FOR THE FA KM ASD HOH Keeping Peafowls. , Peafowls are not only ornamental : but excellent for the table. They are vlow in reaching maturity, and tne hen seldom lays before she is two yea,rs old. The , w- - 1 J first, but as they begin to feather almost or tHo fifnrr. C f 1 1 f r tli ott . i-astni-ro f ron nont fecdiqg or they will perish; They soon begin to fly, and roost onj the highest positions Jthey can find. The hen lays from ten to twenty eggs, jaccording ,'to should be fed the same as yung turkey Sj but meat, finely chopped!, should be given three times a week after the first week. The male is a quarrelsome " bird in the barnyard, arid often makes short work of young chicks. Thjey are more ornamental than profitable, though the tail feathers may be pulled j for sale as soon as the molting season begins. r I - t ' Iliiits on flaying, -j r In general, says a Cultivator contribu tor, it is a good practice to keep closja up with the scythe while haying. Or in other words to stop the mower, and pro ceed to getting in as soon asj the hay jis ,tnade enough for the purpose. : Much unnecessary labor is often saved by so do- ate in the to shelter a hedge-row of young ever green or other trees. Any plant with a mutilated root needs protection from the sun and wind; some need it much more than; others ; some for but a few days, as as they quickly establish vigorous roots, while others need a whole season or more to recuperate in. . To this lattei class belong young trees. We may be sure) that we have not done our part until all newly-set trees are in some man ner protected from the-scorching sun and drying winds of our intense midsummer. The ! young orchard 'may be regularly planted to corn and cultivated as any other field, omitting the horse cultivation in those spaces in which the roots oi trees are located. ; mg. likely to be to get hay have it Wet Especially is this so season, -when the weather is showery. One need not fear in quite green rather than to "with rain. The real iuices of the crass ;will not be of much injury ti the hay. Water is a great damage to 1 hay or grass after it is cut. , "When there is no water on thehay it will not j be irJ ju ed so much by three weeks' heating in the mow as by lying three days in hot, rainy weather upon the ground. The heating in the mow injures only a small portion, that being the top, where! the vapor collects and cools, while. that out in the; rain is damaged all alike. ! A good practice in haying is to mow in the morning what 'can be readily handled during the day. Early in the day air that which was out over night, and haul in before. the dew falls. Rake and bunch the hay cut in the jfore rjart of the day, during the hottest part of the afternoon. This will make jverv much . - I ' " - during the night, and only needs turning up from the bottom to be in condition to get in early the next day. When the in dications are for a dull day on the mor row, it is advisable to get in a3 much of the present day's mowing, as possible. In bunching hay . in good weather the . horse rake will answer every purpose. V Household Hintg. To remove mildew, soak . in butter milk and spread on the grass in the sun. If the oven is too hot when baking, place a small dish of cold water in it. To prevent flat-irous from scorching, wipe them oa a cloth wet with kerosene. Sal volatile or hartshorn will restore colors taken out by acids. It may be dropped upon any garment without doing harm. , ; . To cleanse spots from.1 broadcloth or woolen goods take half an ounce each of glycerine, alcohol and , sulphuric acid, two ounces of aqua ammonia, iialf an ounce of powdered castile soap and add water enough to make one quart of the mixture. Use with brush or sponge and rinse with pure water. To clean marble the following is re commended: Common soda, two pounds, powdered pumicestono and finely powdered chalk one pound each. Pass through a fine sieve and mix to a thin paste with water. Rub it well over the marble and the stains will be removed, then wash the marble over with soap and water and it will be as clean as it was at first. Protecting: Young Trees. Mr. W. D. Boynton, of. Wisconsin, writes to The Indiana Farmer: Young trees heed protection the first summer. It is, in' fact, the most critical time with them. The winters are bad enough, but the summers are often jvvorse.! The sun and drying winds are, fully as fatal in summer as the alternate freezing and thawing of winter. Mulching is a great thing for the roots, but the tops and the trunks of. young trees taken from the thickly planted nursery are in no way protected, and they miss such protection very much. The greatly reduced root can not supply the top with th requisite moisture or sap, while the sun j and wind make constant and heavy drafts upon it. I tnd that plantingccrn among young newly set trees is a great help to them the first summer. Trees four or five feet high will be well shaded by corn growth j aunng xne urjesc, nouest weather ct summer. t .Growing corn also breaks the force of the wind. It prevents the stems from being wrenched about in the usual way of exposed trees'. It m"ay always be noticed, too, that thick corn growth gathers and retains moTsture. The air is more vaporous and cooV near the grbund, which is a desirable condition for tree-, growth. I think this is an excellcn.rVay NO LflJJY I?, RPy BEATJ. TIFuX without CLEAR, WHITE COMPLEXION.
