Set fresh, fertile eggs, and you will have
fine, vigorous chieks if the hen does her
duty. Sprinkle the eggs witla tepid water
every few claywhen the hen leaves for food
and reat ; this is the secret of stolen nests
turning out almost every egg. The hen
leaves the nest early in the morning, wets
herself with dew or water and. at her return
shakes her wet feathers over her eggs.
Many young chicks are lost at hatching time
because the little thinga expend all their
strength in trying to get out a the tough
lining of the shell, and die of exhaustion.
So don't neglect to give a thorough wetting
the last day before hatching and do not ap-
ply any sulphur the last week of incubation.
.in summer provide for ample ventilation
and also for coolness around the nesting
places.
How TO KEEP TRE WEEVIL Our oF PEAS.
The weevil never enters these seeds after
they are ripe and harvested. Whatever
inseota will attack them are already inside
of the seeds when they are harvested. Take
the pea -weevil, for example ; soon after the
blossom withers and the little pod is form.
hie, the parent weevil lays her egg or eggs
on the outside of his young and tergler
pod. The eggs soon hatch, and the little
grubs eat then -way through the shell and
into the forming seed. In the case of the
pea there is usually but one grub in each;
while in the bean there are often as many
as a dozen. The grab of the pea -weevil
grows with the pea, and by the time the
seed is mature the grub will be full grown,
and has formed a pupa, in which it will re-
main dormant until Spring approaches.
The pea seeds when harvested may each
contain a weevil, which the careless ob-
server may not notice. By planting time
these will have.awakened from their sleep
and the seeds will be full of weevils. All
devices to keep the weevils out of in
are
of no use, as they are already in them
when harvested. But we can and should
kill the wee 'Is before they escape from the
,r,
peas, to pre their increase. Placing
the seed peas in a tight jac or box with a
little spirits of turpentine is one of the most
effective methods. /While we cannot keep
the weevils out ar' peas we can kill them
while they are in them. Buggy peas will
nsually grow, as the grub does not injure
Zethe embryo Plant. But the food provided
for the young pea plant has been eaten, and
the plants from such seeds will be weaker
and continue to be less vigorous and pro-
ductive. It will be far better to burn the
buggy peas and buy a fresh lot.
PRoTECTING EORARDS AND VINEYARDS.
Our advice, th n, is, if a severe Winter is
feared, to take advantage of the snow as a
protective covering of the roots of our or-
chard trees and vineyards. This can be
done by tramping down the first snow that
comes, or, what would be more efficient, by
means of a horse dragging a light roller over
the snow in orchard and. vineyard and re-
peating it with every new snowfall, in order
to compact it and keep it from blowing off.
Such protection would not always be avail-
able but often it might be made so and ser-
iousloss averted.
It cannot be supposed that a snow cover-
ing would, in an extreme case, be efficient
against harm to the smaller branches or the
fruit buds, but it might save the root, and
thus, through them, sustain the whole cel-
lular system of the stein or trunk and the
main limbs. Such treatment might not in-
sure a crop of peaches, but it might save the
peach orchard from destruction, If the
roots can be protected from injury the vi-
tality of all parts of the tree is sustained to
some extent; and this thought leads us back
to earlier protective treatment—to the gen-
eral cultivation. Well cultivated trees and
vines, those that have been supplied with
manure sufficient for their wants, that have
had the soil above their roots stirred during
the growing season, that have not been en-
feebled by crops too heavy to be borne and
matured; in a word, that have had their
vigor highly maintained—such trees will be
far better able to resist the rigors of an un-
usually severe Winter, in connection with
the adverse conditions of a drought, than
those that have been enfeebled by poor cul-
tivation and neglect.

the quantity has been under 9,000,000 1h.

Then each bird is thrown into his ring, runs
up on top of the hill, gives a "cluck -cluck,"
and looks eagerly at the boys who handle
the scoops. They are both trained to the
ring, one can see at a glance, and they know
as well as the rancheros what they are
expected to do. Max wipes his big
strong beak two or three times on the

the first; around and around the snake,
circles Max, his head down, his short wing
extended towards the snake, ready to guard
the blow when struck. With about six inches
of head and neck extended, eyes flashing
malignantly, the snake follows the move-
ments of Max, waiting for an opening. Up
bristles Max, ducks his head, extends his
left wing. Like a flash, the snake strikes,
the wing receives the blow and carries the
snake's head up, down goes Max's head,
and crunch into the rattler's throat goes his
beak ; up into the air he springs, shake s bis

over, and in the struggle, down the slope
they go to the wire fence. He never loses his
grip, and the snake is powerless to strike his
fangs. A few seconds they struggle at the
wire, Max disentangles himself, and not

Gen. Wolseley, in an interview, expressed
his opinion that an appalling war is a cer-
tainty in the near future.
People who are subject to bad breath, foul ooated
tongue, or any. disorder of the Stomach, can at onoe
be relieved by using Dr, Careon's Stomach Bitten,
the old and tried remedy. Ask your Druggist.
The keynote of the Christian faith is that,
if we attain to any love of God at all, it is
because God first loved us.
Whenever your Stomach or Bowels get out of or.
der, (laming Biliousness, Dyspepsia, or Indigestion.
and their attendant °vile, take at Once a dose of Dr,
Carson's Stomach titters. Best family medioine.
All Druggists, 60 cents.
