GARDEN WORK.
4 few valuable hints are given for
garden work by Dorothy Lincoln in
the May flower. She says:
1t is very essential that the soil about
the roots of plants should be kept mel
low and free from weeds if we would
have healthy vigorous growth, without
which our plants are not very satisfac-
tory. The roots of plants are pinched
and dwarfed 10y hard, dry soil. Never
stir or work clayey or heavy soil when
at all vet. Once working such a soil
under like circumstances may result in
entirely running the plants vou were
trying TO benefit. The soil is IN right
condition to work when it is so drv IT
will crumDle without being sticky and
pasty and not dry enough to give out
dust. When working close around a
plant be careful not TO dig deep
enough to destroy or disturb the roots.
Frequent and thorough STIRRING of the
soil during dry hot weather will Ii a
measure atone for a lack of rain. In
real hot weather we almost ALWAYS have
heavy dews and if the soil is light much
moisture will be absorbed aud the
plants nourished, where if the soil was
baked they might perish. If the soil
is hard and baked, light ram or
shower would lie of more injury than
benefit, for it would not penetrate the
crust and after drying would leave
it harder than before Although an oc-
casional sprlnking is very beneficial to
plants, there is NJ need to think be-
cause it is dry the plants need con-
tinued sprinkling.

A Long Night Reduced.

The long Polar night will be hence.
forth more bearable to the 1000 inhab'
itants of Hammerfest, in Norway, the
n%orthernmost village of Europe. Electric
light hos been introduced into every
house in the hamlet. The power is
brought from three small streams a short
distance from Hammerstein, whose cur
rents are so strong and swift that the
water does not freeze even in winter.
The people OF the town have reason, in.
deed, to be grateful to the inventor Of
the electric light. The long night begins
at Hammerstein en- November IL and
lasts until January %, so that the ar
tifcial illumination will be of service for
sixty-six days. On the other hand, it
will be practically useless and unneces-
sary from May 16 to July rs, during
which time the sun never ceases to shine.
Hammerstein lies in north latitude ~

degrees % minutes, north latitude, the
longest night lasts one month; at SO
degrees, 81 minutes it lasts two months,
and at 70 degrees 40 minutes, three

sGerman
Syrup"

Here is an incident from the South
Mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. "Ia am a farmer, one Of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning oflast
Winter I was on a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss. where I got we'll
drenched in a shower of rain. I
went home and was soon after seized
with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. Iconsulted Dr.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to get bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and I caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. l
got two bottles of German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, I was
entirely clear of the Cough hat had
hung to me so long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. Ifelt tip-top and
have. felt that way ever since"

LEG WEAKNESS IN CHICKENS.

Leg weakness and vertigo are both
usually caused by high feeding with
grain alone. Young chickens especially
should have some animal food with their
grain, and if they are not allowed to run
out where they can get 1t in the form of
insects and worms, they should be fed
some chopped lean meat at least
once q day. In feeding grain
no one kind should be fed
alone, for fowls need q mixture, like
corn, rye, wheat, millet and rice. Change
the food of the chickens, or mix several
kinds together, and to those that are
sick give two or three grains daily of
ammonia citrate of iron dissolved in their
drinking water. But do not neglect to
give some animal food. Get beef or
bee7es' hearts or livers and cook, then
chop up fine and throw it out to your
chickens. A small quantity, say a half
ounce, to each chicken daily will be suf-
fcient.-New York Sun.

RRNoyATING OLD FEATHERS.

The best way to renovate old feathers
Is to put them from the ticks into a bar
rel of hot suds. They should be shaken
out under the water after thoroughly
washing them in two or three barrels OF
suds. Rinse them thoroughly. Spread
them on q clean sheet on the floor in a
small, warm room after wringing them
thoroughly in a cloth to extract all the
moisture that can be taken out in this
way. Leave them over night to dry on
the sheet, then remove them to another
and beat them with a stick, tying a veil
over the face and head to prevent breath
ing the fluff of the feathers that rises.
In a few days the feathers will be fine
and dry. They can also be dried by
putting them in a bag of white mosquito
netting, hanging them in the sun and
turning and beating them occasionally.

FERTILIZERS FOR SMALL FRUITS.

On old and much-worn soils CONNER
cial fertilizers may be employed with
benefit in raising small fruits, but we
would not advise depending upon these
alone, even if stable manure is scarce
and costly. We have neighbors who
pay from three to four dollars per load
for stable manure, and think it cheaper
at that rate than it would be to depend
solely on commercial fertilizers. They
use the latter largely to start their crops
in spring and expect that the stable
manure will carry the plants through
the season. Whatever commercial fer.
tilizers you conclude to use should be
applied on the surface and worked into
the soil with harrow and cultivator, and
not plowed underi in the fall as suggested.
The amount of any kind required per
acre for small fruits will depend largely
upon the character of the soil.-Amsri-
can A~gricuAurist.

PHLOW.SHAMs.

Whoever has wasted valuable moments
in attempting to keep pillow-shams in
their places will appreciate a simple de-
vice which holds them in position and
gives very little trouble in the ad justing.
On the back of the shams, at each of the
upper corners, sew a bit of narrow tape
~diagonally across the corner. When the
shams are put over the pillow, pull a lit
tie corner of the pillow-case up through
this tape-loop. Nothing further Is nee
essary, and the shams will stay in their
places unless some more than ordinary
means disturbs them. This is much
more simple and convenient than the
various bars, frames and riggings to
which many housewives think them
selves compelled to resort.-2e Ledger.

REMOVING STONES FROM LAND,

The amount of labor that can be
afforded in improving land is more a
question of location and its value after
improvement than is often supposed.
Near a large city, land freed from stones
is valued highly for many uses, and the
stones themselves may often be sold for
more than the cost of getting them out
for %foundatio IS of buildings. Where
the stones are not useful for some pur-
pose it makes dear land to dig them out
or sink and bury them if they are very
numerous. The farmer can do this if he
is willing to count his own labor little
or nothing. Not many farmers in these
days arc. thus willing, though it was
common enough when the country was
newer. Yet there is a satisfaction in
removing eyesores, where excessive labor
is not required, that makes it worth
while to do the work, ever though the
land secured be not worth what it cost.
We recently saw q farmer digging out u
rock in the centre of a large field. It
probably cost him at the rate of fully a
thousand dollars an acre for the space

SHEEP.

Perhaps no breed of domestic animals
has been more successfully improved by
judicious selection in breeding than the
Southdown sheep. After fifty years of
careful breeding we have, to-day, "a nearly
perfect mutton and short-wooled breed.
Our modern Southdowns have no horns,
their faces and legs are dark brown; the
forequarters are wide and deep; the back
and the loins are broad, and the RIBS are
beautifully sprung; the headquarters are
square and full, the tail is well-set, and
the legs are comparatively short-with
a fine bone. In short, the breed is almost
a perfect type of ovine symmetry. But
best breeders are still ~endeavoring to
make improvement. The hardness and
sound constitution of the modern South
down are two of the best qualities, and
care must be exercised 80 as not to
breed them out. These enable South.
downs to adapt themselves to almost IN
limited changes of climate, soil and
management. For richness and delicacy
of favor, for julciness and tenderness,
there is no mutton that can equal that of
the Southdowns. Their early maturity
fits them for the shambles at from twelve
to fifteen months, when they weigh
about eighty pounds, and at two years
they weigh from n hundred to one
hundred and twenty pounds. These
sheep are docile and thrive we'll on ar
tifcial pastures and with ordinary treat
ment. The ewes average from six to
eight pounds of wool; yearling rams
eight t twelve pounds. The eve are
good mothers and very prolifc,-aver-
aging, per flock of one hundred ewes,
from one hundred and twenty to n
hundred and thirty lambs. The dense
and compact fleece of southdowns is one
OF the most useful of our woods; short
in staple. fine and curling, with spiral
ends, it is generally used for carding
purposes. Other breeds of sheep crossed
BY the Southdown ram uniformly par
take of the more important characterize
tics of the latter. This is not concen-
trated in either wool, carcass, or form
alone, but in all these characters com
bined.-Ameriean Agrieulturist.

A Cabbage Hunt.

On Clark street, near the end OF Davis
street, the Italian Produce Exchange is
located. It is a general rendezvous for
the hundreds of vegetable farmers, who
90 there every morning with wagon
loads of potatoes, cahbages and other
vegetables. Much of the stock thus de-
posted at the exchange is shipped to
various places along the coast.
But it is appropriate at this ju~ncture
to state that to all intents and purposes
the ''exchange," so far as a storage
building is understood, is a misnomer.
The tons OF produce arriving every
morning are deposited for the most part
on Clark street itself. Every cabbage
is carefully examined. If it contains
the slightest blemish or shows any signs
of decay it is thrown aside. and thus be-
comes public property. By the time the
wagons have cleared away the street is
Uttered with cabbages. Then a scene
akin to that indicated here ensues with
daily regularity. Men, women and
children engage in q sharp competition
to secure the delicious vegetable which
harmonizes so nicely with corned beef.
Such pushing and shouting and scram-
bling as takes place in Clark alley would
battle the pen of the swiftest artist.
Women with streaming hair, red faces
and huge aprons gather up a stock of
vegetables and run off flushed with VIC
tory. Even missing goats, attracted
from the heights of Telegraph Hill,
whisk into the alley and eat their fill of
the charity feast spread before them.
Nor is the penchant for free cabbages
confined alone to the poor of the neigh
borhood. Merchants and capitalists do
not think it a stain Oh their social escut-
cheon to drive into the alleyin their car
riages and leave with a store of cabbages.
They arrive arrayed in broadcloth aud
plug hats; they leave with stained cuffs
and solled hands.
And over the whole scene drab- shirted,
scarfed Italians indolcntly preside, watch
ing the street swept clean of its edible
rubbish.-San Francisco Chronicle.

SOME HINTS ABOUT CLEANING.

We used to dread window washing
worse than any other part of the general
homework. To US it was almost an in
terminable job because in our Ignorance
we took the very hardest way possible.
Two or three years ago we learned an
easy way, and since then have not
groaned in spirit when window cleaning
became necessary. The modus operandi
is this: Wash in soapsuds as hot az can
be used. and wipe neutrality-suspicious.
rlnsing-and wipe with a soft cloth. If
they are then rubbed with q clean, soft
paper they will take on a beautiful pol
ish. Usually more satisfactory results
are obtained if but one pane is washed
at a time, then wiped Immediately while
still warm.
Did you ever try cleaning spots on
the carpet with gasolinef Dampen q
clean cloth in gasoline and give the spots
a good, thorough rubbing and they will
soon disappear, and leave the carpet
perfectly clean.
If 1t be very dirty, n can go over
the entire carpet with the gasoline and
have it as clean as though it had been
washed, and with 80 much less time and
work.-Fdrm, Field and Socknan.

McSWiney's Gun.

Near Horn Head, County Donegal,
Ireland, there is a hole in the rocks called
McSwiney's gun. 1t is on the seacoast
and is said to have connection with q
cavern. When the north winds blows
and the sea Is at half food, the wind and
the waves enter the cavern and send up
jets of water from the 'tgun" to a height
of more than 100 feet. The jets of
water are accompanied by explosions
which may be heard for miles.-&.
