a yard to make stylish Virot bow.

firmly in the fingers and the left ones
are turned over the right ones, form.

bunch of flowers or q low buckle of

the way, this pointed erect of the loops

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Skins of Fruit.

The skins of fruit should never be
eaten, not because they are not pal
atable or digestiblo or are unhealthy
in themselves, but on account of the
danger arising from microbes which
have penetrated into the covering Of
the fruit. Everybody has noticed that
at times slight scratch will create q.
considerable sore on the human body.
1t is generally ascribed to an un-
healthy condition of the blood, but o
close microscopical examination will
show that it is due to the presence OF
microbes thus introduced into the sys-
tenn. SO with an apple, a peach, .
pear, or a grape. The fruit may ba
perfectly sound and healthy, but ON
the skin or covering may be microbes,
which, introduced into the human,
system, will breed disease. These
germs are not uncommon, neither are
they always present. Itis possible to
eat tsis covering without injury, but
the danger is such that it is>best not
10 incur the risk. Louisa Post.

The Sioux Dinner Pot:

There IL worry peculiar custom
among the Sioux indians, said Eman.

Indians take kindly to European cook.
ing utensils and aids to comfort, and
1t is quite common for an exploring or
picnic party to trade off kettles, fry.
ing pans and the like for skins or curl.
osities. A cooking utensil thus sc-
quired becomes practically the com
mon property of the tribe, on the
general understanding, however. that
whoever borrows it shall pay for its
use by leaving in it portion of the
food cooked. As the Indians seldom
waste any time in washing or cleaning
eating or cooking vessels, this prac-
tice has some conveniences from
red mans point of view, and often
a saucepan IL returned with quite a
large quantity of meet or potatoes
clnging to the bottom and perhaps
covering up some of the remains of a
preceding and entirely different prep,
aration
"It Is not long since that an explor-
ing party l was out with lost it's ket-
tie, which had evidently jolted out of
the wagon on the bad road. After
considerable hesitation, one was bor-
rowed from friendly squaw, and,
after the weter had been boiled in it
three or four times, and it had been

swered its purpose admirably. When
we were through with the kettle,
We thoroughly cleaned it again
and returned it, and it was not until
an Indian guide explained the custom
that we understood the look of su-
preme contempt which came over tho
red lady's face when, on looking into
the inside of the kettle, she saw that

evening feast. st. Louis Globe

lily manured and worked up to a
depth of at least ten inches. Trenches
are then opened up to a depth of nine
inches with plow. The plants should
be set about three feet apart in these
trenches, and enough earth packed
about the roots to cover them well,
and the harrow will complete the Job,
throwing in little additional earth
upon them ~ il is drawn lengthwise
over the rows. This work may be done
in the fall or spring. At the end of
the season the trenches will be
partially covered in and during the
next year may be cultivated level,
leaving the roots eight or nine inches
below the surface of the ground.
Every spring the whole surface should
receive thorough cultivation with the
plow and harrow, and be we'll ma

who has had eminent success in grow

In summer a oood nr;c. :. n.;a ,or

In summer q good price is paid for
large chicks. Last year roasting
chicks of about two and q half to
three pounds each sold at eighteen
cents a pound as late as October, and
twenty cents is the usual price from
June to October. This means that
chick of such weight, if Of good quail.
ty when dressed, will bring fifty
cents, or dollar per pair. What the
cost may be depends upon circum-
stances. Under some conditions the
food should cost almost nothing. If
grats, seeds and insects are abundant.
and the chicks can have access TO run
or field whore they can assist them
selves after they are abandoned by the
hen that hstched them, the cost will
at least be at q. minimum. Experi.
ments have demonstrated that the
food required to produce a pound
OF poultry meat should not ex.
ceed five cents. In the summer sen
son three cents viii cover the cost a
the increase of each pound in weight.
If the chick reaches two and O half
pounds weight the cost for food
should not exceed eight cents. Will
1T not pay then to expend eight cents
to procure fifty cents? Granting that
the chick may sell for only ten cents
pound, there is still a large profit
In proportion to food consumed.
Many farmers are frightened at the
low prices without considering the low
cost OF food and the small amount of
labor required, and they cease hatch.
ing chicks after warm weather sets in.
which Is the very time they are in the
best condition for meeting success. IL
will be worthy of an experiment this
summer TO hatch large number for
the market.
Corn will make the hens lay in the
winter. but il detrimental to laying IN
the summer. A small allowance of
corn may do no harm, but when the
very warm days come il is too heat
ing. When hens are laying they are
capable ofutIlizing food for producing
eggs, but when on the range they have
no difficulty in securing all they de-
sire. When hens ore confined in yards
and fed on large ration of corn daily
and are also exposed TO high degree of
warmth, they are liable to die from
apoplexy or from overheatinS the
body. This is especially the case with
large breeds that are in very fat con-
dition. Corn possesses but very
small proportion of mineral sub
stances, and is too stimulating as n
summer food. IL the hens are kept
in enclosures it is better to feed them
lean meat and ground bone once
day, with plentiful supply OF
chopped grass, especially of clover,
