The Use of Sweet Clover.

In an address at Sedalia on soil
renovation by DIR. H. J. Waters, dean
of the Missouri agricultural college, it
was said that the common sweet clover
is not the pernicious, dangerous weed
so many seem to think. 1t can be
easily killed out by moving twice a
year for two years, he said, and it is
one of the most valuable soil renovat-
ors known. 1t will grow and thrive
on land too poor to grow clover or
cowpeas, and it is especially suited to
build up the millions of acres of finty
hills that are now absolute waste,
growing up in brush. Experiments
made at Columbia show that in this
quality of soil sweet clover is more
valuable than the ordinary clover
After few years of sweet clover, such
soil is built up to point where it will
grow other renovators. In such lands
it can be easily seeded and will
smother other weeds, and in addition
it will furnish as by-product large
quantities of honey.

The Best Society in Havana.

Americans generally have the idea
that in the old days the most brilliant
social element in Havana were the
Spanish officials and their suites. l
wish they could see the horrible little
outhouse in which six staff officers
and their families were supposed to
live at the summer palace! 1t would
serve to accentuate their mistake.
AS a matter of fact, the social circle
of Havana has always been made up

some instinct had warned her of the

however, was eager for gain. ana we'll

dressed like grown-up people, and had
to submit to the comm on fate. Notice
on the right the unintelligent faces of
the peasants. So long as the country

of ignorance, this strange traffic will
continue.

myself the origin of those mountains
of human hair used by the wigmakers
of Paris.
Luck was soon to satisfy my curios-
ity, for not long afterwards, in the
course of journey through Brittany,
my attention was arrested by certain
conversations on the subject of sale
of hair. I was told that the peasant
women round about had their hair cut
off periodically and sold to the mer-
chants who went shearing from vii
lage to village. I made inquiries
without losing moment, and soon
found out that one of the most i'm
portant of these markets was about to
be held in the month of June at the
Fair of st. Fiacre.

The Hen and Her Care.

Every keeper of poultry should have
a light, warm house and one that is
convenient for feeding and caring for
the fowls. 1t should be built in a
warm, sunny place, where it will be
protected from the cold winds. The
front of the house should be to the
south, and it should have windows
enough to admit plenty OF sunlight, as
the sun will help warm it in the win
ter. There should be walk running
the entire length of the house on
the north side, SO you can feed
and get the eggs without going
into the pens. The feed boxes and
water tank should be made in the
shape of drawer, SO you can pull
them out and keep the birds from
getting into their feed and drink when
you are feeding and watering. The
nests should also be made so that they
may be drawn out as you do the feel
boxes. The windows are to be cased,
the same as they are in the house, so
that there will be no cold wind enter
ing. Cold draughts are sure to make
your birds sick and stop them from
laying in winter.

determination of Gulls.

A New London correspondent gives
some details of the work of feather
hunters in exterminating the small
herring gulls at the eastern end OF
Long Island sound and the islands
beyond. The herring gulls used to
be very common in that region, but
the feather hunters have killed or
driven away almost oil of them. On
Fenikese island there used to be a
large colony of these birds, which was
protected and thrived so long Agassiz
nad his summer school there, but
afterwards the feather hunters began
their work, and woman who visited
the island last summer saw hundreds
of dead birds with their wings torn
away and many wingless birds still
alive, fed by their mates. There used
to be q colony of the birds on Plum
island, but now driven away by the
federal works, and the birds are rare
at Nantucket. The larger gulls are
not killed by tho feather-hpnters, IS
their wings are too big to be worn on
bonnets. New York Post.

Items of Interest to Farm era,

Keep charcoal and salt where the
fattening hogs can have easy access to
them.
Breed the young sows so that they
will farrow their young litters in the
spring after the grass has come.
That the hog is a filthy animal is
the fault OF its owner. Hogs prefer
cleanly quarters and will take them
when they can get them.
Only small amount of cornmeal
should be used in feeding the pig, and
it should be combined with other feed
that makes bone and muscle.
Growing pigs must have exercise,
but not too much of it. Ii they run
over an extensive range they cannot
be kept in sufficiently good condition
to give the best results.

of weaning until the pig is finished

Suggestion to Fruit cu,,ivators.

Many of the tender or half-hardy
varieties of raspberries and black
berries would endure our severe win
ters much better, ii in the late fall the
cultivator was run between the rows,
throwing the earth toward the stems,
and in effect ridging or hilling up
around them little. This loose earth
forms mulch which prevents fire.
quent freezing and thawing, and it
has the great advantage of being a
mulch that can be quickly and cheap
ly applied, compared to the labor of
bringing mulching material from other
places and putting it in place. To be
most effectual it should be done as
late in the fall as possible, and if de-
layed until some morning when the
ground is frozen an inch deep, or
about that, it will be none the worse,
as the success depends much upon the
earth that is thrown up being light
and porus.
The fall trimming, pruning and cut
ting out of old or superhuous canes
should he done before this, as it facil-
itates the working among them, and
all the wood removed should be taken
away and burned to destroy any in
sects or their eggs and any fungous
diseases that may be on or in them.
We do not doubt that similar treat
ment would be beneficial to the half
hardy roses and many of the shrubs
on the lawn, excepting that some OF
them are better trimmed in the spring

Breaking up sitters.

Some find the breaking up of sitting
hens very difficult thing to do, and
they really think they have to torture
the hen in order to make her abandon
her desire to brood. We have known
poultry men and women to duck the
hens in water several times and then
turn them loose; have known the hens
to go about with hoods on so they
could not see, and to be shut up in
dark places without food or water for
week OF more. It is not necessary
to resort 10 cruel methods to break up
hen that wants to sit, says a writer
in Blooded Stock. What is wanted is
to turn the desire to sit into the desire
to lay again. 1t will be but little ad-
vantage to have them broken from
wanting to sit and have them lay four
or five eggs only to again become
broody, which they will do if they are
not cared for as they should be. The
reason for this is that the conditions
which caused the hen to become
broody have not been changed and
they cannot be changed by force.
When hen becomes broody it means
that the egg producing capacity of
her system, for the time being, has
become exhausted and that recupera-
ton is needed. The first step to such
recuperation is rest, and being an in
dustrious bird, they feel that they
might as we'll aise brood while
resting as to f ol away their time.
Some animals an. birds may he stimu-
lated to do that which is not natural
for them, but is it best? The tired
horse may be urged on by the aid of
whip.
A practice that is recommended by
some thoughtful breeders which will
break the hen, and at the same time
have her in good condition to go
right to business, is to place one egg
under her, letting her sit for one
week, feeding her once in two days
during the time as if she were really
sitting on whole clutch. But velv
little food will be needed on account
OF lack Of exercise. At the close of
the week place her in a coop with a
Slated bottom raised few inches
from the ground, for a couple of days.
and she will lose her desire TO sit and
i'll few days will begin laying in
earnest.

The Curraut Worm Giving trouble.

A correspondent from California
writes saying that last spring her
gooseberries had small worms or in
sects inside before they were ripe and
asks for remedy. The worm is no
doubt the one known US the currant
worm, which attacks currants as we'll
as gooseberries. AS a remedy use
about an ounce of hellebore to three
gallons OF water and spray the plants
literally with the mixture. This treat
ment is pretty sure to accomplish all
that is required of it.-New York
