WHY IS POULTRY VALUABLE.

Prof. Gilbert of Ottawa. Canada in
answer to the question, Why is poul-
try valuable to the farmer?" gives the
following reasons:
l. Because he ought, by their
means. to convert a great deal of the
waste Of his farm into money in the
shape of eggs and chickens for mar
ket.
2 Because, with intelligent man
agement, they ought to be all year
revenue producers, with the exception
of perhaps two months during the
moulting season.
3. Because poultry will yield him
quicker return for the capital in
vested than any of the other depart
ments of agriculture.
4. Because the manure from the
poultry house will make valuable COM
post for use in either vegetable or
garden orchard The birds themselves
if allowed TO run in plum or apple
orchard will destroy all injurious ill.,
sect life.
5. Because, while cereals and fruits
can only be successfully grown n
certain sections, poultry can be rails
ed for table use or layers of eggs in
all parts of the country.
6. Because poultry raising is an
employment in which the farmers
wife and daughters can engage, and
leave him free to attend to other de-
partments.
T. Because it will bring him the
best results in the shape Of new-laid
eggs during the winter season, when
the farmer has the most time on his
hands.
g. Because to start poultry raising
on the fran requires little or no cap
ital. BY good management poultry
can be made with little cost a valu-
able adjunct to the farm.-Farmer's

found in cultivation in all parts of
Europe and to some extent in the
warmer portions of the United Stetes.
The wood, like that of our native
black walnut, is valuable for furniture
making and similar purposes. In Cir.
cassia the people boil down the sap
into sugar Like that produced by the
sugar maple. and also make a fat oil
from the nuts.
The common black walnut is found
from southern New England to the
Gulf States, and as far west as Kan
sas and the Lake region The fruit
and oil are sometimes used for food,
but the rather rank flavor has less
ened their popularity TIE butternut
is also relative species. The nuts
are well liked by most people, but
nave never come into the markets in
any large quantities. partly because
the supply is limited and also because
the excellence of the nut is not gener-
ally known as that of the other mem
bers Of the walnut family The seed
of the butternut is the heaviest borne
by any native tree, weighing about
fifteen to the pound. The black wal
nut weighs about twenty-five to the
pound. and other nuts are lighter in
weight.
The hickory family is distinct from
the walnut, although sometimes called
by the same name. The main dis.
tlnction is that the outer shells of the
hickory split open at maturity. while
those OF the walnut species do not
split naturally. - Massachusetts

Wireless telegraphy has not yet

And yet the world already takes the

if nothing is too stupendous for man

evolve something useful as well as
wonderful is the exception, not the
rule. Some things that have been at

couraging in this. Obstacles serve

SECURING EXTRA HELP.

During late years the scarcity of Ia
Dor in the hop region of England has
led to the employment of the increas-
ing number of girls and women at
hop time. During the hop harvest in
Kent some of the London schools are
practically emptied, whole families
leaving for the country, where they
camp out or secure other temporary
quarters as long as the work lasts.
In the fruit growing sections of Scot
land the same difficulty in obtaining
labor has led the growers to engage
girls from the neighboring cities.
These girls are ordinarily employed
as factory hands, but are glad to get
outdoor employment, looking on the
change as a kind of holiday. They
are provided with board and lodging
on the farms on which they are en-
ployed at cost of less than $3.50 per
week.
This plan might possibly afford a
hint for berry growers in this coun-
try, VINO find such difficulty in secur-
ing enough pickers during the height
OF the season. No doubt, plenty Of
help could be secured from the cities.

FIELD CULTURE OF CABBAGE.

Cabbages, which are often consider
ed superior in feeding value to turn
ips, are cheaper to grow than root
crop, and constitute excellent food for
sheep and dairy COWS. Deep, adhe-
sive loans are best, but the crop is
suitable for the stifest soils, provided
they are deeply worked.
Liberal manuring is essential, from
twenty-five to thirty tons of barnyard
manure per acre being good dress
ing. This should be supplemented
with from two hundred to three hun
dred pounds of superphosphates. Top
dressings of from one hundred to two
hundred pounds of nitrate of soda are
profitable when the young plants have
well stacsed, and again when the heads
have begun to form. The lighter the
soil the greater the quantity OF ma
nure required. Seed may be drilled
in rows or started in seeded. The
former method is both cheaper and
better in the end. Drill four to six
pounds per acre. From one to two
pounds sown ON rod of good seeded
will produce enough plants for an
acre. The rows should be about twen-
ty-four inches apart, and the plants
a like distance asunder in them. The
enemies of the cabbage crop are in
some degree identical with those of
turnips. The cabbage worms cause
great loss by eating the leaves. Hand
picking is the surest remedy, though
it Is cheaper to spray or dust the at
tackled plants with one of the stan
dard insecticides used for soft-bodied
caterpilla1s.-B. A., in the Massachu-
setts Ploughman.

WASHING THE BLOOD.
Worlds Men of Science Searching for
Perfect Filter.

Perfect Filter.
The search for physical process
which would act directly on the cir
ton in order to extract the poison
which it may contain, is not a new
thing, two methods up to the present
having been tried, TRANSMISSION of the
blood and washing of the blood. The
TRANSMISSION has given proofs of its
worth, but the difficulties are such
that the application of the method is
necessarily restricted. There has
been little success hitherto with the
washing method on account of the
difficulty of adjusting the speed of in
lection to the narrow limits OF car
diac tolerance. The chief difficulty
has been, however, that the simple di.
luticn of the blood does not render the
renal filter permeable to the poison
Gus substances.
M. Oh. Repin has just constructed
an apparatus with which he has ex-
perimented on animals, the method
! being to extract a large quantity OF
blood from the organism and to mix
it with eight or ten times its volume
of an isotonic saline solution. This
Observation-Disclosures incoagulable for
the needs of the experiment-is sent
into a centrifugal separator, which is
combined in such way that all the
blood globules are united almost in
stantly at single point, where they
are passed into pump which injects
them into the animal The working OF
the apparatus is automatic and con
tinuous, the result being to extract
the plasma with all the matter dis
solved therein, and to replace it with
artificial serum; and this without in.
juring the blood globules, for which
short passage outside of the organ
