BLASTING STUMPS.

The reasonable prejudice against the
common use of dynamite for any kind of
work on farm, or by inexperienced per-
sons, makes 1t desirable to use the COM
mon black powder for such purposes.
This is not really SO safe as the dynamite
when in the hands of experts, but safer
otherwise, and persons generally under
stand it better. To break up stumps
with blasting powder proceed as follows:
Bore a hole l ] inches wide into the
centre of the stump in such direction
as to reach the middle of it near the
root; charge it in the usual manner,
using plenty of powder, one foot in
depth at least for large stump; pro-
cure a screw with hole through it for
the fuse, and square head by which it
may be screwed down on to the powder.
Fire the fuse, and the stump will be
shattered so that it can easily be taken
out in pieces. A lookout for the screw
should be made when the explosion takes
place, and it may be picked up and used
again. 1t may be we'll to put some dry
sand on the powder under the screw. 1t
is most often the case that the screw 1e-
mains in the wood and can be split out
of it.-NeW York Times.

By the friction of the lowermost por-
tons of the glacier over its rocky bed,
together with the rise in temperature in
the milder belt below the snow line,
vast caverns are melted. These caverns
have been explored at the immense risk
OF the lives of the explorers, because the
weight of the superintendent may cause
the collapse of the walls at any moment.
In the year 1851 couple on their bridal
tour visited the Mer de Glace, and feel
ing, no doubt. that nothing in nature
could interrupt such happiness as theirs,
ventured into one of these caverns.
They had barely entered the first arch,
the husband supporting the young wife
over the slippery surface CT the floor,
when there was a dull roar, fash of
broken ice particles in the morning sun,
and the poor lovers we're entombed.
Their bodies, clasped in each Others
arms, were found some two years later,
at the foot of the glacier, in perfect
state of preservation. The young wife's
face was lifted toward the Bonded face
of her husband, with a touching expires
sion of trust in his courage and strength
to save her from the impending doom.

behe!d this solemnly beautiful picture in

SCOT TEA FOR PLANTS.

One of the best fertilizers for pot
plants is SCOT. 1t not only nourishes the
plant, but keeps the soil sweet, will
destroy all worms and insects, and even
rout the green fly. It is best used in a
liquid form. One tablespoonful of SCOT
to two quarts of warm water is a simple
way of making the tea. If one desires
to make it in larger quantities, put into
vessel holding fifteen gallons of water
a half peck of SCOT, and stir twice day
for week. Probably the better way is
to tie the SCOT securely in a coarse bag,
which is large enou yh to let the SCOT
swell and move about inside it. Throw
the bag into the water and allow it to
soak, moving it about occasionally, or
pressing it with stick to extract the
strength. AS the water is used out fresh
can be added as long as any SCOT remains.
Give the plants light doses of the tea
once or twice a week. Dilute if too
strong, because if used in too thick
state it will make the surface soil too
hard and dry.
SCOT mixed with twice its bulk of dry
earth may be used for a top dressing in
the garden with good results. New

the butter; this is covered with fine dry
salt, and the cover is fastened down.
Care is to be taken to exclude air by
covering and packing under the cover.
The tub is then kept in clean, dry,
airy place where no disagreeable smells
may affect it. Good butter thus packed
may De kept TO, six or eight months
without the least deterioration. The
jersey COWS make good butter, which
has high color, and some of them make
a good deal of it, but the best are too
costly for common use. A good, we'll
fed Ayrshire cow is as good for butter
as jersey for working dairy. Some
Durham or short-horn cows are good
butter makers, and good judge of
cows might get dairy of the common
stock that would be very good If well
selected. The best common COW is
half-bred Jersey having good common
dam and pure sire. Some OF these
are as good as the pure bred.

What a Cup of Chocolate Can Do.

An enthusiastic lover of chocolate af-
firms that for those who wish to keep
the imagination fresh and vigorous choc-
olate is the beverage of beverages. How
ever copiously you have Iunched a cup
of chocolate Immediately afterwards will
produce digestion three hours after and
prepare the way for good dinner. 1t
is recommended to every one who devotes
to brain-work the hours he could pass
in bed; to every wit who finds he has
become suddenly dull; to all who find
the air damp, the time long and the at
mosphere lnsupportable; and, above all,
to those who, tormented with fixed
idea, have lost their freedom of thought.

TO KEEP BUTTER.

To keep butter several months it is
necessary that the butter be perfectly
we'll made and be completely freed from
all traces of the butterm!lk, or this will
quickly spoil it. 1t must then be packed
without delay in air-proof packages; a
glazed crock or jar is good package,
or new, clean white oak or spruce tub,
with tight fitting cover. This is first
soaked with water and little soda to
remove any acid OF the wood. It is then
we'll scalded and soaked with salt brine.
Then it is rinsed with pure cold water
and sprinkled with fine salt on the in
side. The butter is then packed in SOL
idly, each layer of four inches being we'll
packed, to leave no all spaces, and
sprinkled with fine salt. Then another
layer is packed in the same way. and so
on until the tub is full. a. clean cover
of cotton cloth is laid over the top of

HOW TO CHEAPEN FEEDS.

The prices of feed uiu fair to be high
the coming winter, and such will con-
tinue to be the case every winter, as long
as there is such a tremendous demand
for all sorts Of millstutfs, on the part Of
dairy farmers, all over this broad land.
The dairymen are all right in their ideas
of feeding we'll, but they are all wrong
in not growing more Of their own feed.
Wheat is way down to the lowest notch
we have seen in thirty years, and bran
climbing up IN price every day. We are
not certain but those farmers who are
we'll situated to do it had better buy the
wheat by the car load and get it ground
at the custom mill, and feed the bran
and middlings, selling the -four for what
they can realize.
If we were in Northern Dakota or
Minnesota we would not sell wheat at
fifty cents bushel, If we had good COWS
to feed it to, and butter thirty-one cents
a pound in Chicago. We believe there
are four pounds of butter in bushel of
wheat fed to a good COW, with good
roughage in addition. Bnt whether IN
the Dakotas or New York, everywhere
the dairy farmer is at the mercy of the
feed vender. This would not be so if
the majority set seriously to work to
produce their own feed, IN some form or
other. The mischief is, the most of far
mers stop feed when prices of feed go
high, no matter what the price of butter
is. What lot of education we all do
need on this feed question. There is so
little real fguring-so little really studied
out by the dairy farmers by which they
can figure. The way to bring down the
price of feed stuff is for more farmers to
go at growing peas and silage corn. Not
one man in thousand knows what he
could do if he should try.-Hoarl's
Dairyman.

The hope is entertained that science
may vet be able TO subdue the a. flaming

cancer may not only indicate that it is
an organic growth. but almost certainly
proves that il is liable TO the attack OF
another parasite. Better acquaintance
with the relations of these parasites may
possibly bring the long sought method
of arresting cancer.-Detroit Free Press.

Kid gloves are not made OF kid; in

are not kid and neither are the dearest
ones. Ladies gloves that cost under a

are all made of lamb skin. 1t is likely
that gloves paid for at a higher price
