A barn cat always looks sleek and fat
and obtains its own living by catching
rats and mice. House cats are usually
lei so abundantly that they have never
been known to catch mouse, and about
the only thing they were ever known to
catch was the canary bird. Notwith-
standing this fact they are allowed to live
simply because they know no better,
and are themselves pets. A good active
cat that will spend most of its time
about the barn buildings, Kidding them
of mice and other vermin is worth ut
least five dollars per year TO any farmer.
All families OF cats are not good nous
ers, but when you arc able t3sobtain one
Of u family that is, take it to the barn,
provide nice warm place .or it to sleep
and take food TO it until it feels quite
ut home. Should it go to the house
carry it back, aud after time drive it
to the barn if it frequents the house, and
it will soon Learn that the barn is its
home and remain there, catching its
living about the buildings and ields.-

WIDE TIRES on WAGONS.

1t is not difficult to procure wide tires
without adding too much to the weight
OF the wagon. A band Of light tire iron
may be cut of the right length and put
around the wheel over the narrow tire
and fastened in place by clamps drawn
up by screws. This device will serve
for wagon to be used on soft ground,
as in drawing crops OFF the field or carry
ing on manure. The common belief that
wide tires increase the draught of Il
wagon is a mistake. Experiments have
shown that the draught is decreased one
third in soft earth, which is the same as
increasing the draught of narrow tires
over that of wide ones fifty per cent.
The draught OF any wagon is decreased
on sod one-half rs compared with the
dranght on soft ground New York

TIE CULTURE OF nuLns.

At n meeting of the Hartford Conn. J
Horticultural Society Robert Farouhar.
of Boston, delivered an interesting lee
ture upon ''Bubs and Their Culture
Mr. Farquhar described the raising OF
bulbs in Holland. The garden is cut UT
by bitches and canals, SD that the surface
OF the ground is never too dry or wet.
The surface is about two feet above tn,
water. The soil is fine and highly fer.
tilted with well-rottcd manure covered
with sand, the only use of the sand being
q covering.
III Holland there are some 500 acres
devoted to the culture of bulbs, and the
varieties number about 500. Single
varieties arc ut present in greatest de-
mand. In propagating them the largest
are used. They are cut about one half
from the base up in quarters, laid on
shelves, base up, where they remain
about two weeks. They are then re-
versed, lett about eight weeks, and small
ones form at the base, which are set for
new bulbs. In procuring new varieties
only the best and purest colors are used
for crossing purposes.
The general cultivation of tulips is the
same. Towering tulip bulbs can be
selected by the indcntation of the old
parent stem ON The new bulb. The size
and beauty may be greatly increased by
covering with canvass. The best flow.
ers may be secured by growing on, but
not in, well ro.ted manure. Holland is
the only country i'll the world where
bulbs may be grown ut profit. They
have there been cultivated for genera.
tions. Auctions are held every day dur
ing the towering season and the small
dealers buy their stock.
In this country the bulbs may he sc,
any time i'll the. fall and will do fairly
well, but the earlier they arc set the bet.

once IN two years. The different va.
rietics do not all grow to the same size
at a given age. The cheapest varieties,

tory. For house culture they should be
placed in boxes about half full Of vel
rotted compost manure and covered with
sand. Put them i'll cool place, where
they should remain until the roots are
about four inches long, when they should
be brought into the house to flower.
Never wet the top of the bulb OF have
standing water in the box. For glass
culture use pure water, with small
piece of charcoal. After two weeks take
the bulbs out clean and take off the old
shell and put in q cool and dark place.
Change tue water every two weeks.
After the lecture an interesting dis.
cussion followed. Mr.. Farqubsr cut up
humber of bulbs and explained their
strncture.-Farm, Field and Stockman.

Corot and Daublgny, and with ren-
son. Notwithstanding the twenty
years seniority of the former artist,
they were very intimate friends,
