A cosrLY BOTTLE.

One of the most cruel things which wicked
men can do is to sell strong drink to ignor-
ant heather savages. Thousands of barrels
of strong drink are sent from Europe and
America TO Africa to poison the benighted
Africansg and OF late strong drink has been
sold in Alaska to the Indians aud has pro-
duced most ruinous results. The Govern
ment prohibited such sale, and now and
then a man gets what he deserves. Stephen
Merritt of New York, who visite1 Alaska,
says he saw a man sent to prison for nine
months for selling a bottle of whisky.
He was fireman on the ship in which Mr..
Merritt sailed, aud when he went on shore
in Alaska he took a bottle OF whisky which
cost him a dollar, thinking to make some-
thing by selling it for a larger amount. An
Indian woman bought the whisky and paid
him two dollars, so he made a dollar; but he
violated Unite1 States law, and soon found
that he was ''out OF a job" and was landed
in jail for nine months. Mr.. Merritt and
otders tried to persuade the officers to let him
off with a tine, so that he could keep his
place as fireman where he was needed, but
sney refuse !, AMI so he was sent to Jail. IL

NAMING THE FARM.

Says the Rural New Yorker: "What
is the financial value of an attractive
name for a farm2 The bestowal OF dis.
tinguishing names is becoming somewhat
general; why not give sufficient thought
and deliberation to the selection of
pleasing, and where practicable, charac.
teristic onesl Doesn't such a designa-
ton help to make the pleasant associa-
tons of a place more lastingl Then,
again, the owner Of "Brookside," "The
Oaks" "Elmswood" or "Bayview," eau
hardly be looked npon as a "common
farmer" Moreover, such a name is a
conscious or unconscious stimulus to the
owners best efforts to improve and beau.
tify the farm, and take precautions that
its products shall be first-class and leave
it only in first-rate shape. Then, if the
goods are stamped with the name of the
place, hasn't it a commercial value once
its reputation has been established Let
there be more distinguishing names fol-
farms, and let them be always attractive
and chara steristic."

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


The way to spoil a hog is to overfeed
him with corn.
Cook the small potatoes and feed them
to the poultry.
Allow at least one foot square to each
fowl on the roosts.
The way to spoil a COW is to pound
her with the milking stool.
T. H. Hoskins says that all the Rus
sian apples do finely in Vermont.
Contentment, rest and plenty of proper
food are the best aids in fattening fowls.
The way to spoil a driving horse is to
cut him with the whip when he does not
expect 1t.
When it is an item to have the eggs
hatch use a rooster that is not too fat or
too heavy.
The fattening of poultry should al.
ways be done as rapidly as possible to
save time and expense.
A good work can be done in keeping
down the lice in the poultry-house if
care is taken to whitewash the inside
regularly every month or six weeks.
With good land the average farmer
succeeds very we'll in growing crops and
at moderate cost. But how to keep his
land good at least cost is the matter
wherein he fails.
The Farm Journal suggests that it is
a good time to make those high bushel
boxes that crate up one above another
and are so handy in field and cellar at
root harvest. They come in right for
apples aud for retail marketing.
Fruit, shade and evergreen trees
standing in grass ground should have
the grass removed ana a mound of fresh
earth the size of "A water pail placed
above the tree. This needs 20 be done
every fall and removed in the spring.
A. W. Cheeyer, in the New England
Farmer, says: "The Baldwin is specially
superior as a market apple, because it
comes into bearing early, is a great
bearer and the fruit suits the market,
beth here and abroad. The Northern
Spy may be the mex choice, but ii so
the grower must expect to wait a long
time for his returns, as it comes into
bearing late, several years behind the
Baldwin,"

FARM DRAINAGE,

Where water after rains stands for a
long time in the burrows and slight de.
pressions in the ground, and on lands
where the shoes of the farmer, except
in periods of drought, are habitually
clogged with sticky mud, and the hoofs
of animals as they sink into the yielding
soil make cavities that maintain their
shape for days, oftentimes holding water,
the necessity for drainage Of some kind
is too clearly indicated to admit of In
doubt. For changing such unfavorable
conditions, wherever the lay of the land
will permit, open surface drainage is
often resorted to at first.
While such drains are useful in some
cases in the matter of a permanent i'm
provement of the soil they amount to
but little and are liable to be the cause
of impoverishment in the soil itself by
carrying of fertilizing matter into the
gullies and streams. Where the surplus
rain that falls upon the ground can be
led of from the surface in the same
clear state in which it descended from
the clouds, the soil receives no injury
from its escape, but it is only under
occasional peculiar conditions that this
will occur.
This is so well understood by most
c%ultiyators that other methods have
come into use. One, formerly more
common that at present, was to throw
the wet land into high and wide ridges
IN the fall aud leave it in that condition
until spring. When cultivation is about
to begin these ridges are further widened
II iattened out, atfording a series of
rather wide spaces, much better fitted
for cultivation, but with very undesirable
bitches between them, often holding
stagnant water throughout the entire
season. While such a practice will not
draw fertility away from the soil, it CON
signs a considerable portion of it to non.
usage and is otherwise Objectionable in
many respects
The only real and praCt al method OF
improving wet farm lanGs ny which their
condition is permanently changed for
the letter is by the use of underground
drains for which tile is the most common
and best material. Where these ar,
placed at proper depths, sag from tire,
to four feet, and At suitable distance

A WINNING COMBINATION.

Bees, chickens, and small fruits make
a winning combination. They interfere
with each other as little as possible, al
though the bees may eat some of the
fruit, and the chickens, unless fenced
out, do likewise. But the chickens can
be fenced out. Bees and chickens get
along quite smicable, the former occu-
plying the heights, while the latter feed
upon the ground. White clover agrees
with both. From it the bees sip the
whitest honey of the year, the chickens
find in it food for growth and egg pro-
duction. BY all means, if you are so
situated that you can, try this combina.
ton and see whether or not it is a profit
