FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Gather the eggs twice daily.
Avoid placing strange broods to-
gether.
Better keep the late chickens by
themselves.
The pullets will do better without
the cockerels.
The Minorcas and Red Caps are
among the best layers now.
Thorough ventilation is necessary
to the successful keeping of fruit.
Cabbage heads should be hung up in
the poultry house for the fowls TO pick
at.
Get rid of your surplus cockerels
early and SO save feeding them at u
loss.
Bees never store honey in the light,
because honey thus exposed granu-
lates.
Study the foods raised on the farm
and use them for the purposes they
are suited for.
New and better blood will improve
the health of the fowls and the pocket
book OF their owner.
1t is said that rye feed gives good
color to the yolk of the egg and adds
richness 70 the flavor.
Don't let your fowls stand out III all
sorts of weather if you expect to make
any money from them.
On the pruning given tree during
the first few years of life depends the
future shape of the tree
Potassic manures are best for fruit
trees in general. Bone dust and wood
ashes are "A good mixture.
1t is best to begin III good season SO
ms to be ready to winter the bees in as
good condition as possible.
Give your hens gravel or some sort
uf gritty material if you would keep
them we'll and avoid Indigestion.
Fall is good time to prune almost
aay kind of tree, rs the wounds made
at this time will not produce decay.
If you would keep the young stock
growing steadily and rapidly, let them
have plenty of clean water at all times.
Do not spoil nice white honey by
storing it away in dirty-looking boxes,
especially if it is to be sent to mar
ket.
Commence in good season to gather
mp and store away in as good condi-
tion as possible all surplus combs and
boxes
The successful fruit grower must be
able TO tell what kind of insects are
injuring his tree, and apply the in
secticide that is most destructive to
them at once.
Al in beekeepins, he that can pro-
dnc2 the greatest crop is not the best
beekeeper; but he that can effect it
with the least expense ami marage to
sell it Mt good profit is the best.

FAIL FEEDING OF YOUNG STOCK.

Young farm stock, whether intended
for the slaughter or to be retained
upon the farm, should be kept grow
ing continually until nearly, if not
fully, the average size is attained.
Keep the animals in good pasture dur
ing the summer and during the usual
drouths of early autumn If an extra
growth of corn fodder to be used as a
daily feed is not attainable, then n
feed of grain should be given at least
once a day. During the cold, stormy
days that prevail before stock finally
go into winter quarters, the grain feed
should be maintained, and when
brought to the yard warm, comfort
able shelter be provided. Do not prac-
tice the foolish policy OF attempting
to see how cheaply one can winter
stock, that there may be more grain
and hay to sell in the spring. On the
contrary, give them the best of fodder,
if there be IL choice. This need not
necessarily be dealt ont in large guam
titles, but in amounts that will be eaten
up cleanly previous to the next feed
ing. A quart of ground feed fed daily
to calf or colt, or small handful to
each lamb, will greatly stimulate
growth and prove good financial in
vestment for the stock raiser. --Ameri-
can Agriculturist.

Studying a Rattler's Rattle.

The growth of the rattle of the
rattlesnake has been studied by Ger
man scientist, who finds that the rattle
is frequently shed; and, after being
shed (his snakes were kept in a very
warm room, in three or four months
two rattles were present, their ap-
pearance having nothing to do with
the casting of the skin. The snakes
were made to register the vibrations
of the rattle on smoked paper, and it
was found that the vibration was a
compound one, consisting of the
vibration of the tail as whole, and
of the rattle independently of the tail
vibrations. The approximate figures
of vibrations were, for the tail, seventy
five; of the rattle, 110 second

TOMed bY an Iceberg.

When interesting tales of adventure
at sea are told, Maine men always
take leading part Captain Chase,
of the bark f. o. Clark, son of Cap
tain Loring Chase, of East Machias,
now advances the claim of being the
only skipper whose bark was ever
towed by an iceberg. This experience
was enjoyed on late voyage from
Greenland to Philadelphia. The bark
was caught in drift ice and carried
many miles out of her course, but rode
out the experience in safety, line
having been made fast to one of the
nearest bergs to keep her steady until
several days later the wind changed
and the rope was cut, the vessel soon
freeing herself from the ice.-Lewis-

Atlanta Farmer. Whey, in the best
condition, only forms partial food !;
but whey that has become soured is
of no value whatever, as the sugar is
the only food ingredient it contains.
Calves carefully fed on sweet whey

oats, may be made to thrive and do

q sweet condition, and it might here
be mentioned that if whey is heated
to temperature of 100 degrees F. fer
mentation will cease.
Whey feeding must be done judi
ciously, and when the calf is taken
milk to whey must be made gradual

any skim milk, little faxseed Cruel

of milk decreases.
Always heat the feed, whether it be

MANY USES FOR SODA.

Tinware may be frightened by dip
ping damp cloth in common soda
and rubbing it we'll.
Very hot soda in solution, applied
with soft flannel, will remove paint
splashes. Use soda in the water to
clean paint and glass instead of soap.
Strong, tepid soda water will make
glass very brilliant, then rinse in cold
water, wipe dry with linen cloth.
Ceilings that have become smoked
by kerosene lamps may be cleaned by
washing off with soda water.
For cleaning oil paint before repaint-
ing, use two ounces of soda dissolved
IN n quart of hot water, then rinse of
with clear water.
A lump of soda laid on the drain
pipe will prevent the pipes becoming
clogged with grease; also, food the
pipes once a week with boiling water,
in which little soda is dissolved.
Wash white marble porches, bath,
etc, with mop dipped in boiling hot
water and soda A good deal of soda
should be dissolved in the water.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
CARPET SWEEPING.

With little care you can sweep the
dirtiest carpet without raising much
of dust by placing outside the door
of the room to be swept pail of clear,
cold water. Wet your broom, knock
it against the side of the bucket to
get out all the drops, sweep couple
of yards, then rinse off the broom
again. Continue this until you have
gone over the entire surface. If the
carpet is very much soiled the water
should be changed several times.

vENT1LATE THE CELLAR IN WINTER.


Most farm cellars have no partitions
Thus in one room are stored apples,
potatoes, other vegetables, the milk
and butter, together with the canned
fruits and meat. The cellar is usually
located directly under the kitchen and
sitting room, and not unfrequently
the bedroom, 1t is fact that unless
the fruit and vegetables are carefully
looked over every month there will be
II great amount of obnoxious vapor
constantly coming from them to con-
taminate the atmosphere, and being
lighter than cold air it will rise to the
rooms above. Hence it is best on
pleasant days to open the cellar doors
and windows for proper ventilation,
not leaving them, &C many do, tightly
closed from early winter until April.
Milk and butter quickly absorb the
odors from decaying vegetation, in
juring the quality and healthfulness.

USING oHLoRoroRM, ETHER AND NApHrHA.

USING CHLoRoFoRM, ETHER AND NAPHTHA
The best of the detergents for deli
cate colored silks is chloroform-but
it must be very carefully used, as aside
from the risk of inhaling too much of
the vapor it is inhammable. If used
at all it ought to be done out doors,
Lay the spotted surface right side
down upon folded clean cloth, pour
on chloroform enough to wet it thor
oughly, then dab it over with soft
cloth also wet in the liquid. After a
minute slip the spot onto a fresh space
of cloth, pour on more chloroform and
again dab it with the cloth held firmly
over your fingers. Turn it over quickly
and wipe off the right side with fresh
soft cloth.
Ether can be used in the same way
with quite the same precautions.
Both ether and chloroform are too
expensive save for the most delicate
and costly finery. For ordinary things
naphtha used In the same manner
answers excellently well. 1t leaves
more of a mark than the anesthetics
and has much more persistent odor.
Whatever You use test it on bit of
stuff, since nobody can say certainly
what the effect will be without know
ing the chemical reaction of the colors
it is to encounter. Chicago Record.

TO FRY FISH.

''Small fish should swim twice, once
in water and once in OIL" Perch,
brook trout, catfish and all small fish
are best fried. They should be cleaned,
washed we'll in cold water and immedi-
ately wiped dry, inside and outside,
with clean towel and then sprinkled
with salt. Use oil if convenient, as it
is very much cheaper than either
dripping or lard. Never use butter,
as it is apt to burn and has tendency
to soften the fish. See that the oil,
lard or dripping is boiling hot before
putting in the fish. Throw in q crumb
of bread; if it browns quickly it is hot
enough and the fish will not absorb
any grease. New York World.

Frank Kneisel, who is one of the
greatest concert-meisters, or leaders
of violins, in the world, has had years

sideration. He is not alone great

and orchestra player as we'll. What
Mr.. Kneisel earns in one year would
have kept poor. deaf old Beethoven
in luxury for his life. Aside from
the actual concert-meister, the Or
chestra must he equipped with at
least two equally as great soloists.
The men who play these in the BOs-
ton Symphony Orchestra are said to
earn $1,000 per annum. The others
come next in order, and their earn
ings range from S., 900 to So, 500 per
year. After the first violin comes
the first cello. who is also a great
soloist His earnings net him SO. 900
year. The i've other 'cellists In
this orchestra are also tirst-class, and
their earnings range from $4,000 to
So, 900 per annum. The leader Of
the second violins gets as much as the
third solo player. and his place is just
as important. The other second
violiQs earn from $40 to $50 per week.
The players of the difficult instru-
ments are even rarer and harder to.
get than the strings. and are also
well paid. First in line comes the
oboe, then the bassoon. the flute, and
the clarinet. The leaders of these
instruments earn from 1000 to So
