One of the greatest drawbacks that new
beginners in poultry raising have is the de-

half that number should occupy.
San Diego county, Cal, boasts a tree

is called the Pinus Torreyana, and is is
found only within very limited in the
county.
The current worm should be destroyed

thrum The latter, being perfectly harm
less. is to be more highly recommended.
Destroying beetle is equal to killing
fifty grubs. When meadows become in

root. They will destroy thousands of
grubs.

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

That was trite suggestion of Gov. Lees,
in his address of welcome to the Knights of
Labor at their Richmond meeting Monday,
when he said, let us make no war with cap
ital that whitens the seas with sails; that is
engaged to furnish employment to the
thousands of laboring people of the land
and alleviate the sufferings of the distressed.
The trouble with labor organizations hitE.
erto has been lack Of discrimination in their
warfare against capital; not stopping to in
quire whether it is employed in legitimate
and commendable purposes, and to regard
its rights as we'll as their own, but treating
all alike, as if II all was the instrument of
especially organized to defraud,
and rob and oppress the defenceless poor.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that the great
labor organization of the country will heed
Gov. Lees timely suggestions and so shape
heir deliberations as to make their
power and influence felt throughout the
and for good

Mr.. Powderly did himself and his order
high credit in his response to Gov. Lees
address at Richmond Monday, when he
emphatically denounced anarchism and
called upen his brethren to throttle it. The
impression has gotten hold of many peo-
pie that the Knights of Labor endorse, in
some measure at least, the purposes OF the
anarchists, and the unqualified condemna-
ton by the head of the labor order will dis
abuse many biased minds as to the attitude
of the organization towards this most dan
gerous and damnable heresy.

The result of experiments made by the
agricultural department in the sugar pro-
ducing qualities of sorghum, as announced
in the dispatches yesterday morning, fore
shadows a new and most important era for
matchless Kansas The experiments show
that while but so per cent. of the sucrose
substance is extracted from the southern
ribbon cane, the whole of it is obtained
from the so ghum by the process en-
ployed. No state or section surpasses, If
equals, Kansas in the production OF the
sorghum crop, in quantity, and in quality
our product is far superior in sugar making
as well as in syrup. The sugar crop will
no doubt rapidly grow into rank with the
leading crops Of the state. There is no
more profitable crop grown.

Eight Days Without Food.
Pail Mall Gayettp

The Royal Mail steamer Kinsembo
which has arrived in the Mersey from the
coast of Africa, reports having rescued at
sea- in an open boat, two men who had
been eight days without food or water.
The boat had originally four occupants,
but two of them died of their sufferings
before the kinsembo fell in with their boat.
When the kinsembo was near Old Cal
abar an OBJ ect was described in the dis
lance. 1t appeared to be a canoe, but no
occupants were visible; but for fear there
should be anybody in the tiny craft Capt.
Liversidge ordered the signal whistle to
be blown to draw their attention. In a
moment or two there slowly rose from the
bottom of the boat the form of a man.
The steamers course was then altered, and
on coming up to the canoe it was found
to contain two natives, one of the poor
fellows lying helplessly at the bottom of
the boat. The two men were then helped
on board, and the steamer was soon in at
tendance on them. When they sufficiently
recovered they told a pitiful tale of suffer
ing and death. They were fugitives from
Princes island, fleeing from the yoke of
their Portuguese masters. They were
kroo-boys, and had gone to Princes is
land many years ago to work on the plan
tauon Tor about year. When their pc
Rod of agreement was up they said they
were not permitted to leave the island.
They got clear of the island, but on the
third day tornado was encountered, and
the boat filed with water. What little
stock of fresh water they had was spoiled,
and some of the paddles of the canoe
were also lost. Day after day passed with
out bringing any rescue until the eleventh
day of their departure from the island.
They had then been about eight days with
out food and water, excepting some salt
water, which only made their thirst more
intense

Thinning Fruit.
Michigan HorticulturiSt

When planted in rich soil good, thrifty
fruits will nearly always overload them
selves, and in order to secure the best
smoothest and largest fruit considerable
thinning must be done. This is especially
the case with grapes and tree fruits.
Choice apples, peaches, pears, ounces
in fact, the best of all kind of fruits,
command the best prices and always sell.
Outlines the market becomes glutted with
poor fruits, and the prices realized are
really below what it cost to produce them
and sometimes they cannot be sold at any
price, while at the same time the choicest
and best are selling at profitable price.
Too many fall into the error of thinking
that by thinning they lessen the quantity
so much that they prefer to let the fruit
remain. This is mistake, as well as to
think that by thinning they lessen the
profit on the fruit. When tree is heavi-
ly loaded the fruit must necessarily be
small, and this will lessen the quantity;
then the fruit being small, will sell for a
less price and you really lose rather than
make by not thinning. Then, in addition
when a tree or vine is allowed TO overload
and mature, the fruit is a strain upon the
vitality of the tree, so much So that rest
y
will fail to bear. Whenever tried judici-
ously, thinning fruit alwaps pays, but it
requires considerable courage when the
tree. are laden with young fruit to go
over and pull off and throw away a consi-
derable portion of the fruit. To one who
has never tried it at first it would seem
like waste, yet 1t has been tested suffi-
cienily to prove its value. The work,
Of course, should be done early, as soon
after the fruit has set as possible. The
longer the fruit grows after setting the
more waste of vitality of the tree that
should go to the other fruit that is left
upon the tree to mature. Close crowding
is what often makes ill-shaPed fruit. If
you have never been in the habit of thinn-
ing try few trees first to see the effect,
and in majority of cases you will con
clude that it is beneficial.

Now I'll tell you why | wouldn't go into
a restaurant and have cup of coffee
with you while we were waiting for the
train. | didn't like the way you asked
me. Keep quiet, have the floor. Not
half an hour before you said to Mr.. Puffer
come, let's have a cigar" and away you
went. holding his arm and not giving
him a chance to decline.
When we met Johnny O'Howdy on our
way to luncheon you said, lust in time,
John; come take lunch with US" And
then tonight, when we found the train
nearly an hour late. you looked at your
watch, turned to me and said, in a ques-
tioning way: Would you like a cup of
coffee:-' And / did want it; l was tired
and little hungry, but 1 would have
tainted before / accepted such an invi-
tation. And you went away a little bit
vexed with me, and had your coffee and
bread and butter by yourself and didn't
enjoy it very much. In effect, you said
to me: IF you want a cup of coffee, if
you really want it. 1 viii buy 1t for you"
You are the best husband in the world,
but do as nearly all best husbands do.
Why do you men seem to dole things out
10 your wives when you fairly throw them
TO the men you know: Why don't you
invite me heartily as you invite mem
Why didn't you say, come let's get a
little coffee and something" and take me
right along with you. You wouldn't say
70 a man, would you like me TO go and
buy you a cigar: Then why do you al
ways issue your little invitations TO treats
in that way TO me: Indeed, indeed, my
lear husband, if men would only act
toward their wives as heartily, cordially.
frankly as they do toward the men whom
they meet. they would find cheerier com
panions at home than they could at the
club.

Hints on Cake Baking.

When cakes are made without yeast
or eggs, soda and powder being the sub
stltutes, they require quick baking in a
moderately hot oven, and should be
drawn directly when they are done, or
they get dry and tasteless. For a plain
cake, make with one pound of -four, etc,
the time TO be allowed in baking would
be from orty to fifty minptes, at the
outside not more than an hour. Yeast
cakes take longer-say from ten to fif-
teen minutes viii bear to be left in
the oven rather over the time without
much injury. Very rich cakes, in which
butter and eggs predominant, take. of
course. much longer time to cook;
pound cake taking from an hour and a
half 10 two hours, and bride cake three
and a half. On no account should the
oven be too hot when the cakes are put
in-that Is, not hot enough to brown at
once; If so; in five minutes the whole out
side viii be burned, aud the interior will
stand little chance of being cooked. The
old plan of feeling the handle of the oven
door to test the heat, Is not always sue
cessful. 1t is better to sprinkle a little
flour inside, and shut the door for about
three minutes: If at the end of that time
1t Is of rich light brown. the cake may
be put in; but If burned, the heat must be
lesseued-

We are often told that June and July
butter is prime when August butter fails;
then it grows better in September, and
so on. Why is June and July butter bet
ter than August butter: Because the
cows have gone out in the fresh field and
have had pure grass in abundance. The
flow of milk is increased, and we readily
churn butter from it in about one-half
the time in July that is revuired in the
winter time or in other seasons. This is
because of the June grass. The last of
July the feed begins to fail. June gras
has become too ripe, and something else
not as good must take its place. The
dairyman should have crop of winter
rye, and feed that with his corn meal,
and carry it through the month of Au
gust. Cows fail in milk more in the
month of August than in any other part
of the season. In the month of Septem-
Der the cattle are allowed to sweep over
the meadow and around the corners of
the fences where the moving machine
did not reach. The remedy is to feed
corn meal during the month of August.
1t would cost a trife over l cent per
pound for feed and extra trouble, but the
butter yield would be kept up. If the
rye gets to ripe before August have a
supply of clover for the cattle. When
the rye gets nicely started, cut it with a
moving machine and a second crop will
soon be ready.
