bud. The essential thing is to keep
cuttings entirely fresh till planted by
setting in water, or, what is better,
wrapping them lightly in a moist cloth.
The loss of their sap by evaporation be-
fore or after setting is their death.
Boxes three inches deep, half filled
with sand and light mixture of fibrous
soil or leaf mold, faced off with an inch
of pure sand, make good cutting beds
when number are to be struck, as with
celeus, alternantheras and bedding
plants generally, when one wants plenty
to use and some to give away.
For few cuttings, the best thing is a
six-inch fower-pot, the drain hole
plugged with cork, two inches of
broken bits of crock laid in, and po-
rous pot, half the size or less, set within
the larger one and kept full of water
Between the rims of the two pots, which
should be on level, the space is filled
with sand, in which the cuttings are set
against the outer rim and we'll wet. The
draining from the inside pot of water
keeps the cuttings always moist, and
they hasten to root. Sand is best, being
easy for the tender root threads to en-
ter, and free from decaying particles,
which in soil cause cuttings to rot at
once. But when the first roots are
made known by the freshening Of the
terminal bud or root of the cutting, i'm
mediately pot or change to richer soil
that has food for the plant, or it will
lose strength. Prompt planting must
be given. ;,
Shade all cuttings for the first day or
two, until the first shock Of the change
is over. When danger of tagging is
past give cuttings the stimulus Of light,
shading from hot sun and wind. Seeds
and cuttings never start more delight
fully than under shades of oiled paper
tied over the pot or tackled on the box.
For open ground, frames with oiled cot
ton covers should be used to protect
tender cuttings from changes of tenn
perature.

Crossing Fowls.

The Germantown Telegraph says that
cross-bred fowls are far better and
more hardy from the shell up than the
pure-breds. New blood is always
beneficial We have an example right
in pure stock. If we breed year in and
year out with the same male the off
spring becomes more stunted, and the
constitutions weakened Introducing
new blood stimulates the old, and this
shows itself at once. We tried it. We
mated a number Of Langshan hens with
a cock for number of years, and each
year we noticed a declining vigor
Last fall we took out the old gentleman
and introduced a tine-bred cockerel we
bought in Vermont, and the result is
indeed gratifying. The chicks are re-
markable for their size and activity
And this has been just what we have
experienced in our crosses, only to a
greater degree.
There is another benefit in crosses;
we can combine good trials The brown
Leghorn lays the smallest egg, the black
Spanish the largest. Where merely a
commercial egg trade is to be reached,
this cross has it's marked effects. We
may not equal the Spanish eggs as an
average, but we make up a sort of mid
die size-just the size to sell well in the
market
Another point, and one of which we
have spoken before, we can combine
early maturity with plump growth. The
Asiatic fowl grows slowly, but 1t counts
in weight. ltwould take too long to get
it to broiler if left all alone; but if we
cross quick grower, the Leghorn, for
instance, on these Asiatic hens, we get
the quick growth and the body too.
This is indeed decided advantage.
Farmers, as a rule, have a collection
of all kinds of fowls. Fanciers call them
dunghills Showmen class them as
mongrels. But be they what they will,
more eggs, more spring chickens, and
better health.

The Worlds Wool.

OF SJOO,UUUUUU. IQ6 mum 0F VI Sn00D
in Europe is estimated at 100000,
which furnish 100000 cwt. of wool, of
an estimated value of 936, 100000 Mo-
rocco, Algiers and Tunis grow consid-
cradle quantity, while France produces
81 per cent less than it did forty years
ago. The European countries are
ranked in the following order: ~ Rus
STA, (2) Great Britain, (3) Germany, (4)
France, (5) Austria Hungary, (6) Italy,
(7) Spain. The East Indies and China
produce about 5000, 900 cwt. of wool per
annum.
We may state in this connection that
in 1884 our sheep numbered 81, 626, 626
head, valued atsSl19, 1902, 70f, producing
100000, 900 pounds of wool. Since that
time the sheep Of the country have
steadily decreased, year by year, until
last year we had but AZ, 999, 079 sheep,
producing 265,OO0,O0O pounds of wool.
Our homegrown woods are mostly fine
and medium woods.
Our import woods are mostly clothing,
cOmbing and carpet woods. Our aver
age imports from 1880 to 1889 were:
clothing woods, Is, 3o5, O7o pounds; comb
ing woods, 1864, 1913 pounds; and of car
pet woods, SO, 4S4 ,036 pounds, or an ay-
erage Of SO, 443 300 pounds yearly.
A Substitute for Ice.
A short crop of ice, and in some places
an entire lack of it, has created de-
mand for some creamer to work with
out it especially where the temperature
of we'll and spring water Is rising above
600 Seeing the situation, TreasurernN.
CT. Williams, of the Vermont Farm Ma
chine Company, has made series OF
experiments, two of which are of value
to our readers In the first milk exper-
imented with % per cent. as much water

the contents of the can to 1O2 degrees.

same as in the previous experiment,
which brought it's temperature to 100
degrees It was then submerged in
cold water standing at So degrees, and

the mixed milk showed it to contain
rs of l per cent. and the second but
.16 of per cent. of butter fats between
the milks set at SO degrees and that di-
luted with hot water and submerged at
once in cold water. Of course such
fusing is not recommended except
when ice cannot be procured, when it
is an excellent makeshitt. -NeW England

A Long FasI Ended.

NEW YoRK, Dec. 20.-Giuvavvis
Stucci's fast of forty FIVE days terminated
at s:l5 this evening in the presence of an
audience of 400. The worst attack OF
gastric trouble he had during the fast was
at 5 O'Clock today, during which his pain
was so acute that it was feared he would
collapse. but his indomitable will carried
him through. From that time until s:I5
the pains constantly occurred. his distress
being shown by the contortions of his face
and the nervous movements of his body.
When the cocoa was prepared, shortly
after S O'Clock, Stucci arose from his
lounge and staggered to the table. looking
more like a skeleton than a man. When he
hrst slipped the cocoa there was a burst of
applause from the spectators. 1t was doubt
Jul whether he would be able to retain
the nourishment but the uncertainty soon
passed away and Succi gradually resumed
his former %bunyancy. This morning
Succi weighed I:04f pounds When be-
began his fast he weighed l:47i. During
the fast he drank tweDty-one quarts OF
alkaline water and nine aud a half quarts
OF crotOn water, besides a little of his
elixir, which chemists say contains no
nuurishment Tomorrow AFTERNOON he
will take his first dinner. The fast has
undoubtedly been an honest one.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2O.-The assets of S.
a. Xean & Co., the suspended banking
firm, are growing steadily less as the pro-
ceedlngs in court progress. Cashier
Marine testified further today regarding
affairs in the bank, nothing startling being
adduced. W. j. Mcdonald, at the head
OF the bond department, testified that the
net yearly profit on bonds were about
$4,000. When the bank closed, of
about 1858, 900 worth of bonds in the
vault all but 5000 we're pledged as
collateral.
A number of new cases we're filed TODAY
by persons claiming they we're permitted
to make deposits after the bank was in
solvent. Kean today delivered the
articles OF agreement made two years ago
by which Mrs L. NJ. Culver became
especial partner. This partnership was
subsequently, dissolved. The articles con
tanned this peculiar paragraph: The
business of the firm is to be conducted on
strictly Christian principles and according
TO the teachings OF the bible.'

If we allow our bodily iufrmities to
make away with us through neglect, have
we such an immense moral advantage
over the deliberate suicide? Scarcely.
For example. the deadly progress of
BriRhts disease, diabetes, acute nephItis
and gravel is sure-otten terribly swift in
the catastrophe. Most people Of average
information know that this is the simple.
unyarnished truth in regard to those
widely prevalent maladies. To delay iu-
dicious medication is specially suicidal in
such cases. The means OF restraint is to

A new device which will be of interest
10 dealers in hosiery in the United
States has been recently patented in sew
eral European countries, and an appli-
cation for a patent is on file in the
American patent office. Said device
consists of a combination stocking and
garter, made by running n rubber elastic
band through a welt at the top of the
stocking.
The ends Of the elastic appear outside
of the welt, and may be arranged to
fasten with a button or a fancy clasp
similar TO those used on kid gloves. The
elastic can be drawn and inserted at
will, although the necessity of taking it
out does not yet appear, as it is said that
the best rubber will satisfactorily stand
the washing process. When the elastic
is in its place the general appearance of
the stocking is not changed, as the
fastening, unless metallic, will be of the
same color as the stocking. -Chemnitz

The delicate operation of skin grating
was performed in st. Mary's hospital at
Astoria. The patient was Ole Anderson,
who had his left foot badly crushed at
the jetty. The skin from the ankle down
the side Of the foot for the space of four
or five inches square was torn off and
the flesh left exposed. From the leg Of
Anderson oevelal strips were taken, but
not enough to cover the space necessary.
Another patient offered to lend An
derson a little section of his cuticle. The
offer was accepted and from the patients
arm enough was taken to complete the
