A HILL SIDE CHICKEN cooP.

Every year during the breeding

Psychologists tell US that the animal

it would seem plausible, says the
Medical Record, that this quantity is
necessary in order to carry on the
normal physiological processes of
the animal economy in proper con-
dition.
For similar reasons it would also
appear plausible that should this
quantity in any way be greatly re-
duced or diminished, either through
normal processes of the body or
through abnormal processes. this
lost quantity must Immediately be re

of water be permitted to be unduly

Elasticity and pliability of muscles,

of water they contain. Water. also

HON to Plant VeIret Beans.

Velvet beans will make a fine for
age, and If allowed to die on the land,
will make heavy crop of humus-
making material to turn under. But
unless the soil is very poor, it would
be far better to cure and feed them
and return the manure to the land.
! know of no experiments comparing
their value as nitrogen-giving plants
with the cowpea, but they are doubt
less Very good for the purpose. Plant
them in rows not less than four feet
apart, for they make an immense
amount of vine. and will cover the
entire ground Between a peck and

San plant them middle to last Of
April, as they take long season,
and can be planted rather earlier
than the cowpeas. Professor Massey.

REMEDY FOR sAEEP TICKS.

Prof. James Law recommends for
scab and sheep tics wash COM
posed of tobacco, si.teen pounds; oil
of tar, three patcs; soda wash,
twenty pounds; soft soap, four
pounds; water, fifty gallons; boil the
tobacco and dissolve the other agents.
in few gallons OF boiling water,
then add water to make up the fifty
gallons. This will suffice for fifty
sheep. Each sheep is Kept in the
wash for three minutes. One pound
of tobacco stepped in FIVE or six gal
Ions of water is an effective cure.
The lambs and newly shcrn sheep
are to be immersed in the decoction.
Tobacco smoke is sometimes rec
commended, but it is difficult to make
the application sufficiently thorough.
To apply this, nothing is better than
the patent bee smokers. The smoke
should be perfectly applied at least
three timess at intervals OF a week,
that the pupae may all develop and
the successive broods be Killed. -

Fighting Insects.


The worst enemies of the ordinary
garden are the smaller, almost invis-
nile, insects, such as scale and plant
lice, and the blights, such as rust and
Hnildew. The amateur usually does
not suspect their presence until it is
mnnounced by the harm they have
6One. Caterpillars, slugs, rose bugs,
etc, are not SO dangerous because
Mny one can see them when they
come.
TO prevent the others from doing
their work, every gardener should
BE- ready early in the season with the
aaHree great safeguards kerosene
gmulsion, whale oil soap and Bor-
aeAux mixture.
The emulsion and the Bordeaux
mixture can be bought in quart cans
E0r forty cents each. Five pounds Of
whale oil soap cost fifty cents. The
quantities named will suffice for a
garden for the whole season.
Full directions are on the cans.
The Bordeaux and the emulsion must
be diluted with from twenty-five to
&Sty times their own quantity of wa
ter. BY mixing a small portion Of
each with the maximum quantity OF
water early in the season and spray
ing all plants with this weak solu-
aSOn, you will often prevent disease
mnd insect attack until comparatively
nate In the summer, when the plants
VIII be SO vigorous that they will
Aardly suffer, and only few appli-
cations of the spray will be needed
% keep them free entirely.
III the enemies get foothold be-
Bare the plants are strong, you may
calculate on continuous task Of
spraying all the season. SO do some
ae Ii now, and keep a small quantity
OF the three solutions ready mixed.
4 HALF cupful of each, mixed with
awenty-flva cupfuls of water, will
mako a great quantity, and it will

emulsion mixture can be kept in any

has been added to it, it will attack
