All ilie difference existed in the form of con struction. When the kwo blades of the shears meet square together like a com mon pair of scissors, tliey wiil not prune off a large shoot ; but if one moves over the other bliquely wth a draw or saw ing motion, (heir efficiency u greatly increased. The tool I manufacturers of past years were awara of this difference, and they employed a complex construct ion like that represented iu Tig. 1. . The "draw-cut" was effected by the movable center, so that when the handled wero no. , no. pressed together the connecting rod draws the nearer bla4e downwards, and incr'aiug tiie cu ting power several fold over the Simula shears. For prun ing or cutting graft above the reach of the operator, it is still common in some places to attach to tile pole the shears represented in Fig. 2J which are worked by a cord attached to the nearer curved blade ; but ns the cut is only that of a pair of Eoi-isora, it can bo used only on email twigs. The cut shows where the pivot is on which the nearer blade of these shears moves, being the center of the dotted line. In Fig. 3, with a slight alteration, the pivot ia placed on the rod, no. 3. . no. 4. giving to the further blade the motion of the dotted line, sawing and cutting off larger liuibs, and acting as efficiently as the imp inent represented by Fig. 1.

The Latent in iwina-Feedinff. l or the past three years, the Wiscon sin station has beer experimenting for the purpose of determining the effects of various foods or on the carcass, bones, end viscera of hosJ In all cases, corn meal has served as k ration for one lot of pigs under study because corn is and must continue to be the staple hog-food at the West, Against corn-meal has been fed a ration containing part corn rueal, but in addition such other ingre dients as dried blood, peafl, shorts, or ekim-milk foods rich in protein, or lean meat producing. To avoid redundancy, the phrase " cornjraion " will be under el ocd to mean corn; alt, ashes, and water; "mixed ration" wU mean part corn, nnd with, the articles above mentioned containing considerable protein, to gether with ashes, salt, and water. -Professor W. 3A.

CHANGES IK FABJONa It ia qttinc to be Im Poetle and Flctur esqne Thaa of Otd Going bck to the old farm one real izes that tune has wrought many changes. Steam does the thrashing now, and saws the wood besides, and there are many agricultural implements ef which we cannot guess even the name or use. Sliding gates have usurped the place of the bars, and that poetio framework upon which lovers have so often leaned, and, alas, against which the cows have so often barked their shins, is henceforth co be un painted and unsung. One looks In vain for the tripping mil km aid. Has the winsome creature been banished or utterly exterminated? Surely an old Webster speller must be unearthed to find even a trace of her whose tragic story has set many a rustic heart to thumping against ber "hum-made" woolen dress. Where, too, shall we look to find an old-fashioned, well-regulated milking tool. The memory of one, much sea soned and battered, still lingers with me, as I see it reposing on the upper rail of the fence, or, mayhap, taking a flying leap, hurled through the air by the hired man, and giving old "Line back" a thump for viciously kicking over a brimming pail of milk, which was often ber frisky wont. Alas 1 the pretty milkmaid has passed into a myth, and the milking s tool, touched by the law of evolution, has reappeared in gilded legs and plush upholstery, .to lay in wait for the unwary farmer and trip him up ia his own par lor. The end is not yet Who knows but in the twentieth century the farmer may recline in his easy-chair and sip his milk from cut-class tumblers, the lacteal fluid rbieng brought to him by electric cur rents, that shall indeed make the milk maid and her occupation a tradition of the past. Cleveland Leader. J Gate Attachment. Who that has had occasion to drive through a farm gate when alone has not had a vexatious hunt for a stick of some sort to use as a prop to hold the gate open against wind or gravity? The illus tration shows a device which avoids such hunt A '1 f I n prop is fas- h ft ' c xenea to l, fl iithe ate ( !fCN ; with a ring Avi and staDle. m When the gate is ' opened as far as nec essary, it is given a sharp pull, SHORT-STOP TOR GATK- a 8 if t O close it ; the sharpened lower end of the prop is forced into the ground and the gate is firmly held. When the gate is to be closed, a push in the other direction loosens the prop, which is carried around if it will not drag along until the gate is nearly closed ; then it is dropped on the ground and, forcing the gate shut, will raise it somewhat on the prop, taking a part of the weight off the hinges, and preventing the sagging of the gate. Figs In Clover. " No ! I never eat pork ; the meat is not clean ? Hogs are such filthy crea tures, you know, " remarked an old lady in New England, some years ago. "Yes I But out West they keep their pigs in clover ! They have great pastures, cov ered with grss, and the hogs grow until autumn, when they are fattened on the new oorn, and this keeps them healthy. " "Ob! if they eat clover, their meat must be good. " Now, this old lady could read ily believe that clover must be a valu able element in producing sweet, whole some pork. But the "West" has no patent on clover for swine. Everywhere its use is perfectly free, and, wherever used, its good effects is quickly noticed. The American Agriculturist noticed, some years ago, the case of a gentleman in Southborongh, Mass., who soid a few pigs each fall to his neighbors, who had become acquainted with the excellence of his pork, and gradually Increased his sales each year, until his grass-fed pigs were in such demand that he had to buy many .car -loads annually from farmers who raised the "pigs in clover" as he did on bis own farm. But it is not always practicable to in close large pastures for swine ; so the next q&sf tiing jts to auopc a system or soiling which will supply the stock with green food in-summer, and roots and clover-hay 'or' silage In 'winter. Hogs can subsist for months under a hay stack, wth a very little grain. A ration of hay or dried grass, during the season when the' pastures are covered with mow, will be acceptable, and greatly reduce the cost of wintering the herd. Clover-seed should be sown very early bx spring, as the seed needs to be well covered up before it will germinate. The spring rains wash the seed into the oil, and a "good catch" is reasonably certain ; .while, Jf the.sowing is delayed until late, .the crop is .not half as sure. VsUbn. An. Australian farmer, during the last , season, tested the oft-repeated statement n t.'.-"i "'HI that a oean used sa eacn potato niu viii-i - -i, X' luu. uu i- hn flity rnncA or o a w--. ,. a ui ftf-ich we guarantee to meet every time, t Examine stock and prices and save would keep away tne potato Deetie, tns theory being that the smell of the bean wa. so obnoxious that the bug would not feed in its vicinity. He planted sev eral rows of late potatoes, but, as soon sa the potato sprouts appeared, the bugs went to work with their usual activity. They would not eat the bean plants, but were frequently seen on them. . The planter was obliged to desist from ap plying insecticides for fear of poisoning '.be beans, and so his potatoes were a total loss. Tru-ellng Dairies. Traveling dairies are getting to -be quite common in Australia, wherever the various agricultural and pastoral locielies are willing to co-operate in working tlio plant They generally stay ten days in - each place, and the local agricultural society nominates five pupils to receive a special vourse of instruction from tho manager. The result lias been very gratify in- OKSJIl.t - J- XD G.mOli-T. In transplanting ue plenty of via' or about the roots of plants. This will often prevent wilting even under a hot sun. When a farmer once raises small fruits for himself and family he wiil never bo without them again if he can prevent it There are both enjoyment and health in small fruits. New novelties in plants are often old varieties renamed, nnd the "novelty" dies out after the first season unless it is something superior to anyt-ing of its kind already in use. Give the currants plenty of room, good attention and keep the worms off with white hellebore. The currant is about all the fruit some farms have, and it de serves good attention. A few peach trees, planted every rpring, for family use, will provide a constant supply each season, the younger trees coming into bearing as the old ones die out A dozen trees requite but little labor. A New- Jersey farmer states that all that saved him from loss last year was the profit this wintc from the product of his orchards. 1 here is a lesson in this for farmers who fail to rene.v their or chards. If any of our readers have a graft they desire to bear early, if they will bend it over and tie fast to a branch below it, or tie a weight to a string suspended from it, the gradual bending of the graft will check the growth of it and cause it to put out fruit spurs, and an early bear ing will result This plan is only of value where w-e want to quickly test Dew varieties, and ., of course, not in tended for orchard use. New England, Fanner. Professor Riley is confident (Insect Life, Vol. 2, No. 7, Page 261) that the spraying of fruit trees with arsenical insecticides will not prove injurious to the bee gathering honey from the blos soms of such trees. "The prevaiMng be lief is, however, the other way, and cases are on record where serious de struction of the bees has resulted from S raying. In the case of the apple, par ticularly, the application should not be made until the bloom has begun to fad, when no in jury will be likely to result " According to the best experience, such insecticides are most effective when ap plied after blooming, but on the apple while the calyx end of the small fruit ia 6 till uppermost Success With Fall Sown Clover. James Hoyt, of Connecticut, writes to the Country Gentlemen : It was my good fortune some sixteen or eighteen years since to read in your "paper an article ad vocating the sowing of clover in the fall. As this was in direct conflict with our own practice and also against the gen eral custom of the vicinity, I should as a rule have passed It over without further thought, liad it not been that our clover catch was very uncertain, some years being nearly an entire failure, and often with poor results. After due delibera tion we decided to try the new idea, and we have adopted it, finding it a great improvement upon our old-way of sow ing grain and timothy in the fall and waiting until spring to sow the clover. We have had only two years whf n we had to sow clover again in the spring, it having been winter-killed somewhat, and where it took from the fall sowing the yield was much better than tho second or spring sowing. The land used is in good condition and in some wet spots has been drained. Usually we have seeded down with rye, although our clover on wheat has been very fine. Most of the land used is quitrt a distance from the barns back lots ; so they have not received much barn-yard manure ; we generally rely upon ferti lizers and ashes. We formerly plowed fields where the timothy was run out, just as soon after haying as possible, and after letting it lie as long as we could, cross-plowed and harrowed until we bad a seed bed to suit ; but for the past five years we have not cross-plowed, finding that often the turf was not rot ten, and would be a source of annoyance and trouble in working the land, as well as the wild grass roots starting to grow and soon crowding out the cultivated grasses. We now turn over a run-out piece just as early after the hay is removed as we can, and after rolling it the same as for corn, harrow it twice with spring-tooth harrow ; we then harrow it about every week until the 1st to the 15th of Septem ber, when we harrow thoroughly and J put on our fertilizers and seed down When we use stable manure we find that ten 80-bushel loads is fully enough; more would cause the rye to lodge, etc. This, I feel, is owing to fine culture coarse tilling would require at least 18 Load tat same rwulta.

How to preserve eM in times of cheapness and plenty until the market advances is a subject deserving of scien tific experiments and its solution is of immense importance. In no other industry is there greater need of the application of co nmon sense than in caring for poultry, and while it is well to give due consideration to all the advice that is given us, it is only practical, common-sense knowledge that can bring success, and thorough care aud attention are more necessary than anything else. There is no more beautiful variety of the domestic fowl than the Spangled Hamburgh. The clear, rich, golden bay of the Golden variety, and the clear, silvery white of the Silvers, with their respect, ve large, round black moons or spangles, and the small, neat head, with shapely rose comb, offer s combination which is to be met with in no other breed. Poultry houses, as a rule, are built en tirely too high, giving much space near the roof, which cannot be utilized, and too little ground room. It is the nature of most fowls to roost upon the highest available perch, without ever a thought as to how they will get down in the morning. If we teach them to use their wings in this way we need not wonder that no outside fence will restrain them. A short time since, an inquirer wrote to a noted poultry-keeper and asked him if $150 would build a house for 200 chickens ; and the fancier replied that it could not be done ; if that was all the money he had, he had better not under take it. The advice, says another breeder, was altogether wrong ; as un less lumber was unusually expensive, or the price of labor exorbitant, a practi cal man could easily build two such houses with all the necessary conven iences for that amouut How often . do we hear the remark, "I had luck with my chickens, " or "I did not have luck with them. " Luck is a poor word. We only like it when the letter "p" is prefixed, and we have it "pluck." If a man has "pluck" he is generally apt to have "luck". Pluck means hard work, hard study, hard per severence. It don't mean anything else. Some people look at it as a "daredev lish" work. It is not That would be risky. A plucky man is a careful man, but he always dies game. The poultry business is one in which a man must "roll up his sleeves. " High hats, broad cloths, kid gloves are too aristocratic for hens. A careless business man succeeds in no trade. A man must also have some knowledge about what he is going into. Think of a man going into the grocery business that does not know his weights and measures. Think of a man opening a dry goods store that does not under stand the figures on a yardstick. Think of a farmer that does not know the sea sons, the soil and the general conditions. Then think of a man going into the poultry business who does not know where a fowl's comb is. Such a man lately went toHammonton, N. J., to see if there was money in the chicken busi ness. Think of a man wanting to "start up" who does not know how long it takes an egg to hatch. A Home-Made Mane Comb. The comb for the mane and tail of horses, shown in the illustration, is made of a piece of half-inch board, eight inches long and five wide, with one end reduced to the form of a handle, as ihown in the engraving. A hole is bored hi the end to hang it by. Seven rows of MAR- COMB. holes are pierced with a bradawl, four of the rows with five holes each, and the three intermediate rews with four holes, io that the whole shall be.injthe "quin cunx" form. Stout wire nails driven through the holes serve as teeth. The whole is finished by nailing a covering of perforated tin plate on the back, to hold the teeth in place. Raising Pork. There are a few things our farmers seem to forget in the raising of pork. One thing is that slop and dirty dish water are not good enough for hogs. An other is that corn should never be the sole diet If pigs were fed more upon milk, clover, and grasses, instead of the ordinary swine compound, there would be less danger of sickness and much better pork. Again, if they were allowed the range 6f fields, and always supplied with fresh water, there would be more health. And last, but most important, comes the housing. What wretched hovels some hogs liave I Leaky roofs end wide cracks in the side. Some people keep their swine in old hogsheads, or perhaps large s to re-boxes. The pen owned by the writer is six feet long and four wide. This is for one hog only. The whole building, roof and sides, is covered with heavy roofing and lining papers, and however hard it is raining, or how deep the snow is, the pen is al ways dry and warm. It is a great satis faction to know that animal are always comfortable ; and, with good feed, hogs U tbt-ivA riirht alone. rExcbanget Backs, Butts, S. O. and California Hum-. Also N. C.

Nothing is more attractive around a farm-house than a flock of evenly marked and hnudsomely-lumaged fowls. They are an ornament to the door-yard, and of interest and profit to the owner, while a flock of. mongrels have no beauty. If the boys and girls are allowed a small flock of fine birds, r.-.i their own, to care for and manage, you wiil find they make them pay. Just try it and be convinced. A correspondent of the Mirror states how to avoid rot and scrab in potatoes ; "Roll the land, and when the potatoes are four inche3 high sow on' a mixture of fifteen parts plaster, three parts' blacked lime and one p.srt of fine salt i riKM it. Bohemian oat. po merit ove other kinds, and farii . . ild ie cau tious before paying exii.t iice. tor such seed. It is important that the harness fits the horse. Galls and s n-s ou the horse may be avoided by giving some attention to the harness. Small patches of wheat have been grown which prodi ! at the rate of 100 bushels per acre, yet'the average yield of wheat in this country does not exceed 13 bushels. The use of a pure bred sire iu any kind of stock is the easiest way to im prove a herd or flock, and is the surest method any farmer can adopt to get his business on a paying basis. Strictly choice cattle are not in excess of the demand at any time. There is al ways an extra price ready for an extra choice article, and this applies to every thing that may be produced. When planting corn bear in mind that the variety known to be well adapted to four soil and climate is better than any oew variety until you give the new variety a trial on a small plot Dry soils should receive flat cultiva tion and damp soils should he ridged. The object, in the first place, is to save as much of the moisture as possible, and, in the second, to get rid of the excess. The value of any kind of fodder is not in its quantity, but in the amount that is digestible. The quality largely de pends on the stage of growth when it is cut and cured. Unless a collie dog is well trained ho should not be used for driving cattle or cheep. A dog that does not thoroughly understand his duty will keep the ani mals in perpetual fear. Cows giving milk are quickly effected by excitement f any kind. Wood ashes are excellent on all kinds of vegetables. The stalks and leaves of potatoes abound lar gely in potash, as do also the leaves of beets. Though ashes contain no nitrof sn, they supply not only potash but lime and a proportion of phosphoric acid. ; Variation of the food promotes ap petite. All animals become disgusted with a sameness of food. When food is refused tempt the animal with some thing else. In this manner sickness and ioss of flesh may be avoided, while the cost need not be necessarily increased. While aiming to produce good but'er do not forget that one of the most im portant essentials is the purity of the salt. Butter may be injured by salt, and as no mineral is more difficult to rid of impurities than salt, extra care should be exercised in securing the best to bo obtained. It is shown by experiment that anf fnals affected by tuberculosis are in a condition to communicate the disease to other stock, and that when slaughtered and used as beef endanger the health of those who consume the meat, one sci entist claiming that consumption may be cominunicat td in such manner. A correspondent of the Pittsburg Stockman gives an important remedy for hog cholera, if he is not mistaken in the disease. Finding several hogs dead, and others dying, he administered kero sene and milk, the result being a com plete recovery of the sick animals, with no further spread of the disease. The cures were immediate. Bees, according to Professor A J. Cook, are fond of salt For this reason they are often seen hovering about urinals. This is a sufficient hint for the beekeeper to keep a shallow dish of -.ait and water where the bees can get access " o it Probably clear salt put near them uuder cover would draw moisture enough dur ing wet weather and dewy nights for all practical purposes. When the farmer churns his milk and sells the butter he does not deprive his soil of fertility. The b :tl rmilk may bo fed to his-e wine and poultry with profit, but when meat and eggs are sold tho fertility of the noil goes also. Nothing robs the soil faster than selling milk, and unless the farmer procures fertiliz ers or buys a large proportion of bran and linseed meal his farm will deterior ate in quality.

U plants to indicate tne presence' cc com plete plant food. When the soil is lack ing in nitrogen and the mineral elements the color of the leaves of the plants are yellow. Light-green color shows a defi ciency of some particular substance, and deep-green indicates that the plants are particularly supplied with nitrogen, lime, potash, aud phosphoric acid. When planting corn for ensilage do not depend. on such a crop as the exclu sive feed for next season. Ensilage is invaluable to all who raise cattle, but its value consists in providing succulent food at a season when such food is scarce. Grow grain and roots also, in order to provide a variety. Ensilage is the cheap est of axi i ocas sa rTs atvii r connection wren gram ana nay. Its ef fects are largely dietary, and it invari ably increases the appetite and promotes digestion. In the Southern States, no milking is performed until the .udder of the cow is washed and wiped dry with a clean towel. This is an old custom in that sec tion, and it should be followed elsewhere. If the North can boast of a greater num ber of superior animals, she has yet a. lessen to learn from the above. Tho udder and teats of a cow are often plas tered over with filth from the liquid and solid manure, much of which is carried into the milk by the hands of the milker. An inspection of some cattle-stalls will plainly show the necessity of a thorough washing of the Udder. Dthoralng. Every dangerous bull should be de horned. The operation is best performed on young calves, but can be done on ma ture animals without injury. Bulls should be exercised and trained to work. Idle bulls indicate extravagance in farm, ing.

The accompanying illustration of a band garden roller is from a ':tci rent by a subscriber, wbo says he rinls fre quent use for it in the garden. Some SJ3i3S HAND QARDEIff KO-R. seeds are sinjply scattered over the bed and then with the roller pressed into the ground. They germinate better than when covered with the rake. The roller is used for compacting the ground above other seeds and between rows of vege tables. If the earth is ridged up against the vegetables the roller can be run over the ridge on each side. A piece of log, twenty inches long, is dressed down until ten inches in diameter.' Iron pins are driven in the center of each end, the pins working in the iron pieces, which unite to form a prong driven into the end of the handle. This roller can be made at home, except the iron pieces. Fertilisers for Oats. It is a Berious question with many farmers, particularly in the Central West, to what extent fertilizers can be employed at a profit Jcob Zellers, a contestant in the American Agricultur ist competition last year, applied 800 pounds of phosphate on his acre of oats and harvested thirty bushels. The land for sixteen years had been in a four year rotation of oat without manure, then wheat drilled in with gran seed and 200 pounds per acre of bone-meal, after having twelve two-horse loads of nianute plowed under, the hay crop being- followed the fourth year by corn. Ihe crops were fifteen bushels per acre of t ats and wheat, two tons of hay and forty bushels of corn. The practical re sult Is, therefore, an increase of fifteen bushels in yield by the use of 800 pounds of phosphate. This certainly did not pny, even allowing liberally for the plant food remainlag in the soil. There are evidences in Hr. Zeller's report that lead to the conclusion that very much less fertilizer would have had the same re sult at a cost that would have proved a profitable investment It is a simple matter for farmers to find out hew much fertilizer it will pay to use by ap plying varying quantities to strips of land, and noting which plot gives the most profitable crop In the case of J. C Miller, Fairfield county, Ohio, a clay loam that had never been manured a corn stubble was stirred three or four inches deep with a spring-tooth cultiva tor, followed by four harrowings with the Thomas harrow, twice each way al ternately, and was rolled twice. Then 400 pounds of phosphate were drilled in, after which two and one half bushels of White Bonanza oats were drilled in cross wise with 200 pounds of bone meal, Just before the last harrowing 100 pounds of salt was broadcasted, and 150 pounds of nitrate of soda1 whs sown by hand five days af or planting. At 50 cents, the crop of s ity-uiue bushels just about paid for itself. U. S. Gov't Report, Aug. 17, 1889. Bran and SMpstnlf u. Goose Nest Store we offr to our ' To Servous Debilitated Me ft.
