Home and Farm,
Tree Planting,

1t is doubtless misfortune that Miss
curl has no arbor day on which the at
tenhon of the whole people may be called
to tree planting. A thoughtful mind
considering the aesthetic, sanitary and
financial results Of orcharding and
forestery can but wonder at the sad
neglect of these matters by the vast
majority of property holders ali
over these prarie lands, 1t is pleasant
to know, however, by the success that
has attended the few and feeble efforts
made in the past that nearly every tree
and shrub known to this latitude may
be grown to perfection among Us, and
that the only reason why so many
bleak landscapes should be unrelIeved
by shade and ornamental trees and so
many tables minus health renewing
fruit, is because cur people have not
heen awake to their own interests.
Blu. now Mr.. Editor the time for ac
ton In this direction Is here, and this is
sent you that hmay prompt my broth
er farmers as well as the denizens of
the town TO give day OF two at least
10 this most necessary labor. IL would
be much better to do this though ohs
or two acres less of corn be planted.
There are special reasons why we
should raise more fruit. Situated as
we are just on the margin OF the great
fruit belt we have and must continue
to have an increasingly good
market for all our surplus. The
farming world are after
wheat, corn and stock to the great
neglect of horticulture. Those who
are wise to prepare will by and by reap
a golden harvest.
Don't neglect to plant shade and
ornamental trees. Many Of our native
varieties are most desirable. The soft
map sa airy geo tree an rap d
grower. liable however to be broken by
high. winds, and destroyed by the
maple louise. The box elder and white
elm are still better, being tougher and
of nearly as quick growth. The wal.
nut combines beauty with utility but
the very gem of all onr native trees Is
the hard or sugar maple. 1t combinds
every element of shade and ornamen-
tai tree. 1t may be objected that it is
of too slow growth. 1t will grow slow
If it is thrust into little hole in stiff
sod and left to fight for its life unald-
ed, but i properly planted and cultiva-
ted it makes a rapid and hardy

War at Cur Doors.

There has been trouble in Cen trail
America. An effort has been made to
form union among the so-called re-
publics just south OF Mexico; but Nj
caragua proving recalcitrant, it was
proposed to coerce that country by
force of arms But Central American
wars are contemplate affairs. The
races that inhabit tt region lying be.
tween the Gulf and the Pacific Ocean
have proved so backward in the past
that there IS no iope tor them in the
future. They are a -forsaken lot,
whose destiny it's to some day disap-
pear from the fac of the earth. Much
of the soil Of Nicaragua, Yucatan, and
the other Genital American States,
would yield largt returns to intelligent
investors in capital and labor; but the
unsettled and c;pricious governments
efectually checlsall attempts for i'm
provement from the outside. This
land once had high civilization of its
own. 1t is filed with monuments,
showing that the race which inhabited
1t had made notable advances in in
dustry and the arts but the Spanish
conquest WAS an almost unmixed evil
to Mexico, Genital and South America.
The half-civllized natives have dete-
rlorated physically and morally, and the
mixed breed of Spaniards, Negroes
and Indians that now contend for
mastery are mere cumberers of the
earth, and are destined to give way
some time to superior race.-Er0R,

DJu't Crowd tie chicks.

Avoid crowding your birds in their
night quarters now. They are grow

Ply close or limited coops, in proper

Rock, Leghorn, Dominique, and other
lighter weights as a rule they will

they are of the Asiastic, or heavy class,
the chicks rest upon the floor or on the
ground of coop or fowl house. ordina-
rily, until they are more mature than
are most of these latter breeds at this
time ofrhe year.
Under these circumstances you
must see to it, if you have any quanti-
ty of chickens growing up, that they
do not huddle into obscure corners at
night fall, and heap themselves upon
each other, as they are wont to do
when very young-after the mother
hen leaves them. Many of the smaller
birds are thus suffocated every year.

i Bad Break.

Sam Peterby, merchant from the
interior, while attending the Madl
Gras festivities at Galveston, united
business with pleasure by purchasing
a bill OF goods from prominent firm.
He was very politely received, and one
ofthe proprietors showed him over the
immense store. On reaching the
fourth floor the customer perceived a
speaking tube on the wall, the
first thing of the kind he had ever
seen.
"What is that 2" he asked.
20, that is a speaking tube it is a
great convenience. We can converse
with clerks on the first floor without
the trouble of going down stairs
Can they hear what you say through
that 2" asked the visitor.
Certainly; and they can reply at the
same time
You don't say so exclaimed the
visitor. May talk through it ?
Certainly was the reply.
The visitor put his mouth to tie
speaking tube and asked:
Are Sam Peterby's goods packed up

The people in the Office must have
supposed it was somebody else speak

ply came back:
No. We have not packed them vet.

Eggs.

With all nations of the earth eggs
have been favonte food, and even
now their value is hardly appreciated.
There is no egg of any kind known
which can not be used for food. A
similarity exists IN the construction of
all eggs, since the white portion and
yolkls present in every specimen.
Peculiarlties in form, size and color
are no tests of the qualities or fresh
ness ofthe eggs of fowls, for every
hen has an individuality about her
product; although it is well known
that feeding has a decided influence
on the flavor and quality OF eggs.
The weight of an ordinary fowls
egg is one and half or TWO ounces;
while that of d duck is two or three
ounces; fthe sea. gull and turkey,
three to four ounces, and that of the
goose four to six ounces. Seventy
four per cent of an egg is water, In
which respect it is like fish, lean IL eat
anG potatoes. OF the remaining
twenty-slx percent about fourteen
IS heterogeneous and ten percent is
fatty matter. The white of the egg
contains no fat, but has more water
and albumen than the yolk, while the
latter contains all the fat and sulphur.
An egg of average size contains about
two hundred grains of dry substance,
of Which nearly fifty percent is nitro
genous, forty percent fatty and ten
percent saline matters. In nitrogen
Gus substance the white of an egg ex.
ceeds that of all known food, except
peas, cheese and poultry.
Tpe shell beng porous allows of
the evaporation of the fluids within
and air accumulates iii their place;
thus an egg exposed to the air grows
lighter day by day, and de'enoates
rapidly by keeping. In solution of

kensingtOn Painting.

Kenslngton painting on velvet, al
though not exactly high art, is very
effective for home decoration, and can
be accomplished in one tenth the time
of embroidery. 1t is. IN fact, an imita-
ton of Kenslngton needlework done in
oil colors, the pattern being stamped
the same as for embroidery. Those
who desire to paint, but have never
learned to draw, will appreciate this,
while taste can be largely exercised in
the shading. There are two methods
of Kensington painting-one where a
pen alone is used, and another in which
pen and brush both come into play. |
prefer the latter, which is the one
taught in the principal art emporlums.
Imagine a spray of blossoms and
leaves stamped upon plush, velvet OF
velveteen. Tack the material upon a
board, SO that it is perfectly smooth

paint, leaving not a particle of the vel

go over each petal making regular
strokes like stitches in embroidery
from the outer edge toward the center,
being careful to wipe the pant from
the pen between the marks. This is
called stitching the flowers. 1t must
be left until perfectly dry when it Is
gone over with thin washes of the nat
ural color of the blossom; shading the
same as in painting or embroidery.
The centers are put In. in..dots, to re-
semble French knots, and at a short
distance it is difficult to distinguish this
painting from needlework. The leaves
differ from the flowers, inasmuch as
they are painted in at once with green,
making one side of the leaf darker
than the other, are veined and stitched
with the pen, and then finished, requir-

these things, and what can parents do
that will give them so much pleasure
as to see their children contented at
home, attending to some ustul little
things Ike this with interest, and
avoiding the company of rude com
panions!
All! il is true that children never do
forge: these things One of the sup
porters of their life consists in the
remembrance of such affairs connected
with childhood. The "reminiscences of
happy hours and sunny days llnger all
through llfe's pathway.
1t is fact that nothing proves So
lasting, IN the way of amuesments, as
something that is alive. The most in
gneous toy is incapable of being turn
ed into more than a few combinations,
and it must be very durable toy
indeed that is not soon worn out or
put out OF repair; but the notions an d
| dclngs OF live animals afford inexhaust-
| able sets of combinations. Children
seldom weary of such means IF occu-
patton. Then, again, instead uf the
| toy which wears out, the fowls will re-
produce, and the young broods afford
new source of wonder. Probably
there never was, and never will be,
anything more interesting to children
than number of newly-hatched
chickens, just big enough to run
around and make short excursions of
a few inches from the mother hen.
Any child reared on premises where
this entertainment is lacking has mis-.
sed an experience well worth having.
Parents, think of this.
There are many families too poor 10
give their children an expensive
New Year or Christmas or birthday
present. If such families are not keep
ing fowls, and their premises arc such
as to admit of a few, even no more
than pair or trio, they would do well
to consider whether they can not at
ford few choice fowls as an invest
ment, as well as pleasant surprise to
their children. If the number of fowls
is very limited, on account of yard
area being scanty, the investment will
be relatively all the more profitable;
for the scraps from the table will afford
the sole maintenance of the birds, and
all the eggs and chickens produced
will be so much net profit. The pres
ent to the children, then, instead of
being an expense to the parents, will
actually prove = source of income. and,
at the same time, be better gift than
the most expensive toy. am sup
posing that the children do not claim
the eggs; for it is believed that they
will very gladly make present of all
that they find to the parents who have
been kind enough to give them
the fowls.
