The cattle of the Southwest often have very little attention. Th e condition of the cattle industry renders this inevit able, explains Ralph S. Tarr, of Texas, lor the herds of various ranchmen mi x together, and often march mile3 away from their proper range. Consequently, no one feels directly responsible for the welfare of the animals, and the owners do not know their condition except at the rouuding-up sea9on. One of the effects of this system is that cattle often suffer for salt, and un less a person has seen how the animals crave salt he can have little lden ho w greatly they really need it. I have ha d one or two rather disagreeable experi ences with cattle in need of salt. Once on returning to the wagon from a short' 1 absence I found several cattle tearing | tne wogon cover and eating a ba g of flour, my enly one, and a t a distance of thirty-five miles from a store. Enough, wes scraped up for a few meals, but \it i taught a lesson, and after that every- | thing which a steer would eat was placed: j well out of the way. At another time, j having pitched camp, both my driver' ] an.l I went out for game, and on return- lug in a short time wc found a group of I cattle about the wagon, one chewing a ; ' re .n and another trying to destroy ai ! collar, evidently for the salt coming from the peispiratian, in the one case 1 from t '.ie hand, in the other from th e horse. Xo t long after a ham which wc had hung on a bush near the tent was entirely destroyed by hungry cattle for salt After that nothing except hard ware was left outride of the tent. I I'liat cattle need salt every fanner krows. But it is not ulnars remem- 1 b'-rci how greatly they need it. Before the country was settled wild animals made long pilgrimages t o salt licks, notwithstanding the danger Predatory animals lurked nbout these places, and that many a creature died while there is testified t o by the abundance of bones which are found near theses tit deposits. Eiicn on e is a veritable animal grave yard, and its relics tell of the former existence on the contintmt of mauy ani mals which have vanished from ts e face of the earth. Tho call for suit which th e system makes cannot be better testified to than by this fact that the most timid animals went regularly to salt deposits where it was certain that dangerous ene mies laid in wait for them,— American Agriculturist. THE GREAT TOINT IX WASniN'O WOOLENS Never soak woolen garments. Slake a strong lather of soap with very hot water, let it cool, and when lukewarm wash the flannels quickly, without ever rubbing soup on them. Shake them in the water, clap them between the hands, but avoid th e ordinary rubbiug, as i t is apt to pull them out of snupe. If not cleun repeat the process with a fresh lather; rinse at ouce in clean, tepid water, without blue, changing the water until there is not a trace of soap left; shuke each garment out well, pull it into shape, hang out to dry as quickly as possible, bu t tlo not let the things be near a ho t fire. Rapidity is the great point in following out these iustruc tions.— Brooklyn Citizen. THE ACCIDENT DRAWER.

BULl'UATE OF AMMONIA AS TLANT FOOD. Sulphate of ammonia is of special in terest to the agriculturist, as with the exception of Peruvian guano it is th e only commercial source of ammonia within th e farmer's reach. It is prepared from th e ammoniacal water, which is ob tained in the manufacture of ga s from coal. Th o sulphate, no t being a complete manure, is seldom, if ever applied alone, not even when i n a course of rotation it follows a phosphatic manure. I t is very useful ivhcu employed as an adjunct to the slow-acting manures, it increases the the vigor of the plants anel enables them to take u p more cf the other kinds of food, in a given time, than they would or could otherwise do . Sulphate of ammonia may bo applied, cither as a to p dressing, or, i t ma y be •worked in th o soil just previous to tho seeding of a crop . I t is usually applied at th e rate of 100 to 125 pounds per acre. JIany farmers mi x the sulphate with three or four times its bulk of loam in order to insure a more even distribution. Sulphate of ammopia is most largely employed o a grain crops. Progressive farmers also us e light dressings of the sulphate with fine effect ou their grass I soda. I Nothing makes a better protection for beds of perennials than forest lcives, a little dirt sprinkled over thzm will hold in place. I fee that the plows are well cleaned, beams painted, shares sharp—then all j unpaintcd iron or steel parts smeared ; with tallow. \ I Money spent in improving property j will usually yield more profit an d happiness than money spent in makin g ' payments on more property than can 1 properly bo managed. I Watch your farm expenses and bv I sure that your income always exceeeH j your expenditure. In order to know your standing, you will have to keep an ] account-book, of course. Certain varieties of our oldest and best • known fruits of to-day are just as profit able as ever; so tho theory of injury b y lang-continued propagation has nothing to do with failure. Tho Btirtlott and Scckcl pears arc fair examples of this. Not every farmer has the time or tasto to cultivate flowers an d shrubbery to much extent, and i t is better not to plant at all than t o plant an d then neglect, but thcro are two things which cost little yet will beautify the home acre on any farm.

Mow Tarrots Ara Brongti t by Stoamat from aioslco and Cubs, One of the Ward line steamers ar . rived here last week with th e largest numbe r of parrots on board evet brough t to this city, says th e New York Recorder. They were tho prop, erty of a set of speculators who fairly \plunged\ in parrots, and who counted on making a big thing out of the Im portation. At Tamplco a shipment was made of 500 birds. Of course they ha d t o be kept on deck, and matters promised to be lively. When Havana was reached 000 more parrots were hoisted on hoard The clamor be came awful. No parrot could be in duced to sleep after 4 o'ckick In the morning, and they held a succession of indignation meetings till night, in troducing into their debates a few o l the unparliamentary expressions in. dulged in by th e rudely awakened passengers. The birds were nearly al l very young an d not In full ulumage The natives of Mexico are green, wit h yellow heads, and llic Cuban birds quite throw them In the shade with their white heads, red necks, an d green an d blue bodies. In spite of this grandeui the Havana speculator only valued his gaudy stock a t a couple of dollars apiece, while the men from Mexico counted theirs at $4 or $5 The poor little things were scarcely able to eat and th e attendants of the Mexican birds spent al l day and part of the night administering masses oI crackers soaked in milk and water, opening their hills' and fairly cram ming the food down their throats. The others were less fortunate: their dinner was poked into the boxes, and they ate i t or not, a s they wen able, and in consequence nearly half of them died Severa l days from forty to fifty soft little green bodies were thrown ouTboarel. liy the time Ni'W York was reached they were sufllcii'iitly thinned out t o make their survivors cmitollable. The boxes in which parrots ar e transported are rough wooden affairs MX feet by two feet high and deep, tin* front ami back covered with wire netting, and a long, rough perch in- scrliil In most cases the birds ar e packed in as lightly as an.trials in a •attle-car, and nuiiibcrh uf tUciu never Miivt 'i -d in gelling down to the fooel cups. For sonic mysterious reason na Wiiterisgivi'ii them except that which moistens the cruekers . and it is really a easi n( sur\i\al of the litest, only a ven robust bird living through theso dais and nights of torture. Then it is a very bed ragged and di- lapidated, tail-feathcrli 'ss object that is presented in the inspector 's gaze, and it takes fully a fortnight to re store the smoothness eif plumage an d vivacitj of ili-po-ition which is the stock in trade of a parrot.
