OVER A THOUSAND FED.
Thanksgiving Spread for the Free
k~indergarten Pupils.

aBfAs
One of the pleasant features of school
life is the Thanksgiving exercises. There
may be children who have always had SO
much that it never occurs to them TO be
thankful. and there are others who have
SO little that they may be even as careless.
The teachers and pupils unite at the diff
ferent seasons in exercises appropriate to
the occasion. Yesterday In all the public
schools children brought contributions for
the poor and in the afternoon had music.
Rotations and stories. AT some of the
buildings, orehestras of boys or mandolin
clubs brought their instruments and ia
vored the pupils with concerted music. At
the Second ward, where elaborate exer-
cises mark the holidays, there was a Gin
derella and pumkin coach. dolls and other
articles to make the recitations or stories
the teachers will see that no pupil goes
hungry to-day; At the Girls Classical
school part of the morning was spent in
talks from the teachers and recitations and
music from the pupils. :
At the private kindergarten on North
Pennsylvania street there was a small
feast, each child bringing a luncheon, and
the schoo giving a little extra for the OBJ

There are no children that enjoy a Thanks

ret-street school, and they do full justice
to the occasion What hey cannot eat,

WINTER CARE OF COWS.

To give an idea of what believe to
be not only a sensible but also a
humane method of caring for COWS in
the winter, says II. S. Matteson, 1 will
give my way, which is this: Ny stable
is seven feet six inches in the clear !;
the stalls are six feet wide, each hav-
ing two COWS fastened with a chain
around the neck; the manger is eight
cen inches wide on the bottom and can
be cleansed easily from an alley in
front of the COWS by stepping in be-
tween them the stalls front the south,
and on that side of the stable are win
dows so that there is an abundance of
light-enough SO that any moonlight
night in winter one can see without
lantern whether the COWS are all IN
order. In the stable I have a well with
a two-inch pump and the stock is
watered with pals twice each day.
The first thing in the morning they
have feed of hay and then are
MIXED, after which they are watered,
then the grain or carrot ration is fed
and some more hay given. This feed
ing is all they have until the evening
chore-time comes. when they are

How Hair Pins are Made.

For years the English and French
controlled the manufacture of hair
pms, and it is only within the last
twenty years that the goods have been
produced in this country to any ex-
tent. The machinery used is of a deli
cate and intricate character, as the
prices at which the pins are sold
necessitate the cheapest and most
rapid process, which can only be pro-
cured by automatic machines.
The wire is made expressly for the
purpose and put up in large coils,
which are placed in a clamp, which
carries it to the machine while
STRENGTHENING it. From there it runs
into another machine, which cuts,
bends, and by a delicate and instan-
taneous process sharpens the points.
Running at full speed, these machines
will turn out 100 hair pins every min
ute. To economize it is necessary to
keep them running day and night.
The difficult part of the work is IN
the enamellng, which is done by dip
ping the pins in a preparations and
baking in an oven. Here is where the
most constant and careful attention Is
required, as the pins must be perfect
" smooth and the enamel have per
feet polish. The slightest particles of
lust cause imperfections and rough
ness, which is Objectionable. Pitts

The flames started so flercely that the oc-
cupants OF the building were taken by sur

women jumping from the windows in
their night clothing. An explosion was
heard in the kitchen in the rear part
of the second story by s. F. Butler, a

building. which is one of series of two-story
structures owned by J. n. Colman on the

Butler raised a cry of fire, which aroused
some OF the guests. The house was filled,
and n rush for lite followed. The flames
were already rushing through the long, mar
row halls. Finding exit by the stairways cut
off. the people began to drop from the vim
dows on both sides OF the building, the
flames closely following them.

RYE FOR GRAZING.

It is the general practice to SOW rye
broadcast for grazing, but experiments
at the Arkansas Station show that
when planted in drills and cut and fed
green it affords very much greater
quantity of food in better condition,
and injury from cattle trampling the
soil in wet weather is avoided.
It is best to have the seed in a mar
row drill for two reasons-fxst, rye is
inclined to spread fiat upon the surface
of the soil in its early stages of growth,
and second, when planted in o mar
row drill it is much more easily cut
by hand, not only on account of its
more upright growth, but because it
can readily be grasped with one hand
and cut with the other, thus keeping
it free of trash, sand, etc.

MONEY IN APPLES.

The failure of the English apple
crop and the somewhat reduced sup
ply at home have sent prices up and
caused such an active demand for APP
pies that the farmer has begun to re-
alize the possibilities of profit to be
obtained from his orchard. Indeed,
from present appearances it looks as if
the apple crop might be made the best
on the farm. But before this can
happen the farmer will have to go
through his orchard and cut down or
graft many OF the trees now found
there. In setting out the orchard in
many cases very little judgment was
exercised in the choice Of trees. Many
of the varities are almost worthless as
market apples. There are too many
inferior seedlings, too many summer
and early fall varieties, and too many
kinds unsuited to the various local.
ties. The early apples, which often
predominant, are perishable and al
most unmarketable. The fruit which
is in demand is the kind that possesses
keeping qualities.
It will pay every farmer to find out
the varieties that are most desirable
in the home and foreign markets, and
that are suitable to mis- climate and
soil. He should then go in and i'm
prove his old orchard, regrafting those
trees which have sound, vigorous
stock but bear poor fruit, and remov-
ing those with decayed trunks. He
should also set out an orchard of
young trees.
But it will not do to stop here.
Most orchards are half starved. A
crop of apples is taken off, the trees
grow in size, limbs are removed, and
yet the soil of the orchard is not fed
If we expect large returns we must
supply the necessary food, either by
cultivation or by the application of
fertilizers.
If food is necessary for the produc-
ton of apples, spraying is requisite
for their protection against insects
and fungous diseases, which have, I'M
fortunately, become very common,
and thinning, by reducing the strain
caused by the production of seed, will
aid in the greater development of the
fruit. 1t cannot be too often repeated
that there is always a surplus Of COM
mon fruit, and a scarcity of the best.
The profit comes from the frst-class
article. This is only to be obtained
by proper thinning and spraying

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Breed the kind of fowls you like
best
Except in the severest weather let
the fowls out for exercise.
Where you find a superior breed OF
horses you find good pasture.
Wheat, cracked corn, peas, rice and
oatmeal make good feed for pigeons.
A goose can not be at its best unless
in clean quarters. What fowl or ami
NAL can?
Look to the mares as you wean the
colts that they do not become
ferverish.
Better late than never. Get up some
earth for dust bath purposes before it
freezes up.
If beginning in the poultry business
be sure you get healthy stock or eggs
from healthy stock.
Give the ducks an airy coop even if
it is low, and give them an occasional
fresh bed of clean straw.
Tempt the appetite of the fowls you
have shut for fattening. Give them
variety; vegetables, grease, corn.
Plaster or slaked lime sprinkled on
the poultry house floor when cleaned
will help in cleanliness and healthful-
ness.
A little chopped fresh meat or lit
tie oil meal mixed in the morning
feed will help through the moulting
season.
Heavy wire is the best material for
supporting Lima beans and other run
ming vines. A four-inch wire mess,
such as may be used for hen yards,
answers we'll for supports.
Where rats are plenty a rat. proof
hen-house is a necessity. To make
one sink twelve-inch boards their full
depth around it, and see that no trash
accumulates near or is piled against it.
If you are crowding poultry at fat
tening time clean out the troughs
each time after they have eaten. Feed
three times day if you wish but do
not keep food before them all the
while.
If you have an idea that the poultry
business will run itself you are mis-
taken and if you go into it with that
mistaken idea you will find to your
sorrow that you should have paid at
tention to 1t.
Well-cured corn fodder is more fully
digested than timothy hay, and is
nutritious and palatable. 1t is
roasted, however, if left in the fields
to be exposed to rains, winds and
frosts during the winter.
Care should be used not to feed the
colt so literally at weaving time or
afterwards as to cloy the appetite. It
is better of the two to keep them a
little short than to overhead They
should be fed often and should have
all they will eat up clean.

watered and fed again as in the morn
ing. The stables are cleaned both
morning and evening and the manure
from horse stalls put behind the COWS
and sprinkling of plaster thrown on
it and around the stalls, if any are
soiled or wet.
The stalls are filed with stone
pounded up and covered with clay
loan, with plank for the hind feet Of
the COWS to stand on. Behind the
stalls is a space seven feet wide filled
from the ground with stone and ce'
ment, with an eightinch drop. The
partitions between stalls reach back as
far as the drop in the floor and as
high as the COWS. In the middle Of
each pleasant day the stock are all let
out in dry yard for short time.
The yard is never muddy nor should
it be for either stock or men to
trample around in. If the yard gets
soft scrape it up in heaps and draw 1t
out on the fields for top dressing. l
never put the stock out i'll the yard

Each COW always has the same place
in the stable as long as she remains on
the farm, and always knows enough
to take her place, which does away
with any trouble at time of putting IN
the stable in the way of hooking and
yelling of the one who puts them in.
Now as to whether my methods are
sensible and reasonable l will give my
experience for long term Of years.
So far [ have never had to call vet
erinarian to attend a sick COW and

zen Killed and a House Wrecked
Near Fairview.. Penn.
At $50 o'clock a. m, a Hungarian board
ing house by the side Of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad tracks on the mountain "cut off"
a mile from Fairview, Penn, was blown up.
Three men were killed outright.
The dead are: Frank NOvako, aged twen-
ty-three, single; Mike Colletz, aged forty,
has wife and four children in Hungary ,
George SIlotzski, aged twenty-eight, has
wife and two children in Bohemia. Eight
Hungarians were in jured, four fatally.
The explosion was caused by dynamite
and was the result Of plot.
The plot was we'll carried out. The
building held sixty-tour laborers, mostly
Hungarians, packed into half dozen
rooms. Robbery or revenge could have been
the only motives for the crime.
The camp consisted Of n rough building,
thirty feet square, constructed in a lot OF
scrub oak beside the track. During the
night, as is always the custom, three OF
tho sixty Hungarian bOarders sat up
on watch and were playing cards.
During the night some men, the number
being unknown, secured an electric battery
and brought 1t to tho railroad track in front
Of the camp and connected it with wire,
completing circuit to each corner of the
camping house. A tool chest standing near
by was broken open, from which were taken
several dynamite sticks, which were put be-
meath the building.
The circuit completed, tho battery was
turned on, exploding the dynamite. In the
haste with which the miscrcants worked they
made faulty connection at the battery, and
when it was turned on only one OF the dyna-
mite sticks exploded. Frank Noyako, who
was one of the party playing cards on the
first floor, was instantly killed, both legs
being blown off at the knees.
The building collapsed. The two mon
with Frank Novako at the table were scarcely
injured at all. The others who were killed
and those who were, injured met their fate
from the collapse of the building.
Like all the HungarianS those who were
uninjured began at daybreak to collect their
goods and chattels, and by noon most of the
men LETT, paying no attention to their dead
and Injured countrymen.

BEDDING FOR FARM ANIMALS.

A great variety of bedding ma
terials are employed il different To-
calities, and each farmer will, of
course, select for his own use such of
these as are the cheapest and most
available, writes NJ. s. Perkins in the
American Agriculturist. In lumber
ing districts, where saw-mills abound,
farmers find cheap bedding in the
sawdust and shavings that are pro-
duced in SO large quantities. Saw
dust makes clean, tidy bedding, but
the impression is quite strong among
farmers that its effect upon the soil is
not desirable. Certainly it decays
very slowly. The common beach sand
near the seashore possesses, when dry,
good absorbing power, and affords a
comfortable bed for stock. It is,
however, very heavy to handle, and
it's application, in the manure, to land
already too sandy, as is much of the
land bordering upon the seacoast, is
not good practice. Meadow and salt
hay, and the straw of our small grains,
supply excellent bedding, and by
their decay return a large amount of
humus to the soil. Their use should
be supplemented by the employment
of some dry material, such as loan
dust, sifted coal ashes, or land plaster,
SO that all the gases and liquid manure
may be saved. It is simple matter
for every farmer to lay by a supply of
dry absorbents. By stirring the soil
frequently over a small area, the earth
rapidly dries out, and becomes dust
under the heat of summers sun. All
that is left to do is to gather the dry
material and store it in a dry place.
Every autumn our shade and forest
trees shed their leaves, wealth of the
best of bedding, that, having alb
sorbed manurial substances, decay
into the best of manure.

Fish Catch Turtles.

''Iurtle fishing is carried on TO q
considerable extent in the vicinity of
the Gulf of Mexico" said o. L.
Davidson, of Atlanta, at the Laclede
last night, according to the S. Louis
GIobe-Democrat.
'The turtles that are most sought
for are the ordinary green turtle and
the hawks bill turtle. In the neigh
borhood of Cuba a most peculiar
method of securing the turtles is pur-
sued. They train, or at least take ad.
vantage of the instincts of a certain
species of fish. The fish is called by
the Spaniards reve (meaning reversed),
because its back is usually taken for
its underside. 1t has au oval plate
attached to its head, whose surface is
traversed by parallel ridges. By this
plate it can firmly adhere to any solid
body it may choose. The boats which
go in quest of turtles each carry q tub
containing some Of these reeves. When
the sleeping turtles are seen they are
cautiously approached, and as soon as
they are judged near enough, a reve
is thrown into the sea.
Upon perceiving the turtle, its in
stinct teaches it to swim right toward
it and fix itself firmly upon the crea-
ture by its sucking disk. Sooner
would the reve allow itself, to be
pulled to pieces than give up its grip.
A ring which was attached to the tail
of the fish, in which a string was
fastened, allows the fisherman to pull
in his prize. By peculiar manipu-
lation the reve is pulled off, and re-
turned to the tub, to be ready for use
again when the next turtle is 81 GIFTED"
