To turn siheep into the corn fields (tp^ms to he considered agricultural sac- rlleiaip by some farmers. Turn sheep in a com fieldf Yes turnj them in. if you hive the sheep and the corn field. Sheep will clean out foitiil or other weeds t)hiit com.e up &dA will not only do the fiftUI good by removikig thiMn., but will \K' doing a great deal of Kood by fer- Mlli7inig the ground. In lurninK sheep into oorn fiields. says a writer, .some judgmeoit must be used in determin- iiQg the time to dio so and how long to leave them there. When the corn ia wet after a raiin it is not heat to have them in foir awhllfc. They will get wet bbrougb and tramp the ground a little too mucth for the c^ood of the coroi. If old ewes get to ruling down thf corn, as they will d» aonietiimes, if M»y have been In many years, it is best to keep tbem out. Txt avoiid this it may bs well to only turn ila the lambs. I4unl« tev* not Learned this perniciiOaB hMrit and will do little or no damage to the corn. Old sheep men would much rather bava sheep in l;he com for the good of the corn than I u> not have them in. If there are j pumpklDDs in tbe field and it is the ' intention for tint sheep to have them, I they sbcudd nut be turned in until the pumpkins are well along or nearly ripe. < Sheep will est pumpkin vines and the loss of too many of the vines before I they are well along will do the pum- kina injury. It is well to turn the iambs in a few weeks after the corn has be«in laid by. while the pasture ia dry and fuU at old grass or alwut the time they are weaned. This will afford Lhem a good bite and some am- usement to while away the weary hours cansed by being taken away from Lhe,ir dams. i'here ia not only guodi feed for them in Che fields, iMt there is little damage done to the growing 2orn. , A lew of the* lower blades will be taken off and occasionally some silk, hut these have served their purpose and no damage will be suslaiined to have the lambs in after about the first of (September. The com field furnishes a good place for the sheep to get away from the flies that annoy them so. If the field is pretty clean it will Iw welt to feed thiMn some and they will do less dam- age to the oorn. TTie many, years' ex- perience we ha^re had in practicing this method have convinced us that the benefit is far greater than the loss sustained in the occasional eating of nn ' ear or two of corn bj a shaep that has acquired the hal>.t. When turning in corn is practised it ia no*' beat to let thnm remain in the field toiver night aa they will lie in one place each night and break down the i.-om more or less, and it ia here that they acquire the halrit of eating corn. One year w« sowed a lot ot rape, the last tirns w» plowed. •m l>«>tween tlue row^s of corn. The sheep had plenty of f«'«<l on the rape. !>ut of recent years a Little cahba,;e louse his given us so much trouble that we do not try to grow it. When we feel sure tint there is n/j rlanger from the louse or other enemies (a» it has sev- eral) ^%•e shall try the plami again- W'e like it, ajkd we also like to have pump- kins in the oorn for the Lajn).)a to eat. Pumpkin seeds are gocil worm destrD.v- ers.

The crop is hoKge<l and wisted. 8CALT LEGS ON POITLTRY. Cliiickerns are seldom affected by this diseacMs but it is o^ten very trouble- some with old bens and roosters. Al- thinigh it is one of the worst pests when once estaiilished in a flock, it is cmc whiivh yields rapidly to treatment and is easily cured. A writer says th*> diseaae is a foirm of scalues or man^e diu« to a mitd which l/urrows under the skin . I«ginning betwei-n the toes by a gradual elevaiica of the scaler owing to the formation of a white powdery sul-stanoe beneath them. The disease e'Xtends up the leg, the scales are de- tached and the joints become affected. The best preven.tirai is to at once treat the first signs at tblp trouble a2>pearing and â-  to ,it once sep*rato afflicted fu» Is from the rest of the flock. Otoe sc-aly legged liird roiKsting with a flock free from the diMKise will aouta spread the dis- ease among them. It can be effectu- ally cured by first washing the legs -ind toes with castile soap and warm water. If a soft brusii is U90<1' it will he all the better. After the \«<^ ami to^s are dry from t*e wtsh'ln.ii annoint with an ointment made with equal parts t»f aielte.i lard and kerotsene. Re- peat the treatment rla-ily until the legs are perfectly cleans Soane poul- try writers reoommenr' pitting the fleet and legs in kerosene oil. We con- sider thit nv*. only s |j;ri«»\-oas mis- take. Init certaintly a painful ofiera- tion. By combining th» keroeene with hard it ih more cooHn(/ and hiealing. While treating the scales do not try to pull my off. By so doing y<«i will start them to )>liBed an.l cause aore- n,?8S. Brush lightty with th*" aoip end water and gradually the acalea will sotte-n and thp ointment will l(K)se« th»m u(!> so that they will drop off. Neg'lecleid cases of scaly legs will 90 weake-n the fowl that death will event- ually fallow. THB HEALTHY PALATE. It Daeit Xal fravr CaatllHent*. kat tke r»*4 While a perf^tly sound :uul healthy palate does a»t crave fur cou<lim>eu Ls. e>vvn prefers to do without them, yet thw majority of digestions requirj to \v> humored and kept in order, and th^ir i)ecuU-iritie8 must lie studied. l)r Brunt txn says: "ixivory food causeo Ihe digeettive juices to be freely secreted, well cooktHi and palaUible food is tliere- fore. more dSsestifile than u-upiilalable. If tixid Itwks savor, a de«ir» naturally arises to su(>ply it by (vntliiuients,. not always well selected or wholesome." As commeri'e brought them within reach oi the people, condiuien'ts in sim- ple or complicated forms ciLme greatly unlo favor and foreign s{)ioes were add- ohI to the wiiil herlul growths of the fields and hedges. In uur early hist- ory the "spicery" was a speiial depart- ment of the cv>urt. and^ had its proper officers. In the fourteenth century spic«« were liotti, costly aiMl rare, most of them coming from the Levint Chau- cer m«ntiuins many by name â€" cHnelia, nutcys. clowe, (clones), grains of para- dise^ nutmegs, onrawav and spikenard. The ancients, espevUj.lly the Greeks anil Romains in tiit^ lunurious period of their hili>tory. use<l condiments very freeJy. Ma old EnglL«ih historian, re^ ferring to the earlier Roman court, mys : "The best magistrates uf Rome allawed but the ninth day f<rr the city anKl pulilick btisuness; the rest; for the couuitry and the, sallet garden." P'rom thiK it would seem as though the ed- ucation of taste was accounted o£ some oouseiciuonoe In thioas dhys. HOUSEHOLD. somif: household hblps. There are any oumber at dish wash- ers advertised, every one of which is' pronounceil tin very Ijmt, but there is still another of which but little has )«en £Sid. and that is a whisk broom. A certain housekeeper keeis two hanging over her sink, one for plates and pot- tery and the other for metal dishes Tijey are easily kept clean by meiely dipping in water and an occasional dipping in hot water to which a little, washing srxla has been added keeps them sweet. The woman wiio has a winter win- dow garden is often puzzled to know what cau»!a her plants to droop, when siie gives them all the care possible. Frequently it is due to the little white worms that infest the earth about the plant. Take a little poiwdered santon- in, abuut aquairter of a teaspoonful. Dissolve in hot water and when cold pcNir over the earth in the pots. This will kill the worms. An infallible destroyer of all vermin is alum. It will destroy red and Idack \ ants, cockroaches, spiders and all cram ling pe<ts which infest our houses Two pounds of alum dia^olved in four quarts of I oiling water, anil placed on j the stove until all the alum seems to; be dbaWved is the recipe. While hoti apply with a lairge brush to every joint ! and crevice infested, be it t)edroom. pantry or clo?et. Add plenty of alum to the lime when making whitewa.^h and it will keep vermin at a distance; alatj wash the point with alum water I and you will have no further trouble. : Kerotiene is desth to moetiuitoes.
