Raising Frogs for Market.

Ever since American epicures devel.
oped taste for the legs of frogs, about
twenty 1--WE or thirty years ago, the pos
sibiIty of raising frogs in private ponds
as trout are raised has received deal of
attention. Among those who have
tried il is Mr.. Fred Mather, .he fish
culturiss OF Cold Spring Hsrbor, l.. 1.
The late Seth Green also experImented
with frog spawn for two years. Mr..
Mather says that it is no trouble at all
to gather frog spawn and hatch mil.
lions OF polliwogs, and the polliwogs
may be easily fed on both meat ard
vegets bles, for they eat both. SO far,
raising frogs is easy. But when it
comes TO caring for the frog after he
has left the tadpole state the enterprise
fails. Mr.. Mather says he feds, as
Seth Green did, that all that was ne
cessary was 10 procure insects in suif
cient quantities 10 feed the frogs, but
no one can procure the insects. Meat
and vegetables such as tsbls refuse
won't do-eyen good meat alone is not
frog food, and Mr.. Mather says that il
it were it would cost too much. To
make frog culture success the cultur-
lst must at the same time become a
breeder Of beetles, flies, musqitoes and
other insects and snails.
Mr.. Mather SAYS that even il the inS
sects could be raised for food the pcssi-
bility of making frog pond pay would
not be great. Big frogs eat up the lit
tie ones for one thing, aud besides that
it takes seversl-perhaps l0-years for
a frog TO reach a marketable size. The
actual time required for growth is not
known, but Mr.. Mtther Saws that many
of the poliiwogs do not get their legs
until the next season after they are
Matched, which shows they are OF vesy
slow growth.
Occasionally a story describing a
frog farm has bsen printed IN some Of
the papers. Mr.. Mather saws he has
investigated eyerv story that seemed u
te true aud found them all apocrypha'
lie concludes that frog culture is d :
lusion and that paying frog farm can
not now and probably never will be es-
tablIshed.

The Care OF Lamps.

People who live in houses lighted by
gas escape much that is disagreeable
in the care of lamps-or their lack of
care. But the Kerosene lamp is the
almost universal illumination.
The best light is obtained from a
a lamp where the surface OF the oil is at
all times at the same distance from the
burning part of the wick. Where the
reservoir containing the oil is directly
under the burner, as in most common
lamps, the blaze burns less brightly as
the oil decreases and the wick grows
more taIty in supplying it. We need
an Improvement IN hand lamps on this
account.
The wick serves principally to elevate
the oil, the combustion of its own sub
stance being very slight. but there is a
choice in wicks. Felt wicks are pre-.
ferable to woven, as they can be more
easily trimmed to give GOOD shaped
blaze. Some housewives in trimming a
wick will cut off all the black every
day. This is undesirable. for by pinch
ing of the loose Gbers and smoothing
over the top better light is obtained.
The inside of the oil reservoir should
be carefully cleapsed with soda dissolved
in water (tea spoonful to quart of
water.) Be careful to drain and dry
them well. This can be done easily by
standing them in the open oven a few
memen;s. Do not let the soda and
water come in contact with any bronze
OF gilt about the outside OF the outside
OF the lamp.
Oil should be strained before i. is pui
into glass lamp. The burners should
be boiled In soda wafer once 10 a month
or two. Ii you live in or near where
there is a factory in which brass i,
handled take the burners there and
have them dipped. 1t will cost but :
few cents, and they will look ike new

Farm, Notes.

After the wheat has been threshed
the straw is stacked in the barnysrd and
the stock turned in to eat a portion
while trsmplng the larger proportion
in the mud. The hay is carefully
stored in the barn loft, while the corn
in the fields 10 topple over and become
wasted. Every pound OF hay saved is
pound gained, aud with more care OF
the straw and stalks the hay will winter
large number OF cattle. The straw Is
considered of but little value. yet the
farm caa be impoverished ny selling off
the straw. or Inorganic matter 1000
pounds OF wheat contain less than
pound os lime, but little over two pounds
of potash. and not as much as a pound
of phosphoric acid, though containing
largely OF starch aud nitrogen. The
straw contains in its composition nearly
three times as much lime as h. gIaia, and
three times as much phosphoric acid.
These proportions are seemingly small,
bus they amount To a large quantity
where hundreds of tons OF straw are
grown. Over 80 pounds OF ash exist in
1000 pounds os straw, which is more
than double the amount OF ash in the
grain, and in feeding value the wheat
is well worth being cared for, as four
tons Of straw are equal TO one ton OF the
best hay.
Experiments appear TO have proven
that acid apples with white flesh make
the best product when dried. In large
establishments apples are prepared for
the evaporator by machines that pare,
core and slice the apples In one opera
tion. Hand prepared fruit. not being
divided into uniform pieces, does no.
dry as evenly and present as attractive
appearance. Some manufacturers pace
the apples when they come from the
parer into a solution of salt and water
one pint OF salt TO ten gallons OF
water. This is thought TO cut the gum
on the fruit and clean it, also to prevent
fermentation and acid in bleaching.
A Minnesota grain grower says that
any farmer can haYe good seed if he will
constantly practice careful selection.
In the spring OF 1883 he procured from
a dealer fifteen kernels of Welcome oats
for trial. He has raised four crops
from these oats, and their produce, the
last giving him 124 bushels, machine
measure, ami they are the heaviest oats
in the market.
An exchange remarks that when trees
or shrubs are set in habitually dry
ground, pail or two ot water, applied
when she trees are planted and when
the hole is two-thirds filled in, will be
beneficial. IL the hole be then filed
with loose earth, and a mulch OF straw
added, The roots Will be likely to keep
moist throughout the season, and the
ground will not become packed on the
surface.
Given IN winter cooked fooi-ied
slightly warm, rs it is pretty sure to be
lis eaten more rapidly and does more
good than that uncooked. Cows in
crease their yield Of milk on it, and al,
animals thrive better than previously
When vegetables are stored in cellars
they must be kept from fermenting. a:
they surely will :erment when piled iu
large bulk. This may be accomplished
by piling on as to allow some circua-
tion OF air among them, or by packing

Ihe Moodchuck,s BurroM.

Through some parts of the State of
Connecticut it would be hard to pick
out a clover field Of any size that did
not have a woodchuck burrow in some
Of IL. Sometimes they choose site
somewhere under the stone wall which
surrounds the field, or il there is a large
rock. as is often the case, anywhere
about the middle OF the field, the ami
mai will burIow under this as very
choice location. Finally the roots OF
an old apple-tree or other tree are often
chosen for its stronghold, the burrow
being dug down among them. the own
er seeming 10 possess realizing stnse
that no man would ever dream OF at
tempting to dislodge him from such
quarters. AS is the case with excava-
tions made for their habitations by
most fossoIial mammals, the burrow OF
a woodckuck at first decends obliqnely
into the earth. then passes nearly hori-
zontally for several feet, rises moder-
ately for the last half of its length 10
terminate in quite a spacious and round
chamber. which constitutes the "living
room" Of the entire family. In it the
female brings forth hsr litter and the
young remain there until they pair of
and dig their own homes else where.
Such burrow may be at least thirty
feet in length, so long that one never
thinks OF digging a woodchuck out, but
/ haVa hrino nr
three barrels of water on a cart and
drown the occupant OF this subterraB-
can establishment at short notice and
rejoice most heartily If the pair and
perhaps sever OF eight qusrtergrowa
young are caught in at the same time.
Very often have captured them in
| steel traps set az the mouth of the bur-
row, taking the precaution to sprinkle
1t carefully over with fine dirt. ODe
| old woodchuck, 1 remember, construct
ed his burrow almost in the center OF a
twenty-acre clover lot, and every at
tsmpt 10 capture him in any kind OF 3
trap utterly failed. It was the rErest
thing in the world to eren catch bin
/
row during the day, but frequently We
would see him just head aud shoulders
out of it. 1t seems to me l must have
| fired thirty or forty times at him under
such circumstances from the other side
| OF. the stone wall which surrounded the
Geld, and that too, with a heavy old
fashioned muzzle-loading Kentucky
rife, which at seventy five to hun
dred yards was good nearly every time
for all small game. But here every
shot failed, cloud Of dust would puff
at the very entrance OF the burrow each
time and L would confidently walk
over 10 pick him out, but no, next day
he was there again, looking out as
smiling as ever. he was captured fn-
ally by my cruelty tying a Colts revolv-
er TO stout stake driven down within
a few feet OF the burrow and training
the aim down the entrance and then
tying long string to the trigger. i
waited behind the wall TIL he again
showed himself when the success OF the
| device sealed his doom.

clusion that he will get $4,000 votes i'll this
State. and will not be surprised if it is 6OO0O
And dr.. Pitner is conservative on the sub
ject of vote estimating and general party
growth. He says about SO per cent. Of the
Methodist. Baptist and Christian preachers
are with us. The Methodist presiding elder
of the Joliet district told him that all OF his
preachers but three were Prohibition party
men. and those three are on the fence. Out
of some sixty preachers in the Chicago dis
trict. fifty are with our party. Another fea-
ture Mr.. Pitner cites is the west pocket
vote" He declares that there are large
number of business men and others who do
not want to be harassed and annoyed by
old party people. us they would be, if they
declared publicly for the Prohibition party.
These men, however. are convinced that
thew ought to vote the Prohibition ticket. so
without saying Il word to anybody they will
quietly step to the polls on election day and
deposit a vote for Fisk and Brooks. Walter
T. Mills has just returned from lecture trip
in New York State. He reports. prospects
for Prohibition party growth in New York

Prohibition ticket. He considers the Toicee's

coming, but it can never como through the old
rum cursed parties. 1t will come when the men
OF brain and conscience support the party that
means to put down the saloon. The results
which have followed the methods of the political
Prohibitionists prove the wisdom OF their meth
DDS and demonstrates that along thelne of new
party action will come deiverance from the
great drink curse of America.
"There is a Prohibition party in Maine be-
cause there is a necessity for such party in
national p litics, as there was O Republican par
ty in Maine i'll 1-55 because there was neces-
sity for such party in national affairs Maine
cannot settle this question for herself, only a
national movement can settle it, and Maine
must do her part In that movement. There is
@ Prohibition party in Maine because neither of
the old parties viii stani by prohibition if
there is anything to be lost by 1t. We want
party that will espouse prohibition as princi-
pie. and rise or fall with It, There is q Prohibit
tion party in Maine because experience proves
that liquor laws cannot be thoroughly and per-
lnanently enforced as parties are organized at
present.
"A new party is needed to unite the friends of
Prohibition. The rength of the liquor mon con-
sists not only in their wealth and organization.
but in the divisions of the Anti-SalOon forces.
To accomplish our purpose we must move we'll
organized army against the intrenchnents of the
liquor power and must therefore unite at the
ballot-boN. But where shall we unite? We are
New-Englanders The preiudices and traditions
of New England are behind u.s. For one, I
willing to clasp hands with Southern men if they
wish to fight the saloon; but cannot stand with
them in the Democratic party BY education and
conviction 1 am opposed to the Democratic
party. Our friends in the South have had their
political opinions shaved by the influences around
them and the institutions behind them, and are
opposed to the Republican party. They will not
leave their political home to fight saloons under
the banner Of Republicanism. And yet we must
unite and just so long as the present party lines
are kept up just so long will the saloon remain
in politics and whisky curse the American home.
We must unite, and can only meet on equal terms
in party. This is honest and fair and men
who think more Of righteousness and good gov
eminent than they do of this OF that party tradi
tion ought to be willing to do this"
