From the Somerville Journal
II you could always know,
When the door bell rings,
Just who it is that stands below

WASTE IN FARM UTENSILS.


1t is painful to ride through the
country and note the waste that is GO
ing on in farm tools, writes Z. l.. Vim
cent. Valuable mowers, binders and
reapers stand in the field all the year
round. Plows are left in the furrow
the whole winter long. Wagons are
housed under the caves of the barn or
out in more open places. Cultivat-
ors, drills, rakes, all kinds of utensils
are exposed to the weather summer
and winter.
Every man knows that piece of
wood left out of doors for any length
of time will decay. He knows also
full well that iron will rust. Paint is
short.lived. Unless renewed it soon
washes off and leaves the bare metal
exposed.
Frost and heat, dew and sunshine,
rain and wind, are most powerful
agents in the destruction of farm i'm
plements. One of these tools if we'll
made originally and cared for proper
ly should last a lifetime.
The careful farmer never leaves his

same way with the drill, the harrow,
the cultivator and even the hoe. |

forget and leaves his wheelbarrow ont
will get up in the middle of the night,
if he remembers his neglect, and put
it under cover. He cannot sleep if he
knows that the ladder or the AK has
been left out.
Were every man as careful rs this
man, the output of the manufactures
would be materially lessened and the
pocketbook of our farmers would be
thicker than it now is. Why not try
it?-New England Farmer.

The Kansas Wolf Industry.

In 1889 the Kansas Legislature
passed law authorizing counties to
pay bounties for wolf scalps. Nearly
every county in the state thereupon
offered reward of $3 or 81 for such
evidence that wolf had been killed.
Some counties are paying out as much
as $4,000 a year in this way, the total
in tho State amounting to $50, 900.
The coyote supply continues to be
surprisingly large. A correspondent
of the st. Louis Globe Democrat as
serts that some of the Kansas farmers
who find their farms Improbable have
gone into the business of wolf raising,
in order to eke ont livelihood. He
says: "By means OF wire fences, III
closures with ample burrowing
grounds are made. and here the crea-
lures increase with marvellous rapid
ity. The growth of a family OF kit
tens can only be compared to them.
For feed, the cheapest of meat is suffi-
cient, and rs nothing is required but
the scalp in order to draw n bounty,
the carcasses of the killed wolves are
used for sustenance for those not
ready for market The best sheep
that the prairie farmer can raise can
scarcely be sold for more than 81. TO
produce several litters of wolves II
year, each member of which is worth
from ss3 to 81, exclusive of skin and
carcass, Is, it is seen, very renumera-
tive. These wolf raisers also supple
ment their home supply by constantly
hunting on the plains. Parties are
formed which surround creek valleys
and ravines, beating the bush and
capturing, dead or alive, dozens of the
lank, gray beasts. The former go to
swell the cash accounts of the hunters
ana deplete that Of the county treas
ury, while the latter are added to the

DELICIOUS SANDWICHES.

The bread for sandwiches should al
ways be one day old at least, and must
be sliced very thin. The butter
should be soft enough to spread with
out crumbling the loaf, and the slice
should be spread before it is cut from
the loaf. Slices of rye bread buttered,
spread thinly with mustard and then
with cottage cheese are very palata-
BILE. For egg sandwiches beat your
eggs to paste after they have been
hard boiled. There should be little
cream added to them to make the
mixture smooth, and it must be sea-
soned to taste.
Fish sandwiches may be made from
any kind of fish. Whatever it is
after removing bones and skin-pound
it to a smooth paste, mix with it a
very little chopped pickle and season.
If 1T be a dry fish, mix with it also a
little melted butter or salad dressing
The thinly sliced bread spread with
salad dressing, on wnich are laid
water-cresses or crisp leaf of lettuce,
is most welcome addition to sum-
mer lunch. Then for sweets there
are sandwiches made with jellies and
jams. These may be spread on slices
of cake, wheat, graham or even brown
bread. Detroit Free Press.

jures the foliage of the plants upon
which it is sprayed. This is great
thing in its favor, for frequently III
using Paris green for potato beetle lGr-
vac and for the Goblin worms, rs much
injury results from the poison burning
the foliage as would result from the in
sect if let alone.
This is better insecticide than Paris
green under all circumstances and for
all insects, says Professor Fernald. 1t
has the advantage of being readily
seen on the leaves, SO that one can tell
at glance which have and have not
been sprayed, which is often of great
convenience. Being lighter than Paris
green, it does not settle so quickly,
and as result can be distributed more
evenly over the foliage. A great OBJ
lection to the use of Paris green is the
liability of using an overdose, and
thereby iniuring the foliage of the
plants sprayed. With the arscnate of
lead it can be used if necessary in the
proportion of twenty-five pounds to
100 gallons of water without injury to
the foliage. Professor Fernald advises
the addition of two quarts of glucose,
or if that can not be obtained two
quarts of molasses to each $50 gallons
of water, used for the purpose of caus-
ing the insecticide to adhere to the
leaves. He says the experiments last
season show that the insecticide will
remain on the trees for q long time,
even after quite heavy rains, and we
infer, prove effective The cost of
these chemicals is given as eight cents
per pound for arsenate of soda and
fourteen cents for acetate of lead, at
wholesale. 1t should be borne in mind
that these substances are all poisonous,
and should be used with as great care
as Paris green. n.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Probably the most cunning of all
animals is the mink. Two gentlemen
were fishing ON one of the rivers of
Maine. The fish were quite plenty
and as soon as one was caught it was
thrown behind on the grass. After
some time one of the gentlemen thought
he would take rest and at the same
time examine his capture. But he
could not find a single fish. He
charged his friend with having played
him trick, but the friend was as sur
prised as he
They now determined to watch their
next fish, and their astonishment was
unbounded when they saw a mink run
from hole near by, snatch up q fish
and carry it off to the hole, where
they afterward found their entire cap
ture cunningly hid under some dead
leaves.
In the same manner the mink steals
game which the sportsmen shoot. On
one occasion gentleman shot wild
duck but before the dogs could get to
it mink had stolen it, carried it off
to hole in the frozen snow, which
one mink had prepared while the other
was watching for the opportunity to
steal the sportsman's game. Notwith-
standing this particular characteristic
the mink is brave as well as q fero
cious little fellow, and he is excelled
in these qualities only by the ermine

DISEASE IN FOWLS.

Overcrowding of fowls is sure to
troubles thus produced are the two
most fatal disorders of poultry, roup
and cholera. These are both encour-
aged by bad air, dampness and filth.
Cholera is a disorder of the liver by
which the gall is secreted too copiously
and overhows into the intestines, Civ
ing the yellow and green color to the
excrement. The comb and wattles and
cheek lopes are also yellow, and pro-
fuse diarrhea soon kills the bird
This is due to overfeeding, although
it is a contagious disease, and it is
much encouraged by excess of food,
especially of corn. There is no effec-
tive remedy. Sometimes the fowls
will recover if kept from food and
given only water in which some hypo-
sulphite of soda has been dissolved.
But they mostly die in a few days
after the first attack. The roup con-
sists of Inflammation of the head and
throat, the eyes discharge q thick,
sticky matter, and if neglected are
soon destroyed. The treatment for
this disease is to bathe the head in
warm vinegar and give the bird a pinch
ofpowdered chlorate of potash dropped
in the throat twice day. Some warm
soft food may be given as soon as the
bird will eat. This disease also is con-
tagious. New York Times.

Science and Soap Bubbles.

Why is it that the colors of n soap
bubble change as the film gradually
alters in thickness? Another cause
of color is here involved-that of in
tersercnce. If stone be thrown into
smooth pond circular wave is pro-
duced, gradually widening toward the
edge of the pond; ii n second stone
be thrown into the pond II second
wave will be produced, which will in
tluence the lrst
If the stones are dropped in stimuli
taneously at the same spot the waves
will just be doubled in hight; and if
. the second stone be thrown in exactly
a wave length behind the first the same
effect will be observed. If, however,
the second stone be thrown into the
water exactly half Il wave length be-
hind the first the motion of the wave
will be destroyed.
Similarlywith light; when light i'm
pignes on the soap bubble part OF it
is reflected from the exterior surface,
and part enters the film and is reflect
cd from the interior surface
This latter portion tnverses the
water medium between the two sur
faces twice, and is therefore kept be-
hind the first reflected ray. The t~o
sets OF waves interfere with each 9th
er, and produce a colored light instead
ola white hight. Other waves, again,
may destroy each othor and cXtin-
guish the light.
Some of the cons Inant co1ors of
the impigning white ght-- formed by
their passage through the film inter
tere SO rs to dessroy each Other, while
others remain unaffected. AS the film
diminishcs in thickness, the colcrs
must necessarily vary.
In this way is accounted for the
marvellous variety OF beauty and col
ors in the soap bubble, iridescence of
oil upon water, tempered with the
gaudiness of some insects wings. -

FOR pIcKLING DAY.

In getting vinegar for pickles, al
ways try to get apple vinegar, as the
other kinds frequently eat up the
pickles entirely or cause them to turn
soft. Too strong vinegar should be
partly diluted with water.
All pickles should be tightly sealed,
to prevent air reaching the vinegar,
as this kills it. 1t should always be
poured on hot, as it comes to the first
scald-never allow it to boil.
Never put up pickles in anything
that has held any kind of grease, and
never let them freeze.
If pickles are put into brine, it
should always be strong enough to
bear an egg. Use coarse salt, in pro-
portion of heaping pint of salt to a
gallon of water.
The incest way to put up pickles is
to put them in bottles and seal while
hot.-New York Journal.

HARDY ROSES.

Geo. S. Conover, of Geneva, n. Y.
gives in Gardening his experience in
growing hardy roses for fifteen years
past His lict now composes twenty
one varieties, beginning with such
good old sorts as Hermosa, Sow. NAL
maison, General Jacqueminot, Co.
quette des Alps and Pierre Noting,
and ending with Vick's Caprice, Mrs.
John Laing and Lady Helen Stewart.
All have proved hardy without pro-
lection. His soil is stiff clay loan,
constantly enriched with stable ma
nure, which is put on spring and fall,
the coarse litter being left on during
the summer as mulch, to secure mois-
ture and even temperature at the
roots. Mr.. Conover finds that he can
not make his rose beds too rich.
Commercial fertilizers have been tried
with Indifferent success. He prunes
lightly in early spring; severely just
as the buds start. Early pruning,
followed by frost, is very injurious.
For insects he uses a whale-oil soap
solution, two pounds dissolved in tif-
teen gallons of water, put on with n
syringe at night, and in the morning
followed by Swinging with clear
water. This is the original formula
or'which the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society awarded premium OF
500 in 1841. A neighbor showers his
rose beds daily with the hose, and
keeps all insects in subiection. To.
bacco dust and stems and good Per.
sian insect powder have been found OF
great value.

RECIPES.


How to Make Jelly Making ounce
and pear Jelly be careful to abstract
all the seeds and cores of both fruits
before cooking, as there is mucilage
in them that will make the jelly
milky looking and impair the flavor.
Veal Salad-Bits of meal cut fine
make delicious salad, and very
good way to use up small scraps of
cold beef is to cut them fine OF thin
and make layer salad, alternating
with cold boiled potatoes, salt and
pepper, and cover all with French
dressing.
Kidney Toast Chop fine four veal
kidneys with half pound of calf's
liver; season with pepper and salt.
Make little butter hot in frying
pan and toss them about until cooked,
but not overdone. Remove from the
fire and stir in the beaten yolk of one
egg and half teaspoonful OF lemon
juice. Spread on toast and serve at
once. Stewed or boiled potatoes and
hot Indian meal mullins go nicely with
this excellent dish.
Cocoanut Sponge--Thicken one pint
of milk in which is dissolved three
quarters of a cup of sugar, with four
tablespoonfuls of cornstarch. Cook
thoroughly in double boiler. When
cooked and boiling hot, beat this into
the whites of three eggs beaten stiff.
After standing few moments, add
one cup of grated cocoanut. Flavor
with vanilla, and turn into mold, with
grated cocoanut on top.
Steamed Cabbage. Cabbage, as usu-
ally cooked, is too heavy for an ordin-
ary stomach to digest. Try steaming
it until soft, and then serve by pour
ing around it white sauce. Make
the sauce by melting spoonful OF
butter, stirring smoothly into this the
same measure of -four. Pour into the
mixture one pint of milk and boil un
| til thick. Season with salt. This il
almost as dainty dish as caulifiower

syrup of one-half cupful molasses
one and one-half cupfuls sugar, two
cupfuls water and two lemons sliced

Turn them once while cooking. When
the dumplings are taken out add {
little butter to the syrup and poul

TO IMPROVE POTATOES.

Potatoes may be soaked in cold
water for twelve or more hours before
being cooked, and will be improved
rather than injured, but if they stand
in little moisture even for ten
minues after they are cooked, they
are spoiled. The potato is composed
largely of starch. The uncooked
starch does not unite with moisture
like a sponge. A good potato will be
light and mealy as soon as it is baked
or boiled, but if the cooking is con-
tinued it will become dark, heavy and
strong favored. d.-St. Louis Star Say

SALT FOR ANIMALS.

Salt is necessary for all vegetarian
animals, and aids in the digestion OF
the food. The belief that it is pre-
ventive of intestinal worms is well
founded, for these parasites are found
mostly in animals of imperfect diges-
ton. The undigested food encourages
these pests, as they feed upon it, OF
upon the copious mucus secreted in
the bowels of animals suffering from
Indigestion. Salt should be given
regularly with every feed, if cut food
is used, otherwise in the form of a
lump of rock salt kept in the manger,
where it may always be reached. -

PALATAsLE ICED TEA.

Mrs. Rorer says: Iced tea may be
palatable, but it is certainly not
wholesome. The better way to make
it is to fill the glasses partly full of
cracked ice; then make the tea double

acid in this way than when the tea is
allowed to stand and cool before
