Central Park. New York.

One of the chief glories of New York
u Its justly famed Central Park. A dcs-
crlption of it in type would fail utterly
TO depict it so that the reader could conf
pletcly realize the picture. It's principal
beauty to me is it's happy though artiti-
tlal adaptation to natures most simnlc
yet pleasing laws of lun' scapc gardening,
and thereby its delightful contrast to the
artlflclality OF the great city that surgcs
up all around it, but whose dcvouring
wave is stayed by the slight wave of YER
lure which cnrichcs the wide domain. 1t
is truly peoples park. The rich ride

JUS feeling fills the breast; n feeling of
admiration and respect for the philan-

FOR THE FARM AND M
Winter Caro- Of Tools.

The time of year when most farm
implements are used least is also the
time when they suffer most deprecia-
ton. They wear more by rust than
by use. On the approach of Winter
all tools should be got under shelter
and their iron parts oiled or painted
to prevent rusting. A little resin, in
linseed oil makes a good coating and
one that will hold through the season.
If the iron has already rusted the rust
may be removed either by kerosene
oil or by a wash with oil of vitriol
quickly followed by one of clear water,
and then thoroughly creased. The
oil of vitriol will make a polished sur
face very quickly provided none is left
on the iron. But as soon as it has
eaten out the rust it will begin on the
solid iron and make a greater abrasion
than before unless checked. 1t is a
good plan to paint the woodwork Of
all farm implements nee a year.
After fall work is finished is as good
a time to 90 this as can be desired.

The First Worlds Fair.

In a history Of Worlds Fairs the
Chicago Herald gives the following
account of the first one ever held, in
1850:
That vas the first of the "World's

it in his head that he ought to do some
thing besides the special something
that he always did. He conceived the
idea of a "World's Peace Congress-"

Rruning Young Fruit Trees.

Everywhere M meets with young
fruit trees which sadly need judicious
pruning. A young tree is made or
married in it's first three years of
growth. If it is not directed Alright
it grows all awry and gets past the
remedy Of the ordinary cultivator. 1t
is easy for any person to train a tree
in the way in which it should go if he
begins in time, but a master hand is
needed to bring an ill-trained tree in
to good shape without entire heading
down and the consequent loss Of three
or four years growth. A general rule
for the pruning of young trees may be
laid down as follows: Leave no more
than three or four main limbs, and let
these be evenly balanced by cutting
away superluous growth; cut out
every branch and twig which grows
inward, leaving, and prevent all cross
growth OF wood, leaving each main
branch with an even and regular set
of small branches, which give a hollow,
cup-like shape to the tree. This makes
a basis for a most conveniently form
ed and handsome tree.-New York
Times.

HollutinH the Air.

An exchange has the following par
agraph: "a putrid carcass polluting
the air Of a pasture will spoil not only
the milk of cows running there, but
also the entire contents of the vat into
which the tainted milk is poured 1T
the factory" Experience demon
strates the fact that milk possesses a
peculiar strong absorptive power, and
all dairymen know the necessity OF
absolute cleanliness in order to secure
excellence in milk or its products.
Disregarding any effect upon the milk
of cows, no carcass should be allowed
to lie exposed above ground, because
OF the communicating influence which
it exerts upon the atmosphere. Nor
is that the only reason; every carcass
contains elements Of fertility that
should not be allowed to 60 to waste.
The system Of a farmer of our ac-
quaintance is well worthy of imitation.
Not a great ways away from his barn

animals destroyed upon the farm, or
any domestic animals that might die
Of disease or be accidently killed,
covering them with soil that was kept
at hand; here the process of putrefac-
ton and absorption goes on, and a
valuable fertilizer is the result. This
is carted off FOR use and the bones
found (if any in shovclling the mass
over are picked out and reduced by
boiling in a large kettle with crude
potash, which breaks down the bones

dried like phosphate and makes a
valuable fertilizer. How much better
than to let the animals throw out their
stencil upon the air.-Germuntovn

Selecting Fowls.

lowing to say about selecting fowls.
Note the pullets that look as your best
hens did at their age. If the shape Is

est and heaviest pullets. Notice that
the largest are often not the heaviest
pullets. the difference occurring in the

Are Twice Two Four ?

Mr.. Frank Cation somewhere tells
an amusing story, since profusely cop.
led by all the anthropOlogists, of how,
during his South African wanderings,
he once wanted to buya couple of sheep
from an unsophistic heather Da-
mara. Current coin in that part of
the world Is usually represented, it
seems, by cakes of tobacco. and two
cakes were the recognized market prices
of sheep in DImara land at the time
of Mr.. Gallons memorable visit. So
the unsuspecting purchaser chose a
couple Of wethers from the foes, and
naturally enough laid down four pieces
of tobacco to pay for them before the
observant face of the astonished ven
dor. The Damara eyed the proffered
price with suspicious curiosity. What
could be the meaning Of this singular
precipitancy ? He carefully took up
two pieces, and planted them in front
of one of the sheep then he took up
the other two pieces, with much won.
der, and placed them in front of the
other. Goodness gracious, there must
be magic in it The sum actually
came out even. The Damara, for his
part, didn't like the look of it. This
thing was evidently uncanny. How
could the super naturally clever white
man tell before hand that two and two
made four? He felt about it, no doubt,
as We ourselves should feel if great
mathematician were suddenly to calcu-
late out for US 'priori'' what we were
going to have to-day for dinner, and
how much exactly we owed the butch

cred but not convinced, pushed away
the cakes with Il gesture Of alarm, took
back his sheep to the bosom of his flock
and began the whole transaction over
again "de capo." He wasn't going to
be cheated out of his two sound weth-
ers by theoretical white man who
managed bargains for live sheep on
such strictly abstract mathematical
principles.
