speeches are appropriate. A queer In
stance of this kind was developed in
the cse of a parrot that belonged to s
certain traveling ghowmau. The bird
was accustomed to imitate the wordi

was adlressingthe crowds about hi

In the course of the man's and the
bird's wmideriucs they came to a farm
ing region "up country;'' and here, one
d-iy, the parrot escaned and took to the
lields. The showman organized a posse
of men and boys and went in pursuit
of the fugitive.
Afier a good deal of vain search they
heard a great clamor about an old dead
tree on the age of a wood. Creeping
up io the place, they iojnd that the
poor parrott was up in 'the tree, slrlp-
ed of n ost of his feathers, and sur
rounded by a flock of screaming crows,
who were pecking and clawing him
mercilessly; and in the midst of it all

A Creamery Hecord.
The twelfth annual report of the Mas
sachusetts Experiment Station con
tains some creamery records. The per
cent, of fat lu the milk uveraged 4.ZSJ
for lS!:i, and for lMiit 4.27 per cent. In
1SII,' the relation of fat to Die solids was
1 to 2.2, while In IS'.H It was as 1 to 2.18.
The cost of feed for a quart of cream
wns, for,lH!.'i, 13 cents, and for 18'.
13.i'4 cents. The value l Ived for
one spnee of cream varied In isi8 from
3.W) to 4.25 cents, with an average of
3.03 cents; in 1S!)1 from 3.10 to 4.00
cents, with an average of 3.52 ceins,
which amounted per quart (average) In
1KJ)3 to 13.30 cents, and In 1S!14 to 11.07
cents. The number of quarts of milk
required to produce one apace of cream
In IH'AT was l.SS, and In 18114 2.08, or
0.39 quarts of whole milk to produce
one quart of cream In 18!3, and 7.07
quarts of whole milk to produce oue
quart of cream In 1SSH. The net cost of
feed per nuart of cream averaged In
18113 5.08 cents, and In I8i4 7.17 cents,
Received per quart of cream in 1803
13.30 cents, and In 18!4 11.07 cents,
thereby securing a profit of 7.38 cents

Getting d of torn Kniut.
A bulletin from I'urdue University
of Indiana Is devoted to corn smut,
which Is very prevalent lu the Went,
where corn Is often grown year after
year on the same hind. Experiments
show that tho growth of smut spores
tnnv be prevented by spraying with
Bordeaux mixture. But this is an ex
pensive and difficult process, as tin
leaves of corn will protect the low i
portion where the spores may be
lodged. A better practical way Is to go
through the corn about the time the ears
are forming und destroy all the signs
of smut that may be visible. While In
Its damp state this smut should be put
In paper bags and eliher burned or
buried deeply In the ground doing
through the corn Held twice, once early
and a little before the time to cut the
corn, will destroy nearly all the smut
and prevent Us doing much Injury (or
several years.
Winter I'lunta.
Do not use pots for winter flowering
plants that are too large. It is better
i i -wo larger part when m-cmslty for
jiii.'h nrlsin, Be careful In watering.
The tendency Is to apply too much wa
ter. An excellent fertilizer for wluti
plants Is to dissolve a teaspootiful of
nilnite of soda, phosphate of llnic and
phosphate of potash In three plnt.s of
water, which may be applied In audi
dent quantities threw tlmca a week. The
materials arc free from odor, and may
lc procured at any drug store.

Too Narrow Hams.
Most of the old-fashioned barns wer?
built with a view to economy, aud
were made as narrow and cramped us
possible, says the American Cultivato.
The standard wldih seemed to bo
enough for a wagon loaded with grain
In the straw to be driven in, and for the
barn foor to be closed behind it. The
floor was also narrow, so that the team
had to be driven out at the door opp.t-
slte that they went In at. It is rather
curious that fanners tried to economize
so much In lumber when the woods
were full of it, and larger framed
buildings might be made with scarcely
any more expense. When farmers be
gan to build barns with basements, and
having only one entrance, the barn was
necessarily made wider and its floors
broader, so that a loaded wagon could
be driven In and the team be driven
out beside It A roomy barn floor Is
very convenient for storing many kinds
of farm tools; but wagons should al
ways be stored In the basement, where
the wheels will come In contact with
the soil.
Weed Peeda in Winter.
Weed seeds are often drifted by
wiuds to great distances when the snow
fs covered with an Icy glare. The w ild
carrot seeds are more often dissemin
ated !n this way than In any other.
Small seeds, such as those of ragweed.
which grows along roadsides, will ad
here to the mud on wagon wheels, and
thus ..will be carried where not before
known. The only safety from weeds
consists In preventing their seeding.
When they have perfected their seed It
Is often enten by birds, and will some
times retain Its vitality after passing
Into the excrement. Some kinds of
weed seeds are very hard and need
some such treatment to make them ger
minate readily.
Kill the Profltlesia Poultry.
Don't keep a lot of useless poultry
through the winter. If in good flesh
hnve all the old fowls and the cockerels
dressed. Have such a box as Is Illus
trateda dry goods box with hinged
side and lay the dressed fowls in It,
no one touching another. Tut the box
in a cold building or on a back pla..a
aud let the fowls freeze solid. Chicken
meat can then be had at liny time dur
ing the winter. Dress all fowls that
are "eating their heads off." Farm and
Home.
Deep Draina Are Permanent.
In all Northern localities underdralns
should be put down to at least three
feet In depth If a good outlet can be had.
Shallow drains are soon washed out,
or the frost penetrates to their bottom
lu severe weather and disarranges the
tile or stone used as a waterway. We
have frequently seen drains put down
to a depth of twenty Incites or two feet
that after a few years would be worth
lews. We have dug and laid drains up
wards of thlrty-slx years that are yet
in good condition. They were all three
feet or more In depth. When a drain
lasts for a third of a century It Is reu:
sonable to believe that It will always be
effective In removing surplus water
from the soil.
Cnt Cornstalk".
When cornstalks are cut In pieces
alwiut an Inch long there Is danger In
feeding them to horses, for when frozen
they are as hnrd and sharp almost as
wood. When cut cornstalks are puea
In large heaps before freezing weather
begins they will heat enough to prevent
this danger. Stock also like these part
ly cooked cornstalks, as the heating un
doubtedly makes them more digestible.
Hiiytna a t arm.
In buying a farm get good land, even
If you can't afford more than ten acres.
The soil must be rich to return much
nroflt. and it Is cheaper to buy the
richness with the land than to buy It
afterwards and then spread It on. Some
hind, too. Is so thin and leachy, or so
stiff and -sour, that no amount of man
ure will make It really first-class.
(
teas Wheat and Data.
From several sections the reitorts are
that smaller areas will bo devoted to
wheat and oats 1n the spring. No doubt
low prices will Induct! farmers to limit
the acreage, but those who are shrewd
and who anticipate smi) a condition
will Increase their acreage to such crops
In order to secure high prices which
may result from decreased production.
Feed in u Fowls in Winter.
During the coldest weather the last
feed of fowls should bo given ns late as
possible and should consist of whole
grain. This will keep thorn warm
through the night. If any corn Is given
the fowls It should be Just before they
go to roost, as the corn takes longer to
digest than the smaller grains.
Dehorned Ciltto.
Dehorning cattle Is no doubt crgol at
the time of operation, but those who
favor it maintain that cattle which have
