scALY LEG IN POULTRY.

The scaly leg is caused by the pres
encc of a small insect that gets beneath
the scales, and it is therefore contagious,
but it spr,a ads, as do all vermin, more
rapidly where proper care is not taken
10 keep the roosts and nests clean, and
where the manure is allowed to lie and
ferment under the roosts. To extermi-
nate it, begin by bathing. the legs well
twice a day in olive oil, or still better in
a mixture of one quart of skinned milk
and teacupful of kerosene oil, wiping
dry after the bath. As good way is to
put the mixture in dish and then force
the fowl to stand in it few minutes.
While this treatment is going on they
should have dry quarters, and be kept
from running out in the wet grass, and
should be we'll fed. The nests and
roosts should be brushed with kerosene,
and all filth taken out of the henhouse.
In few days those scales will come of,
but care should be taken for while to
prevent taking cold, lest it develop leg
weakness or rheumatism. A little of
the Douglass mixture in the water will
be good for them at this time. Boston

The Bath in Japan.

The English woman's morning club"
is, as every one knows, a plunge in cold
or slightly warm water and a vigorous
rubbing down after it, which gives her
skin the brilliancy of white ivory and the
smoothness of velvet, and which gives
her, too, the blush tints in youth that
blossom out later in life, alas to full
blown roses of crimson hue. The bath
which gives the almond-eyed doll woman
of Japan her exquisite soitness and sup
pleness Of skin is a nightly bath and
morning wash in water that is as hot as
can be borne. In the bath she takes a
prolonged soaking, the washing proper
being done on the bathroom floor, fol-
lowed by second and final soaking,
drying of with soft towels and lounge
in bath wrapper. The poorest hear Of

large shin bone and have the butcher
split it, then take out the mario W in one

nestle animals. They train bullocks to
perform very difficult tasks. A Hindu
juggler will lie down on his back aud
place a small piece of stout wood, two
feet high and six inches in diameter, on
the lower part of his stomach. At his
command a trained bullock win set its
four feet on the top of this stick and
balance itself. The juggler will theI
place another piece of wood, similar to
the first, a few inches from it, and the
bullock will shift its position to it with

gently undulating-most all the plowing
is done by the sulky pillow, using three
stout mules OF horses to each plow. The
advantages these plows have over the
old hand plow is much more and better
work; the land is evenly turned over at
uniform depth and no slips or missed
places left. The plow being supported
on wheels is not so hard on the team,
nor on the plowman, who rides instead
Of walking, and having the free use of
his hands, can manage his team much
better. Two such plows will turn over
with ease three acres per day.
After the blowing is thoroughly done the
next point is to have the soil made mel
low and free of lumps-not only on the
surface, but some three or more inches
below the surface. This fning of the
soil can only be done by first narrowing
with the three horse spring tooth har
row, followed by the roller. This firms
the ground. In two weeks time harrow
again, crossing the field the second time,
and Just before seeding harrow once
more, then roll, and follow with the
drill, using one and a half bushels of
wheat and from $50 to 800 lbs. of dis
solved bone per acre. We always aim to
put in about twenty acres of wheat each
season after the above manner, and aim
to get it in by the goth of September,
and rarely fail of having an extra good
crop. We think the early plowing aud
thorough preparation of the soil have
much to do with this abundant yield. 1

GOOD WALKS FOR THE FARM,

Most farm premises are not adequate.
ly provided with properly made walks.
The footpath from the front gate to the
house, and from the house to the barn
should be covered with some better ma
terial than dirt. In a section where fat
stones can be easily obtained they will
make the most economical and durable
walk. They need not be wide enough
to reach across the walk, but may be
laid side by side until the desired width
Is obtained. Cobble stone may be used.
In making a stone walk bank the earth
at least two inches above the level, and
press the stones firmly into this bank.
Round stones should be two inches or
less in diameter, and pounded down
with a sledge. 1t will be difficult to
keep the grass out of this walk unless
salt, or very strong brine, is frequently
scattered over it. Gravel, when easily
obtalnable, makes a durable and cheap
walk, and one that is always dry. The
foundation should be excavated to the
depth Of at least one foot, and filled

Catching seal. With Hooks.

Mr. Dyer, who lives on small island
near Seven Hundred Acre Island, Isles
borough, Me-, has unique way of catch
ing seals. He takes a pole several feet
in length, to which are attached num-
Der of common Goldfish hooks with lan-
yards several feet in length. The hooks
are baited with herring.
This contrivance is anchored and
buoyed, the hooks being just below the
surface. The seals in swallowing the
herring become hooked and are caught.

PREpAarNe>FoR THE FALL SEEDING.


After the harvest is over and men and
teams have rested few days, the oat
stubble and the second crop clover
ground, intended for seeding early this
fall, should be turned over, writes F.
Sanderson of Baltimore, Md.
The land must be plowed in time so
that the stubble may rot, and also that
the soil may become settled and firm be-
fore seeding. All practical farmers have
long since come TO the conclusion that
the early plowed land kept mellow by
the free use of the harrow and roller,
but firm underneath, yields the most
most grain and the best quality.
In our limestone districts, notably in
the Cumberland Valley, the corn land is
mostly drilled to wheat. The corn ripens
early, some years as early as September
9th. 1t is cut off by contract at SIPS
to S1.50 per acre, and placed in shock,
sixteen corn rows making one row of
shocks, and these shocks are securely
tied. The corn ground is thoroughly
narrowed and then rolled. The wheat
irill follows the roller, putting in II
bushels Of wheat and 250 pounds of some
standard fertilizer per acre. This corn
ground wheat will produce from twenty
TO thirty bushels per acre, and in some
exceptional cases as much as forty
bushels per acre has been produced upon
fields ranging from thirty to fifty acres
IN extent.
But few Of US have limestone land,
nor can we obtain such enormous Yields.
Those of US having land of good quality
should commence right by having what
ground may be needed for either wheat
or rye plowed now, and have the furrows
uniform depth and well turned over,
the sod may rot qIickly. In our sec

NOT AN ISSUE THIS YEAR
The amount OF fermented liquors consumed
in the United States for the year ending June
80, 1892, was 977, 479, ,76l gallons. Counting
23l cubic inches TO the gallon, this amount
of beer would make a canal ten feet deep,
fifty feet wide. and over forty-iive miles

from all causes every year in the United

By "hard drinkers" we mean those who
drink themselves drunk. Place their corpses
lengthwise in line, allowing five feet ten
