About Corn.

il one expects to shell the corn for
for feeding or for market, providing
n is sure of good seed and that the
ground is not so foul as to require
narrowing during the first two weeks
after the young corn is out of the
ground to keep down the weeds. If
the corn is to be cut and shocked into
fodder and fed to cattle without huSk-
ing, three stalks i'm the hill are more
satisfactory. Three thousand hills
would produce sixty bushels of $50
ears each to the acre. The stalks
would be finer, too, and would furnish
a greater quantity and better quality
of fodder for feeding purposes. There
are cases where the unSOundnesS of
seed and fOulness of the ground, with
insufficient time to harrow it thor
Oughly before planting, necessitateS
persistent narrowing to suppress the
weeds while the young stalks are
shooting from the ground, and this
makes it advisable to plant three
grains to the hill for growing corn
for Smelling, and four grains for pro-
ductiOn of fodder cOrn.-Orangc Judd

Sunshine for Stock.

The necessity of sunlight for ami
mails cannot be too strongly empha-
sized. The following experiment re-
lated in the Rural World shows this
right well. A man took two calves
sixty days old, weighing 1S6 and 1872
pounds, both deep red in color, and
placed the heavier one in a dark
room where the feed could be deliv-
cred by a spout The other he placed
I'm a similar room, where it had plen-
ty of sunlight, and both had the same
feed three months. At the end of
that time the one in the light room
weighed 400 pounds and was apDar-
emily healthy. The other weighed
only $50 pounds and had faded to a
dull dirty red, and for a week or two
after restoration to light, kept its
eyes closed most of the time. 1t
never recovered its former bright
color, or from the other effects Of its
three months in darkness.
There may be some advantage in
keeping fattening animals in dark
cned stables, for it keeps them quiet
and they do not worry off flesh.
Growing animals, mich cows and all
other animals should have plenty Of
sunlight and pure air. They can
both be obtained in the stable with
out letting the cattle run around Il
straw stack or leaving cracks and
windows open on cold days and
nights: How often do We see pigs
and hogs shut up in a small pen in
one end of the barn away from all
light. What arc not carried out dead
during the winter come out in the
spring looking pale and faded and

Medical Discovery. If other medi-

be guaranteed. This is. If it

cas- for which it's recommended,
YOU get your money back. 1t
isn't a "cure-all," but it does cure
all diseases arising from a torpid
or deranged liver, or from impure
blood. For all Scrofulous, Skin and
Scalp Diseases, it's a positive rem
edy. Even Consumption, or Lung
scrofula, is cured by it, if taken in
time and given a fair trial. That's
all that's asked for ia fair trial.
Then, if it doesn't help you, there's
no pay.

remedy to purify the blood and in

A Unique Political Spot.

Perhaps there is only n place in the
world where the flags Of four nations.
each on its own soil, may be seen waving
in friendly rivalry or in defiance accord
ing to the condition of European poll
tics. Midway in the narrow channel at
the southern entrance to the Red Sea is
the dark gray island of Perrin, above
which floats the union jack Of Britain.
Surmounting the steep cliff on the neigh
boring shore Of Arabia is the crimson
banner Of Turkey. and on the opposite
coast is the border line between the Red
Sea territories Of France ard Italy,
whose flags are flung to the breeze
within half q mile Of each other. II
these four nations should have a serious
falling out, 1t would be interesting to
watch the corner OF the word where

THE PSULTRY-YARD.
Tho Pou!tcrer's Friend.

Among the pany enemies with
which the pOultryman has to contend
none are so subtle a the parasites
which suck away the life-blOOd of his
flock, depriving them first of grace
full motion. then of glossy plumagc.
growth. activity, and finally of en-
istcncc itself if they be not removed.
No flock is exempt from their attacks,
however wcll-bred and handsomely
housed it may be. and whether owned
by labOrer or lord. These insect foes
are no respectOr of persons and will
creep in and multiply in unlOOked-fOr
ways. Worst OF all, the amateur
seldom knows what causes his flock
to drOop, and administers drugs and
condition powders without effect. The
old pOultry-keeper notes the first
symptoms; in fact is likely to at
tribute any difficulty among his birds
to these insidiOuS pests, and to get
out the lard and kerosene with which
to rub the heads and under the wings
of his charges. But the owner of
several hundred birds breads the task
and. although knowing well its inn
pOrtance, is prone to put it of, be-
lieving himself unable to spare the
time required to catch and anOint
every individual in the yards. Net
infrequcntly it is a process of several
days, during which time other :hings
must wait and suffer. Anything to
hasten the work he should regard
with interest. 1t was with just this
object i'm view that the simple foot
power continuance shown was in

There Is in Missouri a lake, perched

from 50 to 100 feet below the level Of
the earth surrounding it, fed by no sur
face streams, untouched by the winds,
dead as the Sea Of SOdOm. There is no
point of equal altitude from which water
could flow within hundreds of miles, and
vet it has a periodical rise OF 80 feet or
over, which is in no way affected by the

N%:anurtnS Fruit Treos.

To place manure at the trunks of
trees, is very much as if a man were
fed by placing food AT his feet. The
feeding roots of trees always extend
farther than their branches. Long
before the branches meet. the roots
i%nterlace. The proper way TO feed
such trees is to deposit manure in the
middle of the rows between the trees
where the feeding roots are. rather
than at their base where the roots are
too large to asSimilate nourishment.
