1t is creditable state of mind
which impels one to always buy the

not always so. For some kinds of cook
ing moist brown sugar is preferable
to the best white. In soft gingerbread
this is especially true. Then for ginger

The Massachusetts, Plougbman says
that ''every orchardist should be urged
to destroy the small apples as fast as

moths as they ascend the tree to lay
eggs for a second crop of worms, for it
is the second crop more than the first
crop that does the injury. To catch
the moths band of cotton around the
trunk of the tree near the branches will
do good, if frequent examinations are
made, and the moths killed. No doubt
the most ef1ectual and probably the
cheaper way to get rid of the codling
moth is to turn pigs enough in the
orchard to eat the apples as fast as they
drop"

Skinned Milk for Hens and Chickens.

There is nothing better for laying
hens in the spring than milk, after the
cream has been taken Off We have
tried it several seasons with complete
success. With the milk given fresh
from the dairy room every day, the
fowls will need no other drink, and it
will supply everything required in the
way of animal food. The pullets fed
with milk and corn, and mixture of
corn meal and milk, through the cold
weather have given an abundant sup
ply of eggs. Wheat bran is also a good
article to mix with the milk. 1t is bet
ter to give the mixture boiling and to
feed it in the warm state, but this is
not necessary. We have also found
the milk one of the best kinds of diet
for young chickens, soon after they
come from the nest, to promote their
health and rapid growth. Indian meal,
ground coarse and scalded with milk,
is perfect feed for them. AS they
grow older, grass, cabbage or onions
may be chopped fine and added to the
daily rations. A portion of the milk
on dairy farms usually going to the pig
trough may be diverted to the chicken
coop with great advantage. Eggs are
worth twenty-five cents a dozen, and
poultry twenty cents pound, when
pork brings but ten cents pound in
the market. american AgriculturiSt.

Parasites on Dead Trees.

There are parasites, so-called, which
flourish Just as well upon dead tree as
any other support, thus proving they
are epiphites and not true parasites.
The roots adhere to the bark of trees
and do not penetrate to rob the life
blood of others. Not content with this
existence, other plants of this strange
class draw to themselves atom after
atom of dust and mold, so that they
wrap around their roots and their
elevated perches handful after handful
of earth, and still gorging as the APP
petite grows stronger, they share the
common fate of gluttony and come
topping down, thus making room for
the trees, the effect of this horde of
parasites and air-plants is always pc
culiar in the extreme. The parasites
are often beautiful, yet their presence
occasionally detracts from the beauty
of tree, and the thing grows ludicrous
when you catch sight of some huge
plant Just balancing itself, with SEEM
ing difficulty, on loose piece of bark
that its own rank roots have displaced
while it sought a firner footing, till now
it hangs trembling on a single tiny
straining thread. Even when one has
grown familiar with it all it still re-
mains an enchanted land. One need
not be possessed of any over-strong
imagination to say, as he stands gazing
at the parasites: "All these once grew
in their native bed, low at the foot of
these sail trees. Then came some gem
and with his marvellous spade flung
both plant and sufficient earth to nourish
it high among the limbs" There they
still lodge-the power of enchantment
is not yet dissolved, and you whose
fascinated gaze is held in thrall may ad-
mire and wonder, but you will not live
till the spell is broken.-Pdrd (BraziI)
Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.
