Electricity on the Farm.

I An interesting example of electricity
rs applied to farm work is now IN
operation at Scotch farm. The whole
of the usual farm machinery, such as
threshing, sowing, corn threshing and
the like, are here driven by an electric
motor. The electricity is generated
by water power, the turbine wheel
which drives the dynamo being about
1000 yards from the farm. The electric
current is conveyed by underground
wires to the house and farm, in each
of which storage battery is placed.
These supply the electric current for
lighting and motive purposes when
the machinery is not working. The
whole of the mansion is illuminated
by electric light, and an electric motor
is provided for pumping the water for
domestic purposes. New York World.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Lettuce is good food for the poul-
try.
Do not feed the poultry unless they
need it.
The eggs should be gathered at least
twice daily.
A good dust bath is necessity for
healthy fowls.
Give the chickens plenty of fresh
air and sunshine.
Milk, either skim or butter, is ex-
cellent for chickens.
Pigs grow we'll on grass, clover being
especially good for pasturing them
me amount of eggs laid is largely
governed by liberal but wise feed,
ing.
Filthy quarters are responsible for
the greater part of the so-called hog
cholera.
Give the hogs plenty of pure water
and they will not drink out Of their
wallows.
Cabbage, sunfower seed, millet and
sorghum are excellent feeds for
chickens.
Too much care cannot be taken dur
ing the warm weather to keep the slop
barrel sweet.
From five to seven pounds of evapo-
rated fruit can be secured from one
bushel of apples.
Apples from sprayed trees will keep
longer than those from trees that have
not been sprayed.
When plants are set in the ground
great care should be taken about water
ing. In the vast majority of cases
evening is about. the best time.

LOSS OF FEATHERS FROM HENS.

As hens in confinement often acquire
a habit of pulling feathers from each
others heads and necks, the loss OF
feathers is probably due to this cause
otherwise it is due to some disease
which may result from too free feed
ing with grain. The fowls should be
watched, and if it is not caused by the
mutual picking of each other, the
feed should be changed and more fresh,
green food, as cabbage leaves, cut
grass, or clover, or chopped lettuce
and pea vines, be fed to them. A mess
of scalded bran with little sulphur in
it will be good for the fowls. New
York Times.

HOW TO MAKE CHEESE AT HOME.

Have tinman solder n faucet near
the bottom of one end of an ordinary
tin wash boiler which will hold five or
inside about three inches from the
faucet and extending about the same
distance above it, which shall hold the
curd away from the faucet. This, with
long wooden paddle, is all you need
order especially for the work, except
cheese cloth, rennet and O cheese
press
Six pailfuls of sweet milk, with the
cream all in it, will make about fifteen
pounds of cheese. 1t need not be of
one milking if it is perfectly sweet.
Put the milk in the boiler on the stove
and heat it to eighty degrees. Remove
from the stove and add the rennet.
The tablets are easiest to use and the
directions accompany them. When
the milk has coagulated, which will
take place in ten minutes or less, it
must be cut to the bottom of the boiler
each way, making about two inch
squares. The whey will begin to start
almost at once. Sink small dipper
into it slowly, and the whey may be
removed gradually until two quarts or
more have been collected. Heat this
rather hot, not scalding, and pour it
over the curd, stirring it very care
fully. When at 100 degrees open the
faucet and allow the whey to drain
out, dipping it out from the top rs be-
fore described. When drained, sprinkle
half teacupful of dairy salt on the
curd and crumble and mix it thor
oughly with the hands. Have square
of strong, loosely woven cloth wet and
placed in the cheese hoop, which
should be the size of peck measure
Press the curd into the hoop, adjust
the cover, after the cloth has been
folded on the top of the curd, and sub.
NIT the cheese to gentle pressure.
Prepare bandage of cheese cloth
large enough to go around the cheese
and wide enough to nearly cover the
ends. Lay on the ends another piece
and sew to the piece around the
cheese. Keep at seventy degrees in q
dry room. Too much salt or too much
scalding when heating the curd hardens
the cheese, while careless stirring
starts the "white whey" and allows
much of the butter fats to escape. -

Protection Against Poison.

Most ancient kings and noblemen
relied, 20 some extent, at least, on
supernatural and magical means to
protect themselves against poison.
One kept peacock always near him,
because that bird rufled up its
feathers when any kind of poison was
brought near; another had cup and
plate set with opsls because this gem
was supposed to turn pale when
touched with poison; another IA
rhinoceros horn, which caused poison
Gus liquors to effervesce. One wore a
ring as a charm, another bracelet, a
third an amulet. Detroit Free Press

DIsHwAsHINa AT THE FAIR.

Every housekeeper who goes to the
Worlds Fair will want to see the dish
washing department in the Machinery
Hall. The dishwashing machines are
operated by girls and are used in
cleaning the tableware of the many
restaurants on the grounds. The
plant cost $4,000. The dishes are
washed in huge revolving horizontal
cylinders. Inside these cylinders, on
the outer edges of the wire cages the
cups and saucers are placed. Outer
revolving attachments carry warm
water up and dash it against the soiled
dishes, which are afterwards dried by
heat. New York Recorder

that worst of all cOmbats-strcCt war

the sight Of those flaming ruins, the

to restrain their fury. Their hearts
were hardened by many a bitter mem.
