AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTIIT.
Liebig says that vegetation ab«rb*
In its growth less than one-eightn part
of its own weight from the substances
of the *>n, the remaining portions be-
ing ceqiitouiided from tbo ruins, dews
and gases of the atmosphere, which
aro absorbed by the leaves as well as
the roots of plan s. Therefore, if one
heavy crop of cow peas out of live is
plowed under, you will return to the
soil more than you have taken from it.
Always keep this in mind: Feed your
land for good crons as you feed your¬
self and horse or mnle for good work.

nr weight.
Canadian chicken-raisers have long
found it profitable to breed hens that
laid small eggs and laid them often.
Now tliat the Canadian government
has received advices from English
authorities on the egg qiio-tion, saying
that there will not be the
difficulty in obtaining tho highest
price for Canadian eggs,providing they
weigh over two pounds and a half to
the score, a different kind of hen will
bo in demand. The manifestly unjust
pmctice of selling eggs at so much a
dozen dies hard; but, like other unjust
practices, it has got to go.—[New
York Witness.
MAKING CHEESE.
The first thing to be done in making
cheese is to convert the liquid caseine
into an iusolublo and almost indigesti¬
ble curd. The next step is to deprives
it of twenty-nine thirtieths of its
water, making it still harder nnd more
indigestible, and finally to solidify it
still further by adding salt; and thus,
by the time it J is out of the pft’ess, we
have put ittnto Im indigestible condi¬
tion and rendered it until for human
food until modified by further change.
This is effected by waiting for the slow
actio* ot rennet and the free oxygen
of the air to break down the tough,
clastic and insoluble compound into
ten der, plastic, soluble clieow—a cured
chec-s-piipe niu(,i icli, with a new fla¬
vor, digestible, wholesome and nutri¬
tious.— [jNaUoiial Dairyman.

.XJUX XT RAW FOIi BEDDING.
A German agr'cR.Uiral journal pre¬
sents some cogent argunients in favor
of chopped in place of whole straw
for animal bedding. The lirst consul-
oration is the economy of it, which ex¬
periments have shown to be about
tViry-five per cent. Secondly, tho
coin fort, .of tho, auiiu.il is belter se¬
emed. In the use of long straw an
even distil uition of it will rarely oc¬
cur, and the animal will be treated to
• a .lumpy couch. Furthermore, it is
far eascr to separate* the wet and
soiled portions of n cut straw bed
from the (|rv.
Ako, the chopped bedding is a bet-
ter absorbent of tlie ’animal's drop¬
pings, and there is less waste of am-
lAonia by evaporation. It is far more
easily manipulated in the coinpost
heap. Again, as the absoption of fer¬
tilizing material has been more equal
iu the short bedding material, so the
compost heap in turn becomes more
uniform and homogeneous—better
^oriificd agaiiut external influences
‘Mid.few given to internal fermenta-
lionT' This is a point of prime im-
J ortance, as many will attest who
have exposed themselves to serious
Joss in their manure heaps by burning.
Important ns is this matter in the sta¬
ble it is 6till more so in the. pigsty,

UNRIPE POTATOES.
It is sometimes said that Northern-
grown potatoes keep better for tliat
I act. Bat (here are exceptions to tliis
i ulc. In northern Dakota and the ad.
;wont region of Manitoba frost killed
i'ie potato vines in Aujust, when the
! ibers were fully gro vn but not l’ipcn-
td. I ai mers dug the potatoes and
marketed them promptly, as the price
wn s higher than for any Other farm
jioo. But these potatoes are rottiug
badly, and aro wet and soggy oven
whon they do not rot. In ono word
tho potatoes are unripe. If the tuber*
wcro l)0t themselves frost bitten, putr
ting them in heaps and lightly
covering them for a week would al-
JO w tbo surplus moisture to evaporate
ftn j t heir skins to harden so thut they
will not peel off by being rubbed.
This is often done by potato grow¬
ers in marketing their early crop be¬
fore it has ripened. So long as tho
potato skin slips easily it must bo
handled tvltli great care. To dry the
potatoes as rapidly as possible helps to
harden the skins, though the tubers
will never cook dry and mealy as they
should if the vines had been allowed
to ripen them naturally, The full,
undisturbed growth of potato leaves
is essential to making a sound, mer¬
chantable crop. Frost, blight and tho
ravages of tho polatoe beetle are
equally injurious to the quality of po¬
tatoes, as each in different ways dc-
stro. s the leaves on which their ripen¬
ing must depend. — [Boston Cultivator.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
TIavo the roosts on a level. •.
One gobbler is sufficient for four
liens.
If you have any late hatched clucks,
keep forcing them ahead.
Eggs arc increasing in price. Force
the pullets to early laying.
It is much easier to make repairs to
the lien house now than later.
For an ornamental deciduous hedge
the Japan quince is recommended.
Don’t forget to save tho best young
lien turkeys for breeding purposes.
The next four months is when the
farmer should make money out of his
lions.
A comfortable cow stable need not
be costly, but a stable will be costly if
no t comfortable.
No danger of getting (he growing
stock too fat. There is more liability
of not giving them enough.
Well fed pullets will lay much
earlier than those allowed to go to
roost without a Well-filled crop.
A stack of straw will make more
warmth for more cows if used as bed¬
ding in a warm barn instead of out of
doors.
Fowls are fond of onions chopped
up and mixed with their soft food.
Onion*are a -preventive aud remedy

Dairymen who are producing milk
for butler should use great care in se¬
lecting only cows that are rich in but¬

About the Stars nml Stripes.
It is related that the flag which was
raised at Cambridge January 2, 1776,
by Washington, was composed of
thirteen red and white stripes with the
crosses of St. George nnd St. Andrew
emblazoned on the blue canton in place
t of the stars. This flag was also car¬
ried by tlie fleet under command of
, Commander Esck Hopkins, when it
sailed from the Delaware capes, Feb¬
ruary 17, 1776.
In tho following year, June 14,
1777, the Continental Congress passed
a resolution “That the flag of the
Uni c l States l>e thirteen stripes, al¬
ternate red ar.d white; that tho Union
he thirteen stars, white on a blue field,
representing a now constellation.’’
How or by whom the idea of tho star
was first suggested is uncertain, al¬
though there are some who ascribe it
to John Adams, while others claim
the entire flag was borrowed from the
coat of arms of the Washington
family.
in this flag tho stars were arranged
iu a circle, although no form wns offi¬
cially prescribed. It is supposed that
the first dfsplay of the national flag at
a military post was at Fort Schuyler,
ou the site of tho village of Rome,
Oneida County, N. Y. The fort was
besieged early in the month of August,
1777, and the garrison were without a
ling. So they made one according to
the prescription of Congress by cutting
up sheets to form the white stripes,
bits of scarlet cloth for (he red stripes,
and the blue ground of the stars was
composed of portions of a cloth cloak
belonging to Capt. Abraham Swarth-
out of Dutchess County, N. Y., and
the fl g was unfurled August 3, 1777,

A WISE GOOSE.
A goose over in Harrison county,
Miss., wns trying to hatch out a set¬
ting of eggs. Some of the eggs wert
prccocions, it seems, and brought fort!
the goslings a day or so in advance of
the others. And here was a dilemma.
The young birds, most naturally, hav¬
ing just escaped from the coniines oi
the shell wanted to go abroad and
look among the tall grasses nnd then
take a glance at tlie pond, but wlia;
could Mother Goose do; should she go
forth with the hatched and neglect the
coming generation of geese that were
still within the shell? What did she
do? Why she just slipped off - her nest
and took the impatient goslings to the
gander, left them in his paternal care
and returned to the eggs. Let us hope
that they hatched, and that the goslings
grew to be geese worthy of such a
mother. However, our knowledge of
the story ended before there was fur-
ther development.—[Picayune,
8EA PARROTS.
Of all the odd-looking parrots in (lie
World the puffin, or sea parrot, is ccr-
tainly the oddest. Puffins are mcm-
hers of the Auk family and live in
holes which they burrow in the edges
of sandy cliffs beside the sea.
They are white-breasted, and black.
backed, and have red and blue beaks,
and red feet'which give them a most
singular appearance when they are
flying.
All puffins are great fishers. They
bovcr ^ 0WM ab >ng the water s edge and
scoo P U P in their beaks the little fish
which swim in shore.
As fast as a puffin gets a beak full
be takes the fish lip to the sand hole,
whole the little brood is waiting.
When the puffins are not raising young
they carry their prey just the same,
from force of habit, probably, to their
neats; and there devour it.
It is a comical signt to see hundreds
of them waddling ashore wiih little
fish hanging froniThcir beaks.
As the puffin generally has bis mouth
full, he lias no time to practice sa ing
bad words, like his more civilized
brothers.—[Now York Journal.
BEAKS.
A bear is an extremely awkward
and ungainly looking creature, but
"’ ben it starts after any one it wishes
*° calcb it displays a quickness of mo¬
tion w! ich those who have been
bunted by it declare lo be amazing.
And when it wants to get beetle-grubs
out of the ground, ants out of their
homes, honey out of a bee-tree, fruit
from a slender bough, or bird’s eggs
out of a nest it shows itself to be as
smart and skillful as any other animal
that has to live by its wits. To get,
for instance, at the beetle-grub, it
scratches off the upper earth and sucks
them up out of the ground.
When it wishes to empty an an(-
hivo it knocks the top oft'with its paws,
applies its mouth to the central gallery
of the nest, draws in its breath forci¬
bly, thereby setting up such a current
°f “b 1 that all the unfortunate Ruts
and their eggs come whirling up into
its mouth like packets through a
pneumatic tube. When robbing bees
it does not get stung, and when after
wild fruit or acorns it balances itself
as cleverly on the branches of the
trees as a rope-walker balances him¬
self on a rope. Nor does it ever try
to conceal what it is about. On the
contrary, when sucking at an ant-hill
or grub-hole, it makes such a noiso
that on a still evening it can be heard
a quarter of a mile off, and when up a
tree it goes smashing among the
boughs, as though it thought bears
owned all the trees in tho worid.—
