Euthanasia as applied TO criminals and
dogs, saws New York medical Journal, Is
speedily becoming a high science in this
city. 1t being settled that an alternating
3,010-volt current passed from brow to
nucha is pleasurable and faclle mode of
descent to Avernus, the problem of making
feIicitous the last hours of dogs Is taken up.
The way has been to put impounded
logs in crate and submerge
them. The board of health has had coa-
structed an immense air-tight box into
which Illuminating gas can be poured.
Ninety dogs placed in this uox and submit
tel to the gas died within four minutes.
Seventy-elgnt ounces of chloroform killed
twenty dogs in two minutes, but with more
struggling than when the gas was used.
Hunting whales with steamers and can
non is new idea. The harpoon is made
with four umbrelialike ribs which is fired
from a cannon on the ship into the whales
body. Pressure makes it open up and take
a wider and firmer hold and the whale
pulling sets off some nitro-glycerine CON
fined in the cone or front part of the har-
DO w. With all this the whale sometimes
runs for many miles, drawing after it the
ship, often at thu rate of sixteen knots an
hour, and marking lis course with blood.
Two thousand feet OF heavy rope are fast
ened to the harpoon, but this, as indicated,
does not allow sufficient play for this great
monster, which is often 20 to So feet long,
and weighs 100000 pounds Afterward
when the whale is dead or nearly 50, an
iron chain is put around its body aud it is
lowed into the harbor of the fishing COM

Economical Husbands VS.. Economical
Wives.

Did you ever notice the difference between
the economy of the average husband and
wife?
The Florida Agricuiturtst says that
there is flrst-class newspaper or maya
zine in the land but does not, in its home
department, contain some hints for the
housewife relative to carefulness, thrift and
economy in matters of the household. With
so many suggestions, she is supposed to be
posted on how to make title go long
way, dollar to do the duty of two. She
looks out for the odds and ends, the scraps
and bits are utilized in all manner of ways.
What marvels of appetzing dishes does
she make from the ''left-overs," the secrets
of which she prudently keeps to herself, but
secretly rejoices over the good penny she
has saved thereby. How does the news
thrill her when she hears of certain sale in
town, where she can purchase a yard of the
best calico for a nickel! On the lookout for
bargains, that the pennies may be saved,
this shrewd economist is ever ON the alert
finding more positive pleasure in it all than
many another one in a hundred extrava-
gances.
On the contrary, the husband has spasms
OF economy-severe while they last 1t is
hard, he thinks, to be OBJ ICED to use so much
economy but economic he must; so he
courageously stints himself for the time be-
ing, of some favorite ind Ilgence, both for
himself and his family. He suddenly
places a tariff upon a few Injuries, but
raises it the next day as soon as the "blues"
leave him. He has his days of "fee ing
rich.n Perhaps be has sold a piece of
Florida sand. or he has made an unu ,uall y
good investment. Forthwith, under the ex-
hilarating state of his prosperols-fesling
moments, he launces out into some costly
purchase, the price of which woul st his
careful wife months Ct pa lent saving. He
suddenly concludes he can afford an 'excur-
sion" He thoroughly enjoys it too, bat,
oh, those spasms of economy when he re-
turnsi The reaction is indeed hard to bear.
All this is quite discouraging to the careful
wife. She sees ere the great leak is In
the family pocket, but she says to herself:
John is so generous, good and kind, he
thinks he is SO economical, and it d ,es no
good to question it with him anyhow; but
I'll be careful not to send him to market
next time if / can possibly go myself, for
he bought twice as much meat as we needed
and half of it bone, tooln
So the prudent wife wisely refrains from
arguing the matter, and decides that if she
herself did not look after the small expen-
ditures, things would go rather hard with
them. So they would. indeed. Let these
prudent housewives receive all the credit
they deserve.

in her place. The date was kept regarding
the time the last black bee Matched, and
when the first Italian emerged from the
cell. Then the hive was watched, and not
an Italian was seen at the entrance until
the sixth day, while none were noticed on
the wing, marking their location until the
eighth day when, at . p. M, quite few
came out for ''play spell" as it is termed.
Every pleasant day the number of Italians
at these play spells increased, but none
were seen out Of the hive at any other
time until the sixteenth day after the first
Italian Matched. At this time few came
in with pollen and honey. commencing at
about 10 a. m. After this, the number OF
Italian honey gatherers increased, while
the number of blacks decreased. until, on
the forty-fifth day after the last black bee
was hatched, when not black bee was to
be found in or about the hives.
II the above is correct, aud believe it is
it will be seen that the eggs for our honey
gathsrers must be laid by the queen thirty
seven days before our main honey harvest,
if we would get the best result from our
bees, as it takes twenty-one days from the
time the egg is laid to the time the bee
energies from the cell and this, added to
the sixteen, makes the thirty seven days.
To be sure, the bees, from the time they are
three days old, help to perform the labors
in the hive, such as building comb, feeding
the larvae, evaporating nectar, ETC., hence
are of much value toward securing the
crop Of honey, if we have plenty of bees
over seventeen days old; but otherwise all
Matching after the middle of the honey har-
vest is Of little use.

grass and other foods. They improve the
appetite, digestion and condition generally"
He recommends them highly as horse
feed-more preferable than corn. Improves
the coat of hair, and enables the animal to
endure more hardships, etc.
He saws of the vines: GAS fodder, moth
ing can be found richer, better, or more
relished by live stock. Even when thickly
covered with mold, they are readily eaten
by animals. Trey aye full of rich,
starchy, sugary gum and milk, and conse-
quently very difficult to cure-cannot be
dried at ordinary temperatures.
His preferences are for the Brazilian yam
first, southern queen second, as a crop for
stock, considering the yield and quality of
both tubers and vines.
Henry Stewart, in his book, 1.-THE Cul-
ture of Farm Crops says: "Three hun
dred bushels per acre many be grown with
good culture; and for feeding all kinds Of
stock, these tubers are unsurpassed"

Farm and Stock Notes.

When trimming grape vines let them be
cut and trained so as to admit of the air and
sunshine. Too much shade is sometimes
the cause of rot, as it invites moisture
Trim the vines while the weather is cold.
1t is estimated tn 1t for fattening hogs one
bushel of corn is equal to three bu shells of
oats, and that when fed dry shelled corn is
more econo nical than corn meal for hogs,
especially if the cost of grinding is taken
into consideration.
Don't trust to your memory when plant
ing an orchard with several varieties of
fruit, but make diagram and preserve it
for future use. The trees may not bear for
four years, when the location of each va
riety may then be forgotten.
Any soil that will grow fair crop of
corn may be selected for peaches. The same
cultivation is given peaches the first year
that is necessary for corn, which ne ms
that the cutivatOr should be passed over
the ground frequently and the grass kept
down.
A correspondent of an exchange says that
the kicking of horses in the stable indicates
a nervous, restless disposition, and recon-
mends the use of large, roomy stall
which will often change the current of the
animals thought and cause him to drop the
obno xious practice.
Often dairymen are puzzled to know why

the salt, lsays an exchange. While the but

aud it absorbed odors which spoiled the
butter.
When setting out trees never put manure
Of any kind in the hole made to receive the
roots Of the tree. Lay the top soil aside,
and when the tree is in position throw the
top soil on the roots and pack closely, then
filing in with the soil taken lower down.
The only fertilizer necessary the first year
is ashes.
Any young man OF now on a farm who
desires to become afarmer should hire out to
the best farmer he can find and stay two or
three years. He will then get trained for
his work and be paid for his training He
can still further help himself by course of
judicious reading and study during the
winter evenings Such course for a young
man of common sense and energy will fit
him to manage farm wisely and we'll.
The value of the manure is too often

Sweet Potates in the South.

The following article on sweet potatoes
from the Southern Live Stock Journal is
worthy careful persual: Sweet potatoes
in the south, like hay, have never been
properly appreciated. Those who raise
fine mich cows should have hundreds of
bushels Of sweet potatoes banked up in Oc-
tober for cows, hogs, horses and table use
during winter, and also for fowls Our
fowls attack our potato banks and scratch
their level best to get through to the pota-
toes. They eat them raw or cooked greedi
". Mules and horses will attack potato
banks and -dismantle them, and gorge
themselves on sweet potatoes if permitted
to do so; or, when they can do it on the sly.
Boiled and mixed, while hot, with pea meal,
or corn meal or bran, or oatmeal, it will
fatten hogs faster and better than corn.
For some reason Stewart and Armsley,
both, in their excellent works upon feeding
animals, and feedstuffs, wholly ignore the
sweet potato; and in none OF the analyses
given in these works is the sweet potato ins
cluded. 1t would be hard, indeed, to find
in any way standard work Of northern
authorship and valuable facts connected
with the sweet potato, its culture, import
ance as farm crop, and value as food for
man and beast.
The northern people cultivate the sweet
potato but little, comparatively, and the
varieties they do grow would no. be toll
Grated on the tables of most southern farm
ers. and they cook this vegetable in such
way that it Is distasteful to southern people,
who have been accustomed to the methods
of southern cooking.
From an article in the Farmers Book Of
Grasses, by DR.. D. L. Phares, we gleen the
following facts, which we condsnse:
Some varieties contain large amount OF
