The wrinkle in (jnt-stioa is the arrange ment of tho ciilIo codu ia s:uch a way that the address not only serves to carry tho mes uzis its destination, but has a significance of its own. For instance, a Now York firm tciern piling to its London branch addresses th'-m under twenty-live or thirty different resist-. -rod nan:fs, all of which are recorded in the Ixmdon oilico. If tho message is sent to Jack, l)!idin, it not only reaches John Smith fc Co., for v. horn it was intended, but John iSinith 'c Co. know from the very fact that tlioy have beon addresseil as Jack, that l'lM pi'-fc-s of b'jme lino of goods are ro piiivd to l;o sent by tho next steamer. If, on tiio other hand, the firm is addressed un der the name of llobert, London, which is c!so a registered nunc, a:il which reaches tho finii indue course, they know that a dif fei at order is iutcinlo'L In this way these iiiv'enioag ioof-lo praelicaliy get out of ia' i.ijj for the aJdrcf.s, and tlie cable company M-e them wrislin.-; out of tho resjionsibility of -:ib!e rcyidatioiifi, a;rl are praetieaily jxiwerlesa to do anything. Another favorite mode of cutting dow.i the iiuml cr of cable words, especially in cabling, to Cornsany and Italy, is to tako two or three foreign words, each of which may re-irc sent a phrase, and blend them together i:i what appears to bo one word. L!y this means 1111:0 or tea letters of the alpbaliet, costing twelve or Of teen ci-nts for its trans Kii .vioa, convey:; to tho other side cn entire sentence. The regulation in regard to the length of words is that 110 word, either a manufacl tired word for code purposes or a genuine word of tho language, shall be trans mitted for tlie ordinary tariir if it exceeds ten letters in length New York Mail and Kxpress. lite Ilat'n I.ivrr Superstition.

A VERY DESIRABLE VARIETY OF EARLY SWEET CORN. Making I'oullry Oue or Scri of Rota tloo ( ron How l arincri I-'crt About llrliornliiK Cattle Oue Way to Layer the iaie. Numbered with experienced southern liorticulturlsts In Mr. T. V. Munson, of Denison, Tex. In an article on "Horti cultural Surgery," in Texas Farm and Hunch, occurs the following: TIG. 1 LAVF.ISINU T11K GKAHK. In Fig. 1 it is desired to produce new individuals by layering. We must first partly stop, by a wouud, the food supply from the parent, cause the layer to heal the wound, and nt the same time secure its food from mother earth itself. We do this by cutting the branch partly in two from upper side, n.s at "a", ho as to get all the young roots on your layer, and not as at -b," by cutting on lower side, causing generally weak roots to fctart both from the layer wo wish to move and the old stock, which damages both the mother plant and the young sought, with no ad vantage otherwise. Another quicker, and about as -good way as any, Is to give the branch a quick twist, as though in tending to, make iv wither, but tivistiug only at one oint: then bend down in trench and cover, leaving top out with leaves on. In fall, cut away from old plant, take up and transplant. That Is for layering, in stimmer time, young growing wood. KIO 2 LAYEKIXO THE CRAPE. For spring layering the grape, proceed aa shown in Fig. 2. A trench some four or five inches deep along row is made so as to be out of way of cultivation. A good strong cane i.s selected, pinned down as at 4 c, c, c"' in the trench while yet dor mailt, and left uncovered till buds expand and grow branches, "b, b, b," reaching sev eral inches above surface of ground, then begin gradually fillins in Sue soil along trench till level. By fall nearly every shoot will have taken root near the old vine when it sprung. Then cut opart at 4,n, n, a'' and '"c"', remove and plant as a separate vine. Sonio varieties, very hard or impossible to crow from cuttings, can be quite readily grown in this way. Dehorning Cattle. The practice of dehorning cattle is rapidly increasing, not only in the west but in some sections of tho middle and eastern states. The chief objection urged against dehorning has been the cruelty of the operation; a lesser one is that it de tracts from the appearance of the animal. The second objection remains, but the great majority of those who have prac ticed dehorning contend that it is no more painful, if ns painful, as other operations generally practiced. However this may be, it is fairly safe to conclude that de horning, carefully performed, is not a dan gerous operation. The arguments advanced in favor of de horning are: First, the prevention of ter rible accidents in handling vicious cattle, especially bnlli-; second, that the dehorned cattle can be turned loose in sheds and stalls without fear of their injuring each other, even if they are more or less crowded. Tlie subject has received considerable attention this season at the farmers' in stitutes and clubs, and if reports of these meetings may be relied upon the farmers and breeders who have experimented in dehorning their cattle almost with one ac cord favor the practice. From these and other sources it appears that the preferred age at which to dehorn is in the second year of the animal's life,' and spring is the season favored. The operation, it i3 averred, is more successful in moderate weather, then in either extremes of heat cr cold Freparatoi v to the operation the ani mal's head is made fast; then the horns are sawed otT with a suitable saw close to the hair, where a soft place occurs In the. horns. Doublo liuug for Poultry. The Importance of double runs for poul try is not appreciated by the majority of amateurs who try growing poultry on a comparatively small scale, and yet these double runs are of untold value. The ob ject of the double run is to supply the birds with fresh ground, and thus prevent any tainting of it, so prolific a cause of disease in ssnalj. yards Only one run' at a time ought to be oc cupied by the fowls, and the other may be profitably employed with growing vegeta bles, which will be found to thrive aston ishingly in such n place. One not only gets' the profits ot some quick, growiug crops by this practice, bnt'lh( soil has nt the same time been purified and brought into good condition for the poultry. If each ruu is thus alternated by fowls and crops', say every four mouthSi the diseases so common in confined poultry runs will bo few and far between. The efficacy of this plan has been proven to the writer's own satisfaction, and is well worth a trial. There appears no reason why farmers should not make poultry one of a series In a rotation of crops, as by 'this means the land occupied by the fowls is well manured, and before being used again by the birds is purified by the crops grown thereon. It may happen that the small poultry keeper cannot give these double run3. In that case a good plan would be to lay down the one run he has in gravel, as that can be more easily removed and re newed than earth, and then it is not so readily contaminated by the droppings cs is soil. Preparing Compost. Contrary to a prevailing opinion, 6ays The Southern Cultivator, it is not in practice a matter of great importance to determine and adhere to fixed proportions of Ingredients in compounding a mixture cf fertilizing materials, pr compost, for a particular crop. Where home' materials are to be utilized, it is generally safe to use n gcod deal of latitude in the relative proportions according to the respective quantities of each Ingredient that may be available By a sort ot common consent. to some extent suggested by the fertilizer laws of the state, iu Georgia, a standard fertilizer for cotton, and most other crop, should contain the three valuable ele ments in about the proportions of am monia, 2 to :i percent.; phosphoric acid 8 to 12 ier cent., ami ioti!sh 1 1-2 to 2 Ier cent., and this is aU.ut the nver tgc t the commercial fertilizers sold in (Jeore.ia. If these proiort ions are njiproxf mattnl within wide limits in mixing a comjiost. its practical maximum value will be real ized. Stable manure Wing one of the principal ingredient in oiiit of bulk usually employed in comjiost ing, ami varying greatly In comjjosition, It is mani festly impracticable to formulate nny near apjiroach to weeuracy. Iroliir-tlven-K of Fruit Tree. 'It is curious to note," says .Tames Fitz, of Yirgiuia, "the difference in the productiveness of fruit trees, caused by soil and climate. For Instance, the North ern Spy njiple, the Ksojms Sjiitzenburg and the Baldwin, three of the most jiopii lar varieties of the northern aud some of the middle states, are perfectly worthless iu most parts of Yirgiuia ami states further south. On the other hand our lest sorts, such n.s the Nicks Jack, Wine sop, LimlM-rtwig, Grimes' golden, Buck ingham, Itawle's Genet atid many others are worthless at the north. It is true that some Knroiean varieties, and a few that originated in the northern and mid dle states, are at home in southern and southwestern soil. It i.s for tho amateur to grow and test such and introdude new varieties. The farmer has not time to attempt discoveries in this line, except In a small way." The Trout men t of Colt. The treatment which colts receive has a telling effect nn th-i v' ' : grown up. Injuries and bo.ni.she.- are like the leaves on trees they increase in size ns the body increases. It is an un disputed fact that the condition of the feet of a horse is more or less affected by the condition of the ground on which the feet are treated in any kind of soil. If they are kept confined to stables and com pelled to stand continually upon hard, plank floor, the feet will be morcvor less injured by it; or if they are constantly kept on soft, loamy ground the feet will be soft and spongy, and iu about as bad con dition as if bruised up by being stabled continually. Southern Cultivator. I'tillzing: Coal Aolies. It Is the general understanding that coal ashes are not of enough value ns fertilizer to pay for hauling them out for that purpose, but when sifted tho line ashes will be useful on 6tiff clay soils, lightening them up aud making them more friable, but the cinders should be kept off from any land you intend to cul tivate. Many jersons consider a few shovelfuls of fine ashe3 useful around their fruit trees and use them for that purpose, and the sifted ashes have given excellent satisfaction when used in the garden to prevent the attacks of the melon and cucumber bugs. Vest Milk Producing Food. Professor Stewart, authority on such matters, says: "Neither corn meal nor bran is the best milk producing food. With he best clover hay, corn meal should be added ns a part of the ration but with corn fodder, straw or poor hay, good wheat bran should be added instead of corn meal. Bran will balauce jioor fodder better than corn meal. But in making up the milk ration the feeder should seek variety in food. Corn meal and bran together, are better than either alone. The kinds of food best in a milk ration depend upon how the foods balanco each other." Huwlne Oats. Undoubtedly the Burt oat is the safest for spring sowing, as it will mature in 100 to 120 days when sown in February or March, according to latitude. Sow plenty of seed; the later the sowing tho heavier should be the seeding. Allow for yield of twentyfold is a jiretty safe gen eral rule, unless the expected yield or ca pacity of the land is small, in which cas-;, the seeding should be somewhat heavier than this rule would indicate, and vito versa. Southern Cultivator. Farliest of All Sweet Corn. Bepeated tests of the new extra early varieties of sweet corn make it appear that the Cory corn is as early as tho earliest, if not the earliest, of all sweet corn. It originated in Rhode Island with Joseph Cory. Gradually a few of his neighbors obtained some of the seed, and from this it became gradually known to the geedmen. In 1883 it was in troduced to the public by Mr. Gregory, of Mar blehead, the well known Massachu setts seedman. To this gentleman we are indebted for the representation of this corn here given. Me. Greg ory' claims that it lias proved on his grounds to be earlier and larger kerneled than the Marblehead. The agricultural edit or of The New York World, who THE CORY CORK. has tested it along with other early sorta in sandy Xaw Jersey soil, has reported ii as not only the earliest,' but the sweetest and tendercst of all. Facta Farmers Ouglit to Know. Lettuce gives best results when grown !n a moist soil and in comparatively cool weather.. The radish will thrive in ar.y good soil, out to be crisp and tender must be grown quickly. The black walnut tree will cut a figure on our farms in the future. It can e made as profitable as the apple tree in lo calities where it will thrive at all. Two new lettuces are the Ohio and the Golden Apple. In view of the fact that the potato crop was short in many sections last year, and that much of the crop was not well rip ened, greater car than usual should le taken with this seuson's seed potatoes.
