He First Flew the Stars and strines.

The flags used by the Colonial troops
during the first two years of the Revolu-
tio1ary War were Of various designs.
The New York forces use3 the orange,
white and blue Of their Dutch ancestors;
the Connecticut regiments the three
grapevines; some Of the other New Eng
land troops the rattlesnake flag, and yet
others, the Pie trse flag, a modification
of which had been used At Bunker Hill.
The first flag used in naval warfafe bore
9 black rattlesnake On a yellow ground,
and was thrown to the breeze by Commo-
dore Hopkins early In 1878. On June
Il. 1777, 4 committee, Of which John
Adams was the best known member, sub
mitted to fhe Congress of the country a
report fer a National flag, which was
unanimously accepted without discussion,
and our present flag was then adopted,
with the exception, Of course, of the
number Of stars On September Sd of
the same year formal announcement of
its adoption was made to the country.
The first public display of this flag was
made by John Paul Jones, who ran it up
to the masthead of the Ranger at Ports

A sAvoRY VEAL PIE.

A veal pie is improved by adding a
little ham, say one-hslf pound to a
lknuckle of veal. Just cover the meat
with water, put in one small onion, and
simmer one hour, Cut four potatoes In
to slices, cutting across the potato, and
cook them separately until they can be
pierced by a fork At the end of the
hour cut the veal from the bones and let
ct simmer an hour longer. Line a deep
bakipg-dish or tin with plain paste, and
cut the ham into dice. Into the bottom
of the dish put a layer of potatoes, a
lsyer of the veal with a few bits of the
ham, a sprinkIing of chopped parsley,
salt and pepper. When the materials
ARE all used, roll out the top crust and
cut a hole in the centre. Lay over the
dish and press down at the edges. Bake
in a quick oven until the crust is a trifs
brown, then put a funnel in the opening
In the crust, and pour in a hot sauce
made from an ounce of butter, two
ounces of -four, and half a pint of the
broth of the meat. Season the sauce
with salt, pepper, and chopped parsley.

Expensiye Ghessmen,

The New York Home Journal describes
a remarkable set Of chessmen that have
just been finished By a down East me-
chanic. The pieces are made of silver
and bronze. and the p=riod of costume
and equipment is A. D. 1l94, all the
characters being historical and content
porary, and strictly accurate in very de.
tail Of heraldic blazonry and costume.
The knights are in chain mail armor,
with shield, az, sword and dagger.
Their fur coats have each the individual
blazon of the wearer. The queens wear
royal robes and carry scepters. The
bishops are in church vestments and
carry cross and crozier. The pawns are
men alarms in a kneeling posture, with
spear, bi!ihook and knife. The white
men are English, the black French. Tho
English King and Queen are Richard I.
and his Berengaria. The bishops are
Herbert Walter, Archbishop of Canter-
bury, and William Longchamps, Bishop
of Ely; and the knights are the Earl of
Salisbury and the Baron of Worcester.
The castle is Anglo Norman, and is q
perfectly accurate representation Of
feudal architecture. The French King
and Queen are Philip and lngeborg, his
Danish spouse, the bishops being De
Dreux and De Sully, of Beauvais and

CALF REARING,

A practical Stafford shire farmer, write
ing to the British Agricultural Gazette.
says that after thirty years. experience in
the rearing of calves on a large scale he
has found it the most profitable branch
of his business. II hardly needs to be
added that he has made a business of it.
that is to. say, gone about it in a sensible
and business-like manner, studying the
conditions of success, and neglecting
nothing likely to conduee to IT. Some
of his experience may be useful to others,
and he has set a good example worthy
of imitation in freely giving the public
the benefit of it. Calves, this gentleman
says, should never be allowed to lie out
in open pastures during the first year of
their existence, but should be brought
into yards or sheds every night and
allowed as much good old hay as they
will eat. They should also be given the
bucket the first thing IN the morning be.
fore they go out. For this latter pur-
pose he mixes them a Cruel made of best
Scotch oatmeal, at the rate of about a
p~enny-worth per day, mixed with half a
gallon of water, and given in v, shaped
troughs in the open yard, not more than
ten or twelve calves being allowed to feed
together. This prevents them from fill
ing themselves with stagnant ditch water
and a lot of unsuitable green food, by
which they get distended and liable to
various ailments, such as quarter i'll, red
water, and other things. The liquid
mixture is continued up to the middle
of November, when they are brought in
from the pastures and put on cake, adue
allowance Of which during the first win
ter is indispensable to the future growth
and we'll doing of every calf, whatever
it may be intended for. These few hints
may seem simple, but coming from a
successful, practical man they are thor

factory. The only means taken to Sc
cure drainage was to crown the roa lbsd
a little in low places. To make a gravel
road in this way over the greater part
of the same country would be a waste Of
money, for in most places the soil is a
black prairie loan, and the subsoil a
tenacious clay.
It has been found quite satisfactory
in most localities, having a black surface
soil and CLAW subsoil, to lay a drain Of
tile along each side, near the edge Of
the roadbed. This has been found a
better location than near the middle OF
the roadway, The Office of the tile is
TO carry of water brought Up from, he
low rather thar water sinking ID froa
above. n some localities j. is necessar!
to use three drains-one line Of tile be-
meath tbs center of the roadway and
one under each ditch at thu Idle. It
seems unnatural to put the tile under the
side bitches, but this location has been
proved best.
When the roadbed is to be graveled
or macadanized, the GROWING earth
foundation should be nicely snoothed
and then rolled until quite solid. It IS
well: also, in this case to put the clay
subsoil from the bitches on to the sur,
face. When rolled, it makes a hard,
smooth surface, almost i~mpervious to
water, and over which will dow, off to
the bitches at the sides, the rainwater
that may sink through the gravel or
macadam. When the surface is to be Of
earth only, the clay subsoil should be
kept underneath, and the natural soil be
placed on top. The surface soil will
usually afford much better drainage than
the subsoils, and make a better road
surface. American Agriculturist.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

A hen wants quiet while setting.
1t is good economy to feed milk to
poultry
Stone drinking vessels are cooler than
tin ones.
Brains without industry won't pay tas
mortgage of the farm.
Wheat is rich in material for growth
and stimulates egg-laying.
Young chickens especially are in
clined to crowd on the roosts; prevent
this.
The best remedy for the ravages of the
asparagus beetle is a hen with a brood of
young chicks.
Breed in June if you wish to have the
colt foaled so that both it and the dam
can be ready for new grass in the
spring.
If a change is to be made in the
rations of a chicken it should be done
gradually, SO that the system may have
time to adap; itself to the change.
A good part of the care necessary
with turkeys and ducks during the next
three months is to feed them enough to
keep them coming home regularly.
1t will be more comfortable for the
fowls during the warm weather if the
heavy wooden door be taken off its
hinges and one of line netting substi-
tuted.
A few extra dollars invested now in
the service of a irst-class stallion will
come back to you with interest within a
few months, in the much greater value
of the colt.
While ducks will remain all day on
the water, they should not be made to
sleep on damp floors. Plenty of straw
should be used and cold drafts should
be guarded against.
Much of the profit of the farm must
come from saving little things. In this
the chickens are a good aid. Tney pick
up and turn to account many items that
would other wise be wasted.
Eggs that have not been fertilizsd
keep the best, and for this reason if the
eggs are to be stored away 1T is a good
| plan to take away the BOOSTERS ten days
before commencing to save up the eggs.
The new crop of wheat will come up
on a market more nearly bare than for a
long time before. This would appear to
indicate a better price for the crop, but
prcphesying in such matters is uncertain
work.
While, if properly managed, the stor-
ing away Of eggs at this season for SELL
ing in the winter Can readily be made
profitable, there is always some risk. The
eggs do not bring as good prices as fresh
ones.

HINTS.


Il is best to save all egg shells to
settle coffee.
To remove stearine, in all cases use
pure alcohol.
! To remove grease from silk goods
wash away with ether.
In cooking tough meat or al old fowl,
add a pinch of soda to the water to make
it tender.
Pearl knife handles should be rubbed
with a salt rag dipped in fine table salt,
then polished with leather.
Finger marks may be renovei from
vanished furniture by rubbing well with
a veyg little sweet oil! on a soft rag.
A little soap and warm water applied
frequently is better for cleaning your
iacquered brass than all the cleansing
materials in tbs world.
To select a fish see that the fash Is

You can tell if a bed is damp by lay
ing you hand glass between the sheets
for a few moments. If the sheets are
not properly dried the glass will be

ROAD DRAINAGE,

The N1e thing necessary to a good
road-earth, gravel, macadan Or paved
lis thorough drainage of the founda-
ton, declares John M. Stahl, of Illinois.
Money has been misapplied in road -lnak-
ing because of neglect of thorough
drainage, = e when the money has been
used to build roads of a material that
should give them a permanent character.
On the Western prairies, where the nat
ural drainage is poor, undraine7 gravel
roads have suddenly become mud roads
when put to the severe test of a long
rainy spell in winter and early spring.
Not the least unfortunate result of this
has been a prejudice against gravel roads
in particular, and a scarcely less pro-
nounced distrust of permanent roads in
general. Lack of drainage was the real
cause of the failure.
Whether the road is to be of earth,
gravel or m~acadam, the earth roadbed
should be graded, Gro wning it twelve to
fourteen feet wide, and twelve to eight
cen inches higher in the middle than at
the edges. Along each edge should be
CUT a shallow ditch. This is a correct
general statement, which, of course,
should be modified to suit peculiar cir
c~umstances.. Thus, in a very billy
country, especially if the soil washes
easily, the bitches should not be cut at
the sides, a. they are not necessary, and
will become serious g%ullies. In a billy
country it is not necessary to crown the
roadbed so high, but the GROWING must
always be sufficient to insure ready sur
face drainage. Twelve TO fourteen feet
in width is sufficient. Making the road
wider has been found a needless expense.
With those soils and subsoils specially
well adapted to drainage, crowning the
roadbed and cutting the bitches at the
sides will secure the drainage; but where
the soil and subsoil are not favorable to
drainage, additional measures must DE
taken. In the country in which ! re-
side. 3 gravel road has been made for
twenty miles, near the Mississippi River
bluffs. This road is on 3 soil and a
subsoil decidedly g~ravelly, giving splen-
did drainage. This gravel road i now
