which he inclosed in musquito netting,
and the result was twenty two quarts OF
plums in perfection.

North Carolina authority declares
that bagged grapes rotted in his vineyard
almost as badly as those exposed and the

w. D. Philbrick, a Massachusetts
market gardener, says that in preparing
the land for deep growing roots. like par.
ships and horseradish, it is necessary to
run the pillow very deep and take mar.

again and rake fine. Quick growing
crops, like radishes and lettuce spinach,
etc, do not require so deep working Of

RATS IN CELLARS.
A New York Farmer Tells How to Cir
cumyent the ROdenta


Henry Ives. of Batavia. N Y In a let
ter to The New York World, tells what
every farmer will be glad to learn.
namely, how to keep rats out Of cellars.
He says
When cellar Is infesyed with rats II 10
always found that they obtain their en-.
trance under the cellar walls, or at least
they must have holes or passageways
there to retreat to. and places there TO
burrow. II not they very soon will aban.
don the premises. II Is said that In max.
ing an entrance they first dig down just
outside of the walls and under the bottom
Of it into the cellar. and whatever holes
they dig in the cellar are always to make
passages under these walls instead Of into
the earth or any other part Of the cellar
bottom. Knowing this habit OF theirs.
then. one can so build that they will not
be able to get through under these walls.
and then they will be most effectually ex.
cluded from the cellar
This is easily done by following what Is
also most excellent practice in forming
the foundations for these walls. After
the cellar is dug and the lines marked
where the wall is to stand then dig q
trench twenty inches or two feet deep and
little broader than the wall is to be, di.
rectly under where it is to stand. Fill
this with small broken stone, say small
as for macadamzed road. or, what is
better. break up these loose, shelly flint.
stones in the trench. enough to fill it.
Either of these will make a good abut-
ment to construct the walls on. will act
as drain for the cellar. If it Is needed,
and above all will prove impenetrable to
the entrance of rats. They might dig
down from the outside. as their custom
is, but. finding at the bottom Of the walls
this loose. broken stone. which they are
unable to make passage through, they
will be obliged to stay outside. and the
cellar will be practically rat proof"
But if the walls to the buildings one
has were not made as above and the Gel.
lars are already infested with rats, they
may be made nearly rat proof" in the
following manner: Dig trench fifteen
inches wide and eight or ten inches deep
just inside, at the bottom of the walls.
FIJI this two-thirds full of the pounded
stones, and then with water lime cement,
enough to be even with the cellar bottom
and plastered a little way up from the
bottom Of the walls. This will prove 30
much of barrier to the rats in trying to
get passage under the walls again that
they will doubtless abandon the premises.

Several Valuable Insecticides.

Among the best insecticides is pyre-
thrum, which does not require to be eaten,
but kills by coming in contact with the
insects and Is safely and easily applied in
ell cases where it may be useful, for it is
quite harmless except to insect life. For
fowls that are troubled with vermin dust
1t into the feathers. 1t is very useful in
killing cabbage worms and the slugs and
insect pests that infest rose and currant
bushes. Kerosene emulsions may be made
with one quart Of soft soap to eight quarts
of boiling hot water, well stirred together,
when for safety the kettle should be taken
away from the fire and one pint of kero-
sene oil and one pint Of sour milk be
added, and all well mixed up while hot by
churning or using small hand pump.
This makes quite useful wash for trees
infested with borers and any kind Of in
eects. Powdered white hellebore is also
specially effective on currant worms and
rose slugs. Unlike pyrethrum, it is poi.
sonous, and care should be taken not to
sprinkle 1t on fruits that are to be eaten.
Paris green Is the standard remedy for
the potato beetle.

Feeding Young Chickens.

For the first twenty-four hours after
Matching no feeding is necessary, the
chief want of the little brood being ma.
ternal heat, and the more quiet and less
disturbed the hen can be kept the stronger
the chicks will become and the less dan
ger there will be to them in their weak
state from the feet Of the mother.
In about thirty six hours after the first
chirping is heard, some of them will make
their appearance ON the outside of the
nest, as if curious to learn into what kind
of world they have entered and how they
are to make living in it,
As soon as the hen is removed from the
nest to the coop, give little food, con-
sisting of fine oatmeal, or bread soaked In
milk, which Is continued three or four
days, with an occasional hard boiled egg,
which is then gradually changed to any
variety suitable to their age, until they
are able to eat cracked corn, wheat and
other whole grains, when the labor of
feeding will be greatly reduced A little
meal and finely chopped vegetables will be
useful occasionally, especially as long as
they are kept in limited quarters.

Where Illinois Draft Horses Go.

A prominent official of the Bureau OF
Animal Industry of the department of Ag-
riculture, a practical stock man, who In his
extensive travels notes the wide spread
popularity and the enviable reputation of
the grade draft horses raised in Illinois
throughout the eastern cities, writes US
at was my privilege last fall TO be
through the eastern States. Even In Yer,
mont there were many Illinois bred horses,
Some SPLENDID, large, stylish teams that
attracted attention wherever they went,
and 1t WAS with some satisfaction they said
this team came from Illinois. The same
was true for similar teams for similar pur-
poses in Pennsylvania. But the most no.
ticeable fact was those magnificent teams
In and around Pittsburg Pa. No city In
the United States has 30 many elegant
draft teams as Pittsburg. TO the inquiry,
where did these splendid teams come
from, the answer was from Illinois. The
draft horse industry Of Illinois took on a
new interest with me. 1t seemed TO me
there was no need of any hesitancy about
raising all they could of them, since the
demand cannot be exhausted. That mar.
ket will last, and the use for such teams is
vastly on the increase. | saw few too at
Birmin !ham and Chattanooga. They will
take great many In the near future. No
fear of the future Of draft horse raising"

Shipping Poultry to Market.

To meet the demands of the New York
market, the crops of turkeys and chickens
must be free from food or other substance,
hence poultry designed for that market
must be kept from food about twenty.
four hours before killing. 1t is generally
conceded that all poultry is best killed by
cutting through the roof of the mouth to
the brain with sharp pointed knife. For
that market leave the head and legs on,
and do not draw" the entrails.
The advice has been given many times
not to pack poultry until it is entirely re-.
lieved of all animal heat. This is an i'm.
portant point, for birds packed before
they are cold are almost sure to spoil.
For packing material clean dry wheat or
rye straw will be found preferable.

Facts About the American Farmer.

There is one man in this country who
works harder than most of the men who
are organized into labor unions. He gets
up between four ana five O'Clock. In the
morning and looks after his live stock be-
fore breakfast His breakfast, when 1t
comes, consists probably of salt pork and
pie or some form of hot bread. After
breakfast he goes 10 work in the field, and
there he works until the time comes for
his midday dinner which is about as nu.
lrltious and wholesome as his early
meal. After dinner he works until supper
time. His evening Is likely occupied In
mending harness, soaking corn for sowing,
or doing any one of the countless "odd
Jobs" which farm life calls for, according
TO the season. After year of such toll
this man is contented If he can make
enough out of his Crops-and. however
industrious he may be, this Is matter
which depends largely upon the weather.
to pay the interest on his mortgage and
start fairly for the coming twelvemonth.
And yet you are poor. Your profit on
your sales does little more than cover your
expenses. Does not this strike you as an
anoma lous state Of things? Is IL not worth
your while to reason out the why and
wherefore of the anomaly?
You sell at profit on the actual cost OF
the production, and yet your business can
scarcely be called profitable. Why is this ?
Is IL not because your expenses are greater
than they should be? Is it not because
you have to pay for almost everything that
you buy more than any other farmer in
civilized countries is obliged to pay Make
your calculations for yourself. You pay
more for iron, In all its forms, than any
European pays. That means you pay a
premium on all agricultural implements
on plows, cultivators, spades, shovels, rakes
and hoes, threshers corncutters, pitchforks,
trowels, moving machines, scythes, sickles,
axes, hammers, hatchets, knives, nails,
tacks-and everything, big or little. into
the composition of which that metal en-.
ters.
And this is not all You are paying a
premium on great many other things-
on your clothing, for instance: on the clo,h
ing of your wife and the clothing of your
children. Indirectly you are paying the
tax on the clothing of your farm hands
and the women employed In your house
hold. In order that American manufac-
turers should be encouraged, you are paying
duty to all American manufacturers. You
are told that q duty is levied on importa-
tons of foreign goods. But you pay this
duty If you buy the foreign goods. You

Under Two Tariffs.

Under high protective tariff the great
underlying industry of all industries
agricuture-has become slavish tool for
bread, The mortgaged Indebtedness of
any single State west of the Mississippi Is
probably greater than the combined mort
gagged indebtedness Of all the States In
any year prior to 1850.
Under low tariff the oceans were once
covered with American ships, manned by
American crews, and ladened with Ameri-
can products. They entered almost every
known port In the world, and either sold
their cargoes for gold, or advantageously
exchanged them for the products of other
countries. That was the golden age Of
prosperity TO the American farmer. Mort
gagged farmers we're almost unknown. A
protective tariff has enriched monopolists
and impoverished farmers.-RdHsas cay

the mallet was pounded upon this. Thus
the plank was driven securely to it's place
and the top was comparatively uniniured.
Had the attempt been made to drive the
planks with the ordinary mallet, the tops
would have been mashed and defaced.
