Currant and GoOseberry Cuttings.

An experienced writer says that to
succeed well with currant and goose
berry cuttings they must be taken off
and set in August or early in Septem-
Der, so that the natural warmth of the
soil, before it is chilled by the cooler
weather of autumn may operate as
bottom heat. This, he says, is the
real secret of success. The shoots of
the present years growth are to BE- cut
six or eight inches long, placed verti-
cally in compact soil, with an inch at
the top exposed. The objection to
spring planting is the GOODNESS of the
earth. The soil eau not be made to
rich. He recommends seventy-fye
tons of we'll rotted manure to the acre,
or at that rate for smaller grounds.
He has set out several thousand
bushes lately, IN rows seven feet apart
and four feet in the rows, SO as to al
low cultivation both ways lessen the
labor, keep the ground clean, and OBJ.
tain larger and finer fruit.

The friend eff Oscar Ware did not
begin his journey as scoa as expected
so it CHANGED that, seated on the deck
with his charge beside him, he saw a
handsome young man advance with
outstretched hand.
General Porter-I am so very de-
lighted"
'Miss Ware, Percy" said the old
man, with a nod at the little beauty
beside him. "Ellice, dear, this is Mr..
Trafton, of Beech. Why, you
must have met before!"
81 have had the pleasure of meet.
ing Miss Ware" replied Percy, with
CLEAN in his eyes which she could
not understand.
Prominading the deck that evening
| while the general sat in his easy-
chair doing and dreaming, Perc
bent above his companion and soft "
said:
'You do not remember our first
meeting, but do"
Then he hummed the air of the
boat song, and Ellice's eyes drooped
at the tenderness in his glance and
| tone.
1t was two months later, Maude, on
whose hand glittered betrothal-ring
looked up from the letter she had
been reading one morning, as a sharp
cry from her mother broke the ST
| lence.
Listen, said Mrs. Ware, and read
aloud from a London journal she had
just received, an account of wedding
of two Americans.
$50 Ellice will be the mistress of
Beechcroft, after all, unused Maude,
with a look of genuine pity at her sis
ter it is useless to fight against fate
in spite of all 1t will conquer in the
end"
Ere she had finished speaking, Ma
bel had risen and left the room. No
one knew what her thoughts were at
that moment. But time works won
ders, and when the master of Beech
croft returned to his home accompan-
led by his beautiful young bride,
Mabel Ware was among the first to
offer greetings and congratulations. !"

Hog Culture.
Chicago Tribune.

The best food for young pigsis some
thing which will not 1erment, such
as dry, unground oats. The little fell
lows will chew these and spit out the
skins, and the thorough mastication
they give to them wonderfully aids
its digestion. Then they want to be
in the grass. Little pigs will eat q
great deal Of grass, and it is natures
own pig medicine and will go big
way toward promoting health. One
of the worst mlsfortunes to pig is to
have a shiftless owner, one who is so
needless and coarse that he is not
ashamed of making his pork in ilth.
No matter about the man, but it Is
hard on the pig. Its skin gets rough
and sore, it's comfort lessened and It's
usefulness limited.

Preserving Eggs.

There are several methods by which
eggs laid away in the summer May be
preserved until the following winter,
or even logger, with but little detri-
ment to their flavor. The first impor-
tant requisite is to know that the eggs
are perfectly fresh at the time they are
packed away. The second is to adopt
some means by which the pores of the
egg shells can be filled with some sub
stance to prevent evaporation of its
contents, and also prevent the intro
duction of air within the shell which
is sure to occur when evaporation
takes place, and when the air is once
introduced the action of the oxygen
contained in it upon the contents of
the shells produces putrefaction. The
third important requisite is to keep
them ia as cool a place as possible
after being properly prepared. Ex-
tensive dealers have water-tight brick
watts built in the Easements OF their
warehouse. They then prepare a
stroug liquor by shaking quantity of
lime in tanks, hogsheads, or barrels,
and adding water until it is thought
to be of sufficient strength. The clear
liquor is then drawn off and put into
the watts in which the eggs are placed,
care being used to see that all the
eggs are covered with the lime water.
Situated in the Easements and being
built of bricks, insures comparative
" low and even degree of temperature
while the lime water excludes the air.
This method is doubtless the cheapest
and best for large dealers, and can be
practiced on a small scale by house

THERE'S A TEAR IN YOUR
VOICE,
MARY E. TUCKED.


There's a tear in your voice. mother darling.
Then how can your daughter rejoice?
Though your eyes and your lips, dear, are smil-
ing,
There's tremulous tear in your voice.
Dear mother, bear with me a moment,
Your fond arms about me enfOld;
Your soft hand smooth over my forehead
And pet me again as Of old.
But yesterday morning, dear mother,
A simple child was in mind;
Tonight blush standing before you,
With woman's impulses defined.
Look back to your youths sunny morning,
You surely remember the time,
When birds made the sweetest of music,
AS your heart sang first verse or Loves rhymei
When earth seemed a bower of roses,
When daisies and daffodilis bloomed,
And bowed their bright heads meath your foot
And the air with their incense perfumed.
To-day have first seen the glory
That lies in the grand western skies,
And mocks all the skill Of earth's artists,
With the wonderful hueS of the dyes.
And the sea, that before ever murmured,
Seems singing sweet song, to prove
That the great Hand that Stilleth the waters
Is full Of the rare calm of love.
Hank mother I hear his light footstepl
Thank God that he made his choice;
Dear mother do give him your darling,
Without any tear in your voice.

Phosphate In Onion-Growlng.
Germantown Telegraph.

1t is sometimes urged that phos
plate is an excellent fertilizer for
onions. The test can be made salts.
factorily only by using upon portion
of the field and ommitting another
portion. Farmers do not always
stop to consider causes as efecting re-
suits, and SO if phosphate is employ.
ed in the cultivation of a crop of on.
ions which do we'll, the success is at.
tributed to the phosphate. In order
to determine regarding effects of any
kind of fertilizer. there should be a
basis Of comparison-one where no
fertilizer is used upon a section. and
other sections treated with different
kinds Of fertilizers. On the same
field may be treated part to manure
and another part to phosphate, SO as
to compare these two alone. This
was done this season by an onion
grower, who stated that the result of
this somewhat surprised him. The
onions where the phosphate was used
were not SO large, and did not grow
as well when the phosphate was en-
ployed. and, more then that, these
were much more troubled with the
onion maggot. A few years since an
other onion grower was more pro
nounced regarding certain branch
OF phosphate which he had similarly
tested. He declared that he would
not have it spread upon his land if it
could be done for nothing. Farmers
need to learn regarding special man
ures. and to know whether there is a
profit sufficient tc warrant the ex-
pend1ture necessary to be made in
their purchase.

FARM NOTES.

A flock of sheep inKentucky soaked
by rain froze together in the succeed
ing blizzard.
Three creameries in Madison Coun
ty, Iowa, pay $125, 900 to $3.50, 00(
annually for milk and cream.
Shorthorns or Herefords are the best
sires for crossing Bodybuilding cattle,
and Holsteins Or Jerseys for mixers.
An elm transplanted is said to
make no more wood in twelve of fif.
teen years than one in mother soil
will in ten years.
The smallest black-and-tan on
record is Tiny, whose body, less than
four inches in length, now rests in a
glass case in England.
The manager OF the Dwight farm in
Dakota attributes the quality of grain
grown IN that territory to the large
quantity of alkali found in that soil.
The wisdon of shortening the dis
lance for immature racers is being
discussed. Speed alone, without
thought of endurance, seems to be
the sole object of breeders and train
ers.
The cultivation of cocoanut trees is
assuming large proportions IN South
ern Florida. One wealthy Jersey
man is said to own 100000 newly
planted trees, covering sixty miles OF
coastline, and even the rocky islands
of the gulf mouth are now being util-
lied.
Cream cheese is made in England
as follows: Take a quart of cream,
or, il not desired very rich. add there
to one pint of new milk. Warm it in
hot water till about So. add table
spoonful of rennet, let it stand till
thick, then break it slightly with a
spoon and place it IN frame in which
you have previously put fine can
vass cloth, press it slightly with a
weight, let it stand a few hours, then
put finer cloth In the frame: little
powdered salt may be put over the
cloth. It will be fit for use in day
or two.
It is a common practice to throw
the manure from the stable out of a
window and allow it to accumulate ia
a heap against the barn, where it rots
the building, and often contaminates
the air of the stable. Fresh manure
should never be left in conical heap.
Probably the best way to manage it Is
to spread il evenly IN an adjoining
shed in which stock is kept loose to
tramp it. If, however, it is put outof
doors it should. be always wheeled
away from the building and mixed
with the cow manure and waste from
the straw stacks.

Death Rates and Occupations.
Chambers Journal.

The death rate of different occupa.
tons yields some curious results. TAX
ing as a basis of comparison the NOR
tality of all males of similar age in
England and Wales as 1000, the
death rate of the class mentioned Is
compared with this as a standard.
When the rate of the examined class
exceeds this number that class forms
an example OF unhealthy occupations
when it falls short it belongs to the
healthy occupations. Thus the first
place among healthy occupations is
held by ministers Of religion, the death
rate of this class being 556. Next we
have gardeners and nurserymen, who
stand at 500; farmers and graziers,
631; agricultural laborers, 701; school
masters, 719; the other trades which
follow closely on these being grocers,
coal merchants, paper manufacturers,
lace and hosiery manufacturers, wheel
wrights, shipbuilders and shipwrights
and coal miners. The figure of NOR
tality for all these trades is under
us. On the other side, that of the
unhealthy occupation, the first place
is held by the trades which are con-
cerned in the manufacture and dis
tribution of intoxicating drink, and
which, as is well known, entail many
temptations to drink it to excess. The
list of unhealthy occupations is head
ed by the class of inn and hotel serv-
ants, whose figure mounts up to 1905,
being nearly double that of the medi-
cal profession. The highest places
next to them are held by general la
borers in London and by costermon-
gers, hawkers and street sellers, the
former class with 1920. the latter
with 1879. It is probable that both
are largely made zap of broken men,
the weeds of other callings. Inn
keepers, publicans, spirit and wine
and beer dealers follows with figure
of 1, SCI, and brewers with 1861. In
support of the belief that these hlgh
rates of mortality are chiefly due to
alcoholic excess, DIR. Ogle has COM
pared with them the mortality
assigned to the diseases of the
liver, the organ through which
such excess chiefly declares
itself, and has obtained results which
are entirely in harmony with those of
the trade returns. Next to the trades
concerned with alchol, the highest
rates are furnished by occupations
which involve the breathing of dust
other than coal dust IS sind especially
of dust of a sharp and gritty character
Or largely composed of mineral matter !;
next those in which there is exposure
to lead poisoning, as with plumbers,
painters and flemakers. The earth
enware manufacturers, who are much
exposed to mineral dust, have figure
of 1742; filemakers, who work upon a
loaded cushion, reach 1,667, and
plumbers and painters, who are also
exposed to lead, reach ,202. It will
furnish a remarkable contradiction
to a prevailing impression that
butchers have nigh death rate, their
figure of mortality amounting to 1, ITO,
the causes of death among them being
partly due to the diseases of in
temperance, and partly to the phthisis
and other maladies from which they
have long been supposed to enjoy an
especial humanity.

FARM, HOME AND GARDEN.
ADESERTED GARDEN.
CHAMBERS JOURNAL.

Tangled ivy creeps and twines
Where once bloomed my lady'S flowers;
And the twisting wild woodbines
Weave DER all their clustering bowers:
And the fruit trees from the wall
Droop forgotten and forlorn,
And the rose trees, thick and tall,
From their trelliS-work are torn,
Dewy paths-once velvet smooth
For the dainty steps Of youth
Weedy now, and overgrowR
With the rank grass all unknown.
Here and there, amid confusion,
Cleans a berry scarlet hued,
And pale bindweed in profusion
(By the summer breezeS wooed)
CreepS where once verbenas grew,
Or the myrtle lowered so fair
In the warm and scented air;
And the Observation-Disclosures blue
Shakes its frail flowers everywhere
So, amid these paths-all haunted
By the memory of old flowers
Grow these wild wood blooms undaunted.
Through the glowing autumn hours,
Ali how long ago it seems
Since bright faces glowed and smiled
In this garden of our dreams,
Now so deSolate and wild!
They will come again no more,
And no time shall ere restore
Golden days and fairy flowers
To these wearied hearts of ours.
