marked effect was seen in the material decline in

bill was the stiffeEing Of rates of exchange caused
b. large purchases by people who fear the out

FARM AND HOME.
Autumn Care of Roses.

Autumn Care of Roses.
Roses have many enemies, but 1t is moi
nearly so difficult to succeed with them as
many flower lovers suppose. Most insect
pests yield to sprinklings of hellebore In
water or kerosene emulsion. Rose bugs are
not very troublesome on clay soil, and such
. soil Is we'll adapted to their needs. We
never take our roses from the ground to pro
tect them, having learned that 1t can be done
much more effectually where they stand.
What Is called an "open" winter is much
more severe upon roses than Is steady cold
even though 1t be below zero. Our method
of protection for winter Is to draw the earth
up around the base of the plant for perhaps
sly inches. A quantity of leaves is then put
over It, and the whole is covered with
bsgasse, the refuse from an amber cane mill.
Evergreen boughs are equally good over the
leaves, and have no doubt but that corn
stalks MIGHT answer Il there WAS no grain to
draw mice. It Is not safe to remove al the
covering from the bushes ct once In spring.

ering 10 removed, the bushes are pruned, the
earth levelled and cultivated, and generous
coating Of stable manure Is worked into the
soil. Roses should not be covered until the
approach OF real winter. On that last day,
when the ground freezes little all day. put
them into their winter overcoats, and the
chances are that their long sleep will be
sweet and their awakening joyous. We rare
lv lose more than one bush In dozen, and
that is not discouraging. Roses are not
greatly injured by light frosts, and the ever.

The Farm Plat.

Every farmer should know the exact ares
of his farm, and the area Of every division Of
1t. There Is satisfaction In knowing this, land
the plat will be useful In keeping record Of
operations during the year. Many farmers
can space" a field and come somewhere
near" the actual contents, but this is not
enough. A farmer who had depended upon
the pacing measurement, found when he
came to sell that he was five hundred dollars
poorer than he thought be was. As the price
was reduced this amount, 1t was equivalent.
almost, to 3 loss. 1t was disappointment.
The plats may be used every year to keep a
record OF all crops. Make copy Of the plat
every spring by laying tracing paper upon 1t
and tracing the lines. The years work may
then be laid out-corn In this lot oats in that,
and so on. II this be done accurately every
year, and the plans be kept, they give rec.
ord Of all crops, and succession or rotation OF
crops In . small space-a kind Of leaf book.

Crib Biting Horses.

Crib biting in horses is sometimes an &C
qutred habit, and colts will learn 1t from Older
animals with whom they are associated In the
stable or field. Horses that are kept much
In the stable without active exercise will
sometimes for mere amusement bite the
stall or manger, and follow 1t up
from day to day until 1t becomes q
habit very difficult to break up. In other
cases 1t is due to indigestion, the result
of poor food, water, or over feeding without
sufficient exercise; In fact, excuses of any
kind may lead to INDIGESTION and crib biting,
and thence to the serious vice of wind suck.
ing. A confirmed cribber is nearly always a
wind sucker. and this leads TO digestive dis.
orders and loss of flesh and health. For treat
ment cover all the woodwork within reach of
the horse when In stable with sheet iron and
In way to prevent him from getting hold of
It with his teeth. Place a lump of rock salt
In his manger, or where he can reach and lick
II "a often or a. much as he chooses. In an
other box place q lump of white chalk, and
then sprinkle all the hay and oats given
with water or a little magnesia and water.
The animal should also have plenty of exer.
else, and II he has to stand In the stable for
day or two at q time put on muzZle after he
has eaten his ration; but the constant supply
Of salt and chalk will usually effect cure

commences In summer the harvesting Of the
summer and autumn crops Ia but like the
diminishing that precedos the great pitched
battle compared to that of harvesting the
winter fruit. Apple growers are . little
afraid to suffer their fruit to hang until fully
grown by reason Of the danger Of their being
blown of by high, autumnai winds. Apples
increase very much In size after many cup
pose they are fully grown. The orchardist
having many apples to pick should be amply
provided with ladders, both self-supporting
and those which lean against the branches,
and with suitable baskets, hooks and small
ropes to let down the handled baskets from
the tree. The fruit should be picked and
placed, not dropped, In the baskets, and great
care should be exercised In pouring into
larger baskets or barrels not to bruise the
fruit. If the apples are to be sorted and bar.

sound, large and fair as to command extra

fections. such as gnarly spots, scab spots and
a wormhole or two. The third should In.

should be lowered into the barrel In the bas'

ton to forcing the end layers, provided those
layers are fair representations Of the fruit

the folly of placing large, fair apples on the
ends and small imperfect ones In the middle.

Sailing Buttar in tho Churn.

The mischief of the frequent recommends
lions to salt butter In the churn is that they
mislead persons who do not understand pre-.
cise)y the principles involved. Salt can only
be mixed with butter and cannot be dissolved
In 1t. Therefore 1t is useless to put the salt
In the churn with the milk, as the salt will
be dissolved In the milk and washed out with
the water In washing the butter. To salt the
butter In the churn Is to put In the salt when
the milk has been washed completely from
the butter and this is In fine granular con.
dition. 1t is no saving of time or labor and
is not 30 convenient as sailing In the bowl or
butter worker, and 1t can onl; be done with
churns that have no dasher. 1t is wise to let
well enough alone, and not to adopt uncertain
recommendations, of which clear under.
standing is not given as guide to inexpert
persons.-[New York Times.

Hardness Of Butter.

The New Hampshire Experiment Station
has been conducting some experiments as to
the effects Of different foods on the hardness
Of butter, and though the work in this d.
re ction u not as yet extensive enough to jus
tify the drawing Of CONF Visions, their exper.
iments thus far indicau
/. That gluten mes enJh. TO produce a
much softer quality of butter than corn meal
or cotton seed meal, and other things being
equal, tends to lessen the churnability Of the
butter fat.
2. That with the Same cows the hardness
of butter depends much more upon the char
acter of the food than upon the nutritive
ratio.
8. That ensilage produces a somewhat
softer butter than does good hay, but 1t is al.
so favorable to the flavor and texture of the
butter product.
4. That skim milk has a very favorable
effect upon the churnabity and quality of
butter fat, and In single trial apparently
reversed the general rule that the volatile fat.
ty acids decreases as the period of lactation
advances.
5. That cotton seed meal tends to produce
an unusually hard quality Of butter, and that
the cotton seed meal and gluten meal might
be used together with excellent results.
6. That contrary to general belief the
melting point of butter fat Is not good In
deX of the commercial hardness of butter.
That while in general soft butter melts at
lower temperature than hard butter, there
is no definite relation between melting point
and actual hardness.
7. That no relation can be traced between
volatile fatty acids, except In the case of skim
milk. That usually hardness and volatile
acids vary inversely, hardness generally In.

whipping Balky Horses

Notwithstanding the fact that the press
continually admonishes whom It may con.
Germ that 1t does 10 good to whip or pound a
balky horse, almost every owner or driver of
one does IL today. 1t Is probably the great
est piece Of horse folly In existence. II is not
a remnant of barbarism, but 1t Is continual
barbarity and brings out what original and
acquired sin there is In man. The brain of
horse can retain but one idea at time. II
the ides Is to sulk, whipping only in,ensifies
It. A change of that idea. then, is the only
successful method of management. This
may be accomplished In scores of WAYS. a
few Of which will be named. Tie q hand
kerchief about bis ewes. tie his tall tightly
to the bellybsnd or backband; fasten stick
In bis mouth. tie cord tightly about the leg,
uncheck and pet him awhile; clasp hi. nos
trils and shut bis wind of until he wants to
go; unhiteh him from the vehicle and then
hitch up again. or almost any way TO get his
mind on something else. Whipping or scold-
Ing always does harm. The treatment should
ever be gentle. There are more balky drivers
than horses.-t National Stockmau.

Comb Hensy and Separators.

Comb Hensy and Separators.
The following queries and replies appeared
In the A merican Bee Journal:
1. Does the use Of separators influence thu
amount of honey stored In one pound sec
tons? 2. If so, to what extent? 8, Which
way would the crop have the greatest market
value, with or without separators? 4. Which
are the best, wood or tin separators?
Eugene Secor replied: 1. Possibly 1t may
but think not much. I interpret this ques.
ton to mean the aggregate amount stored by
the colony. 3. That produced with separa-
tors as a rule. 4. Either will do. Theoreti-
cally, wood Is preferable.
James Heddon said: 1. No. 3. With sepa.
rators. 4. Tin for wide frames and wood for
all other styles of surplus cases.
The editor replied: 1. There Is not much
difference in the amount Of honey stored.
whether separators are used or not. 3. Comb
honey produced where separators are used Is
much strsighter, and when Grated for market
the combswill not Interfere with one another ;
there Is no waste by leakage. and not being
''sticky," and therefore undesirable, 1t Is of
greater market value. 4. Whicheveris cheap.
