COWS SHOULD PAY FOR THEIR BOARD.

COWS SHOULD PAY FOR THEIR BOARD.
In order that the plants grown may
yield the best return of which they are
capable to the husbandman, his skill
should be exercised to provide animals
which can return to him the most in
products or service for the food which
they consume. It is possible to keep
animals which yield so much less in food
than they cat, that they are veritable
burdens upon the man whose property
they are. Instead of being his servants,
living and laboring for him, he some
times becomes theirs, and apparently
lives to keep and feed cows, hogs and
horses. The COW in all civilized coun-
tries is always boarder upon some per-
son. She should be made to pay for her
board at such remunerative rates as will
leave profit for the boarding house
keeper. If she fails in that she should
be made to render n service which she
will not unwillingly contribute. Her
carcass should be made into beef and her
hide into leather. She should not be
slyly sent to board upon some other UNI
fortunate man. A COW with the business
habit of keeping her accounts with the
world paid up through the man who
owns and feeds her, is a good business
COW. That is the kind of COW l recon-
mend. Her power of service will be in
dicated by certain external points. She
should have large long udder, of elastic
fine quality; mellow movable skim,
covered with soft silky hair; long large
barrel, hooped with flat ribs, broad aud
wide apart; broad loin, spreading out
into broad, long hindquarters; an open
twist with rather thin hips, and lean
neck of symmetrical length, carrying
clean-cut fine face with prominent eyes.
A COW with these points has ability to
serve man well, if she gets fair
chance. That her calves should have
powers equal to or rather better than her
own, care should be exercised in their
breeding. The best blood, of the breed
adapted to the farm er's purpose, should
be used to enlarge and not to lessen the
working capacity to be transmitted to
her calves. Farm, Field and Stockman.

MARKETING FRUITS,

Large cities do not always prove the
best markets for fruits. The best market
Is often passed by and the fruit sent TO
New York to be sold at less price than
{ would have brought nearer home.
Look well to the question of markets be-
fore the fruit is ready. If the fruit is to
be consigned to commission dealer,
select the man, not the one who makes the
greatest promises, but the one who has
best reputation for fair dealing and
promptness.
Conform to the customs of the market
in the choice of packages. Where the
custom is to send berries in round boxes,
those in square ones will meet with slow
sale. Have choice fruits, such as selected
apples, plums, ETC., go in bushel and half
bushel crates. Let the crates be built of
bright new stuff, and establish reputa-
ton for neatncss that will designate your
fruit, even without label. But do not
omit to mark every crate, barrel or other
package, plainly, with the name of the
consignee, and with your own name.
Make or purchase packages of all kinds
well in advance, so that this important
matter may not be rushed at the time
when the fruit is ripening.
Too much care cannot be taken in as
sorting fruits. Some make three grades,
the first and second for market, and a
third to be fed out or dried or otherwise
disposed of at home. Some of the most
careful fruit growers make but two
grades, the first and best only goes to
market. All other is kept at home, or
disposed of without having the name of
the shipper on the packages. s.-American

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

French engineers have undertaken the
sowing Of railway embankments with
poppies.
Paint made with turpentine is better
protector for iron work than it is when
mixed with flaxseed oil.
The cuckoo is an insectivorous bird :;
the hairy caterpillar which terrifes many
birds is readily devoured by him.
Forestry has long been made a study in
Japan; no people are more skilled in
grating and dwarfng trees than the
japanese.
The Australian beetle is colonized in
California that it may exterminate the
scale bug, an insect that preys upon the
fruit trees.
Experiments made on the dog and
rabbit show generally that the quantity
of water is less in the venous than in the
arterial blood.
Among the curiosities of electricity is
O Frenchman's claim that he will soon be
able to produce thunder storms at any
desired time and place.
Some forty miles from Barcelona,
Spain, there is an actual mountain of
very pure salt, which is hewn out in Has
open air, like stone from a quarry.
1t is said that Paris firm has pro-
duced porous glass for window panes.
The pores are too fine to admit of a
draught, but they assist in ventilation.
Next to sunlight the ineandescent light
gives the best illumination for reading.
All notions of the injurious effects of the
electric light on the eyes are erroneous.
Partridge wood is procured from
large tree that grows in the West Indies.
The wood is close-grained and hard, and
takes good polish; it is used chiefly for
umbrella-handles.
To prevent the loss of power in belts,
cover the surface of the pulley with
papier-mache. Apply by chemically pre-
pared cement. 1t will firmly adhere in
few hours, and thus become part of the
pulley.
A Russian doctor speaks enthusiast
cally of what he calls ''utrication' that
is, pricking with bunch of fresh nettles
as a cure for neuralgia and many other
diseases. It has long been in use among
the Russian peasantry.
Sawdust is being used by some build
ers instead of sand. 1t is said to answer
WE'LL as it is one-half lighter than sand,
and can be very advantageously used on
ceilings. Mortar made of quicklime and
sawdust, mixed with cement, does well
for brick or stone work.
The tornado is funnel-shaped column
of disturbed air, generally about forty or
fifty yards in diameter, rotating about a
nearly perpendicular axis. 1t forms in
the upper air a few miles overhead and
works down to the earth. Its track is
generally not more than twenty-five
miles until it disappears into the upper
air whence it came.
Sometimes great difficulty is expert
enced in making holes in steel that is too
hard to cut or file easily. This is eff
fected by the following mixture: One
ounce OF sulphate of copper, quarter of
an ounce of alum, half a teaspoonful of
powdered salt, gill of vinegar, and
twenty drops of nitric acid. If it is
washed off quickly 1t will give a beauti-
full frosted appearance to the metal.

pr. Charcot,s Queer Patlent.

A Paris correspondent of the Courier
tdes Etdts- Ui,is notes that hardly has the
intelligence of the discovery of the elixir
of life by DR.. Brown-Sequard ceased to
startle the French capital before Dr.
Charcot, ''the man among us who is most
habituated to the marvellous" draws the
attention of the scientific world to
femme chat, or cat-woman whom he has
discovered.
DIR. Charcot's femme-chat is an inmate
of the hospital of salpetriere, as the story
goes. She is pretty child, about four
teen years old, with blue eyes and long,
blond hair falling down her back. She
is modest and gentle up to certain mo-
ment, when the visitor suddenly beholds
her eyes, "frightfully convulsed," her
mouth shrivels up, horrible grimace
distorts her features and she drops to the
earth on all fours. Then She scampers
about the room ever and under chairs
and tables, seeking everywhere an outlet
of escape, and, if anybody attempts to
capture her, she spits with the unmistak-
able pfft, pfft, of an enraged puss. She
humps her back and gives vent to longs
miaulments IN crescendo, and if a bit of
paper or other trifle be thrown to her,
she stretches forth a paw or hand, as
the case may be, and plays with it us a
cat will. Finally, after having done the
entire pus business to admiration, she
curls over on her back, the crisis is over,
and the femme-chat becomes pure femme
once more.-Neio York Commercial Adrcr

A HOMEMADE BRooDER.

People who raise many chickens find a
good brooder a very useful institution.
There are many plans for making them,
from which we select the description of a
good one that can be easily made: Make
u box three feet square, one foot high,
open at the top and bottom. Over this
nail sheet iron, and then nail one-inch
strips around the edge, leaving a hole at
each corner one inch long. Make floor
of matched lumber, on the strips, leaving
a hole two inches square in the center,
around which fasten a tube four inches
high. Then make a cover two feet and
eight inches square. Set on four legs.
Along the edges tack strips of flannel,
slashed every two inches. Place this on
top of the brooder. Set lamp under
the sheet iron, and the air passing through
the holes left in the corners becomes
warmed, streams through the tube, and
over the chicks, while the floor at the
tame time is quite warm. Such an ap-
paratus, properly constructed and man
aged, fills the bill of a good brooder.-

noon USE ror HOUSE sLors.

If you save all the slops from the
house, the wash-water and suds of
sundry occasions during the week, you
will find that you have a supply of nutri-
ment at hand to draw upon which is far
richer than you had any idea. 1t will
not make poor soil permanently rich,
but it will afford sufficient nutriment to
nourish such plants as you grow in it dur
ing the summer in a very satisfactory
manner. We planted some ANNALS on
stiff clay that had been thrown out of
cellar. We water them regularly with
suds and slops, and they surpass in
growth and Righteousness those grown
in the garden.-Amoricdn Agriculturist.

Hints as to Shaving.

Never fail to we'll wash your beard
with soap and cold water, and then rub
it dry, Immediately before you apply the
lather, of which the more you use and
the thicker it is the easier you will shave.
Never use warm water, which makes
the face (of shavers) tender.
In cold weather place your razor
CLOSED of course) in your pocket OF
under your arm to warm it.
The moment you leave your bed (oi
bath) is the best time to shave.
Always wipe your razor clean, and
strop it before putting it away; and al
ways put your shaving brush away with
the lather on it.
The razor, being only fine saw, should
be moved in sloping or saving direc-
ton and held nearly fiat to your face,
care being taken TO draw the skin as
tight as possible with the left hand, so
as to present an even surface and to throw
out the beard.
The practice of pressing on the edge
of the razor in'stropping it soon rounds
it; the pressure should be directed to the
back, which should never be raised from
the strop If you shave from heel to
point Of razor, strop it from point to
heel, but if you begin with the point in
shaving then strop it from heel to point.
If you only once put away your razor
without stropping it or otherwise perfect
ly cleaning the edge, you may no Longer
expect to shave we'll and easy, the soaI
and damp so soon rust the fine teeth ano
edge
A piece OF soft plate leather should
always be kept with razors to wipe then
with. .-Nedicd Classics.

"Put All on der Living Chance"

He was only stable boy, as hardened
and unholy as they make them, yet he
was an immense favorito with patron
and proprietor alike at the Monmouth
track, and especially with his fellows of
the Morris stables. Recently stricken
with very grievous disease, his ply
sician told him that medicine and
science could do nothing moro for him.
While quickly realizing that he was fast
covering the homestretch of life, with
the death wire, as it were, plainly visible,
the ruling passion in the confding and
always courageous youth thus betrayed
itself:
"What's my chances, Doc2"
''Not worth mentioning, my boy"
zone in twenty, you s'posel"
"Oh, no."
''In thirtyl"
"No.n

A Whole Family Of Comets.

Professor E. S. Holden writes from the
Lick Observatory in California that the
comet recently discovered by Mr.. Brooks,
of Geneva, N. Y, has been regularly OBJ,
served at the Lick Observatory by Mr..
Barnard. He found the comet attended
by two objects, and his observation
showed them to be companion comets.
One of them had decided tail. "Be.
sides the three comets mentioned, there
are four objects near, which are probably
members of the same family. This phe.
nomenon is rare one, though it has been
observed before"

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
SOIL FOR HEMP.

The soil best suited to hemp is a rich
alluvial loan; it will thrive in a moder,
ately tenacious one if well pulverized and
it has good under drainage, either natural
or artificial. Land that bakes hard isnot
good for hemp. 1t is generally sown
broadcast, from bushel to bushel and
half of seed being used to the acre. II
drilled in less is required. When raised
