Then the merest superficial cur rying and finishing follows. If a general-currying is resorted to, it is seldom thorough and the comb is harshly applied to the stomach and legs in a way that is very disagreeable to a horse.

Grass seed sown on wel'.-pulverized soil just before a smart shower will need no other covering to cause it to srerminate than that resulting from the rain. It is said! that the best mode of using sulphur about plants, in order to destroy insects, is to sprinkle it on the ground during a warm day, when it will prove beneficial without injuring the plants.

If the cur rycomb is applied it is only to remove the loosened hairs that appear on the sur face and adhere to everything they touch. Such treatment is not humane nor com mendable. It is not even excusable. The horse is entitled to a thorough clean ing after -working in the sweat and dust or being driven through the mud. Such cleaning net only adds to the comfort of the horse, or rather saves him from discomfort, but it is valuable as a piece of economy, for it will do more good than an extra feed of oats. Staking Beans and Peas, i Much unnecessary trouble is often gone to in this direction, writes a correspond ent of the Garden; ht uny rate, such is my impression, and experience confirms it. I will not go so far as to say that half of the beans and p;.a$ grown in gar dens would do equallv well without staking, but I am fully convinced that a j many ?reen leaves hold from seventy large proportion woula succeed without I fivA. L:ffw wi from whiii that attention. I am.. not now speaking of what are recognized as dwarf varie ties, but of such as grow to an average height when staked. A gcod deal de pends on whether the season is' wet' or dry, and especially the situation and character of the land upon which the ing the grape vine are: 1. The facility with which new and rare "varieties may be rapidly in-; created by grafting on old cut, strong and healthy vines. 2. The short time in which fruit can be obtained of new va rieties. 3. The facility by which vines bearing worthless fruit can be changed into valuable bearing vines; and, 4, the fact that varieties that do not grow readily from cuttings can genet ally be grafted easily. The frequent rains and excessive heat will -cause poultry yards to be in a very unhealthy condition unless the surface soil is spaded or turned in some manner, especially on heavy clay locations. If spading is too laborious, then the yards may be benefited by sprinkling them with a solution of copperas or bluestone, dissolving one'pouud of the mineral in two gallons of water, and sprinkling through the nose of an ordinary water ing pot. A f , w spoonfuls of carbolic acid in the solution will be of advantage. Every living active part of a plant contains a certain amount of water. From many juicy parts, ninety per cent. of water can be expelled bv drvmsr; crop is grown. Here both soil and Sub soil are comparatively porous; therefore they do rot long retain moisture, and the situation is high. The conclusion I have ccme tois, shortly, that for the earlier peas, which may be expected to grow, say, a yard in height, it js decidedly best to uf e stakes, but that. for the later crops, except such as grow to a great height, their use is unnecessary. In early spring, when the soil is cold and moist, it is per fectly reasonable that the young plants will grow to greater perfection When five to eighty, while from seeds which we call t-dry ' it is sometimes po?sib e to drive out ten per cent. Part of this water is so intimately combined with the plant st:ucture that, if it is once -expelled, it cannot again be taken up in such a man ner, as to restore the plant to its former condition.. ' The Superintendent of the farm of the On.t ario Agricul tural College states t hat the cost of raising a thoroughbred bull up to eighteen months, of either of eight breeds, is $SO, and that of a heifer of the same age, $75. The cost of raising a thoroughbred ram was $18, and of a ewe, $12. The prices got have been $235 for bulls, $107 for heifers, $32 for rams, and $21 for ewes. The profits realized approximate to $120 for cattle and $10 for sheep. It therefore stands supported and, to some extent, shelte ed i as a striking fact in Ontario ; live stock by stakes, but as the season advances they do equally well without any attempt at stakirg. A day or two since I had iocca sion to be among some peas which ' were grown without stakes, and they jwere certainly more fruitful than others srow- iug ju a similar situation, out neia up to bleach by sun and wind. With a succulent vegetable like a pea I take it this bleaching and drying proaess is juvt the thing to avoid, and it can be avoided by allowing the crop to mature under the protection of its foliage and in prox imity to the soil. The same thing applies to runner bean.. Each year I stake a portion and 1'eave a portion to grow on 'without stakes, and with no attention except occasionally pinching back! the runners. Last season I was especially successful in this treatment, and although H is too early this year to speak positively, present comparison is greatly in favor of beans Without stakes. So sar as lam personally concerned, except fori the. earliest planting of peas, I should ifot hesitate to plant as many of either vege table as was likely to be required, ad' grow them on without the aid of stakes. There isa greater secret in their produc tion than stakes. These we can success fully dispense with, but manure to enrieh the foil we cannot; When stakes are u-ed, ha el is probably the best wood fir the purpose at any rate it is the most popular. There is no need, however, jto be confined to this. The wood from hedges of several years' growth will oft4n make good staking wood. I do not mean white or black thorn, or spiny wood 4f that class, as they would be very ob.' eel ion able to handle, but such as elm,maple, and other thornless woods which are fre quently found in hedges. The wooll should, pf course, always be cut when the loaves are off. as to use stakes with the dead foliage upon them is both awll- breeding. that with eight distinct breeds of .cattle there has been realized a per head profit of $120, or one and One-half more than theost of production. The old fashioned dadier churn is a barbarous relic of the past. There is no necessity for tugging away for j an hour in order to make the butter come. In fact, milk is churned no longer the cream being separated from it and the butter being made by compelling the cream to fall fro n the top of the churn to the bottom, instead of plunging' into it with a dasher bored with holes. Hence, in procuring a churn, get one that revolves, as it will greatly lessen the labor and afford the best conditions for success. Rural Home. It has for some years been known that trichina not only infest hojjs, but rats as well, and as hogs often eat rats it has been suggested that from them most of the trichinosis in hogs has come. Recent investigations in Europe confirm this sug gestion, and give -evidence that trichino sis is due entirely to rats. A committee of Vienna physicians found in Moravia thirty-seven per cent, of rats contained trichinosis; in Vienna and its environs, ten per cent, and in Lower Austria about four per cent. The well-known voracity of the hog and its special fondness for meat cause it to feed upon the flesh and excrements of other animals infested with these parasites, and especially rats. The practical application of the results of this invetigation is to destroy all rats, and to exercise especial caution about the careless storage of grain and the ac cumulation Of litter about hog pens.
