A Story of Bismarck.

The following curious bismarck
story" is just now cGrrcnt in political
and social circles in Berlin. 1t will be
remembered that General Won Stosch was
removed from his post as chief of the
German Admiralty after Prince Bismarck
had accused him before the Emperor
William l., OF intriguing with the Radi-
cal Liberal Party against the Chancellor,
of being an intimate friend of the then
Crown Prince Frederick, of speculatlng
upon the old Emperor's death, and of
aspiring to the post of Imperial Chan eel
lor. The charges were pressed By Prince
Bismarck with vindictiveness which to
the general public seemed inexplicable.
Now it is explained that it was due to
superstition. When PRINCE Bismarck,
then plain Count, was at St. Petersburg,
one of several clairvoyants who were then
the rage in the Russian capital told him,
professedly without being aware of his
identity, that he would one day be the
mightiest man IN agreat empire, but would
eventually be supplanted "by man con-
nected with seafaring." Suspecting
General Won Stosch of being his rival,
Bismarck forestalled him, only to be
supplanted by another chief of the Ad-
miralty, General Won Caprivi. Neither
friends nor enemies of Bismarck con-
slider the story Incredible Galignanis
Messenger.

Gunboats for Interior Africa.

The British Government has recently
iutrusted Mcssrs. Yarrow & Co., of Pop
lar, with the construction of two steel
shallow draught steamers to serve as
gunboats, of special design. for the nav
ieation of the Zambesi and Shire. These
boats merit attention, owing to the nov
city of their construction. They are of
the steE1- wheel type, ninety-nine feet in
length by sixteen feet beam, and having
a draught of from eighteen inches to two
feet, and are of about the same tonnage
as the passenger steamers plying between
London Bridge and Chelsea. They will
be shipped in pieces, and put together at
their destination. The most remarkable
feature of Messrs. Yarrow's contract is
thai they have undertaken to put them
together at the mouth of the river and
have them ready for steaming within
twenty-four hours after arrival without
going ashore or having any resource to
the land on either side of the river. At
the same works there arc being built,
side by side with the English boats, six
boats for the Portuguese Government, for
service in the same district. These were
contracted for Immediately after the re-
cent expedition up the Zambesi in three
steamers also built by Messrs. Yarrow, OF
which Major serpa Pinto was in com.
mand. The Portuguese will, therefore,
before long, have small feet, consisting

LAMpwIcKs FOR EMERGENCIES.

Those who live at a distance from town
and its supplies, sometimes find that,
among the multiplicity of wants that
must be attended to during a visit to
"the store" memory has proved treacn-
erous, and wicks-the very things they
cannot do without-have been omitted
from the purchases. When such an event
occurs, resort to your roll of cotton fan
mel remnants. Take for guide the bit
of wick that you know to be of the right
size, cut strip of cotton flannel ten or
twelve inches long and wide enough to
double smoothly into band matching
the guide in width and thickness (three
thicknesses usually, or little more, the
downy side folded in), and run three or
four parallel rows of lengthwise machine
stitching through it. 1t is then readyto
do duty as a substitute till better one
can be obtained, which will be better
only because it may not need trimming
quite so soon. A plain strip of felt from
an old soft hat will do for the same pur-
pose, but is not nearly as good as the
cotton flannel.
A thoughtful housekeeper. who tries to
be prepared for all emergencies, hearing
of this, sat down at her machine, with
roll of pieces and wicks of three sizes,
and in q short time had an assortment of
nice homemade wicks, of lengths vary
ing from six to twelve inches-just as the
pieces happened to come-some stitched
with white and some with red. She
soaked them in strong salt and water,
dried them, and slowed them in an empty
cocoa can, labeled "lamwicks," which
she placed on shelf by the side of the
lamp filler, saying, energetically: "There!
Forgotten Ilampwicks will not send us
borrowing again. ."-American Agricultu-
rist.

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
CARE FOR THE CALVES.

Every calf pasture should be provided
with shed closed on three sides as a
place of retreat from chilling wind, pelt-
ing rain or burning sun, and constant
supply of fresh water. Calves always
pay for such comforts in increased growth
and general thriftincss. Other things
being equal, the gentler the calf, the
more rapid its growth, and the more
comfortable and cortcntcd the calf, the
gentler it is likely to be, especially if it
associates its comforts with its keeper. A
gentle keeper makes gentle calf; a
gentle calf a gentle COW. Quite young
calves will learn to nibblc shelled oats
and hay, if handful of each is placed
within easy reach. Tie the hay with a
cord and hang it where the calf can pull
at it without getting it under foot. Put
the oats in shallow, wide box. Re-
member that variety il food stimulates
the appetite and digestion, health and
growth following. At regular feeding
time every calf should have its own feed
ing place, and care should be taken that
the stronger do not crowd out the weak.
For this purpose some sort of fastening
should be provided, either stanchions or
halters. .-Jersey Bulletin.

FEEDING FOR BUTTER.

One by one the scientific authorities
are helping to put quietus on the mis-
leading and injurious statement that the
proportion of butter in milk can not be
Increased by feeding. 1t is strange that
such a heresy should have obtained cur
rency among those to whom dairymen
look for instruction. The writer, led by
long experience to differ from the prev
alent belief, has singly fought the error
and has sustained the opposition to it
alone for some years past. And now the
professors are coming to the rescue, one
BY one, and already powerful influence
flor the good of dairymen is exerted to
encourage them to feed skillfully for in
creasing the fat solids IN the milk. First,
the Wisconsin Experiment Station, in q
bulletin, declared that by suitable feed
ing the proportion of butter fats in milk
may be increased; then Professor Phelps,
of the Connecticut Station, and now Pro-
fessor Caldwell, of the New York Station,
follow in making the same statement.

COOKING q TOUGH Hen.

". M. Williams, who wrote the Chem
istry of Cookery in the Popular Science
Monthly some time ago, related an inter-
esting experience in cooking an old hen.
His specimen was six years old, but in
good condition. He had her stewed very
gently for four hours, then left in the
water to cool; the next day the hen was
roasted in an oven and "the result" he
says, "was excellent; as tender as full
grown chicken roasted in the ordinary
way, and of quite equal favor, in spite
of the very good broth obtained by the
preliminary stewlng." Probably with
more careful attention to the effects and
methods of cooking meats, much poultry,
beef, etc., might be made eatable and
palatable that is now commonly regarded
as hopelessly tough and useless.

WATER FOR FOWLS.

Did you ever notice how often hen
will 20 to avessel of water to get drink,
if it be convenient, in course of an hour?
If you put q fresh lot of water before
fowls, did you ever watch the eagerness
manifested to get there frsts When
such need of drink is so plainly seen,
does it not seem a cruel thing to let
hours, days or even weeks pass without
furnishing the necessary supply2 1t is
stated that three-fourths of the compost
ton of the egg is water. When the hen
is not conveniently supplied with the
necessary article do you suppose she can
derive enough moisture from what she
can gather about the yard to manufacture
an egg every day, or even every other
day2 All who are interested in the COM
fort and welfare of the creatures around
them will do what they can to alleviate
the suffering that may result from thirst.
Those who have not the time to supply
fresh water every day or two can con-
struct a fountain in some shaded place
which will furnish q supply until the
water is exhausted. Take ten-gallon
keg with a small auger so that row of
them may be close to the bottom. Con-
struct cover to this, the rim of which
may be an inch and half larger in
diameter than the head of the keg, and
deep enough to cover the holes. Fill the
keg with water from the perforated end,
place the water-tight cover on it, invert
it. and the water will rise in the extra
width of the cover until the holes arc
covered, and there it will stand, three
quarter inch trough all around the keg,
fountain which will keep fresh in the
shade, and into which the fowls cannot
step, and thus befoul the water with
their feet.-Dakot0 Fdrmer.

HOME MADE CHEESE.

y The first requisite is good ~m.lE, ;fhu
that presupposes good feed for the COWS.
If there are wild onions or other weeds
that favor the milk unpleasautly it is un-
fitted for cheese. Everything used about
cheese making should be clean and fresh.
The best rennet I have used is Chr.
Hansen's rennet tablets. No. 2 is the
mos. convenient size where there is only
q small amount of milk. If you are not
convenient to some city it will be best to
send to some reliable firm for these.
Country dealers are apt to ask too much.
A druggist asked me $1.50 for a box Of
fifty last summer. The regular price is
fifty cents.
A dairy thermometer is quite neces.
sary, and a wooden or tin or zinc hoop.
The size should correspond to the
amount of milk you expect to use daily.
Eight inches in height and diameter will
be large enough for sevcnty-tive to 100
pounds of milk. If there is not milk
enough in one milking to make the
cheese the size you wish, the nights
milk can be set away and warmed with
the mornings milk. 1t should be heated
to ABOUT eighty-6ve degrees. One No.
2 rennet tablet dissolved in a tcacupful
of cold water will coagulatc 100
pounds of milk in less than an hour, if
the milk is Of the average
quality. When it is curdlcd cut
with knife in small chunks that the
whey will separate readily. suppose you
can buy watts from which you can drain
the whey conveniently and presses that
are more costly and handy than those we
use on Kansas farms. But as only made
Hheese for home use and with as little
Sexpense as possible, I will own that I
dipped the curds into clean 6our-sack
and hung it.in cool place till we'll
drained, then put q clean cheese cloth
into the hoop and the curd we'll incased
in'that; then covered with board that
Just fitted the hoop, and placed jar that
also fitted the hoop on the board and
filed the jar with stone and fat-irons,
etc. about 100 pounds to each ten pounds
of cheese-not all put on at once, but
added gradually during the first half day,
with care to keep the cheese straight.
After twenty-four hours the cheese
should be turned the other side up and
again pressed. When taken from the
press it should be kept in cool, dry
place and turned over every day.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
MAKING CROWS WINGS USEFUL.

Odd and pretty card racks can be
made of crow, blue jay and partridge
wings. Cut the wing at its second joint
from the body of the bird. Spread it
wide apart, or as you wish the wing
when dry, and tack upon thin board
until thoroughly dried. Mount and join
the wings on an invisible bit of card
board, and finish with knot of fine
ribbon at the centre of the base. A pair
of glossy crow wings that recently
mounted in this way measure thirty in
ches from tip to tip, and the widespread,
glittering wings of a beautiful blue
heron, that one OF the men shot in the
swamp, must have measured nearly twice
as much.-American Agriculturist.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES..

Clean, careful culture compensates.
Feed hellebore to the currant worms.
Bad farm hands contaminate children.
Grow something to show at the fair.
If the soil is dry, cover seeds deeper
than when it is moist.
Never forget that pigs in clover enjoy
themselves and grow.
Large growing trees should not be
planted in small yards.
A well-fed sucking pig is worth two OF
three half-starvcd runts.
The old rule is to plant corn when the
apple tree is in blossom.
A wise farmer learns from his mistakes
as we'll as from his successes.
Look over last years bean poles, and
if you need more get them ready.
Having begun fruit growing, stick to
it. 1t is not business to be picked up
one day and dropped the next.
Constant nagging wears away the
spirit of the best farm team, precisely as
it wears out the F,tience of men and
women subjected to its painful infu-
ence.
Do not dose yourself or your stock
with medicine for every little i'll. Diet
and rest. Sleep, and moderately empty
stomach are the best medicines in the
world.
"We churned sweet cream two hundred
times and sour cream the same number,
as an experiment, and failed to find any
regular difference in yield of butter" says
the american Dairyman.
Fruit trees, pear trees particularly,
should grow rapidly when young, and
not bear much, in order to attain size
and bear heavy crops through long
lives. Early bearing dwarfs and weak
| ems.
"Buy the Best and Breed Better" is the
heading of an editorial in the Jersey
Bulletin. 1t is axlomatic and good
enough for motto, without comment.
The man who obeys the injunction can
not fail to succeed.
The borers or grubs may be kept out
of peach trees by washing the bark with
lime wash in which few drops of car
bolic acid are mixed. This should be
applied at once and renewed if it is worn
off by the weather until July or August
Mercurial ointment is poisonous, and
it is the cause of the slabbering or saliva
tion Of the cow. 1t is not the best
remedy for lice, either, as mixture o
equal parts of sweet oil or linsced oil will
kerosene is more effective and is per
fectly safe.
The handspring of farming is the seed
1t is more important to secure good seed
than to prepare for its reception IN tn
soil. The failure of seed to germinatt
may cost the farmer the loss of an entire
crop. The seed is something that tn
farmer should carefully examine now.
Every farmer should raise pigs ant
cure his own bacon. There is no mea
equal to that produced at home. Yo'
will at least know what you are eat
ing" which is valuable point in favo
of home raised meat, as only healthy
thrifty stock will be used for home sup
ply.
A prominent poultryman in the Eas
says: "My poultry pay all my famii.
and farm expenses. l take as much care
of my chickens as some people do o
their children. In winter keep fire il
their home quarters, and they lay ever.
day in the year. I had rather have hen
than cows for urofit.m -
