The Lemon, the Orange, the

of a delicate flavoring sub
stance, and the separation of
this substance in a manner SO
as to retain all its freshness,
sweetness and naturalness, re-
quires the greatest experience
and care.

ING EXTRACTS are prepared by
a new process that gives to
them the natural flavoring
qualities, and are so concen-

fruit. The leading chemists
endorse their purity. The

One Of the first tools which the gar
dencr win want in spring is the bread

till the ground freezes in winter. 1t is
of great Importance, therefore, to get

keep them bright and sharp. A laborer
with good tool will do twice as much
work in a day or in year with the
best tool than with a poor one. Mr.. j..

All the tools represented in Fig 1

MOMENTS WITH SCIENCE.

URANUS has four satellites, Saturn has
eight, and Neptune one.
The circumference of the earth's orbit
is about 612, 1909, 500 miles, that of the
moon about 800, 493 miles.
WHEN belt gets saturated with waste
oil, an application of ground chalk will

BLOOD travels from the heart, through
the arteries, ordinarily at the rate OF
about IL inches per second; its speed
through the capillaries is at the rate OF
3-l0Oths of an inch per second.
A NEW method of testing the hardness
nf steel has been invented by Swedish
metallurgist. 1t is based upon the in
tensity of current necessary to fuse a
wire of standard size. Experiments
show the current required for wires OF
various sizes, and upon this basis the
quality of any sample can be deter

ments and good shed for the larger.
The smaller tools may be hung up and
Systematically arranged. Every one
should have its place, and when
not in actual use, should be in
its place. Those which are hooked
in form may. be hung on pins, or on a
horizontal bar against the wall, or be-
tween two pins; and the name of each
tool should be plainly and handsomely
written under it. 1t will be an impor-
tant advantage if the gardener or labor
err can thus quickly lay his hand on
what he wants to use, and find it clean
and in perfect order for work A few
seconds only are needed to clean the
fresh soil off from spade or hoe when
done with, instead of leaving it dirty
and in a way to become rusty. This
will be better than throwing them
down promiscuously on the floor.
Some skill may at first be required in
arranging them on the side of the tool
room or against the wall, for the lighter
ones. Fig. represents such an ar
rangement, and embraces nearly all
tools that will be wanted for keeping the
farmers garden IN good order, after the
horse has been used as far as practic'

AMONG THE POULTRY.

EMBDEN geese will lay two settings
of eggs.
AFTER they once begin, guineas are
very regular layers.
ELEVEN turkey or duck eggs are
enough to put under hen.
LET young poultry stay in the nest
until they are thoroughly dry.
CARE must be taken not to allow the
early turkey eggs to get chilled.
SETTING hens should have an opportu-
nifty to come off the nest once every day.
Ducks and turkeys should rarely be
turned out until they are at least two
weeks old. ~ -
SAND is one of the best materials to
keep on the floor of the coops; it is east
ly cleaned up.
WHEN hens have been laying for some
time the last eggs are not so good for
Matching as the first.
WHENEVER there is considerable
number of young chickens it will pay
to provide a separate place for them to
roost.
As THE weather gets warmer lice will
begin to be more troublesome. Unless
kept down the chickens will not make 9
thrifty growth.

Tools Required to Make Vegetable Rails.
Ing Easy and Profitable.
The first implements which farmer

seeds to terminate, and all the young
plants to grow until they have given a
good return in products of the best
quality.
II horse labor can be used and the
ground laid out so as to admit horse,
much less hand labor win be required
to keep the garden perfectly clear OF
weeds; but whether horse is used or
not, good supply of tools will be re,
quired. BY selecting the best, and
keeping them bright and sharp, and
placed under shelter at the close OF

and satisfactorily. They should be al,
