THERE is not one crop grown that re-
auires hilling up if it is grown in the

PROFESSOR Storer says that many
farmers in New England have found
that mixtures of bone meal and wood
ashes serve them an excellent purpose
when used as substitutes for barn yard
manure. On good land apply 600 pounds
of bone meal and twenty bushels of un-
leached ashes.
ALL plants and trees consume water
in large quantities. Sir John Lawes
discovered that an acre of barley will
take 1904 tons Of water in two days.
Trees and plants are composed more
largely of water than any other sub
stance. The branch of tree will lose
nine-tenths of its weight by drying.
A GALLON of coal tar costs very little,
but it is very useful to have around the
farm. It makes an excellent grease fol
wooden axles; little of it rubbed on a

fly which lays its eggs in the Sleeps

depots competition Is very strong. and
a premium is often paid on individual
dalries merely to SECURE their milk for
manufacture.
lam personally cognizant of one case
where far larger amount is paid for
the patronage of one dairy than the
manufacturer could secure back again
by making up themilk. In other words,
the dairyman gets his milk manufact-
ured for nothing, and receives q hand
some present besides. This may be an
extreme instance, but il illustrates how
far rivalry and underwriting will carry
some men. There are, however, q class
of manufacturers who are seriously af-
fected by such procedure. Their
means are limited, and their factories
are their sole business dependence.
Cheese and butter-making is their pro-
fession, and their plants are their bread
winners. They cannot afford to make
gifts to neighboring dairymen, in order
to retain their patronage, and so more
wealthy competitors distribute Doodle,
and carry of the spoils. l know of men
this season who must be running their
factories at q loss in consequence of
this unequal contest. They must soon
succumb to the pressure, and seek other
business.
As to the best cheese tools, heat by
steam, boiler, if not an engine, is in
dispensable. Do not use enc big vat,
but rather two of medium capacity. 1
detest these great 600 and TOO gallon
vats. Such mass of milk as they will
hold one cannot make up to advantage.
From 800 to 400 gallons is good capa-
city for cheese vat. Have siphons of
the largest size, so that you can draw
off the whey with great speed, and
secure the advantage of acid develop
ment in dry rather than wet curd.
Many q days make of cheese is spoiled
| by the slow escnpement of whey from
the curd. If you do not use power from
an engine, use q double geared curd
milk mill that will run easily by hand.
| These old balance wheel mills are heavy,
clumsy, and regular man killers when il
comes to crank turning.
| There is quite knack in properly
filing hoop with curd so that it will
yield symmetrical cheese. The curd
should be pressed in firmly with the
hands, not left loose as it falls from the
scoop. This stretches the bandage out
to its full capacity, and the after press
| ure of the screw will not rupture the
cloth skin. The best rind is obtained
by pressing the cheese when the curd il
warm, which is also the time when the
whey should be extracted. Aim by
every possible effort to make uniform
cheese, SO that the product of one da,
cannot be distinguished from the make
of another. This is conclusive evidenc,
of good cheese maker.- George e
! Newell, in American Caltirdtor.

THE DAIRY.
Points on Cheese Making.


On the farm the character of the crops
raised is largely gagged by the efficiency
of the utensils and tools used in their
cultivation. When we regard cheese
making the same rule holds good. To
produce marketable stock at profit to
the manufacturer the plant must be
judiciously and conveniently equipped.
Coming from the West some years
ago, and visiting number of factories
in central New York, was surprised to
find the meagre and primitive equip
ment of many of them. found old
copper boiler watts in use that had seen
service over twenty-five years, and they
were SO patched and soldered and rust
eaten that heat could be generated in
them only with difficulty. Evidence Of
two decades ago still linger in many
cheese factories hereabout, andthe only
way improved utensils creep in is by the
collapse of time worn tools, it having
then reached point of actual neces-
sity. g
Factory owners should possess full
complement Of modern improved cheese
utensils, but in many cases does there
exist encouragement for them to do it?
A man who controls score of factories
can in the face Of the present low prices
for manufacture still CLEAN liberal in
come in the aggregate. With the manu-
factnre who is bis own proprietor and
maker the case is radically different.

The correspondent of the London
Telegraph supplies the latest perspec-
tive of Bismarck: "Let me try to de-
scribe the outward seeming of my illus
trious host, as he strobe firmly along
through the leafy paths and umbrageous
winding ways of Friedrichsruhe Park,
manifestly as sound in wind and limb
as the toughest of his foresters, or the
hardest of his keepers. He wore soft,
broad-brimmed hat, thick, wide nee
kerchief knotted in front, q long, dark,
loose coat buttoned up to the throat,
gray trousers, and strong, double-soled
boots. In his right hand, ungloved, he
carried black stick with q slightly
curved handle, upon which he rarely
leaned while walking on level ground.
His mustache no longer overhangs his
whole mouth, as Of yore, but has been
trimmed comparatively short so as to
show the under lip. He bears himself
in his old martial fashion, with head
erect and shoulders well thrown buck.

him appear somewhat over-bulky about
ten years ago has entirely vanished"

A STUNNING and decidedly sensational
wedding occurred in Odessa the other
day. Marc Pogorezky led his blushing
bride TO the altar. While the Russian
priest. or Pope, as he is called, was
preparing to perform the ceremony,
Marc went out to get drink, saying
that he would return in q few moments.
In his absence, however, q handsome
young stranger approached the bride
and offered himself as q substitute.
She Immediately accepted him, and the
Pope, who was half drunk, never
noticed the change. The ceremony
was performed. Just then Marc reap
peared, refreshed and ready for matri-
mony. But when he found out what
had happened he proceeded at once to
paint the church red. He thrashed the
bridegroom, slapped the bride, knocked
down the father-in-law, and punched
the Pope. He was arrested; but, as the
case involves a question of ecclesiastical
law, it was referred to the Gear, the head
Of the church.

Remarkable Evidence.

Mrs. Blattner, an aged widow lady,
living alone in the suburbs of Frankfort
on-the- Main, Prussia, was murdered early
in May of this year. A travelling tinker
by the name Of Newbrand was arrested
aud charged with the crime, but as the
evidence against him was wholly circtIm-
stantial, the case was dropped Now
comes the strange part of the story. Her
relatives are very rich and offered an i'm
mense reward for the conviction of the
murderer. Hearing of this Munich law
yer named Eberhardt, had the remains
of the old woman disinterred, the eye
taken out and photograph of the retina
made. The picture of the old woman's
last sight on earth was strikingly clear.
1t was a picture of Newbrand holding a
dagger in one hand and Ratchet in the
other. He had gone to sea as sailor,
but will be arrested and tried for the
crime. Il Commercial Advertiser.

Not to Be Blown Out.

Theworld progresses SO fast that it
is hard for some people to keep up with
it, and even young collegian is once
in while left behind. An intercol-
legiate oratorical contest had been held
in Kansas City, according to the Times,
and one of the competitors remained
over night at hotel.
He retired at 10 o'clock--a fact which
certainly speaks we'll for him, and
about midnight the mailman noticed a
peculiar odor, as Of burning cloth. He
notified the night clerk and a police
officer, and the three men at once began
an investigation. They were not very
long in locating the seat Of the trouble
in the young collegian's room. and a
few minutes hammerine brought him
to the door, with request to know what
they wanted.
As soon as the night clerk entered
the room he saw the cause of the alarm
ing odor. The guest had wrapped a
thin towel around the incandescent
electric light glade, the glow light is

scorched. .

this" demanded the clerk.
4The light hurt my eyes, and l
wanted to shade it," explained the
young fellow.

Beautiful Beatrice cenci.

Beatrice Cenci was remarkably beau
tiful girl, born about 1888, and executed
at the age Of sixteen for the crime of
murder. She and young and devoted
step-mother were subjected to atrocious
crueltics by the father and husband.
Pope Clement VIII. was appealed to for
protection, which did not come soon
enough, for the prosecuted ones had the
maa murdered to put an end to his bad
actions. One of the hired assassins made
d confession Of the homicide, duplicating
Beatrice, her step-mother and her two
brothers, as being parties to the crime.
All were tried for murder and all save
the younger brother were sentenced to
death. Beatrice displayed the most
heroic courage and her youth and
becuty were SO great that her execution
caused d thrill Of excitement throughout
Rome. The celebrated painting Of her
by Guido is known as the artists MASTER

preparation OF iruit grourds by under
drainage has never had the attention
given to Il that its merits demand, and
fruit-grovers must fortity themselves
on this point.
In regard to the equipments for spray
ing, quite q number OF pumps and other
apparatus are in the market, and the
announcement is made that the govern
ment has been engaged with the problem
of designing an effective and cheap
portable apparatus for small places an
instrument on which there will be no
patent, and which, therefore, can be
manufactured anywhere. For large or
chards and vineyards casks or reservoirs
of considerable capacity must be em-
ployed, which shall be drawn by
horses.
Spraying both for insects and fungi
will be practiced on q much larger scale
this year than ever before, and the re-
suits will be looked for with great inter-
est. The results of the numerous trials
last year have settled conclusively the
general value of the operation, but un-
doubtedly this years experience will
make clear many points and details upon
which there remain still some obscurity
and doubt.
Fruit culture is evidently now enter
ing upon a new era, and the fruit
grower of the future must be intelligent
and watchful, and prompt to meet any
emergencies in his work, and the re-
wards of his labor will, no doubt, in
crease in comparison with the greater
difficulties encountered. Improved
methods in fruit growing are sure to
give better results Vicks Magazine.

GUILTY men are often shielded by
the extremely technical rulings allow
able under the law. Justice may be
evaded by the finding of a legal flaw
in the form of the accusation, even
though the criminal may be plainly
guilty. This has led certain State legis-
latures to declare an Indictment to be
sufficient which contains a statement
of the acts constituting the offence in
ordinary and concise language and in
such manner as to enable person of
common understanding to know what
is intended" We give two extremely
technical rulings: An indictment
charged that the accused murdered the
deceased with double-barrelled shot
gun loaded with gun-powder and leaden
bullets. The proof showed that the
accused shot his victim to death with q
double-barrelled shotgun under cir
cumstances that made it cold-blooded
murder, and the jury convicted the de-
fendant. But the Supreme Court
quashed the conviction and set the de-
fendant free on the ground that the in
dictment did not inform the defendant
how he used the shotgun to murder
his victim, whether it was used as a
fire-arm or bludgeon, or to frighten
him to death with it." Precedents can
be found to support the decision. In
another ease the defendant was con-
icted of murder by stabbing his victim
to death ~in the left breast" and the
court set the defendant free because the
word "breast" WAS spelled "brest" in
the indictment. The decision puts an
end forever to phonetic spelling and the
disuse of mute letters in Judicial pro-
ceedin0s.

THE ORCHARD.
New Era Of Fruit-Growing.

It cannot be expected in the con-
ditions which now prevail throughout
the country, whereby crops of good fruit
can only be obtained with unremittin2

the relative number of fruit-growers

those who combine intelligence, energy,

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Too Much Shade.

Houses in places otherwise unexcep-
tionable are often SO closely overhnng
with trees as to be in O state of humidity,
by preventing free circulation of air,
and by obstructing free admission of
the sun's rays. Trees growing against
the walls of houses, and shrubs i'll con-
fined places near dwellings,. are injurious
also, as favoring humidity; at proper
distance, on the other hand, trees are
favorable to health. On this ptnciple.
says DR.. James Clark, it may be under
stood how the inhabitants of one hous Q
suffer from rheumatism, headache, dys-
pepsia, nervous affections, and other
consequences of living in o confined,
humid atmosphere, while their nearest
neighbors, whose houses are otherwise
situated, enjoy good health; and even
how one side of large building, fully
exposed to the sun and to a free circu-
lation of air, may be healthy, while the
other side, overlooking damp, shaded
courts or gardens, is unhealthy. Humid,
confined situations, subject to great
alterations Of temperature between day
and night, are the most dangerous of
oil the physical qualities of the air,
and humidity in general is the most in
furious to human life. Dryness, with q
free circulation of air, and full ex-
posure to the sun, are the material things
to be attended to in choosing resi-
dence.-Medicdl Classics.
