TO WeNr Uniforms.

On and after May 1 the male employees
of the United States Lighthouse Estab-
lishment, including about twelve hun
bred lighthouse keepers and the keepers
and crews of lightships and tenders, will
be obliged to wear regulation uniform
of blue, with cap or hemlet and brass
buttons. Many of these men are stationed
on remote headlands and islands along
the coast and do not visit the haunts OF
men from one years end to another.
These will not be able to display their
gorgeousness save to the observant water
fowl and contemplative clam, but the
lighthouse board, which has ordered the
uniforming, believes the men will be all
the better for it. The department is I'M
der species of military discipline, and
military clothes, it thinks, will enhance
the esprit de corps of the organization.
The men will be furnished with their uni
forms at ST each for flannel and $21 for
kersey suits. The regulation buttons
will be ornamented with the monogram
"U. S." and the letters "L. II. E" sig
nifying lighthouse establishment.
Captain George n Brown, United
States Navy Lighthouse inspector of the
Third district, which embraces the terri
tory between the Massachusetts line and
Barnegat, also the Hudson river and
Lake Champlain, said that all the 800
men under him were pleased at the order.
They could get first rate suit of clothes
at much lower price than in any other
way. Captain Brown thought it would
be well for the government to provide
uniforms free of charge, as the men in the
department do not receive very high pay.
Ida Lewis and her sister lighthouse
keepers, of whom there are few in the
service, will not share in the privileges
Of penalties connected with the uniform
rule, nor will those holding acting APP
pointments or working as substitutes be
permitted to don the blue and brass

Philosophy Of Green Manuring.

The following article from the Spirit
Of the Farm presents in concise way the
philosophy Of green manuring: "NIany
persons have an idea that it is necessary
to burn plants in order to procure potash.
They also think vegetable matter must
pass through the digestive organs of
animals in order to he of value as
manure. The truth is fire does nothing
toward the production of potash or any
mineral salt. 1t simply destroys the
vegetable, leaving the mineral substance
free. No kind of vegetable matter is as
valuable for manure after it has passed
through an animal as it was before In
truth, the most valuable substance it CON
tanned went while in the animal to repair
wastes in the body to build up new It's
sues or to form milk. The inferior por-
tons of the food, unsuited to these pur-
poses, were voided as eXcrement. The
coarse portions of the food That
were voided were probably benefited
by passing through the digestive
organs of the animals, as they
were softened and put in condition to
be more readily decomposed. The most
rational method of increasing the fer
tility of the soil is to pillow under the
crops that grew upon it. A person may
argue that there is no gain of fertilizing
matter by this practice since nothing is
returned to the soil except what came
from it. Such, however, is not the
case. Plants do not exist on surface soil
alone. A large portion of the bulk and
weight of plants is derived from the air.
Another portion comes from the soil far
below where the plow reaches. Lime
and potash are obtained in this way,
while carbon and nitrogen are taken from
the air. The leaves of the plant are the
great feeders, and they draw nothing
from the soil. The roots that enter the
subsoil, and those of many plants do,
take nothing from the soil that stimulates
the growth of the majority of food plants.
BY bringing plants that obtained their
growth chiefly from the air and subsoil the
fertility Of land may be very greatly in
creased. BY the use of different fertili-
GERS it is difficult to determine how
abundantly soil may be made to pro
duce. Green plants decay very quickly
when they are buried, especially if they
are turned under before their stalks have
become dry. The sap in them insures
their speedy decay, and also helps de
compose other substance in the soil. BY
blowing them under before they are ripe
there will be no trouble from the seeds
There is always advantage in blowing
under vegetation when it is covered with
dew, as it will decay much more rapidly
Green manuring has been recommended
for restoring fertility to soils that ne
longer produce crops worth the trouble
Of harvesting 1t is obvious that sucf
soils will not produce much to turn
under. Very poor soils must receive &
base Of some stimulating manure, like
hog manure or blood fertilizer, before
hey will produce crop worth turning

SELECT SIFTINGS.

The ebay Psalm Book" published at
Cambridge in 1910, was the second book
printed in British America. 1t went
through seventy editions.
In France, until the introduction OF
postage stamps, and the rule Of double
postage for unpaid letters, it was consid-

In Paris there are men who make liv.

hospitals, pressing the oil from the lin,
seed and selling the linen to the paper

Recent experiments in German schools
have shown that the difficulty in reading

Household Hints and Recipes.

Apple fritters make nice entree to be
served with roast duck.
Paint spots may be removed from any
kind of clothing by saturating with equal
parts of turpentine and spirits of am
monia.
If you wish to pour boiling hot liquid
into a glass jar or tumbler it can be safe
ly done by putting spoon in the dish
before you pour.
Stock should not be allowed to run in
cultivated fields during wet weather.
The trampling is very injurious to the
land and will greatly reduce the yield to
next years crop.
A good dish is made by chopping
pieces of cold boiled or fried ham Just
as fine as it is possible to chop them;
mix them with cold mashed potatoes, an
egg or two, little butter or cream, or
both, form into balls, flour them, melt a
little butter in a frying pan, and brown
the balls. Serve hot,
Baked eggs and cheese: Lay some
thin slices of cheese on buttered flat
baking dish, break as many eggs on the
cheese as the dish will hold in single
layer, dust them with salt and pepper,
put small bit of butter on each one
and bake them to the required degree in
hot oven. Serve them hot.
Moths can be successfully removed
from carpets in the following manner
Wiring a coarse towel out of clear water,
spread it smoothly on the carpet, iron it
dry with good hot iron, repeating the
operation wherever the moths are sup
posed to be. No need to press hard, and
the ply or color of the carpet will not be
injured, as the moths are destroyed by
the heat and steam.
Sauce for common fruit pudding is
nice made of one cup of sugar, an even
tablespoonful of flour, and one of butter.
Mix to cream, pour boiling water over
this, and stir until there are no humps
then put it on the stove, and keep il
there until it is cooked, say, for ten OF
even fifteen minutes. Flavor with nut
meg, and put in large spoonful of mo-
lasses to give it a rich brown color.
Doughnuts or fried cakes of corn meal
may be a novelty to some one: Two tea.
cups of meal should he mixed with one
teacup and half of milk that is scald.
ing hot or at the boiling point; when
this is cool add two teacups of sifted
flour, half cup of butter, little salt,
one cup of sugar, three eggs; flavor with
nutmeg or cinnamon and very little
ginger; let this stand until it seems light
then roll it out about half an inch thick
cut in round or diamond shaped cakes,
and Try in very hot lard.

Best Feed for Hens.

Considerable difference should be made
in the feed of poultry, according to their
breed. The brahmas, cochins and their
crosses are quiet, lazy sorts, and conse-
luently fatten more easily than such as
are fond of rowing around at considera-
BILE distance from the house, such as Leg
horns, Hamburgs, game, etc. Little
corn or Indian meal should be fed to the
former, except in the coolest weather, and
then we only make it about half their "a
tions. In spring and autumn we give
them all they are inclined to eat during
the day, pudding made of one-third In
dian meal and two-thirds wheat bran,
with a sprinkling of whole oats, late in
the afternoon on the ground in the yard
or near the house, for them to scratch
and pick up just before going to roost.
In summer we make the pudding only
one-fourth Indian meal and three
fourths wheat bran. In this about half
u gill of pure, strong brine is mixed to
each gallon. A little brine is very healthy
in the food of poultry, but it must not be
taken from the meat barrel. A table
spoonful of sulphur is excellent to mix
once a week in the pudding, as this keeps
lice out of the hens, and in addition is
healthy for them. So is the same guam
tity of wood ashes, or a gill of fine char
coal dust. The hens ought to have a
grass plot to run on. If this cannot be
had give them some boiled vegetables or
raw cabbage leaves. In summer, grass
can be cut for them and put in their yard
Lettuce and spinach are excellent things
when no other green feed are to be had,
and we cultivate these in our garden es-
pecially for them. For the most active
breeds of fowls we give greater proper
ton of Indian meal in their pudding. If
this can be mixed with skim milk it will
be all the better for the production of
eggs. Whole wheat is an excellent egg
producer. Bee and Poultry Magazine.

Coarse Feed for Sheen.

II a meal of concentrated food, such
rs cornmeal and oil cake, be given sheep
once day, the straw and other coarse
material will answer well for them In
place of hay, provided it is cut fine,
sailed, and placed where they can eat all
they wish. 1t may not be relished by
some to be reminded of the fact that
there is saving in cutting straw, and
even cornstalks Tor sheep, but the saving
in the waste of large flock compensates
for the work, although but little work is
usually done at this season. The object
in cutting is to induce them to eat lib
orally of it, as it can be easier prepared
when fine, leaving the better quality of
hay for the horses and cattle. Sheep,
while not rejecting any kind of food at
times, are still capable of selecting that
which is good, and well prepared mess
Of finely cut stuff, sailed to taste, will be
acceptable at all times. If preferred, the
mass may be sprinkled with cornmeal or
oatmeal, or change to sliced roots twice
week is still better. Well managed
sheep give greater profits at all times.

A Fortune in Boots.

The rags which the Russian peasant
wears have struck all travellers who have
visited Russia. Sufficient to say that
boots are considered as objects of luxury
and until now, in Little Russia, the girl
Guys one pair of boots, and must wear
them throughout her life. On Sunday,
when she goes to church, she walks bare
footed in the cold mud of the road, and
only when she has arrived at the church
she washes her feet in pond of water,
puts on her boots, and enters full dressed.
The three roubles about six shillings)
she has paid for her boots are considered
by the peasant as such an immense
amount of money that his wife never
must expect to indulge in similar ex-
pense second time during her life.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

A bureau Of commercial science has
been instituted in France. Its purpose
is to bring together information bearing
on commerce, foreign industries, etc.
Luminous paint has been applied to
harness with desirable results. At night
the position of the horse is clearly in
dictated, and it does not appear that the
animal is alarmed in the slightest by his
bright equipment.
Two books formed with sheet-iror
leaves have been sent to the Amsterdam
exhibition by an English firm, as an
illustration of the perfection to which
the process Of rolling sheets of iron has
been brought. The leaves are said to be
no thicker than ''good-toned paper"
Leather wheels are made in France fol
railroad and other cars. The inventor Of
the process is NJ. de Ia Roche. Unframed
buffalo hides are cut into strips, and these
are built up into sslid disks, which are
strongly held together by two iron rings
after they have been subjected to by
draulic pressure.
A textile manufacturing firm in Boston
has adopted an electrical-work indicator,
which records the movements of all the
looms and other machines within the
works. The indicator occupies little
more space in the office than common
clock would fill, yet a glance at it will
tell how all the operations throughout
the large works are progressing.
From the observations taken at Colon
by the engineers engaged on the Panama
Inter-oceanic canal, NJ. de Lesseps finds,
according to his paper read before the
academy of sciences, Paris, that the
great earthquake wave caused by the re,
cent disturbances at Java, would appear
to have made its way across the Indian
and Atlantic oceans, round the Cape OF
Good Hope, to the east coast of Central
America in about thirty hours.
A company with a capital of 50, $780,.
900, partly English, bought nearly
1000, 900 acres Of swamp land in Louis
lana last spring, and had the most COM
prehensive system of improvement by
draining and cultivating begun. The
territory lies in Vermillion, Cameron and
Calcasieu parishes, and has frontage or
the Gulf of 100 miles, with depth Of
thirty miles. Great quantities of sugar
may be raised upon it.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
HOW TO Rinse Plants

A lady whose beautiful plants are the
delight of her life and the envy of all her
acquaintance, revealed the secret of her
success for the benefit of the readers of
the Brening Post the other day. The
soil is, she says, about two-thirds good
garden soil and the rest is sand. 1t is
kept light and very loose about the roots /;
they are watered as they appear to need
it, and not according to any particular
rule; but the chief reason for their won
derful growth and bloom is this: "When
any. of the leaves wither and fall, instead
of picking them up and throwing them
away, make little rolls of them and tuck
them down in the earth and let them de-
cay; and this is the only fertilizer l have
ever used. This" she added, modestly,
''seems to be natures way. And the
plants that have the afternoon sun only,
grow and rival those that have the morn
