FOB FARM AND GARDEN. A RAT-PROOP CORN CRIB. a corn crib may be made rat and mouse proof by covering the frame with quarter-inch galvanized wWc gauze, all over. Tho cost of this will be easdy saved in two or threo years, and the covering is particularly im¬ perishable. Tho floor should be raised eighteen inches above the ground on posts, and should be made of bars pro¬ tected by the same covering.—New York Times. the com .in Mom. An Illinois fruit-grower says that • the best way to keep the apple orchard free from codim mollis is to fence it for the pigs, and as soon as the wormy apples begin to drop turn in the pigs every day, Just long enough for them to eat up the fallen fruit. He adds that although in a section not favorably located for raising fruits for market, there is no good reason why every fanner should not produce enough for a full home supply every year—and no fact is better cstabli-hed than tint, the consump ion of plenty of fruit the yuarVound is conducive to health aud happiness.- J -[New York Witness. ..i RULES FOR BARN BUILDING. Before making a plan insure plenty of room by a full estimate of capacity. Ascertain what you want to store iu it. The following from Country Gentleman will assist you: Allow three by fourteen feet for each iiorsc, four by twelve feet for each cow, twenty feet square or more for tools and machinery, twice this apace for a silo, 600 cubic feet for each ton of average bay, about or liearjy the same for unthreshed liay, a threshing floor twelve to twenty feet wide and extending lengthwise or across the barn, a granary having a capacity in cubic feet equal to about four-fif hs of the struck bushel, and olher requirements. The food required for animals, be¬ sides the usual feeding of grain,would be from three to four tons of good .liay for each horse in six or eight months and nearly two tons for eacli .cow in five or six months. The feed¬ ing of ensilage to each cow will be from one cubic foot to one and a half cubic feet, or about two hundred and fifty cubic feet in the five or six months. A silo for twenty cows should hold five thousand cubic feet. For storing straw, double the bulk of hay should be allowed. PLANTING FRUIT TREES. There is 60 much upheaval of newly stirred earth by winter's frosts and floods that it is not generally best to plant fruit trees in tho fall. This i->, (however, a good time to purchase them, as 6tocks are now full and a better selection cau be made than in the spring. The rule with nursery¬ men is to servo best those who come and pay first. If their stock runs 6liort it is second-class trees that are left over'. " The advantage of securing trceain the fall it in heeling them in, which consists in digging a trench where the roots may be laid with the tops of the trees sticking out at an angle of thirty to forty degrees. Mix earth th roughly with the mots, fircut,ing off uil bruised .or portions, making a clean cut. \Y r i.h |oi] in con act with this cut surface new 'Dots will form and be ready to push out when the transplanting is Gone in die spring, The trees can then be set with a certainly that in a ft-W Weeks their roots will have firm huj^l of the soil. It is worn labor than to wait util spring and then plant us soon as the rees are received, but the trees do so much bettor as to easily pay the extra expense.—[Couricr-Jour- tml. ELECTRICITY IN AGRICULTURE. The application of electricity to ag¬ riculture. lias long been discussed. There have long stood in the way tho uucettainty how to apply it and (lie difficulty uf Ascertaining what the ex¬ act elle.t of electricity on plants was. Many investigators have reported a greatly increased yield. Mr. N. Spec- new, says the Illustrated American, described tho latest experiments in practical electricity. In one series be used seeds of haricot beans, sunflow¬ ers and winter and spring rye. Tho secds;wcre soaked, electrified aud im¬ mediately sown. The plants were more developed, their leaves were larger and their color brighter Ilian those grown from non- efle^trifled seed, blit the yield was not affected. In another series of experi¬ ments plates of copper and zinc about. two ; fcet by two feet*, and six inches were buried at the end of the plots and connected by their upper faces, the effect being to establish a current through the earth. The result was manifested by.a larger crop and by the growth of vegetables of enormous dimensions. In a third series electri¬ cal collectors were mounted on insu¬ lated rods aud connected by wires, the effeet being to obtain a-highly electri¬ fied atmosphere. Seeds of rye, corn, oats,barley,peas, clover, potatoes and flax were used. This form of clectroculture increased the yield of seed an average of one- naif, and that of straw one-third, while flic ripening was more rapid. It was also found that potatoes grow u, by electroculturc were rarely diseased, n” ' />- t t G beneficial effects of electricity on vines attacked byplf. loxera have already been observed it la possible that a new means is at hand of combating the microscopic pesta which attack vegetable growth. . CONCENTRATED FOOD FOIt riGS. The stomach of a hog is not largo enough to adapt it to bulky, innutri¬ tions food. As it does nr,t chew tho cud it cannot make use of grass or bay in such large amounts as do cattlo and sheep. Pigs will eat a little clover, but if left without other food will not grow much if at all. Knowing this, os'most fanners do, It must seem s waste of effort by the Now York Ex¬ periment Station to make a trial ol en. silage and comfrey as food for grow¬ ing pigs. The result was what might havo been expected. Tho pigs meroly rooted over the ens.lage enough to so- cure what bits of corn were scaUered through it. Then they, when driven by hunger, chewed as much of the en- silage as they coidd. Prickly comfrey was eaten in very similar manner. The pigs fed on b an and corn meal, with a small amount of ensilage, did better; but neither they nor those fed on corn alone produced pork at a profit. Tho experiment, in shovt, decided nothing not already well known by farmers. The cost of the ensilage and of the prickly comfrey was estimated at $1 per ton, while rather curiously the manure from this same ton is esti¬ mated at $1.18. According to this the ensilage-fed pigs, though gaining nothing themselves, were really a source of profit as machines for mak- ing manure. It is even suggested in the bulletin recording this experiment lhat breed¬ ing animals, both boars and sotvs, may be kept on ensilage, as no increase in their weight is expected. But bow is the sow to nourish the young she is bearing, or the boar to be kept in proper vigor for-breeding on such food as tliis? Tho experiment was made with improved breeds, the Chcsbiro and Duroc-Jersey. A wild, long- nosed Southern pig would have been better adapted to this style of feeding, and with such specimens this unfortu- nate experiment might have succe-edoii better.—[American Cultivator. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Take extra care of young stock how. Fewer crooked bars and more gates, Prepare for a tough Winter, anyhow. Good roads help make high-priced farms. A paint brush is handy in oiling harness. If you wish to strike a cow count one hundred first. Tho orchard needs more manure than tho grain field. Make water furrows from the low places in your fields. During the rainy days repair tbs tools, oil the harness and fix up the cow stable. Chaff,, cut straw or sawdust make excellent litter for the floor of tho duck house. If a young fruit tree blows over set it up as qui- lc as you can, and fasten it to its place. Gi npe seed for planting ought to bo saved' from well-ripened fruit and buried in moi t sand until spring. Hay allowed to mature and then cut and allowed to lay in tho Sun until tlioronghly dried out, looses from one- third to one half its nutritwe value as a feed for stock. Generally the loss hay Is handled tho less will be the cost'aud t ie better the quality Ot the product for feeding, and generally machinery and horses will do the work cheaper that- men. I11 order to realize the largest profits from the meadows a goo.! even stand of grass must be scoured. It must be cut in good season and he handled and stored away in an economical manner, and then be fed out to good, thrifty stock on the farm. A lVord About Scollops. A scollop shell is in shape not un¬ like that of a small clam, although the shells of tho former are flatter and very fragile. Each shell is regularly pectinated or fluted from back to edge. The outer surface of the shell is ash colored, and the inner faces are cov¬ ered with a delicate coating of pink mother of pearl. The only ediblo part of a scollop is a muscle, larger but like in appear, ancc to the oyster muscle, commonly called “tho eye.” Tho muscle when taken from (ho scollop is about as large as a pigeon egg and of a fishy whiteness. All other parts of the scollop are watery and insipid. This refuse still retains its reputation yis a bait for all kinds of fish. The scollop is a graoeful and rapid swimmer, and is not affixed to ground or stone or log like the oyster. When resting ho drops in the sea weed, but never seeks the bottom like other shell¬ fish. When swimming tho scollop opens his shells until they look like a pair of wings, and closes them again with lightning rapidity. As this double motion is made more than a hundred times a minute some idea of the scollop’s amazing evolutions may be had. It is the most restless and voracious shellfish. In search of nni- mslcula;, ils food, (he scollop is untir¬ ing, and is on the move night and day * —[New York Herald. QUAINT ANI) CURIOUS. A dropsical patient in Iowa has been tipped Ml times.

But not only do they get striking effects from llicir alloys and pickling— (heir mode of working up the metals is a thing to be studied. For instance, they wi 1 take six or seven plates of ddlyient metals and alloys, weld them together, and tlten by drilling, puiicli- ing up and filing, get a surface in which all the metals sliow in a manner which is truly wonderful.

Tho farmer had a houseful of summer boarders, and one morning he was bu.-ily engaged in killing chickens for dinner. Just as lie was about to decapitate an old black hen the house was discovered to be on lite, and a scene of confusion immediately ensued. The farmer rushed aimlessly about in all directions, holding the hen under his arm ami doing nothing toward as¬ sisting in putting out tho flames. At last his wife caught sight of him as he was prancing about, and rushing up to him wanted to know why lie did not help put out the fire.
