HOW TO MAKE CONCRETE WALLS.

These directions for making concrete
walls, given by an expert, will answer
the inquiry of correspondent and per-
haps prove of benefit to other readers,
says the New York Witness: Erect
scantlings as guide for the boards form
ing the mold for the walls. Select CO.
ment fresh from the kiln, and sharp and
perfectly clean and free from loan. To
one part of the cement add two parts of
sand, and thoroughly mix them dry.
Just before use add water enough to
make thin mortar. Add gravel and
broken stones, and stir them until the
surfaces are thoroughly coated with NOR
tar. Then Immediately place the masses
in boxes or molds on the wall. Or pour
the mortar thickened with gravel into
the molds, and bed the broken stone in
it, being careful not to have them touch
the sides of the box. Do not mix up
more than can be handled at once. The
concrete in the walls will set or harden
in few hours, when the boards can be
raised and another layer put on. The
proportions between the sand and con-
crete should vary with the quality of the
former, from two to five parts of sand to
one of the best of cement. 1t is better
for the stone to be of various sizes. No
permanent framework is needed for the
walls. For wall twelve feet high,
| twelve inches is thick enough.

A Clever Cat.

W. R. Litchfeld, who lives on Church
street, has large feline specimen, hand
some animal with more "savey" than a
dozen ordinary cats. She keeps the
premises cleared of rats, but whenever
her labors in the field are over, she likes
to get into warm corner by the kitchen
fire to mediate, and during stormy
weather the kitchen door is not always
open, SO Mrs. Puss has discovered way
of getting in without disturbing the
family peace. The door of the kitchen
is ''locked with LATCH" of the sort
which is pressed down with the finger on
the outside, and thus bar is raised on
the inside and the door opens. 1t is also
guarded by an outside screen door. The
cat manages to pull open the screen door
little way, and by the means of the
wire screen climbs up to it to level
with the latch. She then gives smart
tap with her paw TO the finger piece of
of the latch, but does not always accom-.
plish her object the first nor even the sec
ond time. However, she perseveres till
the latch yields. In the meantime she
has curved her back SO as to be able to
use all her muscular power, and, giving
forcible "bump" against the door,
gains, an ingress to the kitchen and it:
warmth. Many a time and oft has she
done this, and many times, too, with {
giant rat in her mouth. If that cat doesn't
think, what does she do2 That's the ques-
ton that agitates Mr.. LitchGeld.-Santc

Cannon Made OF Leather.

sLet me give you bit of history
said downtown leather merchant the
other day, "that many student has
overlooked. The objects of peace are
not all that leather figures in, for it is to
leather that we owe the introduction of
light artillery. Leather cannon have
actually been tried on the battlefield,
and, what is more, turned the tide Of
one of the greatest battles Of modern
times. The inventor OF leathern artillery
was a certain Colonel Robert Scott, a
Scotchman in the service of Charles l., of
England.
"He constructed guns of hardened
leather and experimentally tried them.
The result was that they were pronounced
superic- to grns Of brass or iron. But
the Colonel did not live long to enjoy the
greatest triumph of his invention. He
died in 1851. and monument erected to
his memory l have seen in churchyard
in London. This monument represents
him as an armor-clad, fierce-looking man,
wearing heavy mustache and pointed
| beard.
SIN the very year of the Colonel's
death the effectiveness of his leathern
artillery was amply proved on the
memorable field of Leipsic, where,
September z, 1881, Gustavus Adolphus
achieved his splendid victory over the
Imperialists under General lilly. 1t is
said that it was owing to the invention
of Colonel Scott that the victory was OBJ
tanned.
"The guns were found to be so easily
carried that small battery could fly
from one part of the field to another,
and thus artillery be brought to bear
where most needed thing impossible
with the heavy artillery of that period.
Certain it is that leathern artillery was
used in this great battle by Gustavus,
though it is equally certain that the guns
were never used afterward The reason
of that. however, was that the leather
guns having demonstrated the value OF
light artillery, way was discovered OF
making the install guns lighter, and the
greater durability of the latter gave them
/ tine superiority. "-Fraat Leslie's.

wIRE-wonMs AND cuT.woRMs.

The common species of the cut-worm
sewers the stalks of the young corn either
above or just underneath the surface of
the ground; consequently, anything ap-
piled to the seed or put in the hill at the
time of planting would not in any way
interfere with the ravages of this pest.
In England these worms are called "sur-
face.worms," because they work on or
near the surface, and always at night;
hiding during the day near the plants
they have been feeding upon. If hunted
early in the morning they may be readily
found and killed. The different species
of the wire-worm work ON the young
sprouting corn and roots, and if the
seed is well tarred before planting, the
worms are not likely to trouble it. A
half pint of warm pine-tar stirred into a
bushel of corn until every kernel is
lightly coated with it, will not only pre-
vent the crows from pulling it up but
also check the work of the wire-worms.
Wire-worms may be trapped with pieces
of raw potatoes placed near the hills and
lightly covered with earth.-Americaa

THE CULTURE OC CELERY.

Make leyel bed on rich, mellow
soil, fined down by thorough raking.
Have the rows eight or nine inches
apart. Sow the seed rather thinly. After
sowing, pat the bed down with spade
or shovel. This will be enough to
cover the seed. Just as soon as the seed
has sprouted enough to reveal the rows,
commence to hoe lightly between the
rows, and begin to pull out the weeds as
soon as they can be seen. As the plants
advance in growth, shear off the tops.
This ought to be done at least twice be-
fore the time for setting out. This in
duces stocky growth. The time for
setting out in the Northern States may
run from the middle of June to the end
of July, and in the Southern from the
middle of August to the close of Septem-
Der. In the latitude of Chicago, July is
a good month in which to do the trans
planting. Celery requires cool, moist
atmosphere to do its best. Unless it is
made special crop it is always grown as
a second crop after peas, early beets or
onions. Where the land is i'll the
condition it should be for these
crops, no manure need be added.
After the ground has been nicely
prepared, stake out lines on the level
surface three feet apart and set the
plants six inches apart in the rows. If
the weather is dry at the time special
pains must be taken that the roots are
81 al 4Ha 70
set out nothing else need be done for six
or eight weeks except to run the cultlva-
tor down the rows often enough to keep
down weeds, and to use the hoe often
enough between the plants to produce
the same effect. That is, set out your
plants and keep them clean for six OF
eight weeks. About this time it will do
to earth up the plants that they may be
bleached or whitened. In doing this
care must be used not to get the dirt
among the leaves, gather the tops to-
gether and hold them so, while the dirt
is drawn to them by the other hand
The dirt may be got near the plants by
the hoe before beginning the operation.
Many growers now bleach celery by
using small tile placed over the plants.
When wished Tor winter use celery may
be left out of doors till quite severe
freezing weather, as moderate freezing
does not injure it. 1t may be stored fol
winter use in dry earth in boxes or in
cellars if raised in large quantities.
To ship to market, trim off the roots,
then tie in punches about four inches il
diameter and pack in light boxes.-Farm

Another advantage is that the glycerine
may be used with either oil or water. If
it is lacking, water can be used for a
time without harm, Nor will its use
prevent return to glycerine or oil il it
is ever necessary to use the latter.
For the grindstcne, it is time to aban-
don the water-trough. Where the stone
stands in the water it becomes soft, while
the dry side retains its natural hardness.
After little, this results in its getting
''out of round" and then it is almost
impossible to do any satisfactory work.
The trough itself is receptacle for dirt
and the mud from the stone. The water
when grinding is nasty and decided NUS
sance. Discard the trough. Put bracket
OF shelf up over the stone, and upon it
mount a can with a hole in one side at the
bottom. A pine stick in the hole will regu.
late the flow of water, and then the grind
ing can be done with that luxury, Just
water enough and no more. The water
is clean, and comes exactly on the right
spot. When the work is finished, the
can is emptied and the stone Is safe.
Turning the can upside down saves it
from becoming dirt-trap, and it is ready
for business in a moment.
Almost all grindstones in the country
are little out of true. This is taken to
be something that cannot be helped, al
though nearly every one has tradition
that stone may be made true by "grind.
ing it with nail rod" Rods cost money
and do not grind very well. So the
stone is never rounded up. Get piece
of inch gas Or steam-pipe. Fix a good
rest across the face of the stone, parallel
with the axle, and use the end of the gas
pipe as a tool. Traverse the tool from
side to side with rolling motion. II
this is done as soon as the stone shows
any signs of "wabbling" the task of keep
ing it true is not difficult one. The
only precaution needed is to have strong
man at the grindstone crank. II one is
fortunately provided with power, the
task is of course easy. 1t ought to turn
with as little tremble of the edge as {
well-balanced top when "sleeping."-

INTO THE FOREVER.


What may we take unto the vast Forever
That marble door
Admitsno fruit of all our long endeavor,
No faun-wreathed crown We wore.
No garnered lore.
What can we bear beyond the unknown por-
tai.
No gold, no gains
ofall our toiling; in the life immortal
No boarded wealth remains,
Nor guilt, nor stains.
Naked from out the far abyss behind us
We entered here;
No word came with our coming, to remind lis
What wondrous world was near,
No hope, so fear.
Into the silent, starless night before us,
Naked We glide.
No hand has mapped the constellation DER
us
No chart, no guide
No comrade at our side.
Yet fearless toward that midnight black and
hollow.
Our footsteps fare;
The reckoning of Fathers hand we follow
His love alone is there:
No curse no care.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


The cheapest food may not be the most
healthy to feed.
Systematic selling is as necessary as
good production.
Good to nail to the barn door: ''Who
enters here leaves pipe behind"
Have your hogs good dry bed or a
mud hole to sleep in these days?
Did you ever see hog that did not
relish good, sweet slop! Why then feed
sour swill2
Don't keep matches lying round the
barn loose, better have them in an iron
or tin box.
Next week is when you want to take
care of the brood mare that is soon to
foal. Don't overwork her.
1t does not pay to have colts come be-
fore the rough weather of spring is over,
and then not take care of them.
Some people think a farm animal is
like -stamp-no good until
licked. They are sadly mistaken.
The wood with which your silo is built
can he preserved with gas tar and gaso-
line paint; this is cheap and efficient.
The hog is probably the most conven
lent and profitable adjunct to the dairy
But he should not be too close an adjunct.
Set out the fruit trees and plant as ear
ly in the spring as the soil can be worked
into good condition and your other
work on the farm will permit.
When number of calves are kept il
the same pen it will be conducive to the
comfort and profit of all concerned ii
stanchions are provided, and pail for
each calf.
A bit OF fine hay placed in sight of thu
calf will tempt it to eat that rather thar
the bedding. After drinking its milk ,
little meal OF few oats put in the pal
will soon teach it to eat.
Usually cherries and plums should b.
grated first in the spring; the scionS
should be cut at the first opportunity, il
it is not already done. Set the roo
gratis out as soon as possible.
Beets, onions and other root crops are
improved by carefully selecting such root
for seed as we wish to grow, and doing
this for several consecutive years will fl,
the type so that the roots will come true
Cutting of currants and gooseberrie
should be made and set out as soon a
possible. With a little care in selecting
good, vigorous shoots, this is one of tn
quickest and easiest ways of propogat
ing.
A very good plan for setting on
small plants of any kind is to run on
straight burrows the proper distanc
apart, running twice in each furrow il
necessary to secure the proper depth AM
width.
Ice is by no means necessary in making
gilt-edge butter. At least three fourth'
of the best butter in the United States j.
made without ice. Pure cold water only
is used. Yet ice is very desirable, when
it can be obtained at moderate cost.
Old nurserymen do not plant blocks o
apple trees after crop of such trees ha
recently been taken from the field. The,
give the land a rest. Do not plant straw
berries on old strawberry ground, no
raspberries after raspberries, etc.
change is desirable.

THE o1L-sroSE AND eRNDsroSE.

Every farmer needs an oil-stone,
whether he has shop or only box of
tools. Most men who do any wood work
have such stone, but the way in which
it is treated makes it nearly useless. Re
form is easy. Get some glycerine-a
common grade will do-and, if half
pound or pound is bought at a time, it
will not be costly. Its first use will be
to clean off the stone and get rid of all
the gum. When the stone is ready for
use, the glycerine is always to be en-
ployed instead of oil on the stone. TINS
improves the cutting. The glycerine
does not dry up. Even though the
stone be laid away for months, there will
be no hard dirt or gum on the surface.
II dusty. it can be washed off with water.
