â- T y TAfiM Airo GABDElf. the A good farm maxim : " Bemove canse and the effect will cease." Humane landlords concern themselves in the prosperity and happiness of their tenants and the laborers under them. A writer is contideni that the day is fast approaching when people will see that Ber- muda grass is a blessing instead of a pest. Potatoes keep better in heaps covered a foot thick with straw and a few inches of earth than with less straw and moreearth. People suffering from weakness of nerves â- hould seek relief in eating largely of cel- ery, bleached, when not in season, onions. The less sceenings fed to brooding mares the better. There is always more or less foal seed in screenings that is not good for them. In all planting it should be remembered that character of soil determines growth of loots and that a young fruit tree is not going to grow directly through a hardpan. String beans may still be planted for a late supply, as the vines grow quickly and bear well during the warm weather. English bop prospects are not good. There are complaints of tly and weak vines where cultivation has been at all indif- ferent. Pinch back the cuds of the lima bean mnners as soon as they reach four or live feet in height, so as to force them to send oat laterals. There is no curculio- proof plum. The process of jarring the trees is always neces- sary, no matter what variety of plum may be grown. Early rising, with the work done in part before the heat of the day, and a good rest at noon, will save the horses during the warm days. It is ([uite generally tinderstood that the Canadians are now producing cheese which â- ells at a higher price in the British market than that made in Wew York. Sheep for breeding next season will do well on pasture aloue, but a mess of oats at night will compensate for any lack of pas- turage where the Hock is large. Shade trees sometimes recjuire attention. Wood ashes should be applied around all Unds of shade trees at least once a year. The hedges will albo be benedtted by ashes. If the clover hay is musty and conso- qaently dusty, it ought to be sprinkled in the manger ; if too musty, it should be thrown aside for timothy or some other bay. Turkeys hatched aa late in the season as July will be difficult to raise, owing to the attacks of lice, unless given careful atten- tion. They will also fail to attain large â- ize by the end of the year. Age has much to do with the proiitable milk production of a cow. The best age to purchase is from 4 to 6 years, and it is not generally protitable to keep them beyond 8 or 'J years old. Do not use a blind mare for breeding pur- poses. The colt may be- all right, but â€" blind horses are of little value. This would also apply to breeding mares affectisd with other diseases likely to be inherited. A fruit grower now ships his berries largely in pint boxes. Naturally enough the smaller bulk carries better and the berries go on the market in splendid con- dition. Hawks are very fo»id of young turkeys, and wtMin once they get a taste of their tender meat and learn where a gang "uses," will swoop down and carry one off every day. Hard water may be softened by adding sal ammoniac. Uue can also use spirits of aal ammoniac, one teaspoonful to half a gallon of water. l''or washing purposes the dose must be stronger. Flies are terrible annoyances to stock during this season, and every stable should be supplied with screens to windows and doors. They are not expensive and will enable thu horses and cows to secure rest. Good clover hay is always considered equal to any other. It is the standard by which all other grasses are compared and no farm is considered fully supplied for winter that has not had a crop of clover grown upon it. Butteriue, as it is called in England, is used BO extensively that the dairymen have applied to Parliament for a law compelling its name to be changed from butteriue to magarine. They think they can head it off in that way. Of blackcaps a writer finds Houhegan and Gregg both good. Souhegan is very hardy and productive, berry a good shipper and of fair quality. Gregg has winter killed more or less, but nevertheless has always borne a good crop of very large berries. To preserve stakes, posts, etc., placed in the earth, from going rotten or decaying, dip the ends of them in the following mi.v ture : Heat three gallons of tar in an iron pot, then add one pound of lime and one pound of coal powder and stir thoroughly. The " English Cluster " is a line hop to yield; they generally grow so much in wood structures from decay and preserving for them a light brown color, there is per- haps nothing so efficacious as crude petro- leum put on copiously with a coarse brush. What are termed " washes" are liable to scale off by oxposnre to frost and rain. After a ten mile journey along a dusty road, if your horse turn aside of his own accord to a watering trough, do not yank him around with the comment that he can wait till he gets home. He can not wait and not suffer for it. Let him drink, not too much perhaps, but just enough. He will be in much better condition at the end of the trip. And so will the driver if he be possessed of any kind feelings at all. The man who carefully blanketed his cows while being milked, so the flies would not bite them and cause them to kick over pail and milker, might have obtained really humane and at the same time lasting com- fort to the cows by allowing them to rest in a darkened shed. The idea may really be carried with proht to providing such refuge in pasture where biting flies are numerous. The subject is especially directed to dairymen. Beware of bogus tree agents. Make them show reliable credentials before you pur- chase ; the best remedy against imposition is more intelligence on the part of the peo- ple generally. They should know enough to discriminate between the genuine and the counterfeit ; between honest, reliable, trustworthy agents of nurseries of estab- lished reputation and those who succeed in imposing on the ignorant by selling imag- inary fruits at wild prices. There are times when horses will gall that have worked for years without doing so. This may be due to weather, altered condition of harness, to peculiar state of blood, skin, etc. In such a case give a tablespoonful of the following powder three times a day in feed or otherwise : Powdered ibubarb, pure powdered sulphate of iron and cream of tartar, of each six ounces ; mix. Use some gall powder to heal the galls, which may be done while the animal is at work. In planting apple trees many dig a bole one half or two-thirds largeenoughandjam the roots in, leaving them at the bottom turned up more or less and cramped and crowded, then throw in a lot of coarse manure and till up with common earth and think they have set a tree, when they might about as well have thrown the tree away. The roots should be all straightened out and have plenty of room and the soil worked with the lingers among them till spaces are tilled and then till up with soil. If weeds exist on grass lands they should be pulled up if the mower cannot be used, as the seeding of the weeds will soon destroy the value of the grass plot. No weed should ever be allowed to produce seed, sajfs the Philadelphia liciurU. Theo- retically, good ; practically, absurd. True enough no weed should be allowed to seed. But by the time the farmer had completed the pulling process on some farms the pro- perty would be in the hands of his children of the third and fourth generation. Don't be in a hurry to leave your farm even if you have had to pull pretty hard and both ways at once to make ends meet. To go from a farm to the city and lind all the little things that cost you nothing on the farm have to be bought is something many never think about. A little kindling wood to make the uioraiug Qre, a cup of milk to make something, a little piece of butter, an egg or two and scores of little things which you as farmers think nothing of, when they have to bo bought amount to quite a sum at the year's end. The plan of judging of the merits of cows by a comparison of " records," instead of relying entirely on pedigree and color marks, is adding greatly to the value of our pure milk cows. Not only the quantity, but the (juality also, is considered, and so rapid has been the improvement that som.3 of the records are seemingly marvellous. Make a compost heap upon which to place the refuse of the farm, such as tops of vegetables that are not tit to feed stock, rakings and leaves, and add a proportion of manure occasionally. Upon the heap throw soapsuds, urine and other liquids, care being taken to have all material cut line. Dry dirt may also be added as an absorbent. It will prove excellent for the garden next spring, as its tine condition will permit of it! being spread evenly. An inquirer asks the best summer and winter diet for chickens and states that he feeks cracked corn, shells and garbage. Corn should not be given in summer. The best diet in summer is meat once a day with chopped grass, cooked potatoes or other bulky food. Feed twice a day. In winter give meat and cooked ground grain with potatoes or chopped cabbage morning and wheat and corn at night. Eat hens will not lay. Make the hens scratch and work for grain. Never keep feed before them. Garbage, gravel, ground bone, shells, etc., are also excellent. More care should bo had by those who I pock butter in tubs to have them new and bluster that they pick very nicely, and y^ell soaked in brine before any butter is pickers sometimes can average five or six put into them. Careful dairymen put a boxes a day in picking. For the amount of piece of thin muslin over tho top of the vines this variety generally yields bettor . butter and then sprinkle salt on it. It is a than any other. better plan to put the muslin on the Buckwheat is an excellent crop for reduc- j bottom, well wet, and a layer of salt and ing weeds and for turning under as green then pack the butter on top.

CURKBNT TOPICS. Tn£ street railway managers at Syracuse are sufficiently progressive to adopt elec- tricity for a line about to be constructed without waiting until every other city in the country has done so. They have selected the Dafoor Spragne system, which involves the use of a trolley running upon overhead wires. The cars are to be lighted by electricity, and electric push buttons will enable the passengers to signal their desire to get off. ScHi.NN.4 Mauoha Saltek, Mayor of Argonia, Kan., is having a very successful administration. When she was elected to her present office her enemies predicted that she would make a failure of her effort to run tho municipal affairs of Argonia. Up to the present time she has made uo great blunders. She is, however, tired of the burdens of office and says that when her present term expires she will retire to private life and leave the government of Argonia to the care of the sterner sex. Kalakaua, the jocund monarch of the Sandwich Islands, may have signed the new Hawaiian Constitution under duress, but it contains one potent clause which will doubtless be a valuable consolation to his perturbed spirits, /. e., " The King can- not be sued or held to account in any court or tribunal of the kingdom." This leaves the door wide open for the two most phe- nomenal phases of His Dusky Highness' activity, the amassing of " I. O. U.'s" and an illimitable programme of royal sprees. Col. Joii.n H. Pieiice, who lives at Plants- ville, a little manufacturing town in New England on the New Haven and North- ampton road, is preparing to astonish the world by his inventive genius. He claims that he has proved the practicability of establishing passenger traflic between this country and England by means of pneu- matic tubes placed under the ocean. He thinks that in the future a man will be able to breakfast in New York and take lunch in London, All that Pierce needs to establish his invention, so he says, is money. But we regret to note in the pic- tures of inventor Pierce a slight resem- blance to Charles J. Guiteau. Tin: mysterious death of Mrs. Cleveland s pet monkey during that lady's absence from home is a matter that will doubtless receive investigation when the Mistress of the White House returns. It has often been observed that pet dogs, cats und par- rots, cherished by their mistresses, but secretly detested by thu master of tho house, are subject to an unusually high death rate when the woman that dotes on them is absent and her husband is at home. It is perhaps charitable to supirase that tho President of 1)0,000,000 people has been too busy with public affairs, and with preparations for his journey to the south and west, to connive at the taking off of the monkey. But a straight certificate of death will be retjuired before Mr. Cleveland can be wholly relieved of suspicion. TiiK arrest of a liussian princess in Paris on the charge of stealing, shows that even the nobility has its kleptomaniacs. Thoy tell of an English Prime Minister, now- dead and gone, who was given to this weak- ness. He could not see a mir <>4 Kloves or a snuff box or any portatne article lying about without feeling an almost irresistible desire to put it in bis pocket. It is said that one of the duties of bis private secre- tary when they went home was to search his pockets to see if he had picked up any- thing that did not belong to him. Klepto- mania is usually called stealing, but it is a fact admitted by medical men that klep- tomania is a disease. Victims of it have been known to abstract the most useless things, and even things that were of the smallest value. Wateuciikhs can be successfully grown where the ground may be alternately drained and flooded, but it will grow on the margin of any running streams after it is once established. Or, ditches may be dug from the main stream so that tho water will be a few inches deep and about two feet wide, and the seeds sown or tho plants set in these ditches, after which it will take care of itself. Peter Henderson stated some years ago that many a farmer in the vicinity of New York realized more profit from the water cress, cut from the margin of a brook running through his farm, in two or three weeks of spring, than from a whole year's hard labor in growing corn or potatoes. InKi.ANii is famous for its stout and its whiskey, and it also promises to become so for its bottles. An Irishman. Mr. Francis Hazlett, has invented, and an Irish com- pany have brought out, a mechanical apparatus for blowing glasi by the mouth. Hitherto it has been considered impossible to improve upon tho human lungs, and so fhe glassblowers of the world have gone on puffing themselves away at 42 years of age, which is tho low average of life among the handicraftsmen. The new invention dispenses er.tirely with the human lungs, and injects the air into tho molten glass by an air-pump not unlike an ordinary syringe in shope a»d action. This is fastened to the ordinary blow pipe and makes little difference to the workman in handling. Manifestly the invention is of odvantage to the workman, and as to the employer, it will enable him to produce bottles at two and a half times greater speed. YoD have often read wondt-ons and lying tales of justice administered with unerring judgment in Turkey. Here, says the Lon- don correspondent of the New York Sun, is a true story of Turkish juitioo : A drover complained to a oroBS-legg«d magnate at Rodosto that ho had been fobbed of two oxen. Three Turkish gendatmes were sent to recover the property, and 8Don discovered two peasants going off wfch two oxen. One of the men was shot deacl. The other escaped, and tho policemen hastily buried their man and came back in triumph with two oxen. But the man sati those oxen had not been stolen from bin, and it was plain that the peasant had leen shot for driving his own cattle. The jituation was uncomfortable, but Turkisk diplomacy fixed things. Another man was found to swear he had been robbed of llie oxen, and they were turned over to lira, which re- lieved the gendarmes from guilt. They did not go unpunished, howA-er, for they had buried tho dead peasant ;vithout first washing the body, which in Turkey is a crime except in case of a soHier killed in bottle. For that negligence they were im- prisoned. The humane efforts of the United States and the Canadian Governments to protect the lives of codfish and mackerel are worthy of recognition by Mr. Bergh's society. Canada punishes the American who catches fish, and the United States imposes a fine upon the Canadian who tries to sell fish. The real secret of the trouble is that Americans have a depraved and unnatural appetite for fish, and contuma- ciously persist in eating them in defiance of the well-meant effort of tho two Govern- ments to extirpate the evil of fish-killing. This evil should be attacked at the root, and fish-eating be made a crime punishable by imprisonment without the alternative of a fine. If the possession of fish bones, scales, sounds or tails, or of fishing rods, lines, bait or little brown jug were made prima, facie evidence of guilt, the fish habit would be as completely destroyed as is the whiskey habit in a prohibition town â€" Bangor, Me., for example. The present half-way method of reform only makes fish come more expensive to the American people without in the least lessening their reprehensible liking for the article. â€" ^^ Y. Stattdard. The parting of the two Emperors at Gastien was, as the cable describes it, ex- ceedingly touching. The veteran Prussian was " overcome with emotion," and " kissed Emperor Francis Joseph again and again." A pair of lovers separating after a month of billing and cooing by the seaside could not have been more demon- strative. Possibly the much-kissed Aus- trian forgot in the excitement of the moment that his effusive adorer some few years ago hrashed him most effectually at Sadowa, deprived him of the headship of Germany, which his family had held for hundreds of years, and left to him only the empty shadow of his former greatness as a German sovereign. Yet the humilia- tions of that day when the fate of Jermany was decided as much by tho rapid march- ing of the Prussians and the dilatoriness of some of Benedek's legions as by the actual confiict of arms cannot already be entirely blotted from the memory of the loser in the fight. The venerable Prussian is said to still cherish the remembrance of the first Napoleon's despotic oppression of Prussia in the curly days of tho century ; and it may be imagined that something more than kissing will be needed to wholly cure the Hapsburg kaiser of a suppressed longing for his day of revenge for a defeat that is not yet twenty years old. Thomas Nelso.n & Sons, American jfents of the Oxford Bible Society, say that the sales of the revised Old Testament are steady ; they are not increasing, but hold their own. They are not, however, to be compared with the sales of the King .lames version. Tho revised New Testament is practically dead, in spite or perhaps as a result of the enormous sale when it first appeared. The American Tract Society people say that only 1 per cent, of tho Bibles sold are of the revised version. Tho price of the New Testament has been re- duced from 81.50 to 80 cents, and from 40 cents to 15. James Pott & Co. report that they do not even keep the revised ver- sion in stuck. The American Bible Society is reijoired by its charter to pub- lish the Bible " in common use." It has been waiting to see if the revised version became the one in common use. It has not as yet, and is not regarded as likely to. -\n officer of the society, however, says that tho revised version will always have a sale as a good commentary. The American Baptist Publication Society reports a steady sale of the revised version, to be used mainly as a companion to the King James. Tho Methodist Book Concern does not handle it atall and never has a call for it. A represen- tative of Thomas Whittoker, when con- sulted, called the revised version a literary rather than a commercial success, and did not believe it would ever supersede the King James.

A story of the rising generation : In one of tho sul»iirban towns there is a young ladyâ€" quito a young lady she is, too whose somewhat boyish aspect and uino- cently masculine tastes have won for hee the soubriquet of Tommy. Not long ago she gave a little party to the children of the neighborhood, and in preparing for tha event her mother, in order to get at an idea of the sort of young people lier daugh- ter wonld like to have attend, told her to prepare a list of those she wished to invite. Tommy went to work with ^e8t and m Ik short time finished a pretty long list. " There, mamma,' saiil she, with an air of conclusiveness, " there's every singluona that 1 want to come.' Her mother took the document and read it with an astonishment that increased aa her eye approached the end of the list. Tommy had only one girl's name on tha whole list ! " Why, Tommy," her mother exclaimed, "do you want none but boys to come to your party ? What are you thinking of ? " "Well, mamma," said Tommy, "you know girls aren't any fun!" "But would your boys have fun if thero weren't any girls ? " "Weren't any girls? Why, there'll bo liitty Bickerstaff and me, and that ought to be girls enough ! " Tho mother, however, insisted upon tho nomination of a fall quota of girls ; but in order to get it she had to make inquiries herself. Tommy's information was deficient. â€" liotton 'I'rimscript. • ♦ _ Couldn't WIthHtaiiil Teiiiptutiun.
