rARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Professor L. H. Bailey says that the
Lucretla is by far the most prominent Of
the devberries.
A wise breeder selects his breed aud

The old double feveriew is easily
grown and the flowers are valuable In
the cut state, being very enduring.
If you give ounces good soil, rich
cultivation, and careful pruning, the
fruit will almost always be grown at a
profit
Generally speaking, the easiest aud
cheapest way to increase crops is TO
deepen the soil in which they are
grown.
The COW that is about to drop calf
should have bone and muscle-forming
food instead of high feeding to promote
milk secretion.
Trees should always be set about as
deep as they stood in the nursery, or two
or three inche: deeper, to allow for the
settling of the earth.

A good many industrious people make
more than living from ten acres Of
land. Yet some fail to do well from a
hundred. The difference must be the
man and his methods.
Hogs that are KEEP, on clover through
the summer will put on flesh very fast
when they get new corn. Begin gra1u-
ally, and as soon as they are used to it
feed all they will eat.
The best way to determine just what
crops are the most profitable is to ascer-
tain exactly the cost of producing each.
This can be done by keeping daily ac-
count OF labor and expenses.

The Largest Glass Globe.

The largest glass globe ever made was
that erected in the grand machinery
palace at the Paris Exhibition in 1889,
which at height Of forty feet contained
10000 incandescent lights. The ma
chinery palace or hall was 1890 feet in
length $50 feet high, covered an area of
60, QUO square yards, and its roof had a
span of $40 feet clear. Another large
glass globe is the electric moon at the
Lick Observatory, on the top of Mount
Hamilton, twelve miles from San Jose,
the original capital of California. The
electric light which it contains is of 3D.
600 candle power. Glass can now be
manufactured in pieces Of very large
size. The Kokomo Qnd.) Glass Works
recently turned out a monster sheet of
perfectly transparent window-glass be-
lieyed to be the lar est ever manufac-
tured. 1t measured las feet By 1875
inches and weighed 1000 pounds. II
this were flint or crown glass the globe
into which the glass was first blown
would have a diameter Of fifty feet or
seventeen yards. But sheet glass is
blown into a cylindrical form aud then
slit longitudinally and plate glass is
poured out in melted state on a table.

Quarrel About a Nose.

The statue of Paul Veronese at the
city OF Verona was mutiIated by the nose
being broken off. The city council
asked the sculptor Cristain, WHO made
the statue, to repair the nose. lie said
he could not make good job Of it with
out making new head to replace the
mutilated head, which he offered to do
for 5000. Tue council decided that the
city could not afford so much money for
a broken stone nose, aud Callel upon a
number of other artists to men the
nose. Crlstain sent out a declaration
protesting against any attempt to deface
his work Of art by putting on a nose, be-
cause it could not possibly be done we'll.
All the sculptors to whom the council
applied refused to undertake the job.
For the present, therefore, Paul Yer

Ralsln- Making in California.

There are several ways of ascertaining
when the grapes are sufficiently ripe for
picking. The sacchsrometer, an Instru
ment which shows the relative quantity
OF sugar in the juice, is sometimes used.
When twenty five per cent. or more on
centigrade scale is indicated, the grapes
are ripe enough to make good raisins.
But experienced vineyardists rely entirely
upoa the taste and color of the fruit.
When the grapes have become 50 sweet
that no acid taste can be detected, and
have attained an amber hue where ex-
posed, or certain translucency when
grown in the shade, they are in a proper
condition to be gathered.
The picking of raisin grapes requires
more care and is a slower operation than
the gathering of other varieties. The
clusters are cut from the vine carefully
one by one, all imperfections and bad
berries trimmed off, aud then arranged
regularly on the trays, so that all will
have a fair exposure to the sun. If
heaped or everything each other in tue
least. the drying of the under punches
will be greatly retarded.
To make good raisins the grapes
should und srgo a kind of fermentation
in the first stage of curing, which gives
them pulled appearance and fills the
air with a pleasant fragrance. From
ninety to one hundred degrees Fahren-
heit in the shade is the temperature
most favorable for this process. Below
ninety degrees the grapes will not fer
mcnt properly, aud above one hundred
degrees, if exposed to the sun, they are
liable to be cooked "A condition readily
detected by a strong odor resembling
that of baked apples. To avoid this re-
suit, grapes picked during excessively
hot weather are now generally stacked,
or otherwise covered, until the fermen
tation has ceased aud the grapes have
taken on the shruuken and corrugated
annearance characteristic of RAISING, the
sun can do them no harm, no Yeyer
hot.
To facilitate the drying and render it
uniform, the trays are reversed after
three or four days, in order that
the sides Of tae punches which have
been to the northward may nave an
equal exposure to the sun. When the
upper side OF the grapes has become we'll
cured, which may be anywhere FROM a
week to two weeks, according to the tenn
perature, the raisiDs are turned. This
is done by putting an empty tray on top
of the full one and turning them upside
down, either by a man using a clamp to
faster one edge or by two persons whirl-
ing them over with a swinging motion.
The reverse side does not require so long
an exposure as the other.
The total time of curing varies greatly
from ten days or less in hot weather
to a month or more under unfavorable
conditions. Raisins cured in about ff
teen days are the best.-OyerIAnd

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
PROJECTING SHEEP FROM DOGS,

A mode of protecting sheep from
dogs, as successfully practised by some
of Massachusett'sfarm and reported to
that States Board of Agricultural, con
sists of entertainments of barbed wire
AS barbed wire rarely does any harm to
sheep, it may be successfully used Tor
their protection. Six wires high 'will'not
only hold sheep, but will turn dogs; the
dogs do not like its short points, and a
six.wire fence will not allow them pas
sage between the wires, and no other
fence will do this. In a twb-year ex-
pertinent, the fence foul feet high and
the posts rod apart, never allowed
dog to pass. The cost,of the fence was
forty-four cents rod.-New York

CURE, ron scALY,LEes. ..

The disease known assembly or scaly
legs in poultry is due to'the presence of
a small mite somewhat like the one
which causes scab or itchlin sheep. BY
placing one of the scabs from the legs
of the fowls under a good microscope,
the mites may be readily seen, and in
form they areroundish, oval, aud semi
transparent. To cure this disease take
equal parts of lard aud kerosene, and APP
ply with soft brush to the affected
parts. Apply this freely, for it will do
no harm while softening the scabs and
destroying the mites. Another excellent
remedy is an ointment made by mixing
one ounce of carbolic acid with twenty
ounces of common lard. The disease is
a very unsightly one among fowls, but so
readily cured that there is really no ex-
cuse for leaving it to run its course ina
poultry yard Or elsewhere.-New York

vsIuables Holes.

A hole is a hard thing to put into
collection of minerals, but there are a
few holes in certain cabinets that are
among the most priced Of their contents.
It must be added, however, that they
have enough surrounding material to
prove that they are holes. They are
called iulgurites, aud they are made by
lightning. A thunderbolt striking into
a sand heap or sandy soil is sometimes
hot enough to ,.itrify, or turn into glass
the silicious matter that it penetrates,so
that you have a glass tube just as big
around as a lightning fash. The largest
of these t1bes known is about three feet
in diameter, but commonly they are less
than an inch in thickness. They have
been known to penetrate sand for dis
lance Of thirty feet. Minerals.
