House Plants.

Many growers of house plants make the
mistake at the outset of trying to root
cuttings In the shade, fearing that if they
are put in the sunlight they will wilt.
This is mistake, especially in the case
of the geraniums, which cannot have too
much light when roofing. Give them
plenty of sunshine and do not deluge them
with water If you would not have them
decay instead of roofing. Never attempt
to strike cuttings, or even to grow plants,
in any receptacle which has no drainage.
In pOtting plants be careful to press the
earth firmly down on the roots and leave
from half an inch to an inch, at least,
space at the top of the pot, in order that
the plant may be easily watered. When
pots are filed to the very top with earth,
watering is a tedious process and the
earth is apt to splash out on the shelves.
In watering enough should be given SO
that it will penetrate to the bottom of the
pot. a Slight watering at the top does not
reach the fine roots deep down in the pot.
On the contrary, do not oyerwater. Never
keep the earth in a pasty condition, or
with water standing on the surface, as
this will kill most plants in short time.
Many hard-wooded plants are easily
rooted by placing the cutting in bottle
OF water in light place and supplying
water as 1t evaporates.
This is very good way to root oleander,
daphne IL dica, ard is, perhaps, better
treatment for the myrtle IN the hands of
amateurs than the ordinary way of root
ing in earth. The achania and lemon
verbena may also be thus treated. Coleus
and chrysanthemums root very easily by
this method. The rex begonia is another
plant which can be rooted IN water.

The yard Of the fowl house should be,
for the summer season, as extensive as
possible. II the good of the fowls only be
considered, It's limits should be those Of
the farm, Though it would even then be
well to have il subdivided 50 that a yard
could be plowed and sowed TO grain. or
lettuce or collards, and the fowls be kept
of until the greens could get a proper
growth. For winter yard, however, a
very moderate space is required. The
chief requisites are dryness and exposure
to the southern sun. IL there are several
focks Of fowls in the same yard the flocks
should be separated by fences running
east and west. This gives to each fence
the greatest possible length of fence with
a southern exposure. Such a fence should
be of close boards, either tongued or bat
teued, and against at least portion of it
nearest the house there should be roof
that will turn the ram completely, so as
to have the ground always dry beneath.
If this roof is three feet above the ground
at the caves and extends four feet out
from the fence, tie fowls will have warm
run whenever the sun shines and dry
one in all weather, except Immediately
after drifting snow storm. At. such
times, if the temperature Is low, the at
tendant should clear all the snow out from
under the roof at once. That is easily
done with a broad wooden hoe. The
ground under this summing shed should
slope to the front so that melting snow
and the drips from the caves shall not
form pools of water and masses of ice
under the roof.
Certain classes of fowls will fly upon
such roof, and, of course, this must
either be prevented or the fence must be
carried higher by wire netting to prevent
their getting out.

played in many grocery stores tumblers
of iellies bearing different labels, such as
currant, plum, raspberry, strawb berry,
etc., and offered for sale at a price that
should at once be sufficient to put the at
tracted purchaser on bis guard as to their
character. In many, nay in most cases,
they do not contain a particle of the fruit,
the name of which they bear upon their
labels, but are all made from apple par
ings. These parlngs are mostly bought
from those who make business of drying
apples for winter use, and, together with
the cores, are packed in barrels and shipped
to the Jelly maker, who stores them away
till wanted. In the mean time they I'M
dergo fermentation and putretactiOn, and
in this condition look more like swill than

are converted into jelly by boiling and
adding sugar. This jelly is the stock from
which the various jellies are made, the
process being simply to color them to cor
respond with the fruit whose substance
they are supposed to be, and then flavor
them with fraudulent essences

Scrub Farmers.

The Practical Farmer says: "The day
has gone by when it is considered that
any dolt of fellow is good enough for a
farmer. Agriculture is one of the profess
sions requiring for its highest success the
very best training of all the best intel
lectual faculties. No profession has to
deal with such numerous and intricate
conditions as the farmer, and his observa-
ton must cover wide range, and his
habits of thought and judgment must be
trained in the proper channels or he can
not compete successfully with his more
wide-awake and better-informed neigh
bors. With cheap lands, not yet drawn
upon for the fertility stored up in them
by nature, and with scrub cattle ranging
the woods OF public commons, most any,
body could get along with almost any
management. But times are changed,
lands have increased In price while dete-
riorating in quality, and there Is now
necessity for better methods, and better
farmers, and better live stock. And the
new class of farmers appreciate the ne
cessity of keeping read up and posted in
their profession and understand the adj
vantage of study and method, and can see
where brains and intelligently-direc
thought count even more than muscle.
And there is nothing which so accurately
indicates the extent and rapidity of this
improvement as the earnestness and zeal
and intelligence displayed on every hand
in the improvement OF all classes of live
stock. He must be blind, indeed, who
cannot perceive that the world moves"

Art of Plant Plotting.

Plants like fresh soil To grow plant
well we must pot it often. If we put a
small plant into a large pot ten to one the
leaves will get yellow after while unless
the plant be some rank growing, weedy
thing. The roots rot-that is, the feeding
roots rot. In common parlance the gar
deners say the soil sours. To guard against
this, as soon as little pot is full of roots
it is put into larger one--that is, one but
lust large enough to contain little more
earth between the old ball and the new
pot. The experienced gardener continues
this practice everv few weeks, so that
before the season is over the plant that
started In three-inch pot may find itself
in one six inches or more, and when 1t IS
so grown manure water does not hurt the
plant. This cannot be done with the little
plant In the large pot, since manure water
makes the sour soil still s0urer and the
end of tue plant is soon attained.

into a small vessel of boiling linseed oil

GETTING RID OF BLEMIsHEs.
aIoIes and Tattoo Marks Removed by
Means of Electricity.
Nelc YORK SAN.

A man with a small mole on his chin
climbed up the stOOp of doctors office in
West Nineteenth street not long ago.
Il want to get rid of the MOLE" he said,
when a young doctor came out and asked
him what the matter was.
step right in, and I'll do It," the doc
tor responded, as he reached for large
m hOgany box containing a polished
electrical machine, with insulated wire
running from the battery to neat carved
handle. The doctor sat the patient down
in an easy chair, threw his head
back. and dressed the mole deity with a
local an8sthetic that gradually benumbed
the flesh until it was robbed of all sen6i-
tiTeness. Then the doctor fitted a tiny
strip of platinum into the handle and
turned on the full force Of the battery.
The platinum was agiOw with a pure
white heat in twinkling. The doctor
drew il slowly AMI carefully through the
mole, as IL he were using a razor blade.
The patient felt the glow of the intense
heat through his cheek, but the burning
away Of the mole was as painless as it
was rapid. When soothing salye had
been applied the doctor sent the patient
away happy. He told him that in less
than a month the wound would heal with
out leaving a scar.
Pew Of the public know Of the
process, although II IS simply an elabOra-
ton Of the one used TO remove cancers
and similar grOwths on the neck and
body" Young Police Surgeon Satterlee
said. s.Ladies who would be otherwise
faultless in complexion can have blOtches
painlessiy removed by the same process
without marking the flesh. Superfuous
hair can be permanently eradicated in a
seconds time by single touch of the
platinum needle. It's greatest useful
ness, however, is in removing tattOOing
marks from the arms and hanGs. About
nine boys out of every dozen are crazy to
disfgure themselves that way, and they
regret il for years afterwards because
they think the Disagreement is for life.
Nobody ever made bigger mistake.
ANY piece Of tattOoing on the body can
be entirely removed, and, if properly done,
no scar need be left. The process is a
gradual one, because the eradication has
