FOR THE FARM AMI HOME.
An Ingenious Hen-House.
One hen-house which we have seen
has a very ingenious contrivance for
getting outside hens into a general
yard, without a chance for any of the
inside occupants to escape. It consists
of a box, some eight or ten inches in
diameter,a little over two feet in length,
mainly made of little slats and open
only at the outer end. The small slats
are placed far enough apart to give an
open appearance to the whole box. A
verj slight board constitutes the floor,
so constructed that on the hen walking
over it, it remains firm until she gets
over half way in, when, by the force
of her weight, the floor suddenly turns
on a pivot, or tips, the forward end
falling down about a foot, letting the
lien into (he yard, when the floor at
once returns to its place, and thus
leaves no chance of escape .—Tribune

Sowing Kye in the Fall for Soiling.
An Indiana farmer says.
.Having had fourteen years’ experience
an sowing rye the last of August and
through September at different times,
on rich land for soiling in April, I
think I am able to state correctly the
value of such a crop. Bye, when sown
the last of August or any time in Sep¬
tember on rich land, will make more
pounds of green food per acre in April
than any of the grasses or clover will
make in J une. We can easily see the
value of an acre of rye sown in Au¬
gust or September to be cut green In
April and fed to stock. It is the least
injurious green food when fed to work
stock known. In fact, not one objec¬
tion can be made to it when fed to
work stock with plenty of grain. A
rve patch near the house is more val¬
uable for poultry than grain. We
carried 150 hens through last winter
on green rye alone and they carne
through the winter all right and in
t:ie condition. As a feed for milch
o ws it has no equal. Three full feeds
daily of green rye to your milk cows
in April will change the butter from
white to a beautiful golden color.
Traiisplantinu; ( abbngeti.
Before transplanting cabbages, the
ground should be deeply plowed and
well manured, particularly with the
scrapings of the cow pen. It is al¬
ways best to apply the manure broad¬
cast, and mix it thoroughly with the
soil, as it then will not come into im¬
mediate contact with the young roots,
but will be ultimately all absorbed. If
possible plant in rainy weather; hut if
this cannot be done, sprinkle on the bed
of young plants, just before they are
taken up, a good quantity of water, so
that as little earth will adhere to each
plant. As goon as they are planted in
’ dry weather, they should receive lib¬
a
eral supply of water, otherwise most
of them will die, unless protected from
tho sun. When inserting them into
the holes, care must be observed not to
bend the roots, but these must be
placed, as much as possible, as they
had been growing. The distance of
planting, depends, in some measure,
upon the strength of the soil, but prin¬
cipally upon the variety grown; but
it should always bo such that the
ground between the plants may be
kept clean and well worked. When
the larger kinds are planted, two-and
a-iialf feet between the rows and two
feet between the plants will be re¬
quired; but, with tlie smaller varieties
less distance will be sufficient. The
soil around the plants must be con¬
stantly worked.— A. P. Ford.
I’i* Pen or Pin Pasture.
An exchange says: “There is too
much pig pen and not enough pig
pasture.” This is true in the main,
The difference in the quality and (la
vor of pork, made in the average filthy
pig pen, from filthy food, and that |
made from sweet grasses and clover, 1
out in the open and pure air, is 80 !
great that it would seem as though
consumers would insist on using n me
but the last kind. Good, clean and
Rweet pork can be made in pens, how
ever, and cheaper than in pastures
even, and has been demonstrated on
the Missouri College Farm. The pigs
in (raveling about (he pasture after
their food will not get nearly as much
out of the grass as they will if it is cut
and fed to them in tbe pen. It may
be said that this would cost too much
abor. But if it shown that the ex
tra labor is more than paid for by in
creased profit, that will be all that can
be asked.
As before remarked, the pigs make
more gain out of the same quantity of
food fed in the pen than when gath
credinihe pasture. More food can
be grown on a given area when cut off
and fed to the animals, than when
they are allowed to feed it of them¬
selves. The manure of pen fed pigs
is where it can be saved. That of the
pasture pigs is largely lost. When it
is desirable, as it almost always is,
to feed grain or other food in addition
to the grass it c m be better done in
the pen than in the pasture. While
we thus advocate feeding pigs in p*ns,
it is only with the idea that the pens
are to be Toomy, clean and healthful.
To put pig3 into small and filth v pens
is cruel, and a disgrace to humanity,
and makes a quality of pork which
has created a merited prejudice against
a healthful aad palatable food.—

Persons frequently express surprise
at the universality, as it were, of
weeds. A careful cultivator will keep
a field free from weeds by frequent
cultivation and hand hoeing through
an entire season, and as none are nl
lowed to go to seed he may look for a
clean field the following year, whether
cultivated or not. But those who ex
pect to see land entirely cleaned of
VVi eds and all its wild seeds by individ
ual effort, are likely to be disappointed
in their expectations. Many seeds
j w jjj ji ve j n tp, e ao ji f or a long time,
just how long has not been deter
mined, but in the case of certain kinds
of seeds, several years. Speaking in a
general way, the ground is full of
weed seeds; they are blown about by
the winds, washed from place to place
by freshets and heavy showers, car¬
ried to new locations by birds and ani¬
mals, and like the rent in the boy’s
coat, “it was there before.”
Yery few realize the extent of fe¬
cundity or prolificacy in many of our
common weeds, or how rapidly a stock
may be multiplied from a single plant.
At both the New York and the Ohio
Experiment Stations this subject has
been investigated with much care.
Dr. Sturtevant found a vigorous plant
of the 1’urslane family that had nine
branches; an average branch had fif¬
teen branchlets; an average branchlet
had 212 seed capsules, and one seed
capsule bad seventy-five seeds, making
the whole number, by computation, 2,-
146,500. A fair stool of chess had
3798 seeds, plantain 4488, ox eye
daisy 96,000, curled dock 93,390. The
botanist at the Ohio station found by
computation that an average thistle
produces over 65,000 seeds; a dande¬
lion 12,000, shepherd’s purse 37,500,
wild peppergraSs 18,400, ragweed over
4,000, moderate sized purslane from
300,000 to 400,000 seeds in a single
plant. Wild carrot and mullen are
both exceedingly prolific in seed. We
have found by comparison that siDgle
plants of either may produce from a
half million to a million seeds.
An acre of land contains 43,560
square feet. It will be seen that a
single plant in some cases may pro¬
duce seeds enough in a season to allow
a half dozen or more seeds to each
square foot of an acre of land. How
then can we wonder at the rapid in¬
crease of weeds under ordinary care¬
less culture, where thousands are an
nually allowed to mature their seeds
on almost every acre of cultivated
land.—A. F. Farmer.

A WONDERFUL AFFECTION
People in Java who Suddenly
Become “Lata. it
-
^ Disease which Causes Strange Freaks ot
Imitation.
-
The first thing of interest to attract
1 nie within a few hours of my arrival
a t Kosala, in Java, writes II. O.
Forbes, an English scientist, was a
cage j n one 0 f the servants of the
house of that curious cerebral affec
tion called by natives “lata.” It is of
a hysterical nature, and is confined
chiefly to women, although I have al
so seen a man affected by it. On be¬
ing startled or excited suddenly the
person becomes lata, losing the control
of her will, and cannot refrain from
imitating whatever she may hear or
see done, and svill keep calling out as
long as the fits last, the name—and
generally that word alone—of what¬
ever has flashed through her mind as
the cause of it: “He-ih-heh, matjan!”
(tiger): “he-ih-heh boorung besar!” (a
great bird). Her purpose will be ar¬
rested, as, if walking, she will stop
short, and, on going on again, will of¬
ten follow some other course.
The prefatory exclamations is an in¬
variable symptom, seemingly caused
by involuntary hysterical inspirations.
According to the degree of alarm the
symptoms may remain only a few mo
Iue nts or last for the greater part of
a day, especially if the person be pre
vented from calming dow r n. The af¬
flicted, if not seriously affected, aro
not altogether incapacitated from per¬
forming the little duties to which they
are accustomed. The most curious
characteristics of tbe disease is their
imitation of every action they see. O 11
one occasion, while eating a banana, I
suddenly met this servant with a
piece of soap in her hand, and perceiv¬
ing she wa3 slightly lata, but without
appearing to take any notice of her, I
made vigorous bite of the fruit in
passing her, an action she instantly
repeated on a piece of soap.
On another occasion, while she was
looking on as 1 placed some plants in
drying paper, not knowing that cater¬
pillars were objects of supreme ab¬
horrence to tlie natives, I flicked off in
a humorous way on her dress one that
happened to be on a leaf; she was in¬
stantly intensely lata, and throwing
off all her clothing, she made off like
a chased deer along the mountain road,
repeating the word for caterpillar as
she ran, until compelled by exhaustion
to stop, when the spasm gradually left
her. My own “hoy,” who would un¬
concernedly seize all sorts of snakes in
his hands, became one day lata also on
suddenly touching a large caterpillar
My host’s maid once, while alone at
some distance from the house, having
come unexpectedly on a large lizard,
tlie balawak was seized by a paroxysm;
dropping down on her hands and
knees to imitate the reptile, she thus
followed it through the mud, water,
and mire to the tree in whicli it took
refuge, where she was arrested and
came to herself. Another case which
came under my knowledge was more
tragic in its results. This woman,
startled by treading in a field on one
of the most venomous snakes in Java,
became so lata that she vibrated her
fingers in imitation of the tongue of
the reptile in front of its head till tlie
irritated snake struck her, and the
poor creature died within an hour.
During the attack the eyes have a
slightly unnatural stare, but there is
never a total loss of consciousness and
throughout the paroxysm the patient
is wishful to get away from the ob¬
ject affecting her, yet is without the
strength of will to escape or to cease
acting in the way I have described.
Lata persons are constantly teased by
their fellows, and are often kept in an
excited state for whole days.
