HOW TO POLISH A STOVE.

Women generally work twice as
hard as necessary owe; backing stove, !"
said lady whom we found one day en-
gagged in that unromantic occupation.
She had on pair of stout leather gloves
and was applying the blacking with the
round part of an ordinary shoe-brush,
which she said was lighter and therefore
much more easily welded than the us
ual stove brush. The other side of the
brush she used in polishing with light,
even stokes like an expert bootblack.
Il always keep soft paper bags from
the groceries tucked in this box nailed
up near the stove and every day slip
two or three over my gloved hand and
give rub the consequence is tha'
l only need apply polish once week.
Another little thing worth remembering
in regard to stove cleaning is to wipe
the dust from the stove thoroughly be-
fore you apply any polish. There is
always right and wrong way to do a
thing and the wrong way doubles the
task.-American Agriculturist.

The ..Seyen" In Neck yertebrw.

In recent study of the anatomical
structure of the neck, writes the author
of "Curious Notes." 1 was struck with
the remarkable fact that men and animals
alike are almost invariably provided with
seven neck vertebre or segmeats. Man
thus possesses this number in common
with the giraffe, whose extraordinary
elongation of neck is produced, not by
the introduction of other vertebre, but
by the greater length Of the normal num-
b.r-scven. The only exceptions to this
rule of seven are found in two species of
sloth, one of which has six and the other
nine vertebre, and in the Sirenia or "sea
cow" species of whale, which is also
provided with -segmented elonga-
tion or extension OF the spinal column.
In view of the fact that the seven in
vades every department of life, is it any
woI der that the Orientals have founded
regular system of philosophy based
upon that mystic number.-St. Louis
Republic.

Business is alive to great coming event, and
in the hurly-burly of its preparations for the
Columbian Exposition In 1893, too much is
already seen on the the streets OF a fanciful or
amusing nature, both superficial and catch
penny. There has been observed a void in the
line of the strictly useful, combining there
with instructive object lessonj and the beau
tiful in art. Books there may be by the score,
but tho experience of the Centennial Exposi-
tion at Philadelphia shows that the mass of

BAKED AND PoTTED PEARS.

Among fall fruits the pear holds an
important place, although its reputation
has suffered somewhat from improper
made to serve pears cooked, either as
sauce or canned.
The pear possesses some peculiar quail
tiles, and requires different treatment
from other fruits.
1t is the only fruit that is better for
being removed from the tree when green
and laid aside to ripen.
1t has no marked flavor Of its own, and
readily absorbs that of any spice or
fruit.
1t requires to be cooked much longer
than most fruits. When simply canned,
its only recommendation to most persons
is its looks; and the large, white, per-
fectly shaped halves do look nice, but
are tasteless and lnsipid.
Ripe juicy pears are delicious served
with sugar and cream. The pears should
be put on the ice until cold, peeled,
sliced thin, sprinkled with sugar, and
served Immediately.
Pears bake nicely and make very
rich dish. They require at least two
hours to cook.
Baked Pears, No. Wash and wipe
the pears, cut in halves, remove the core
and all imperfections; put in deep
earthen baking dish, cover with water,
and place in a hot oven. When soft,
add sugar and brown.
Baked Pears, No 2.-Select sound,
perfect pears; place in baking dish
with little water. Bake until thor
oughly done. When cool, remove the
skins, roll each pear in granulated sugar,
and arrange in glass dish. Serve
with whipped cream.
A housekeeper whose dishes always
prove acceptable and appetizing prepares
what she calls potted pears in this way:
Take nice ripe pears; do not peel but
wipe carefully; cover the bottom of
stone jar with pears, stems upward, and
sprinkle sugar over them, then set in
another layer of pears, sprinkle over
more sugar, and continue until the jar is
full. Put IN pint and half of water
to every gallon of fruit. Cover the jar
close, and set in slow oven two hours.
Housekeepers remote from markets,
who are obliged to buy their supplies
of fruit canned, will find the pears much
improved if treated in this way: Re-
move the fruit from the can, and if the
pears are soft enough for broom straw
to pass easily through them, drain off
the juice and set the pears aside. Put
the juice in porcelain kettle with half
pint of sugar and pint of water. Tie
half teaspoonful of ground cloves in
piece of thin muslin, and throw into the
syrup, which should be boiled until it
looks thick and rich. Then put in the
pears, and cook ten minutes. Carefully
remove each piece of pear with wooden
or silver spoon to glass or earthern jar,
pour the syrup over them, and cover
tightly until cold. The bag of cloves
should be removed before the pears are
put in the syrup.-Harper's Bazaar.

SKIM MILK FOR COLTS.

one of the worst things to contend with

They breed mare that is not good for
anything else and to a sire that don't

wants. When you get horse that some
one wants there is some ones good
money to pay for it. The horse most in

feed him on the skim milk along with
his mothers milk. In this section far
mers generally produce colt and wean
him as he is coming into the face of a
northern winter. At the farm of Miller

raising colts; and Mr.. Sibley told me he
considered it worth fifty cents per hun
dredweight for that purpose. Hoard s

CHURNING BY MACHINERY.

Where the churning of the cream is
done by hand it entails a most arduous
task upon some member of the farm
household, and in many cases it falls to
the lot of the housewife. During the
summer, where from three to five COWS
are kept, there is half an hour of this
heavy work every day. There Is often
large dog watching the operation of
churning that he may obtain his usual
fill of buttermlk. A treadmill can be
obtained for few dollars, and the dog
made to do the work, and you NAV
watch the operation or devote your time
to other household duties. With the
improved, or even the common powers,
dog, weighing fifty pounds, can do the
churning OF the cream from five cows,
and not injure himself. Such work in
hot weather should be done early in the
morning while it is cool. The butter
churned then will be firmer. If the dog
is treated kindly, and petted, he will
gladly do the work and be ready at the
call, or appear as soon as preparations
are observed for the operation. Calves,
sheep and goats are often used in tread
mills, but the dog is the most cleanly and
is best adapted to the work. Human life
is too short to spend much of it manip.

when other power is so plentiful. An

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
ABOUT AIRING BEDS.

In airing beds the most thorough, care
full housekeeper often errs through her
very thoroughness. She will shake the
sheets, blankets, etc., and hang them
out of the window and over chairs, hav-
ing them all exposed as much as possible
to the direct rays of the sun and in the
strongest breeze, and this is just what
should be done. Then the pillows will
be taken up and shaken and thumped
until they are fluffy and placed in the
very sunniest spot, and this is all wrong.
The sun will draw the oil from the
feathers, and the pillows will have a
rancid, disagreeable odor. Expose them
to the air daily; be as thorough as you
please in this, and place the pillow slips
in the sun il you wish, but do not make
the mistake of giving pillows, holsters,
cushions or anything containing feathers
a long sun bath, or you will do them
more harm than good.-New York

cAuLrFLowER IN VARIOUS WAYS.

Nomore delicious vegetable exists than
the cauliiower, which has within the last
dozen years become so cheap, though
formerly considered luxury. Cauli-
flower is now in market all the year
round. In the spring months it is
brought to New York from England,
but the British vegetable does not have
the flavor, after Its sea voyage, Of the
caulifower picked in the Long Island
gardens under the hands of skilled cul-
tivators.
There are mary delicious ways of
cooking this vegetable besides the fa-
miliar one of boiling it and serving it
with cream sauce. An excellent way is
eau gratin." To prepare a caulidower
this way, select a large, fiue one. Tear
off the leaves, pick the fiowerets apart,
cut off the roots, and wash it thorough
ly in cold water. Then put in sauce
pan in abundance of cold water. Add a
handful of salt and let the vegetable
cook for thirty minutes after it begins to
boil. When it is cooked, drain it, put
it in baking dish, and have ready a
cream sauce, made by mixing table,
spoonful of -four with two tablespoon
fuls of butter, stirring in two cups of
milk with salt and pepper. Let the cream
sauce cook ten minutes after making it.
Add three tablespoonfuls of grated Par
mesan cheese, and pour it at once over
the caulihower in the baking dish.
Sprinkle over the caulifower three more
tablespoonfuls of Parmesan cheese, a
tablespoonful of fresh bread crumbs and
few bits of butter. Let the caulifower
bake in quick oven for about twenty
five minutes, when it should be rich
brown all over.-New York Tribune.

TRAINING GRAPE VINES.

A wire is better than strips or poles.
The little tendrils seem to be able to
grasp and hold to the wires better than
to wooden poles or strips. Another
item is of Importance, and that is to
have the wires stretched reasonably high.
This admits more air and better circu-
Iation underneath, and in this way lessons
the danger of rot or mildew, while at
the same time it affords better oppor-
tunity of working and cultivating around
the vines. Generally two good vines
will be sufficient, and the top wire can
be five feet from the ground. Good
stout stakes will answer at each vine if
Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1892-10-21

good stout posts are set occasionally and
they are well braced and then care is
taken to stretch and fasten the wires
tight.
Care must be taken each year to prune
severely. The greater part of the prun-
ing should be done in winter, when the
weather is mild, and before the sap starts
in the spring.
Some pinching Lack can always be
done during the summer when needed.
While the soil should be rich, it is
easily possible to have it too rich, and
the plants make too heavy growth of
wood at the expense of fruit. Potash
fertilizers are especially valuable. Old
vines, pieces of leather and wood ashes
can nearly always be applied with bene-
fit. With young vine care must be
taken at first not to allow it to mature
too much fruit. Nearly all young, thrifty
vines will set more fruit than it should
be allowed to mature. The remedy is to
thin out some after the fruit has set. A
good sprinkling of air-slacked lime or
copperas under the vine is good pre-
ventive of mildew. Spraying In good
season will often aid to prevent rot.
During the early part of the season,
and especially with young vines, thor
ough cultivation should be given, keep
ing the soil in good tilth and clear of
weeds and grass. The greater part of
the work can, of course, be done with
the horse cultivator, but some work will
need to be done with the hoe, if clean
cultivation is given around the vines.
Care must be taken not to prune too
much while the vine is growing. The
plants breathe through the leaves, and if
too many of these are taken off while
growing the plant will be injured

PROGRESS IN DEALING WITH FRUIT INSECTS

PROGRESS IN DEALING WITH FRUIT INSECTS
DR.. G. V. Riley read at the late meet
ing of the American Pathological Society
an instructive paper on "Recent Ad-
vancesin Dealing with Insects and Affect
ing Fruits" In this he discusses the
methods of combating the plum cur
culio, codling moth, red scale, fluted
scale, and other injurious insects, giving
the result of recent experiments on those
insects. Contrary to the expressed opin-
ioEs of many horticulturists, DR.. Riley
questions whether more injury is Done
to-day to our fruits than was done fifty
or one hundred years ago. In fact, it is
patent that with the advance made of
late years in our methods of warfare
against these fruit insects, less injury re-
latively is done; but as the area of fruit
culture increases, so does the aggregate
of injury and also the number of species
that we have to contend with. He
warned pomologists to be on their guard
ageinst two foreign insects, likely soon
to appear in this country-the peach
coratitis, sub-tropical insect, resem-
bling the apple maggot, which is ex-
tremely destructive to the peach crop Of
Bermuda, and likely to be troublesome
if it once becomes established in Florida
and Georgia, and the japanese peach
fruit worm, which is allied to our ood-
ling moth, and in some seasons damages
ninety per cent. of the peach crop of
japan. He suggested that provision be
made for the inspection, at ports of entry,
of fruits and plants received from any
part of the world from which we know
danger threatens. .-American Farmer.

KEEP CLOSE WATCH ON THE SHEEP.

1t is provefb among shepherds,
"Count your sheep every time you see
them" This is the only safeguard
against trouble, and when one is missing
it should be hunted up without a
minutes delay. When the weather is
hot the sheep are subject to diarrhea,
which quickly becomes dysentery, and
this il, infectious and hardly curable.
A sheep thus suffering is apt to be fly
blown, and there is no more miserable
sight than such a sheep. Any amount
of trouble is repaid by an escape from
such a calamity. Medicine alone will
not stop an attack of diarrhea; absti-
nence from food, until it can be digested
by the restored stomach is as necessary
as medicine, and no astringents should be
used for this trouble. A mild laxative
and mucilaginous food are the best
remedies. Agriculturist
