POB the farm and home. * 11,-n.e for forty Fowti. A eomfortable house may be built, say twenty feet long and ten feet wide, and ( i-ht feet front and five feet back, boarded upright and battened, with a ,hed roof, shingled, the flooring to be made by filling it with mellow loam to the top of the under-pinning; this we consider better than a cement floor. This building had b tter be divided into two c nip irtmcnts, with partition and door; the south front should have two windows of six lights, eight by ten glass; the east, one window. Ventilators should be fixed at the highest point on each end. The roost should not be over two feet high, and about eight inches above a platform twenty inches wide; under neath this platform the nest boxes can be placed. A dust bin must also be provided. And now you have a com fortable place for forty fowls, at a cost of not over $25. Yards can be built on the south side corresponding with the width of the coops, and as long as room can be spared to make them. Your fowls must have access to a grass run each day (an hour or two toward evening will answer), or else grass or weeds must be cut aud thrown to them in their yards. Carbolic acid largely diluted with water will drive away the lice in vour hen house; it may be applied with a wisp, which we should consider pre ferable to a small pump. It would hardly pay to heat the house in cold weather; it would be better to make it as warm as possible by either ceiling it or lining with tarred paper. Mules vs. Mice. The question of moles eating vegeta bles, like the chess question, will not down. The difficulty is that the true mole, an animal that lives entirely on insects and such small animals as it may be able to overcom , is confounded with a species of mole-like mice, of which we have a number. The true mole is com paratively rare in the West, ar.d does no other injury than in disturbing plants while burrowing for insects. The mole like mice seem to be insect as well as vegetable feeders. A writer in the American Garden, who seems to have carefully investigated the habits of moles, as many naturalists have before, says; “Although moles do sometimes destroy a few plants by uudermingling their roots, it is more than probable that they arc blessings in disguise; that moles do not eat plants, but eat worms and grubs, admits of no doubt, they being found mostly in places where worms and are plentiful. We have frequently fol lowed the mole tracks under rows of dead strawberry plants, and have in variably found upon the roots the pecu liar evidences of the knawiug of grubs, (no mole teeth about it,) thus proving that grubs had already been engaged in their destructive work, and were only arrested in their mischievous progress by the timely arrival of the mole, who, after having found his prey, would not follow the same row any further, but would make a short cut to the next row wiiere his keen scent indicated the presence of another choice morsel.” The proper way is to discriminate as between mice and moles. If you find the marks of ro lent teeth on vegetables they will be those of mice, not moles. The worst that can be said of moles is that in their search for insects in lawns they do sometimes render the surface unsightly. But they destroy every living insect or larva they meet. Imperfect Action In Horses. One of the mo,t important questions to the horse-breeder is a conformation that shall best produce unity ofmuscu ar action and the power to endure ex haustive labor. In the draft horse the limbs are apt to fail first, and in all horse? the fore limbs suffer soonest. In this is of cour-c inciu led the hoofs, and upon city pavements these soonest show disability. To produce perfect action in all the parts there must be unity of ac tion, one part with another. The diges tive organs must be perfect and properly supplied to fur ish power to every part <f the system. The lungs and heart must be ample and the barrel round, since the lungs and heart supply arterial force and the barrel gives room to the digestive organs. Hence, the breeder must be conversant with the anatomy and physiology of an animal, not from a purely scientific standpoint, but from the practical view as it applies to the size, conformation, and quality of the several parts as related to each other. Yet, however good a foal may be naturally, he will degenerate year by year if he does not have proper food and exercise, aud the exercise must be in re lation to what he has to do when put to labor. The draft horse must be trained to walk as the chief motion, for the ability to move a load at a fast pace largely constitutes his value. If there are constitutional disabilities these may be partially overcome, or at least be less ened, by proper training, and his useful ness still further assured by proper ap pliances. One of the most common faults in work horses is stumbling when going at an ordinary pace, either the walk or a slow trot. In relation to this a veterin ary writer states that there are two causes tending to such action. One of these is a general weakness in the muscular sys tem, such as would be noticed in the tg i tired horse; the other, a weakness of the exterior muscles of the leg, brought about by carrying too much weight on the toe. To cure this, measurably at least, it is advised to lighten the weight of each front shoe about four ounces; have the toe of the shoe made of steel instead of iron; it will wear longer; have it rounded off about the same as it would be when one-third worn out, in order to prevent tripping. But as a preliminary means allow one week’s rest. Have the legs showered for a few minutes at a time with cold water through a hose, in order to create a spray; then rub dry briskly from the chest down to the foot. Give walking exercise during this week for about an hour twice a day. Chicago Tribune. Farm and Gardru Notes. Thorough cultivation of corn and po tatoes often repeated will be found a safe protection against drouth. Rearrange fields in such away as to reduce fencing to the lowest point, and cost of mainterance on many farms will be reduced enough to balance annual claims by the tax-gatherer. Heavy winds that shake off a great deal of fruit do not always diminish yield, for what is left grows larger, sometimes so much superior in size and appearance as to overbalance all apparent loss. A fat steer or other animal intended for the butcher will go off readily at any time, but it is not possible to put on the reqim-ed fat in a few days, so if there is the intention to sell good feeding is a prerequisite. A Wisconsin farmer says that if thistles are cut off even with the ground and salt placed on them as fast as they appear, they can be destoyed, but that watch fulness and industry must be exercised in keeping them salted. The careful shepherd varies the feed of his flock to suit their condition and ap petites. On cold, clear days his stock will eat nearly twice as much as on warm, wet days, and the amount of feed should be gauged accordingly. Many nurseryman advise transplanting evergreens in late summer rather than spring, as the pleasant moisture of the autumn causes them to root well before winter, and they are not first taxed to endure the scorching heat of early sum mer. Poultry farming doesn’t take a great deal of land, but with good manage ment the harvest comes every day, and, though it is small, its multiplication by all the days of the year makes a sum that compares favorably with more preten tious ventures. Ivy or any vine that runs perpendicu larly up a tree docs not injure it, unless branches from the vino extend along the branches, and, by its mass of leaves, smother the leaves of the tree. Vines like wistaria, that coil around a trunk, do injure trees. The disposition of an animal depends somewhat on the treatment it receives. Rough usage causes the animal to become irritable, and, when they are not vicious they are in a perpetual state of fear, which prevents improvement in yield of either milk, butter or meat. There is much difference in the quality of paris green, much that is sold being so heavily adulterated that it is impossi ble to decide how much to apply. The impure poison is believed to be injurious to potato vines, perhaps because of its impurity being applied stronger than it should be. The high-priced pure paris green is cheapest. The guinea fowl is a great forager, and destroys many insects that the hens will not touch. They do not scratch in the garden, and, though not easily kept near the house, they make known the places where they lay by a peculiar noise, which enables one accustomed to them to find all the eggs they lay. They really cost nothing to raise, and when roosting near the house create an alarm should in truders make their appearance. For the purpose of giving new life to plants alter excessive blooming, some kind of a fertilizer should be used. If commercial fertilizers aie used,care must be exercised in applying them, as they are powerful, and if too much is placed among the roots it will kill the plant. Liquid manu e may be used with good iff ct on plants enfeebled by blooming, and, in fact, it is a good fertilizer to have on hand at all times. Liquid manure may be applied with greater free dom than the commercial fertilizer. A hawk often prefers to alight and take a good view before beginning operations, and usually selects the top of a tall poll, which should bo erected for his benefit. P.ace the pole in an open space, where the hawk can see over the whole surroundings of the hen yard. Do not attempt to catch him until after he has alighted on the pole once or twice. His suspicions wil. then bo allayed. A steel trap nicely attached to the top of the pole, so as to deceive him, as fast ened with a chain, will then make him i a prisoner. Household Hints. C ean straw matting with a cloth and , salt water. Wipe dry. This keeps it i from turning yellow. A small table, round or square, can be : made into a beautiful ornament by cover- ing the top with velvet, plush or satin, and tacking on ribbons of various colors with gdt crescents or stars at the end. Bar soap should be cut into square pieces, and these should bo put into a dry place, as soap lasts better after dry ing. If gilt frames, when new, arc covered with a coat of white varnish, all specks can be washed off with water without harm. If a mottle or fruit jar is placed on a towel thoroughly soaked in hot water there is little danger of its being cracked by the introduction of a hot liquid. Krclpes. Fokk Chops.—Trim oft most of the fat, and broil, turning them frequently; put on a hot platter and pour over the gravy made by stirring into a pint of hot water enough flour to thicken it, and season well with salt and pepper. Dish of Corn and Tomatoes.—Take the pulp of eight ears of corn and mix with one quart of ripe, peeled tomatoes, cut in small pieces; season with salt and pepper, adding a little butter and three soda crackers rolled fine. Stew for one hour, and serve. Cracker Pie.—Ono egg, three heap ing tablespoonfuls of sugar, four crackers rolled fine, one and one-half pints of milk; cinnamon and saU to taste. Beat the egg and sugar together, add the rolled crackers, then tne milk, spice and salt. This receipt makes two pics on common-sized baking plates. Baked Onions.—Wash them clean,but do not peel, and put into a saucepan with slightly salted water; boil an hour, re placing the water with more boiling hot water as it evaporates; turn off the water and lay the onions on a cloth to dry them well; roll eadli one in a but tered tissue paper, twisting it at the top to keep it on, and bake in a slow oven about an hour, or until tender all through; peel them, place in a deep dish and brown slightly, basting well with butter for fifteen minutes; season with pepper and salt, and pour some melted butter over them. Grape-Growing and Raisln-L'arlng. W. If. Waddington, in Vici’s Magazine, says: Grape-growing, drying and curing for raisins is now an established industry in Southern California. Every year the area devoted to it is very much increased, so that in a few years we expect to sup ply most all that is needed by the east ern and western cities and markets. The United States’ consumption of raisins al present is placed at 0,000,000 boxes, 01 120,003,000 pounds. The yield of South ern California in 1885 was about 475,000 boxes, or 9,5(10,000 pounds, and more than a quarter of these were grown and cured in the San Bernardino Valley. The übiquitous croaker is already be ginning to croak of over-stocked markets and low prices, but as “good wine needs no bush,” so good raisins will not look long for a market, an I, as after all, the area is very limited where they can be grown and cured, raisin growers have nothing to fear in the future. The grapes grown for raisin-curing are the Morocco, Muscat of Alexandria and the Sultana, the Muscat being greatly in excess of the others, and in my estima tion much superior. It takes one ton of grapes to make about thirty boxes of good raisin-, and vines in this district, three, four and five years old, will yield ten, fifteen and twenty pounds respectively to the vine; this is the average of a fairly good vine yard. A Clond of Bn terflb'S. One of the most beautiful sights in the world is the annual migration of butter flies across the Isthmus of Pannnn. Where they come from or whither they go no one knows, and though many dis tinguished natural! ts have attempted to solve the problem, it is still as strange a mystery as it was to the first European who observed it. Towards the end of June a few scattered specimens are dis covered flitting out to sea, and as the days go by the numbers increase, until about the 14th or 15th of July the sky is occasionally almost obscured by myr iads of these frail insects. Viewed from a distance, or through a telescope, the spectacle is indiscribably wonderful. As the nm shines on the millions of swiftly fluttering wings, the result is a glisten ing and pulsating haze of golden green. When the wind drives them to the earth they can be caught in handfuls. Swal lows and fly catchers single out the largest and chase them often for miles. O;> being examined the butterfly is foil 'd to be of the beautiful Vrama Icilut species. Its wings are of velvety black and bronze and golden green. Occasion ally it is seen to settle on branches of trees and flowers before leaving land altogether. But in spite of the most active exertions of naturalists, the origin and destination of the insects are abso lutely unknown. Knew Him Right Away. “A frightened looking man walked into a gun store and rapidly said to the clerk: “Give me a British bull-dog revolver, a twelve inch dirk, a suit of armor and a box of cartridges.” “Yes, sir.

Ovr fashion editor, being asked what were the prettiest things in fall bonnets, at once answered “girls.” It makes a difference where you are. , A green grocer in London is one who sells vegetables. In Chicago it is one that trusts. , “Sofa so good,” as the young man , said when he sat on the lounge by the side of his best girl, and placed his arm around her shapely waist. A n Illinois editor defines r. philanthro pist as a zealous person bent on doing the greatest possible good to the greatest possible number with the greatest possi ble amount of other people’s money. “Johnny, did you put water in the milk this morning ?” said the milkman. “Yes, sir.” “Don’t you know that is wicked, Johnny ?” “But you told me to mix water with milk.” “Yes, but I told you to put the water in first ami pour the milk into it. Then, you see, we can tell people w e never put water in our milk.” Not long ago a city missionary in Chicago dropped into a Clark street dive with temperance tracts in his hand, and, accosting a dozen or more loafers sitting around, remarked: “Gentlemen, may I ask if you—” He got no further. With one accord they ranged themselves in front of the bar and answered in chorus: “I don’t care if I do.” He de parted. On the first night of Congreve’s “Way of the World,” the audience hissed it violently. When the uproar was at its height, Congreve walked on the stage and addressed the audience. “Is it your intention to damn this piny?” The cry was, “Yes, yes! Off, off.” Then I tell you this play of mine will be a living play w hen you are all dead and damned 1” And he walked slowly off. A Chicago woman entered the office of a loan agency the other day imd said: “I want to raise $1,500 on $3,000 worth of furniture. What is your lowest rate | of interest ?” “On such loans we gener ally ask 10 per cent.” “Very well. I Send your examiner up to the house. It is a speculation with me.” “Going into business, ma’am?” “Y’es, sir. I’m going to take my three daughters to the sea shore, and cither marry ’em off or drown ’em 1” <■■ At the masquerade ball in Adin laat week, St. Jacobs Oil took tho first prize Nothing strange in this, a* it is highly prized in every family where used-especially in ours.— Bieber, ' Cal., Mountain Tribune* “Aunty,” said n beautiful Rirl, us she list- | ened to her lover’s rotnoting footsteps, “ I sometimes have a ticklish sensation about my I ips anti fact*.
