Bill Nye Abroad.
Rome Cor. Denver Opinion

iI9lne tor- Denver OplnlOn.J
We arrived in Rome last evening via
the Rock Island road, and an old cattle
friend of mine from North Park, who is
staying here, invited me to come and
visit him during my stay in the city
He has been showing me the town and
telling me all about it. Before the
Christian era Rome was ruled by kings
who were elected for life or during good
behavior. This was done TO curtail cam
paign expenses, so that the surplus
funds could be FILTERED away on bread
and other Roman delicacies. There
was also senate and college of ponti-
fees and two-inch augurs, who explained
the viii of the gods. These augurs be-
came at last great bore (Etruscan relic
found near Roman corraD.
For many years there was a scuabble
between the paCricians and the plebe-
ians. The patricians were people who
had made good deal of money, and
whose blue-blooded daughters showed
their proud and high lineage by elop-
ing with the family coachman. The
plebeians, as rule, were not checked
mp SO high, but they generally got there
Eli with both feet, as q proud Roman
told me yesterday as he socked his
Roman nose in a tumbler of Roman
punch. The present Rome is built over
forty or fifty feet of debris that is between
1000 and 5000 years old. Those who
have been in Chicago when the
street gang was engaged in raking up
old personalities and things that had
been accommodating for fifty years will
remember the subtle odor of the de-
ceased past This puts kind of damper
on building here, and real estate is
rather dead. AT least it is not feeling
well. SO they only build a new house
every fifty or sixty years. Then it takes
half a century for the air to get fresh
again. | have been trying for several
days to find some Roman candles to
take home with me, but have failed so
far. My next letter will be from Verona
or Cbeyenne-I do not know which.
I've got to hear from Eli Perkins first.
We agreed not to write from the same
place at the same time, for we might get
confused

HnusehnId Hints.

A WISE housekeeper is careful where
she keeps her flour, for she knows it is
more readily tainted than milk.
DID you know that milk which has
| turned or changed can be sweetened and
made fit for use again by stirring in q
little soda?
BOILED starch can be much improved
by the addition of little sperm oil or
little salt, or both, or little dissolved
gum arabic.
CLEAR boiling water will remove tea
stains; pour the water through the
stains, and thus prevent its spreading
over the fabric.
COLD rain water and soap will take
'out machine grease. where other means
would not be advisable on account of
colors running, etc.
AN uncomfortably tight shoe may be
made perfectly easy by laying a cloth
wet III hot water across where it pinches,
changing several times. The leather
will shape itself to the foot
A DELICIOUS sauce for plain rice pud-
ding is made by stewing some apples
and grapes until perfectly soft, then rub
them through sieve, sweeten, put
lump of butter in, aud if too thin stir
IN little cornstarch.
KEROSENE will soften leather belts or
boots that have become hard from ex-
posture or use around the Mushroom.
Good for the harness when hard from
rain or dampness. Wash with warm
water, then grease with good animal
oil.
BEEF fritters are nice for breakfast;
chop pieces of steak or cold roast beef
very fine. Make batter of milk, -four
and an egg, and mix the meat with it.
Put lump of butter into a saucepan,
let it melt, then drop the batter into it
from large spoon. Fry until brown;
season with pepper and salt and little
parsley.

Poultry Suggestions.

1t is well IN cleaning out the poultry
houses, not only to take the droppings
from under the roosts, but TO rake up
whatever feathers, ETC., have accumulat-
ed on the ground. Turn up clean, fresh
earth with the fork, and scatter over it
chaff and hay-seed. The pleasure the
fowls will take in scratching for seed,
and rolling in the fresh earth, will be
ample satisfaction for the labor spent.
The best way to kill and dress fowls is
to hang them by the legs, pass sharp
pointed knife, with edge from you,
through the throat, just below the deaf
ear, cutting off the arteries running to
the head, then turn the knife toward
the neck-Done, and while turning back
the head with the left hand, press the
knife until the neck is broken. Take
the wings in the left hand, and strip off
the feathers with the right. They will
pull Oft quite easy while the body is
warm. Ii care Is taken, the skin need
not be broken. Never scald chickens
in dressing, for, unless great care is
used, the thin outside skin will be rub
bed of, which Injuries their appearance
very much, and reduces the value of the
fowls.
In selecting seeds for spring planting.
do not neglect to get seed of the mangel
beet, for these beets make the very best
green food for fowls in winter. II the
water in the dishes is thrown out each
night, trouble and time will be saved in
the morning. Give warm water to fowls
if possible FL. G. B. in American Ag-
riculturist.

A Boston Fashion.
from d Boston Letter. !


Boston families have a fashion of
converting their easements into semi
restaurants, while apparently maintain
ing above the integrity of their private
households. In the basement window
they hang a card bearing the words
Table board. Gentleman, 81 weekly
ladies, $3.50" Or, Gentlemen, $3.50;
ladies, 1915" Boston ladies are pre-
sumed to eat less than the gentlemen.
This assumption is not always satisfac-
torily proven. / am told that ladies
at clearinghouse table attract ger
tlemen. Hence the reduction in prices
[ notice that the curtains of these fam
lily dining rooms are generally so ar
ranged as to give the street public full
view OF the table, the viands and the
company assembled. There seems in
this superior and subtitle sort of man
agement for advertising not only the
fare but the quality of the fairer sex as
sembled at those tables.

Fall Setting Of Traea

Trees should not be taken up or
trauspanted till the leaves have been
removed by frost. Stripping off the
leaves by hand is an unnatural process,
and often Injuries the tree more or less,
according to how early in the season the
operation is performed.
All nut trees and most shade trees, to-
gether with stone fruits, do best when
set in the fall. They should be set
little deeper than in the nursery, and
have the earth mounded up around the
trunk of the tree to steady it against the
wind-storms of early winter and spring.
After the frosts of spring are over and
the ground has settled, this mound NAV
be leveled down and good mulch of
forest leaves and coarse manure be put
IN It's place. AS rule it is well to fall
plant all those varieties of fruit which
are inclined to start very early in the
spring,
We once ordered 300 pear trees from
Northern nursery, and when the trees
arrived the Howells and many others
were taken from the boxes in full
bloom. By clipping off all blossoms
and young leaves and pouring a bucket
of water In each hole when setting the
trees pudding the roots), most of them
survived through that season, but have
been gradually dying during succeeding
seasons, until now but three remain
alive.
The grape vine is another plant we have
found to succeed much better when set
IN the fall. The buds start very early.
and by planting in the fall the earth
gets well settled around the roots be-
fore spring, so that there is full sup
ply of moisture, for while the buds are
expanding, during the bleeding season.
there is great demand for moisture.
Nearly all evergreeps also have done
better with us when transplanted in the
fall Farmer and Fruit Grower.

A Large Grapevine.

Boston Journal: Delaware claims to
have the largest grapevine in the world.
1t is on the farm of Mrs. Chandler, in
Christiana Hundred. The main trunk
Is about feet high, averages in circum-
ference over 80 inches, and is 81 inches
around IN the largest place. Some half
dozen branches issue from the trunk,
each of which is as thick as a mans arm
and spreads itself for many yards over
and through the branches of several
LANCE trees that seem to have reared
themselves especially for the develop
ment of the great vine. Nearly dozen
springs of pure water rise a few feet
away and are source of never fail
ing nourishment to the vine. The vine
is of the raccoon variety, and produces
between twenty-five and thirty bushels
of grapes yearly.

Cost of Insects.

The Country Gentleman says: "The
yearly loss by the depredations of in
sects in the United States has been va
riously estimated at from two to three
hundred million dollars; but although
the amount of crops has been continu-
ally increasing, we have no doubt the
insect losses have decreased, through
the knowledge of cultivators to elude
or destroy them. A late scientific
writer says there is no doubt it would

Fall Rasture

The sprightly Industrialist of the Kan

experience: LAST August we plowed
our wheat stubble for the purpose of
destroying the after growth of weeds.
The weeds are very completely de-
stroyed, and now the ground is occupie
by dense growth of volunteer wheat
which will furnish our stock good feed
until late fall. Why is not this plan
worthy of general trial by Kansas
farmers? Certainly it has some adj
vantages over the common practice of
sowing rye for late and early feed"
