Some years ago hearing a piping of chicks on the side of a manure heap In tile barn yard. I searched and found a nest of self-hatched live and hearty or phans left on the cold world without a mother. And If any living creature knows best how hard a thing it is to be without a mother, it is a new ¡xirn chick. The chicks were saved, how ever, by simply leaving them where they were found and feeding them in a coop fitted to the manure heap, by which the warmth that had brought them safely into this cold world, safely nourished them until they were able to take care of themselves, which they did in a short time. The natural warmth of fermenting manure was used to hatch chicks by ro grow cucumbers suecessfull) thorough manuring and cultivating ar* necessary. In the early spring tht grower» of cucumbers for the market use immense quantities of manure t< force the growth. The seed should lx sown in moist ground, not In the drj soil just at top of the hill. The molsi soil will assist the germination. Tht more common way is to make large hills and put a good lot of manure lr the bottom, even if the whole ground has been previously worked over wltl manure. The manure In the hill should be deep enough and there should bt enough dirt at»ove it to prevent the ten der roots coming Into contact with It To keep off the bugs till the plants art large enough to take care of themselves is always somewhat ot a problem. There are various remedies given. Bui one of the most satisfactory method* Is to have some light muslin cloth with which to cover the hills till the plants get a number of coarse leaves. Tliest cloths are stretched over a frame and the ends covered with the soil. Most ol the Insects feed on the tender leaves | and are not particularly interested it the coarser leaves that come later.— Farmers’ Review.

HOME-MADE INCUBATOR. Reaumur, that noted French scientist who invented the thermometer known by his name. It Is, and has been for 2,000 years, in use by Egyptians for hatching eggs artificially. Mons. Reau mur invented a neat box in which the manure might be placed, and under a nest kept covered by a piece of sheep skin or a bunch or soft hay. to retain the heat of the manure which seems to be naturally that needed to batch chickens. Now this old self-regulating apparatus may lie set a-going by any farmer's boy, who is not averse to the healthful, if disagreeable odor of a manure heap. The apparatus used for this purpose is quite simple. A small barrel, or a box, may serve the purpose; the manure being heaped and covered with straw as a shelter for the nest. A regulator by which air Is given is made in the shape of a pipe or spout having a thermometer hung Inside of it to note the temperature. This device is far more certain than an incubator, heated by a lamp or by boiling water, for while the manure may cool down a lit tle it will never get too hot. and so cook the chickens before their due time. Cer tainly there Is a field for the farmer's boys to try their skill and luck as we may say. and rear some chicks with*»ut the' help or rather worry of the willful cross-grained and generally unsatisfac tory hen. which will as soon as not beat a little chick to death If it stray with in her own special brood.

This beautiful sheep is a fair repre sentative of another descendant of the Southdown breed to which it owes al) those pecularltles. except size, that have been given to every cross bred race of sheep In which the Southdown blood flows. It more closely resembles i Its half parent than the Shropshire does, having a smoother body, a finer fleece, and more of the broad loin than this possesses. It is a new breed, hav ing only been admitted to the English exhibitions as a distinct class ten years ago, although Its foundation began by the first cross of the Southdown on an ancient race, a hardy, horned, black-1 faced sheep existing from time Im memorial in the County of Suffolk, in ’ England.

There is not a great (leal of difficulty In getting rid of Bermuda in a sandy soil, but In upland red clay there Is more difficulty. Flow the sod shallow, an dharrow and rake out all the grass. Then sow the land thickly In peas, using fully one and a half bushels per acre. Fertilize the peas with acid phos phate and potash to get as heavy a growth as possible, and use the Won derful pea. as It grows ranker than any other sort. Mow the peas for hay as soon as well podded, and plow the land at once and harrow and prepare it for oats to be sown in September. Sow red clover with the oats and use plenty of seed, not loss than 15 pounds per acre. The following spring after the oats crop plow the clover down and plant la corn or cotton and work dean.
