The Egg Plant.

The egg plant is of tropical origin, and
for this reason succeeds best at the south.
At the north the chief difficulty in grow
ing it is the shortness of the season. 1t
is only by starting the plants early and
maintaining a vigorous growth that the
large sorts can be fruited satisfactorily
When well grown and properly cooked
it is a delicious vegetable. The seed
terminates slowly and should be started
in hotbed. and it is important to secure
rapid and continuous growth from the
first, as the plants never fully recover
from check received when young.
When the plants are two inches high
they should be transplanted into Sec
ond bed or into pots.
Ferris directions are: when the plants
have formed two rough leaves, trans
plant to three or four inches apart. Keep
the bed closed and very warm, shading
from the direct rays of the sun. Gi~e
abundance of water until the ground is
warm, and all danger, not only from
frost but from cold nights. is past. Then
harden off by gradual exposure to the
sun. Carefully transplant into very
warm and rich soil, setting the plants
two and half feet apart.

The Model Apartment House.

The real model living for the working
people of cities will come when rapid
transit has made sufficient progress to
let each man live i'll cottage in the
country, and have Il little yard and gar
den of his own. But it will be years be-
fore that stage of civilization is reached,
and meantime the working people of
cities and large towns are being more
and more intentionally crowded. i,
Among the various ways that have
been devised for their relief, none will
effect it like the cooperative kitchen,
which should furnish cooked food to the
residents of modern apartment house
at rates as cheap as they could buy the
raw material and cook it for themselves.
The trouble with all the experiments of
this kind hitherto made is that the food
is too expensive for persons of even
moderate means to buy it and thus do
away with the fat kitchen. Yet every
fiat house might do exactly this. The
house that accommodated ten families
might have a great kitchen at the top or
in the basement-an airy. exquisitely
clean place under the charge of an &C.
complished cook. The food could be de-
livered to each fiat at the proper hours
by the dumb waiter, which now is be-
dragged by the hundreds Of little par
GELS hurled upon it by that unmitigated
nuisance of flat housekeeping, the grocer
boy.
By buying supplies in quantity, by
cooking in the best manner, SO that moth
ing would be wasted, and by looking after
small leakages, certainly food could be
supplied in the way mentioned to the
satisfaction and profit of all concerned.
Then if to the rest were added a general
laundry, to be used in turn by the vari-
GUS families, the satisfaction would be
increased. The inconvenient little fiat
kitchen, with its ashes and smell of
fried onions and its unpleasant laundry
tubs, would all be dispensed with. The
best part of the home would be left and
the worst part would be done away.

importance of the Hay Crop.

The importance of the hay crop to the
whole country at large and the individ-
ual farmer as well can scarcely be over
estimated. For hay of the best quality
In all respects, that made from timothy
grass stands highest in the public esti-
nation. Consequently this is the vari.
ETY. to cultivate when the highest price
that can be obtained from critical buy
ers is the object aimed at. Other varie-
ties often do better on certain soils, and
clover makes excellent hay when sue
cessfully cured. Besides, clover has d
value other than for hay, as renovator
of exhausted soils, that does not belong
In an equal degree to timothy or other
grasses that may be preferred for the
rack and manger,
In these days of improved farm nipple
ments it goes without saying that a
meadow should be smooth and free from
sticks, stones and other obstacles of ev'
cry kind that would interfere with the
running and operation of machine
The seed sown should be free from those
of weeds or of other varieties, unless 6
mixture of grasses is intended, as i.
sometimes the case. For most purposes
the value of timothy hay is increased by
deferring the cutting until the seed il
ripe enough to grow. Curing without
exposure to rain is important with al
varieties if the hay is to be of the best
To secure this condition beyond any per
adventure every farmer should have {
sufficient number of hay caps ready TO
an emergency. Caps made from heav,
unoiled muslin, if smoothly drawn dow
over well formed haycocks, will be suf
ficiently protecting, and such are cheal
and easily handled.

New States Yet to Come.

At most there are tive-New Mexico
Arizona, Utah, Oklahoma and Alaska
This closes the list, unless Indian Terri
tory should desire to come as state and
be one of us in course of time, IN that
case there can yet be six new states.
Alaska is out the question at present,
however, owing to reasons which may
prevail permanently. New Mexico is the
most promising candidate for statehood.
1t has now a population of nearly $780,,
900, containing more people than the
states of Idaho and Wyoming combined.
New Mexico has magnificent prospects

stock, mining and manufacturing. The
mongrel greaser population which used
to be set down against its account is
rapidly being transformed before the
all conquering Anglo-SaXon.
Utah cannot come in because of he1
polygamous religion. Otherwise she
would make good state. Then there
is Arizona, with a population of 10000.
Arizona has been an organized territory
for thirty years, and a year ago adopted
state constitution. When irrigation

Profitable Poultry.

An Illinois farmer said at one of the
state institutes: 1--WE used to think that
hens on the farm were simply a neces-
sary evil. but learned that with proper
care they were quite the reverse. Last
year kept ffty-five pullets and got an
average of twelve dozen eggs from each.
Those sold at an average of twenty-five
cents dozen, which gave me three dol
lars for each hen. think hens pay well

be looked after. White Leghorn chicks

Many years ago we had few Canada
thistles and thought they might be de-
stroyed by cutting with scythe in Au-
gust and preventing their going to seed.
We worked at it faithfully for about ten
years. They increased steadily, until it
took several days to cut them in pasture
Then | concluded to salt stock on them,
especially sheep. | had one large patch
of half an acre thickly grown. On this |
sowed salt thinly, on others dropped a
pinch, commencing as soon in May as
thistles could be found. They were eat
en- readily, the sheep gnawing into the
ground. In one week new shoots sprang
up. These were sailed, and SO on through
the summer, and few appeared in the lat
ter part of summer. The spring follow
ing none appeared in the patch except
around the outer edges, where found a
bakers dozen. Small children did the
most of the sailing and finding of this
ties on 100 acres, and in one year we
could not find enough to salt the sheep
on. In meadows they must be cut often
to prevent leaf growth, on the same prin-
ciple, as the roots cannot live if top
growth is prevented.

Measures Used with View to Circunh-
venting This Serious Pest.
Professor j, FL, Comstock and his fs-
sistant, Of Cornell University AgricuA-
tural experiment station, have pub
ished very full and careful bulletin
ON the subject of wireworms, The bulk
of the bulletin consists of an account Of
an extensive series of experiments for
preventing the favages of these insects
or for destroying them in their different
states. The preventive experiments
were conducted entirely in the direction
of protecting seed. The following sub
stances were used: Paris green and
-four, tar, salt solution, copper solution,
chloride of lime and copperas solution,
kerosene oil, turpentine and "a strychnine
solution The details of the experiments
show that no practical results are likely
to be obtained in this direction.
The results of the experiments for the
destruction of tho larvae show that it is
not worth while to attempt to starve out
the worms by leaving land in fallow
through the season; that the growing OF
buckwheat, mustard or rape upon in:
tested land does nos rid it of wire,
worms, Kerosene emulsion and pure
kerosene, as well as crude petroleum,
while moderately effective are not rec.
commended on account of their cost. The
killing power of salt, kainit, niuriate o.
potash, lime, chloride of lime and gas
lime upon the Larvae was carefully
tested with the result that salt was found
to be the only substance from which
any practical results were obtained
Used at the rate of eight tons per acre
the worms will be destroyed, but there
will be no chance for vegetation fol
some time afterward, and as matter
of course the remedy will be so expen
sive as to preclude its use except upon
very valuable land. So far in the course
of the experimentation against the
larvae scarcely any practical results
have been obtained, but the work agains
the adult beetles was more satisfactory
Fall blowing is shown to destroy The

THE LONDONDERRY SITTER,
Educational Changes.

Fifty years ago there was only one
course in the college-the classic one.
Every student was obliged to take Latin
and Greek, every student was obliged
to swallow mathematics, along with
SOMEBODY'S logic and some other persons
Evidences Of Christianity. The result
was man of severe, narrow mind;
thorough as far rs Greek roots and trig.
onometry went, but of no more prac-
teal use than fly in wrestling with the
vast material problems that confront us
here in America. About the miracles
and magic of the book of nature, about
ventilation, sanitary engineering, the
right kind of food to put into his own
stomach, he knew not half so much as
the bee or the beaver,
Well, let us be thankful we are
evolving-slowly, it Is true, but yet
evolving-~out of this musty, old book
ish age. The colleges are one after an
other adding largely to their elective
courses, and letting the student choose
the studies that belong to his brain by
nature. The changes are in the direc.
ton of additions to the courses in prac:
teal science and mechanics, and Of
dropping out the useless Greek and
Latin that blinded the boys and made
them stoop shouldered dyspeptics. Co.
lumbia college, in New York city, has
lately made sweeping and radical
changes in this direction, and is to be
congratulated. Even colleges are be-
ginning to find out that the least of edu.
cation is book stuffing.

Stead ON Gladstone.

W.. T. Stead's character sketch for the
May number of The Review of Reviews
is devoted TO Gladstone, When the
Nineteenth century shall have taken its
place with the past, altogether tho most
remarkable character in some respects
ON which its leaf folds down will be
William Ewart Gladstone He will be
remarkable because he shows how the
most distinguished statesman Of his
time can preserve to extreme old age all
the mental powers and most of the phys
ical power he possessed at fifty.
Stead tells us, SO far rs anybody can,
the secret of it, To begin, Mr.. Glad
stone has always had excellent health.
Next, he has always taken excellent care
of himself. When these two things are
said all has been said that need be in
regard to his extraordinary physical vi
tality. He goes to bed when he feels i'll
and stays there till he is well, Remain.
ing in bed is great remedy with Mr.
Gladstone. Then comes vigorous exer-
else in the open air, with, Of course, the
Englishman's cold morning bath.
First among the mental qualities of
the q. o. M. one might perhaps reckon
the power of going to sleep, for this is a
mental power as much as that of men,
DRY. No matter what cares press upon
him, Gladstone can dismiss them all the
moment he touches the bed and wink off
into slumber This of itself is proof OF
greatness. Then comes the order which
is prominent trait of his mind. His
own mind is orderly in its workings and
he knows how to get the best out of all
his subordinates, whether in Liberal
cabinet or in his Office as stenographers
This is another proof of greatness-tc
get the best work out of those over whom
you have direction, and there is no surei
one than this. Finally comes Glad
stones memory, which Stead tells us il
almost terrible 1t makes it very bad
sometimes for those who attempt to dis
pute the q. o. Ms recollection of fact
This combination Of memory with greai
reasoning power is very rare indeed
Here you have the analysis of the quail
ties which make Gladstone great ant
keep him young. Go and acquire then
and you, too, will become great ant

An Idea from the King of Siam.


A hot weather invention that emanated
from the brain of his black majesty,
Somdetch Phra Paraminde Maha Khoul-
alonkorn |, king of Siam, is worth re-
peating in the hot weather days that are
approaching in America. King Khoul-
alonkorn has had constructed for him
self water tight glass house. 1t reveals
through its sides when it is submerged
all the fishes and queer creatures of the
sea, and the sea serpent disports around
it in his innocent gambols in the green
waters. Ventilating pipes lead from the
glass house upward to a sufficient dis
lance.
When Khoulalonkorn's wives get
quarreling so that life ceases to be worth
living, and the cares of state press upon
his noble brow unduly, and his treasurer
cannot meet the debts that have been
incurred to supply the kings little lux
uries, then Khoulalonkorn gets into his
glass house, puts in there eating, drink
ing, smoking materials and French
novels, closes the water tight door and
bids his menials let go the house and
drop it into the inward parts of the
great waters. There, all nice and cool,
Khoulalonkorn reposes in underwater
refuge and waits till the clouds roll by.
1t is to be hoped his majesty will
bring his underwater glass house to
America with him when he comes to
the Worlds fair, so that Mr.. Jay Gould
and the new president of the United
States, also the one armed man, who
married eight wives, may take pattern
from it.
