»FARM AND GARDEN. MATTERS OF INTEREST TO a AGRICULTURISTS. — Soma Gp-to-ilala Hlata About Coltlra tlon af Ilia noil aad Tlalda Tharaof — Hortlonltara, Vltlrnltara aad florl OULTRT houses are very slim af faire, sometimes; not that they are built regardless of the comfort of the fowls, but because the largo majority of poultrymen are unwilling to ex pend any more money on the poul try house than is possible, says a writer in Poultry Keeper. They Aim to get the most house for the least money, and they succeed in get ting the least number of eggs at the greatest outlay of food. Take the cold daye of winter under consideration, and keep in view the fact that not one poultry house is given a coating of lath and plaster, which Is alone suffi cient evidence that the cold air can come In through a hundred little, un seen openings, yet the first thing that thoroughly, falling down behind ove« her tall, so that that member cannot b« switched into the face of the milker. • • • Wo cannot too severely condemn ths uso of preservatives in butter making. The dairyman or farmer has no right to toy with the health of the consumers of his product. It may be that adults will not be greatly harmed by the drugs but Infants and invalids are the ones most in danger. It is desirable that we have some care for the welfare of others. Kvery state that has a dairy and food commission should also have laws preventing the sale and use of preservatives containing anything de leterious to the health. We do not be lieve that any other kind of a preserva tive can be made, for the said preser vative must needs be destructive to all vegetable growth, and must exert a corresponding effect on the human sys* tem, though to a less degree. • • • In the report of Commissioner Board man, of Iowa, 625 creameries reported 52,204 patrons. This is a small army. There Is no reason why such men In the different states should not be brought closer together. This would make It possible to bring about a more ills! condition of nffiilrs The nrtnclnal NAMES OF VEHICLES. "Drac,’' **Tr;«p,** anil Oth«f Wonli That .%re Misapplied. The fact that the first coach ever brought to this country by Colonel DcLancey Kane was named by Its own er “the tally-ho" Is no Justification for twlating the meaning and enlarging upon the Importance of the word so as to make It refer to coaches generally considered, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. The word "tally-ho” l« used In a per verted sense as applied to coaching. It la a hunting term, pure and simple. Take the common expression that you hear on every side: "Mr. 8o-nnd-Ho has Juat passed by In his drag." Now a man up In such things would expect to see a person go by with a swell four-in-hand turnout. Drag Is the name applied to a coach when It Is used privately. As soon as a four-ln-hand coach Is put Into public service and a fare Is charged for riding upon It It ceases to be a drag and becomes a coach, Just as a hansom when driven publicly becomes a hansom cab. An other common mistake Is the calling of two horses a team Instead of a pair. A pair of horses Is never a team unless hitched tandem. A team Is something more than a pair, such as a tandem, unicorn, four-ln-hand, etc., and to hear people talk about a pair of horses as a team Is quite as bad as to hear a per son say, “John, put that single set of harness on the bay." A single set of harness Is an impossibility, as It takes a double equipment for a set. Used In the sense of the word trap Is another expression which you never hear ex cept In the very Yankee states. It seems to be a generic name for all kinds of traps and nothing Is too lowly or too lofty to apply the term to. A name almost as general as rig In Its significance is "dog cart." It seems as If anything having two wheels should be given this name, according to no tion here. The only thing that should +4 *###•##$«$* ft#*#*# | Dr. Talmage’s Sermon. | THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

Pblit-Ull-lliV I'it fll* '^sblngton, Sept. 20, 1896.—It the clarion note of this sermon, delivered at the national capital, could sound through Christendom, It would glra everything good a new start. Dr. Tal mags’s text was Romans, 13:12: "Ths day Is at hand." Back from the mountains and tha seaslds, and the springs, and ths farm house, your chsska bronzed and your spirits lighted, I hall you home again with the words of Gehazl to the Shu nammite: "Is It well with thee? Is It well with thy husband? Is It well with the child?" On some faces 1 see the mark of recent grief, but all along the track of tears I see the etory of resurrection and reunion when all tear* are done: the deep ploughing of the keel, followed by the flash of the phosphoreecence. Now that I have asked you In regard to your welfare, you nat urally ask how I am. Very well, thank you. Whether It was the bracing air of the mountains, or a bath In the surf of liOng Island beach, or whether It Is the Joy of standing In this great group of warm-hearted friends, or whether It le a new appreciation of the goodneas of God, I cannpt tell. I simply know I am happy. It was said that John Molfatt, the great Methodist preacher, occaalonally got fast In his sermon, and to extricate himaelf would cry "Halle lujah!" I am In no such predicament to-day, but I am full of the same rhap sodic ejaculation. Starting out thla morning on a new ecclesiastical year. I want to give you the keynote of my next twelve months' ministry. I want to set It to the tunes of "Antioch," "Ariel," and "Coronation." I want to put a new trumpet atop Into my ser mon*. We do wrong If we allow our personal sorrow* to Interfere with the glor'-ous fact that the kingdom Is com ing. We are wicked if we allow appre hension of national disaster to put down our faith In God and In the mis sion of our American people. The God who hath been on the side of this na tion since the Fourth of July, 1776, will aen to it that this nation shall not commit suicide on November 3d, 1896. By the time the unparalleled harvests of this summer get down to the sea I find another ray of dawn In the compression of the world's distances. What a slow, snail-like, almost impos slble thing would hsvs been the world’s rectification with fourteen hundred millions of population and no facile means of communication; but now, through telegraphy for the eye and tel ephonic Intimacy for the ear, and through steamboating and railroading, the twenty-flv# thousand miles of the world's circumference are shriveling up Into Insignificant brevity! Hong Kong is nearer to New York than a few year* ago New Haven was; Bombay, Moscow, Madras, Melbourne within speaking distance. Purchase s tele graphic chart, and by blue lines see the telegraphs of the land, and by the red lines the cables under the ocean. You see what opportunity this la going to give for the final movements of Chris tianity. One more ray of the dawn I see In facts chronological and mathematical. Come now, do not let us do another stroke of work until we have settled one matter. What Is going to be the final Issue of this great contest between cause of farmers not being able to re sist trusts and Impostures Is that the masses are In spch a disorganized con dition that there can be no consensus of action. The day that the creamery men and dairymen form a compact or ganization, that day fraud in dairy pro ducts will cease, and commercial houses, whether tellers of salt or buy ers of butter, will find It no longer to their interests to deal otherwise than honestly, • • • The Pennsylvania station has been considering the question of spraying corn fields to kill the army worm. It has been asked If there Is danger that the corn thus sprayed will prove dan gerous to stock. There are no positive data from which conclusions may be drawn. But the station believes that If the spraying Is done with a weak so lution and a month before the corn is cut for fodder there cannot possibly remain on the corn enough of the poi son to do harm. The proportion for ■praying is one pound of paris green te i50 to 200 gallons of water. Useful Poultry Mouse. The barrel poultry house (Eig. 1) Is largely used by cottag rs In England, and makes a capital bouse for a small lot of birds, says Australasian. Any cracks or crevices should be filled up with clay or putty. The Inside should have a good coating of lime, in which some carbolic acid has been mixed, and many will do Is to ventilate sucn a bouse There Is a class which arc laboring under the Impression that *iPey must give the hens plenty of fresh «$P »lr In winter. Let them experiment by living in an unplastered house, and ■they will learn a valuable lesson on keeping out the cold. Fresh air Is In vigorating, and also a valuable adjunct » thrift and health, but the first thing ^■Ib learn Is whether there Is already a sufficiency or deficiency. Go Into the poultry-house on a cold, windy night., light a candle and watch the flame. Al though the doors and windows may he tightly closed, and to all appearances the house may be "alr-tlght," yet the of the candle will flicker If the high, provided, as stated, that L the house Is not plastered, which is evl ' dance that the air comes In from some where, and yet a thorough search may SOt disclose any openings by which the ftfer can enter. A poultry-house that Is 1 kept clean and in good condition will offer no obstacles to the fowls in the form of Impure air. It Is only when the house becomes filthy that odors are no ticeable and ventilation Is required. No ventilation need be given at night. The doors and windows may be opened dur ing the day, but only when the weather to dry. as dampness Is Injurious to poul try. Hundreds of fowls die every year from too much cold air given for venti lation, and this should not happen. Here are but few poultry-houses built are not self-ventllatlng, even when built with the best of care. mHf - yjBfel Improving tha Smith. As editorial In London Live mock Journal says: Persistent protest, for S long series of years, by modern vet lb erlnary authorities against excessive r use of the knife in preparing the horse’s foot for the shoe has not been with out effeot on the majority of farriers. Indeed, in some Instances the lessons taught have been over-applied and too dHtopulousIy followed. The shoelng smlth of the day sometimes errs in opposite direction to mat oi wmcn forefathers were guilty.

There arc conditions of tbe foot when the knife should be freely used In removing abnormal growth to BUke a perfectly Wei bearing surface. While on no aocount should the sole bs hollowed out or the frog be cut down, M was the common practice of old. It Is satisfactory to learn that the judges Of shoeing competitions at our annual I ,' agricultural shows ure unanimously of Opinion that great improvement*has token place of late years in the general workmanship of the urban and rural ghoeing-smlths. Much of this is due to the advance of education amongst tha class, and doubtless also not a lit tle credit should be attributed to the system of registration of competent and | Skillful workmen Instituted by the ^Worshipful Company of Farriers.

The other sketch (Fig. 2} represents a more elaborate house, which can be made according to the number of birds for which It is required. The illustra tion explains Itself, and the space un der the floor Is of great advantage, as it gives protection from the weather and is much appreciated by the birds The house should be removed every few days on to fresh ground. It will be noted 'that two Important points, light and ventilation, have received atten tion from the designer of this house.

ONCE A FRENCH DRUMMER. Now a Chinese General with a Native Wife. While on Chinese topics, let me no tice a romantic story which is now going the rounds, says the London Globe. The soldiers of the 10th regi ment of infantry now quartered at La val are probably not aware that one of their drum-majors has been, if he Is not so still, a general In the Chinese army, and one of the most precious auxiliaries of LI Hung Chang. His name was Pinel, and he took part In the campaign in China In 1860. Olfted with superior intelligence, he took ad vantage of his stay in the celestial em pire to learn the Chinese language, which he mastered by the time he re turned to France at the end of thf war. His time having expired, he thought of the future and was soon convinced that, even if he re-enlisted, he could never become more than a drum major. The idea of returning to China then struck him. and one fine morning he packed up his trunk and set out for Pekin. On arriving there he went straight to Li Hung Chang, who was then operating against the Tal-Pinga, and, throwing himself on his knees, exclaimed: "Great man, your high in telligence will be able to distinguish better than I can do in what way I can be of service to you." Li Hung Chang, although he had not yet attained the zenith of his glory, was already sick and tired of the ex aggerated marks of respect which his compatriots showered on him. But he was little accustomed to the admiration of western peoples. He was conse quently greatly flattered by the homage of Pinel and made him a sergeant on the spot. This favor was not a re markable one, but the ex-drum major was a man who knew how to make hli way as soon as he got Into the stirrups. And, In effect, he maneuvered so well and nave uroof of such cauaclty that he rapidly rose to the rank of general of artillery. When I.t Hung Chang waa sent agulnat the Chlneae Mohammedan*, who had revolted, IMnel waa hi* prin cipal aid-de-camp and In him he placed hla entire confident*. In 1870 IMnel came across aorne Frenchmen,to whom he related hla life. He aald hr r-nr married to a Chlneae lady and was perfectly satisfied with hla lot. Only one thing seemed to annoy him It appeared that the Chinese government, while showing Itself very liberal toward him. had instated that all hla money and property should remain In the -oiintry. so that he should become final ly attached to It.

In all our Christian work you and I want more of the element of gladness. No man had a right to say that Christ never laughed. Do you suppose that he was glum at the wedding In Cana of Galilee? Do you suppose that Christ was unresponsive when the children clam bered over his knee and shoulder at his own Invitation? Do you suppose that the Evangelist meant nothing when he Mid of Christ: "He rejoiced In spirit?" Do you believe that the Divine Christ who pours all the waters over the rocks at Vernal Falls, Yo semlte, does not believe In the sparkle and gallop and tumultuous Joy and ruslng raptures of human life? I be lieve not only that the morning laughs, and that the mountains laugh, and that the seas laugh, and that the cas cades laugh, but that Christ laughed. Moreover, take a laugh and a tear Into an alembic, and assay them, and test thpm, and analyze them, and you will often find as much of the pure gold of religion In a laugh as In a tear. Deep spiritual Joy always Hhows Itself in fa cial illumination. John Wesley said he waa sure of a good religious lm presslon being produced because of what he calls the great gladness he saw among the people. Godless merriment Is blasphemy anywhere, but expression of Christian Joy is appropriate every where. Moreover, the outlook of the world ought to stir us to gladness. As'ron omers disturbed many people by telling them that there was danger of stellar collision. W’e were told by these as tronomers that there are worlds com ing very near together, and that we shall have plague*, and wars, and tu mults, and perhap* the world’s destruc _ n/>« tu scared If YOU have ever stood at a railroad center, where ten, or twenty, or thirty rail tracks cross each other, and seen that by the movement of the switch one or two Inrhea the train nhoota this way and that, without colliding, then you may understand how fifty worlds m »y com* within an Inch of disaster, and that Inch he as good as a million miles. If a human switch-tender can shoot the trains thta way and that without harm, cannot the hand that for thousands of years has upheld Ihe universe, keep our little world out of harm's way? Christian geologists tell us that thta world was millions of years In build tag Wall, now, I do out think Ood would take millions of years to build a house which was to laat only ait thousand years There Is nothing In the world or ouUtlde the world, itrree trial or astronomical, to eirlta dismay.

'iniidTii It tntliirffiiMiMl sin and righteousness? Which Is going to prove himself the stronger, Ood or Dlabolue? Is this world going to be ■II garden or all desert? Now let us have that matter settled If we believe Isaiah, and Kzekiel and Hoses, and Ml cah, and Malachl, and John, and Peter, and Paul, and the 1/ord himself, we believe that It Is going to be all garden. Hut let us have It nettled. IjH us know whether we are working on toward a success or toward a dead failure. If there Is a child in your house sick, and you are sure he Is going to get well, you sympathize with present pains, but all the foreboding Is gone. If you are In a cyclone off the Florida coast, and the captain assures you the vessel Is staunch and the winds are changing for a better quarter, and he is sure he will bring you safe Into the harbor, you patiently subfnlt to present distress with the thought of safe arrival. Now I want to know whether we are coming on toward dismay, darkness and defeat, or on toward light and blessedness. You and I believe the latter, and If so, every year we spend Is one year subtracted from the world’s woe, and every event that passes, whether bright or dark, brings us one event, nearer a happy consummation, and by all that Is In exorable in chronology and mat hemat ics I commend you to good cheer and courage. K there Is anything In arith metic, If you subtract two from five and leave three, then by every rolling sun we are coming on teward a mag nificent terminus. Then every wlutei passed Is one severity less for our poor world. Then every summer gone by brings us nearer unfading arborescence. Put your algebra down on the top of your Bible and rejoice. If it Is nearer morning at three o'clock than It la at two. If it Is nearer morning at four o'clock than it Is at three, then we are nearer the dawn ol the world's deliverance. Clod's clock seems to go very slowly, but the pendu lum swings, and the hands move, and It will yet strike noon. The sun uni the moon atood still once; they will never stShd still again until they stop forever. If you believe arithmetic as well as your Bible, you must believe we are nearer the dawn. “The day 11 at hand."
