Salt for Stock.
Salt at regular intervals or in shape of
the rock is a necessity for the best re¬
sults In dairying. Professor Robertson
of the Ontario Experiment station made
an experiment by taking several cows
and dividing into lots. To one salt
was given so that they could use all
they wished, and to the other no salt
was furnished, the feed and caro brisg
the same in other respects, The lot
without salt fell off iu their products
17$ per cent., while tho other l<opt
their flow. The lots were changed, and
the lot having no salt fell off 12$ per
cent in throe months, while those hav¬
ing free access to the salt did not lesson
their milk—[New York Herald.
Proper Corn Cribs.
Corn stored in tha ear may not be
placed in tight cribs, whon it has only
received the drying natural to its being
on the stalk, It often requires the
whole winter to fully prepare it for
shelling and transportation in tight
cars. If the autumn and wintor are
damp, it will often mold in the centre
of wide cribs, and often in the average
seasons the chit of germ is killod, es¬
pecially in those of altercate freezing
and thawing, and this from rupture of
the cells of the grain. Tho same cause
also renders the meal from such corn
bitter.
It is also well know that corn readily
absorbs moisture, and that unless kiln
dried before grinding, and placed in
air-tight packages, it is apt to heat. In
the saving of seed-corn, therefore, it is
especially necessary that tho corn be
ripe, diiod thoroughly before it is
frozon, and then kept in a dry place,
and preferably one where it will not
freeze. So, also, corn intended for
grinding into meal for human use
should be kept in crib3 so narrow that
it may dry equally and thoroughly, and
also flaring enough so that no rain can
drive in to dampen tho corn.—[Prairie
Farmer.
A Cheap Ice House.
“Two years a -o,’' says a correspond¬
ent of the New York Word, “I made a
cheap ice houie on gently sloping
ground that has kept ice well by level¬
ing off a spot ten feet square and laying
down scantling on which I tackod
boards for a foundation. I then set up
scantling ten feet long all around for
posts and nailed on one course of boards
a foot wide, both at the bottom and top
of the posts to hold tho framo together.
One of the boards at the top was flush
with the tops of tho posts, and tho
ono opposite w is enough lower to give
sufficient slope to a roof made of twelve
foot boards. The ice was cut in b!< c ;s
so as to be readily built up ia a square
mass and leave about filteeen inches of
room for a packing of sawdust between
it and the boards when they were put
OD.
“A foot of sawdust was laid oa tho
bottom boards, and tho ico packed on
it solidly four feot high. The siding
was then nailed oa strongly to tho same
height and the vacancy made packed
with sawdust. Tho filling with ico was
then completed and the boards nailed
on as below, inclosing the whole, except
that a doorway was left between two of
the stanchions that was filled with
loose boards instead of being nailed on.
The packing with sawdust was then
finished and with about two feet on top
of the ice. The roof was then put on,
and small openings in tho angles made
by it were left for ventilation, after
which a little sawdust wag packed all
around on the outside to provent a cir¬
culation of air underneath.”
Chickens and Ducks.
Nothing will enlarge tho capacity of
a chicken quicker than a varied bill of
fare and a good supply of green food.
To chickens in confinement, onion tops
•re especially acceptable, and the tops
•re relished more than aro the bulbs
themselves. Beet and turnip tops will
be greedily devoured. That they may
not be wasted, lay them with tho tops
all one way and weight them down with
• stone. Bran and shorts, wheat and
oats, table-scraps and moat, with a very
little corn, a few sunflower seeds and a
small amount of buckwheat, make an
irresistible combination that will make a
chicken thrive and grow in spite of it¬
self.
To mako pullets trot along towards
maturity with a wonderfully accelerat¬
ed pace, give them every moraing
warm feed of bran and shorts and
ground oats mixed up with milk,
meat stock in which is a little salt.
ooon give a feed of meat, and &t
•11 the wheat they will eat and a
left to scratch for tha next day.
addition to this provide green food,
crushed bones and pure water, and
each day one heavy feed of
dishes; they will be eatoa with avidity.
Feeding pepper often to fowls as
regu ar appetizer is a bad practice.
though a very little will do no harm,
yet tho continued use of the
is liable to cairn liyor com
plaint. Warm feed tends to have
same stimulating effect without
ing the injurious qualities of the
enne.
The only way to make a
house is to build it with a board
“Where the droppings nightly fall on
ground the soil will becomo foul
damp, even if it be cleaned out
day of the year. The odors that
arise aro unwholesome ia the

The board floor should then be

engaged in the duck lurinoss can turn
hb money over quickly if ho will go
into tho business in a systematic man¬
ner, prepared to make it a stuly and
to take advantage of every good point
the duck has.
Ducks should ba fol every two hours.
Every other feed-should be of groan
food—alfalfa, clover, Cabbage, turnips
or potatoes. Milk when it can be had
promotes rapid growth, as docs a’sa
lean meat, of which they should liitva
one meal a day. Corn should ba fed
only tho last ton days, whon it and fat

Farm and Garden Notes.
No mistake can bo mads in applying
ashes to fruit trees. ^
Wood ashes are, on sandy soils,
beneficial to all crops, and can b> ap¬
plied ia any quantity.
There is nothing dangerous about su¬
perphosphate to tho person who usos it
by sowing it broadcast.
On heavy soil thero is commonly au
abundance of inert potash, though in
old orchards evon this is largely ex¬
hausted.
Tho garden lias a great part to play
ia improving lifo—not merely in raising
fruits and vegetables, but ia raising
healthy men and women.
Usually fertilizers are damp, and do
not make dust, but if they are dry the
dust may annoy persons troubled with
bronchial disease or asthma.
Salt sown around an orango tree
which has scale and die-back is an
effective remedy in many casss, in con¬
nection with cultivation and fertiliza¬
tion.
The shrinkage of tho shoulder is rare¬
ly duo to any disease of tho joint itself,
but most oftoa to want of uio through
)amencs3 of tho log or foot. In such
cases tho cause must ba found and re¬
moved by proper troatmoat.
Mr. J. A. Dawson was reported at
a mooting of the Nova Scotia Fruit
Growers’ Association, by the secretary,
as having tried with entire sucssss
salt waiter on tho bark of apple tree3 for
destroying tho bark lomo. One pint of
salt dissolved into two gallons of water.
When thero is grass, tho morning
meal may bo omitted if tho hoas have
freo range, and appear to bo busy
scratching. It is mucin bettor to have
them work hard and come in at night
hungry, than to feed too heavily, and
mako tho laying hens fat and unprofit¬
able.
Tho very common weed in pastures,
known as ragweed, also as bitter weed,
is readily eaten by cows, and as it con¬
tains a bitter oil it has an effect upon
tho butter and gives it a bitter flavor.
When tho piant b abundant tho milk is
bitter. Tho only remedy is to koep tho
cows out of such pastures.
For tho small pin-worms in a colt
give a quarter of a pint of raw linseed
oil and a tablespoonful of turpentine
every second day for 10 days, Ttion
givo half a pint of tha oil alone. ___ For
a few days afterward give cut feed, ’
with bran and one dram each of pow
dered sulphate of iron and gentian
root
There should always be miik enough
skimmod with tha cream to give tho
butter, when churned, a bright, clear
look. Batter churned from cream,
with little or no milk in it, will usually
have an oily or a shiny look, This
shows that tho grain of the butter is
injured, thus affecting its keeping
qualities.
A wound mads by a kick from a
newly-shod horse, and which is cut and
ragged, should be first sawed by means
of a surgeon’s curved needle with single
stitches, each tied in a siip knot, so as
to bring the edges together as much as
possible. It should thou ba dressed
twice daily with compound tincture of
myrrh and aloes, applied with a soft

Edible Bird Negts are Vegetable.
The old notion that edible bird nests
—that greatest delicacy in the menu
a Chineso dinner—are made up of a
fluid secreted from tho salivary glands
of tho birds that build tho nests, which
liquid hardens on exposure has been
thoroughly exploded by recent investi¬
gation. The “gum’’ oftheodiblo birds’
nests havo proven to bo a sea-weed
brought by tho birds some times from
very great distances. In tha case of
our own chimney swifts, it has been
shown that the gelatinous matter with
which the twigs pro fastened together
is of a vegetable and not of an animal
character, and ia a particular case re
centiy investigated by a scientist tho
gum was found to have come from a
cherry ’ tree. .4

Value of Land In New Tork City.
The total assessed valuation of real
estate In ths city of Now York in 1883
wai $1,203,941,095; 1837, of 101,83-$
plots of real estate, $1,2(54,491,849
showing an increase in one year of £30,•
550,784. But as the assessed is loss
than two-thirds of tho market value,
the -whole is not worth loss than two
billion dollars. Real and personal prop¬
erty within the municipality ha3 grown
throughout tho psst decado more than
$40,000,000 per annum. Tho books in
the office of the Commissioner of Taxes
and Assessments state tho amount oi
taxes paid by every real estate holder
at the rate of $2.16 on every hundred
of tho assessed valuation. But theso
figures do not constitute a trustworthy
standard in the determination of mar¬
ket values, for the assorted reason that
somo assessments in down town wards
are of more than market value; in
other wards of only one-third, others
one-half, and still others two-thirds.
Vacant lots are assessed at from 20 to 36
per cent., improved property from 56 to
70 per cent, of real va uo. Inequitable
as the assessments are, it is yet true,
as tffirraed by ex-Mayor William R.
Grace, that “upon no specios of prop¬
erty can taxes bo levied with more
equality as to value nor with better
chance? of speedy and equitablo collec¬
tion than upon roai property. The val¬
uation placed upon personal estate from
all sources is not more than nineteen
per cent, of tho valuation placed upon
real property and the tax;s from this
source are most difficult of collection.

erally amounts to from $31,000,000 to

An F,xelusiTe Tyrolese Barber.
n The following story,” says tho St.
James’s Gazetto, “is told by the Aus¬
trian papers, and is amusing society in
Vienna. A few weeks ago a man
dressed in Tyrolese costume entered
the shop of tho principal barber ia Inns¬
bruck, sat down in a chair, and made a
sign that ho dosired to be shaved, The
proprietor of the establishment is
patronized by all the civic big-wigs of
the place, and is naturally anxious to
keep the circle of his customers select.
Seeing, therefore, a rough-looking fel¬
low clad in national Joppe reclining on
the velvet p’uffi that was sacred to local
officials, he approached tho daring in¬
truder, and bluntly told him, ‘We don’t
serve peasants hore; this ii a saloon for
gentlemen.’ The stranger rose, with a
smile. ‘Very Well,’ he said; ‘but
oblige me in case my adjutant Bhould
come in, by telling him that I have
gone to bo shaved by your rival across
the street. I am the Archduke Joseph.’
The Archduke, who is the Commander
in-Chiefof the Hungarian Landwchr,
and who ought to be pretty well known
by sight even in the Tyrol, then lifted
his hat and departed.’’

The school Question.
One of the liveliest discussions that
the Georgia Senate has ever had, took
place over the public school bill. Ihe
bill provided for the use of text books
throughout the state, with an amend¬
ment to the effect that, all things being
equal, the preference should first be
given Georgia’s author?, and then to
Southern authors. Senator Gibbs waut
ed to strike out the clause “all things
being equal,” and leave it compulsory
with the State school commission to use
nothing but text books by Southern
authors without regard to tho difference
in price and merit of such books and
those offered by Northern authors. He
said in the course of his speech that
there was not a book published north of
Mason and Dixon’s line that was not full
of sectionalism. After considerable dis¬
cussion, Senator Harris offered a substi¬
tute providing that a preference should
be given Southern books, and that, if it
was found necessary to purchase commission any
Northern books, the school
shall see to it that they contain nothing
of a sectional nature. The amendment
prevailed.

Corralled by Sharks.
A dinghy with grass from Dwarka
foundered not very far from Bate, a port
on the Cutch coast, while sha was on her
wav to Karachi, when the crew, con¬
sisting of seven, took to the time mast, which foun¬
had unshipped. At tha she
dered the vessel was very close to the
shore, and the crew were gradually
working their their way toward the heard beach,
when one of number was to
shriek, and immediately disappeared,
and the others, to their horror, realized
that they were surrounded by sharks,
with no means of escaping, as tho mast
not only gave with their weight, but
could not be kept steady on account of
the rough state of the sea. The men
were in a state of anxiety and fear, not
knowing whose turn would suddenly come next.
One by one the men disap¬
peared until only one remained, and by
this time the storm having subsided, lie
managed to balance himself steadily on
the mast, which drifted toward tha
beach on the following day. He was
thus tossed about on the sea, expeoting
every moment to be his last, for two
days and a night .—Sind Tima.
