AVOID SCRUB STOCK. the season for breeding, farmers arrange to improve their live of ail kinds so far as possible by the best sires and dams obtain- le. Better purchase or pay extra for the services of superior ani- als than to breed from scrubs. Al- to the equine race, a rec.’ni iter declares that too much cannot t said against scrub stock. The rime for its breeding does not rest 'holly upon the shoulders of those ho keep or patronize scrub stallions, goed deal rests upon those who •ced scrub mares. The dam is as important a factor as sire, and too much care cannot be xc -ised in the selection of brood The farmer who breeds from e breken-down mare simply because wol 'tfi es8 for work not only lakes a mistake, but aims a blow* at breeding industry of the country.

They are e Mediums 1 through which are expeii- waste materials of the blood, such ** carbonic acid gas, water, etc., which suffei-ed to remain in the system be- c °me active poisons. The skin naturally does about as much of this work as the lungs. If the former is not kept clean and its pores become obstructed, upon the lungs devolves so much more of the labor to perform a6 the skin fails to do; and if the lungs are overworked the animal loses a portion of his power, sliced and endurance. When a good portion of the pores of the skin are ctosed, as in a coM or fever, or from filth, the breath is overladen with moisture, plainly proving that the lungs are doing double work; and when the lungs are partly decayed, as in persons having pulmonary consump¬ tion and accompanying night sweats, the skin is then doing double labor as the profuse perspiration indicates. , 'l hese facts 6how the intimate rcla- tion existing between the skin and the lungs, and evince the necessity, for the good of the animal, that the skin be kept clean, and thus preserve a health¬ ful equilibrium of action between these two important features of the animal economy. An animal with a dirty hide cannot be at bis best. Cleansing the skin is strengthening the lungs.—[Na¬ tional Stockman. FERTILIZING. In the newer states it has been the fashion to sneer at fertilizers of every description. But if this is kept up too long the laugh is with the other fel¬ low. It is only a question of time when any soil needs replenishing. The hotter plan is to make a study of your soil, find out in what elements it is lacking, then make a careful ex¬ amination of the accessible fertilizers, and ascertain what is best adapted to meet the want in your case. For most farmers this can better be done by em¬ ploying some expert or by consulting the official and certified analyses made by state authority. Where practicable, it is always de¬ sirable—other things being equal—to keep some live stock. Those who have attended our farmers’ conven¬ tions and Institutes have heard this side of the question fully presented, and probably nine out of ten farmers are convinced that for the sake of the manure as well as for other sound economic reasons, it is desirable to keep live stock of some kind. But there are sections of the country where this is impracticable. There are, also, crops, including fruit cul¬ ture, where a close study of the con¬ stituents of the soil and of the adapta¬ tion of a fertilizer are requisite, and where the proper commercial fertilizer i6 absolutely essential. For this rea¬ son we are glad to direct our readers to reliable fertilizer companies, such as are advertising in our columns. They would put forth no analysis tha was not trustworthy. The men connected with and man¬ aging these fertilizer companies are above and beyond any deception or frauds. Their highest interest lies in producing a good fertilizer and in honestly stating its constituent parts. They employ capable chemists and can advise those who need the informa¬ tion. what particular soils and partic¬ ular crops need. These companies are not like the doctor who was ‘‘death on fits,” and so proceeded to produce fits in his patients first, in order that he might apply his remedy for fits. The fertilizers are made with different proportions of this and that element with a view to meet the needs of cer¬ tain soils and specific crops. As illustrating this in horticulture, we have just seen an item to the effect that English rose growers are using blood manure for their vines with much success, it is said. They tako sixteen pounds of blood, and as soon as it begins lo putrify pour into it four ounces of muriatic acid and four ounces of proto-sulpbate of iron, pre- viously mixed, which turns the blood into a dark, dry powder, that will keep for any length of time. A half pound of this is mixed with the 6oil over the roots of each rose bush.— [Farm, Field and Stockman. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. The milk of the Ayrthire is pre¬ eminently suited for cheese making. About two and a half bushels of oats sown per acre have averaged the largest crops. Manure is the farmer’s working cap- It _ be we. to . let , . «y at , ital. caunot it go to waste. Raising the standard ot cheese and batter makers is of vital importance to both dairv and factory. Insect Enemies to Plants. When these are present on leaves and shoots plants cannot flourish, because their juices It is in are extracted better by the inva- dors. every ' way to sponge the lcaves of P lants or fringe them fre¬ quently, for preventing insects gaining a foothold, than to permit them to do so. and then have recourse to strong appli- cations for their extirpation. When PlaD ‘ 8 destroyed m " 8t are or not; yet it is necessary to destroy them for reducing the injury to a minimun, as well as for averting further damage. When insects cannot be driven from plants by cold water forcibly applied, it is a good plan to try some as hot as the hand can be borne in for a moment or two. A few experiments will show that the plants will endure it hotter than the insects can. Still, care must be taken a to scald the leaves, A trial or two with soon enable a person to act safely. An ounce or two of soft soap dissolved in a gallon of water will make it more effect¬ ual as an insecticide, aud if applied quite as hot as the hands could be washed in it will neither scald the leaves nor stain them, but will destroy most insects that receive a drenching. The greatest of all mistakes that can bo made, and one which is made in thousands of instances every year, is tp wait till insects are nu¬ merous before taking action against them. A few may be conquered easily; a clustering shield crowd eucli is difficult to destroy, as they other. Fire-Extinguishing Compounds. Chemical fire-extinguishers are of va¬ rious sizes and kinds, but all mainly de¬ pend on the rapid production of carbonic acid gas, which is an enemy to all kinds of combustion. Water is capable of ab¬ sorbing large quantities of carbonic acid. When the gas is generated its expansion fluid acts as a propelling power, aud the being forced into the flames, the gas in solution is liberated by the evaporation of the water containing it. Glass bottles containing the materials may be hung up in convenient places in factories or dwell¬ ing-houses. The following, or a similar mixture, is used for filling these bottles or hand-grenades; as they are called: Twenty pounds of common salt, ten pounds of salammoniac, and seven gal¬ lons of water. A cheap and efficient sub¬ stitute for the hand grenades can, it is af¬ firmed, be made by tilling ordinary quart bottles with a saturated solution of com¬ mon salt. The salt forms a coating on everything the water touches, and makes it nearly incombustible. Hardy shrubs and flowers should be se¬ lected with a view of having a supply of flowers from spring until autumn. As some flowers bloom early and others late, selections of varieties best suited to the soil and for each month will assist in or¬ nament the garden until frost appears. Fine hands Are now in demand and persons having such lands for sale will consult their best interest by writing to Joe S. Nix, Atlanta, Ga., who makes a specialty of the sale of improved steam engines, saw mills, cotton gins and other machinery, and also of the purchase of timber lands for persons who desire to engage in saw¬ milling. ___ _ Asking a man to drink in Boston is no longer a "standing offer.” "This is a hard set,” as the hen said when she was trying to hatch a porcelain egg.

A highly respectable and usually prompt citizen, who had been summoned to serve upon the jury, depended upon a cheap watch, and arrived twenty minutes late. The Judge promptly fined him $50, indicating that in this age of tine watches at reasonable prices, his excuse was not sufficient to relieve him of the tine.
