This may be all we'll enough at Ger.
tain seasons OF tho year when insects
and green food are abundant; but
during the remainder OF the year they
need the proper amount of care and
attention or the profitable part of the
business will come up missing when
we square up our accounts at the end
OF the year. Cholera. roup. and the
thousand and one ills that chicken

No fixed and unaterable law can be

carefully the varied wants of each
flock.
While q certain kind of fowl may

tain kind of feed, another kind will
not seem to thrive at all kept in this
way, but should be supplied with some
thing different. For example, the
Leghorn requires fat forming food to
put them in good laying condition,
while the Cochin needs to be carefully
fed. less they become too fat, and not
lay at all.
Exercise is an all important factor
that must not be lost sight OF. If
your fowls are confined to small runs
so that they do not get the proper
amount OF exercise their grain food
should be buried under straw and
chat, causing them to hunt it out for
themselves; plenty of gravel, ground
bone, dust baths, and fresh water, and
the last and most important of the list
is cleanliness. The utmost cleanliness
must be adopted in all things con-
nectcd with your fowls, from the
roosts to the feed troughs and the
coops for the young. Once in shape
and then strictly attended to each day
will save tenfold the amount Of labor
required to clean up after things have
once become filthy. Watch every
point in connection with the matter
and in the end success will be yours.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR ICE

Ball Room.
A step toward skating in summer has
Aaon made by the in entor-manufac.
tnrer Willard, Of Paris. This inventive
.on;us has been seriously considering
sor some years the fact that ska ting
tournaments are the most uncertain
.,,nps in the sporting world. No re-
uance can be placed upon Ice. Today
q Is firm; tomorrow 1t Is water; and
tho next day, when the tournament
nav has passed, 1t is ice again-though
nobody wants it. In this country tho
indoor skating Kinks alone have been
rpljable, and these only where artificial
aid was used to keep them hard. Aside
from the uncertainties of the ice in cold
veather, there are a great many lati.
tudes that never have weather cold
enough for skating.
TO obvlate all this, Willard has com.
Melted a substance which makes skat.

and smooth in texture, will float likl

GOOD ROADS VS.. BAD ROADS.

The present state of our common
roads ought to stimulate any public
spirit that may still exist among our
farmers, writes Samuel Sinnett. Oh,
such beds of mire, or frozen masses
like loads of stones dumped on the
roads, are the character of the roads
in nearly every vicinity.
Last winter, owing to absence OF
snow enough to make good sleighing,
was very trying one to our farm
ers who had produce to haul to market
or were obliged to coma to town to
get their mail. To present a realizing
estimate of what our roads are of
present, I will give your readers q
single instance of one Of our 'lovely"
highways. live at the termination
of one of the finest avenues of elm
trees I ever saw. DR.. Weed, my next
neighbor, planted them over forty
years ago, and they have grown up
and formed an avenue over mile long.
This, Park avenue, is one of the at.
fractions of our city, and strangers are
always taken out to admire the ap.
proach to our city that cannot be
equaled in any OF the parks of Europe.
Three months ago, when the roads
were dry and dusty, this avenue was
the favorite drive for pleasure.seekers,
and the bicycle riders kept it warm.
This avenue is fine level surface,
and the road graders had it put in nice
shape by rounding up the middle OF
the road. About week since large
drove OF cattle was driven down this
avenue. That day the thaw was about
six inches in depth, but that night it
froze hard, and you can imagine the
state of the road next day-sca1c ely a
single square yard that was not
punched full of holes SIX inches deep ;
and, incredible as it may appear, there
is an jnexhaustible supply of gravel
within half mile Of this road, and
there were idle men and teams enough
last winter to have made three or four
trst-class roads across the country.
I am the firm advocate of gravel
roads for our prairie country, and give
the following reasons:
First-Tney are the cheapest, and
when the road is in good shape and
drainage secured, the top dressing can
be applied any time, even during the
winter.
Second-Gravel can he obtained
within easy reach OF the roads,as most
counties produce it, and 1t requires no
engineering to apply 1t.
Third-When depressions occur OF
holes form, gravel soon forms smooth
surface when used in repairs. and
soon becomes incorporated with the
rcadbed.
Fourth-It is always clean, as the
rain washes of the mud and the wind
blows of the dust.
Drainage is the first consideration
in all road buildings, particularly in
gravel roads.
This road question grows so impor'
tant IS I write that will have to de-

hold meetings to consider the best

PACKING AND SHIPPING BEES.

An apiarist gives the following di.
rections for packing and shipping
bees: The manner of packing depends
somewhat upon tho kind of hive, and
to some extent on the season of the
year. They can be shipped any time
of the year when bees are flying. If
the weather is comparatively cool, as
in spring and fall, they do not need SO
much ventilation as through the warm
months. There is little danger, how.
ever, of giving too much ventilation
at any time. Just how the ventilation
can best be given depends upon the
hive, but with almost any hive you can
have the entire top covered with wire
cloth, and that makes the colony safe
against smothering. If the weather
is hot, the bees need a supply of
water on their journey, which may be
given by means of asponge or roll of
rags saturated with water and placed
on tho top OF the frames. If the hive
contains loose.hanging frames, these
must in some way be made fast. This
NAY be done by driving nails through
the ends of the top bars down into the
ends OF tho hive, but the nails should
not be driven in their entire depth,
leaving their ends projecting so they
can be drawn with a clawhammer.
When placed on the cars, let the frames
run parallel with the track; on q
wagon they should run crosswise,

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

1t costs just as much to grow, pack
and market poor fruit as good, and
sometimes more.
A sure cure for pear tree blight
for every one that dies set out two. A
pretty good remedy for peach yellows,
also.
From the fact that tobacco stems
contain q no small per cent. of nitro
gen, phosphoric acid and PHOSPHORUS,
they make an excellent plant food,
especially for garden and fruit crops.
Their price is but nominal. It is a
good plan to mix and compost them
with horse manure.
It is claimed that pair of old birds
with nest Of young will, in the pro.
cess OF days feeding, destroy nearly
1000 insects. Multiply this by the
great number Of insectivorous birds in
our fields and forests, and we can get
an approximate idea Of the helpful
protection afforded our agricultural
interests.
A large number OF orchards have
never paid, and never will. The most
common cause is starvation, for the
average farmer who plants an orchard
or buys one goes on treating tho land
as if such q thing did not exist. He
crops the ground, in rotation or out
of it, until it is a wonder that his
orchard lives at all.
Why does any one advocate thai ap.
pie orchards should be set to grass?
Why are they not cultivated and fer.
tilted just as orange and lemon or.
chards? Farmers go to great trouble
and expense to plant apple orchards,
and willingly cultivate them until they
begin to bear, and then expect nature
TO keep them producing beautifully.
Apple trees are slow in coming into
bearing, and crop of peach trees
planted between the rows will live
their shorter life, hearing several
crops of fruit, and be out OF the way
before the apples crowd them greatly.
The latter will protect the peach trees,
while the peaches will check growth
in the apples and induce earlier fruit
age.
Do not forget that to make . sue.
cess of fruit growing or anything else,
for that matter, requires that close
attention b given to detail, and that

ORNAMENTAL TREES AND SHH1,Rs

A'.'AA"A |.>A AL 4hCES AND SHRUBS,
There is a great difference of opin
ion rs to what trees are the most suit
Die for ornamental planting. It is,
however, admitted that it is desirable
to plant trees in parks, about homes,
roadsides and waste places. Among
the most beautiful ornamental trees
are the American white elm, white ash,
and sugar maple. These are fine look.
ing trees, hardy and make good shade.
1t costs but little more to plant these
than the almost worthless cottonwood,
box elder or poplar. Other trees that
are very desirable are the blackberry,
cut.leaved white birch and for orna.
mental purposes the Russian snow
ball.
