SAN Francisco, July 30.-A month ago
vessel arrived at San Pedro with
1926, 900 orange trees from Tahiti. Every
one of the trees was covered with eight
varieties of deadly pests. The trees
were Immediately placed in quarantine,

pests has been of no avail. 1t is stated
that ahould they escape into the

THE DAIRY.
"A Dairy Well.

For ordinary use, the well should
be dug six feet by four square, with a
gutter or groove down one side eight
cen inches square. 1t should contain
two or three feet of lasting water. 1t
should be in easy reach of the kitch-

which fits inside of the well, slides
up and down between two timbers,
which rest on the bottom Of the well,
and are long enough to reach up three
feet above the curb. These two tim
bers should be planed.
The framework of the platform has
board nailed on each side of it,
forming a groove which fits on the
upright timbers at each end Of the
well. This makes it rigid and keeps
it level. The circular black spots on

THAT RUSSIAN PETITION .

G go to his assistance. IT was easy,
therefore, to get the signers; now the
question is, who will deliver it. 1t

THE POULTRY-YARD.
Two Breeds In a Pen.

1t is fact that the great number
-millions-of fowls in this country
may be found in small flocks. mainly,
from ten TO fifty in number, says
Poultry World. To be sure, there
are large establishments where fowls
may be counted by the thousands;
but the villagers and small farmers,
each keeping a small number, make
the aggregate poultry census swell to
large figures.
Many of these small-scale poultry
breeders, having limited room at com
mand, desire to keep one of the nom
sitting breeds-Leghorns or Spanish
for eggs; but cannot raise chickens
with these, and are somewhat
troubled about getting sitters. 1t is
an easy matter to manage this affair.
There Iced be only one apartment
and ore flock. Obtain sufficient
number of Brahmas or Cochins for sit
ting a2a let them run with the Leg
horn LGns and cocks. The eggs OF
these sitters being brown, may be
readily sorted out from the white
ones and used for cooking. The pure
white eggs OF the Leghorns or Span
ish may be used for incubation when
the instinct moves the Asiaties to sit
and that will surely come to pass.
These sitters may, preferably, be OF
small size for the breed; large hens
being more clumsy and more liable to
break the eggs. Plymouth Rociks
hardly ever lay eggs so white as nor
to be distinguished from Leghorn
eggs, and they may serve the purpose
OF sitters; only they do not come to
time quite as surely as Asiatics; bur
they are faithful and careful. A

THE KITCHEN.
How TO Cook water.

The late Charles Delmonico used to
talk about the new hot-water cure.
He said the Delmonicoes were the
first to, recommend it to guests who
complained OF having no appetite.
''Take cup of hot water and ltmon
and you will feel BETTER" was TIE
formula adopted. The lemon juice
takes away the insipidity of hot
wates. For this ambitious remedy
the caterers charged the price of a
drink of their best liquors (25 cents or
more), and it certainly was a wiser
way 20 spend small change than In
alcohol. ''Few people know how to
cook water" Charles used to affirm.
The secret is putting good fresh
water into q neat kettle already
warIn, and setting the water to boil
quickly, and then taking it right of
10 use in tea, coffee or other drinks
before it is spoiled. To let it steam
and simmer and avnnorafA until the
gOod water is all in the atmospher
and the lime and iron dregs only left
in the kettle, bah! that is what makes
a great many people sick, and is worse
thaa no water at alln Every lady
who reads this valuable recipe Of a
great and careful cook should never
forget how to cook water.

LIVE STOCK.
Warm Barns for Fattenlng Stock.


In an experiment made in feeding
two lots of pigs of equal age and
weight, one being in pens in a warm
barn, and the other being in open pens
out of doors, the following results
were Obtaincd: From Nov. 81 to
Feb. 5, in the warm barn one pound
OF pork cost AS pounds of corn, and
in the outside pens one pound of pork
cost 5.92 pounds of corn, difference
OF about 20 per cent. But during the
very severest weather for four weeks,
in the warm barn one pound of pork
cost oil pGInds OF corn. and in tho
corn, or nearly double the amount.
Experienced feeders say that the
effect of cold weather upon fattening
stock is mora marked upon other ami
mails than it is upon swine, and if it
takes twice as many pounds Of corn
to make pound OF pork out of doors
as it does in the barn, it will certainly
require as much more, and perhaps
twice as much, to make pound OF
beef in stable where water will
freeze as it will in one where there
is a moderate temperature, not lower
than so degrees, and also that the
same amount of feed given before the
weather is very cold will make much
more fat than it will later in the sea-
son.

Good for sheen.

Sweet ensilage and roots in moder-
ate quantities are good for sheep or
cattle. But give them just as much
sweet, early cut hay or clover in adj
dition twice a day as they can eat,
with justas much provender as though
they had no ensilage. Green corn or
clover ensilage, like turnips, is a good
appetizer If fed in warm barns, or
when the weather is mild out Of
doors. AS for feeding it to any stock
entirely and making success, be-
lieve it is impossible. Don't think /
condemn ensilage. / do not any more
than turnips, but do not put too much
confidence in and expect too much
from ensllage. 1t is impossible to get
any more out of jug than is put into
it or to have your check honored at
the bank for more than you deposit.
Sheep should never be pastured on the
same land more than three successive
seasons, unless they are pastured with
cattle. The better way to manage
sheep in the summer is, unless your
pasture is entirely free from coarse OF
water grasses and bushes, to let few
young cattle run with them. Have
the pasture so arranged that you can
give the sheep a fresh pasture, at
longest every third year Let the
cattle, or the plow, follow the sheep,
and so keep up the rOtation.-H Q.

Hints TO HoussIxeepers.

THE oftener flour is sifted for
sponge cake the lighter the cake will
be.
A SMALL piece of sulphur placed in
the cupboard or drawer will drive
away ants.
THE flesh OF fresh fish should be
firm, the gills should be light red, and
the scales silvery.
IN making a mustard plaster for a
patient with delicate skin, use white
Of egg instead of water.
WASH mirrors with warm suds, then
dust with whiting from amuslin bag,
and polish with chamois skin.
HARD soap lasts much longer If
dried for several weeks before using
it. 1t is also less hurtful to the skin.
To PREVENT the smell of cabbage
permeating the house while boiling,
place on the stove dish containing
vinegar.
BRooMs dipped for few minutes
in boiling suds once week will last
much longer than they otherwise
would.
