Household Hints.

In pairing fruit for canning, use a silver
knife, so that the fruit may not turn dark
colored.
Buy bar soap by the quantity. Keep it
whereit will dry, and it will 60 much
farther in using.
Finger marks may be removed from
vanished furniture by the use of little
sweet oil upon soft rag Patient rub.
bling with chloroform will remove paint
from black silk or any other material.
In cleaning paint spots which will not
yield to rubbing or soap, even the spots
which look like small gashes cut through
the paint, may be removed by rubbing
lightly with a damp cloth dipped in
soda.
Rusty black lace can be freshened and
otherwise improved by rinsing it in
water to which has been added boray
and alcohol in the proportions of one ia.
blcspoonful each of borax and alcohol,
to one cupful Of soft water. After the
lace is partly dry dip it in water in which
an old kid glove has been boiled, squeeze
gently, pull out the edges, and spread Oh
cloth or blotting paper and dry under &
heavy weight.

No. 4 wire.

1t has been determined tina. 500
pounds of corn products, including grain,
cobs and stalks, is equal in nutritive
value to o,612 pounds of hay.
A decaying shoot is steady strain
upon the roots, for although growth has
ceased, evaporation takes place as long as
the limb remains, attached to the tree.
All experience goes to show that the
farmer who has smooth land which can
be cultivated by horse power, and ne
elects to raise root crop, fails to live up
to his privileges.
Professor j. w. Sanborn, of the Mis-
souri, Agricultural College, has been cx-
pcrimenting with prickly comfrcy as a
forage plant, and while he finds it max
ing good growth from cuttings he has
been unable to induce cows to cat it.
In good crop of corn not planted too
thickly the weight of grain and cob will
exceed that of fodder when both are dry.
In drilled corn the reverse of this is true,
mainly because corn in drills is usually
too thick and there is too large proper.
ton of stalks without ears.
Most crops, excepting clover, derive
their food mainly from the first five or
six inches in depth of the soil. If we
can keep the surface fertile nothing more
is needed. Pulverizing the subsoil by
the subsoil plough is useful mainly to en-
able it to hold more moisture and to open
it so that roots may go down in search of
it.
On large farms there are necessarily
many horses employed during summer,
and if these are made a bill of expense
during half the year or more it is little
wonder if the winter consumes all the
profits of the year. On grain farms cut
straw, with ground feed Of some kind, is
much more economical than the usual
ration of hay and grain.
1t will not do to crowd the ewes with
their lambs into small pen with all the
other sheep. In trying to get theil
share of the rations they will be injured
by the crowding and jamming which at
tend the feeding. The ewes need extra
quiet and comfort for some time aftel
the birth of their young, and combining
in such quarters is all wrong
Whenever possible cows should b'
MIXED by the same person daily and
with little variation in the time. If re
quired to hold milk much longer thai
usual much of it is absorbed in the bas
as the easier way to hold it, and th
dries off the COW rapidly. Some goot
farmers insist on having cows MIXED a
six o'clock night and morning through
the year.
The idea that sandy soil is best TO
gardens is based on the universal de
mand for earliness. Since southern
market gardeners ship so largely to tn
north, earliness is of less consequence
as we cannot compete with them
Making the garden as rich as possibl
there need be no fear that if thorough
drained it will not be early enough 70

FIENDlSH RED MEN"
LawlcSs Deeds in the Interior of
West Virginia,

The Red Men," sort of Ku-klux organ
cation are again playing their fendish bust
ness in the interior of We Virginia, and
unless something is soon done to check their
pw'csSncSs the reign of terror of two years
ago bids fair to be repeated. Only three
weeks ago man was taken from his house
and whipped till amost dead, and now comes
the news from Richie county that a dwelling
has been surrounded by a mob, the building
fired over the heads of the family, and the
husband driven wounded to the woods with
his wife and children
The victim of this latest outrage is Robert
Glovcr who resided near the little village of
Smithvilla. One night his home was
surrounded by a mob of p disguised
men, who called Oh linn to come out De
Ginning to do SO, his house was fired, while
rifles, shotguns and revovers were discharged
Unfortunately through the windows, and
Glover returned the fire and succeeded in
driving his aSSailants away for few
moments, but while he was eXtinguishing
the fire they renewed the assault. Petroleum
was thrown upon the fire and most deter
mined effort made to charge into the house,
which was repulsed by Glover, who wounded
two of the attacking party. Mrs. Glover and
the children started to run to the stable and
were fired at repeatedly. At last, being
wounded in two places, and unable longer to
stand the heat and smoke from the burning
NOISE, he clpel to the WOO Is. All of his
property was destroyed before the "Red
Men" dispersed. The outrage has excited
the utmost Indignation.

Of all the leaks on farm, says the
Rural World, leaky, sloping barnyard
is the worst The time honored fashion
of placing the barn on knoll or the
highest spot of land near the house Isl
most reprehensiblc one. More wealth
glides away from such a sunny, elevated
barnyard than can be computed. 1t must
reach far up into the millions annually.
The number of barns that are so placed
that the water that falls from the. roof at
each rain and rushes through and washes
out the most valuable soluble portions,
can be numbered by the hundreds of
thousands.
Every level-hcaded farmer has, or
should have, level or slightly concave
barnyard, much in the form of an invert-
cd watch crystal. If flat, and the bot
tom is of clay, the outer edge should be
raised to height of at least one foot,
so that no water would escape that had
fallen in the form of rain.
For the purpose of converting the
largest proportion Of the wheat straw in.
to valuable manure, the stack should be
built in the centre of such yard, and
sufficient straw be scattered from time to
time to keep the yard in passable con-
ton.
To make the manure heap OF the great
est value the manure Of the various kinds
of farm animals should be daily or fire.
oucntly scattered over the straw in the
yard, so that each, possessing a distinct
i've value of its own, would become thor
oughly comminglcd, and thus form q
uranurU in common, that Is especially
we'll adapted to growing all kinds of
crops Such daily or weekly deposits in
the manure bank enable the thrifty far
mcr to check out from time to time a
reasonable amount of valuable manure
without danger of overdrawing his ac-
count. The farmer who has a good
bank of wcll-dccomposcd manure made
annually subject to his order, is, and can
be, the only true Independent one, for
the income derived from abundant crops
will as surely make him so as ten times
one are ten. Feed the soil, and it will,
in turn, feed, clothc and enrich you.

Some people recommend planting in
May and June, and others in September
and October; each practice has its adher-
ents, and while they are settling which is
best we will prepare our ground by deep
trcnching and liberal dressing, from the
compost heap, and then we will tell them
that the best time for planting the straw
berry is as soon as you can get the frost
out of the ground in the spring. If
planted in September and October, more
than one-half of the young plants are
thrown out and destroyed by frost, and if
planted in May and June, the hot, dry
weather coming on before they have got
permanent hold of the soil shrivels more
than one-half of them up; but when
planted before the sun has much power,
and while there is plenty of moisture in
the ground, and generally liberal al,
lowance Of showers, they commence with
the season and never 60 back. The
strawberry should be planted two feet
apart between the rows, and about eight.
inches between the plants these, the
year after planting, will give an abun
dant yield, and in spring should be top
dressed with a mixture from TIE compss.
heap and rather moro than half de-
cayed barnyard manure. The COM
post and the decayed parts of the ma
nure will feed the plants, and the littcry
parts of the manure drying will not only
act as mulch by keeping the sun from
drying the ground, but will also keep the
fruit and flowers clean during heavy rain
When the fruiting season is over, this
long stuff can be raked off and carted
with other garden refuse to the heap, and
the rest of the stuff forked in. The plants
should be encouraged to make good
strong crowns for next years fruiting. If
the weather is very dry during June,
when the strawberries are coming into
flower, give copious waterings; far better
leave it alone than half do it, and if the
ground gets two or three good floodings,
the top-dressing will keep it moist most
through the fruitins season. Every third
year, instead Of digging the plat up and
planting another, train the runners into
middle between the rows and peg them
down. With the liberal top-dressing we
have given the soil, here will be Just the
thing for new bed, and as soon IS the
young plants can do without their foster
ing mother the old ones can be cut off
and carted TO the heap aforesaid, some Of
the decayed parts of the heap brought
back in their place and dug in, and by
| the fall we will have a flourishing bed of
fine, strong crowns that will yield
/ splendid crop the coming season. And
this may be repeated every third year,
renewing the ground and plants in the
same manner. This is a way of my own.

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Depth 90 Sow Wheat.

Experiments in sowing by Mr. Charles
A. Plumb at the Geneva On. W Expert
ment Station showed that wheat sown
from one quarter, and from this to one
half, three-qumters, one, one and half,
two, and two and half inches deep
terminated from nincty-one down to
eighty grains-thc latter at two and two
and half inchcs-per 100 sown. But
the winter-killing was most severe in the
grains slightly covered, being eighty
seven plants at ole-quarter inch and
only eight at two and half inches deep.
From this latter depth down to depth
Of seven inches the results were more and
more unfavorable. At six and seven
inches only nine plants came up. The
conditions were bad and the wintcr-kill-
ing severe, and undoubtedly from the
fact that in deep seeding the plants come
up exceedingly weak, are obliged to put
out surface roots for support, and hence
remain weak. The results-and these
have been pretty constant in other like
experimentation that anywhere from
two to three inches, according to whether
the soil be heavy or light, is the proper
depth for sowing wheat. But in this
connection the farmer must not be misled
in the sowing of spring grains. From
one to one and half inches is the
proper depth for wheat and rye, and
somewhat more for barley and oats. In
fax the best results will probably cSn.s
in covering not to exceed one inch,
The grain thus throws cut its feeding
roots within the influence of heat and
moisture, gradually going deeper and
4 deeper as the season advances.

Millions of Acres Restored.

The secretary of the interior has rendered
a decision in the case of the Atlantic q Pacif-
ic Railroad Company, in which he holds that
it has no legal claim to the land along the
line of the road from San Buenavantura on
the Pacific ocean, in California, to San Fran
cisco, distance of 3S4 miles, and directs the
commission of the general land Office to re-
store the same TO the public domain The
fact that this line has been mortgaged and
money raised on its credit is, the secretary
adds, the misfortune of the mortgages in that
they took a mortgage on that TO which the
mortgagers hadno legal right This decision
restores to the public domain ., 45l 300 acres
