An Athletes Diet
From the Cook

From the Cook
81 eat, said Wallace Ross the other
day, and have always since | was a
boy, a plenty OF nourishing, generous
food, and am very wide in my choice,
eating, as rule, any good food that
tempts my appetite, and that is hearty

chiefly mutton and beef, and | use a
good deal OF bread, of course being as

much difference what kind it is or how

meat and bread must have plenty of

kind OF an athlete without eating

Bedding for Stock.

Bedding should be provided for
farm stock during the winter, thus in
creasing its comfort and thrift, and
making it easier to care for it and for
its habitation. A horse or an OK is in
better condition for labor the next
day after passing an undisturbed
nights rest upon an easy bed, than If
forced to stand or lie in discomfort;
a COW will give more milk, fatuening
animal will take on more flesh and
all upon less food than would other
wise be required. Nor should sheep
be LETT without a dry, soft spot to lie
upon, or pigs be refused nest into
which they can crowd for warmth and
comfort.
Straw makes the best bedding, but
the woods and roadsides, with their
abundant crops of leaves, supply an
excellent bedding material. If gath
cred while dry, and stored under shell
ter, they will furnish soft bedding for
any animal, and add also largely to
the value of manure. Leaves absorb
a considerable amount of liquid, and
decay quickly from exposure, and the
quality of the fertilizing matter they
supply is superior to other materials
used for bedding.
In some parts of the country dry
sawdust, chips and shavings from
laths and planning mills, spent tan
bark, dry muck, and the like, may
often be obtained more economically
than straw or coarse hay. And to
anyone near a sawmill or lanyard
the sawdust and tanhark furnish val
liable material both for bedding and
manure. These, or leaves, or all OF
them, sho"ld be gathered and stored
by every farmer who has not an
abundance OF straw to give every ami
NAL in his stables or sheds q warm,
dry bed through winter. He will be
doubly paid, first in the comfort and
thrift of his stock, and again in in
creased crops from the additional sup
ply of manure.
With warm stables and tie-ups, an
ample supply of good food and warm
bedding, and plenty of pure water,
with salt as a condiment, cattle can
be carried safely through the long
winter, without disease Above all,
don't let horses or cattle stand over a
manure cellar, from which ammonia
will rise and irrltate their lungs, so
that when they are turned out in the
freezing cold weather to drink pleuro

my horses and cattle stand on a
ground floor, and their manure is
wheeled out into the barnyard and

Songs in Bulgaria.
From the Pail Mall Gazette. !

From the Pail Mall Gazette
NJ. Courier, IN his recently published
sketch OF Slavonic literature, includes
an account of the so-called "Pesnas, -
or folksong of the Bulgarians. These
songs fall into two classes. One class
deals with the birth and adventures
OF King Sad, and his passage over the
Danube; the other class treats in the
strangest manner OF the birth and
deeds OF Orpheus. But in addition
to the "Pesnas" the Bulgarians have
a number OF epic songs, which are
sung, or rather detained, by the wan
derlng MINISTRIES. The favorite sub
ject of these is the story OF heroic
Christian maidens who preferred
death to marriage with q Turk. The
story is given by the minstrel in reel
tatlve, accompanied by the violin. A
choral dance, which the young men
and maidens OF Bulgaria execute with
much grace, is exactly the same dance
as Homer describes in the eighteenth
book OF Illiad. 1t is still extant
among the modern Greeks, and one
very similar to it may De seen in
Provence and Normandy.

of embroidered silk, and painted cheeks

the japanese dress is visible in the
homes of several ladies, who have
found how comfortable it is, and are
in the habit of being a law unto them
selves in matters OF the toilet. The

cred fronts, and the wicker shoes with
wadded soles, displaying small silken
feet, are theperfection OF ease, especial

Method of Keeping Vegetables,

a correspondent of the Albany Gull
tivator gives the following method OF
keeping vegetables during the winter:
Pack them in damp sawdust placed in
barrels of moderate size, or in boxes
not more than two feet in width.
Place alayer OF sawdust IN the bottom,
then layer of the roots. Then fill in
all the interstices with another layer,
and so on till the box is full, leaving
no crevices. We have taken beets out
OF such boxes, after remaining in them
full year, so fresh in appearance that
no external difference could be seen be-
tween them and fresh roots. MUIR
seryman's moss is neater than saw
dust where it can be obtained, and
serves an excellent purpose for packing
winter cabbages in large boxes.

Fruit Notes.

| 1t is good plan to wrap a piece OF
tarred paper around the bodies OF
trees during the winter to keep rab-
bits away.
Place a teaspoonful Of salt close
around each raspberry plant now.
| Scatter manure and salt freely on the
asparagus beds in thefall.
Never plant black raspberry roots
| from an old, WORKOUT plantation. ii
the old plant is thrifty and healthy,
age makes no difference.
Grapes hung up in dark place so
that the lunches do not come in con
tact will keep for weeks, when if they
| are piled on dish or in basket they
will soon decay.
Ii you have an old grape vine that
yields poorly and has seen it's best
days, cut it entirely off close to the
ground, manure heavily and let it
throw up two new leaders, and the fol-
lowing year you will see that it is as
good as young vine,
In sections where the winters are
too severe for blackberries, many
might enjoy this fruit during the sea-
son by having them growing in half
barrels and sinking them in the earth
during the early spring and removing
to the cellar during the winter The
same, too, is true OF tender raspber-
rie5 and other fruits.
1t is useless to expect a crop of red
raspberries where suckers are allowed
to grow freely, and cultivation is not
given. Planted five feet each way in
straight rows both ways, and cult
waited with a sharp-oooth implement
that will keep all suckers OFF between
the hills, and only three or four canes
allowed to grow in the hill, with the
bushes well mulched, paying crop

The only remedy for rust on black
berries is to dig and burn all affected
plants at once, and to renew the same

THE WOODLAND GRAVE.

No sacred monumental urn,
Nor Wanted funeral praise,
Here lures the passer-by to turn
With mute and reyeTentlal gaze.
No cypress throws quaint shadows here
IrCn some sculp.ured marble tomb
Where rests someone TO memory dear,
Amidst the church-ard's solemn gloom.
But in some VHfrequented glade,
Where fragrant flowers bloom and die,
And VI IRE, beLeath the woods deep shade,
IN wild profUsion ferns do lie;
Where biuebells, with the golden'furze,
The wild rose, and the daffOdil,
With ivy, moss. and countless burrs,
Lie scattered Der the verdaut hill;
Beside some cool sequestered stream,
Shaded from the stormy weather,
Where the suns last lingering CLEAN
Fades upon the mountain heather
There. where the moss is soft and green,
With the meadow-sweet and cOwslips, too,
And fairest suowdrops may be seen
Weeping in the morning dew;
And when the skylark's evening song
Comes floating on the perfumed breeze,
And woodland music, all day long,
Lingers IN the InurmuTing trees
Just there, beneath that laurels shade,
Where moss and ivy deck the ground,
Tie true-t, kindest friend is laid
Ny noble, faithful trusty hound.

also, the rust has been spreading I'M

Usually all the riveting is done before
the final painting Is begun, each rivet-

Suggestions for Housekeepers.

A substance called "Starch Lustre"
IS used for washing purposes, which,
when added to starch, causes the linen
to which it is applied to assume not
only a high polish, but a dazzling
whiteness. A portion of the size of an
Old-fashioned cent added to half a
pound OF starch, and boiled with it for
two or three minutes, will produce the
best results. The substances nothing
more than stearine, colored by a slight
addition OF ultramarine blue, the es-
sentlaI ingredient being the stearine:
and, with or without the coloring mat
ter, it will be found to add very much
to the beauty OF linen articles to which
it is applied. Stearine is to be had at
any good drug store.
For the preservation OF the lustre of
articles OF silver or plated wwre, when
not needed for actual use for consid-
