The American Agriculturist says
The loss by rats is much greater than
most poultry keepers are aware; they
steal eggs and chicks, and rob fowls
of their food. 1t may be prevented, in
part, by well trained ferret or two,
and couple of good rat-catching dogs
will soon catch the rats, if these, their
natural enimies, are properly used.
AS these are not always available, the
next best thing is poisoning the rats.
In using poison, it must be remem-
bered that it is no respector of persons,
and will be deadly with children,
mails, as it will with rats. The utmost
with poultry dogs, cats, and other ami
care must be exercised in its use. and
the only time it should be set where
the rats can get at it, is at evening,
placing it where nothing else can
reach it. Early next morning, remove
all the poisoned pieces of bread or
meat to a secure place, and replace
then next evening. Two or three
Greats" of this kind two or three
times yearly, will completely rid the
premises of rats. The PHOSPHORUS
poisons are generally to be preferred as
they are more enticing to the rats
than any other kind we know of. 1t
does not pay to tolerate these sourses
of annoyances and destruction.
Poison the rats.

About NfacarOnI.

awhile macar0ni Is the national diet
Of Italy. it has become completely
Americanized." said prominent
Italian restaurateur to reporter.
'Our American patronage is increas-
ing. which shows the growing taste for
our food. Excepting our pure, native
wines. macaroni appears to be the
most favored by our American cpl
cures. In fact all the English speak
ing people in New York are taking
lovingly to this wholesome and slippery
diet. Do You know how it Is madep
No! Well, ! will tell you. Macaroni,
vermicelli Tor little worms), talliarini,
etc.. are the products of -four from the
best quality Of wheat. Macaroni differs
from vermicelli only in size-the latter
being made in smaller tubes. Both are
prepared in the greatest perfection at
Naples, and are the principal food Of
the great body Of the people there.
Macaroni il to tho Italian what the fig
and tho date arc to The inhabitants Of
the Levant, and what rice is to the
Asiatic. The hard-wheat -four import
ed from the Black Sea is the best suit
ed for the manufacture Of macaroni.
None of 1t ever reaches this country.
except 1t is imported by private parties
for home consumption. The -four is
mixed with water, frequently washed in
mountain streams, then ground in
water mills, and hot water is added
until it becomes dough. 1t is forced
by pressure through q number of
small holes or tubes, and then cut off
at the desired length. The largest
tubes are called macaroni, next vermi-
celli and the next fedelini. Talliarini
is made pretty much on tho same plan.
only that it is long, narrow and fiat,
and when served looks something like
wretched spider-web. Vermicelli
means little worms, and when in soup
one would como to that conclusion
without knowing the literal meaning OF
the word. Spaghetti is another species
of the same kind Of food chopped into
small, round sections. Italian paste,
you know. is used in buildings. No,
not in the 10-cent restaurants. 1t is
those little things You see In the shape
of stars, hoarts, crowns and letters OF
the alphabet; and while eating your
pudding or soup you can refresh your
memory in the alphabet or study
astronomy or anatomy. At Naples
the preparation of macaroni and its
species is best understood; nothing is
used except flour and pure water, the
best being made Of flour of hard wheat;
the most inferior, for the peasants. is
made of flour of soft wheat. The maca-
roni used by the poor is merely boiled
in water, and not often washed and
ground with that great care in making
the best article. The lazzaroni of our
country have only one ambition-to ex,
Gel each other in swallowing the
longest string of macaroni without
breaking it."-N Y. Mail and sEgpress.

ed wheel rapidly rotated against n
piece of cardboard.
DR.. Hellricgel has found that II is
very important to plant-development
that the time of seed-forming and the
season ofgreatest heat and light should
he coincident. He has illustrated this
by experiements in which he sowed
barley, under otherwise identical con-
ditlons, on April 2lst. May 2Sth,
August I'd. and September lst; the
first crop becoming ripe in IS days,
the second prematurely ripe In 81 days
(the maximum heat and light happen
ing too early in the plants growth),
the third ripening imperfectly In $50
DAYS, the fourth in 200, and the last
in 240 days. From this appears that
the productiveness of county de-
pends not so much OH its mean tenn
perature as OH the question whether
it's supply of heat is received ut the
right time, and in England the wheat
harvest is known to be chiefly de-
termined by the temperature during
