A Historical Bell.

At Lumpkin, Ca, is a church bell

THE HOUSEHOLD,
Making "a Bed.

A smooth, clean, we'll made bed is an
attractive sight to most people, and all
good housewives take pride in seeing
that this work is done as we'll as pos
sible. No matter how poor or cheap the
furniture of a chamber may be, if the
bed is clean and smoothly made, it will
go great way toward making the room
attractive. No room looks we'll, even
hough the furniture be of the richest,
with an ll-made bed in it. It doesn't
take any more time to make bed neatly
than it does to do the work carelessly.
Some women are satisfied if the outside
coverlet is put on nice and smooth, and
give very little thought to the rest,
throwing the inside covers on any way,
thinking that the outside spread will
cover the deficiency. 1t is impossible to
have the top coverlet smooth when the
inside clothes are put on carelessly, for
there are sure to be hills and hollows in
some part Of the bed. It doesn't take
housewife of much experience to see at
glance that the spread on the outside
of the bed is used as cover for a good
deal of shiftless work. No woman likes
to be thought shiftless in her house
work, and usually when bed is made
in this way it is owing to being in
hurry to finish up the work. Sometimes,

THE FORESTER,
Growing Nut-Bearing Trees.

Secretary Smith, of the Minnesota
State Forestry Association, answerin g
inquiries relating to the planting and
and growing of NUT bearing trees, writes
as follows to the Orange Judd Farmer:
When forest tree nuts fail to grow it
is because they were injured in drying,
heating, or molding before planting, or
were planted too deep. It is we'll
known fact that mot only nuts, but
many tree seeds, if covered deeply with
earth, leaves, wood, or anything else,
Will remain for years in a dormant state,
retaining their vitality, and when ex-
posed to the necessary heat, air, and
moisture, will sprout and grow; while
some are SO easily injured by moisture
or drying that they require very careful
handling or they lose their vitality and
fail to grow under any conditions.
Acorns are most frequently injured by
first sprouting and then drying. They
should be gathered as soon as they fall
from the tree, kept cool and dry-that
is, not exposed to rain, or stored in q
damp place-neither should they be
dried SO much as to shrivel OR shrink.
Ordinarily gathered in October, they

days until late in Nov ember, when they
may be packed away in dirt for the win
ter, as it will then be too cool for them
to sprout Freezing does not injure
them.
They should be planted one and a
half to two inches deep, as early in the
spring as the ground can be worked.
They may be planted where they are to
remain or in seed beds. If in the latter
they should have the tap roots, cut in
August and transplanted to nursery
rows the following spring. The same
general principles apply to the handling
of all the nuts. Keep them cool, neither
too dry nor too wet, until cool weather
sets in, then pack away in garden soil
until early spring; plant only deep
enough to insure constant moisture;
have the soil loose and warm and few
nuts of any kind fail.

provement effected.
There is, as it seems to us, the great
est necessity for treating all breeding
stock more naturally than has recently
been the case. The young should be
reared in the open air, and the mature
should be compelled to face the wind,
sun and plain diet. The whole tone of
modern life is to aim at dispensing with
discomfort. Now, to have to shift, and
to pinch, and to endure is part of ma
lures demands before she comedies
vigor. Of course, there is limit be-
You'd which hardship may lot be pushed.
But English practice with choice cattle
(and other things besides choice cattle)
has stopped long way within the
limit. It is because country children
have to face winter cold and plain diet
that they grow up healthier than towns
folk. And Scotch Short horns are Just
now in greater favor with some, not be-
cause the blood is better, or the SYM

nature, and the invigorating influences
of having to take care of their own
calves and Of themselves.

to be sure, this may be excna able owing
to the housewife being crowded with
work, but generally, if something must
be sighted, let it be anything but the
bed.
In tho irst place, if there are springs
on the bad these should be covered with
some stout, unbleached cotton to pre-
vent their rusting or wearing the mat
tress. This may be removed at any time,
washed and replaced on the springs. It
should be made in the form of large
sheet, to cover all the springs, and
fastened at the sides and top of the
bedstead. The mattress should be
turned frequently SO that the wear Of
the springs may not come all on one
side. Ii there are two mattresses change
them about often, SO that one may not
become hard and lumpy from being al
ways at the bottom. It is good plan
when making the bed to turn the mat
tress over from side to side one time,
and from head to foot the next, so that
it will wear even.
Before leaving the room in the morn
ing take all the coverings from the bed,
shake out each one and put them on
chairs near the windows to air. Remove
the pillows in the same way, and if there
is feather bed shake it up we'll. bat do
not turn; open the window, go out and
close the door, and let air an hour at the
least. Do not, as many do, put the bed
clothing out on the window sill; it
doesn't look nice, and will not air as
we'll as though placed on the chairs.
Never put a feather-b bed at window to
air, for it will not air as we'll in any way
as though left on the bedstead. If the
hnd 10 41o% ~
shines on it, move it from the window
is On that part of the house, for never
on any account should feather bed be
put in the sun. The sun draws the oil
out of the feathers, making them
soggy, SO that they mat together. A bed
put out in the sun will soon lose any
lightness it may possess, and become
hard and lumpy. Go into the room
once or twice while it is airing, and
turn the covering SO that every part of it
may get the air.
When ready to make the bed, turn
over the feather-bed, afterward work
ing the feathers back and forth, up and
down, until the bed is even. Now
smooth all over with the hand. IF the
bolster has not a case, for some women
do not think it necessary, place it at the
head of the bed, but if encased it does
not need to go on until after the first
sheet. Put on the under sheet, with the
deep hem at head, right side up, tuck
all around smoothly under the mattress.
Put on the upper sheet, deep hem at
top, wrong side up, SO that when turned
down at the top the right side of the
hem will be seen. Put on the blankets
if double with open end at top. The
quilts and conf orters put on next, and
last of all the spread. Tuck all the
coverings in neatly around the bed,
smooth the top of the bed with the hand
until it is level, turn down the top
both sides, shake and smooth the pill
lows, put them on, and the task is COM
pleted.

it when once it becomes established in

sporadic will not be denied by an in
telligent observer of it's inception and
progress. That it IS due to local an d
preventable influences is, I think,
equally true. That it can be eradicated
by removal Of the cause, and not other
wise, as fully believe. Not all exposed
fowls take the disease, and not all at
tacks are fatal. There are numberless
cases of recovery, apparently due to in
d1v1dual treatment Or change of food;
but that they are really the result of su Oh

enced, though many thousand fowls are
huddled upon the same grounds every
year. I believe NO other preventive is
necessary except to keep the droppings
covered with dry earth. The saving in
manure generally wasted by lack of pro-
lection from the air, will more than pay
this expense. High perches also con-
tribute to the safety of the fowls, pro-
noting more rapid diffusion of the
harmful gases produced by respiration
and exhaled by the excrements dropped
during the night. The instinct of the
fowl to roost high and sound practice
are in entire harmon in this respect.

Fruits and vegetables should be eaten
in abundance, rich candies and cake
avoided; pie never should be touched,

THE STOCK RANCH.


In commenting on the low prices OBJ
tanned for high bred herd of Short
horns, the London Live Stock JorunaI
speaks strongly against the pamperiEg
methods by which many of the highest
bred herds in England have lost the
rate of increase, the early maturity, and
the great milking characteristics of the
former Short horns, in the following
manner:
We believe the chief reason of this
loss is the confinement (the rabbit hutch
treatment) in which the costlier herds
of Short horns have been reared in En-
gland for many generations. The calls
rarely see the sun earlier than their
second summer. The bulls are kept
closely mewed up; and even the COWS
and heifers get far less exercise, and in
each year inhale the vigor- giving
breezes for far shorter periods than is
desirable for their own good. We are
fortified in this opinion by the curious
"bolt"-we can call it by no other name
that is now being made in so many
herds to secure q cross with Scotch
bred Short horn bull. We do not in
the least object to this innovation upon
the established practice; having for
many years, ventured to point out what
very excellent butchers beasts those
North country Short horns were. But,
if the produce of the Scotch bulls are
going to be treated as. nine out Of ten
Short horn breeders have of late been
treating their young stock, it is to be
feared that there Will be more lost than
gained by the introduction Of Scotch
sires. The Scotch Short horns are only
better in that more natural method of
rearing and feeding has retained among
them some of the old Teeswater charac-
teristics when fashionable English
Short horns have been so managed as
to lose. If one is to go on treating the
calves by Scotch Short horn bulls as
those by English bulls have of late been
