OFF COLOR OF CHICKS.

If you procured eggs of pure-bred
fowls, and the chicks seem 20 differ and
appear of various colors, do not be dis
appointed, as the chicks will be of the
proper color when matured. OF the
black breeds of fowls, such as the Lang
shans, Black Minocras and Black Span
ish, the chicks nearly always have o
large proportion of white on them when
Matched. 1t is an old saying that the
more white on the chicks of such breeds
the blacker the plumage at maturity.
We have often noticed broods of
Wyandottes or Indian game chicks, no
two in the broods being alike, and diff
fering so greatly as to lead an mex
perienced person to suppose that the
chicks were mongrels; yet when they
came to maturity it was a difficult mat
ter to select the best one in the flock,
so far as the plumage was concerned.
Brahmas, Cochins, Plymouth Rocks
and other breeds may also be classed
among the uncertainties until the chicks
are well advanced, and for that reason
breeders often receive complaints from
customers in regard to their matches /;
but the breeders simply advise them
to wait while, when the matter rights

wonps OF ARcuprsuop IRELAND.

Archbishop Ireland in his great address at
the opening Of the Worlds Temperance Con-
gress in Chicago, said among other thsngs /.
my theory about the different methods of
temperance work is this There is the enemy
before us, menacing our homes, our souls,
society and religion, and say to the friends
of temperance, go at the enemy. One with
a gun, another with Krupp cannon, IL you
like, but hit him. l may have my own
special ideas and my own methods, but
never to speak an unkind word Of other
methods. As a matter OF fact we need all
those methods. We need moral suasion, for
without moral suasion laws are Of no ac-
count. Men make laws and observe laws
and enforce laws when they are themselves
convinced. We must speak to the feelings
and to the reason OF man. Then we need ro-
hgion. We need that moral strength which
only comes from the skies TO build up and
awake the poor trembling victim OF intem-
perance. And we need laws, because they
are the expression OF the moral and intellec-
tual convictions of our souls Where there
are no laws against evil there is the danger
that we do not comprehend the evils and we
need laws not because laws can create virtue
themselves, but to ward of the evil hand of
the enemy from individual and social virtue.
We need the laws as a protest against in
iquity. We need the laws TO defend the bull
warks OF society. When we unite and go
forth from this temperance congress with
resolve 10 live with a cordial amity and TO
deal, as well as can each and every one ofus,
the heaviest blows against alcohol, immense
results shall have been obtained"

TREATMENT OF INJURIOUS INSECTS.

In general, noxious insects must be

sprayed for codling moth and plum

plant lice may be numerous on plums
and cherries, which should be sprayed
with kerosene emulsion. In July, spray
potatoes with London purple or Paris

In August and September, cabbage
worms may begin to appear, and can
be treated by spraying with hot water,
or with pyrethrum in water, or as a

PROFIT IN PORK.

With pork at its present price, al
most any man can feed his corn, OF
other grain, TO pigs and make a salts
factory profit, declares S. Woodward,
of New York. But timeG will change
pork will again go down until it will
be SO low that the very best skill will
be required to get any profit out of its
growth. If it be wise, now in the
midst of almost universal peace, for
the Nations to spend such vast sums as
they do, in preparing for war, how
much wiser for the farmer during this
time of prosperity in pig growing to
study the subject so as to be prepared
when the evil days of low prices come
again. Ii is surprising to see how
little thought the average pig grower
gives to the matter Of cheap produc-
tion of pork. Although there is some

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, rs cabbage leaves, cut
grass, or clover, or chopped lettuce
and pea vines, be fed 20 them. A mess
of scalded bran with little sulphur in

Electricity on the Farm.

4 An interesting example of electricity
ms applied TO farm work is now in
operation at Scotch farm. The whole
of the usual farm machinery, such rs
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 n 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.

TIE VERDICT oF SCIENCE.

"When we remember" SAYS DIR. Ridge
that alcoholic liquors are not known to
have been used till centuries after the ap-
pearaDce OF man on the globe that all ami
mate creation below man lives and thrives
without them and that there have been and
still arc, millions OF our fellow-creatures of
both sexes and of all ages who live and move
and have their being without any such
liquors, think we are justified in saying
that they are in no sense necessary to healthy
life"
1t is a fact that no living animal or plant
can be supported ON such fluids on the con-
trary, they all become sickly, and perish un-
der such influence thus, for example, II you
put few ounces OF alcohol into n pail OF
water in which are living fish, you will find
that the fish will die in "A very short time.
"My opinion" says Sir John Hall. sis
that neither spirits, wine, nor malt liquor
is necessary for health. The healthiest
army ever served with had not "a single
drop of any of them"
Having now seen that alcohol is neither
food nor an aid to digestion, nor a necessary
OF life, the question may naturally be asked
what Is alcohol2 Alcohol is nothing more or
less than dangerous irritant and fatal
poison. And just as other deadly poisons,
such as arsenic, may in certain cases be used
in small quantities as medicine so also, IL Il
has any use AT all, the only legitimate use of
alcohol is as medicine. We Learn from all
standard books which trent on chemistry,
that alcohol is regarded and classed MS a
poison.

HOW TO MAKE CHEESE AT HOME.

Have tinman solder a faucet near
the bottom of one end of an ordinary
tin wash boiler which will hold five or
six pailfuls. Fit movable tin screen
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
q long wooden paddle, is all you need
order especially for the work, except
cheese cloth, rennet and a 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
ulluO5t ut OuCS. Olllk bIlh1 upper
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 etop as 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 a square
of strong, loosely woven cloth wet and
placed in the cheese hoop, which
should be the size of a 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 a 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 mucl
scalding when heating the curd hardens
the cheese, while careless stirring
starts the "white whey" and allowl
much of the butter fats to escape. -
