The Baltimore Orlole.

The Baltimore oriole is u member OF
the great raven family, and calls the
crow cousin. It's relationship to this
latter bird will in measure account
for its love of gay colors and It's iae'. OF
scruples in appropriating whatever it
wishes. Ordinarily the Baltimore orr
ole, or starting, as it should be called,
finds the material for its nest in such
bits of thread and fiber as can be
picked up in the fields; but very
often it visits the human habitation in
it's vicinity and steals from them what
ever it can. When it can make choice
it selects the brightest and gayest col
ored materials, and in a number of in
stances nests have been found as beau
tiful as human skill could possible have
made them. Indeed, the expertness OF
the bird in Interviewing its materials
is such that according to Wilson, the
naturalist, one old lady to whom he
showed a nest seriously proposed hav-
ing the bird taught to darn stockings. -

MISTAKES IN MANAGEMENTS.
Some Mistakes which, IL Corrected, Will
Enhance Farmers Profits.

Some Mistakes which, IL Corrected, Will
Enhance Farmers Profits.
We are hardly through one mistake
before me make another. The com
mon mistake which keeps down profit
is not draining enough. This is most
apparent in wet seasons. There is not
enough fertilizer used. Save and make
all you can, and buy more if you have
not enough. There is no profit in light
crops.
As a rule we pillow too much. More
grass and less blowing will increase in
come, reduce the outlay and keep up
soil.
Too poor stock is kept. High-grade
: horses, cattle, sheep and swine are the
only kind that pays to feed. Start with
the best you can get, and keep it up and
improve it if possible. Use only full
blood males Any otheris delusion and
going back.
1t is mistake to buy poor tools be-
cause they are cheap. The best is the
cheapest. Good tools and good teams,
both kept in good order, are the only
kinds which pay.
Next to the inferior stock is poor
seed. We can always have good seed
by little timely care in selection and
storing. All seed should be kept in a
cool, dry place, and properly tested be-
fore you risk the years work upon it.
We make mistake in not providing
full variety of fruits and berries on
the farm They cost but little, and are
source of pleasure, profit, health and
refinement No family improves on
corn bread and pork every day of the
year. A pleasing variety of fruits and
vegetables is means of health and civ
ilization.
Neglect in making repairs of fences,
tools and harness at the right time is
wasteful and often disastrous. There
is time and season for everything, and
all these should be attended before cul-
tivation of crops begin. 1t saves time,
money and loss.
1t is a mistake not to have tools for
making such repairs. The boys will be-
come more handy and slzillful if they
soon learn to use the square and saw,
brace, bit and plane, and anvil and ham
mer. Provide tools and encourage the
boys. They will spoil some material
and break some tools, but they will
form habits of industry and thrift, and
get training of hand and eye that will
be help all their lives.
Neglect to keep up fences is a source
Of loss and demoralizing to neighbor.

The fondness for sweets on the part
of the horse has been taken advantage
of in different parts of the world, and
his appetite for saccharine matter ca
tered to with the best results in improv-
ing his condition. Horses thrive re-
markably well on sugar and molasses,
and these Observation-Disclosures
terms in this connection-have been reg
ularly used since 1878 in Australia and
South America and other parts of the
world for getting horses into condition
for sale, and also for colts while win
tering in the park. In raising colts
there is a risk of their suffering from
stoppage of the bowels if fed entirely
on dry food, and to avoid this they are
allowed carrots or roots of some kind
in addition to their dry food. Sugar
not only improves the condition of the
colts, but prevents any risk on the
stoppage above referred to. The way
it is used is to dissolve the sugar in wa
ter and pour it on the chaff or cut hay,
taking care that the food is well mixed,
and in day or two the colt will be
found licking the sides of the manger
long after the last morsel of the chaff
has been eaten. -Southern Cultivator.

WHAT ONE BOY DID.
And what One Did Other. May DO.


We can not refrain from telling the
boys and the girls what gentleman in
this city told us not long since about his
boy. This account is such an apt illus
tration that we will give it to them.
At the age of ten years this boy be-
gan keeping poultry. His father built
him q fowl-housc for which nothing
was ever paid by the son, but this was
the only expense which was not borne
by the young fancier himself, He kept
White LeghCrns, and his spare time out
of school hours was devoted to caring
and enjoying his flock. He worked Mt
the business and it was good for him.
1t taught him, says the Poultry World,
regularity, and involved responsibilities
in seeing that his pets did not suffer.
When he reached the age of twenty
he went into his fathers Office. His
bank book at that time showed bal
ance in his favor of 81, 900, cleared from
his poultry while he attended school.
Those who think it mot worth the
trouble" may ponder this result with
editieation to themselves.
That one thousand dollars was worth
more than one hundred thousand cents
to the lad. 1t represented more than
money 1t was the material evidence
of much that could not be expressed in
dimes and dollars. To begin with

with the owner Business habits
also were necessarily formed in the
course of this decade which would be
useful in future. Independence was in
culcated; a sense of being of some i'm
| portance and the means of doing for
himself were accompanying features
| All these are worth much, and many a
worried father and distracted mother,
who wish that the boys had something
to do "that they liked to do and
amounted to something" would do well
to follow the course adopted by this ia.

HERE AND THERE.

1t is so often true that when a SOW
comes to her best days she must be
fatted off on account of her unruly dis
position, bad habits that she has fallen
into, such as opening gates, breaking
fences and other bad traits. How does
she come by these bad traits? They
come partly on account of the careless
ness of the owner in having poor gates,
doors insecurity fastened and bad
fences, but the most prolific source of
these habits is insufficient feeding
