In Chicago, as elsewhere, man can not

and other specimens of American man.
kind in this respect is that the Michi-
gan Lake breezes haze the effect OF
creating an appetite which would put to
shame the dweller in any other part of
the country. Take him all in all, the
average Chicago man lives to eat, and
the average Chicago woman keeps him
company.

Making an Orchard.

Do not select too many varieties. For
the West none OF US need to be told that
the varieties that do even fairly well
are not great. If there Is variety that
for several years has done well in your
immediate vicinity take it. Perhaps it
may be somewhat inferior. But take
it. The Ben Davis Is not the best Of
apples, but many an apple grower sticks
to it because it often does better than .
better variety. Winter apples are pref
cradle to fall or I. summers I That is
to say, it is better to have More
of them than fall or summer varieties.
Early apples, however, are profitable to
grow. Any thing that Is early on the
farm usually brings good price But
the main dependence in apple growing
are the winter varieties. - Western

But IL these quadrupeds get into the
beds after all, know of no other way of
getting them out than to catch them or
to poison them. OF the two ways l al
ways prefer the former. Poisoning,
with me, is only the very last resort.
In all localities where moles abound
(which is not the case in my friend s
place), and in larger towns generally,
the hardware stores keep good, service
able mole-traps on sale, although am
not posted concerning the price usually
asked for them. By takinga little time,
and with some patience and perseverance
in setting the trap or traps, the offend
ers can be got rid of, and their numbers
in rich garden soils, lawns or meadows,
wherever they abound, at least greatly
reduced.
AS ru lie, do not admire the garden
implements and small devices generally
that come from foreign countries. They
are mostly clumsy affairs, adapted to
clumsy methods and to conditions where
time and labor are of little consequence.
In the mole-trap shown in the annexed
illustration 1 think we have an excep-
tional instance. 1t seems to be model
of simplicity, and altogether service
able device. 1t comes from Germany,
but whether patented or not am not
informed. Any blacksmith would be
able to make one after the picture, all
the materials needed being some band
iron and piece of spring steel.
If manufactured in wholesale way,
cast iron being substituted for wrought
iron, the original cost might be reduced
SO that the trap could be sold in retail
for fifteen cents apiece at profit to the
manufacturer ank dealer. The retailers
in Germany sell the trap for about
eleven cents apiece or one dollar per
dozen. At that rate every farmer could
afford to have trap or two, while sew
enty-five cents or one dollar each (which
suppose is about what mole-trap sells
for at our stores) makes it's use in many
instances prohibitory.
The construction of these MOLE
squeezers is made plain by the illustra-
ton, and need only add that the trap

A model milk test was held by Prof. j.
". Robertson at the Provincial fair in
Ontario with a view of ascertaining cost
of production as well as amount. The
everyday farmer cares more to know
what kind of cow will produce one
pound of butter the cheapest than to
know which will produce the most.
Three cows each of Ayrshires and Jer-
seys were entered. The Ayrshires with
s1.4s worth of food gave PAS pounds of
milk which produced 7.1S pounds of pure
fat The Jerseys gave Us pounds of
milk which yielded sos pounds of fat or
Sl.20 worth Of food. With making due
allowance for the length of time after
calving, the Ayrshires showed profit
of Is per cent. on the value of the feed
consumed and the Jerseys AZ per cent.
The only thing that prevents this test
from being absolutely conclusive is the
shOrtness Of the test. Most Of the milk
and butter was the result of feed con-
sumed days and may be weeks before
the fair. Such test marked an ad-
vanced step, but it should extend over a
longer period of time.-New England
Farmer.

And all this time he, too. gave many
thoughts to the sweet brunette; not sem

Ring, happy bells, across the snow,
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms Of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care the sin,
The faithless coldness of the times;
Ring out, ring out, my mournful rhymes,
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic Islander and the spite;
Rirg in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love OF good.
Ring out old shapes Of foul disease,
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years Of peace.
King in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

1.-The great Chicago trinity-saloon,
drug store and restaurant" wise man
from the East once upon time called
the combination, and, to tell the truth,
he was not far from summing the whole
thing up correctly.
Saloons and drug stores are very
much alike wherever one may go, and
it would be waste of words to speak
about them, but description of what
Chicago offers in the way of eating
houses will throw some light on a mat
ter in which every body is interested.
First of all, then, Chicago has restau-
rants for all classes and conditions of
human beings. Restaurants for the
rich, restaurants for the poor, restau-
rants for women, restaurants for ne
groes, restaurants for Germans, restau-
rants for Frenchmen, restaurants for
rat-and-rice eating heathens, lunch
counters for busy clerks and eating
halls for tramps and other impecunious
individuals.
There are, for instance, gorgeous
dining halls for the representatives of
the four hundred who may desire to
dine outside of their clubs, where
piece of sirloin steak costs a dollar and
look at the head waiter adds a quar-
ter to the bill, where garcons in full
dress fit hither and thither with noise
less tread, where finger-bowls are in
everyday use and where even the
fashionable mouth-bowl is not a
stranger.
What on earth is mouth-bowl, you
ask. Why, the mouth-bowl is a Russian

OATMEAL AND EGGS. 10 CENTS.
Nth cup OF coffee or tea free gratis.

In the same place small beefsteak,
potatoes, bread and butter, and three
doughnuts can be obtained for dime,
and a sirloin steak with the same extras
for fifteen cents. Pork and beans is
worth eight cents; mutton chops, ten
cents; roast chicken, fifteen cents, and
other articles in proportion. OF course,
eating houses of this description are
patronized only by the lowest class of
working-people, tramps and other prob
lematical characters. The fact that, ac-
corGing to police officials statement,
there are in existence in the business
districts of Chicago over one hundred of
this class of restaurants, each of which
feeds from one to five hundred persons
per day, proves perhaps more conclusive
ly than any thing else that large city
like Chicago harbors at all times ten
thousand men who are either out of
work or belong to the criminal class.
The hash-slingers employed by the pro-
prietors of these resorts are recruited
from their customers, and hence the
casual observer need not be surprised
when he receives a somewhat noisy re-
ception. -.t
Chinese restaurants are something of
novelty in Chicago, and no Caucasian
would care to visit one of them for the
purpose of obtaining meal more than
once. The victuals and delicacies served
