CO."v T1IE FARM AND GARDEN. KEEPING FAB MS CLEAR OF WEEDS. One important point iu keeping a farm clear from weeds is to see that those germs are not imported in purchased seeds. Weeds are often introduced by the farmers own animals. Horses that have been fed at the town stables, and cattle that have been allowed to run on the highways, may each be the means of bringing obnoxious weeds onto the farm. Chicago Times. TItEES GIRDLED iiY MICE- When trees are completely girdled by mice the injury is irretrievable. If the damage could be discovered at once and before the wood should dry it might per haps be possible to save some of the trees by cutting the bark from others and fit tiug it accurately to the damaged portion and wrappinc the part in moist clay kept moist by wet bandages. But the chances are a hundred to one against this during the winter, when the sap is not flowing, while later, when the sap is in motion, it might be done. Prevention is the only cure, and this is easily secured by wrap ping paper around the trees in the fall and taking it off in the spring, when there is no more danger. Chicago Times. STB A. WHERRY BEDS. When picking comes to end, remove all the mulching and stack it in well made stacks, so that they will shed the raiu. It will answer for another year, and will be cheaper than a new cutting. In every other balk (or iu every one if the rows are two feat apart) sow upland rice very thinly; or, better, plant it in hills ten inches apart, with three or four grains to the hill. It will, with a little cultivation, shade the soil sufficiently to keep down the crabgrass and save the plants. But be careful not to get it too ' thick or it will make the plants so tender j that, when the rice is harvested in the fall, the sun will kill them. If it come3 on too thick during the summer, cradle -t off a foot high or more. It will sprout right up again, but you will lose your crop of rice. This is better, however, than to lose the strawberry plants. Try one bed with cowpeas and see which preserves the plants best peas or rice. Try auother bed with castor beans, plant six feet each vay. New Orleans TinieS'Dtiiioc'at . ilAUD OR SOKT FOOD. Experience shows that hard food is better than soft food for poultry, not that it contains more nutrition, but for the reason that when soft food is given the hens are tempted to eat a larger pro portion than should be the case. The giving of sett food leads to overfeeding and impairs t'ne digestion. It also sup plies the wants of the fowl more readily thun hard food, and so completely satis' ties it that the inducement to work and scratch (so essential to health and the thrift of the fowl) is lessened. Then, there h the jue:fc that when giving soft food the poult i'viiiau, by mixing several kinds, is liable to give more of one kind than may be uteded, while with hard grains the fowls have greater privilege of selection of that which they prefer; but i with mixed soft food they must eat every -i thing of which it h composed all or j none and thereby surfeit themselves. It is proper to give soft food, so as to feed io:ne needed substances, but we believe three times a week sufficient. Give whole grain and scatter it far and wide, or mix it with litter, thus compelling each hen to hunt and scratch for all she receives, which will keep her in health and promote egg production. New Or leans Delta. MAKE A GOOD GARDEN'. No man should spend his labor and tiiix over so large an acreage as to fail in making a first-class garden. In this much of the satisfaction and often no little part of the profit ot country and farm life consists. It is rather disheartening for the city resident who goes into the country during the summer for fresh air and fresh home-grown small fruits and garden vegetables to look into back yards and find tin cans carelessly thrown away, which show that even for such common table luxuries as tomatoes, green corn, and often green peas, the farmer and his family have nothing better for him than he could himself buy at the retail grocery. If farmers wish to attract other men to their business, as it is cleatly their interest to do, they must in every way make farm life as pleasant and en- joyable as possible. Labor-saving ma chinery enables the farmer to take life easier if he will. He complains that low prices for staple crops take off all his profit: Grow less of these crops then, and devote a larger share of time to fruit, especially the small fruits, and to garden vegetables. So soon as the farmer grows enough of all kinds of vegetables for table use i. their season, he has procured lux uries that only wealthy men can afford. t As he thinks over what he would have been obliged to pay for such table deli cacies, the harder lines of his life fade away. It seems worth while to live on a farm, and when he gets to feeling this way it is ten to one that he falls into the habit of marketing supplies he does not need, and thu after a few years de velops into market gardening the natural way. First make a garden that will supply your own table with all garden delicacies, and if there is a surplus it will be sure r.f a profitable market.--Ik'tton Culticutor. CAREFUL OATS CULTURE. The extraordinary price and scarcity of oats this spring will stimulate sowing, and the high price of seed and probable normal or low price of the resulting crop ("one extreme follows another") will make it worth while to be careful in the plautiag. The haste to get them in early often leads to plowing before the ground is dry enough, and results in a cloddy or packed couditiou of the soil, much more conducive to growth ol rag weed and pigeon-grass than to oats. With exception of barley and some early garden vegetables, no crop sn soon gives n return iu a saleable crop as oats, and this means rapid growth and necessity for plant-food in a ready-to-be-used con dition. Opinions differ in reference to plowing or not plowing cornstubble for oats; equally good farmers practising both methods; but it is certain that if a portion of the surface be left unbroken, hard and weedy, it will be impossible to get a thrifty, strong uniform growth of oats. On the score of economy of labor thsre U a difference whether the ground be plowed or made mellow with the cultivator, as the latter tool, although wider, is cjt so effective, and must be u--ed several times for thorough work. The cnlti -ator, however, can be run shal lower, and makes a better seedbed, and if the previous crop was kept clean of weeds there will be less to spring up if the ground if not reversed. A large per cent, is often taken off a crop of oats by low wet spots, which preclude early plowing, or make necessary two jobs of seeding. Such spots should be tile drained. " Finally, the average crop of thirty bushels or less per acre at the average price of thirty cents or less per bushel gives little or no profit, while a crop of seventy or eighty bushels per acre gives a clear gain of $15. New York Tribune. HOW TO HIVE A SWARM OF BEES. To hive a swarm of bees successfully and iu a systematic manner, write9a bee keeper, requires presence of mind, cool ness of nerves and fearlessness. To note the vast difference of the ways in which bees are hived throughout the country would be very amusing. I think it is sufficient to poiut out the correct way. It is the usual custom on discovering a swarm leaving the hive to begin throw ing; water on them ; this I do not do. When I see a swarm in the air, I at once set about to prepare a hire for them. If I know which hive they have come out of I remove it to a new location and set the new one in its place, andjspread on the ground just iu front . of , it a sheet doubled twice. The new hive should cmitiin.a full set of frames with a narrow strip of founda tion as a starter, and if it is during a good honey flow and after the surplus arrange ments have been put on, II would' remove the latter from eff the old liive and place it on the new one ; by this time the swarm has settled. If low enough, L' sprinkle them a little to preveutrthem flyang when jarred. Now get your swarming basket (I find that one holding a dialf (bushel is the most convenient); to the handle of this tie a pole; a piece of piueone and one-half or two inches square, is just right. Now reach up wlfii the apparatus just described and place ;5ie basket un der the cluster; the endiof the handle should extend beyond the basket a foot or so; strike the limb on t which, the bees have settled a sharp blow, at- the same time keeping the mouth of fthe basket where the bees will fall, iutolit. If the first jar is hard enough the 'queen will fall into the basket together' wTith the larger portion of th; bees. ' Hold the basket in the same ,positiou uutil the bees have settled, and , if any settle on the limb continue to jar it; until they have all settled in or on thevbasket. You now have them VeapturuU and can do anything you want with them. I Lave carried a swarm a mile iu this shape without any trouble. If 3'our hiven3 in readiness carry the bees taad pour" them down iu front of it and, assist them to enter by taking hold of the corners of sheet and raising it; after they are all in see that the hive is shadedi from the sun's rays, and you can then leave them to take care of themselves. Far.n, Field and Stockman. FARM AXD GARDEN I NOTES. Sell eggs fresh. Whitewash the nests. Fowls will eat a large quantity of clover. Feed young fowls liberally while growing. Be careful to avoid draugjhts, especial ly on the sitting hens. Hens will eat the parings. of any kind of vegetables if cooked. Copperas is a good medicine to keep on hand for the poultry. Chickens once stunted never regain their vigor, no matter how well fed. From one bushel of corn a hen will produce ten dozen eggs, worth at least $1. Hens will keep iu better health if they are obliged to scratch for a part of a liv ing. Feeding the ducks too much corn and getting them too fat will keep them from laying. Test your fields and see what ferlilizera they need. It is useless to put on fertili zers not needed. It looks as if hard work, of itself, does not count as much as how that hard work is accomplished. The irisis, Euglish, Spanish and Per sian, ought to be transplanted every sec ond or third year. One advantage in keeping a good breed of fowls is that generally they will receive better care. The advisability of asking the Legisla ture to pass a law with the object of con troling the plum knot is discussed by Michigan horticulturists. It is told in the American. Garden that the fuchsia "Storm King" still holds its own as the leading dwarf, double white variety. It is probably the earliest flow ering variety there i3 among the double ones. For market gardeners the following early cabbages are recommended in a bulletin from the Pennsylvania Experi ment Station: Earlj Wakefield, All Sea sons, Henderson's Summer, Earlv Flat Dutch. Cnrnmeal mixed with sweat milk and hard boiled eggs chopped up line makes an excellent ration for young turkeys. If well fed from the start, a turkey should be ready to market by the time they are seven months old. Young strawberry plants should have white roots. Any plants with dark roots should be thrown away. Set them out as early as the ground is ready. Ground bone will be found an excellent iertuizer for young strawberry plants. WISEYOUDS. He who does nothing is very near do ing ill. A forward child shows a backward parent. The everlasting gloomy man can b( ignored. The everlasting funny man is to bt dreaded. Nothing is more refreshing than true politeness. There is too much law and tod little justice extant. The gilder and the refiner of gold see no beauty in a cowslip. All that remains of life is death ; all that remains of death is a handful ol ashes. It is the greatest possible praise to be praised by a man who is himself deserv ing of praise. Some people see everything connected with themselves and their friends a through a magnifying glass. Doing nothing for others is the undo ing of one's self. We do most good to ourselves when doing for othen. In proportion as ouc's nature and emotions develop in complexity does their expression gain in directness aud simplicity. Tell your friend that he is looking thin; intellectual people are often thin. He may think you are indirectly compli menting him. Though a man may not escape his fate, he shall bind her hands in the meshes of her own web and triumph in fulfilling her degrees. We are apt to forget that the only at tribute of a crown is not its lustre; that in proportion as it is precious will it press upon the brows with the weight of responsibility. A free rein may be given ambition if one is strong and sure of touch. Rut otherwise there comes disaster more melancholy than that which befell an at tempt to drive ambition tandem with love. Some are born happy those who die young; some achieve happiness in learn ing how to live; but no one has ever yet had happines thrust upon him not even your friend, the hod-carrier, or your pass ing acquaintance, the tinsmith. Love breeds not with ambition. Love is unique. Let the bears howl around your domicile, but keep this heavenly songster to soothe your soul anil glad your heart on the nights which w ould else be solitary. For love is the only guest that finds a ready corner on the soul's hearthstone. f The "Water Cask" Plant. A celebrated African travt I t mentions that in crossing one of the many sandy deserts in that country he came across the only known living species of aqua bulbo, the "water-cask" plant. The region it inhabits is far from any slream of wa:er, where, as far a.-; the eye e:m reach, nothing cau be seen but heaps of sand. "The sight of this little green creeper, which resembles the common ground ivy in some respects,' he says, "filled me with an intense longing to once more see the green meadowsaud cool, shady forests which we had now left at least .'500 miles behind. For four days we had not seen even so much as a spear of grass or a dried-up cactus, the latter having been quite plentiful tli3 week before. The botanist of the com pany, in examining one of the plauts, fouud thus unexpectedly growing in the centre of a saudy African desert,' noticed what he supposed was a green, bulbous fruit growing under the thick leaves of the creeper, almost resting upon the sand underneath. In making an eiiort to pluck one of these for preservation it. burst with a smart report,throwing water in the face aud over the clothes of the intruding naturalist. Here, surely, wo had a first-class wonder; a plant orowin" in the desert with no other green hin- in sight, carrying its own water-bags with it. Parvin, our chemist, analyzed the water found in some of the bulbs. picked for his inspection, and declared it to be absolutely pure, as much so as distilled rain water. Each bulb or berry con tained about two to four tabtespoonfuls of water. As it happened, we had a sup ply of water sufficient for our journey and to spare, but Williamson, the botau ist, and Parvin, the chemist, with all the enthusiasm of true scientists, plucked about a quart of the watcrberries and ex tracted the water,sometiiing over a pint, and drank it with apparent relish."

Huron, South Dakota, Special. -President II . L. Loucke has addressed a letter to the Dakota Ruralist, of Huron, which thev sav is a good bit of advice to the Order evervwhere. Calling attentiou to the comparative quiet of the enemy m his own State, he details the progress ot battle in Georgia, aud goes on: "In Texas the old device of dividing the membership succeeded for a time. I Jut now that old war horse, Evan Jones, is once more at the helm, and reorganiza tion is'progressiug at a rapid rate. In Mississippi the fight is a fierce one. A new constitution has recently been adopted by the terms of which the two United States Senators will have to be elected by the incoming legislature. Toe present incumbents are opposed to the sub-treasury plan. They naturally seek re-election. But their only hope was in capturing or dividing the Alliance. Their first step was to secure the official organ which is now turned literally against the Alliance and and its principles. Then a couple of officers of the McAllister stripe undertook to stump the State and they had the Alliance doomed. But gallant Frank Burkitt was equal to the emerg ency and through his paper, the Chicka saw Messenger, aud by his voice, is grandly sweeping the State to the utter consternation of the opposition. So it is all along the line. The word has gone out from Wall street that the Alliance must be destroyed by whatever means possible. We should rejoice that though we occasionally find a Judas the great mass of the membership are loyal to our principles and loyal to our leaders so long as they lead in those principles. "One lesson the plutocracy do not feem to have learned, but are fast learn ing now: Let the leader be ever so popu lar, the official organ ever so powerful, the moment they attempt to side-track or depart from the straight line of princi ple their iullueuce with the Alliance ceases, as it ought to. The people are leading and thinking for themselves. In this is the secret of the wonderful revo lution that is sweeping over the nation; in this its omen of sure success. It is au uprising of the people. "A word of warning to the members in our own State. We must not imagine that because all is peace and harmony within our ranks now, that therefore the opposition are idle or have given up the light, and we can rest on our laurels already won. Depend on it, they were never more alert than they are now. Just what their plans are we cannot see. But we can be vigilant and keep a watch all along the line. We know what they are trying iu other States. One of tho dangers we must guard against is the ad mission of selfish political schemers who want to use the Alliance for their own advancement. Use the black ball, and where men have proven untrue to their obligations, expel them. They wil? scarcely attack your officers, tra every such attempt in the past has proven dis astrous to them. Your loyalty is prover bial. I am more inclined to think that their chief attack will be on our press, and for confirmation of that I would re fer you to the opposition to the Union Labor Gazette, a paper that has started out with high aim of becoming a State paper, (and its able advocacy of our principles warrants the belief that it will attain its ambition); and the more recent attacks on that terror yet unborn, bui prospectus has been issued, the Star. Th. cliief attack, however, will be made on that paper that has proved itself such a tremendous dower for good in our cause The Dakota Ruralist, The Alliance never did a wiser thing than when it de cided to send our official organ free to all paid up members. There are a few who do not seem to understand this fully. The Ruralist is as much a part of our missionary work as is our lecture bureau. In paying your dues you do not subscribe for the Ruralist. You simply pay your share of the general expenses, in which, by order of the State Alliance, the Rural, ist is included. It should not only go into the hands of every member of the Alliance, but every farmer and laborer in the State. Next, see to it that you sus tain the local paper or papers in your county that advocate our principles. 'Re member that their best advertising pat ronage is cut oil when they espouse our cause. The opposition will not support a paper that ciocs not support them. Why should you ? It is not wise; it is not business; it is not even good corr mon sense to pay for and take into your house for your family reading the subsi. dized plutocratic organ when for the same money j-ou can have a healthy, in telligent, progressive, loyal reform press. "To sum up, my special warning is; Look out for the presss. "In time of peace, prepare for war" by weeding out your enemies and enthroning your friends." His Ox Wasn't Gored. A good story is told of Bay Middle ton whose name in England is a house hold word for jokes and escapades of all kinds. It seems that in the house was a guest, who, for some reason, did not bring a smoking-jacket with him, and committed the henious offense of appear ing m the smoking-room in a dress coat. iay -Iiddleton vowed vengeance against him, and promised him that if he re peated the offense he woulS tear the coat from his back. The following niht the man appeared in the smoking-room very late, wearing, as usual, hia evening coat. He took his position before, the fire plaoe, with his arms on the mantlepiece gazing contemplatively into the fire, and presenting his coat-tails in a tempting lashion to Bay Middleton. The offer could not be refused, and Bay seized the coat-tails and sp'it the coat up to the collar. The victim never moved or said a word.
