How Postage Stamps are Prepared

AS soon as they emerge from the by;
draulic press, postage stamps ard
gummcd. The paste is made from clear
starch, or rather its dextrine, which is
acted upon chemically and then boiled,
forming g clear, smooth, slightly sweet
mixture. Each sheet Of stamps is taken
separately, placed upon fiat board, and
its edges covered with light metal
frame. Then the paste is smeared on
with large whitewash brush, and the
sheet is laid between two wire racks and
placed on pile with others to dry. Great
paste, which is perfectly harmless. This
gratifying fact has been conclusively
proved by au analysis recently made by
an eminent chemist. After the gum
ming, another pressing in the hydraulic
press follows. Then another counting
in fact, stamps are counted no less than
thirteen times during the process of
manufacture. The sheets are then cut in
half, each portion containing 100 stamps,
this being done by girls with ordinary
hand shears. Next follows the perfora-
ton, which is performed by machinery.
The perforations are first made il per-
pendicular line, and afterward in hori-
zontal line. Another pressing follows,
this time TO get rid of the raised edges
on the back of the stamps raised by the
dies; and this ends the manufacture. A
separate apartment is devoted to the
packing and sending of the stamps tc
different postofiices. 1t will be seen By
this account that any absurd rumor con.
corning the poisonous or unclean proper
ties of postage stamps is utterly without
foundation. - United States Mail.

CULTURE OF BEANS.

Beans need gooi soil AMI cult.
walton to yield large crops, twenty-five
bushels per acre or more. The common
opinion that they will make good crop
on poor soil is quite mistaken. The
mode of culture is as follows: After
good blowing and narrowing, the seed,
one and one-half bushels per acre, is
planted by means Of hand drill or a
double-horse drill, which plants two
rows; the drills are eighteen inches apart
and the seed is dropped about twelve
inches apart. The land is kept clean and
well worked as for any other crop. The
white marrowfat ornavy bean is the most
prolific aud saleable kind. When the
beans are ripe the plants are pulled up
by the roots, the earth being shaken of,
and are stacked up around stakes stuck
in the ground; the plants are arranged
in square stack with roots laid to-
gether at two corners and the beans at
the other corners. This is to prevent
soiling the beans, by which they would
be injured and discolored for sale. Beans
stained in any way are unsaleable. The
top of the stack is covered wian bunch
of straw. When dry the crop is thrasned
with fail; machine will break them
too much. -NeW YORK. Times.

YELLOW LEGGED CHICKENS.

The American preference for yellow
legs and skin, as indicating the quality
of the birds for the table, is based on
nothing more than notion. How the
prejudice originated against birds with
legs other than yellow we do not know,
but we do know that buyers who Judge
of the quality of dressed fowl by the
color of the legs deprive themselves of
the choicest kinds to be had. If legs had
anything to do with quality, the dark
legged birds are superior, as it is only a
matter of chance that such superb table
fowls as the Houdans and Langshans have
yellow legs. One can cut off nice slices
from the breast of "A Houdan or Dorking,
and the flesh is juicy and tender, yet
neither breed has yellow legs. But few
games have yellow legs, yet there is not
yellow legged fowl known that can
approach in the slightest degree to the
game in quality of flesh aud large amount
of choice nett in proportion to offal.
The ''yellow leg notion is one OF the
most foolish with which the American
people are affected, and as long as they
indulge in it they will be supplied accord
ing to their preferences aud be denied
the birds that are better. Farm and Fire

GROWING ONIONS,

Onions, says an Ohio farmer, are a nice
crop to cultivate, but they require
clean cultivation to make the crop a
successful one. The onion ground should
always be of the richest and best. and
thoroughly pulverized, so that it will be
easy and pleasant to work. If com
PEELED to use hard, stiff soil, it should
be broken up in tho fall by plow Or
spade, so as to better get the benefit of
the winters freezing, when even more
than the usual quantity OF well-rotted
manure should be worked into it early
in the spring. Old decomposed hog
manure is specially well adapted to this
crop, also hen manure, which may be
mixed with an equal bulk of soil before
it is applied, and lastly, stable or barn
yard manure. When these have been
thoroughly incorporated add heavy
dressing of wood ashes, which have
proven one of the best preventatives of
worms and other injurious insects. I'm
less a person keeps his onion-bed per-
fectly clean from weeds he had better
raise some other crop, and too much care
cannot be taken to get pure seed from a
trustworthy source. Much care is re-
quired that the small seeds be not COW
'red too deep or sown in lumpy soil.

GEESE.

Generally the best profit from geese is
from the feathers, it is Only in localities
that the raising of the fowls for market
can be made profitable. But with care
in picking them the feathers that can be
secured will give good profit for keep
ing. 1t is best to commence reasonably
early in the spring and then regularly all
during the summer. Much of the
amount of profit that it is possible to
realize will depend upon the care taken
in securing the feathers.
Geese need very little care from the
time grass makes good start to grow in
the spring until cold weather in the fall.
As long as they can secure full supply
of grass very little other feeding will be
necessary. They must have plenty of
water. 1t is not best to let them run
with other poultry. If kept for breeding
three geese for each gander should be
kept.
They will usually lay three times a
year, commencing generally in March
and laying about dozen eggs at each
period.
They will generally make their own
nests. The better plan is to hatch un-
der hen, as geese do not make good
mothers. Like all other young poultry
the better plan is to take pains not to al
low them to run out in the wet, as get
ting the young goslings wet is as bad as
for any other kind of poultry.
They will need about the same feed
and care as the other young poultry.
One advantage with both DUCKS and
geese is that under average conditions
they are both much less liable to disease
than almost any other kind of poultry,
and often this is quite an item.-Aasri-
can Grange Bulletin.

CARE OF COWS.

The skin of COW is as necessary for
the proper publication Of the blood as
lungs are, and it discharges in offensive
vapor greater quantity of matter every
day than the kidneys do. While COW
may discharge twenty pounds of water
through the kidneys she will take into
the stomach one hundred pounds. The
eighty pounds passes off through the skin
chiefly and take along the dead waste
matter which is thrown off from the fine
capillaries through the pores of the skin
with the perspiration. When the milk
has cowy odor you may be sure the
skin is not working right and needs
thorough brushing to remove the scurf
and dried matter which covers up the
pores. And this is the reason why, if
we would have pure milk and sweet
butter, the card and the brush must be
in constant use in the COW stable. Nc

A Tarantula's Nest.

Mr.. Earl, the fruit dealer, while pick
ing bananas from bunch in front of his
fruit store yesterday morning, placed his
hand upoa something which at first
sight he supposed to be mouse, but a
second look convinced him that he had
found the dreaded and poisonous tarau-
lula With cane he attempted to dis
lodge the ugly insect, but dropped the
stick without ceremony when the long
legged spider jumped up toward Ms
hand. The tarantula fought so desper-
ately that Mr.. Earl pushed the stick hur-
rledly into the bananas, breaking open
the trantula's nest.
There were thousands of little insects
in the nest. They were trihc larger
than feas, and in many respects they
closely resemble small red spiders.
When they struck ont and away from
the home nest, there was a scattering
among the crowd that had gathered to
watch the proceedings. Whether these
infant tarantulas have yet developed the
poisonous biting habits of their wicked.
looking parents, small boys and amateur
naturalists in the vicinity are not agreed,
but all agreed that it would be well to
keep a safe distance away from the
spiders
After some further difficulty Mr.. Earl
succeeded in killing the large tarantula
and placing the nest and hundreds OF
the little ones in a glass jar. The nest
is cream colored, about the size of a
small hens egg, and the Young ..aran-
tulas summing themselves in the glass ja=
occupied the attention of passers-by
yesterday afternoon. No one knowe how

time in winter makes this proper wet
weather work, at which all hands, old
and young, will find it more like play
than work, This should be stored in a
wood shed, easy of access from the sum
,ner kitchen. The ashes made during
summer-being mainly from wood
should be stored separate from coal ashes.
They are OF too much value to be mixed
with them. Another source OF ashes
should not be overlooked. In the gen.
eral clearing-up which every well-kept
place requires in early spring, or other
season, there will be a lot of stuff too
moor for tirewood, and only fit to make a
bonfire. Make such bonfire on fiat,
moist place, and keep the burning heap
small, adding the fuel from time to time,
and so manage that the ashes will be left
in compact heap, easily to be taken up
and stored in some out-of-the-way shed.
Remember that ashes will hold fire in
the shape of burning coal for weeks, and
that many mysterious fires are due to no
other "incendiary" than the improper
treatment of ashes. --American Agricut-

BLACK TEETH IN YOUNG PIGS.

Many writer's on diseases of the pig
scout the idea that black teeth is to be
considered disease. We believe, how
ever, that this, in common with most
popular notions among farmers, has some
basis in fact. Hogs often eat food at
greater variation of temperature than any
other farm stock. 1t is changing from
hot to cold drinks and food that most
frequently discolors human teeth and
causes their decay. We do not doubt
that this cause often produces like effects
in old hogs eating alternately of heated
dishwater, swill and frozen corn. Or the
decay may be due to lack of proper nu-
triton of the teeth. In the case of YOUR
young pigs this may possibly be the ex
PLANTATION of what our subscriber has ob-
served. A young SOW fed mainly on
corn may not have enough calcareous
matter in her food to promote prop
erly her own growth and that of her
unborn young The teeth in such cases
would lack firmness and must speedily
decay. Feeding the sow more skim
milk and oatmeal rather than corn will
promote her own healthful growth and
and that of her pigs. The SOW may her.
self be fat, aud yet, from lack of bone
making food in proper proportions, be
unable to produce strong, healthfal pigs.

and one of the pontoons is steamer.
The steamer was built in Camden. Me-
1t is scow forty feet long, twelve wide
and seven deep. There is single shaft
that runs clear through the boat, and has
forty-inch screw propeller on each end.
The shaft is turned By two 9x12 steam
engines. When the draw is to be opened
the Captain of the steam pontoon casts
off the lines, gives toot on the whistle,
and sets the propellers whirling, and
thereupon half the bridge swings round
far enough to let the coming ship pass
through. Then the wheel is reversed
