Book Farming"

As times now go, the book must guide
tho pillow, just os the boob guides thO
locomotive, the steamship and the spin
die and regulates every other industry
under the sun. Farming is a progress
sive science like others of the present
time. and if the farmer is to succeed he
must keep abreast of his age. The best
doctors. lawyers. teachers and preach
ers are the men who keep up pith their
times and read everything in their line
of business; so the best farmer is he
who does likewise. No trade or pro
fession is at present so strong as to be
able to dispense with literary assistance
none is so weak as not to seek 1t. line
literature of any trade is but the record
of the successes or failures of those who
have engaged in it. Men learn by then
mistakes quite as much as by their sue
| cesses, and sometimes better, and the
literature of farming is but the record
of what the farmers of the world have
done for their calling. He who knows
WHY others have succeed ed and where
! tbey have failed, will be armedfor success
and steeled against failure; so the boo
and the pillow should go hand in hand
and the man who holds the n should
hold the other also. The age whel
men could farm without reading ha'
gone by. and the farmer who does no
read will find himself so far behind III
calling In everything as to render hln
a useless member of his grange.

Prepare the soil in your garden this
fall. Manure well, pillow deep and pro-
vide drainage of some kind, and then
you can plant as soon as the frost is out
and have the crops growing while you
are planting and sowing your fields. A
garden is the most valuable part of the
whole farm in proportion to its size;
yet some farmers think it is boys play
and that the manure and labor is wasted,
and will take some little, cold corner
behind the barn, where it cannot be half
plowed, and stick in a few hills of po-
tatoes and a few bean poles and a hill
Of cucumbers, Just before haying, and
call it a garden. They seem to think
that what is grown in the field is more
valuable, ever if it is put to the same
use. What a farmer raises for the table
he does not have to buy, and an ear OF
green corn from field or garden is worth
more for food than it is when ripe, and
the more attention is given to the gar
den, so as to secure green food early and
lengthen out the season by late plant
ings the cheaper the family a live and
the more fresh, enjoyable dinners they
can have on the table.
Look over a seed catalogue this fall,
now, at once, and see what you want in
the garden and then prepare your gar
den accordingly.

Earthing up Celery.

Here is the way celery is earthed up
to blanch in this neighborhood First,
the earth is worked up to 1t with the
hands, the leaves being held close to-
eether with one hand; this is what Is
termed handling. Then it is allowed to
GROW for a week OF ten days, when COM
mon brown wrapping paper is wrapped
around the stalks and tied with twlne'
and the earth is worked up to within
Z inch of the top of the paper. In
about a week or ten days it is wrapped
and tied as before, and the earth IS par
tally worked up to the top OF the pa,
ner. In a short time it will be blanched
sufficiently for use, which may be known
bv the blanched stalks growing out at
the top of the paper. For crlspness'
tenderness, and finefavor, l think ceie-
nv grown in this way cannot be excelled'
Certainly, it takes work to tie and wrap
it. but 1 think all lovers of tins excei-
lent vegetable will feel repaid for the
extra work when they have eaten II

Care of Milk.

In a prize essay in the Rural New
Yorker Professor j. N. Muncey gives
the following results Of experiment;
First, milk set at 80 degrees in water
at 40 degrees for tw~enty-four hours,
will yield more cream and butter than
milk set ut 80 degrees in water at 60
degrees for the same time. Second,
Milk set at 80 degrees in water at 90
degrees for twenty-four hours, Will
Weld more cream and butter than the
same milk cooled to 80 degrees before
setting. Third, Milk set at 80 degrees
in vessel four inches deep, in a o at
go to 60 degrees, for tweuty-four hours,
will raise more cream and make poorer
butter than milk set by the first two
propositions. Practically, then, the
most cream is obtained from the milk
when it is set as it comes from the COW
at about so degrees-and gradually
cooled to, say, 80 degrees before aeldl-
fication. Milk in the creamer or else
where should be cooled so rapidly that
%acidifcati IN does not begin until the
cream has r1sen.

Gallery Growing.

In her prize essay on celery in Vick's
Magazine. Mrs. G. II. Root, of Ripon,
Wis. recommends the following meth
cd of preparing for and cultivating the
crop:
/. Send where you will be sure to
get good seed.
8. Prepare a seed bed out of doors
in a sheltering situation. You will get
vour plants early enough by so doing,
for they grow much faster and are
stronger than when in a hot bed.
2. Sprinkle the bed often to keep 1t
moist. and when the young plants are
obout three inches high transplant
them into rows. putting them about
three inches apart and the rows about
one foot from each other.
a When the plants have become
stockv. have q trench dug about one
foot deep; put into it equal parts OF
wood ashes and good, rich dressing and
rich black soil, and mix all together
with a hoe.
< Set the plants about five inches
orort and be sure to straighten out thC
roots and press the earth firmly about
them. :,
kaen them fresh until they are firm II
their places, and then give them all tn
water YOU have a mind to, the more the
better. r.ovtl

Keep the Best.

The New York Tribune says that
canital error-because a waste OF capl-
tai ON the FARMS to keep poor horses
and COWS. A $5O-horse is not worth
one-fourth as much as one that is worth
800. 1t will eat as much and cost as
mnch for harness, and will neither do
as much work nor live so long. A $2o
COW that makes three pounds OF put
ter in a week, costs as much for every
thing, labor and utensils included, as
n worth 800 that makes 10 pounds a
week. Another error is to work poor
land. Many a man has broken his back
and lost his heart on a poor farm whlcn
he has suffered to run down by oao

over, hill up enough to hold the stalks
erect. Continue the killing process
at intervals of two weeks, all summer,
being careful to do it when the weather
is dry and in the afternoon when the
dew is off. Be sure, when killing, to
hold the stalks together, to prevent the
soil from getting into the heart of the
plants.

Fashion Notes.

Quantities Of red appear in new mil
linery.
Murray is a new shade between vio-
loft and claret color.
Corselets of Swedish kid are en-
broidered with gold and silver cord and
beads.
Dark red and blue is to be the fash
;onable combination in dress and mil
linery this fall.
More dresses of black silk will prob
ably be worn ION the street this winter
than any other material.
Bonnets made entirely of black lace
are popular just now for evening wear
among middle-aged women.
Round turbans are to be revived to
some extent and a good many of the
ladies' hats will be made of plush.
Crinoline is on the increase. One
may as we'll take q long, last look at the
present tight and shapely mode.
Fob Chains are considered stylish
for ladies wear, with plain tailor-made
suits that have vests with slit pockets.
Bonnet Strings of bias velvet are tied
under the chin in two broad loops, with
very short shapely pointed ends.
Birds of rich plumage will continue
to be worn on ladies' tall hats for the
promenade, but not to church OF visit
ing.
Among the newest handkerchiefs are
those made with red and black borders
on which are ~grotesque little imps in
colors.
For Fall wear the straight chokeT
collar will not be as much worn by men
as the English collars turned over in

odd Jobs for Farmers.

There is a chance on the farm, says
the Rural New Yorker, to make use of
idle times and rainy days, to do more
than mend broken harness and tools,
or loaf about the barn. With a few
good tools the time can be well spent in
making such things as are needed about
house and barn, and which can be sim
plv made. 1t is often a choice between
doing without or making many conven-
lent things, and when possible, 1t is, OF
course, the best way to make them.
After stepping up two feet to get into
the house for weeks, or using a loose,
shaking board resting on chunks OF
wood for a step, the time given to make
a strong, permanent set of steps seems
well used. Making and driving in
strong pegs for hanging the harness, or
fashioning a box with q lid for curry
comb, cards and brushes, will make a
man wonder how he managed to do
without them. The boys will make
good use of the tools, for if they make
nothing of practical value at first, they
will learn how to use them. The chick
en-coops that fall to pieces when moved,
ladders that let the boys down faster
than they want to come, when tired,
and benches with very uneven legs,
will be followed by better work, and
convenient things will multiply under
their hands, when they fairly
stand how to make them.

Forty-fve Years Steamship Build

The Cunard Steamship Company
have recently put two of the largest
and most powerful merchant steam
ships afoat in the world. These are
the Umbria and the EuIrGria. 1t is
now about forty-fve years since the
britannia was launched. That steam
shin was considered the wonder of the
world. She was the first steamship
put afoat by the Cunard Company.
That ship was 2O7 feet long; her ton
mage was 1,155; she carried 800 tons
of coal, and wa of $50 horsepower.
Her speed was eight and a half knots
an hour. Her freight capacity was 900
tons beyond her coal supply, and she
had accommodations for 12O passengers,
Forty-fve years afterward the same
company launched the Eutrurla, a ship
500 feet long and of about 5000 tons.
She will carry 2, 800 tons OF coal, to
supply her IA, 000-horse-pow er engines,
and is calculated to make a speed OF
nineteen knots an hour, and to
accommodate 1,500 passengers, besides
a crew of probably not less than
100. The Umbria substantially
answers the same description. Two
or three years ago the Arizona,
owned by the same company, made the
passage across the Atlantic, from land
to land, in seven days and seven hours.
The owners of the Eutruia expect that
that steamship will make the passage
twenty fonr hours Don or in SIX days
and seven hours. Upto this date nc
steamships have been built for the sole
transportation of passengers across the
Atlantic. A steamship enterprise was
planned on paper, but got much
further. The builder of the Eutruria
intimated that the time had come whe1
there would be a profit in constructing
ocean steamers solely for passengers

From Go6ey's Lady's Book.
Among the dear delights of the young
women of the period let us recommend
pedestrianism. Walking clubs are
among the popular organizations This
summer. A coaching club is more OF
less of an expense, but the highways
are free to foot passengers. A number
of clubs, composed entirely of young
ladies, have been organized for briei
summer rambles of a days duration.
The costume adopted is usually 9
rough-and-ready mountain suit, with 8
helmet hat, stout shoes, perhaps of al
ligator skin, with a small knapsack and
walking stick. When the party is
formed for a tour through the noun
tains or lakes there is usually an addi-
| ton of gentlemen and chaperones. The
gentlemen adopt a knickerbocker cos
tune, which is found to be of service
in "wheel parties" or bicycle meets

woman,s Approach to Mans Dress.

"At the theatre, the other evening"
saws a writer in the New York World.
"I had the pleasure of sitting near q
young lady whose dress shot up at the
shoulders like the ears of a rabbit, and
1 was once more reminded of the mas
culine freaks that female fashions now
take to with such marked degree. Why
should the sleeves of a lady's dress K
tend two inches above her shouldersE
For no other reason than that men In
4ho raiIi4Ary wear epRulotteS. WIZ Dc
ladies wear tailor-made suits? Because
men do. Why do women wear listers?
Because men do. Why do women wear
stiff white collars about their necks?
Because men do. Have you thought
of the gradual approach toward mans
dress that the women have made IN the
last ten years? The old female dress
reformers started wrong. They wanted
70 put bloomers on the mn That
would not do. Neither would trousers,
such as Doctor Mary Walker wears.
No modest woman could Jump out OF
dress into a pair of trousers and pre-,
serve her self-respect and the respect
of her masculine admirers. The APP
proach of a male costume was by 8
more circuitous route, and the result
reached is both pleasing and endurable.
Feminine attire is not so feminine as II
used to be, and 1t is altogether sensible
and proper that it should not be. Take
a girl now dressed in an I'll.
