TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Diseases of Cattle.
I The prevalent disease of the season
among calves and young cattle, and
■which is commonly known as black quar
ter, black leg, and bloody murrain, is an
effect of undrained, ill-kept pastures. It
consists of a disorder of the blood pro
duced by malnutrition and the us? of in
digestible and unwholesome food picked
up from swamps, wet fields, and low
woods, where coarse herbage and bad
water abound. As a ru'e, all the ills
which live stock of all kinds are heir to,
and which inherit such a liberal quantify
of these ills, are due to causes which may
be avoided. Bad feeding and foul
water are the most prevalent causes, and
the chilling of the quarters by lying upon
wet ground at times produces local ill
- effects, which lay a foundation for the
more active results of the bad food. If
an owner of cattle which are forced to
drink swamp water would examine a
drop of it by a microscope and see the
abundant germs contained in it, he would
realize how the blood of the animal could
be inoculated by the poison and made
unfit to support life.— New York Times.

Mixed Crops for Soiling.
The prevailing idea that mixed crops,
as oats and peas sown together, or beans
■* or pumpkins with corn, are economical
is not 'a new one. It has been put in
practice for more than 2,000 years, for
the old Roman farmers were in the habit
of sowing grains and pulse oats or bar
ley with peas or tares together for cut
ting green or ripe as cattle fodder. This
crop was known as “farrago,” a word
which has come down to us in quite
another sense as a mixture of foolishness,
stupidity and nonsense. The “mixed”
idea, hojtever, has been retained. The
old EngHHtejgn for this crop is maslin,

How to Keep Fowla
For a general purpose fowl, writes a
correspondent of the Rural Sett Yorker,
1 would select the hght Brahma for
crossing on the common stock, because
the offspring is a Urge, well-developed,
hamlwn© fowl, very hardy and free
from di'ease. Moreover, it fattens read
ily and always brings the highest price
in the market. Such birds art' very do
cile, and the hens are good layer* of
large egg*. Fcnce poultry in rathar than
let them apod the garden; but don't con
fine them in small pens, Make roomy
yards for them and they will do better
than when allowed to roam about at
will, always seeking an opportunity to do
teiaebief. 1 have never noted any differ
eooc between the eggs from UMa'on high
and drv land and those from others, but
I would not adtrow anyone to buy fowls
and transfer them from v«ry dry to wt
low Und. FUfir the eggs under a caro
/u! ben M aoun M convenient after they
have been received from the dealer. If
you cannot set them immediately, un
pack them carefully and plaee them in a
broad vessel, only one layer in depth,
and keep them in a cool (not cold) room.
Turn them every day, so that the yolk
may not settle to one side. In this
way they may be kept good fcr several
days. Ido not find any difference in the
shape, size, quality, or number of eggs,
whether cocks are kept with the
flock or not; but if I were keeping hens
for the production of eggs only I would
not keep many, if any, cocks, as they
would consume considerable food and
give no return whatever for it. In sum
mer nothing equals grass as a green food,
cither for poultry or for anything else.
In winter anything that comes the near
est to grass would undoubtedly be the
best. For the farmer who keeps only a
moderate-sized flock the refuse of cab
bage, potatoes, etc., from the kitchen,
cut up fine and fed to the fowls is, in my
opinion, the most economical and the
best green food. To cure the hens of the
desire to sit, shut them up in a small
coop, giving plenty of water and feeding
sparingly, though by no nuans starving
them.
Causes of the Potato Rot.
Professor J. 11. Ponton, of the Ontario
Agriculthral College, in an article on this
subject, writes: The disease has received
a great deal of attention from botanists
since the days when it became a scourge
in Ireland and other parts of the British
Isles, and it is now conceded to be the
result of a minute fungus called phytop
thora infestans. This attacks all parts of
the plant—leaf, stem and tubes. By those
ignorant of the life history of this tiny
parasitic plant little attention is paid to
its appearance on the tops, and no alarm
is experienced until the potatoes are af
fected. But, being very contagious, its
presence on the leaves should become a
serious matter, especially when we re
member that it spreads with great rapid
ity. It is usually indicated by the tops •
presenting a blotched, brown sh, spotted, I
dear! app arance. A close examination
of the potatoes showing this will discover ,
innumerable slender stems growing up I
out of the surface of the leaves and stems
o« the affected plants. These branch and !
swell out at the ends into pear-shaped
minute bodies (spores), which arc pro- i
duced by millions. When ripe they
seperate from the stem, and being ex
ceedingly light pass into the atmosphere, '■
where they are wafted abo - « , many of
them finally reaching the ground or I
settling upon plants. Under favor- I
able conditions of moisture and h?at |
the contents of a microscopic spore
may push out a long, minute tube,
which can penetrate into any part of the
potato plant and give rise to the fungus;
or may separate into several distinct p;>r- |
tions (swarm spores), which bur-tt I
through the spore wall and become the
source of the parantic plant. The mature
plant which lives in the tops and tubers
js very minute, and can be seen only by j
the aid of the microscope. It consists of
many colorless, branching, thread-like
structure 3 . These penetrate t'?c '
2.C11 1 .!? fc I upon the juices, ‘
so that it soonVeikens and begins to
waste away. From the thread-like struc- i
tures tiny stalks arise, assuming beautiful
plant hke forms and bearing upon their i
branches the spores already referred to. ;
They live but a short time, but the
thread-like structure is perennial and
hardy, and from fragments of it new j
fungi may arise. It is said by some that i
another kind of spore is produced w hich
can winter, and thus give rise to the or
ganism in another season. These are the
so-called resting spores, apparently for
the purpose of keying the species over
certain periods, while the spore* already
considered are produced rapidly, so as to
hasten the spread of the fungus under
favorable conditions. This minute micro
scopic plant is certainly a low form of
vegetable life, incapable of manufactur
ing rood from tha mineral kingdom, but
fastening u)>on other n'a its and feeding
upon their juices. A wet season supplies
conditions well adapted for its develop
ment, and hence we find the “rot” asso
ciated with such woo*her. There is no
doubt that many spores are always more
or less present, but they are prevented
from being a source of trouble because
the weather is not suited for their growth.
Fruit Notes.
As soon at the blossoms drop from your
fruit tree-, commence spraying them
with London purple or Pans green water
to destroy the insect pests. I)o not fail
to spray the currant bushes, when worms
commence their work, with white pow
dered hellebore, a spoonful to a large
pail of water.
If you have only a small garden bed of
strawberries, cover them over with news
papers when in danger of frost. If large
beds of strawberries, bum brush heaps
and saturate boards with gas tar, and
over these throw sod and wet straw to
make a smudge.
Straw or hay scattered thickly over
rows of strawberries will protect from
frost. Two or three persons can prepare
for protection against frost on a number
of acres. And this work pays, too, for
after such frost berries will sell high,and
those who have the largest crop will reap
the greatest profit *.
It will pay farmers and gardeners all
over the country to plant peach, plum
I and cherry p t- and to grow them ia nur-
I scry rows, letting th m stand out through
■ the winter. Those that go through un
harmed may be planted out. In this way
hardy sorts may be struck that will stand
in localities where varieties now known
cannot be grown. Blackb rrv and rasp
berry seed may be sown tra« summer,
from which to secure ironclads.
One cause for mildew on gooseberries,
grapes and the like is too much foliage’
or being grown with too thick tops.
Thin out thoroughly, and you will pre
vent the mildew to a great extent. Cur
rants and gooseberries should be well and
heavily mulchrxi with any coarse Utter.
Bugs may be kept away from squashes,
cucumbers and the like rs the latter
plants are covered with frames six to
eight inches high and a foot square. Do
i not take these frames away until the
> vines fill them un. If in danger from late
' fcxk>t, cover Vac frames over with heavy
paper.
We are often asked If it will aaswer to
transplant old stsawberry plants to fore*
a new bed where one has not young
plants We have often taken up old
plant*, trimmed off the tops and cut off
' the roots, and transplanted with good
success. Old plants send out runners,
and more of them, in quicker time than
young plants, hence they form good
matted rows of young plants by fall.
It is a good plan, where strawberry beds
have been mulched all winter, f.nd it is
intended to lea\ e the mulch on to keep
the fruit clean, to passover thi beds and
loosen up the mulch a little so that the
land will not t our.
If you want beautiful evergreens cut
ba. k top and side branches, especially
when young. Git a thick bottom at the
start. Never trim up evergreens from the
bottom, leaving an unsightly body with
a little bushy top.
If your garden is heavy and soggy, it
is a good plan to draw on clear sand and
mix it in. Coal ashes are also good, as
well as sawdust, mixed through the soil.
It is said that air-slaked lime thrown
through the plum trees after each rain,
or in the morning when wet with dew,
will stop the woik of the curculic. —

Taking Disease From Books. •
Visitors to 'the Congressional Library
had their attention attracted the other
day by the demeanor of an old man who
entered with the assistance of a crutch,
writes a Washington correspondent of
the New York Mad and Express. He had
a bandage over one eye and a roll of red
flannel enveloped one of his hands. Ho
stored his crutch away by the side of
his chair, adjusted the bandage over his
eye. and rubbed his side while waiting.
Presently the attendant brought him an
armful of books that seemed to be medi
cal works. The cripple was soon pour
ing over these with the deepest interest.
“That’s cme of them,” said the re
porter’s companion.
“I see,” replied the reporter. “So de
voted to books that he climbs up the
Capitol steps and comes here to read,
notwithstanding his terribly afflicted
frame.”
“Well, it’s not exactly that.” replied
the habitue. “It’s his affliction that
brings him here, and it’s his affliction
that he comes. You see he is, as I said,
one of them. There are enough more, i
They come to read up their own cases. ,
Those books before him speak of blind
ness, lameness and iheumatism. He is .
one of the best informed men on those
subjects in the city. The more .he knows
about the ailments the worse becomes
his affliction, and he will probably add
some new ones before he gets through
with that pile of books. When he started
in here he had something the matter
with one of his eyes, and he came to read
up on blindness. By careful study he
has spread ailments all over himself,
until there is no point in his body that
ain't in torture. He had been reading up
his own case, and has improved upon it.
That’s about the way with all of them.
Some of them are actually suffering from
some trouble for wh’ch they are seeking {
a remedy. Others are unconsciously
looking for troubles to have. Men who
have some chronic ailment, for which
doctors have been unable to give them
any relief, go to the library and read ad
the works they can find that may, in any
way, apply to their case. Eftme of tlleih '
become experts ‘n particular branches of I
medicine.
1 iV. ■ < to ta : t]U«'k
researches into medicine becomes very
extensive, though somewhat desultory,
gome get cured of one complaint when
they fall into possession of another, but
others retain all the old ones and continue
to nurse and train them very carefully
while adding new ones constantly. But
generally they are devoted to one particu
lar thing, and they pursue that assidu
ously. They are one of the peculiar
classes of readers.”

A very valuable nervous tonic in the
multitudinous cases of nervous debility
which are to be found among our young
people is that afforded by the excitement
and pleasure of earning a little money.
The occupation which leads to the re- ;
ceipt of payment is, in the first place,
healthful, by taking the mind off the
especial form of suffering, in whatever
small measure; and the delight of receiv
ing the pay reacts at once on the nerves
as invigoratingly as mountain air does on
the lungs. The invalids suddenly find
tliem'sches oi use in the world, not mere
eumberers of the /ground; they at once
turn to repeated encrtSj they find life
fuller, brighter, radiant with hopes; and
by chance or necessity the work brings
so nething to think about other th n the
daily disability and despair, something
in which self is lost; and plans are made
and castles built, and often health of

Prevention ©f Adulterated Teas.
Consul General Warren Green, of Yo
kohama. Japan, has sent to the State de
partment the resolutions adopted by the
Central Tea Association of the Japanese
Empire, looking to the prevention of
adulterated teas being sent out of the
1 country. Th as.? resolutions provided for
the establishment of central depots at
Yokohama, Koke and Nagaki, where all
teas sent in from the producing districts
will be carefully inspected. The*? in
spectors will also inquire carefully into
the methods pursued by the brokers in
conducting their bu-isess. The brokers
will be held responsible for the discovery
of adulterated teas, and when such tei’s
are discovered they will be seized and
turned over to the authentic'. A com
mittee will be dispatched to China to
study and tcpoit upon the tea rwoducrion
of that country.— Sett Orkau Tim t-

Pen and Paper.
Hard-writing is aa much an expres
sion of character aa dress or speech.
The cut, the color, and the arrange
ment of the dress indicates the position,
taste, and inclination of the wearer; the
tone of voice, the pronunciation, and the
thought expressed in speech is a com
plete index to the individual who holds
your attention, and not less certainly does
the color of ink used, the shape and
quality of paper, and the fashioning of
the characters in a written communica
tion, tell the story of the personality of
the inditer.
To be sure, we are governed or fashioned
in each by certain arbitrary rules pe
culiar to the time and place, but it is in
the adaptation of these mandates that
the individual crops out.
At one time no dress was complete
without a trail, and it was in its manage
ment that a woman’s grace or awkward
ness was apparent.
It is the individual surviving under
herculean difficulties that led a certain
young man to be spoken of lately as “a
sensible, respectable dude.”
The soft tones and smooth, grammatical
sentences of educated persons are notice
able even when marred by the drawling
tones aesthetic culture gives, or the twang
the Y ankee atmosphere imparts.
Thus does an unobtrusive color of ink,
heavy, plain, paper, and neatness of the
sheet, indicate the lady or gentleman,
notwithstanding the style of handwriting
in vogue.
Fifty years ago, the very delicate, very
regular, very slanting characters of the
Italian style of handwriting was in use;
this, while lacking in character, possessed
the one recommendation of legibility.
Then came in the English style, very
square, very imposing, stately as Britan
nia herself, but wholly illegible.
At this time we have in use, generally
a happy combination of both, and per
haps at no former time has more import
ance been attached to letter writing than
at present.
Business men consider it a most essen
tial dignity to maintain, and their hand
somely engraved letter-heads and care
fully dictated and neat type-written mail
are carefully considered indicati pns of
their business standing.
It was formerly believed that illegi
bility and haste indicated enterprise and
promptness; but while they do not en
tirely abandon money-saving and time
saving, they now consider beauty-saving
as well.
In letter-writing it is demonstrated
that it is practicable to combine useful
ness and legibility.
Ladies of leisure can have no excuse
for such an omission, which in them
would be at once unladylike and dis
courteous.
They are aided in this work by the per
fect pens, perfect paper, and perfect ink
of the day,
Steel pens ye most generally used in
preference to the more expensive gold
ones, at one time considered indispensa
ble.
The variety and excellence of paper is
unlimited for the ladies’ use, but the
heavy cream-laid, moderate-sized sheet,
unruled, is considered in most elegant
taste.
The sheet may be simply ornamented
iMMßaddress of the writer, the street,

We learn that Mrs. Cleve
mna uses stationery adorned with her
monogram in heraldic fashion, and the
motto in Latin, “’where bees are, there
is honey,” and perhaps this will lead to
innovations.
The use of sealing-wax, recently intro
duced, met with a hearty reception at
first, but lately we see but little of its use.
The convenient self-sealing envelopes,
for which wax seals are superfluous, are
too neat an expedient to be immediately
superseded.
Do Girls, Do.
Do be natural. A poor diamond is
better than a good imitation.
Do try to be sensible; it is not a par
ticular sign of superiority to talk like a
fool.
Do observe. The faculty of observa
tion, well cultivated, makes practical
men and women.
Do avoid causes of irritation in your
family circle; reflect that home is the
place to be agreeable.
Do, sometimes at least, allow your
mother to know better than you do. She
was educated before you were born.
Do be ready in thne for church; if
you do not respect yourself sufficiently to
be punctual, respect the feelings of other
people.
Do be truthful; do avoid exaggeration.
If you mean a mile, say a mile, not a
mile and a half. If you mean one, say
one, and not a dozen.
Do be contented; “martyrs” are de
testable; a cheerful, happy spirit is infec
tious; you can carry it about with you
like a sunny atmosphere.
Do try to be accurate, not only for
your own sake, but for the sake of your
sex. The incapacity of the female mind
for accuracy is a standard argument
against the equality of the sexes.
Do avoid whispering; it is as bad as
giggling. Both are to be condemned;
there is no excuse for either one of them.
If you have anything to say, say it; if
you have not, do hold ' our tongue alto
gether. Silence is golden.
Do cultivate the habit of listening to
others; it w ill make you invaluable mem
bers of society, to say nothing of advan
tages it will be to you when you marry;
every man likes to’talk about himself; a
good listener makes a delightful wife.
