The most elegant way to eat oranges,
say n lady from Philadelphia, is no long
err to extract the juice by a spoon, but to
put a fork in the orange at the part pre-
cisely opposite to the stem. With a
knife that has been sharpened for the oc-
easion, part down the peel in thick sli-
ces until you have all the white inner
skin cut away. Then, without remov-
ing the fork, hold it up to the mouth
sideways, and eat it as You would corn
from the ear. This gives you the pulp

The propagation of trees from cuttings

borculurist, but how long vitality lasts
in a cutting is still mystery. Instances
have been known of rock-elm railroad
ties sprouting after they had been laid in
a road-bed for over a year, and willow
basket cuttings are cited where life has
been retained even longer.

urgent that Mrs. Plunkett hastily threw

with new maple rollingpin sticking
in it. The sickness Of Mrs. Plunkett's
friend detained her away from home for
six weeks, and on her return she was
surprised to notice that the rolling-pin

A Poultry Town,

In the secluded town OF Little Comp
on, R. l., poultry raising is made 9
pecialty by the farmers. Not many are
lew in the business, writes correspond
mt of the NeaO England Farmer, and
zone have been engaged in it many years.
All are farmers, but the tilling of the
,oil is in the poultry interest. The
argest poultry farm contains two hun
lred acres, of which fifty acres are de,
Toted to the range of fowls and chicks.
Fifty hens comprise colony and occu-
2y separate house. Here they are fed
md here they roost and lay. The mum.
Der of fowls on this farm is 1900, and
s made up of Plymouth Rocks and Light
Brahmas. One man attends to all and
las ample time.
The yield of eggs is about 1000 dozer
month, and they are sent to market
twice a week, to Boston, New York and
Providence, as the demand comes. One
farmer receives all the eggs produced in
;hc neighhorhood, and sends to market
In the "busy season" 6, 900 dozen a weel
IS not unusual. The food in summer il
corn, wheat, barley and other grains; il
winter cooked food, meal and vcgeta
oles, with beef scraps and ground bone
The cost per fowl is about 81 per year
and the profit on each is also about 81
Feathers find ready market at eigh
10 twelve cents per pound. Durin!
The year 1884 the price of eggs received
by the farmers averaged twenty-five anC
half cents per dozen.
On the large farm the hen as an egg
hatcher has been discarded. Four arti
fetal incubators had produced before tn
1st of June 1900 chicks. Artificial
brooders are used also. Fifty to seventy
live per cent. of fertile eggs wer
Matched. The unfavorable weather il
;he early spring reduced the averag
Ower than that of last year. A man VIII
understands can give all attention neceS
,arY to an incubator in thirty minute
daily. Goslings and ducks are hatche,
Oy incubators, and the result is satisfaC
tory. About fifty stock geese are kept
from which are raised annually five Q
Nix hundred green geese for market. TIL
geese are fattened ir pens, and the nois
made by five hundred, all speaking a
once, has no music in it a mile away.
The cottage of the superintendent
however, is near the goose-pens, bu
like the man who lived next door to
steam gong, he is not disturbed by tn
lproar. A professional goose pluckt
IAN strip twenty geese day. He
armed with leather thumb and sharl
bladed knife. This may seem incred
ole to the farmer who raises few gees
for Thanksgiving, when the whole fan
lily may spend day or two in removin
most of the feathers from one goose.

Two curious cases of superstition are
reported from Russia. The Odessa
Distot says that the other day q coffin

vas brought ashore and found to con
tain the corpse Of man whose feet had
been cut off. A peasant explained the
case as follows: His uncle having died
some time previously, several peasants
claimed to have seen his ghost walking
about, and an old woman predicted that
there would be no rain while the corpse
remained in the cemetery. So it was
dug out, the feet cut off to prevent the
ghost from walking about, and the coffin
set adrift on the river. The second case
shows that the belief in witchcraft still
exists. A great drought In Chersson was

Professor Mezzeroff writes to the length
of column to the New York Tribune on
the cause OF cholera. Put in a nutshell,
his points are these: Cholera is not caused
by animal germs that get into the blood
and feed upon the oxygen, whereby the
juice of life is sapped. 1.-The true cause
Of epidemic cholera" he urges, sis a
poisonous gas which emanates from the
earth previous to, during and after earth
luakes and volcanic eruptions, and dur
ng the decomposition of large masses of
animal matter. In proof the writer gives
case after case. He adds that, as soon as
the poisonous gas vanishes the epidemic
IS sure to end. An important conclusion
that the dreaded disease is not in
iectious.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Roaming HenMs

Hens like 10 have their liberty and to
roam over the garden and fields and to
select their own nesting places in the
barn or among the bushes or tall grass in
the vicinity of buildings, but the profits
to their owners under such circumstances
are not always sure to be satisfactory.
Hens in the garden are generally unmiti-
gated nuisances, surely so If they are
your neighbours hens. Many persons
seem to think that poultry cannot be
profitable unless they can have their full
liberty, and can obtain most of their
living from what they can pick up while
foraging on their own account. But
this is a mistake. Hens running al
large unless closely watched and cared
for, seldom pay very well. They often
have to scratch too hard for living, and
what eggs they lay are largely lost, o,
in some way wasted. Then the chick
ems get caught by hawks, foxes or othel
animals of prey.
