Good Feed for Breeding Ewes.
The prejudice against too high feed
ing of breeding animais of any kind is
in this country chiefly due to the fa t
that we feed so largely on corn. That is
not good food for cows, which if at al!
well bred are naturally disposed to lay on
fat. But it is no reason why other breed
ing stock should not be reasonably well
fed so as at least to be in good order
when their young are born. We are
very glad to see that J. 8. Woodward,
Secretary of the New York Agricultural
Society, recommends high feeding for
breeding ewes. He does not feed largely
on corn, but gives enough grain to veep
the ewes in high condition. A sheep
does not naturally take to fat as a hog
does, and only by having the ewes in
good order can their lambs be brought to
the right condition for early marketing.

Swamp Hay For Heaves.
A Masachusetts correspondent of Farm
Life repoits an experience with a horse
seventeen years old in 1830 and atilicted
with heaves, which has nevertheless
done hard work every season since as the
result of the course of feeding described
as follows:
“Having learned that swamp hay or
hog grass, on account of not being so
dusty, was better for a lieavey horse than
upland hay, 1 determined to feed him
swamp hay with grain enough to make
the quality e jiial to that of upland hay.
.... He is apparently a better horse to
day than when I bought him eight years
ago. His food has been dry meal or
‘feed,’ (corn and oats ground together)
and swamp hay all the time, except in
in the winter of 188(1, for a while when
having plenty ot good hay for my sheep
and not quite so much swamp hay as I
wanted for mulching my fruit, 1 gave
him upland hay. Soon the horse began
to cough and exhibit other symptoms of
heaves, and although I tried many re
medies he got no relief so long as he was
fed the upland hay. Last fall I again
put him on the swamp hay ration. I
give him all he wants to eat of it with
ground corn and oats enough to keep him
in good condition. I have not heaid
him cougli for several months and he
now shows no sign of heaves. Whether
it is the swamp hay itself, or some herb
contained in it, such as boneset or
thoroughwort, that benefits him, 1 do
not know; but that he has been greatly
helped either by the swamp hay or the
swamp weeds, I am positive.”
How to Treat and Feed Calves.
A New York farmer says in the World:
“Let the calf run with the cow till the
milk is fit to use. A new born calf is j
weak like a baby; its stomach is not j
strong enough to digest a quart or two j
of milk that is drunk quickly or poured
down its throat only twice a day, and it
is cruel to compel it to do so. It needs
to suck a little at a time and often. Be- j
sides it learns to drink much easier after
it has grown strong by running with its |
mother two or three days. By all means j
use a calf feeder, which makes a calf j
suck the milk in a natural manner. Try
this once and your calves will do so much
better that you will never laise another
without the feeder. After it learns to I
suck the feeder which will not be long, I
it can be taught to first drink a part of :
its mess and then suck the rest, and so
weaned from the feeder gradually. I
Finally, don’t be so cruel as to feed a
calf only twice a day for the first few
weeks.
“In teaching a calf to drink it is gen
erally necessary to let it suck your linger
while holding its mouth in the milk.
Strange to say, there are even now farm
ers that don’t know this, but will let the
poor thing go hungry till it will either
drink or has to be killed.
“An excellent calf-feeder is made by
boring a one half-inch hole through the
side of a wooden pail just above the bot
tom and directly under one of the ears.
Then take a piece of nursing bottle ;
tubing three or four inches long (a short j
piece can be got of any druggist) and a i
strip of heavy sheeting about five inches
wide and a foot or two long, with a wide
hem or fold on one edge, and roll up the
tube snugly in the cloth till it makes a
roll large enough to fit rather tightly in
the hole in the pail, but not tightly
enough to press the rubber tube together
and close it. The folded edge of the
cloth makes one end of the roll larger
than the other. Now draw this Toll
through the hole from the inside of the
pail, fasten the inner and larger end with
a few tacks, hem down the loose edge of
the cloth, and it is done. The milk runs
slowly through the tube, and the calf
learns to suck the thing at once.”
The Careol Poultry.
Don’t be tempted to keep too many
fowls together. Small flocks carefully
tended will give much better results.
Have your hen house so constructed
that the fowls may have the benefit of
all the sunlight possible.
The roosts should be low, especially
for all heavy fowls, and in the warmest
part of the house. There should be
ample menus of ventilation without the
possibility of a draft at night, or you
may look for a swelled head and its at
tendant miseries in the morning.
If yon have a rooster that seems
especially attentive to a certain la n,
watch him. I have seen such a one
stand by the nest while she was laying
her egg, and directly she left the nest he
would break the egg and call all the rest
of the hens to share in the feast. Thus
hens are taught to eat eggs.
Moisture and ventilation in artificial
hatching are two great stumbling blocks
in poultry keeping. Every man who
invents an iucubator has his theory on
these points. After various experiments
I am satisfied that more chicks are
killed by too much, than too little
moisture. I recently hatched 150
healthy chickens from 188 fertile eggs,
and in a hot-water incubator, without
one drop of moisture until after the tenth
"flay, it then being supplied by three
small cups containing sponges, which
were saturated with quite hot water, say
110 degrees at each time of turning the
eggs, night and morn’rg. The only
ventilation in the machine was supplied
by means of an inch and a quarter pipe
directly in the front. This was kept
tightly plugged until after the tenth day.
and yet we have a brood of chickens
worth going a long way tn see.
Of course if one is operating a self
regulating lamp machine, moisture is
necessary from the start, because the
opening and closing of the ventilator
naturally cau>es a dryness in the
machine, hut how to supply just the
right amount is a “poser.”
Management of a Garden.
| The culture of a garden should be the
! that is poss.ble. No labor or fer
tilizers should be spared to make the
product as large as it can be made. With
liberal manuring and frequent weeding
the land in time will be brought into a
high condition of productiveness, and
be so free from weeds that the labor of
weeding n ill- he reduced to the smallest
minimum. It is scarcely possible to have
land free from weeds; seeds of the com
mon weeds seem to be everlasting, and
are so numerous that the plants still con
tinue to appear after many years of most
persistent destruction. A single p ant
of purslane produces more than 2,000,-
000 seeds, and the seeds of this trouble
some weed are practically indestructible.
Soil taken from two feet below the level
of ground ever p'owed, in trenching for
a bed of asparagus, has produced a most
abundant crop of this plant, along with
wild mustard, cinque foil, rag weed,
and several other weeds common
everywhere. Probably the seeds had
been buried there for scores of years,
where they had gradually sunk through
the soil, during its frequent expansions
and contractions, by reason of alternate
wet and dry periods. So that while
persistent culture and weeding wiil
greatly lessen the weeds and the work of
destroying them in the course of eight
or ten years, there will still be some' to
afford an excuse for working the soil.
But this work should he undertaken
systematically. It should not be left
until the growing weeds make it neces
sary. A loose, mellow surface and sub
soil through which the air can pass and
circulate is indispensable for garden cul
ture, in which every favorable condition
for quick and luxuriant growth should
be provided. Weeds, liewever, cannot
be permitted, or should not be, however
rich the soil; they take up a large share
of the plant food, which is not their
worst feature, for they abstract a large
quantity of moisture from the soil, and
the growth of a crop is always in ratio
with the supply of moisture up to the
point when it becomes excessive.
The plant food supplied to a garden is
most useful when it is in a thoroughly
soluble condition There are some greedy
feeders—so supposed—which make a
luxuriant growth upon raw manure.
These are, however, the succulent vege
tables, such as rhubarb, which will thrive
in manure with very little soil about it.
Any other plants will do the same. They
are all hungry and greedy for food But
it is difficult to supply all a’ike, and so
those which are called gross feeders are
furnished with abundance, and the rest
go with half rations. No doubt some
plants will find food where others starve,
and have the habits of some animals in
this respect, finding nutriment in matter
which affords none to others, just as a
cow in a pasture crops the tender herbage,
a sheep consumes the coarse weeds, and
a hog digs up and devours the roots,
while the butterflies and bees take only
the nectar. Plants differ in the same
way, and a compost of swamp muck,
spent hops, leaves, stable manure, and
other coarse vegetable matter, only half
decayed, will serve the eager appetite of
some, while Peruvian guano, flour of
bone, superphosphate of lime, nitrate of
soda, and other more soluble food but
especially the so-called complete or
special manures having precisely
the composition of the crop
they are intended to supply,
are the most elective with others. The
flavor of fruits and vegetables depends
in a great measure upon the food supplied
to them. A strawberry, an onion, a
radish, or a potato is much likea fowl or
a pig or the milk and cream of a cow in
this respect. A pig fed upon barleymeal
or potatoes, with sweet milk, makes a
delicious pork, very different, from that
of one fed in a manure cellar or on filthy
garbage; a fowl is much like a pig, and
the eggs or flesh of a hen which feeds
upon manure heaps has a strong and
disagreeable odor and taste; every one
knows how milk acquires the odor of
garlic, onions, and turnips upon which
the cow feeds. So with vegetables and
plants. We have had far more delicately
flavored strawberries grown with Peru
vian guano and old manure from a hot
bed which had lost all its odor; from as
paragus, peas, rhubarb, and cabbage fed
with fine bone flour and wood ashes, or
the common artificial manure prepared
for potatoes as a special fertilizer, and
potatoes thus fed have been incompar
ably finer in every way, freer from
diseases, and of higher flavor when thus
grown, or when grown with completely
decayed compost and leaf mould, and
when fed with rank stable manure.
In like manner, frequent cultivation of
the surface down to the roots but not
among or below them, is requisite for
the finest developments of the garden
crops. Onions, radishes, cabbage, let
tuce, are especially improved by this
frequent culture, and strawberries and
the other small fruits yield much more
and finer fruit. The effects of frequent
cultivation upon a plantation of Kitta
tinny blackberries in our garden were
shown in a remarkable manner a few
years ago when some rows of the plants
were struck with rust. This variety is
quite subject to this disease, but when a
portion of the rows was kept quite cleat
of weeds and the soil made mellow by
working with a handwheel cultivator
two or three times a week, and was
fertilized with potash salts, lime, and
bonedust, the rust did cot reappear after
all affected canes had been cutout. The
growth became remarkably vigorous and
the fruit much finer than usual and of
greatly improved flavor. The rest of
the plants were overpowered with the
parasite, which weakened and stunted
them and rendered them fruitless.—
New York Times.
He Took Them All.
Congressman Herbert, of Alabama,
had an amusing experience recenty. His
youngest daughter, who is at a Washing
ton boarding-school, was entertaining two
young lady friends from her home. One
day the Congressman called, and sent
up word that he had come to take his
daughter and “the young ladies from
Alabama” to the matinee. Pretty soon
Miss Herbert and a dozen bright girls,
all from Alabama, came rushing down
stairs, exclaiming: “Oh, how perfectly
lovely of you, Mr. Herbert, to take us
all.” The Congressman made the best
of the situation, and paid the bill grace
fully.—Argonaut.
HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
Science in the Household.
There is heat enough wasted around an
ordinary kitchen range—to say nothing
of the furnace —to furnish all the power
needed to run the sewing machine, pfimp
water for an elevator, and light the
dwelling by electricity. The same waste
of heat of the cooking apparatus might
be made to cool the house in summer and
to dispense with the ice hill. When
nitrate of ammonia, for example, is dis
solved in water it absorbs an enormous
amount ol heat jj-iul -the principle is
readily applied in the construction of re
frigerating chambers. Properly e'nbo
raated and located these could be so ar
ranged as to keep meats, etc., better than
the ordinary ice box, to cool water i’oi
drinking more wholesomely than tiie
average ice supply, and to send volumes
ot cold air down through shafts to r >gu
latorsin the ceilings of rooms so that the
heat of summer might be tempered as
certainly as the cold of w inter. The same
supply of the ammonia salt may be used
repeatedly by evaporating the wat r, for
which purpose the waste heat above
spoken of could be utilized. The p ssi
bililies of applied science in the house
hold have not been even nibbled at. —•

Household Hints.
Leather chair seats may be revived by
rubbing them with well-beaten white ol
egg-
Sweet potatoes require nearly twice the
time that Irish potatoes do.either to bake
or boil.
Tepid water with a little borax dis
solved in it is good to wash colored table
linen in.
White and pale shades of tint may be
beautifully cleaned by using whiting io
the water.
Cook oatmeal in a double boiler or in
a covered pail set in a kettle of water.
Be sure to salt it.
To wash castor bottles, put them one
third lull of rice, and fill up with water
shake thoroughly.
To clean red brick floors, rub them
with a brick moistened with a little warm
milk and water, and wipe dry with *
soft cloth.
To clean straw matting, boil thret
quarts of bran in one gallon of water,
and wash the matting with the water,
drying it well.
Peach leaves pounded to a pulp anr
applied to a bruise, or a wound from a
rusty nail, or a simple cut, will give im
mediate relief.
Don’t allow matches to be k’ept loose
or in paper boxes, but only in metal ci
earthern safes. Those lighting only on
the box are safest.
If the face seems constantly dry, rub ii
with a trifle of olive oil every night for s
time: if too oily, put a little borax ii
the water used for bathing it.
If you wish to keep a sharp knife don’'
put in hot grease; stir your potatoes
while frying, or turn meat with a fork ot
an old case knife kept on purpose.
To remove paint from windows, take
strong bicarbonate of soda and dissolve
it in hot water. Wash the glass, and in
twenty minutes or hall an hour rub thor
oughly with a dry cloth.
The carving knife and large knives
used in the kitchen, as well as cooks
knives that are required to be very sharp,
should never be used about the fire for
stirring hot things. This will quickly
dull them.
Lemons will keep good for months bj
simply putting them into a jug of but
termilk, changing the buttermilk about
every three weeks. When the lemons
are required for use they should be well
dried with a cloth.
Soldiers’ Monument.
The monument committee of (he Pick
ett Association of Richmond, Yu., have
submitted a plan for the proposed monu
ment to the late Gen. George E. Pickett
in that city. The hexagonal design is
rtcommended. The entire height of the
shaft will be about eighteen feet, with
six rustic columns and .-ix bronze plans
for inscriptions—one for Gen. Pickett,
one for each of the four brigades and one
for the artillery.

CATARRH IN THE HEAD.
SY’JIPTOJIS OF THE DISEASE.-Dul], hnavy headache,
obstruction of the nasal passages, discharges falling from the
head into the throat, sometimes profuse, watery, and acrid, at
others, thick, tenacious, mucous, purulent, bloody and putrid;
the eyes are weak; there is ringing in the ears, deafness, hacking
or coughing to clear the throat, expectoration of offensive mat
ter, together with scabs from ulcers; the voice is changed and
has a nasal twang”; the breath is offensive; smell and taste
impaired; there is a sensation of dizziness, with mental depres
sion, a hacking cough and general debility. Only a few or the
ahnve-named symptoms are likely to he present in any one case.
Thousands of cases annually, without manifesting half of the
above symptoms, result in consumption, and end in the grave.
No disease is so common, more deceptive and dangerous, less
understood, or more unsuccessfully treated by physicians.
