THE FARM AND GARDEN. WESTERING SHEEP. The question that every flockmaster should ask himself at this season is whether all his sheep will pay for win tering. If not, a little grain while there is fresh grass for the sheep to eat will help it for the butcher; but if extra feeding is postponed until only dry hay can be given, the sheep becomes costive and soon is worth nothi.ig except for its pelt, and that not very good. —Baton Cultivator. HOW TO DIVIDE YOUR HERD. A prominent authority in England on butter and cheese makin g says that the dairy farmer, no matter of what country he may be located,to be successful should divide his herd so as during the summer season to make fine cheese, and during the fall and winter to produce milk for sale in city markets, or to be made up in fine butter, as in this way the product is more equalized the year through. The same authority also advises the dairy farmer not to keep a cow that will not average a butter yield of two pounds per day when her milk is manufactured into butter. —American Dairyman. TARRED PAPER FOR ROOFING. In using larred felt for roofing the poultry-house, it is important that a coat ing of gas-tar, or some such paint, be applied as soon as the paper is put on. This is a matter frequently neglected, and the consequence is that the paper is more liable to be injured by strong winds. The gas-tar should be applied every six months until the roof is two years old. After that time it will be a thick roof, and as hard as tin, lasting for many years, and effectually keeping out cold and dampness. It only requires a little extra care for the first two years, when it can be left to do service, and it will prove to be as cheap and durable as any roof that can be made. —Farm and Fire tide. HOW AN ICEHOUSE IS MADE. To make an icehouse, there are the following requisite; First, a dry and air-tight foundation; second, air-tight walls: third, an ample thickness of some porous non-conductor, and last, a com plete circulation of air over the ice. The foundation should be in dry ground, and is best partly under ground. The walls are double and should have roofing paper between the boards of the outer wall, and a foot between, filled with dry sawdust. The roof must be tight, and tue games may be left open or have doors in them to afford thorough venti lation, by which the covering of the ice on the top is kept cool. In packing the 1 ice it will lie most closely if it is cut in y £sular blocks that will match together; by twenty-four inches is a good -ee of the blocks will lie across em when crossed. All the "ween the blocks of ice should h the dust and small frag ■ to close the cracks. —New 10GEN FOR WHEAT. ents made at the Indiana 1 the form of nitrogen best wheat, and further, if there .ay advantage in fractional applica .ons of the different forms, nitrogen was applied to every alternate plat, so that each plat that received nitrogen was com pared with a plat on each side of it that received no nitrogen. The plats were forty-nine feet four inches by four feet. In all the same amount of nitrogen was applied to each plat receiving nitrogen. On certain plats the nitrogen was all applied in the fall, on others one-half was applied in the fall and one-half at the opening of spring, and on others one-third in the fall, one-third April 15 and one-third May 18, when the heads were just appearing. The results showed thatjm no c°se was any marked advan tage derived frocj fractional applications, while in the case of the ammonia com pounds a decided advantage arose from making the full application in the fall. Nitrate of soda gave a gain of 98.4 per cent, of grain and 1Q&.5 per cent, of straw. Sulphate of ammonia gave a gain of 64.6 per cent, of grain and 73.8 per cent, of straw, while dried blood gave a gain of 54.4 per cent. 9f grain and 6.60 per cent, of straw. From the fact that the applications of nitrate in one lot in the fall gave as good results as those in three fractions, it is inferred that there is really not so much danger of loss of nitrates as many authorities would lead us to believe. —New York World. A SYMPOSIUM ON DEHORNING. The Orange County Farmer has*made up a symposium of notes about the effects of dehorning cows. A writer in the Jer tey Bulletin is fully persuaded that a mooley bull can kill a man as easily as a horned one, the only advantage in his favor being that he will not so badly disfigure the corpse. Does he think the Spaniards would enjoy a bull fight with the horns sawed off? That the mooley bull or cow can hit a hard blow with their heads is true, but as to being dan gerous when any reasonable amount of caution is used, we cannot see it. Again, an English authority says the highest English courts have unanimously de clared dehorning to be cruel and illegal. The Scotch judges affirm that no cruelty need be involved. Again, a Connec ticut farmer while crossing a pasture went out of his way to pat a “gentle” bull as had been his amiable but indiscreet cus tom. He was charged upon by the treacherous beast and only rescued from a horrible death by the timely arrival of muscular neighbors who happened to witness the danger. We remember old Mr. Philip Swigert tried this with his fine Jersey bull that knocked him,down, put his horns on each side of his body and pushed him down the hill, the grass being nicely frosted. When both of them reached a large log Mr. Swigert thonght his time had come, but he whipped out a vge pocket knife and cut the bull’s mat. Waldo F. Brown romarto that he is 1 of the opinion that in ten years from now, or perhaps less, a herd of cattle with horns will be as hard to find as a herd of mooleys has been in the past. The practice of dehorning is growing in favor, and he has yet to find the man who has dehorned a herd who is not pleased with the results, and Mr. Brown might have added further that such a man is not only pleased, but continues to practice it. From the New York Tribune still an. other item is taken to the effect that hav ing referred to the peacefulness and sociability of polled cattle he says: But put one horned cow into the pasture with the polls and she spoils it all. If she sees the polls enjoying mutual protection she will scatter their phalanx, if to do it she has to go across a fifty-acre field with the thermometer at 100 degrees, Fahren heit. Could anyone ask better argu ments in favor of taking off the horns. EXPERIMENTS WITH FERTILIZERS. Farmers in the older States are spend ing millions of dollars annnally for com mercial fertilizers. In this country, as in Europe, they have become an absolute necessity on worn-out soils; but to make them profitable it is necessary that they should fit the wants of the soil and crops for which they are used. If a farmer buys potash for land which abounds in potash but needs phosphoric acid, he of course losses. The fundamental princi ple in the use of commercial fertilizers is to select those materials which supply in the best forms and at the lowest cost the plant food which the crop needs and the soil fails to furnish. In order to enable farmers to find out the wants of their own soils and the best way of supplying them, and at the same time to get light upon the properties of soils in different sections of the country, a number of experiment stations are in troducing soil tests with fertilizers, which are largely conducted both by the stations and also by individual farmers on their own farms. Of course many of the experiments are failures, but many practical men who have engaged in this work have declared that they have thus learned a great deal which is practically useful and highly instructive. The results o' this? tests in general show that “soils vary greatly in their capabilities of supplying food to crops. Different ingredients are deScient in different soils. The best way to learn what materials are proper in any given case is by observation and experiment. The rational method for determining what ingredients of plant food a soil fails to furnish in abundance, and how these un furnished materials can be most economi cally supplied, is to put the question to the soil with different fertilizing mate rials, and get the reply in the crops pro duced. The chief use of fertilizers is to supply plant food. It is good farming to make the most of the natural resources of the soil and of the manures produced on the farm, and to depend upon ar tificial only to furnish what more is needed. It is not good economy to pay high prices for materials which the soil itself may yield, but it is good economy to supply the lacking ones in the cheapest way.” Probably the most valuable practical work that these experiment stations have done has been to analyze these various commercial fertilizers which are offered for sale by manufacturers. In some of the States, in New Jersey, for instance, the fertilizers are analyzed, and the qualities of chemicals found m each sample compared with What the manu facturer claimed that the composition contained. So as to make this perfectly plain, the money value of the chemicals found in each sample is noted, and com pared with the price charged by the manufacturer. Some startling results have been shown. One fertilizer selling, say, at $25 per ton would be found to have a value of $23; another, selling at S4O a ton, would be found to be worth only sls; and in one instance I recall the manufacturer charged $43 a ton for his complete fertilizer, and the chemist found that its actual value was only $2.50. Bulletins like these have cer tainly done great good, for they have warned farmers from buying inferior chemicals, and they have compelled man ufacturers to keep their compositions up to the advertised standard. When there is more universal education amonfr the farmers it wiii only be necessary to ex press the values of fertilizers in chemi cal terms. We have the authority of the United States*Agricultural Depart ment 1 for the statment that in the States where experiment stations have, long been established the greater number of the farmers now need nothing more than these chemical terms to guide them in selecting the special fertilizers needed in given cases.— Harper's Weekly. * FARM AND GARDEN NOTES, % Keep enough fowls to buy the groceries. A yearling grapevine is best for set ting, as a rule. A good hen will lay twice her weight in eggs a year. Corn and cornmeal are the best fatten ing foods for fowls. Barley and wheat fed alternately make a good egg-producing ration, When grain is fed to poultry throw on a litter and partly cover it up. Close to large cities broilers briog in more money than anything else. On the farm, at least, the medium sized poultry breeds are the best. A cooked mixture of the table scraps make a good morning ration for the fowls. Popular gardening commends for low spots the common elder as a summer bloomer. Geese are not only valuable as meat producers but should annually produce a pound of feathers each. Too much salt or salty food at one time often proves injurious to poultry; a small quantity is beneficial. Meteor, the new hybrid tea rose, has the dark crimson color of the Jacque minot. The flower is fragrant and premises to become popular. Feed and Fed.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That Contain Mercury, As mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole sys tem when entering it through the mucous sur faces. Such articles should never be used ex cept on prescriptions from reputable physi cians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them.

A half-pint of large hominy is sulficiea t fOr a family of average size. It swells to four times its original bulk. Put it on the fire in plenty of cold water as soon after breakfast as possible, in order to allow it plenty of time to become thoroughly cooked before dinner. When the water dries out, add more, but let it be hot. Four hours at least are required for the grains to become thoroughly softened and done, when it is a most wholesome and palatable article of food. When ready to be dished for dinner, add a teaspoonful of butter, and mix it in thoroughly. A FONDU OF EOOS. A fondu is a preparation of eggs,- chcese and butter. Parmesan cheese is very often used in a fondu, but any good cheese will do. Grate two ounces of cheese into a cooking pan, add half a teaspoonful of salt and a pinch of cayenne; mix in a quarter-pound of butter into the melted cheese, add the beaten yolks of six eggs and stir thor oughly. Beat the whites of six eggs to a froth and add carefully to the other in gredients. Pour the mixture into little porcelain-lined patty-pans and bake the fondus in a moderate oven for fifteen minutes and serve very hot. —New York Tribune. A NICE MINCE LOAF. Avery nice mince loaf is made as fol lowsj To the pieces cut from a stewed knuckle-bone of veal or mutton add a small cooked slice of bacon and a small onion which has been sliced and fried brown in half a teaspoonful of butter. Chop very fine, season with a quarter of a teaspoonful of pepper. Break in an egg and mix lightly into a loaf. If the bacon has not seasoned it sufficiently add half a teaspoonful of salt. Have a small baking dish buttered. Then take a cupful of cold boiled rice or hominy and line the dish thinly, bot tom and sides. Put in a layer of the meat and another of rice without butter. Put over the top a layer of fine bread crumbs,lay the bits of butter evenly over them and bake in a moderate oven for half an hour. It should be brown and crisp. When cold, slice this and serve for luncheon in a dish trimmed with parsley. Good beef, mutton or pork dripping will often effectually take the place of butter, with even more savory results. —New York World. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Wash marble with ammonia and water. Never leave vegetables in the wate after they are cooked. Beeswax and salt will render rustyi flat-irons smooth and clean. Ripe tomatoes will remove ink stains from white cloth and lrom the bauds. If sassafras bark is sprinkled among dried fruit it will keep out the worms. * A bowl of quicklime kept in a cup board will soon absorb the moisture, if their be any. Washing old silk in beer is said to give it a luster almost equal to that pos sessed when new. Catsup keeps better and pickles also if you put a bit of horseradish in the mouth of the bottle. Kerosene will soften boots and shoes that have become hard from bing wet, and render them as pliable as ever. Twelve pounds of peaches, six pounds of sugar and one pint of vinegar is a good proportion for pickled peaches. A perfume lamp, which burns cologne and spreads a pleasant scent about the room, is among the late household nov elties. To remove ink stains from wood, use strong muriatic acid, rubbed in with a cloth; afterward washj off well with water. In boiling meat for soup U3e cold water to extract the juices, but if the meat is wanted for itself alone put into boiling water. When washing fine white flannels add a tablespoonful of pulverized borax to a pailful of water. This will keep then soft and white. A pound of sulphur burnt in a tightly closed room will destroy every living thing in it, from moths and bed bugs to possible disease germs. When decorating rooms for reception use one kind of flowers for each room, as roses for one, carnations for another, violets in another, etc. If doughnuts are cut out an hour be fore they are fried, to allow a little time for rising, they will be much lighter. Try cutting at night and frying in the morning. If the hands are rubbed on a stick ol celery after peeling onions the smell will be entirely removed. Onions may be peeled under water without offense to eyes or hands. The leaves of the peach tree, a few at a time, put into the boiling milk of a custard or blancmange and removed be fore it cools into shape give a delicate almond flavor. The flavor of a young-roasted chicken is grei.tly improved if you place inside it a piece of fresh butter the size of a walnut and with it a bouquet of parsley and a small onion. Aged people, invalids or those who have feeble digestion or suffer from dull ness, as well as growing children, will be greatly benefited by taking sweet cream in liberal quantities. To cure a felon, wind a cloth loosely about the finger, leaving the end free. Pour in common gunpowder until the affected part is entirely covered; then keep the powder wet with strong spirits of camphor. • Steaming the face atrnight over a bowl of very hot water, and then bathing it with very cold water, is the simple method of giving it a Russian bath and will tend to make the skin whiter and smoother and the fleshi firmer. if CatarHVoi Queer Ads and Signs.

That means impure blood, to begin with, and all kinds of ailments in the end. But you can stop them in advance. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov ery invigorates the liver, purifies and enriches the blood, and rouses every organ into healthy action. It pre vents and cures all diseases arising from a torpid liver or from impure blood. Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Bil iousness, Scrofulous, Skin and Scalp Diseases even Consumption (or Lung-scrofula), in its earlier stages, all yield to it. The makers of the “Discovery” claim for it only what it will do. They guarantee that it will do it. If it fails to benefit or cure, in any case, they’ll return the money. Nothing else that claims to purify the blood is sold in this way; which proves, no matter what dealers may offer, that nothing else can he “just as good.” Therefore, don’t accept a substitute.
