Successful Planting.

! A good experiment was made In
timber planting by b. Hathaway OF
Michigan, which he reported in the
Prairie Farmer He set $50 trees,
alternating with sugar maple and
white pine, one rod apart, along the
roadside. They were placed on the
west or windward side OF his culti-
waited farm. They have served as a
windbreak for twenty years. He has
also set line entirely of naples,
which he procured from natural
growth some miles away. The maple
being an easy tree to transplant, very
few were lost. From these naples
he has made syrup and sugar for ten
years without harm to the trees.
This reminds us of plan partly car
RED out by another person. The
public road passes through his farm
with a slight and uniform ascent.
Planting line Of sugar maple trees
ten feet apart along the border OF the
road he proposes to tap them for sap
as soon as they are old enough and tC
connect them all by small wooden
or tin trough extending from tree to
tree. and thus collect the sap from
the whole in these successive troughs
at the bottom of the descent into a
suitable evaporating pan, where the
pure sap can be evaporated into white
and crystalline sugar. Country Gen

Hints to Housekeepers.

PUT salt on the hot clinkers in your
stove or range after raking down the
fire, and it will remove them.
ORANGE peel dried and grated

licious tor favoring cakes and pud-
dings.
FLINT glass ground to a powder and

GALVANIZED articles may be cleaned
by solution OF one part OF borax to
eight parts OF water. Rub on well
with brush.
To REMOVE bits of paint from win
dow glass, put some soda in very hot
water and wash the glass with 1t,
using soft flannel.
ONE OF the easiest ways to catch

DARK brown sugar slowly dissolved

are tightly stuffed with newspapers.
If the stoveplpes are found to be
rusted when taken down, rub thor
oughly with lard. The good pipes
may also be preserved in the same
way.
OTLcLorHs should never be washed
In hot soapsuds; they should first bC

There are few men, even among
those actively engaged In the horse
breeding industry, says a correspond
emit OF the American AgricuIturist,
who fully realize the long and ex-
! penslve searches that are made by
horse dealers and by the agents OF
wealthy, men to secure well-matched
pairs OF horses for carriage driving.
1t Is not essential In a'great number
of these cases that the horses be fast
trotters, but it is OF the first i'm
portance that the pair match well,
and after this that they move with a
stylish, housekeeping and high
spirited gait Such horses, matched,
are worth very much more than
double their price when sold alone,
owing to the difficulty that is ex-
perlenced in attempting to cater to
this desire on the part of wealthy
people to indulge their fancy in an
attractive pair of carriage horses.
The following OF the well recog-
nized principles Of breeding will go
far toward securing we'll matched
pairs. III sone could use breeding
mares, OF an established standard OF
form and color, such as has been Sc
cured in the breeding of the Hackney
Coach, French Coach, and Cleveland
Bay, and could make use also of stall
ions that had been thus bred, he
could count quite confidently on pro-
ducing what was desired But the
average breeder has no such facilities
at hand He must use such mares as
he has, or can readily obtain, but
even under such circumstances there
is an intelligent way to proceed.
A well-shaped mare may be bred
for two years in succession to sire
whose prepotency has been shown to
be so strong that his offspring, as a
rule. strongly resemble him in form
and color; or. what would be still bet
ter, two mares OF as great similarity
as possible may be bred the same
year to such q SIRE, and the chances
i will strongly favor the securing of a
well-mated pair. II one is breeding
horses as part OF his farm opera.
tions itisnot difficult to secure mares
that bear close resemblance to each
other, which. IL person is limited to
the use OF only one mare, he may, as
suggested, breed for two years in sue
cession TO the same sire, or may ar.
range with a neighbor, having mare
somewhat similar to his own, tC
breed both the same season to such a
sire with a view to the increased
profit to both If well-matched pail
be thus obtained.
A French Coach, or a Cleveland
Bay sire possessing fine style and
spirit, is preferable, for there is &
strength of breeding in the case o.
such sires that makes the handing
down of their own characteristics tt
their offspring quite certain, ever
when the dams are not altogether
similar to them in form and color
These two breeds are specially noted
as possessing such form, spirit anC

The international Monetary Confer
ence. which has begun at Brussels, Bel
Rium. will doubtless be the most inn
portant gathering OF recent years so far
as It's effects upon the fiscal policies OF
the world are concerned. It will be OF
especial consequence 70 the interests OF
the United States, for this 10 the chief
silver-producing nation OF the world,
and upon the results OF the conference
will depend In q large measure the ma
terial prosperity Of several States OF the
Union, whose chief wealth consists In
their mines OF argentiferous ores.
The conference was first proposed by
the Congress OF the United States, and
after consultation with representatives
OF the leading foreign powers Its details
were formulated and delegates appoint
ed. These consist, on the part OF the
United States, Of ex-Comptroller OF
tho Currency Henry w. Cannon,
Senator william b. Allison, OF
Iowa; Senator John p. Jones,
OF Nevada; President Z. Benjamin
Andrews, OF Brown University; Con-
gresham McCreary of Kentucky; and
Edward o. Leech, Director of the Mint.
These delegates represent fairly all the
views OF Americans on the subject OF
silver coinage. Senator Allison takes q
middle view on the question. Senator
Jones is confessedly q radical free coin
age man. DIR. Andrews has written an
interesting volu ne on The Gold Dol
lar, and his views are almost radically
against free silver. Director Leech be-
lieves that there Is too much silver In
the market, and Congressman McCreary
is inclined to side with Senator Jones,
although by no means as radical on the
subject.
Duties OF the Members.
The duties OF the delegates have been
clearly defined by the act authorizing
the conference and also by the Score
tary of the Treasury. They have au'
thority simply to discuss and propose

after the goats was matter of much
discussion. Finally it was agreed upon
to leave them tied up at the tent.
EARLY in the following morning they
set out and soon found that herd of
goats had lately been near their last
camp. They fastened on in pursuit
through wild, weird country. Some
times they struggled through dense
forest with thick underwood that great
~ impeded their advance and tore their
stout buclzskin clothing into shreds.
Low-growing, beautiful ferns, rough,
gigantic brakes and millions of para
sitical plants with white and red flow
ers surrounded them on every side,
while a hundred singing birds warbled
and fitted merrily from tree to tree
Then again they would be forced to
creep on hands and knees over and un-
der immense powders, or, with the
greatest difficulty, to round = craggy
precipice, where the slightest giddiness
meant horrible death in the chasm
that waited silently below to destroy
the men who had dared to tempt it's cru
city.
But suddenly dangers were forgotten,
for beyond sharp turn, and about
half a mile away, herd of goats was
seen lazily picking up little food or
chewing their cuds; several little kids
gamboled about in the heyday of youth
and carelessness, while noble speci-
men of a buck stood contemplating his
kingdom Approaching ,warily- under
shelter of trees or rocks, and against
the wind, we could see that he was a
magnificent creature, standing over
four feet. high, with colossal ringed
horns of about twenty inches in length;
his beard was only few inches from
the, ground, and straggly black and
white coat of long hair gave him a
formidable appearance and made him
look much larger than he really was
Our eyes watered with delight as we
took stock of him, and each mentally
determined to secure the prize. AS we
came slowly nearer and nearer the
billy became more and more sus-
picious of some unseen enemy who was
threatening the safety of himself or
some of his subjects. He shifted the
wind, looked up and down and all
around, walked majestically hither and
thither, while his family rose and fol-
lowed. Something had frightened him.;
what could it be? Look! they are scared
and are scampering off.
