Tho Kind of COW to Rux.

Beware of the COW or heifer with {
masculine head, as we'll us the COW sus
piciously fat. The latter is probably
fat because she is shy breeder and
has Il calf only once in awhile. Buy the
COW with IT, 'aotherly look. We can.
not describe 1t in words, but every man
who has his eyes open knows the ex,
preston of maternity or motherliness.
She may be thin in flesh, not half Sc
good-loolSing as others, but it is simply
because she has been duplicating her
self regularly, and thus fulfilling her
mission. If she has the form and the

credit, buy her. Don't buy the long
legged, thin-chested, consumptive-
looking animal under any circum-
stances, no matter what the breeding.

there's cure for it in DR.. Pierce's

Coughs, but for Consumption itself
in all its earlier stages. It's rea-

remedy. It's SO certain, that its
makers guarantee it to benefit or

refunded. With a medicine that is
certain, this can be done.
There's a cure for Catamh, too,

you'll get $500 cash. It's a bona

Non-Sitting Breeds,

A well known authority on poultry
writes:
The question of breeds is one over
which very many battles are fought. ]
purpose simply to state the merits of
those which l have kept or of which 1
have personal experience, without going
further into the subject. Much depends,
naturally, ON where the fowls are to be
kept. | have long, narrow pens, which
are not big enough to keep in grass, and
are therefore suitable for the fowls that
bear confinement we'll Ny other yards
are each the sixth of an acre III extent
and sown to grass. For the young birds
there is an acre of grass, divided across
the middle, and therefore not all used at
once.
The non-sitting breeds keep and find
successful are black and golden spangled
Hamburgs, which are not only beautiful
birds, but incessant layers. The only
drawback is that there eggs ara small
apa white, which color is a characteristic
of the eggs of non-sitting breeds. For
the table the Hamburgs are too small,
but have flavor like the game fowl, and
the golden spangled birds are, in fact,
more like pheasants, both to look at and
to eat, than ordinary fowls. Crossed
with any large bird, such as Dorizing or
Rock, an excellent table bird is produced.
Leghorns, either white or brown, may
also be recommended as perpetual layers.
These stand confinement well, while the
Hamburgs, if closely shut up, need more
attention. My own golden Hanburgs
bear confinement very well, out no
doubt, as rule, Leghorns are better for
small pens.
The term perpetual" layers faust be
taken with reservations. No fowls lay,
or should be encouraged to lay, during
the melting season; but, roughly speak
ing, these non-sitting breeds may be said
to lay steadily, if pullets-which always
begin at six months or earlier-f0r nine
or ten months of the year. If hens,
these can't be depended on for more than
eight months have found Andslusians
also excellent layers of large white eggs,
and these are, besides, non-sitters and
larger birds for the table, though not
nearly as good table birds. OF the sit
ting breeds / will write another time.

A BRUSH BOAT.
How to Load, Unload and Burr Brush
with Least Expense and Labor.

How to Load, Unload and Burr Brush
with Least Expense and Labor.
For removing large accumula ions of
brush from orchards and elsewt ere the
brush boat depicted here and recently
described in Rural New Yorker will be
found exceedingly convenient.
This boat is made of two ordinary mud
boat planks, placed with the rear ends
about eight feet apart and the front ends
about four feet. The latter are fastened
together by pinch plank foot or
eighteen inches wide and of the proper
length, bolted to the curved portion.
and there are three beams of 4 by 4
scantling, one at the rear, one at the
front and one at the center, and raised
to clear the ground about six or eight
inches. Upon these nail covering of
inch boards, and with hook cleyis
bolted to the center of the plank at the
front end, by which the vehicle is to be
drawn, the boat is completed. In load
ing the brush commence at the rear end.
1t can project considerably if a little
pains are taken to bind it with that in
front, the load being kept some what in
the shape of the boat. The easiest way
to dispose of the brush is to burn it as
drawn. There is no difficulty in burn
ing green brush if good fire is started
at first with any old rubbish or dry ma
terial. Unload compactly on the fire.

Planting Potatoes.

In his book 1.-The New Potato Cult
ure," Mr.. Carman advises plantin g the
seed pieces in depth according to the
soil, whether inclining to clay or sand,
from three inches to five inches. The
distances of the hills or drills, and the
pieces in them, should be regulated by
the vigor and size OF the varieties plant
ed. Rank growing varieties, the same
as tall growing corn, will not yield well
if planted too closely together. Expert
ments with placing the fertilizer under
and over the seed pieces give results III
favor of the fertilizing over the pieces.

To do this before commencing the
load, place on one side of the boat a stiff
pole or rail, with chain attached in the
center, and load on this, and when the
load is drawn to the fire, to the other
end of this chain is attached another
sufficiently long to pass over the load
and the fire. Then the team is uncoupled
from the boat and hitched to the end of
the chain, and the team goes ahead, and
with proper judgment the load is placed
directly on the burning pile better than
it could be done by hand, and in a very
short time and in the best possible con-
dition for burning. On such a boat can
be placed all any team should draw, and
more than would be placed on a wagon,
and the device being low, the load is out
of the way of standing trees, and can be
much more conveniently put on and
taken off.
