Demagnetizin9 q Watch.

A novel method of removing mag
netism from watches is due to a Mas
sachusetts inventor. The apparatus
consists of compound horseshoe
magnet placed erect with its poles up
ward and a suitable support placed at
some distance, perhaps two or three
feet, above it. From this SUPPORT is
suspended by twisted thread q card
board tray in which is the watch to be
demagnetized. When in position the
supporting thread is allowed to I'M
twist and the watch is gradually re-
moved from the magnetic field. UI
course the same results could be OBJ
tanned by the use OF an electro mao
net energized from a battery, or other
source OF current, as we'll as bv am

JAPANESE AUTHoRsH,p
An Interesting Process, Very Different From
Authorship Hereabouts.

AutuOIsulp HcTcADUutSs
The Japanese author does not write
books. He paints them. As soon .as
he reaches the Indispensable minimum
Of ideas he shuts himself in his stndv
frightened slightly by soft lioht
from four-cornered white paper Inn
tern. He has before him a polished
table, one foot high, on which lie his
idyllic writing materials. The paper
is of an agreeable yellow and is mark
ed with perpendicular and horizontal
blue lines. His ink is held in a rich
ebony plate. elaborately carved and
with depression in which the black
tablets are rubbed to nothing. Tho
plate carries also FIVE bamboo brushes
which serve as pens.
AS the spirit moves the author
begins painting at the back end of all
the pages that are to swing Japanese
hearts and heads. From the left to
the right of each page his brown
hands sweep the brush up and down the
perpendicular blue lines. With in
conceivable rapidity the pages are
covered with delicate and varied
marks from the brush. To foreigner
a volume just fresh from such hand
is one Of the prettiest things in the
world, and exactly the article to be
presented to friend or patron as an
edition de lalre. But the first success
of work in Japan depends so extern
sively on the artistic execution of the
brush that no author would think of
letting an autograph work. leave his
hands. When finished the painted
history, poem. or novel is intrusted to
professional copyist, who knows
above all others how to paint words
with skill. Beside the experiences of
such book painter the scratching of
a European pen or the click of a type
writer seems as indicate as splitting
wood
The next step of the author with the
indispensable minimum of ideas is to
send the artistic reproduction of his
painting to the engraver, who pre-
pares the blocks, vets them with ink,
lays on the paper sheet by sheet and
finally presses it down, so that it may
take the figures, with a great palm leaf
pen. The leaves are fastened together,
and bound in simple paper covers.
Unlike the western book fancier, the
Japanese book fancier cares little for
the exterior of his volumes. He wishes
no ornament on the binding, aside from
the marks of the title in the upper left
hand corner -.
The arrangement of Japanese au-
thor with his publisher is astonishingly
simple. One recently ans wered the
question of a European on the subject

Il myself pay the publisher. take
the risk of losses from my works. ]

There is one crop of early autumn

green they never bulge.

as cool and shaded, will have none.
Those in the same frees of yards have
good manners. never interrupting each
Other but listening intently for their
turn to express their belief as to
whether Katy did or didn't. The out
side world, after listening for years to
debate is divided as to opinion. just
the same as on more important sub
Jects, it judges in accordance with the
sentiments OF its own consciousness.
These little green chanters never
change their opinion. They belong
to the dds or didn'ts. and by no mis-
take alter their saying. One may
tramp around the trees where they
1--we, may sit beneath them, talk,
laugh, or indulge in any noise, and
Katy chants on in undisturbed monolo-
que. But lay hand, ever so lightly,

Instantly hushed, remaining quiet ur-
til the hand is removed. In darkness,
when one creeps safely up to an elm
tree where, above in the branches,
is taking place loquacious dialogue.
and gently rest the palms of the
hands against the bark, the silence is
painfully sudden.
1here was once man visiting
Rhode Island whose ambition was to
possess some elm trees, and in them
katydids. He had the elms for the
katydids, but no katydids for the elms.
SO he came from his distant home and
got possession of one, which he car
ried back and put well up in the
greenery of the elm. Then be waited.
The katy was as dumb as a sealed
fruit jar, and wouldn't say word.
He wrote back to inquire why the
thing wouldn't open its mouth and
sing. He was informed, first, that the
thing didn't speak the sentence with
any mouth, but with its legs; second,
that although the divorce laws of
Rhode Island were often brittle enough
to sever knots tied by ministers, still
he need not expect any garrulous
hhlilarity from one katydid separated
from its mateland alone in a strange
land. Then another was put in the
tree, and in true marital style one
said Katy did, and got contradicted in
about a second. They've kept it up
ever since. Journal.

value of Skim-Milk.

During the period when butter and
other dairy products have been un-
naturally cheap, only those farmers
have made money from COWS who
know how to get the greatest value
from skim-milk. Its value as food is
not made most of by feeding it ex-
cluslVely to any animal. Good as it
1s' 1t is made still better by adding a
little oil meal or faxseed. This re-
stores the fat which has been taken off
In the cream, and makes it nearly
equal for fattening to new milk. When
thus mixed it goes further if given in
connection with other food.

Thumps in Hogs.

AAo uASocsS0 40 ECOAuuOu 10 all sea-
sons, but more prevalent in the cool
months of fall and spring and during
the winter than during the summer.
1t is caused by constipation, too rich
and heavy feeding, colds, and lying in
the dust We have had more trouble
from overlooking than all the other
causes together. When young pig
gets to humping we do not expect to
meet with success in doctoring, be-
cause the trouble is caused by too
much milk, and before we can reach
1t through the dam it succumbs. But
with pigs after weaving and larger
animals that suffer from thumps we
have met with good success in giving
medicine, finding spirits of turpentine
the best remedy. For pig that will
weigh fifty pounds teaspoonful will
be dose; give once Il day for two or
three days in the slop, and then drop
out day or two before giving another
dose.
If the animal is getting too much it
can be told by the effect on the urinary
organs. Once we prepared turpentine
for the whole lot, something over
thirty head. for cough, part of them
failed to drink, and the others got too
much. Result, the next morning about
one-half of the number were off feed,
and on being driven from their beds
the barrows would get almost onto the
ground with their bellies in their
efforts to urinate, and the sows would
settle down on their launches in their
straining. We thought the affected
ones were ruined, but in this we were
mistaken, for in twelve hours they
were at their feed again, apparently
ly all right. ~-4. - ...
This remedy in some cases fails, as
all other remedies will. Many farm
ers deem it the shortest way out of the
trouble when they find a hog humping,
to kill It, putting an end to its misery
and saving the expense aud incon-
venience of doctoring. This we would
not do except in extreme cases. This
is a trouble that can be prevented by
careful feeding and looking we'll to
the sanitary conditions OF the ami mails.

do not think the disease as prevalent

Transplnnting Trees.

1t Will soon be spring again, and our
farmers should then give more atten-

location, with the land we'll prepared.
1t should be cultivated and MANFRED,
ADD DO In such condition as to bear,
say fifty bushels OF corn to the acre.
Tho trees should be young and thrifty
II the trees come from the nurseries
In good condition they should be set at
once, or kept from the sun in a cool,
moist place until set.
Let the holes be dug of sufficient
Size to extend the roots out full length.
Set the trees as deep as they were in
the nursery. and no deeper. Put a
few inches of rich top soil or turf, the
latter Is better, in the bottom of the
hole. Have a tub of water handy.
Take the tree in one hand, with the
top down. and a sharp knife in the
other. land cut off all the broken roots
with slanting cut. From the smooth
cut roots little rootlcts will start very
soon, and the tree will make a good
growth the first year.
Next turn the tree top up, and with
slanting cut take off at least one
half the length of all the limbs and
top. DO not be afraid to use the knife
freely. [ seldom leave more than
three buds on a limb. Some object to
this practice, but experience and OBJ
servatlon have convinced me that this
Is correct
The roots OF most trees extend much
farther than their branches, and when
taken from the nursery the larger
part OF the roots are leftin the ground,
and hence there is but little left to
sustain the tree. Even if the tree
lives with the whole top left on, then
the ends OF the limbs will be likely to
die. At all events, such a tree will be
stunted and ruined. The tree thus
prepared. trimmed as above, should
have its roots dipped into the tub
of water. BY so doing the dirt will
cling to the roots, and enable them to
start more readily.
The above directions will apply to
nearly all fruit trees. The pear or
ounce should be set so as to cover the
connection three or four inches below
the surface. BY so doing ounce roots
will be placed out of the way of the
borers, for these pests seem to BIZ
more fond of the ounce than of the
pear.

Farm and Stock Notes,

Farm and Stock Notes.
Never feed the COWS when milking
them.
1t pays less to handle a poor grade
of horses than any other class of
stock.
In feeding soft feed to the COWS,
adding little salt will make it more
palatable.
A colt given plenty of room will not
be as awkward as one raised in a
close room.
Give an animal good chance at the
start and you will not be disappointed
at the outcome.
There are few substances more
easily contaminated by pure odors
than fresh milk.
Two thlngs-perfection of flesh and
OF dairy products-in the same animal
can hardly be expected.
Much of the work of properly
training the trees in the orchard can
be done in mild, winter weather.
The more poor horses a man raises
the worse off he is, and it is only a
question of how long he can stand it.
Many fail to succeed from the fact
that their farms are not adapted to
the breed OF animals that is being
kept
With breeding stock there is always
a danger Of deterioration, which can
only be avoided by care and vigil
lance.
Using the straw stack for bedding
in the stables, will give more comfort
to the stock than using as an outside
shelter.
A COW cannot produce milk in sat-
isfactory quantities unless she has the
elements OF material in her food from
which to make it.
In many cases inferior products can
not be grown and made ready for
market at fair profit. They are too
often drug on the market.
The form of the animal and the
quality of the meat depend mainly on
the breed. The growth aud Develop
ment depend largely upon the feed.
1t is important, in order to derive
the best possible results from feeding
animals, that the farmer should thor
oughly understand the quality of the
material used.
While it is not now possible for
every farmer to have the best breeds
of stock, yet they can take good care
of what they do have so as to realize
the most profit.
