, but the latter is always available.
This is the preventive of sure death. -

A LAZAR-HOUSE
Opposition to the Twenty-SiXth-
Street Hospital.
Property Owners Declare 1t TO Be Nuisance
That Should Either Be Burned
Town or Blown Up.

A "mass Indignation meeting" of prop
erty owners interested, called by the
Potrero avenue Improvem ent Club, was
held yesterday afternoon at Mannerbund
Hail. corner of Twenty fourth street and
Potrero avenue, for the purpose of agitating
for the removal of tie Pesthouse from its
pre- sent location. 1t was haif-past 8 o'clock
before j. ID. Koran, President Of the club,
called the meeting TO order and stated the
object for which it was called. About sixty
people were pre- sent and all were coed
listeners, but only few could be prevailed
upon to talk, and their remarks were very
brief.
Patrick Harrington, a member of the Ex-
ecutive Committee, said that the Pest
house is detrinent to property in the
neighborhocd, and that lot-owners will not
build until it is removed. He said that the
committee had interviewed the Board of
Health regarding the removal, and they had
asked, where shall we go? lie thought
lepers and smallpox patients should be
placed in house built On Shgg Rock or in
a floating house on the bay. The city. he
said, does not own the property on which
the present PesthOuSe is located, and it
ought to be condemned as a nuisance and
either burned down or blown up.
Vice-President Peter Stolberg conceded
with Mr.. Harrington and said that cows eat
the straw Of the beds that are thrown from
the house, ducks eat the Oflal and drink the
water that comes from the leper house;
milk aud eggs from the animals mentioned
are sold all over the city and so all residents
of the city are Interested.
James Hughes said that the removal of
the PeSth0use was question that affected
the whole city. He thought that it ought to
be removed TO lots owned by the city near
the AlmshoGSe.
President Koran suggested that it might
be good plan to swear out warrants for
the arrest Of the Mayor and the members Of
the Board of Health for violating a city or
dinance by maintaining nuisance, which
he claimed the Pesth0uSe undoubtedly is.
Charles Kraeger, Henry Schulken and
John Kenny spoke in regard to the Pest
house being great deiriment to property
in lis present location, and finally conf

tee and the officers of the club, was APP

Daniel Sullivan, a member of the San

present, endeay0red to speak regarding the
