Mental Work at Home.

| met on the street the other day liter
airy friend of mine who was in high glce at
having just secured new study at the top
of building on State street. believe
somewhere at any rate, in the business
part of the city. AS he lives in charming
house in very quiet neighborhood on
Beacon Hill, ! wondered why he should go
outside of his own door for working
place. But when he explained his motive,
could not but acknowledge its sufficiency.
AT home" he explained, ''if the chill
dren cry. wonder what is the matter, and
II they cry very hard, | stop to find out.
Then my wife, dear, good, gentle, unselfsh
creature that she is, knocks at the door to
learn If would rather have apple fritters
or mince pie for dessert. When a carriage
or cart rattlcs up to my door, or the
neighbor'S, usually find myself waiting
for ring then for the bell to be answered
and finally for the slam of the door when
the errand or call is concluded If nothing
happens and not a sound is heard, Won
der why the deuce it is so, and sit in ner-
vous expectation of some domestic thunder
clap. What makes ministers SO nervous. y
he cried; "and why do they have to go
abroad for health so often' ! tell you it is
because they do their work at home"
There is some truth in this | have no
doubt.-Boston Transcript

Farm and Garden.

Fresh water is essential lor all classes of
| stock at this season
The beets and carrots will now crowd out
the weeds in the rows. but the ground be
tween the rows should be kept clean.
Eggs from hens not in company With
males will keep two or three times as long
as will those from hens that are with
males.
The ox-eyed daisy will overrun the clov-
er field unless extirpatei, and it may be
necessary to go over the field and pull
them out by hand.
The sureSt way to kill thistles is to keep
them down. As fast as they appear above
ground cut them off, and they WILL in time
become exhausted and die
\ handful of linseed meal to the brood
sow once or twice week will be benef-
cial 1t is also excellent for the pigs If
given occasionally, especially if the food
lacks variety.
Rake up the fallen apples and other fruit
| and destroy them, either by throwing them
in the hog pen or by burning them, as many
of the fallen fruit contain insects or their
| larve. In some orchards the ground Is al
| ready covered with small fruit
Usually when tree or vine dies from no
apparent cause it may be due to the work
| of insects or parasites at the roots. At
this season of the year it will prove of ad-
vantage to dig around the roots of trees
and examine them. Always apply airslak
ed lime literally before replacing the earth
around the roots
1t is cheaper and more economicalto hoe
the corn than to allow grass around the
stalks. Even when corn is cultivated in
check rows it is sometimes impossible to
get all the grass out except by the use of
the hoe, especially if the corn is planted on
old sod land
Whenever ground that is heavily cover
ed with green growth is plowed under 1t
i'll pay to broadcast at least ten bushels
of lime per acre over the ground. Lime
assists in decomposing the plants that are
turned under, and acts on the soil in
manner to induce it to yield up a greater
proportion of nutrition for the support of
the next crop.

1t is very simple operation to benz
down a limb and keep it covered with mois
earth till it is rooted, and them cut it from
the parent tree. If the bent branch is
partly cut off or slit up under bud, o.
twisted like a withe at the lowest point.
it will help both the bending and roofing.
A wire twisted around the layer just below
the bottom bud in the ground, and holes
punched through above and below the
wire, may be made through the layer i'll
the buried portion to stimulate its roofing
from the callus Of the wounds. The bark
is sometimes cut nearly around the layer
just below bud. and bits of wood removed
below this cut to induce the formation of a
callus, from which roots are emitted. 1t
| is sometimes necessary to fasten down stiff
branches with forked peg or weight.
Young shoots of thrifty trees make the
best layers. 4griculturist for

The kind of hog most in request now is
from to s months old, averaging from 16o
| to $50 pounds. If farmer would get a
tip-top price he should sell two litters a
year. Packers want for the European
market a lean, yet well-fed, heshy side.
cutting full Of lean. This shows that there
has been within the past ten or twelve
years radical change in the character of
hogs demanded by consumers. The trade
in meats has become so important that
packers must have the style of hogs most
suitable for that class of meat. The old
style hog with weight of 800 or GOO pounds,
is becoming thing of the past, and the
