Japan's Historic Tree.

Garden and Forest has a description
of the great pine of Japan, called Dai
Matsu, which stands on the shore of
Lake Biroa, some three miles from Otsu.
The tree is attended by priests, who de-
clare that it is mentioned in the records
of their cloister 500 years ago, and that
it was planted in the year A. d. CTS.
1t is counted among the eight wonders
of Japan, and its singular aspect, as it
stretches its long branches out on every
side over scaffolding formed by more
than 300 poles, has been pictured in
many books of travel. Although it is
fully exposed to the wind, and although
its trunks and branches bear more than
one lightning scar, it is still vigorous,
and only gradual thinning out of its
foliage bears witness to its great antiq-
uity. At two feet above the ground
the diameter of the trunk is fifteen feet
nine inches; its height is eighty-four
feet, and the diameter of its widely
stretched crown is 242 feet, Four
houses formerly stood among it's
branches, but two of them were ruined
in great storm few years ago. The
other two are still largely resorted to by
supper parties on summer evenings, and
the japanese take especial delight in
listening to the dripping of rain into the
water fr ON the boughs as they overhang
the sea.

WHEAT AND RYE ON CORN sTuBBLE.

Many farmers plant corn stubble to
wheat and rye, and are usually in such
hurry that three rows of shocks are
placed together and the balance of the
field sowed. This plan necessitates run
ming over the seeded land to secure the
corn and stalks, but the worst feature is
in leaving unseeded strips across the
field, which are useless to the crops.
Weeds are allowed to take possession of
the strips, and, until the crop of grain
is gathered, the field indicates the shift
less farmer. 1t is not much trouble to
haul off the shocks to the barnyard or to
an adjoining field, setting them up in
rows. They. are then more easily
husked. The husked corn is nearly all
in a body, and is more easily secured.
The stalks and all hitter of leaves and
husks are then more easily gathered up
and saved for further use. The grain
and straw that can be produced on these
strips will repay many times the ex-
pense of hauling off the stalks. If pos
sible, haul the stalks to pasture, or
meadow lot, and thus insure cleanliness
IN husking, Stock will eat the broken
lesyes.-American Agriculturist.

CHOLERA OF FOWLS.

This disease may be known by the
yellowness of the head and a drawn-up
appearance of the face But the most
certain indication is the green and yell
low droppings of the fowl. 1t is dis
ease of the liver, and is due in almost
every case to overlooking, as in the case
of those geese which are fed in close
coops for the production of the enlarged
livers, of which the popular pies known
as pate de fois gras, or Strasburg pies,
are made. Similar gorging with food
has the same effect on fowls, but it goes
beyond the mere enlargement of the
liver, and ends in fatal Inflammation.
There is no remedy; prevention by mo-
derate feeding is the only cure.-New
York Times.

Harvesting Apples ON the Canadian
BORDER.

The harvest season for apples begin
late in summer in many places, but along
the Canadian border September is early
enough, and most owners wait even later
The apples here, says letter from Fan
nington, Me-, to the New York Post
are naturally winter apples, and hey are
picked to supply the late markets. Ap
pie pickers arm themselves with stout
musun bag, which they sling over their
shoulders, and light wooden ladder.
Every apple must be picked carefully
from thetree, breaking it of so that the
stem is left on. All bruised and
"thornedn apples are rejected as unfit
for packing. A dozen pickers go into
one orchard, and soon bring the red and
golden fruit to the wagons in quantities.
When they are picked, the owner begins
the work of sorting them, for so much
depends upon this part of the job that it
is not safe to trust it to any one else.
There are several grades into which the
fruit must be devided. The first in.
cludes all of the large, we'll -ripened, and
handsome ones, without flaw of any
kind visible, and these are packed in,
rows in the barrel as carefully as so many
eggs. Often these fancy apples COM
mand double the price of the other
grades, and the neater they are packed
the better will they sell. The next grade
is only little inferior to the first, but
smaller fruit is packed with it, and few
that have slight creases on the skins,
and all of those with less color. Color
counts in all fancy fruit, the purchasers
will often take apples with highly col
ored appearance, even though it is gen.
orally known that they are inferior to
the green ones. The third grade con-
sists of all the apples that will not 90
into the two higher grades and yet are
too good to convert into cider or to feed
to the animals. The apples In this in
stance are tumbled into the barrels with
out much assortment, and the owner is
satisfied if he can get in return fifty cents
profit per barrel for them.
The "culls" and bruised apples from
the heap are either dried, fed to animals,
kept for home consumption. or con-
verted into cider. Cider in modern
times has partly fallen under tie ban of
temperance reformers; but there are
enough cider-lovers left yet to make the
drink a profitable one for he manufac-
turers.-New York Post.

A Tidele.s Sea.

For practical purposes the Mediterran-
can may be accepted as being what it is
popularly supposed to be, tideless sea.
but it is not so in reality. In many
places there is distinct rise and fall,
though this is more frequently due to
winds and currents than to lunar attrac-
ton.
At Venice there is a rise of from one
to two feet in spring tides, according to
the prevalence of winds up or down the
Adriatic. In many straits and narrow
arms OF the sea there is periodical 1ux
and refux, but the only place where the
tidal influence, properly so called. is un-
mistakably observed is in the Gulf oi
Gabes, where the tide runs at the rate Of
two or three knots an hour and the rist
and fall varies from three to eight feet.

A CULINARY MAKEsHrFT.

II
It is said that some of the most valu-
able discoveries have been made by acci-
dent, and there is every reason to believe
the statement. Not long since, an mex.
perienced housekeeper found herself in
dilemma from which she extracted
herself in rather convenient and orig
inal fashion. Being left alone in the
house for few days, she was somewhat
disconnected by the arrival OF unexpected
guests. 1t was necessary to prepare a
hasty breakfast in order that they might
get an early train; the oatmeal, there
fore, was partly cooked the night before
and was set on the back of the kitchen
range to be ready for the morning. AS
often under such circumstances, the pro-
portions were somewhat out of order,
and when the breakfast time came the
oatmeal was little better than porridge.
Crowding the fire seemed to do no good,
and as there was no time for cooking
anything else, she ventured an expert
ment. Wheat -four was sifted into the
dish and stirred rapidly TO prevent
Jumps. After moments cooking, it
was served, and, as might be imagined,
with good deal of doubt as to results.
But the unanimous verdict of the party
that it was the best oatmeal they had
ever tasted set doubt at rest and taught
the housekeeper very useful lesson.

pREsERyINe THE CARRIAGE.

The preservation Of carriage depends
largely upon the way in which it is
housed, says Good Roads. The barn or
shed should be airy or dry, with a mo-
derate admission of light. Do not let
the vehicle be rolled near a brick wall.
The carriage house should not be con-
nected with the stable or next to the
manure pit-the ammonia fumes arising
from the manure ruin varnish. Do not
allow mud to dry on q newly vanished
carriage; spets and stains will be the re-
suit if you do. Do not permit water to
dry of itself on vanished surface, but
remove all the moisture with chamois
leather only after the soft sponge has
been used.

August
Flower

"'What is August Flower for 7"
As-easily answered as asked. 1t is
for Dyspepsia. 1t is special rem
edy for the Stomach and Liver
Nothing more than this. We believe
August Flower cures Dyspepsia.
We know it will. We have reasons
for knowing it. To-day it has an
honored place in every town and
country store, possesses one of the
largest manufacturing plants in the
country, and sells everywhere. The
reason is simple 1t does one thing,
and3oesitright. Itcures dyspepsiaS

REARING A GOOD COLT.

Hts ~ REARING A GOOD COLT.
To rear good colt, these two things
should be understood and acted upon;
Feed makes the animal and training
makes the disposition. The very best
food should be supplied the colt from
the first, and even while it is with the
mare it should be fed, both through the
dam and by its own mouth. Beginning
in small way the ability to digest food
is cultivated aud increased, and its first
growth is the foundation on which after
growth is built. And as that is the
better, so this is. The stronger and
broader the foundation, the same will be
the superstructure. And as long as
digestion is perfect the quantity of food
given may be measured only by that test.
Corn is not good food for growing
animals. Flesh is more needed than fat.
The English farmers use beans and oats
ground together as the staple horse feed,
aud the value OF it is perceived when the
composition of this food is understood.
The English horse bean has 25t per
cent. of flesh-forming elements-protein,
as it is called--in it and only II per
cent. of fat, and oats have twelve per
cent. of the former and six per cent. of
of the latter. Thus two measures of oats
and one of beans have 49f per cent. of
the protein and 49, of fat, ratio of 2t
of the flesh forming elements to one of
the fat-forming. This affords materials
for the abundant growth of muscle SO
necessary to the future value of the
young animal. But it does more. All
the great vital organs are made up of
muscular tissue, and thus the lungs,
liver, kidneys, heart and other fibrous
tissues are more highly developed, and
it is upon this development that the con-
stitution, the future strength of the
animal, depends. With corn as the
principal food this healthful structure is
not possible. There is too much fat aud
starch and not enough nitrogen. The
muscles are soft and weak, and the vital
organs, upon which the work or product
afterward depend, are not strong enough
to stand the wear, and the constitution
gives way at an early age. This ap-
plies as much to calves as to colts.
While the horse expends its force in
motion, the COW does this in making
milk. Both these products require
large expenditure of nitrogen, and a
highly nitrogenous food and the ability
to digest and assimilate it are needed and
this disposal of food is only possible
when the vital organs are we'll de-
vcloped. This development is only
effected by the use of suitable food
provided, from the birth of the
animal.-American Dairyman.

SHEEP AS WEED KILLERS.

AS eaters of brush and noxious plants,
sheep will do good service, but they
must not be kept at it steadily, or they
will grow thin, and their feeces will
suffer in consequence. The flock must
be compelled to browse only few days
at time. After the qualification of this
diet ceases, there is no longer profit in
confining sheep to such food. No other
live stock demand more constant change.
Ii the sheep be divided into several
focks, one may follow another into
field where brush or weeds are becoming
troublesome, and each returned again
after weeks relief on grass. Most
plants can be killed by removing the
leaves during the summer. The bushes
should be cut down, that the focks may
destroy them by eating every new sprout.
Briers are more easily subdued early in
the season. Large fields should be
browsed in small plats by means OF
movable fences. When grass has taken
the place of brush or weeds in one divis-
ion of the field. it may be used profit
ably as an exchange pasture, every sec
ond week. Several bells should be kept
on the flock browsing in tall weeds or
brush. Sheep are very social, and
nothing will so soon cause cessation of
industry as feeling of lonliness. Bells
also deter dogs from attacking the flock
hidden in an overgrown field. The flock
at this important work must also have a
regular and abundant supply of pure
water and of salt, aud be frequently vis-
tied by the owner That the cleaning
of the land is not the whole object of
sheep keeping must be borne in mind.
When sheep are changed to other fields,
or to the fold, the time from sundown to
dark is preferable, as then they are sat
isfed with the days exercise and food,
and will follow with less trouble and lie
more quietly than at noon or daybreak.
Never drive flock roughly. The sheep,
which are always Led, make the best
