Cowt on Poor Soll, In many sections of South Jersey the milch cows are stalked in the pastures int!adof being allowed to pick the MS at will. This is partly due to the fact that but few fences arc nsrd, hat principally to a lack of erasa. which is necessary to the wellkeeping of a good cow under the pasturing vstem.

Potato sai tbt Totato Beetle. Tu re is not inereau among iaruiers o: potato beetle r.ow that there was when hrst made tlKur appearance in our ro(ato fields. Farmers have learned that by ittle proper etfort they can destroy thoir oHsnrinz so as to prevent any great damage , to the crop. A poison that will adhere, in minute quantities, to the leaves and he rfaten bv the larva will soon exterminate ithem. For manr -years paris greeu was 'timost universally tsed for that purpose. btzt the last tw or three years have Introduced a poison that seems to be rferred. We refer to Ixndon purple. Charles D. Zimmerman, an enthusiastic entomologist, in a pajer read before the last pnnuai meetiiiK ui vm nesieru -iew lun: Horticultural iMx ietj , refers to the poisoc, is follows: Ix-ndon purple is a cheaper article and laite as effective. It is very finally rowlered, and more llour. can be ueed than for 'faris green; alxutoae to forty, or in water ne pound to from 10V) to 200 gallons, it is otaoluble." sFiofes-or William H.

Fowl Raising on m X-arge Scale. The New England Farmer gives an inter esting description of the great hennery on the estate of John W. Brooks, East Milton, Mass. There are four ranges of coops, eacn '0 feet long, with yards attached, fenced !th vwl r.irVpt fences ninefeet hieb. Flach building has a roof slopin northward, and U fifteen feet wide bv KÜ feet lonl. The nnthorn aiit Is nrovided with lanre win dows occupying nearly half the from side of the buildinir. and also wnn ewainK wuweu ventilators, which can fce ail tnrown open or closed together by a simple Kiacumenu A passage way, three feet wide, extends uie whole leneth of the kuildings on the north ;,! tmm hii nassare the fowls are partit nnn bv a lata lence. larouzu muu i - . : . .. i t.su thev reach their keads to feed froai the mill tmm nmtnral on the floor of the pass age, Trenting ttie lowis irora BcraiuiniK and soilinstheir feed, while at the same time the trays and drinking pans are easuy accessible to the attendants. Fiich coop isSxl2 fetL with a vard about 8x20 feet; as there are some ehrhty of these coops, each able to ac commodate fifteen liens, mere is iwm enourfi for over 1.200. The appontHeTs of the building are excellent; water is i?pliedbva powerful wind-mill; everything u Vnnt in most excellent order and deanliTie. I. ie-ht Mrshraa. brown and white Leg horn, Plymouth Ilock, Polish and Cochin China are the breeds kept. The brt layers of -eggs are fhe Leghorns and the first cross from a Brahma hen with a Lermorn cuck; in fart thi cross is a verv useful owe both for eegs and for poultry, coming to early maturity and beim? verv productive. The method of feeding the fowls deserves notice: they are fed in the morning a warm tu ess nfrft food, consistine of bouea roots mixed with meal, shorts and beef scraps in the afternoon whole erain, eetheroafc, barley, corn or wheat, giving them change from day to day. They nave Always ciean water in the nans, and cracked eyster shell and cabbage or some raw vegetables always in reach to pick at. Hut tne naesi attractive. as well as the most neculiar feature of thi establishment, is the artificial hatching and brooding apparatus. The incubator used here is known as the "perfect hatcher; it is heated bv a con nie of lamps at one end the ctrs are in travs under ft rank of hot water, and the temperature is regulated by & metallic rtnl over the emrs. which, by its contraction or expansion, breaks or com pletes an electric circuit, which, acting on a lookwork escanement. eives newer enough to open or close the ventilators.

These "mothers" are of wood, lined with soft woolen doth for feath rs and their life's blood J warm water circulating from heater. Farm and Workshop Kotst. Water-wheels yield from 50 to 1 ier tent of the power of water. It is estimated that the acreage in winter wheat is 4 per cent, greater than last year. . All the flocks of merino heoj in Add I son County; Vt., are assessed at $i5 jer head The parasite known as the Notherus de atrova millions of the eKJT of the canker worm. Ureetlinir from immature animals is creat mistake. It is the foundation of Ue gencracy. A farmer should so arrange his kitchen carden that he can use both plough and cut nvator in its management. Common hydraulic cement mixed with oil forms a good paint for roow and out buildings. It is waterju-oof and incombust ible. A Merino ram, crossed on a flock of com mon sheep, will double the yield of wool through the first cross aJone, thus paying for the ram the first season. An intelligent farmer says that the leaves and stalks from an acre of corn are worth as much to feed to stock as the hay which could be raise upon the same amount of land. The two implements which do the most toward liberating the fertilizing minerals from the soil are the harrow and cultivator. The more these arc used the less weeds we shall have, and the mare fertile will be the land. The power of a steam engine is calculated by multiplying together the area of the piston in inches, the mean pressure in pounds per square inch, the leng:h of the stroke in feet and the number of strokes per minute, and dividing by 33,000. To make sandpaper, crush glass under a runner, and sift it into about six sizes; coat a good quality of Manila paper with thin glue, and dust the pulverized glass over it. Semetimes two coats of glue and glaes are thus applied to the paper. The following is recommended as a cure for garget in cows: Flight drops of tincture of aconite dropped on a piece 6f bread and mixed with the food at night. Next morning four drops more given in the same manner will generally complete the cure. Jn propagating honeysuckles cutting -of wood when nearly ripe will strike if insorted in a shady border in the autumn and duly watered. Perhaps the most successful mode of propagating is by layers jegged in moist soil in the autumn, when the leaves commence falling. Cow manure contains 1 per cent, more water than horse manure. Horse manure contains about 3 per cent f nitrogen, while cow ruaaure contains about 2i per cent. Horse manure contains l percent, of phosphoric acid, while about oue-half of 1 per cent, is contained in cow manure. Asiatic breeds of fowl lay .eggs from deep cbocidate through every shade of coffee color, while the Spanish, Hamburg and iudian breeds are known for the pure white ofihe.eggshelL A cross, however remote, with Asiatics will cause even the last named breeds to lay an egg slightly tinted. To preserve leather hose, belting, etc, in good .condition, freely apply crude castor oil, waraifld.df possible. It increases the pliability of .the leather and the cling of belts. It dZe not. become rancid, and rats avoit it lu boae. it-should be pumped in under considerable pressure, thus thoroughly filling the ore. The London Newa says: "Of aU jxmltrv breeding the.naring of the goose ir. favorable ai tuitions. is said to be the least troubles iue and the most profitable. It is not surprising, therefose, that the trade has-cf late year been enormously developed. Geese will live .tad, to.a certain extern, thrive on the coarsest grasses." Tamil? ropes, it has been showji, slhj-htly diminishes their tenacity agai net a pulling strain, but a tarred rope maintains a kigh average of tenacity nuch longer than an.untarred one, by reason of the protection the tar affords against atmospheric aiid other causes of deterioration. The quantity f tar found most suitable is about 10 t cent, of the weight of the rope. In setting out currant hushes care hould he exercised not to place any buds under ground, or they will push out so manv stickers. Currant are great feeders, and should be highly manured. To destroy the worm, steep one tablespoonful of hellebore in a pint of water, and sprinkle the bushes. Two or three sprinklings are sufficient for one season. The novel coaches which were put Into extensive use in Philadelphia about a year ago are to be discarded. They proved to be not strong enough, and the Company is convinced that no coach carrying eight persons can be made light enough to he drawn over pavements by one horse. Two-horse vehicles of sturdier build are to be substituted.

After the middle of October rainy days are ooked for. such as are common in Pennsyl vania in April and May, "without thunder and lightning, which are never known here.

In winter the oranges ripen and are harvested. Strawberries come naturally about Christmas, and other berries are in their prime. Then stränge come in large numbers to enjoy tne sou air ana Dairay weather and the fruits. I can best give you an idea of the capabilities of the sou and climate by describing Colonel llollisters ranch, near Santa Barbara, where it was my nrivileire to spend a few days recently. Col onel llollister has about -4,500 acres in this tract, most of it used for sheep and cattle erazine. Iiis resiaence is lariie, ele . ... . , i. gantly furnished, supplied with mod ern convenience, wun Diinara room. library, etc., situated in a glen at the base of the coast range, facing the sea. The Colonel settled here about ten years years aeo and he has an earthly paradise, sure enough. Fifteen thousand almond trees will this year yield about fifty tons of fruit; twelve acres of orange trees will produce about 2,000 boxes of fruit ready for the market, although but eight years of age You will enjoy the privilege of a walk through his well-tilled oranM erove, with its rich dark green foliage and great cluster of green fruit, surrounded by a great hedge ot eucalyptus and evergreen trees like a wall seventy feet high. He has also large walnut and persimmon and. olive orchard?, the yield of which I did not learn. About thirty men are employed on the ranch and they carry on wagon-making, brick-making, blacksruithing. fanning, herding, butter making, etc About his residence is an exquisite flower garden filled with rare plants, and over the verandas twine jessamines, roses and other vines in ever-bloom ing fragrance, the whole like a pern in a set tine of date palms of large size, while in front is an open vista down the long carriage drive to the ocean, lhe nouse is cnarrouig ly located in the mouth or a canj-on. sbel tered from winds and fogs, at the base of mountains nearly 4,00.) feet high. Almost every variety of fruits and vegetables are crown upon the ranch, &nd game, large and small, abounds. Deer, wild hogs, wild cats coyotes, quail, rabbits, squirrels, etc.. are found without difliculty on parts of the plantation, and at nearly every meal some of these are served upon the table, the Colonel's sons, with their tutor, being early risers and spending an hour or two in the hunt nearly every morning. For Walker's Benefit. Washington Capital. People in the rural Districts may have some profound respect for that suierior es sence dignified by the name of Civil Service Reform, or "snivel" service, as Conkling calls it, but we trained theologians at N ash ington who see the practical operations of the creed, are likely to view the whole thing with profound disgust I was forcibly struck with this tact the other day, when pale-faced young man attached to the mor tality bureau dropped a few remarks about certain features of the CensusOtlice manage ment "Did you see that interview that Town send had with General Walker about the dismissal of census clerks?" "Where Walker groans so because the lack of money compels him todicharge some women who are defenseless widows with families depending on them, and with out any other snpiiort? "Just so. That s what I mean. Now here's the point. Of course Walker's mellow-hearted fellow, and I'm sure he was perfectly sincere in this regret He has been pretty free, too, of political influence, and lias tried to make the service depend as much as possible on merit But he ought to know that a heap of this sympathy is mis)la.ced gush. Perhaps he doesn't know it, ut it's a fact nevertheless, that the so-called Civil Service laws are openly violated in his Department more than anywhere else I know of. One of these laws requires that no two members of a family shall be in the employ of the Departments.where they are supposed to be pooling their earnings for a common family support. Now, just look at it, and see the gross injustice inflicted on poor, deserving clerks when they go to the wall to accommodate the violations of this rule. At one time the Irish family had four of its members fastened onthe Departments in one way or another. I Know a family in the northern part of town where the mother gets $100 a month in the Treasury, the daughter gets $75 a month in the census, and the son gets $75 a nionth as a Senate page total, $250 for a family of three, or $3,000 a year. Of course they're gettinc rich. Then I know a case where a father and daughter from North Carolina draw $150 a nionth from the census; another where a lady clerk in the same Department has a father with a fat where the

17 In M : T U cases, in fact, are numerous. Perhaps Walker knows nothing about it, and perhaps he does. We'll give him the benefit of the doubt These ladies may all be excellent clerks, but it is clear enough that they have no such bitter need of the salary as widows with families and no other means of support. If Walker wants public sentiment to sustain him he had better apply his pruning knife to these family duplicates before he strikes down women who are not only defenseless, but have no family aids of this kind. You might just launch this opinion now. because in a few weeks the whole census bureau is to be reduced over 50 per cent, and a little regard to these proprieties would be accepted by the public as a further evidence of Walker's good faith find respect for law and justice." . ' Want of Sleep. ' !'ew York Graphic.) Are yon afflicted with insomnia? Perhapa you have too much time for sleep. Perhaps you depend too much on sleep for rest and recuperation. For sleep is not the sole rest of used up nerves. Sociability, congeniality, and the enjoyment of good coiujjeny rest the body quite as much as sleep. The dTeary monotony of life in many a household involving this tumbling into bed wiih the mechanical regularity of a machine at U or 10 o'clock in the evening does not always rest weary bodies. "Karly to bed and nearly to rise" does not always make a man healthy, wealthy or wise. J umbers of organizations are only capable of five or six hours of sleep at a time, and their early lying down to rest is often succeeded by an early waking up and a consequent restless toeting for hours preoe4liig daybreak. These practicers of punctuality are often surprised after breaking their own cast-iron rules, and pass ing two or three later hours of mirth and j&Jlity past their usual bedtime, to find themselves even more refreshed in the morning than u.saal. The relaxation of sociability has rested them more than would sleep or an attempt to sleep. But those are conditions not go easily realized in the average family. In fashionable life we have a formal, exhausting, and mechanical even-' Ing of more or less dissipation. On the other hand, the evenings of great numbers of families are generally of monotonous hnmdrum. They involve an assemblage of the same people, the same sutroundings, the same pater famiiias yawning

There needs to be also a constant succession of such fresh people to ring about these results. The world is lull of men and women, and in a better regu lated life it would be the business after the day's work was done to entertain each other and give each other fresh life. As it is now, hundreds, if not thousands, of our house holds are little better than cells lor the in carceration of each family. Thousands are thus worn out prematurelv from utter lack of domestic recreation. There might be written over the graves of thousands, "Bored to Death by the Stagnation of Domestic Life." A LI A II, SAH! StartUnc Scene to a. Colored Church iu St. Louis. ISC Louis Republican. The good colored folks were seated in the Wesleyan Chapel, on Wash, between Tenth and Eleventh streets, at the ninth hour last night. All was silent in there save the rustle of the Bible leaves. The pastor was hunting the text of his sermon. He had come to a passage that looked like the one he sought for, and he paused for a moment and bent his head lower and peered at the good word?. The congregation sent up a sigh for the moment had arrived when they had to face their weekly lecture, while the warden of the little Church opened the windows wider so that the good words of the tastor might float out into the night air and perhaps be HEEDED BT THE VKGODLT. The minister raised his head. "I take for mv text,' he said, "the words: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive. " "Blessed indeed" groaned a sinner from the rear end of the Churclw There are many who come to Church," said the pastor, "who would do well to re member these words. They are of thtt kind who come here and drink andeat of tLe good things, but who are never here at th time the box is passed around. "Y-o-u'-re a 1-i-a-h!" were the words that came floating through the air and to the pastor's ears as he paused at the end of the above sentence. A tall, slender figure arose in the middle aisle of the Church. It was the frame of a river steward, black as night the face of John Itavmond, twenty-one years of age. a recognized masher in colorei cir cles. With RIGHT FOREFINGER POISED, and pointing straight at the pastor, he said: "Your insinuations, sah, are general, but too pointed, sah. ioii are a 1-i-a-h. sah, when you make such msimvattons; a 1-i-a-h, sah a M-a-h: The pastor looked thunderstruck.

Ashbury Bishop, for many years the renerable and respected warden yl the Church, STEPPED TO THE FROXT. He looked exceedingly consequential.

"I shall never leave here, sah, until have had satisfaction satisfaction, sah. or blood, sah, or b-l-o-o-d: ' The warden became terrified. He ran out of the Church and into the street, and lulf the congregation ran after him. The otker half remained within and gazed in wonder at Mr. Raymond, who still held the Chutch AND THE PASTOR, TOO.
