FOB THE FARM ANO HOME. An IngenlOHi llen*Hou«c. One hen-house which we have seen has a very ingenious contrivance for getting outside hens into a genera! 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 very 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 hen into the yard, when the floor at once returns to its place, and thus leaves no chance of escape.— Tribune and Farmer. Bowing Hye in the Fall for ''oiling. An Indiana farmer says. Having had fourteen years’ experience in sowing rye the last of August and through September at different times, on rich land for soiling in April, 1 think I am able to state correctly the value of such a crop. Rye, 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 June. 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 rye 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 came through the winter all right and in line condition. As a feed for milch cows 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. Trnnapia ntinir Cabbages. 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 witli the young roots, but will be ultimately all absorbed. If possible plant in rainy weather; but 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 a little earth will adhere to each plant. As soon as they are planted in dry weather, they should receive a lib eral supply of water, otherwise most of them will die, unless protected from the 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-half feet between the rows and two feet between the plants will be re quired; but, with the smaller varieties less distance will be sufficient. The soli around the plants must be con stantly worked. A. P. Ford. I’lg Pen or ritf 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 fla vor of pork, made in the average filthy pigpen, from filthy food, and that made from sweet gra.ses and clover, out in the open and pure air, is so great that it would seem as though consumers would insist on using n >no but the last kind. Good, clean and sweet pork can be made in pens, how ever. and cheaper than in pastures even, and has been demonstrated on the Missouri College Farm. Tire pigs in traveling about the 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 the 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 ered in the 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 can be better done in the pen than in the pastu'e. While we thus advocate feeding pigs in pms, it is only with the idea that the pens are to be roomy, clean and healthful. To put pigs into small and filthy pens is cruel, and a disgrace to humanity, and makes a quality of pork which has created a merited prejudice against a healthful and palatable food.—. tfows and Farm. To remove mildew, soak in butter miia and spread on grass m the sun. The Oroi th or Weed,. 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 al 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 wieds and all its wild seeds by individ ual effort, are likely to be disappointed in their expectations. Many seeds will live in the soil for a long time, just how Jong 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.” Very 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 Purslane family that had nine branches; an average branch had fif teen branchlets; an average hranchlet had 212 seed capsules, and one seed capsule had 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 single 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 laud.— -F. IS.

The first thing of interest to attract me within a few hours of my arrival at Kosala, in Java, • writes 11. O. Forbes, an English scientist, was a case in one of the servants of tho 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 tho person becomes lata, losing the control of her will, and cannot refrain from imitating whatever she may hear or see done, and will 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-lh-heh, matjan!” (tiger): “he-ih-heh boorung besar!” (a great bird). Iler 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 ments or last for the greater part of a day, especially if the person be pre vented from calming down. The af flicted, if not seriously affected, are not altogether incapacitated from per forming the little duties to which they are accustomed. The most curious characteristics of the disease is their imitation of every action they see. On one occasion, while eating a banana, I suddenly met this servant with a piece of soap in her hand, and perceiv ing she was 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 I placed some plants in drying paper, not knowing that cater pillars were objects of supreme ab horrence to the 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 “boy,” 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, the balawak was seized by a paroxysm; dropping down on her hands and knees to imitate the reptile, she thus followed it through qfhe mud, water, and mire to the tree in which 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 ot the reptile in front of its head till the 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 st rength of will to escape or to cease acting in the way 1 have described. Lat a persons are constantly teased by their fellows, and are often kept in an excited state for whole days. Paper Pianos. A German paper gives an interest j ing account of a pianoforte made in j Faris in which paper was made to take the place of wood, the whole case being manufactured from paper so compressed that it was able to receive a hard surface which took a perfect polish. The color was cream white. The tone of the instrument is reported not to be loud, but very sweet. The short, broken character of ttie sounds emitted by ordinary pianofortes is re placed by a soft, full, quasi-continuous sound, resembling somewhat that of an organ. It has been suggested that the evenness of texture of the com pressed paper may have some influ ence in effecting this modification of sound. How He Was Saved. Perkins—“Snifkin failed! Well!

Buenos Ayres is one of the most prosperous cities in the world, but we are so far removed from it that we hardly realize its importance.

At a recent meeting of the New York Odontological Society, Dr. E. Family Brown said: I will venture the assertion that the excessive use of common salt is one of the main factors in the distraction of human teeth to-day. I am now en gaged in collecting some statistics on this point, from which 1 hope in time to demonstrate what seems to mo to be the fact, that common salt exces sively used is a great solvent of the human teeth. If it will injure the human teeth through the chemistry of our systems in some way or other, that 1 will not try to explain at present, why might it not also have the effect of preventing u gojd development of the teeth when taken into the system in excess? I have lately procured some statistics from the Sandwich Is lands. from a gentleman who has been there, covering a period of over forty years, that are very suggestive and and interesting. Within that period 1 the teeth of the Sandwich Islanders have decayci rapidly, and since they have begun to decay it has been no ticed that the natives are in the habit of biting off great chunks of salt and eating it with their food. According to all accounts, the teeth of the Sand which Islanders were formerly the most free from decay of any people on the face of the earth, if I remember rightly. You will find that the peo ple who eat a great deal of salt and a great deal of sugar are often entirely toothless.

She is the pa nter of the nor trait of General Thomas which has been befare Congress for so many years. She was born in Ohio. She was a great ; friend in early life of Mrs. Garfield.

He broke the engagement without any good reason, and Miss Ransom sued him for breach of promise. She obtained a verdict of SIO,OOO. This money six used to educate herself as an artist.

For many months this question tn Louis ville has been actively discussed, and the probability is that it will be for some time to come, viz.: “Shall the gamblers stay in Louisville, or shall they got” There are two sides to this question. Many people might suppose that there is but one side, and that in the name of the law, goal order and virtue, the professionals would be compelled to leave town, or else conduct their traffic so largely “on the sly” that it would not be a public offence to those who disap proved of it. The other side is that of the dealers who say that they make money out of the gamblers. The gamblers are liberal buyers ot a good many things, and their custom is sought It is said that a number of our merchants have written to the mayor, asking that the gamblers may be protected, in the interests of trade-, and not driven out of town. It is said that these merchants urge that if the gamblers are driven out, the best class of country merchants wifi go elsewhere to buy their goods, so that whenever they “make a trip to town,” they can have some fun in gambling. T his has brought into print some of the country merchants, who declare that they are not that sort of folks; and that when they come here it is to buy goods aud not to gamble. They protest arainst having the gamblers kept in town simply for their ac commodation. The alleged city merchants and dea'ers who are said to have besought the mayor to let gamblers stay, have not a< yet coins forward with a list of their names. And after all, the great question is, "How to make the gamblers gol” So there has been the great question as to how to drive out ot the human system cer tain evil agencies which were working all manner of mischief and doing in -akulable harm. Dyspepsia, malaria, and rheumatism, for instance. Sometimes people suiter these ills and would like to get rid of them, but don’t know how. Here is a point in regard to which the experience of two well-known citizens of Ixniisville may prove valuable. One of our corre-jsiudenU called on J O. Campbell, Esq., of the old and well known machinery house of J. O. Campbell & Bom, which was established In 1852, on First street. "As to that dyspepsia of yours, Mr. Camp bell i" "Yes; I had dyspepsia. I suffered badly with it for years. 1 suppose it was from over work Yes. 1 fought against it and kept my self up by hard work. But I got rid of it at last, by taking Brown's Iron Bitters. I took several bottles, and it. served me well. My wife was troubled withdebility, an 1 was very week and ailing. She took two bottles of the Bit’ers, and regained her strength. We think It is the best tonic we ever had.” From Mr. Campbell's establishment our correspondent went to the office of It. E. Miles, Esq., the real estate dealer, on West Main street, No. 214. In answer to queries, Mr. Milos remarked: “I had boils. They were very troublesome boils too, and there wi re a good many of them. Vitiated state of the blood, 1 suppose. It was about two years ago I took two or three bottles of Brown’s Iron Bitters, anil tho boils went away. I cannot attribute their going away to anything but the Brown’s Iron Bitters, which did the work most effectually. “My wife, too. had bad blood, and her digestion was much impaired. She to<k Brown's Iron Hitters, and it did for her as much as it did for me. It is a splendid tonic for ladies. I have known of its proving very valuable in other cases.” Now there are a great many people tc whom indigestion, dyspepsia, boils, malaria, backaches, kidney troubles and liver com plaints are us great nuisances as the gam filers are to the good citizens of Louisville. Perhaps there may be some advantage of al lowing these evils to remain and hold possession of the human system. If so, we cannot see what it is. Better drive them out as speedily as possible, and so effectually that they are not likely to return. The best thing to drive them out with is Brown's Iron Bitters. And be sure that you buy of your druggist the one, only genuine article which has crossed red lines aud trademark on wrapper. Words of praise for Brown's Iron Bitters from those we know. Mrs M.

TontagiousF I am a native of England, and while I was In that country I contracted a terrible blood poison, and for two years was under treatment an out door pa tlentat Nottingham Hospital. England, but was not cured. I Buffered the moat agonizing pains in my bones, and was covered with son-s all over my body aud limbs. Finally I completely lost all hope in that country, and sailed for America, and was treated at Roosevelt in this city, as well as by a prominent physician In New York having no con uectlon with the hospitals. I saw the advertisement of Swift’s Specific, and I determined t-. give it a trial. I took six bottles and 1 can say with great joy that they have cured m* entirely. I am as sound and well as I ever was In my life. L. Fskd. Halfobd New York City, June 12tb, 1885. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free. The swift Spscific Co., Drawer 3. Atlanta, Ga.
