HOME AND FARM.

1t is said that the pods of lima Scans
are very injurious to hogs, though thev
may be fed freely to cows.
Have you ever observed how much
one tasty-looking, well-painted struc-
ture beside the house, even if it be only
the poultry house, adds to the appear
ance of place?-Fietd and Farm.
Correct is the man who says the
majority of the pork consumers do not
want to eat clear grease or even half
fat. A purely corn-fed hog from pig
hood to brotherhood is nearly equiva-
lent to a skinful of lard oil. More lean
meat is great desideratum. Boston

-Corn-Bread Without Eggs: Two
cups of corn meal. one cup of flour, two
and one-half cups of fresh buttermilk,

spoonfuls of melted butter and bake

In making compost the object
should be to have the materials in fine
condition. As compost is usually a
mixture of quite number of materials
and also best when perfectly decom-
posed, it serves better for young plants
that are tender, and is much superior to
stable manure for use in flower gardens
Prairie Farmer.
-Buttermilk Soup: Let two quarts
of sweet milk come to boil, then put
in your two quarts of buttermilk; stir
to keep from Jumping. Have slice
bread ready to pour it over, then put a
lump of butter into the kettle, stir in
with SIX tablespoonfuls of flour, return
the soup to the pot a few minutes, then
dish up.-Household
Cold boiled ham is much more ap
petizing if treated in this way: Boil
until within about fifteen minutes OF
being done, then skin it and rub all over
the fat and the cut end with brown
sugar, into which you have put few
drops of vinegar: then stick cloves al
over it and bake in the oven for fifteen
minutes. Very good for a picnic.-1o-

Happy is the apple grower, say:

ever it is found by all means give the
apple chance at it.
The restoration of color to fabrics
which from one cause or another have
deteriorated in this respect has suggest
ed various chemical applications and
processes. 1t has been customary to
employ ammonia for the purpose OF
neutralizing acids that have accidental

the stutfs, this being necessarily applied
Immediately, or the color is usually inn
perfectly restored. An application OF
chloroform has the effect of bringing
out the colors as bright as ever. Plush
goods and all articles dyed with aniline
colors, faded from exposure to light,
resume their original brightness of APP
pearance after being sponged with
chloroform; the commercial chloro-
form, which is less costly than the puri-
fed. answers well for this purpose

STRAWBERRY BEDS.
Renewing the Old Plat That 1t Wi
Produce "A Fair Crop.

renewing the Old Plat so That lt WI
Produce Fair Crop.
The following plan of renewal as
practiced by some of our best fruit
growers here is the most practical and
best have tried. 1t consists in turning
back burrows through the plat at inter-
walls of five or six feet, leaving a strip
eight to twelve inches wide, according
to the number of plants it contains, be-
tween each back-furrow. This strip is
then carefully hoed and thinned, leav-
every twelve inches in the row, being
careful to disturb the roots of those left
as little as poss bic.
The blowing should be done soon as the
crop is harvested, and if so done the
back-furrows may be left three or four
DAYS before cultivatinG, when it should
be thoroughly cultivated down, the
roots raked off and replaced with fine
manure. Cultivation should continue
at intervals, and the runners be allowed
to take root as in spring planting.
If renewal or renovation of the plat
has been neglected until autumn it is
better to NOW and rake off the plants
and weeds before blowing, then pillow
shallow and make the baek-furrows mar
row, leaving the rows not more than
three or four feet apart, and more plants
in the row, as the chances are that they
will not have time, after this date, to
spread enough for a remunerative crop,
if the rows are left the usual distance
apart. In all cases the space between
the rows should be kept clean and open
wide enough for pickers to pass without
treading on the fruit. Soon as the
plants are hoed, clean out all roots of
plants and weeds from the back-furrows
and cart them off either to the compost
heap or use them as a mulch for the
raspberries. Follow with a good coat
of well-rotted manure and shallow cul-
tivation, often as necessary to keep the
ground clear from weeds and the sur
face mellow.
Strong growers like Crescent and
James Wick will set plants so thicklv as
to choke each other and should be kept
thinned. At the setting in of winter
mulch with cut stalks. straw or coarse
manure. Either straw or cut stalks. if
not too thickly applied, neel not be re-
moved in spring. Mulch is indispensa-
BILE to prevent heaving or freezing out,
especially if the plants have a light
growth 1t helps to keep down weeds
in spring, may retard the poisoning
until after damaging frosts and serves
to keep the fruit clean. The latter is
an important item with varieties that
fruit near the ground, like the Sharp
less. Unlike most other plants, the
strawberry is not easily smothered by
winter covering.
The plan of leaving the old brus in
the raspberry patch until open weather
in winter or spring, has its favorable
side, especially as a winter protection,
but the new canes for best results should
be thinned to three or four stalks to the
hill. One of our most successful rasp-
berry growers thins in May, thus secur-
ing strong canes with numerous
branches for next years fruiting. Cor.

LOOK OUT FOR HIM.

The Truthful Old Man Who Returns With
Every Harvest Time.
The season is now at hand when the
pioneer ninety-eight years of age gets up
early in the morning. tightens his belt
by two notches and walks into the
harvest field to show the boys how it
used to be done in olden times After
gazing for a few minutes with contempt
at the reaper and binder, he picks up his
old-fashioncd cradle and sails in to cut
seven acres before shutdown. Seven
acres is his lightest days work. Take
him the country over he will average
about nine, and he won't sweat Il HAIR
until after noon. 1t will be all that
three binders can do to keep up with
him. and now and then he'll stop to turn
back handspring and lay some Young
fellow on the broad of his back.
When the old pioneer has finished his
nine acres he comes up smiling, leads
the crowd to supper. and then chal-
lenees the best man to a boxing match
or foot race. He appears regularly
every harvest and this will be no eXcep-
ton He is never less than ninety and
and seldom over ninety-eight, and the
statement always follow that he has

RAILRoADiNG FOR FUN.
Il Narrow Gauge Road Which Is Run ON
Primitive Principles.
fChicaun Naua

Primitive Principles.
lChicago NewsI
There is a little narrow gauge railroad
in Central Illinois which is rather
amusing. 1t runs through a rich farming
country, and is owned and managed by
wealthy farmers. The conductors, en-.
gineers and brakemen are farmers sons
who have grown weary of raising cattle
and corn and who have taken to ssrail-
reading" as a relief. The various sta.
tions along the line of this little railroad
are of no consequence whatever, except
to their score or more of inhabitants, and
to the farmers of the neighborhood. A
train starts from each end of the road
every morning after breakfast, runs to
to the opposite end of the road by dinner
time, returns again for tea, and ties up for
the night. As there is no telegraph line
connected with the road, nobody at any
of the stations knows when a train is
coming until it arrives in sight. As the
rails are laid on ties placed on the fiat
prairie, and as no grade exists from one end
of the road to the other, the tall grass has an
awkward habit of getting under the wheels
and stopping the train. Not infrequently,
also, the light ais spread apart and the
cars run off the track and go tumblng
along on the virgin prairie. Whenever a
little accident of this kind occurs the en-
gineer, conductor, brakemen and passen-
gers jump to the ground and lift the cars
into place again. The passengers ride in
a car reserved for them in the rear of
long line of freight cars. Half of this car
is partitioned off in order that it may also
serve for carrying mail bags, express mat
ter and baggage. Not infrequently pas
sengers walk into a village ahead of the
train and announce that the cars will fol-
low them in an hour or two, providing
they can be kept on the track long enough.
Sometimes locomotive gets stalled on
some one of the several gentle hills along
the line. The train men thereupon quietly
wait until the other engine appears. Then
the two engines draw the train up the hill.
Notwithstanding the oddities which exist
in the mana cement of this little railroad,
it hauls large quantities of freight and is
making money for Its stockholders.

a recent morning with the button hook in
her hand, and stepping up to her father,
who was reading the Bulletin in his favor

please button up my shoes?" "What in

button your shoes fer, Tiger?" "Because,"
said Tiger, "I'm getting old, and 1 want

bending over her shoes. You see, he had

went to Shelbyville, Ind, on pleasure
trip and visited Miss Flora Joseph, of tn at
city. On Sunday he and Miss Joseph at
tended camp-meeting together, and were
annoyed by receiving congratulations as
man and wife from their friends. The
congratulations were due to a mistaken
notice published in Sunday mornings
Shelbyville Times. To set matters right
and to avoid any further embarrassing
explanations they were married on Sunday
evening. 1t was not case of love at first
sight, their acquaintance having been es-
tabIished three wears ago.

How "Dragem" Got It's Name.

We were told Monday of the rather
strange manner in which the station Drag.
EN- was named. Our informant said that
when the railroad force was laying track
at that point little boy appeared with a
gopher, having a string tied to his head.
After staying short while watching the
hands work he decided to go, and at
tempted to force the gopher to go in front
of him, after the manner of driving a
horse. He worried with the gopher good
while without success, when one of the
negro hands c;,llod out to the boy o drag
'eni, from which the name of the station
was taken. Dragon is a small town on
the Florida South ern. near LeeSburg.
