Care of Wood Ashes.
Wood ashes are au excellent manure
for most soils. Even when analysis
ahowB potash to be present, the wood
ash is helpful, since it contains more or
less phosphate, and its potash is in a
form to liberate plant food in the soil
that would otherwise be unavailable.
There is no bettor solvent for reverted
phosphate, and the drilling of wood
ashes with phosphate for grain crops
makes the fertilizer much more efficient
than it would otherwise be. But a good
deal of care is needed to save wood
ashes without endangering other prop¬
erty from fires. It is not the presence
of live coals that cause this danger usu¬
ally. These are generally pretty well
guarded against. The great danger is
fiorn apontaneou* combustion in ashos
that have gathered dampness, and
whose potash has by absorption of nitro¬
gen been changed to saltpetre. This
in contact with wool, woolen rags or
any oily substance wiil generate fire.
Ashes should, therefore, never be left
in wooden recoptacles. Old barrels, so
often used for this purpose, aro most
dangerous of all. It doe* not cost much
to build a stone or brick ashbousc,
and using it also for a smokehouse
avoids two of the most common sources
of destructive fires among farm build¬
ings.—[American Cultivator.
Remedy For “Bloat” In Cattle.
When cattle ore first turned into a
fresh pasture where tho herbage is very
succulent and abundant, they are veiy
likely to gorge themselves, produciug
what is called “hoves” or “bloat.”
The paunch is rapidly fillod with the
soft, green food, and as soon as it be¬
comes moist and heated it begins to
ferment, and the carbonic acid gas gen¬
erated distends the stomach, often
bursting its walls, unless the animal is
soon relieved by articial moans. When
cattle are changed from a close-cropped
pasture into one where the herbage is
plontiful, they should be allowed to
teed for an hour or two at a time, and
novor at all early in tho morning while
the dew is on, for wet grass or clover is
far more likely to produce bloat than
when only the natural juices of the
plants are present. The cause of bloat
in a cow is due to the fact that she
gorges herself with tho succulent leaves
of the Knffir corn or sorghum, as it is
only a variety of tho latter plant. You
should wait until the dew has dried off
in tho morning before turning the cow
into the field; then leave her there only
an hour or two in tho forenoon and
about the same length of time in the
afternoon. After a few weeks she will
become accustomed to the food and
only eat a moderate quantity at a time,
and she may then bo left in the field all
day, if more convenient than to remove
her as at first. Cattle should also have
3alt more frequently when feeding on
succulent food than when on that which
is moderately dry.—[N. Y. Sun.
Care of Bees In Winter.
There are various methods of pre¬
paring bees for winter so that no sub¬
sequent care is needed. One is to place
the hives above the snow lines, packing
them in chaff, leaves, sawdust or fine
hay with a rim two inchos wide under
each hive. When prepared in this man¬
ner the entrance cannot be clogged by
snow or dead bees. Should a warm
day occur, the bees can enjoy a flight.
Another method is to bury the bees in a
pit or “damp,” where, of course, no
attention can he given. Bees stored in
a properly arranged cellar or repository
requiro no attention except to see that
they aro undisturbed by rats or mice,
and that tho temperature and ventila¬
tion are correct. An effective way of
getting rid of mice or rats
in a cellar is to poison them with equal
parts of arsenic, flour and sugar.
The temperature should be kept at
about 45 degrees during the early part
of the winter. After tho bees have
commenced brood-rearing, say in Feb¬
ruary, a higher temperature is bene¬
ficial, and it may be gradually raised to
about 55 degrees. Authorities differ in
regard to ventilation; but pure air ia
the cellar can do no harm, and there
is no better method of supplying it than
through tiles laid below the frost line.
An abundance of stores should be left
in the hive, as it would probably be
better to allow a few colonies to starve
than to disturb all the hives by exam
iniag them to learn if any needed feed¬
ing. Should it be discovered, however,
that a colony is short of stores, and
there are no combs of honey to give
it, candy made of granulated sugar may
be fed.
Hivas^ as usually prepared for winter,
are often partially buried in anow. This
does no harm, bnt may ho beneficial,
until a warm day comes and the bees
wish to fly, when the snow must be
shoveled away from the entrance, or
the cover removed, and tho bees be al¬
lowed to take their “purifying flight’’
from tho top of the hive. Hives stand¬
ing in the open air should be protected
against the intrusion of mice. Have
tho entrance only one-fourth of an inch
high and protected with tin. Skunks
sometimes scratch at tho entrance of a
hive; the bees come out to learn the
cause of the disturbance, and are
caught. A box-trap set for the skunk
is the best preventive. The animal
never discharges its weapon while in a
box- trap.
When bees are luried in a pit, a
sandy hill-side should bo selected as the
site, and a tile drain put undornoath.
When these precautions have been neg¬
lected care should bo taken that no
water stands upon the surface around
tho pit,—[American Agriculturist.
Dogs on the Farm.
There is a groat daal to be said for
and against tho farmers’ dogs. In tho
first place the common, ordinary cur is
a nuisance, not only about the house,
but more particularly among stock.
With no instinctive love for sheep or
cattle, he must bo trained to keep him
from doing absolute damage. Any¬
thing which will run will afford a
young dog amusement, and when he
has once tasted the joys of chasing a
flock of sheep or cattle he will lose no
chance to amu30 himself at tho expense
of the farmer’s stock, and if ho carries
his pleasure so far as to get a taste of
mutton it will require an excellent
hand to break him of his fault, a mero
reprimand or even a sound thrashing
does no good towards curing tho evil
habit. On the contrary, it arouses tho
dog’s cunning and sharpens his wits to
such an extent that ho will become so
sly in Ms work, that he will almost defy
the master.
But with such dogs as the Scotch
collie tho farmer runs little risk in
raising a sheep-killer or a dog that will
delight in tho vulgar pastime of chasing
cattle. These dogs have been brod
with great care for many generations,
and have been so accustomed to sheep
and cattle that thoir love for the herd
and flock ha3 become one of their most
pronounced instincts. As puppies they
like to scamper after hens, or perhaps
follow a runniug flock of sheep, but
there is such an absence of viciousnoss
in their nature that the flock soon come
to regard them as inoffensivo neighbors.
Indeed, a flock of sheep aro easily ac¬
customed to a sheep dog, and soon come
to enjoy its society.
Those dogs are easily trained, and
when associated with tho herd or flock
the knowledge they acquire of their
ways i3 remarkable, and the ingonuity
they show in their methods is an evi¬
dence of their wonderful sagacity.
Some striking examples of thoir in¬
telligence have been recorded, and of
these none aro more remarkable than
those which refer to their self-taught
acts. They have a real genius, and in
the performance of their duties they are
constantly picking up bits of informa¬
tion, and they develop in time such e
degree of knowledge that it is scarcely
necessary to order them to do a given
piece of work. They take in the situ¬
ation themselves, and at once set about
doing that which they think should be
done.
If farmers want a useful, sagacious,
handsome dog they cannot do better
than provide themselves with a Scotch
collie. Besides being a nice, practical
dog among cattle he is a good animal
about the house. Cheerful, fond of
children, and not given to straying
away from homo and annoying his
neighbors.—fChicago Times.

A Scratch Call.
The people of Ashley, a suburb of
VVitkesbarre, Pa., had a little social sen¬
sation. Fifteen years ago John Lamb, a
master mechanic, in the employ of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad, married Miss
Mary Crogan, daughter of Railroad Su¬
perintendent Crogan. The nuptial event
was the talk of the town at the time. A
special train from Philadelphia brought
many invited guests, Mr. Lamb ac
cepted a position under one of the rail¬
road. companies with headquarters at St.
Louis, but he did not remain long, Af¬
ter being married only six months, an
estrangement sprang up between the
young married couple, and the wife re¬
turned to her home in Ashley. Lamb
left St. Louis aud wandered through the
Western territory, His wife heard
nothing definite about him until about
two years after they were married, when
her brother-in-law sent her a clipping
from a Western paper giving husband. an account John
of the drowning of her
Adams, however, who has a big mining
store, proposed marriage. Mrs. Lamb
consulted her immediate relations, and,
having no doubt but that her husband
was dead, consented.. "the All arrangements
bad been made, and wedding trous
seau was delivered to the prospective
bride's home. The lady was in the act
of examining her dresses with the aid of
the dressmaker, when a knock came to
the door. It was opened and there stood
the long lost husband. Man and wife
had a long interview, and as a result, re¬
conciliation followed. Adams was re¬
luctant to give up his betrothed, and a
minister had to be called to make an
amicable arrangement.

Qoron, the head of Tar
Department. This officer has been lately
looking for the chief accountant of the
“Cafusse Band," a fellow named Victor
Chevalier, and, going the other day into
the rooms of a notorious receiver of
stolen goods in Paris, he heard himself
addressed in harsh tones as “Good old
Victor! there you are!” This was enough
for the detective, who having loquacious Bilently
satisfied himself that the
bird was the property of the man for
whom ho waB lookiug, proceeded indications to
search the receiver’s den for
of a more substantial character. After a
long and minute investigation of the
premises, he found a letter from Victor
to the receiver, in which epistle the
robber announced that he was in Angers
under the name of Felix Crozer. M.
Goron immediately set out for that town
and arrested the owner of tho too valu¬
able parrot in the railway station.
