FOB FABM AND GABDEN. 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.

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.

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.
