About Getting DiScinIine.

In the following cold and unfeeling
manner Eleanor Kinks Idea" whacks
those comfortable philosophers who sit
back upon their comfortable cushions
and Instruct poor mortals in the noble
science of getting discipline by over
coming obstacles:
1t is good for the body and for the soul to
overcome obstacles-a few otstacles-now and
then an obstacle. But when the road winds
all the way up hill and there are nothing bnf
obstacles, 1t is rather the reverse of pleasant
10 De tod that such travelling is good for one,
And 1t seems such d mockery, too, coming. as
IL generally does, from those who have had no
experience of the hardness of life. Sometimes
we get such testimony FROM royal souls. those
who have overcome, who have climbed and
reached the top. 1t is comrade who speaks
10 us then, and we are inspired to brace M, and
try 1t again. But when the would be comforter
has only theory to go upon, It is an imperti-
hehce 10 hlnt that incessant toll and trouble
should be regarded as divine agents for deyel-
opment.

Killing Fowls Inside a Barrel.

The following occurs in Profits in
Poultry, published by the q. Judd com
pany: Fowls are best slaughtered thus:
A barrel is provided with number of
nails driven in around the open edge
A number OF loops Of Irvine about six
inches long are also provided The bird
Is fastened by nooSing the loop around
the legs and is hung in the barrel head
downward. The head is then taken in
the left hand and ii sharp pointed knife
'is pushed through the throat close to the
vertebrp and down forward SO lis to cut
the throat clear through, by which SEN
satlon is at once arrested and the fowl
bleeds to death rapidly and painessly.
Being confined in the barrel. the splash
ing from the huttering is avoided and
everything is done in IA clean and easy
manner"

AT beekeepers meeting. where the
subject OF winteling bees tame up for
discussion, DR.. Miller, who wants air for
his bees, expressed Il preference for a
large cellar-one that gives sufficient
space to place the hives without crowd
ing. In his opinion the depth under
ground should be about eight feet. The
entrance should be on the side where the
general prevailing, winds would not
come If on IA side hill. let the entrance
be where you can walk in on the level
1t should have donblp doors.
President Taylor. commenting on Dr.
Miller's remarks. said that the sun
would penetrate through doors more
readily than through the sides of the
building, and the door. therefore. should
not be where the sun would shine upon
it very long The north or east would
be preferable and avoid the sun.
DR.. Mason, who considers that pure
air is more needed in early spring than
In winter, gave the dimensions of his
cellar, which are IA by % feet. In this
he has wintered fifty colonies

seems to have got burned little deeper
than was necessary; SO Mr., Garrison adj
dressed an open letter to the president
and faculty of Harvard, yIenouncing the
whole secret society business and charg-

and immortality.
President Eliot made no formal reply,
but to direct questions explained THAI
the faculty has nothing to do with secret
societies and will take no action; that
no one is under obligations to join them

The use of wood ashes as IA fertilizer
should be more generally understood.
Hard wood ashes are much richer in
potash than soft wood ashes and are
relatively more valuable Leached wood
ashes are hardly worth more than the
labor of spreading on the land as "a rule,
but on light sandy soil they have a
tendency to compact, which is IN aid to
its physical condition, but it does not act
as IA manure, Unleached wood ashes is
almost special fertilizer for all fruit
crops and only needs the addition of a
little heterogeneous manure to make it
complete. They should never be mixed
with such heterogeneous manure as hen
manure and other animal excrements,
for they start chemical action in conse-
quence the nitrogen is thrown off in the
form of ammonia and is wasted. IN
leached ashes form often cheap source
of potash.
