Rain which on touching the grouud
crsckles and etnits electric sparks is
very uncommon but not unknown
phenomenon An instance of the kind
was recently reported from Cordoya, in
Spain, by an electrical engineer who
witnessed the occurrence The weather
had been warm and undisturbed by wind,
and so,n after dark the sky became
overcast by clouds. At about
o'clock there came flash Of lightning,
followed by great drops of electrical
rain, each one OF which ON touching the
ground, walls or trees gave faint crack
and emitted spark of light. The phe-
nomenon continued for several seconds,
and apparently ceased as soon as the at
mosphere was satuated with moisture

MAKING BUTTER ON THE FARM.

For making good butter on the farm,
writes Mrs. B. M. Caldwell, great deal
more than is commonly supposed de-
pends on having cows that give rich
milk. The difference between rich and
poor milk not only appears in the guam
tity of cream raised but also in the
quality and appearance of the butter.
There are many good native COWS and a
great many poor ones. When find that
one OF our cows gives poor, thin milk,
/ want her sold for beef, for 1 don't
want to try to make butter from such
COWS. Cows with the Jersey blood are
the most profitable for butter, and make
butter OF the best quality and color.
They don't give as large quantity as
some of the other breeds, but they make
up for it in a richer quality. In setting
the milk use four quart pans and fill
them about three quarters full. My milk
room is In a clean, sweet, dry cellar,
and skim as soon as the cream has all
raised, mix the different skimmings
thoroughly and churn just as the cream
has become little sour. | use the old
fashioned dash churn, fill about half
full and churn regularly and not fast
and then slow. The COWS are given
little salt every other day, and this
think quite important, for when it is
neglected for several days the butter will
be slow in coming. l work the butter
slowly until ! get out most OF the butter.
milk, then salt it and let it stand over
night, then work it over again and pour
OIL the milky brine. With good cows
and clean, cool milk-room, there need
be no difficulty in making good butter
on any farm by any one who will attend
to it properly.-New York World.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Warmth is life to young chickens.

Warmth is life to young chickens.
Keep the hen nests clean even in
winter.
1t is not good economy to keep COM
mon geese.
Clean off the eggs as fast as gathered
or the dirt will taint the meat.
Always arrange the nests and roosts so
that they can be readily cleaned.
On most farms skim milk is cheap.
Let the poultry have all they will eat or
drink.
1t is rarely good plan to allow a
fruit-tree agent to select the varieties of
trees for the orchard.
The grape can be readily propagated
by layering and good supply of plants
be secured at low cost.
Allowing moss or lichen to grow to
the bark of the trees affords hiding or
haiboring place for vermin.
When going any considerable distance
grass-fed cattle will shrink very heavily,
for the first ten days at least.
On many farms one reason why ducks
are not more profitable Is because they
are not given proper attention.
In many cases few cattle can be
kept on farm with profit when large
number would only result in loss.
If cattle are to be wintered largely on
roughness it is very important that they
be provided with a comfortable shelter.
Both the Plymouth Rocks and Wyan-
dottes are excellent market fowls. They
are of good size and have clean legs
and yellow skin.
The best use and profit to be had
from a SOW is to feed her carefully and
have her produce two litters of pigs
year. This is better than to newly
breed young sows each time.
The Importance of plenty of good
grass In raising and feeding stock can
not be overestimated. Every stockman
knows the Importance of plenty of grass
for all kinds of stock during the summer
months.
In handling fertilizers, plaster or lime,
be sure to have your nostrils smeared
with vaseline. In such work this is one
of the most comforting devices yet dis
covered. Try it also in narrowing,
threshing, and wherever there is dust.
An excellent way to deceive the Gu.
cumber bug is to sprinkle the vines with
tobacco, so that he will not recognize
them as his natural home. Tobacco
dust should be sprinkled literally from
the time the vines are up until the bios
SONS come.
All the straw raised on the farm can
be used to good advantage In feeding
stock. Good, bright oat straw is Of
equal value to prairie hay. The wheat
straw can be used to good advantage as
bedding. If it is cut at the proper time
it will be eaten very well.
1t is great disadvantage to have
mare in foal in the spring season of the
year. AT that time of the year all the
horses on the farm are needed, and the
farmer cannot we'll afford to spare even
one horse. This gives some encourage
ment to those who advocate the raising
of autumn colts.
II you are going TO pick the small
stone of that pasture this year hitch the
team to the harrow, and harrow it over.
If then the stones are not all loose and
on the top of the ground, harrow it the
other way, If there is wet spot in the
field or near it dig there a deep ditch,
unload the stones in it aud cover them
up out Of the way OF the nlouqh.

RECIPES.


Potato Salad-Boil potatoes until soft; !;
slice thin; add few slices of boiled
beets cut into small dice and a little
parsley picked to pieces. Serve with
French dressing.
Baked Bananas-Select large red ones,
take the skin off cne section of the ba-
mana, loosen the skin from them, put a
row in dripping pan with the side up
from which you took the peeling, sprinkle
sugar over them, bake half an hour in
quick oven.
Fried Onions-Pare and slice, round,
in half-inch pieces and soak fifteen min.
utes in milk. Then drain on towel,
roll in -four and fry in smoking hot fat,
or roll in egg and bread crumbs as you
prefer. Turn carefully, skim out and
drain on paper and serve on hot platter.
Pumpkin Pie-To three cupfuls of
stewed pumpkin add one egg, three cup
fuls of milk, two soda crackers rolled,
one-half teaspoonful of salt, two-third
cupful of brown sugar, one even table,
spoonful each of cinnamon and nutmeg,
one-half teaspoonful OF ginger. This
will make three pies.
johnny Cake-One cupful of butter
milk, one-half teaspoonful of soda, one
half teaspoonfuls of salt, one heaping
tablespoonful of sugar, three tablespoon
fuls of melted shortening. Take one
part OF fine corn meal, one part wheat
flour and make stiff batter. Bake in a
moderate oven for half an hour.
Baked Tomatoes-Chop small onion

dish in this way, having the last layer
buttered crumbs, and bake brown in
bot oven.
Prunes --Pruues when fresh are nice
to eat, but not as desirable for canning
as fruit which is more tart. Dried prunes
are very healthful. Wash thoroughly in
several waters, then leave over night in
cold water. In the morning pour prunes
and water Into porcelain kettle, and
cook over one hour slowly; when nearly
done, add what sugar is needed, skim
out the pruues, and cook the juice Q

THE cocKRoAca PEST.

Cockroaches are somewhat of a nui-
sance when they become too numerous
about house, but they are at the same
time useful in destroying bedbugs,
especially in ships and in the tenemeuts
of our large cities. There are several
species known under the general name
of cockroach, but perhaps the most COM
mon is the BIatta orientalis, a native of
the East Indies, but now pretty well dis
tributed over the world, and perhaps
this is the one of which you complain,
but we are not certain in the absence of
specimens. In the Oriental cockroach
the females have only rudimentary wings,
end those of the males are slightly
shorter than the body. Tnis species
may be destroyed by placing phosphorus
paste in their hiding places or in the
rooms frequented by them at night. A
good way to wage war upon this pest is
to put little of the paste on bits of
paper and lay these about the room
where the reaches are most abundant
and late in the evening, after the family
have retired. Then let some one get up
early and gather up the poison and sweep
up the dead cockroaches which will be
found lying about on the floor. The
kitchen is the room usually most fire.
quented by the reaches; consequently is
the best one in which to poison them.
Repeat the operation as long as any dead
cockroaches are to be found. As the
young reaches will be Matching out as
long as there are any eggs left, it will be
necessary to use little poison once a
week for month or longer. We have
known badly infested houses to be en-
tirely cleared of these pests by the use
of phosphorus paste in the way we have
described. Most druggists keep this
paste on sale, for it is largely used tor
destroying rats, mice and other vermin.
