Biggest Depot in the World.

Contemporaneou with the reconstruc-
ton of Broadway, New York City, Is
the erection on that ancient Indian trail
and modern highway of civilization the
largest and finest railroad depot in the
world. 1t will occupy the west side Of
Broadway between Thirty-seventh and
Thirty ninth streets, and will extend
back across Seventh avenue TO Eighth
avenue, being 400 feet frontage on
Broadway and 1900 feet deep, and so ar
ranged as not to obstruct any thorough
fare, as the floor of the depot will be
twenty feet above the street. On Broad
way the building will be seven stories
high for Office accommodation. This
gigantic depot is intended to accommo-
date the New York and New Jersey
Bridge Company, which is about to build
an eight-track bridge across the Hudson.
Recent circulations show that 750 pas.
senger trains will cross the river by the
bridge at Seventy.frst street dtiriug
twenty-four hours, which is more than
thirty trains an hour. The New Jersey
promoters of the scheme will unite with
the New York corporation, and as the
needed 81, 900, 900 in cash has been pro.
vided the actual work OF construction
will begin in the fall. The four blocks
in question are mainly occupied by
cheap structures of past era.-Phild

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Tarred paper makes a good lining for
the poultry house.
If the floor of the poultry house is
damp sprinkling with air-slaked lime
will be beneficial.
Three kinds of food are essential to
poultry, grain, green food and animal
food of some kind.
Ground bone makes excellent grit, as
it is hard and sharp and just the article
for growing chickens.
Young poultry, if they are kept grow
ing, need more feed in proportion to
their size than those that are matured.
Stir the soil about young trees. 1t
should not bake nor should weeds and
grass grow in it. Don't work it too
deeply.
1t Is natural for good COW to consume
a great deal of food. So high feeding
within judicious limits does not hurt the
COW if the food is of the right sort.
There never was hand clean enough
yet to be used in working butter. The
hand does not improve the butter even
if it is mothers, wife's or sisters hand.
Since the introduction of the English
Minorca fowls in America they have
undergone a change which is an improve
ment, that is, the reduction in the size
of their combs.
A hen should produce a profit of at
least 81 per year over and above her cost
of keeping. If your ledger fails to show
gain, a screw is loose somewhere;
tighten it up quickly.
Strawberry plants which have over
fruited heavily should not be used for
propagation, either for home beds or fol
market, as their vitality is decreased,
and speedy degeneracy will result.
A new use for the strawberry is in
making sod on terraces and declvitie'
likely to wash. Set one foot apart each
way they soon mat the ground, furnish
one crop of fruit, and are easily run out
by grass seed sown among them.
When good rams can be had for q
fraction OF their value there is no excuse
for breeding from poor ram. The mar
who, in the selection of a ram, con-
siders no question but of first cost will
never make much of a mark as a breeder
Do not be afraid TO plant more peas
for late supply. If the fall ll-growiug
varieties aIe used it will do but little in
jury if they fall over. Do not be deferred
from planting because Of the difficulty in
providing supports, as they may b.
omitted.
There is loss in keeping a chick unit
it weighs four pounds and sells for ter
cents a pound; when it could have beer
sold for fifteen cents a pound wheI
weighing two pounds; the loss is due Il
extra feed and care, probable loss frou
disease aud other causes.
{ II for the last fifty years feeding an,
breeding had been universally carried ol
upon scientific principles, it is impossi
bic even to guess how much more on
{ farmers would be worth to-day thai
they are. This fact should be a suffcieD
hiut to breed up and feed up.

SECURING THE HAY CROP.

Notwithstanding the use OF the scythe
has been SO greatly superseded by ma
chimes and horse power, writes an Indi-
ana farmer, believe securing the hay
crop is the hardest and most fatiguing
work that is done on the farm. OF
course, the warmer the day the faster the
hay will cure, but this only makes the
work the harder. The liability to thun-
der showers at this season is a source of
continual anxiety when one has large
amount of grass down and half cured in
which condition a wetting means a large
decrease in its value. On days when
showery conditions prevail no more
should be cut at time than can DE put
into cock and covered with hay caps if
not sufficiently cured to go into the
barn. Often the grass has become so
ripe it will not do to defer cutting until
there comes a spell of settled weather.
In such cases it is usually best to start
the mower Immediately after the show
er, and put into cock before another
comes up, or late toward evening, when
rain in the night will injure it but little
if well spread out and attended to the
next fornoon. OF course this all means
hard work, but then making hay be-
tween showers always means hard work.
Water is always drunk in large quanti-
ties by harvesters, and have found that
by stirring handful or two of oat flakes
into pailful it not only makes it ex-
ceedingly palatable, but 1 believe there
is less danger from drinking all you
want.-NeW York World.

STACKING sHEAvEs.

have stacked much grain in my day,
says Galen Wilson, and none of it be-
came wet in the stack. Begin by setting
two bundles on end, leaning together at
an angle of about twenty degrees, then
continue around and around until the
stack-bottom is large enough. The
centre sheaves should be dressed in as
closely together as possible. AS tho
circle enlarges each succeeding course
should be given little more slant, so
that when the last course is laid it will
have but slight slant. The stack-bot-
tom is then highest in the middle. This
rule is followed until the stack is finished.
AS the laying proceeds from the centre
the sheaves should be laid less closely in
a diminishing degree, so that the stack
will settle least in the centre. After the
fist course the stacker should be on his
Knees and press down every sheaf.
When the foundation is about SIX feet
high the outside tiers of sheayes must
be laid to project little over the ones
Immediately beneath, to give the stack
the proper bulge, that the water may be
conveyed away from the base. The
outer courses when being 'laid out, "
must be secured or some may slide when
considerable weight presses upon them.
Grasp each sheaf with both hands,
raise the heads-end almost perpendicular
and "chuck' the butt end into the butt
of the one beneath, then lower and push
out to place; the ends of some of The
straws, catching into the sheaf beneath
hold it from sliding out. l continue
this practice when "drawing in" to stop
out" A good man is needed to pitch
from the wagon to the one on the stack
who pitches to the stacker. The sheavei
should be thrown within reach of the
latter, who has to move around as thu
stacker does. The wagon should not b,
unloaded from the same side of the stack
twice in succession. The pitching-ol
should be done all around, TO prevent
packing down the sheaves more in on,
place than another. The stack pitche
should not stand in one place longer thar
two minutes, but keep moving in differ
cut circles about the centre. His place
is never nearer than six OF eight feet t,
the edge of the stack. Keep the centr
full, keep it pressed solid and even, an,
then the stack will settle squarely
Stacked thus, sheayes will turn water a
readily as a ducks back. For a stack 0
twenty-five feet diameter the centr
should be kept four feet higher than tn,
outer edge. York Tribune.

FArTEN TIE FOWLS.

Never send fowl to market unless it
is in as fat condition as possible. If a
fowl will take on an extra pound OF
flesh, it will pay to feed it well until it
reaches that stage. The reason is that
there is not only gain in weight, but
price. If six-pound fowl, not in a
choice condition, will bring ten cents
per pound in the market, the extra
pound may cause the fowl to sell for
twelve cents per pound, being a gain of
thirty-four cents for the whole, due to
both increase of weight and better quail
ity, while the food required for pro-
ducing the extra pound may not cost six
cents. Quality is prime factor in the
market poultry. y.-Fdrm and Fireside.

ing sauces and salads, possessing a pc
cuiarly fine flavor. They orc so much
priced by French cooks that they inva-
riably are found in the French garden
of herbs. Shallot sets can be procured
from our seedsmen at about twenty-five
cents quart. This is not one of the
oldest vegetables in Continental gar
Gens. Its name Of escalot, now short
ened to shallot, indicates its origin. It
was first brought to Europe from Asca-
Ion, in the Holy Land, by the Crusaders.
That delicious sauce, sauce tartare, owes
its chief excellence to the shallot. For
this sauce, beat the yolks of two raw
eggs. Just enough to break them, aud
add gradually drop by drop gill of
sweet. olive oil. BY this time the sauce
should be as thick as creamed butter.
Then add more rapidly another gill of
oil, then three tablespoons of strong tar
ragon vinegar, if you have 1t, or good
vinegar of any kind, and continue beat
ing. Add level salt-spoon of pepper,
a level teaspoon of salt, and the same
amount of sugar aud of mustard. Beat
the sauce thoroughly, aud add, last of
all, teaspoon of minced shallots aud
one of capers, and one of chopped Gu
cumber pickles. This is delicious
sauce to serve with fried halibut or 9TH
er fried fish, broiled chicken or any
kind of cold meat. 'Dead are the CRU
saders," says the gourmet, "but the lit
tie onion they brought from Ascalon
lives forever"

A COMING TOWEL.

A "combing towel" is an American

slit is buttoned up, aud thus protect the
clothing while the hair is being brushed.
The prettiest combing towels are of plain
white damask linen, hemsttched on the
ends aud powdered with flowers CT deco
rated with some suitable embroidery. A
fall of lace at either end is not an inap-

any combing towel, though it is not
