LIFTING PLANTS FOR WINTER.

Taking up and potting geraniums and
other bedding plants which farmers
wives and other amateurs wish to pre-
serve, should be done, says L. B. Pierce
in the american A9rieulturist, before the
advent of cool, frosty weather, in order
that some root growth can be made be-
fore winter. lAs generally managed, the
work is deferfed.to the latest possible
moment, and then the plants are kept in
hallway or on the porch until the
SHOWS of early November alarm the own
er, and they are taken in. This
treatment gives little or no opportunity
for the plants to make any progress in
their new position. The cold nights and
occasional cold days keep the tempera-
ture of the soil in the pots much lower

POTATO ROT.

The unusually frequent and heavy rains
this season, in large portions of the
country, have been followed, as was
expected, with an extensive prevail
ence of the potato rot. Inquiries are re-
peatedly made, what shall we do about
it2 How can we save what there is leftE
In answer-dig them as soon as practlca-
BILE, provided the soil is dry enough fol
them to come up clean. and without earth
adhering to them. Put them in a cool
place, where moderate air currents may
pass up through them. We have fol
years used cool apartment in a barn,
with q Slated floor next above the base.
ment. The air can pass up from below.
In such an apartment they may be de-
posted three or four feet in thickness. II
the potatoes were clean when placed
there, they have never rotted to any ex.
tent afterward, although nearly one-hali
of portions of the crop had to be rejected
and left in the field when they were
dug.
In the absence of such an apartment,
different substitutes may be adopted.
They may be piled in moderate heaps in
the fields, if stratum of rails and coarse
brush can be provided for the heaps to
rest on, so that the air may pass under
for ventilation. The loose straw with
which they are covered, to exclude SUM-
light, should be about half foot thick,
not more, and be secured from blowing
off by loose brush. They may thus re-
main several weeks.
If dug when the soil is wet and ad-
heres to them, and they are then put in
heaps, without sufficient ventilation, they
will be seen to continue rotting, Of il
placed in cellars or any close apartments.
In large boxes with Slated bottoms,
placed on the north side of barn, and
raised foot or more from the ground,
they may be kept cool and dry till No
vember; and if some earth has adhered
to them, dashing cold water occasionally
on them will tend to kept them cool, and
cleanse them, provided they have enough
ventilation to dry soon.
The preceding simple treatment is
much easier and more practicable than
the use of sulphate of copper for spraying
or otherwise, which, however efficient,
has not been reduced sufficiently to o
practical form for common ADOPTION

WAYS OF BAKING GRAHAM FLOUR.

By this time everybody knows how to
make Graham ''gems" by the usual
method, which is simply to stir the bat
ter just little sitter than griddle cake
batter, and bake quickly in very hot
oven. This thing is certain, the thinner
the batter the hotter must be the oven.
It is also the case that gems mixed with
water require hotter oven than those
mixed with milk. So, if you can not
have very hot oven, either make the
mixture of simple Graham -four and wa
ter quite thick, or mix the flour with
milk.
SKINNED milk is good enough, though
new or creamy milk makes the bread
more "short," of course. Have the gem
pans very hot q set them in the oven be-
fore filling them), and then a scrap of
cloth with the least bit of butter upon it,
rubbed over the irons, will prevent the
gems from sticking.
Housekeepers who have no gem pans
can make very nice warm Graham bread
for breakfast in several ways. Make
dough of -four and sweet milk (skimmed
or creamy, as you prefer or find .conven-
lent, stiff enough to roll out easily.
Knead this little, roll it an inch thick
and cut into diamonds; or cut off strips
and make it into rolls with the hand; or
roll it into balls two inches in diameter,
hattening them little or not all, as you
choose; or roll the dough very thin and
cut it into square crackers, pricking
them well to prevent their putting.
Crackers are best with some cream in the
mixing, and crackers require more
kneading than diamonds and rolls, which
are expected to be soft inside.
ANY of these kinds of bread-dia-
monds, rolls, balls and crackers-are
baked upon the CRATE in the oven, which
should be wiped off clean. They will
not stick to it, and will bake very fast.
recommend the crackers in particu-
lar. All these breads are sweeter and
better, I think (and we all think so at
our house,, without salt, but most peo-
pie prefer salt in the crackers.-Neao

DECORATING WALLS WITH CLOTHES LINES.

A very artistic and ingenious way OF
treating the wall and skirting the door
way, sides and top, is done by means OF
a clothes line, which is stiffened by or
dinarv mucilage or -four paste, bent into
designs required, and left till hardened.
When applied to the wall the bas-relief
effect is very pleasing. A rather more
complicated and difficult decoration of
the same sort is made by working the line
up into the design required, then trust
ing it to color. A silver applied to
pale bay background gives very rich ef-
feet. Rope panels may be made very ef-.
fective by bronzing the rope. A be-
ginner in this work will find unlimited
possibilities for both designs and color
ing.

SPORTING MATTERS.

The New Haven,s Third Straight Game Their Victory Not Due to Any Poor Playing by YMeriden-The Score ts 1 at she End Of she Forty Minuxes-AiI she Polo News.
 When Hill cagsd the ball last night on a pass from Newcomb the spectators, who filled every seat in the rink, burst forth in great applause, for the New Ravens had beaten the Meridens 6 to 5.
 The game was lively one, being tied four times, the last time at the end Of the forty minutes, necessitating four minutes extra playing. The victory was not due to poor playing by the Meridens, as they put up one of their rattling fine games.
 As usual New Haven played in hard luck. Newcomb caging the ball three times, but it would not stay. The home team forced the play from the start. Lampkin played phe- nomenal game, and 50 did Reed, but nearly every one of Meridens goals was lucky one. Connors had on his fast skates and took every rush but two from Cunningham. Phelan did splendidly. Several times did two men swoop down upon him, but he blocked both. Neweomb was applauded for many good plays. He is in excellent condition. Would that other players would run five
 
 Meriden took the first goal by getting past both Hill and Phelan, but New Haven got the next three. The second goal was by clever pass from Hill up the rink to New comb, who passed it to Connors. Next, Hill hit the ball lightly and as it rolled in front of the cage Connors put it in. The foaIth was made on 8 nice pass from Hill to New comb to Connors. Then Connors next caged the ball by kicking it in, but Referee Don nelly did not allow it and called foul on Connors. Newcomb caged the ball twice in quick succession, but the goals did not count. The fifth was taken by Meriden and the sixth also, as Hill tried very foolishly to drive for goal, but. the ball hit Cunning and he passed Phelan in safety.
 This made the score 3 to 3.
 Newcomb's brilliant play. by which he completely fooled Cunning, put New Haven ahead, but minute afterward Swords made the score again tie. Two minutes later the Meridens were again ahead.
 But eight minutes now remained and Hill, seeing that it was probable defeat, left his position to help Connors and Newcomb. They forced the play, and in six minutes Connors tied the score on short drive from the front of the cage.
 Just one minute before the bell was sound ed Newcomb caged the ball. It did not stay in Then the bell sounded and it was either defeat or victory for New Haven. Play be- ing again resumed, Hampton had all he wanted to do, making seven stops to two by Reed Connors, Neweomb and Hill came down on Meriden's defence like 8 whirlwind, and in four minutes Newcomb passed to Hill, who caged the ball from the side.
 The New Ravens did much better team work than the visitors, and they would but for hard luck won by large margin. The score:

Kennedy, who claimed to have been among the seven men who founded the order of the Knight of Labor. created considerable comments in labor eir- cles to-day. The signers of the circular are opponents to General Master Workman Pow derly and their object, it is said, is to lead to the overthrow of the present administra- tion and the return of the order to the prin- ciples on which it was first organized. When MT. Powderly was questioned by 8 reported this afternoon on the matter he said: ''Those who claim to be founders are inst no foun- ders at all.
