AN important bill designed to prevent
the employment on public works of prison
or convict labor OF the products of such
labor was reported to the House to-day
from the Labor Committee by Representa-
tive Davis. The bill is made effective by the
inclusion in it of the following provisions:
In all contracts made for the construction
repair of public works there is to be in
serted condition that no convict prison
labor or the product thereof shall be en-
ployed or used upon such buildings. The
willful violation OF the law is to constitute
forfeiture of contract.

Having slain a centipede which had
been sent him by q friend, he laid it
on the window-sill within his apart

vermin had been seen, to his great
qualification, in the course of a few
hours, one solitary ant suddenly
made its appearance through a crew

How to Raise Horse-Rad,sh.

Horse-radish can be planted either
in fall or spring, it being an entirely
hardy plant. The practice, however,
is to plant in the spring, and among
those who make the most Of their
land, and crop every foot as much as
it willcarry, it is placed on theground,
for example, as Il second crop. The
method is somewhat as follows: In
the spring, where land is no object
or, Us we said before, the fall will do
each set should be inserted in the
ground with a dibble, so as to be just
below the surface, the hole being made
perpendi ul ", and the set made fast
by a back-llrust Of thedibble.
II no other crop is to be taken off,
they should be set siNteeninches apart
each way in a hole ten or more inches
deep. Ordinary cultivation during the
summer will by fall give a solid root
sometimes Il half-pound weight. AS a
second crop they are lined between
early cabbage, OF almost any other
vegetable.
The crop OF cabbage for first use is
generally about two feet apart. Line
out a row every foot and plant the
cabbage every alternate row. When
this is completed place horse-radish
sets between. The early crop will
have become nearly ready for the
market before the horse-radish makes
much OF a stir, and by the time the
cabbage or other crop comes Off, and
the whole land is given up to horse
radish the latter is readytotakehold,
and will bring nearly as good returns
as ifgiven the entire land to perfect in.
OF course, as all we'll know, this
double cropping can only be done on
good, well-manured soil In many
cases where ordinary field cultivation
is depended upon, IL crop will prob
ably be the better. This business of
raising horse-radish in large guam
titles is more remunerative to those
who have farms near some large viii
lage or city, rs enormous quantities
are sold in the fall to men who make
a business OF putting up in bottles
this pleasant condiment, and shipping
it to all parts OF the world. 1t is now
put up in vinegar, but it will not,
however, keep very long. Hence it a
not be treated as ordinary canned
goods.

Various Uses for Nawananera.

The uses OF q newspaper, aside from
its readable qualities, are not per.
haps fully known. If on a raw day
you have to walk across town for
several blocks and meet the keen wind
which New Workers invariably en-
counter, stop at the corner stand and
buy a newspaper-its politics are non
essential-which slip beneath your
fur cape or wrap, from neck to belt.
Its protection is remarkable. Two

In travelling, one of these clean, new
sheets on the floor of q dirty car
means valuable dress protection. And
light-soled shoes are most efficiently
added to by two thicknesses of the
same thing. Stand the shoe on the

which then cut out. This slipped in

vastly more comfortable. New York

George j. Kellogg says the soil for
small fruits, including grapes, should
be rich enough to raise 100 bushels OF
corn per acre. Side hills that wash
should be avoided; yet southern slope
for grapes and early Strawberries is
best, and northern slope for late ber-
ries.
When a COW is two years old a

years old another will form and after
that one will come each year. Thus

Getting all the Butter.

There may lie q big loss in butter
making, if we don't get all the butter
there is in the milk. If the milk is
not set so as to raise all the cream,
there will be- a loss; if all of the butter
does not separate at the same time
while churning, there will be another
loss. If there should be any doubt
about these two points, the skim-milk
and the buttermilk should be set
away for twelve hours more, and if
they be diluted with cold wa
ter at the time Of setting, the
separation OF cream, if there
should be any in them, will be
the o rapid and thorough. A loss
OF a few ounces OF butter every day,
amounts to quito al item in the
course of a year, and care should be
taken to see that no loss is made. If
the Dreaming of the milk be found de-
f%ective, it may in some instances be
remedied by adding to the milk it's
own bulk OF cold water, at time of
setting.
While this method has it's disad-
vantages, yet its advantages may
more than balance them; in case OF
want OF ice when a creamery is used,
we know it to be a profitable way of
Dreaming. If the cream be properly
ripened, and no sweet cream added at
the time of churning, little difficulty
will be experienced from uneven
churninq.

Where Money Was of Little Value.

~ OiiS "oS " @lISi0 VdIu0s
En- Englishwoman, describing q visit
to al extensive gold mine in Victoria
twenty-five years ago, says that
many of the workers in the mine were
shareholders and very rich men. Few
OF them seemed to have the slightest
idea OF the value OF money or how to
spend it,.
"Ma1y of those who can count
their money by thousands live in the
same little shanties which they built
on first coming to the diggings. They
treat their friends on every possible
occasion, and when they go to the
nearest town buy for their wives the
most expensive dresses they can find.
Few of them have any higher idea of
the pleasures or the advantages or
even the comforts to be attained by
the possession OF wealth.

and finding no one who looked like a
