HOW TO rArrEN POULTRY.

An experiment has lately been tried
Of feeding geese with turnips, cut in
small pieces like dice, but less in size,
and put into trough of water; with
this food alone the effect was, that six
geese, each when lean, weighing only
nine pound, actually gained twenty
pound each in about three weeks fat
tening. Malt is an excellent food for
geese and turkeys; grains are pre-.
ferred for the sake of economy, unless
for immediate and rapid fattening;
the grains should be boiled afresh.
Other cheap articles for fattening are
oatmeal and treacle, barley meal and
milk, boiled oats and ground malt.
Corn before given TO fowls should
always be crushed and soaked in water.
The food will thus go further, and it
will help digestion. Hens fed thus
have been known TO lay during the
whole of the winter months. Home

OvercrOwd themselves by growing a

overcrowd themselves by growing q
multitude of rooted runners.
If such natural strawberry soils are
set to variety which makes compar.
atively few runners, like the Charles
Downing or Bubach, a bed can be
made TO last two years, and we have
known bed of Downings six years
old to bear big lot of fruit, although
the berries ran decidedly small. On
moist, loamy soils, naturally prime
grass lands, Il is very difficult 70 do
anything with an old berry patch.
Still, the writer saw a good-sized
bed of Bubachs near Boston recently
which were bearing a good second
crop on just such land. The owner
had mulched the rows thickly just
before the first crop, and as the ground
had been thoroughly weeded, and
contained no grass roots, it remained
pretty clean, although no further
work was done upon it. This season
it had become rather grassy among
the plants, yet not so much SO but
that plenty of good big berries were
gathered.
Very few old beds are in such good
shape as was this one. Some growers
practise moving and burning over the
bed right after the last picking. The
burning destroys blight, insects and
some kinds of weeds, but the straw
berry plants will start again with
vigorous green leaves. Then ridge
is plowed up in the centre between
the rows, plowing from the rows so as
to leave a strip of plants about foot
wide, with gutter on each side.
Next take sharp hoe, or better, a
wide-bladed mattock or bog hoe, and
clean out the weeds and grass in the
rows of plants left. Afterward Guilt
vate the ridge until the cutters are
filed and the field is level. Apply
plenty of fertilizer or any manure
without weed seeds. The plants will
spread somewhat into the fresh
ground, and with frequent hoeings till
freezing time, fair crop may be ex-
pected next year.

THE CABBAGE WORM.

The imported cabbage worm appears
to be pest rather difficult to control,
owing to the fact that the butterflies
remain about from early in spring IN.
til late in fall, or, in other words, there
is an almost uninterrupted succession
of broods throughout the entire sea-
son. Of all the insecticides that have
been tried for destroying the worms,
hot water, pyrethrum, or buhach, and
kerosene emulsion seems to be the
most effective, and, withal, probably
the cheapest. If the first is used, dust
the plants thoroughly as soon as the
small worms appear on them, and re-
peat the application as often as may
be necessary throughout the summer.
1t kerosene emulsion is employed, it
may be diluted more than when APP
piled to treesfor destroying scale pests,
on trees, that is, make it about one
half the strength given in the standard
formula, and spray the plants, as often
as required to keep them free of
worms. American Agriculturist.

uouaers OF the Magnolia.

Tho umbrella magnolia of Ceylon
bears leaves that are so large that a
single one may sometimes serve as

When the petals of the great aurel
magnolia are touched. however
lightly, the result is brown spot,
which develops in few hours. This
fact is taken advantage of by lover,
who pulls u magnolia flower, and on
one OF its pure white petals writes

pointed pencil. Then he sends tho

PASTURE FOR SWINE.

In the feeding experiments at the
Utah station, by A. A. Mills, those
pigs which were allowed to roam at
will over eighteen acres of good pas
ture, and were fed all the grain they
would eat, made the most rapid growth
and apparently made the best uso of
food. Those pigs which were fed grass
and grain in small yard made more
rapid growth than those fed grain
alone, and seemed to make slightly
better use of the food eaten. In both
these sets of grass-fed pigs there was
an increase in food consumed, appar-
emily sufficient to account for the more
rapid growth and tho moro economi-
cal use of food, so that green grass ap-
pears to be of greatest value as an az
petizer. The pigs kept on grass alone
made SO SLOW growth that it would
have required two seasons to reach
maturity, thus making the profits ex-
ceedingly doubtful, The pigs kept in
movable pen on pasture ate within
few pounds MS much grain as did
those in yard without grass, but did
not make Gs good use of the grain.
The experiments indicate that in order
TO have rapid and economical growth
exercise seems to be necessary for in
creasing the food consumption, and
probably stimulating digestion. -

The Shetland Pony.

As good deal of misconception ex,
lists as to what constitutes true Shet.
land pony, we give the following de-
scription of the little animal by Sir
Walter Gilbey, the eminent breeder
OF and authority ON horses:
''The height of the pure Shetland
is about ten hands forty inches),
and this size may be taken as a fair
average, although many exceed this
standard, and numbers are as small as
nine hands; some even may be found
measuring not more than eight hands
or thirtytwo inches.
"The Shetland pony is docile, easily
trained to domestic use when kindly
treated, and being hardy and muscu-
lar, is capable of enduring much
drudgery. Having good feet it is
surefooted when climbing mountains,
at the same time sagacious in making
its way through swamps and bogs.
"1t varies in color from bay, brown
and dun to dullish black, and some
time these colors are mixed with white,
while few specimens may be found
which are pure white or piebald.
Added to this these ponies have coats
of long hair, which becomes thicker
and gets matted upon them during
the cool and boisterous weather. -

SALT MAKES MILK.

Experiments have recently been
made to ascertain whether the giving
OF salt to dairy cows has any direct
bearing on the supply of milk, and
the results have been of character
which will be surprising to many who
attach little Importance to providing
salt for their cattle, says the Journal
of Agriculture. Salt they must have
IN some form or another, and if it is
supplied to them in suitable quantities
and ways they will take sufficient and
no more for their own benefit. For
about month, from June 20 to July
lo, last year, three cows were kept
without salt; and the milk from each
weighed twice daily from the 4th to
the 18th of July, when they gave asa
pounds. From July Is to August l
the same COWS received four ounces of
salt each, and during that time the
milk showed an increase of 100 pounds,
the weight being 564 pounds. From
this experiment it appears that there
was a considerable gain, which would
pay admirably any one to keep his
stock we'll supplied with salt, and it
may also be added as another good
custom to follow to keep plenty of
fresh water where it can be always ac.
ccssible.

PROTECTION AGAINST MOTHS.

millers 1t is very disagreeable oper-
alton, but is so effective that any
room where they are known to be
should be fumigated at once. To do
this with entire success remove the
contents of trunks and wardrobes and
hang on the backs of chairs; close
doors and windows; set pailful of
water in the middle of the room at a
safe distance from all the hangings
and furniture; in this place small
iron pot half filled with ashes and
camphor; for room fifteen by eight.
cen use piece as large as walnut;
saturate with alcohol and set the cam
phor on fire. 1t will burn fiercely at
first, but if proper precautions are
observed there is no danger; leave the
room as soon as you are satisfied that
your furniture is in no danger of tax
ing fire; allow the mass to burn itself
out, which it will do in half an hour;
open the win lows and doors for an
hour. Moths prefer soiled to clean
garments. The first step toward the
safety of garments before putting
them away is to turn the pockets in
side out, beat all dust, saturate and
clean with benzine if necessary. Allow
the clothes to hang in the sunlight for
several hours. Moths hate the light.

WASHING AND CLEANING GLOVES.

The so-ealled washing gloves are an
excellent choice for utility purposes
all summer, as they can be cleaned
once and again by washing them IN
water that is more than warm, but not
scalding hot, using n piece of pure
white soap in the process IL is best
to wash them upon the hands, as the
chamois is less likely to shrink in dry
ing. Wash and then rinse in clear
water and dry by Rubbing with a
Turkish or other soft, rough towel.
For kid gloves of light color that are
but slightly soiled, but not stained,
there is no better mode of freshening
than to wind bit of oiled silk around
the finger, rubbing vigorously to re-
move all traces OF the mark. Any
woman who tests this easy way of
cleaning kid gloves will be sure to
keep thereafter strip OF silk in her
possession. A quarter or even an
eighth of yard is enough to purchase
at once, as in fancy drygoods houses,
where it is sold, it is kept moist in
large roll and is thus very pliable.
Moisten the silk, however, when using.

DESTRUCTION OF INSECTS AND WEEDS.


A writer in the Agricultural Gazette
of New South Wales says the crickets
were very numerous in his orchard a
few years ago, but he turned in about
150 pigs, mostly young ones. that
quickly attacked the crickets and their
larve, and completely exterminated
them, and rapidly grew fat by feeding
upon them. Those who have fields
infested by these or by the cut worm
will do well to bear this in mind. He
tried to kill it out by hoeing, but his
efforts proved failure, tending rather
to increase its growth. Then he en-
closed a part of it and put on about
200 fowl, feeding them on corn night
and morning for few days, then re-
moving them to q new location. He
says, Nothing but the humble, lowly
but cheerful grass could withstand the
continual henpecking." Many other
weeds might be destroyedin this way,
though some might require more than
''a few days treatment. Boston Gull

QUICK DRYING Fon SILKS.

Quick drying is the best method for
silk garments. An authority on this
subject says; "Keep on hand dozen
bits of steel an inch and quarter
square and eighteen inches long. Ex-
actly midway screw in a good-sized
hook. In use, hang a shirt or pair of
drawers over strip, and button the
neck or waistbsnd, then catch the
hook over your line. Pull the gar.
ment in shape, and leave it to dry.
The hooks need not be more than six
inches apart on the line, thus enabling
you to dry half dozen gar nents in
less space than is otherwise required
for one. Also, by the use of these
strips and hooks, it is possible to dry
each garment in shape and to avoid
the. wrinkles that it is next to impos-
sible to iron out of wool or silk with.
out injury to the fabric. White silk
