Cooking by Electricity.

Charles f. Carpenter, the amateur
electrician, who, succeeding in perfect
ing dog annihilator, claims to have
solved the problem OF electric heating.
He has applied for patents on his idea.
The invention is designed TO permit
the use of electricity for cooking and
heating purposes. The secret of his
invention Is the insulating material he
uses to continue the hel:to the desired
piece of steel. For instance, in frying
griddle cakes the heat is confined TO a
smooth steel surface in the middle of
the griddle and on either side and the
bottom are strips of insulated material
which are not even warm.
In the same manner IL is applied to
the smooth surface OF laundry roller.
instead Of steam. BY means OF a
switch the heat is turned off or on or
regulated. - Minneapolis Journal.

Fall Planting of wberries.

BY this we mean the transplanting
OF runners of the present years growth,
whether it be done in July or October.
BY care and skill it may be done as soon
as the young roots are an inch in length,
or even earlier The rule is. b. Iwever,
that plant is not old enough &c set un-
til it has branched roots; nor is it self
supporting until sometime later For
this reason it is necessary to remove
one or more of the leaves when setting
out very young plants in the summer,
lest more sap be evaporated than the
roots can supply. As the season adj
vances, more roots are developed, and
there is less risk in the operation.
The advantage of potted plants is
that they receive E:tle or no check in
being planted, even il it be done by an
unskiled person. This enables one TO
fruit new variety to perfection in
nine TO ten months after planting.
While one may not get a full crop. he
will usually get more than he other
wise could This is important with
new high-priced varieties.
The disadvantages are that they cost
more, express charges are higher, and
the Larvae of injurious insects, as the
straw berry-root worm, crown borer and
crown girdler. are liable to be carried
in the pots 10 the new plantation. This,
however, can occur only when plants
are layered in the pots in an old bed
where these pests are found.
AS Il rule, potted plants should be
used near where they are produced. so
as to save express charges. IL common
varieties have 10 be sent for, IL is a
good plan TO buy layers and pot them
on arrival. If the roots are too long
they may be shortened. Common lay
err plants ported in two-inch pots, and
put in frame whore they may be
shaded and watered when necessary,
will make good potted plants in from
one to two weeks. This will save
dollar hundred on the first cost, and
nearly all the transportation charges.
We use one-and-a-half and two-iuch
pots, and ship in handled baskets lined
with wax paper and damp moss. The
plants arc laid on their sides in the
pots, with moss between the layers,
and then each layer is covered with
moss and cloth cover sewed on. One
and-a-half-inch pots run thirteen TO a
pound, aud when filled with damp soil
seven to the pound. There is no pro-
lection to the roots of pot plant while
in transit that is nearly as good as the
pot in which it grew. One hundred Of
the smallest sizes weigh about twenty
pounds when packed. Matthew Craw-
ford, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.

sheep which will thrive rs we'll in a
large flock as in n small one. In these
huge bands of sheep vast number die
and vast number are left. and none
receive the attention which common
economy demands. IL may pay in one
sense to have one herder TO attend to
more sheep than two men could prop
erly see TO. but it pays in no other way;
and IL must be remembered that the
item of expenses involved III the wages
of the man who attends the flocks is one
which is either the largest or smallest
in the business, for the profit or loss OF
the flock depends more on him than
upon the man who furnishes the money
and attends TO the financial manage
ment.
In a general way it may be set down
as n fact that TO attempt economy In
the pay OF the man or men who look
after the sheep every day, is to turn
what should be profit into loss, for men
of experience know that the sheep
herder who pretends TO work for the
least pay is generally the most expen-
sive individual that could be engaged.
The sheep raiser Of the present time
seems to think be is beset with an I'M
usual number Of hardships, and so he
has "a great deal To contend with in or
der TO make his business success, but
the har3ships are simply incident TO
the competition and close figuring
of the times.
With careful attention and applica-
ton OF judicious business management,
sheep and wool-growing can be made
to pay as we'll and better than in the
good old times about which men are
too prone TO talk. Practical Farmer.

WHEN A MAN MARRIES.

District.
When man wishes to be married in France
writes Eugene Schuyler in the North american
Rerielo for April he must first go to the Marie
of Che district where one of the parties is DOM
icled and have day appointed on which both
parties with their friends and relatives, can
come for an examination. At this examination
both parties must answer series of questions
with regard to their status, their relationship,
and their intentions. Some of which must be
confirmed by other evidence. They must pre-
sent at the same time their papers, which in
clude copy of the registry of their birth,
certificate of the legal marriage of their par
ents-for the rules are different for the marri-
ages of legitimate and illegitimate children
and the certified and attested consent of the
parents, unless these be present to give their
verbal consent. There is also sometimes re-
CURED evidence to show whether it is necessary
to publish the banns only in the place where
TIE marriage is solemnized. or also in the coun-
try of the foreigner. When the marie is salts
fed on all these points the banns are published
and posted in public place set apart for that
purpose at the Marie for three successive Sun
days. 1t is only after this that day is ap
pointed for the marriage, when the Marie dons
his tri-coored scarf and proceeds to the cele-
bration after the civil form required by the
French law. The register is then signed by
the parties and their witnesses, attested by the
marie, and marriage certificate is given for a
ridiculously small fee.

ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.
MONEY LOST BY DELAY.
Important Information for Sol
diers and Others.

A considerable number of the survivors Of the
Army and Navy who participated in the war of the
rebellion are suffering from wounds, injuries
diseases which had their origin in the line of duty
in the service, and who have failed 10 file a claim
for pension account of said disabilities although
clearly entitled thereto.
Many have, doubt, failed to apply for the rea-
son that the law specifies that in ali such claims
filed after June go 1880, the pension when granted
can commence only from the date when the appli-
cation is filed in the Pension Office, and the amount
received at first payment would, in some cases, be
small.
take pleasure in stating that there are very
good reasons for believing that the law limiting
in such pension cases as were not filed prior
to July l. $780, will be amended; and in consider
ing the subject in the Committee on Invalid PEN
sions, House of Representatives J0th Congress- the
Chairman announced that the Committee was in
favor OF bill granting arrears of pension back to
the date of discharge in such cases where the ap-
pcation is file in the Pension Office at the date
of the passage of the bill.
You must therefore, readily observe the advant-
age TO be gained by person entitled to pension in
placing his claim on file at once. so as TO secure
back pension when the proposed law shall have
been enacted.
1t was not contemplated by the Committee on
Invalid Pensions to give arrears to those whose
claims are not file at the date of the passage of
the act
Ihave at all times steadfastly advocated the pas
sage of bill which will give arrears of pension to
every person who is suffering from wounds, inju-
rieS diseases contracted in the line of duty in the
service no matter when the claim was or is filed /;
but all legislation looking to such comprehensive
measure has so far been unsuccessful and this pro-
posed legislation may be all that can be secured
Another reason why a soldier who is entitled TO a
pension should Immediately file his claim is the
increased difficulty which the claimant will expert
enee as the years pass by in finding officers
rades whose testimony is necessary to establish the
claim Every year adds thousands TO the DEATH
roll and the witnesses who are now alive may
have passed away year hence It is, therefore,
extremely important to have the claim filed and
the testimony secured while it is possible to do so.
Delays are dangerous" and a soldier who has
nrAIrtr
lily great injustice in failing lay the foundation
for their future comfort by neglecting to place his
claim on file.
The pension laws are now being more literally
administered, and many claims heretofore eonsid-
cred as inadmissible being daily allowed
All who believe themselves entitled to pension
should write to me for an opinion, which will be
promptly and cheerfully furnished. No fee is
charged for services in any pension claim unless
the claim shall be allowed, in which event the legal
fee is deducted out of the first payment of pension
made to the pensioner.
