FOR THE FARM AND HUME
Eject Of the sun Upon Manure.

It is acommon opinion that exposure
to the sun is injurio is to manure, and
the opinion is probably well founded.
The sun dries the manure-that we
know-and removes the moisture from
it. This moisture in the manure alb
serbs whatever ammonia may have
been formed by the decomposition of
the organic matter, and, of course, the
vapor 81 formed carries off with it the
volatile or gase)u ammonia. So that
the exposure of manure to the sun
with repeated mo.stening and drying
of the manure will in time completely
remove all the valuable nitrogen in it,
from which the ammonia is derived,
and which is the most useful part of
the manure.

many species of beetles bury their

Mems Hats.

esth
Themain importations of hats are u
New York and New Orleans, in the
latter case for the French residents. The
factories for the manufacture of fur
hats are mainly in New Jersey, with a
few in Brooklyn and Yonkers. Light
Plugs as they are denominatel |, are
made the same as stiff hats. There is
said to be as much in value of wool
hats sold as fur hats. A
wool hat is worth not over
half as much as a fur hat. From
these figures there must b. almost
twice as many wool hats as fur hats
worn. The sale of wool bats is mainly
outside of New York and in part, of
the country where quality is not taken
50 much into consideration by pur-
chasers. Fur hatsare closely initiated,
but a little wear will show the gross
ness of the wool. Most of the wool
hat are made at Reading, Penn, Dan
bury, Conn.,, Bridgeport, Conn, and
vicinity, Boston, Mass, Mattewan and
Yonkers. California and Cape of Good
Hope wool and Ohio leeces are used
in making hats. The wool is first
scourel to take out the grease and
foreign substances, then cardel, and
after that the process IS about the
same as making fur hats. In England,
wool Is to some extent mixed with fur
in making hats. Caps r almost a
distinct Industry, as they are mainly
ma lie of doth, although S me are
"blown" the same as hats. Old hats
do not go to vase. Italian ragpickers
rescue them from barrels, they find
their way to the fur dealers and are
cut W and made mo hats again. In
the hating district are establishments
of every kind pertaining to the trade,
There are hattars' printers offices,
sweat-band makers, corl and tassel
makers, dealers in trimmings, shellac
and color, and packing "a e makers

The First BOwie.kuife.

James Bowie and two younger broth.
ers emigrated from Maryland and set.
tied in Mississippi, near Natchez, in
1925. They were men of means and
well edu ated, They opened up a
cotton plantation. But James Bowie
was naturally of a rowing disposition,
and was particularly fond of hunting
In those days it was no trouble to find
game, and consequently James was in
his element. He whitfield out OF a piece
of cypress what he thought would be
a good model for II hunting-knife, and
had a blacksmith named Allison, in
Natchez, t. make him one from his
model. This WIS the first bowie.
knife. This | believe to be a true his
tory of this noted knifc. lie thought
it so perfect for what he intended it
for that he took out a patent for it,
and sold the right to a Philadelphia
firm, who flooded the country with
these knives.
The celebrated fight in which four
men were killed, including a brother
of James Bowie, which occurred on
the Willow bar. and in which tradition
says the bowie-knife was so freely
used, happened in 1890, two years be.
fore the knife was invented. James
Bowie was killed at the taking of

Anatomical Requisites Of Shoes,

According to Surgeon Zeig,er, of
the Swiss army, the anatomical test of
a perfect pair Of shoes is that, when
placed together, they touch only at the
toes and heels-the solCs should also
follow the sinuosities of the feet, and,
t. give room for their expansion,
should exceed them in length by fifteen
or twenty millimetCrS. II is stated by
Iiagler that the Swiss examining SUI
gen are compelled to re EFT every
year as many recruits as would make
up a battalion, for malformation of
the feet, resulting from badly fitting
shoes. The foot, he says, is in reality
a bow, 50 elastic that, at every step, it
contracts and expands, lengthens and
shortens, and a line drawn through
the center of the great toe intersects
Il Q heel; and as in the making Of
shoes room enough is not given for
the lateral extension of the great toe,
it is forced against the other toes, Civ

times to veritable artieulas inlamma.

If fed when fresh and with otheI
foods whey has considerable value a
q food for pigs. Use daily AM fol
wetting cornmeal, wheat, shorts ant
other grains.
a writer recommends as the best
fertilizer for fruits an most cereal
crops a mixture of finely ground fresh
bones and COOL wood ashes six bar
rels of the former and twelve of the
latter, to be well mixel together On 3
shed floor, adding during the mixing
twenty buckets of water and enc bar
rel of gypsum or plaster.
Charcoal has considerable manurial
value, especially if applied On rich
ground, the ammonia of which it alb
serbs and gives out as the plant roots
require. 1t also improves the mechan.
ical texture of the soil, whether light
or heavy, and its dark color holds the
heat from the sun, making the land
warm and early. The remains of old
charcoal pits always make the best
land in the field for many years there
after.
When calves are five or six days old
take them off the COW and feed them,
lightly at first ; when ten or twelve
days old, put a handful of wheat bran
in the pail. AS they grow older add
to their feed. yet there is more danger
of hurting by feeding too much than
not enough. When two months old
turn them to grass. When brought
to the barn in the fall, feed with two
parts of wheat bran and n part Of
Indian meal, about one quart per head
daily. In the spring they come out
like two year-olds. Never feed sour
milk, nor buttermilk, though new milk
is not Objectionable.
Frequent cultivation is a good sub
stitute fer manure, but pays much
better with manure than without.
This we have tried on garden crops,
especially cabbage, potatoes, beans,
onions and other root crops. And old
saw has come down to us from the
fathers that he who would have early
cabbage sprouts must hoe them every
morning before breakfast. We have
tried this in s~pringtime for mornings
enough to prove that it is rot n Of
the old wives fables. In the early
morning the dew is on, and this is
,harged with an available amount of
ammonia which, of course, feeds the
roots below. If the surface is neg.
ected a crust forms and the air does

Rccincs.

RICE FRIrTERs.-Take two teacup.
fuls of boiled rice, cooled and mashed,
one pint of milk, M egg, a handful OF
flour; season with a little salt. Have
a pan of lard boiling hot; put them in
and fry quickly.
DREAMED POTATOES Take one
cupful of milk, a teaspoonful of butter,
sat and pepper to taste; put the but.
ter in a small frying-pan,and when hot,
but before it browns, add enough flour
to thickcn; stir till smooth, and gradu-
ally add tie milk; have your cold boiled
potatoes ready sliced, turn them into
this and let them gradually heat
through; a very little nutmeg grated
over the potatoes before frying i'm
proves the flavor. Salt and pepper and
serve.
SrlNACH.-Spinach treated in this
way is very good After boiling until
it is tend'r drain it by placing it on a
sieve and taking care to have I'LL the
water drained out; thea chop it quite
fine and put it in a frying-pan with a
good large lump of butter, some pepper
and salt, stir it and let it heat for
about five minutes; serve it hot, with
a little vinegar poured over it and
with hard-boiled eggs cut in slices and
arranged around the edge of the dish
Lemon juice may be used in place of
vinegar if you prefer it, and in that
case send the lemon cut in halves to
the table on a s parate dish.
TAPlOCA AND RHUBARB.-Soak a
quarter of a pouad of tapioca in n
~tcacupful of boiling water for Il few
minutes, then mix with it in a nice
clean pot one pound of rhubar5, washed
well, and cut up into very small pieces,
a quarter of a pound of sugar, half d
teaspoonful of ground ginger, half a
teaspoonful of butter. Tut it on the
fire and let it stew for half an hour,
stirring it often. Put it then into a
mold of some kind, and when cool it
will turn out Il pretty firm shape. AT
present the rhubarb contains a very
large amount Of water, which will de.
crease as the season advances, when a
little more water may he added to the
tapioca.
DaIED CORN.-Dried corn ought to
Do made palatahle, and be frequently
seen on the dinner table. but many
people who like eern dislike this stuff
because it is not cooked properly; il
should always be put to soak in luke.
warm water the afternoon of the day
before it is to be eaten. Donot throw
away the water in which it is soaked,
OF then you lose much of the best there
is in the corn. Then early, at least
two hours before dinner, put it in .
saucepan y the fire, and let it cook
slowly but steadily until it is tender.
A little cream added to the milk, but.
ter, pepper and salt are de ;irable, and
a %teaSpoonful OF sugar will sometimes
do wonders in giving flavor to the dish
