water. When cold stir in as much
flour as will give 1t the consistenco OF
thick cream, being particular to beat

dared resin as will lie on a half-dime,

FLOWER GARDEN AND LAwN.-The
planning for the planting OF ornSmen-
tai trees should have been done before
the time fer setting them. Evergreens
may be left until later, and Will neeu
more care their roots should never De
allowed 10 become dry. The lawn will
need @ dressing OF some klndi ashes,
guano, or some fertilizer may be ap-
piled; use manure only when il is fine
and thsrOughly rotted, with no weed
seeds alive In 1t. For new lawns upon
q heavy soil SOW Kentucky Blue Grass;
on light sandy soil, red top with white
clover, is best; all the way from three
to six bushels 10 the acre are advised.
Sow halt the seed in one direction and
cross-Sow with the other half. This
work should be done as soon as the
land has been put in the proper con-
dition. Where sodding is TO be done
first thoroughly enrich the soil, make
the surface even, and 10 press the
sods down firmly use board and heavy
ponnder. LII the walks and drives need
repairs, attend TO them when the
ground haS settled. Beds OF bulbs may
be uncovered as soon as the frosty
nights are over. Ii beds OF flowers are
TO be planted the designs should be
made, and their location In the glouGds,
and other details decided upon before

TIE question is raised whether it is
right 10 color butter artifioially. Since
the coloring of butter Is probably due
to eoloFing matter in the food, as well
as to the power of the cow to remove
the same from the food, the question
may be asked whether these is any
more wrong In putting the color into
the butter than In supplying food TO
the animal which will cause the cow
10 give milk, the cream OF which will
make yellow butter. At all events, as
the coIoring Is now made from harm
less substances, and the colored butter
is as pure and good as the uncolored
(when properly done). and as the peo-
pie prefer the colored butter we think
the bene tir of the doubt belongs on the
side of the farmer.

RED HANDs.-Kecp some oatmeal
on the washstand, and as often as the
hands are washed, rub little or the
oatmeal over them; then rinse lt of,
and, when dry, put on lIttle bit OF
pomade made as follows: Take ten
cents worth Of white wax, three ditto
of spermacetl, three ditto of powdered
camphor and olive oil enough to make
1t the thickness of soap; put Ii in q
gallipot, and let it stand In an oven to
melt; and when cold, it will be found
very good for the hands. Gloves, worn
either In the day or night, will help
to keep the hands white.

AGRICULTURE.

TRorrHIFsoME INSECTS. These may
infest your plants, and II allowed TO
remain do much damage. Green fly
nor ALWAYS green, but varying from
yellow TO green according 70 what 1t
eats---is the com monest pest and the
easiest to get rid of. You may bruise
them TO death between your fingers
with a sponge or brush; but Ii you
merely rub them off, they fall down
only to jump up again. Better take
YOUR plants out to the kitchen or wood
shed. and there wash off all vermin.
This you can do with clean water. In
greenhouses, fum'gating with tobacco
smoke and dipping the crops never the
roots OF plants in tobacco water are
the ways employed to destroy green
fiy. Red spider Is minute insect, ex-
ceedingly destructive and hard to era
dicate. It appears like brown, red or
yellow particles of dust, usually on the
under side OF the leaves. Its presence
In observable by the scared, sickly,
yej1owish look of the leaves. Frequent
and thorough washings with water
will remove it.
Scales infest leaves and stems, and
sometimes stick close to the bark as 20
appear beneath 1t. They mnst be
washed, rubbed or scraped off. Mealy
bugs are covered with white powder
and lodge on the under sides Of leaves,
st leaf and branch joints, in wounds,
or anywhere where there is ragged
place, and have good choice for flower
clusters. They may be wiped or brush
ed of, and, if in holes or crevices,
bruised 10 death by pointed snzk.
Thrip is q nimble black insect, exceed
ingly pernicious, and very fond of
ferns, azaleas. lilies of any sort, cali
as and the like. Their work is dlscer-
nible In rusty brownish or yellowish
blotches and traclngs on the leaves,
which they very soon destroy. The
old or black ones are hard to kill. They
should be bruised to death by the fin-
gers. Tie young or yellowish ones
should be bruised by sponging. Better
take the infested plants outside, wipe
OF the vermIn with sponge, shower
with clean water afterwards, and then
r,turn the plants TO the window. In
greenhouses thrips are killed by tobac-
co smoke.

Cast iron was not IN commercial use
before the year 1700, when Abraham
Darby, an intelligent mechanic, who
had brought some Dutch workmen to
establish brass foundry at Bristol,
England, conceived the idea that iron
might be substituted for brass. This
his wOrkmen did not succeed in effect
Ing, being probably toomuch prejudiced
In favor of the metal with which they
were best acquainted. A Welsh snep-
herd-boy named John Thomas had,
some time previous to this, been re-
ceived by Abraham Darby into his
workshop on the recommendation OF q
distant relative. While looking on dur
Ing the experiments of the Dutch
wOrkmen, he said to Abraham Darby
that he thought he saw where they had
missed Ii. He begged to be allowed to
try; so he and Abraham Darby re-
mained alone In the workshop all night
struggling with the refractory metal
and imperfect moulds. The hours
passed on and daylight appeared, but
neither would leave his task and just
as morning dawned they succeeded in
casting an iron pot complete. The boy
entered Into an agreement with Abra-
ham Darby to, serve him and keep the
secret. He was enticed by the offer of
double wages TO leave his master, but
he continued faithful, and from 1909 10
1892 the family Of Thomas were conf
Dental and much-valued agents to che
descendants of Abraham Darby. For
more than one hundred years after the
night in which Thomas and his master
succeeded in making an iron casting
in mould of fine sand contained in
frames and with air holes the same
process was practiced and kept secret
1t ColebroGk Dale with plugged key
holes and barred doors.
