Household Notes.

FISH may be scaled much easier by
first dipping them in hot water for
minute.
You can get rid of ants in the closet
by sprinkling powdered borax around
the shelves.
SELECT only perfect tomatoes for
canning. If they are over-ripe or have
bad spot in them they will not keep.
BE sure that the more blossoms 30 u
pluck the more yOu ,ciU hare. Seed pro-
duction exhausts plants; blossoming
does not.
As rule it will be found that it is
not the poor who practice small econo-
mics. If they had the will and the
skill to make the most of what they
have they would soon rise from their
low estate.
IN the arrangement of cut flowers we
too often make the mistake of using
too many flowers and too many colors
together. We shall learn better if we
study nature more. She never makes
mistakes in either respect.

the most fervent prayer will not restore

IT is no uncommon thing to see a
low-roomed cottage in imitation of its
statelier sister of the city, with heavy
curtains and stuffy upholstery, when
light, tasteful chairs and tables and airy
draperies would be so much prettier
and agree with its surroundings.

Strawberries and SquaShes.

d. 7. Averill, Mortified, VT, writes:
81 have cleaned out a strawberry bed,
and would like to learn if it would
benefit it to NOW off the tops. Where
squash vines keep running and blossom
ing, as mine are doing, would it be an
advantage to squashes well advanced
to cut off the vines beyond them?"
REPLY.-As a rule we have never
seen any gain from moving off the
foliage of strawberry bed after pick
ing. But if there were much rust on
the leaves, or they were badly infested
with any insect, we should be dis
posed TO NOW them, rake them, and
pile them on to burning brush-heap.
The moving would probably hasten
forward new and healthier growth.
Regarding the squash vines, we have
tried pinching these, as we'll as melons
and cucumbers. While removing fruit
which has set too late to mature, if
carefully done, without injury to the
vines, will probably cause the older
fruit to enlarge faster, we find that
nipping off the growing ends puts q
stop to all growth, both of fruit and
vine, for week or more, or until a
new growth starts. There is good deal
of nonsense printed on such matters
mere notions that have never been put
to a sufficient practical test.

A Wholesome and PaIatable Pickle.

The " sour cucumber " of the Ger
mans is a celebrated national delicacy,
and we find that the majority of Ameri-
cans also take fancy to it on first ac-
quaintance. This pickle is free from
every quality which often makes other
pickles Objectionable, very mild and
harmless, being made without strong
condiments and without vinegar, which
is apt to consist merely in dilution of
poisonous acid Our friends who wish
to try this delicious pickle may select
large cucumbers, soak them twenty-four
hours in water, washing them clean be-
fore laying down. Then put layer of
grape leaves Cor cabbage leaves) in the
bottom of the pickle tub, layer of Gu
cumbers upon these, another layer of
leaves, etc., until the cucumbers are all
laid down. Many people like the flavor
of dill, and may mix few stalks of this
plant among the pickles. These should
be weighted down with apiece of board
and a stone upon it. Then pour weak
brine upon the pickles, using coffee
cupful of salt to two gallons of water.
Have liquid enough to keep the cucum-
bers covered. Stand the tub in warm
place, either in the kitchen or out doors
in the sun. The pickles will be fit for
use in two weeks time, or less Take
out of the brine, wash, peel, slice and
serve. Try them.

Kainit---Pear- Blight.

writes: "Would you please inform me

Fermentable, heat-producing ma
nures are always productive of more or
less rank growth in plants on account
of their stimulating qualities. Such
stimulation, when carried beyond GER
tain limits, is in turn productive of
weakness, and thus the way is opened
for the introduction of disease through
secondary influences"
1t is the function of nutrition to pro-
duce growth, rank or otherwise, and it
is a misuse of terms to employ the
word stimulate " in place of over
nutrition, or to mean, as in this case it
evidently means, Unbalanced nutrition
The kind of growth here spoken of is
produced not only by fermentable,
heat-producing manures," but by all
heterogeneous fertilizers where the assim-
liable heterogeneous compounds are in ex-
cess; while 4" fermentable or heat
producing manures (Which includes
all manures of organic origin) by no
means necessarily produce such a
growth as is spoken of, though they
frequently do. Their fermenting and
heat-producing quality has no relation
to their stimulating" quality, or to
their content of nitrogen, since it is
due to the oxidation, principally, Of
their carbon and hydrogen compounds.
The weakness complained of as the
result of the use of these manures is
due probably, in most cases, to the lack
of due proportion of the necessary
mineral substances. When a we'll
balanced condition in this respect ex-
lists, strong growth is healthy growth
too.-T. II. Hoskins, IN Rural NeW

Some Serious Thoughts.

How many of you think of your respon-
sibility regarding the health of your chill
dren before their birth as well as after
How many think whether or not they
are expanding their vitality, that should
go to the embryo infant, in overwork
and overworry? How many of you
having weak or ailing children, either
small or grown up, know that they are
the result in great part of your effort to
" get your work done up?" Now Pm
not g paper farmers wife" but know
all about harvest-time, with its crowd
of hungry workers; all about house
cleaning, soap-making, butchering, can
ming fruit, butter-making, ETC., etc.,
and that with even good "help," which
is scarce, it seems almost impossible for
the " house mother " to take much care
of herself. But is there in the world
any work to compare with the value of
human soul? A dwarfed soul may
not exist in dwarfed body, but if, as
my text says, everything depends on
health-its a sound text, too-ought not
you, having evoked human life into
being, make it your first duty to give it
il as fair start as possible? Some peo-
pie may not think this a proper sub iect
for general reading and that it should
be confined to medical works, but the
people who have most need of this adj
vice would never see it there. More
over, the Rural gives advice as to the
production of the best grades of horses
and cattle, pigs and poultry, and are
not human animals of equal importance?
If we could regulate the breeding of
human beings as we do that of domes-
tic animals, the results would doubtless
be even more remarkable "A Victim,

Can Plants be Stimulated !

There is in animal physiology a
broad distinction between nutrition and
stimulation. The former is effected
through the digestive organs, the lat
ter is accomplished by direct action,
through the circulation, upon the
nerves. The first sustains and accumu-
lates force; the latter releases and ex-
ponds it. Now plants have no nerves,
yet we often find in the writings of
educated agriculturists expressions like
the following, which we cut from an
article from the pen of an agricultural
college instructor:

Hot Water For All.

A well-known engineer of this city has
devised 4 plan for mitigating the severity
OF winter and sbrinS in the North At
lantic States and warming the blue
noses of ouc friends in Nova Scotia. The
great warm current called the GJlt
Stream srrgrs by Us on is nortaeaster,y
co;!Es,'. bii, it IS commonly believed that
the British isles and southwestern Ed
rope get Ike benefit of it. With this
stream almost within our reach we
shiver and freeze through the winter
niGnths and that horrible season called
spring. because :: river of ice water from
the glaciers OF the pole pushes it away
from o,;r coast. Mr. Goodri.e, the
ri,iianthropic engineer to whom we re-
Ior, proposes 10 Gani this polar river in
tl,a strait of Belle Isle and turn its
waters eastward into the wide atlantic.
This strait, which separates Newfound-
land from Labrador, is at one point
only ten miles wide and $50 feet deep.
There he would invest St0,000,G 600 in .
dam.
He suggests that the interposition OF
this obstacle would raise the temperature
OF the coast from Newfoundland to Cape
Hatteras. Invalids could pass their
winters at Cape Cod or on Block Island,
the ST. Lawrence Gulf and river would
become navigable throughout tine year,
and the Newports of the future would
lie on the shores Of Nova Scotia. Giving
free erein to his imagination, he sees the
detected polar eurrent striking the Gull
stream OFF the banks of Newfoundland.

it 10 waste its warmth upon the shores
of Africa, while the perishing Britona
fly to their Indian empire to save their

That there is Gulf stream has been
demonstrated to the satisfaction of all
reasonable men. Moreover. we know
that there is polar current pouring
down from the north along the coast OF
Labrador and following the shore-line
Is f;ir south as Sandy Hook. But while
this current hugs the coast. not all Of
its waters pass through the narrow
strait which Mr.. Goot,rige proposes to
dam. On the contrary, there is reason
to believe that these waters for the most
part pass outward around the eastern
shore of Newfoundland. The dam
would be source CT great comfort to
the people who inhabit the shores, OF the
ST. Lawrence Gulf, but New England
