AGRICULTURAL
rOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARSI AND GARDEN.
TRANSPLANTING pc;r.
A valuable addition to the working
out lit of a gardener is anew transplanting
pot made in three parts, the body being
divisible and the bottom removable.
In transplanting the bottom is removed
from the body, the pot inserted in a hole
in the ground, and the keys which con
trol the grip of the side pieces with
drawn, when tho valves are pressed
laterally apart and raised from the earth,
leaving the earth and plant it had con
tained in the new location. —New York
Herald.
CAPTURING ABSCONDING SWARMS.
Swarm3 sometimes break cluster and
take wing before the beekeeper has hived
them. Throwing dirt among them will
sometimes cause them to alight again.
Professor A. J. Cook advises throwing
water in the form of a hue spray among
them. For such purpose some hand
pump is very desirable. Auother im
portant use for such a pump, mentioned
by the Professor, is this: If the swarm,
when clustered, be sprinkled occasional
ly it will remain clustered indefinitely.—
New York World.
SOFT-SHELLED EGGS.
The shell of an egg is deposited over
the egg very rapidly from a secretion ex
uding from the membrane of the egg
passage, and after the egg with its
fibrous covering (the soft shell, so
called,) has been formed. When the se
creting membrane is diseased, as by in
flammation, its function is disturbed,and
the hard lime shell is not formed. Over
feeding and excessive fatness will pro
duce this condition. Give the fowls
plenty of grass but no grain for several
days, then give plenty of bran with
scalded oatmeal. A few days’imprison
ment in a coop without any food will
work nn unfailing cure.— N't in York
Times.
HUGE IIORSE VS. TWO ACTIVE IIORSES.
There is a contest among some breed
ers of draught horses as to who can pro
duce the largest animal. The argument
ndvanced by these men is that the time
must shortly come when the increased
trade in city streets will compel express
men and others to dispense with their
two-horse wagons and substitute smaller
wagons drawn by one largo horse. Thtl
is a plausible theory, but it does not ap
pear to agree with the statements made
by the expressmen who are to try the
burses. The Sural New Yorker lias wit
nessed a number of them in New York
city, and all that have been seen
that they prefer two active horses to°one
huge beast. The large horses are in
good demand for trucking purposes, but
those who breed them with the thought
of driving out the active express horse
are sure to be disappointed.
SQUASHES.
If you want nice squashes in abundance
follow the method experience has taught
me is the best. Plant on good, warm
soil. I prefr* greensward. Manure
liberally, spread eight or ten cords to the
acre and harrow it in thoroughly. If
yon have any night soil use this for
squashes and harrow it in. During the
final week in June make the hills eight,
or ten feet apart—no nearer—and thor
oughly mix with the soil a handful of
good phosphate. Put in these hiils
eight or ten seeds and cover with about
an inch of fine earth. When the young
plants come up keep a sharp lookout for
all bugs. The first will probably be the
small striped bugs. For these use plaster
sifted on the vines when wet. Then for
the pumpkin bug, a large black one, I
have found nothing surer than hand kill
ing. When the vines have five leaves
there is not so much danger of these
bugs. One must see to them, every day
before this or his crop will be ruined.
About this time or later the squash borer
and cut worms get in their work. For
these I se the saltpetre solution—one
tablespoonful to a pail of water. A pint
or less put about each hill around the
vines does the work. At the last hoeing
or when aIL danger of bug is passed pull
out all but two or thice plants in each
hill. It is seldom I lose a hill of
squashes. There is no need of it. Be
sure and plant pure seed. After I find a
kind that is good I buy by the pound.
What is not used this year is just as good
next year. —New England Homestead.
BREEDING GEESE.
As geese are great grazers it is useless
to attempt to breed them unless one bss
plenty of room. They require unlimited
grass runs and ought to be kept apart
from the poultry yard containing young
chicks. Where one has suitable facilities
for raising geese, they return good pro
fits, as, if set early, two broods max' be
obtained from each female, thereby se
curing flocks for each season's sales. The
Toulouse and Embden varieties are to Lie
preferred to other sorts, where breeding
for profit is in order. These attain heavy
weights, mature early and are hardy and
prolific. While geese are setting they
should be thoroughly dusted with sulphur
or pyrethrum once or twice to cleanse
them from vermin. A good plan after
the goslings are hatched is to make a
triangular pen with three long boards,
where the grass is short but fresh and
green, and move to anew place every
day. A shallow dish of water must be
placed so they can get into it, aud be re
filled as often as it get3 foul. Feed a lit
tle at a time, bht often, while they are
small, and at the end of a week they will
have gained strength so they may be
turned into their pasture, if sheltered at
night. If a gosling gets wet so as to
look drenched, and it begins to droop,
it must be dried. If goslings are taught
to eat, then well fed and kept dry till
well feathered, success is almost certain.
When fully leathered they are able lotakc
eaie of themselves and on a large farm
can do their own foraging until fattening
time, when they should be penned un
and fed all they will eat —New York
World.
FARM WELLS.
The wells on the farm are a great
source from which come many diseases.
Some wells are never cleaned. When
dug they are carefully boarded over, the
pump made tight and snug, with the
ground sloping away on all sides so as to
allow the surface water to flow from tho
opening. There is no well water that is
pure. Something depends on the
character of the soil. If sandy, and the
water will disappear quickly from the
surface after a rain, the well will drain
the soil for a long distance around it,
and the consequence will bo that a large
portion of the filth of the soil will find
its way into the well, although the water
may appear sparkling aud bright. It is
contended that the soil removes all the
impurities from the water, but this de
pends upon whether the soil, by long
continued absorption, be not already so
thoroughly saturated with impurities as
to refuse to take up more. That the soil
docs not remove all the impurities, even
from new ground where a well has been
recently dug, has been demonstrated by
saturating the surface earth at a distance
from the well with kerosene oil, which
gradually found its way to the well,
(having been washed down by the rains),
and imparted its odo.r to the water.
If the soil he of heavy clay the danger
u’ill be lessened, but on all porous soil
the liability of pollution of the water is
great. No manure heaps, privies, sinks
or other receptacle for filth or refuse of
any kind should be within 150 feet of
the well—the further off the better. No
matter how tight the well may be, the
toad will sometimes contrive to get in.
Many wells contain toads that die, and
are swallowed in the drinking water un
knowingly, under the supposition that
tho well is tight and “toadproof.” Wells
should be cleaned at least once a year,
and especially in the fall. For a dis
tance of ten feet around the well the
surface should be cemented, and the
pump itself should be cleaned occasional
ly. Toads, flies, bugs, worms and even
gnats will get into the water, while even
a few drops of solution from a filthy
drain or sink, finding its way into the
xvell, carry bacteria enough rapidly to
multiply and contaminate all of the
water. Boots of trees aud vines also
serve as drains into the wells, as they
loosen the soil, and for that reason they
should never be planted near the sourco
of drinking water. —Sanitary Netcs.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Hitch your horses in the shade.
Protect your animals from flies.
Start the cultivators in the corn.
Waste apples may be profitably
changed into vinegar.
Sprinkle hellebore and water on rose
bushes to kill the insects.
Bum all cuttings or plucked leaves
that are infested by insects.
A good lunch about 5 p. m. is very re
freshing these long, liot days.
Do not altow your cows to be driven
fast before milking, or at any time.
A few tomato plants among melons
and squashes will drive away insects.
The proper preparation of the soil for
the crop is quite as important as proper
cultivation afterward.
Do not keep the cream too long, for
if you do it gets old and too sour, and
the result is poor butter.
All small fruits require a complete
fertilizer,either stable manure or a chemi
cal compound, on old soils.
To keep a tree from growing too late
in the fall pinch off the terminal shoots
as far as they can be reached.
Good roads would reduce the cost of
hauling farm products to market at least
one-half for the whole country.
Early potatoes arc better if dug as
soon as ripe, and either sold or stored in
a cool, dry, well ventilated cellar.
The most valuable food is the most
valuable as a fertilizer, aud when fed
produces the most valuable manure.
ijan and tree xvere made for each
other; where the one does not grow the
other does not abide in his best estate.
Do not be afraid to use the harrow
freely. It pays to pulverize and powder
the soil, as xvell as to keep down the
weeds.
Put your slop-water and soapsuds on
the ground among the growing plants of
the garden. It xvill help fertilize the
ground.
Animals ought to have twice the stable
room that is generally given them. There
is nothing gained in crowding animals
or crops.
It is said the best sweet coru grows on
rocky and strong soil; better than in
sandy or light black soil filled with vege
table fibre.
Professor Davenport of the Michigan
Agricultural G’ollege says: “We fail, as
do others, to secure the be3t ensilage
from the large, xvatery sorts of corn des
titute of ears.”
If farmers will pick up all the loose
bones, old boots, etc., around the place
and burn them, putting the ashes after
being pulverized around their small
fruits, it will be greatly to their ad
vantage
The best remedy for apple tree pests
this year is as follows: “Soft soap, on<
pint; carbolic acid, four teaspoonfuls and
w'ater, hot and cold, to make foui
quarts.” This is also good for lice on
cattle. It works like a charm.
One man will use two minutes thre:
times a day for six months to prop up
aud secure a broken gate because he has
“no title to repair it,” while his neigh
bor will take a whole hour for repair at
the start and save at least a day and 3
half in a year.
Grain and grass is the natural food foi
poultry when accorded full liberty, in
confinement if given almost entirely the
former and deprived of the latter, trouble
will ensue. We have found it advantage
ous to have every other feeding a dry
food ns our birds have done uniformly
better-
Our Bedrooms.
A pretty bedroom is no longer such a
rara arts as in days of old; in most
houses, if not luxuriously decorated (ac
cording to our forefatheis, ideas), still
we find a bright, clean apartment, swept
and garnished, without any of the terribly
stuffy hangings and four-[Misters in xvhich
the said fathers delighted Occasion
ally still we come across an old lodging
house or mansion xvhich has not yet fal
len into the bauds of the decorator, and
one shudders to see the terrible dark wall
pap. rs of huge grotesque design, raid
fancies the agony of the unfortunate in
valid xvho was patiently obliged to endure
them. Even trustfully putting the
possibility of illness in our own
particular sanctum aside, is it not pleas
ant to open our eyes to pretty surround
ings and to start refreshed for life’s bur
den by a sense of well-being and satis
faction. A bad night's rest sends us
about our day’s xx'ork tired and inclined
to be captious about trifles, and bow of
ten the bad night is due to our bed not
being all it might be.
There is a few' golden rules to be re
membered in choosing papers for bed
rooms. The first and most important is
to avoid any design which lias any par
ticular line or spot which would attract
the eye, as the principal idea in this
apartment should be one of com
plete repose. For the same reason no
glaring contrasts should be used. Again,
if wo have a cold north aspect,xve should
select some color which wil 1 bring xvnrmth
and brightness into the room, such as a
real yellow, not one of those lemon ye -
lows, which have a sickly effect, or a
pale pink or a terracotta; in a south
or xvest room xve may indulge our wildest
fancy with pretty floral papers—pale
greens and pale blues. It is wise to ascer
tain the.nrsenirnl properties of these txxm
last. Auother consideration is to
try to adapt one or two rooms,
at least, with schemes of color xvhich
xvill assimilate together; every good
housewife will knoxv the value of having
the same carpet in one or txx-.o rooms, if
not in all. These “cut into" each other
xvhen slightly worn save the expense of
buying fresh carpets for each room; but
of course this would not be feasible if you
selected unsuitable colors, such as blue,
mauve, and green rooms together,
while, on the other hand, an
unobtrusive green carpet would
look equally xvell with a yellow
a pink and a green room. There is a
quaint conceit gaining ground noxv of
having your bedrooms named after some
particular flower, such as a “rose” room,
a pretty floral paper, xvith roses and for
get-ine-nots introduced, cretonne to
match, and even the ware “powdered”
xx itli rosebuds, while the carpet would Ire
of a dull green to mntdi the foliage.
Tlreu you could have a “daffodil room,”
all green and yelloxv; or un “Iris” purple
and greeu, to say nothing of a “sweet
briar,” or dog rose, in pa’e pinks.
The Cleansing Properties of Soap.
These are oxving to the soda and potash
xvhich enter into its composition. Dirt
requiring to be washed away, xvbother off
the skin or clothing, is oxving prim i [Kilty
to dust particles and matters of a more or
le.-s greasy or fatty nature. If fats or oils
are added to pure water, it is well known
they do not mix or dissolve in that liquid,
but if soap is present the fats au 1 oils be
come readily dissolvable. The effect of
soap, which is a combination of the nlka
lies of soda and potash and fatty acids,
is, therefore, to unite with the
greasy and fatty' matters, rendering
them soluble in water The alka
lies of soda and potash xvhich are con
tained iu soap are more powerful cleans
ers xvhen used alone; but in that case
their action is too energetic, as they tend
to destroy animal and vegetable fiber,
and hence are injurious to the skin and
to fabrics. They therefore require to
have their energies toned down, ns it
were, and this is accomplished by uniting
them with the fatty acids. When .soap
is dissolx-cd in water, the soda or potash
is set free to some extent, and seizes the
grease nnd dirt present, xvhich thus be
comes soluble, and are washed axvay by
the water.
Egyptian Hue.
An English scientific journal contains
an interesting note, from a foreign source,
xvith reference to the pigment knowu as
Egyptian blue, xvhich xvus used by the
Romans in the first few cet turies of the
Christian era, and xvhich is of such a per
manent character, resisting as it does both
atmospheric and chemical influences, that
works executed xvith it many centuries
back still retain their brightness
of color. The pigment is said to have
been discovered by Virtrnvius, in Alex
andria, xvho made it by mixing fine sand
with carbonate of soda, adding copper
tilings to the mixture, nnd molding into
balls with water. These lumps w ere then
dried, and heated in clay pots until the
blue color was developed. It i* thought
that the manufacturer of this p’giment.
w'hich has the advantage of being ven i
cheap as well as good, might be revived j
with great benefit to the arts.
Sheet-Glass.
An improved method of making sheet- |
glass is said to hat e been pcrf.cted bv j
au American manufacturer. At present j
such glass is made by blow ing a cylinder,
aud after cutting it down on one side it I
is allowed to unroll itself by its own
weight xvhile resting iu a hot state iijmid
a flat surface. In this new method the |
glass in a semi-liquid molten condition is
submitted to the action of hollow metal
rollers, which arc heated on the inside by
steam or ga, and it is by them rolled
out in a thin sheet much after he mau
ner in which plate glass is mad . The j
new process is said to lurnish sheet-g. ass j
of a high quality at a cheaper rate than
was before practicable.

Train Your Left Hand.
• 11 •
It is somewhat strange that so strong
a prejudice against the left band has
Hived nnd increased for centuries when
there is no natural or physiological reason
for it. If you examine the skeleton of a
person who was strong, heaitiiy and welt
formed in life, you xvill find that the
bones of the left baud aud arm arc just
as many and just as large and perfect in
formation as those of the light. The
study of physiology xvill moreover shoxv
you that the muscles, ligaments aud carti
lages that fastened that person’s arras to
his body wort as perfect in one arm as in
the other. If the left xvere the
weaker of the twit was because
of neglect to exercise it. In monk
eys, cats nnd othe. animals, paws an
swer the purpose of bands, and they
xvould smite derisively should yott sug
gest to them that paws were lights or
lefts, or that the paws on this side could
do more than those upon the other.
When; therefore, a boy or girl says that
he or she can throxv a ball, handle a t* n
nis bat or do anything else only xvith the
right hand, it is a direct admission that a
monkey or a cat is physically more ad
vantageously equipped; yet it is the gen
eral belief that human creatures ;ire the
most perfectly formed creutures. First
attempts to use the left hand are always
awkward and discouraging; but inordi
nary cases persistency xvill gradually
strengthen the least-used member and
teach it to act as ably and sturdily as the
right, till finally there xvill be two per
fect hands instead of one.
The art of Leaving’.
The art of leaving is less understood by
xvomon tli n by men. The habits of
business, the recognized fact that to a
business m m time is money, the throng
aud press and exactness of business life,
all tend to make mail xvho live in cities
the best possible exemplars of the fine
art of leaving quickly and neatly. A
business man’s social call Is usually
a model of good manners in
this respect. When he has
said xx hat lie has to say, and
listened to what there is to hear, he takes
his hat, says “good evening,” and is out
of your presence without giving any
time or chance for the too often tedious
and embarrassing commonplaces of mu
tual invitations nnd promises to call again,
xvhich seem to be a kind of social formula
xvith xvomen. In striking contrast xvith
this neat and skillful method of cutting
short the parting words of au interview
or call, is ihe too common social practice
of visitors, xvho, commencing to leave,
seem temporarily to abandon their pur
pose, and linger, as though it xvere a
kind of compliment to the v siting party
to appear loth to part company.

Sense of Smell.
It is a fact that among many savage
tribes the sense of smell is almost ns acute
ns in some of the lower animals. The
Peruvian Indians are able, according to
Humboldt, to distinguish in the middle
of ihe n : ght whether an approaching
stranger is a European, American, lu
dian, or negro. M. Houzeau also asserts
that he proved b\ r repeated experiments
that negroes and Indians can distinguish
persons in the dark by their oder. Indian
travelers have recorded that certain na
tives who habitually abstain from animal
food have a sense of smell which is so
exquisitely delicate that, they can tell
from which well a vessel of water has
been obtained. By smell alone the ne
groes of the Antilles will detect the foot
steps of a Frenchman frem those of a
negro. The guides who accompany
travelers on the route from Aleppo to
Babylon will tell by smelling the desert
sand how near they are to the latter
place. But the people gifted with deli
cate olfactory nerves above nil others, are
the aborigines of Australia; and to such
an extent is their gift idled upon that
the government had, a few years back, a
number of natives on the police force who
were employed solely us trackers for
hunting out criminals by smell alone,
which they did with the greatest success.

Mrs. Brown—“IIow did they do it ?”
Little Johnnie—“ Cora holds the lemon
while Mr. Merritt squeezes Cora.”
1 1 Seems Ntrnngr.
It seenixstrange llmt anyone will make a
use of quinine and take their chances of suf
fering from such distress as fulness of the
head, headache, dizzy sensations, intestinal
irritation, nausea, paralysis, etc., when all the
good effects of quinine are secured by a use of
that harmless discovery of Dr. John’ Hull, of
l.ouisville, Ky., known as Smith’s Tonic Syrup.
No harmful effect ever follows the use of this
Hyruj), and it tastes so good that children will
ask for it. It has never yet failed to cure a
case of chills and fever, eYen when quinine
and other prepn rat ions did no good. It Is well
also to take a dose after any severe exposure,
as it M ill keep off as well as cure a cold.
Too full for utterance— The man Mho is
speechlessly drunk.
Said ore Indy: “I wish my children looked
as bright and healthy as your'n do.” Replied
the other lady: “Mine Mould look just as sick
ly and punv as vour’s If I did not occasionally
give them Dr. Hull’s Worm Destroyers.”
“Ho dark and yet so light,” as the man said
about his short ton of cold.

“A EACE WITH DEATH!”
Among the nameless heroes, none are
more worthy or martyrdom than he who
rode down tno valley of the Conemaugh,
warning the people ahead of the Johns
town flood. Mounted on a powerful
horse, faster and faster went the rider,
but the flood was swiftly gaining, until
It caught the unlucky horseman and
swept on, grinding, crushing, annihila
ting both weak and strong.
In the same way is disease lurking
near, like unto the sword of Damocles,
ready to fall, without warning, on its
victim, who allows his system to be
come clogged up, and his blood poi
soned, anu thereby his health endan
gered. To eradicate these poison3 from
the system, no matter what their name,
or nature, and save yourself a spell/of
malarial, typhoid or bilious fever, or
eruptions, swellings, tumors and kin
dred (listiguremcnts, keep the liver anil
kidneys healthy and vigorous, by the
use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery. It's the only plood-purifler sold
on trial. Your money Is returned if it
doesn’t do exactly as recommended. A
concentrated vegetable extract. Sold
by druggists, in large bottles, at SI.OO.
