Dear Uncle Mark: I would like to join 
the Y. H. C. We ha ve been taking the Rural 
five years nud we like it very much, I raised 
some potatoes, sweet potatoes and onions last 
Summer. I have planted some White Ele¬ 
phant and Blush potatoes this Spring. I have 
two ducks and a little pig. We have nine 
horses, 21 head of cattle, 21 pigs, Wold chickens, 
and 30 young chickens. We have planted six 
acres of potatoes and will plant about 10 acres 
more. If I am accepted as a Cousin I will 
write again. .tames h. tregemba.

Dear Uncle Mark: I have been very much 
interested in reading the cousin’s letters, and 
would like to join the Y. H. C. My Papa is a 
Canadian fanner and we have taken the 
Rural for a good many years. I am 11 years 
old, and attending school every day. I am 
studying very hard now, preparing for the 
entrance examinations to the Bigli-school. I 
am also taking music lessons, so you see I do 
not get much time to help with the farm 
work, but I like to care for stock, especially 
the horses. Yours truly, 
LESLIE R. BRIDGEMAN. 
Smithville, Ontario. 
Dear Uncle Mark: I want you for my 
Uncle as well as the rest. I am a little girl 11 
years old. My Pa does not take the Rural 
New-Yorker, but Grandpa does and 1 read 
it. I am going to have a garden next year of 
my own. I have two sistei’s and one brother 
and we have 50 chic kens to take care of. We 
have two horses and one colt. Ami we have 
also a cow and two calves. I have some flower 
seed, bnt not very many. The pigs destroyed 
my flowers last year. From your niece, 
Marshall Co., Ia. hktta m. hauser. 
Dear Uncle Mark: Thank you very much 
for the seeds you sent me- Mamma always 
has a hedge of sweet peas between the flowers 
and vegetable garden. Last Summer the 
grasshoppers ate the seed pods, so we could 
not save any seeds, so the sweet peas were very 
acceptable. My Papa is in the sugar bush, and 
I wanted to go too; but as it rained, Mamma 
thought I had better stay at home and write 
to you. We make sugar from 900 trees. We 
have had good times eating sugar and wax. 
As we have had so much snow this Spring; 
and, oh! such fun as we have had making 
candy out of wax. Don’t you wish you had 
been here to help os? I do, but I suppose you 
have to stay and attend to business, reading 
and printing our letter, instead of having fun. 
We keep 36 cows, and last week wo had 24 
calves at a time, two of them twins. 
From your friend, willie w. hunt. 
Chagrin Falls, Ohio. 
[I am a little glad it rained so that you 
could write to me. I guess 1 do wish I could 
go out to the sugar bush. We get the best fun 
we can out of work. We can make work as 
pleasant as play if we will only think so.—u. m.] 
Thousands of people suffer in silent pa¬ 
tience from diseases of the bladder. If there 
is anything more distressing among chronic 
diseases, medical literature has not yet re¬ 
vealed it. A newspaper is no place in which 
to describe the particulars of the agony. 
Every victim knows it for himself, but every 
victim does not know what thousands have 
testified to: that when all other remedies fail, 
they have been restored to • health by means 
of Warner’s safe cure. This great specific 
corrects the action of the kidneys, drives 
the uric acid irritant from ttje blood, re¬ 
duces the congestion, and after a thorough 
course of treatment the formation of mucus 
ceases, the elasticity of the bladder returns, 
and health and happiness are regained.

ials used in its construction when found, 
where placed—whether on the ground, in 
bushes or trees, and if ou trees, whether near 
the body or at the ends of the branches, and 
in all cases the distance from the ground, and 
the kind of tree or bush—number, size, shape, 
general color and markings of the eggs, anti 
the time of hatching. There are other inter¬ 
esting points in this quest for knowledge, such 
as the following: What is the principal food, 
how obtained, whore may the food be most 
easily found, whether they are the friend or 
enemy of the farmer, etc. It is not likely 
that you can learn all of tills in one season, 
but if a record of each season’s observation is 
made, the bird will become well known in 
time. You can study this while going to and 
from your work ou the farm, or on bad days 
when it is too wet “to plow or son', to reap or 
mow,” and you null find pleasure in it. If 
you do not know the name of the bird, give it 
a number in your book, and perhaps you may 
learn its name sometime in the future. Those 
who wish to study plant life can form a list of 
points which they wish to examine, and carry 
it out in the same manner. Uncle Mark will 
please accept my thauks for the sweet peas. 
We bad a small bed of them last year, and 
they gave greater satisfaction than many more 
costly kinds would have given. I raised 13 or 
14 grape-vines from seed sown last Fall a year 
ago, and I succeeded in bringiug 11 of them 
through the Winter, by laying long grass and 
short brush across the row, and throwing dirt 
on the ends of these to keep the wind from 
blowing it away. The buds were nearly all 
colors, ranging from light green to bright red.

Dear Uncle Mark: I like to read the let¬ 
ters from the Cousins, audalso what you say. 
We have had some vei-y cold weather this 
Winter. Once the thermometer showed 35° 
gt another 38° below' zero. My Mamma’s 
health is not very good, so we are living here, 
for a while, near Grandma’s, to give her a 
chance to recover from a very long and severe 
sickness. My Papa is in Texas. He likes it 
there, because he is not troubled so much with 
asthma, I have a largo, fine, Newfoundland 
pup, several months old. His name is Hollo. 
He is bright in learning what he is told. I 
have also some very beautiful young hens. 
They are partly Plymouth Rock and partly 
Poland. Some are all Plymouth Rocks and 
one is all Poland. The mixed ones have the 
plumage of the Plymouth Rocks aud the comb 
and topknot of the Polands. We think they 
are very fine birds. A friend made me a 
present of a trio of Bantams, Nicky, Nip and 
Tuck. My rule Is to clean my bouse every 
day, aud my yards every other day. Not 
quite two years ago, Mamma bought four 
setting hens, two Polands aud some eggs, aud 
offered me the chauce to get some by taking 
care of tlienu Since then we have raised 
more than 200 chickens. Out of my share I 
have bought, several things, and have saved 
five dollars and fifty cents to buy a calf or a 
colt. Should we still and go to a warmer 
country, I should like to try the Leghorns. 
But do not think I am all chicken. I like to 
study and read too. 1 study with Mamma, 
and I like to read History and Biography. 
“Cousin Hortieola” will find some white water 
lilies at the head of the lovely lake, which 
gives our town its name, if ho can come so far 
to get theto. Your friend,

[You have learned the first secret of success 
in poultry raising. The houses and yards 
must lie kept clean, or much of our care will 
be useless. To lie “all chicken” is not the 
worst thing in the world, still I am glad you 
like other tilings too. —u, M.]

In the R. N.-Y. of April 17th, E. M. D. 
writes, “Will some of the Cousins tell me how 
they save Pansy seed?” I do not understand 
what constitutes a genuine Uncle Mark’s 
Cousin; however, as I am a subscriber to the 
R. N.-Y., aud have just celebrated the anni¬ 
versary of my 13th birthday, and haveuotieed 
no reply to the above request, 1 will venture 
to tell my way. I visit my Pansy bed once or 
twice a day and pick off all the seed pods that 
are holding their beads straight out. These 
pods will usually be a lighter green than the 
with bent necks. I put them in a

Mark for ever so many good hints; also both 
U, M. anil Herbert Green for their bee let¬ 
ters. I made several dozen of the Old 
Gardener’s screens, planted some lettuce as 
soon as the ground could be worked, and put 
the screens over half of the lied. Have fre¬ 
quently watered the uncovered half with 
liquid fertilizers, but it cannot keep up with 
the half under the screens. Some of my Ru- 
#al Treasures are up aud growing, but I am 
almost sure I have failed with the Cauua seed. 
I tried a warm soapstone for bottom heat. 
Perhaps a “brooder” would have induced 
them to come up. The one Rieinus seed 
found among the Treasures is growing finely.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 17, 1885.—In April, 
1881, my daughter was taken sick with com¬ 
plication of symptoms. She continued to grow 
worse under the liest medical treatment. Only 
temporary improvement. Had a relapse, 
grew rapidly worse, and at tins time, had pal¬ 
pitation of the heart, intense pain in the head, 
nervous dyspepsia, and physicians said, ca¬ 
tarrh of the bladder. She fell away from 135 
pounds to less than eighty. Began to use 
Warner’s safe cure and Warner’s safe pills, 
together with Wurner’s Safe Nervine. In ten 
days she was much l>etter, and in 1(M) days 
after she gained fifty pounds in weight, uud 
was restored to good health.— Joseph Thorn¬
