According to the poultry editor of the farm Journal, the feed necessary for 100 hens for a year is as follows:— 1000 pounds clover hay chopped, 1000 pounds potatoes, 2000 pounds corn meal, 1000 pounds oats, 100 pounds cotton seed meal, 800 pounds barley meal. Supposing these amounts to be nearly correct, as we presume they are, the cost of the article will be about 70 per cent., or 70 cents per hen. Any respectable hen ought to lay eggs enough in the course of a year to bring $1.50, or more than double the cost of her keeping. If this figuring is correct the poultry business ought to pay better than most branches of farm ng. MIXING OF MELONS AND CUCUMBERS. When cucumbers are planted near melons and both are in bloom at the same time, the different plants are apt to become mixed to some extent by the visits of bees, which carry pollen from one to the other. To some extent the effect of the mixture is apparent the same year in the fruit, but the next year it is much more so when the cross¬ bred plants are produced from the seed. This first year’s mixturo is* however, rare, and has only occurred with the writer once in several years’ experience. It is safest to procure fresh seed every year for small gardens in which related plants are necessarily grown close to «ach other.— N. T. Times. PLANTING AND CULTIVATING CORN. As soon ai the weather has become settled and the ground is warm and dry, corn should be planted. Early planting, generally speaking, gives the best results. When the weather and soil will permit farmers ought to be ready to drop their seed. The ground must be rich and friable to produce paying yields of corn. Where ploughing is to be done the ploughs should be started as scon as the soil is dry enough to admit of it. Planting corn in drills is now the common practice. Flat culture is in order except on low lands, where culti¬ vation in hills is still practised. For targe growing varieties of corn rhe rule is drills from lour to five feet apart, while for small corn a distance of three feet is suffic.cnt. The plants are thinned to from three feet to 18 inches in the drill according as the variety may sug- sest. The seed should not be covered too deep; two inches are quite sufficient and more than enough in mellow ground. The use of the roller utter the seed has been drilled in is very gener¬ ally practised by progressive farmers. HIVING BEES AUTOMATICALLY. The hiving of bees automatically has been tried for years with not very grat- ifying results; and many claim to make them cluster just where they want them to; but let me charm ever so wisely, says a writer it the Prairie Farm¬ er ; I always fail to get them to do it. They told me plainly that they would cluster just where they pleased. This new fad is made by placing a drone and queen-trap in front of the hive in such a way lhat the worker bees can pass in and out of the hive, but the drone and queen cannot. 8o that when the queen comes out, she cannot follow but re¬ mains in the cage, and as soon as the bees miss her, will return. The automatic hiving is done in this way: To this drone and queen-trap is attached a passage- way of perforated zinc, which lends to another trap at¬ tached to an empty hive alongside of it. When the queen comes out she cannot get through, and goes along the passage-way into the empty hive, and as soon as the swarm miss her, return, and hunting her, find her in the other hive. As soon as a bee finds her it communicates with the rest of the swarm and they soon follow. GRUB IN THE NOSE OF SHEEP. A subscriber from Ohio asks: “What is the matter with our sheep? A num¬ ber of the flock huddle together with their heads turned inward and close to the ground. They are restless, fre¬ quently sneeze, and paw the ground up, into which they thrust their noses re¬ peatedly, as though annoyed by flies.” This trouble is caused by the sheep gad-fly (Eitris ovis, which is persever- ingly attempting to deposit its eggs in the nose of the sheep, where the warmth and moisture of the mucous membrane soon hatches them, and where they as- cend the nasal sinuses to remain till the warm days of the following spring, when they drop upon the ground, in which their larval life is soon changed to the chrysalis and perfect insect. In thi3 state their sole and immediate occupation is reproduction, and per- petuation of their species, without feeding; this atcomplished, they die. In the whole course of their parasitic life they annoy the ?*icep; but, prob¬ ably more about the tims of their descent from the nose. Their presence aggravates colds, which affect sheep more or less during the inclement weather of the fall, winter and spring. Whatever the annoyance of sheep, their fleeces suffer in proportion to its extent; like the disturbance of milch cows by flics, when the yield of milk is proportionately decreased, The simplest remedy against the grub is a trough of pulverized salt and dust placed in the sheep pasture. Several places spaded up, with a full supply of salt, answer equally well, Coal tar daubed upon the noses is a preventive. It may be freely poured over the dug- up earth and salt, and the sheep will besmear their own noses. If required, by the severity of the annoyance, an injection of an ounce of salt and an equal quantity of coal tar dissolved in a quart of water and thrown up the sheep’s nose every night for a few days, will complete the remedy, Tobacco- smoke, tobacco-decoction, snuff, or other narcotics are too dangerous. Sheep are very susceptible to nar¬ cotics, which renders their use hazard¬ ous. —American Agriculturist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Prune trees early for growth and late for fruit. All foods for plants must be soluble to be available. Dig no trenches around your trees, if you do not want to shorten the roots. The shelter that shuts out both pure and cold air is not & profitable struc¬ ture. Do your shortening back among your young trees before the buds begin to start. There should always be plenty of clean drinking water in the poultry yard. Prune a little at a time aud avoid the necessity for heavy pruning in the future. Bone meal mixed with other food is a valuable preventive of leg weakness ia young fowls. Kind but firm treatment is impera¬ tively demanded in the training of all young animals. Farmers’ clubs can be made profitable m the practical experience each of the members can give. Remember that with the warm weather come lice, and give good care to prevent them on the sitting hens. The Pekin is probably the most popular duck for the farm, being hardy, easy to raise aud of a nice size and appearance for marketing. The question of cleanliness and good ventilation of horse and cow stables is all-important to owners of stock. Pure air is the cheapest medicine anyone can take, or furnish for his animals. A farmer’s daughter advises women about to begin turkey raising to start with good stock, and names the pure bronze as landsome, salable, thrifty and easier to manage than the common turkey. Food for horses and cattle should be of the best quality and kept free from dust, moistuie and vermin. A very common error in stable management is not properly preventing mice and rats from gaining access to the granary, as well-bred animals will often refuse a meal of grain that has been run over and soiled by the pests. All stone fruits are difficult to graft. As the cherry buds swell very early, the scions should be cut semi time before. It is a slow process, forming a junction of the new scion with the old wood, and if the bud is swollen almost into leaf before the graft is inserted, there will be too much evaporation before sap can be supplied from thn new stock.

The Necessity of a (iracefiii Bearing. » How few women know how to stand up erect and yet to preserve the slenderness of their figures and the graceful cent ours. This is one of the most important of so¬ cial arts. By standing well is meant the throwing upward and forward of the chest, flattening the back, and keeping the shoulder-blades in their proper places. Women should be “set up,” just as cadets are at West Point or Annapolis. No wo¬ men in the world carry themselves so well as the English women and girls of high birth. This “setting up” drill is gone through by them from their earliest child¬ hood, and much of their stately beauty is due to the care their mothers take in this respect. A great deal of our English girls' beauty lies in their proud car¬ fig¬ riage, the delicate erectness of their ures, and the dainty poise of the head. This aristocratic bearing and carriage is within reach of any girl, if she will but believe it, ami take the pains to have it. It is but the question of constant watch¬ fulness on the part of the mother and the girl herself. Whether sitting or standing she must alw ays preserve the graceful erect positiou. This system of training is also of great good. It preserves the perfection of the figure, because the mus¬ cles arc always firm aud well strung, and prevents the flesh from*sinking down the waist and hips, which is so common among women who permit a slouchy manner, and which is so easily avoided. Another habit women should avoid. In going up stairs they bend forward and contract the chest. This induces round shoulders, besides spoiling the figure and doing great injury to the heart and lungs. There are so many little things, which, if women would but consider, will preserve their beauty a decade longer than it now' lasts. A poet asks: “What is warmer than a woman’s love?” We infer that he never picked up a newly-coined horse-shoe fresh from the forge.
