Origin of Hockey POkey.

II is an actual fact that old ice cream
is bought up by Italians and vendors
from restaurants and ice cream stands,
frozen second and third time and
again offered for sale, to be consumed
by the newsboys and general public
under the alluring title of hockey pokey,
says the New York Herald.
Almost every night these vendors
make the rounds of all the hotels and
buy up whatever has been left over from
the day previous. This cream has all
melted more or less to it's original con-
sistency and if it is still frozen when
they get it there is little left but fluid
by the time it has reached the Italian
quarter.
This melting process is the cause of
all the danger. Cream once having
been frozen and melted again very
readily turns sour. In this stage it is
poisonous. The vender of hockey pokey
cares little whether or not the cream
is sour. Quickly upon his return to
his quarters he freezes all this mush
and packs it way for the next days use.

Rearing Young Turkeys.

Confne the brood for week after
Matching. Should the mother hen then
become restless, she may be let out dur
ing the middle of the day. As the tur-
key retires early and dislikes being dis
turbed after settling down for the night,
be sure to coop them before the sun
sets. The young turkeys will eat but lit
tie the first week. Feed separate from
the mother, for she will devour all the
food within reach Dry bread soaked in
sweet milk is one of the best foods for
the young as is curd from fresh butter
milk When months old, feed whole
wheat part of the time and mix corn
meal with their feed. This should not
be fed exclusively. Allow liberty, as con-
flnement will kill young turkeys. When
the mother hen begins tramping wildly
from one side of the coop to the other,
let her out unless the weather is unfa-
vorable When the size Of. cartridges and
old enough to follow the mother in long
rambles, the young will need but little
attention, simply a little feed morning
and evening Do not neglect to bring
them home at night apd put under shell
ter until old enough to fly into trees and
care for themselves This advice is from
American Agriculturist. It is also sug-
gested that you teach the turkeys to
come at the sound of your voice. 1t will
save many weary tramp in searching
woods and fields.

pains to have the fleece taken off whole
and placed upon the table skin side
down. Then spread it out just as it
stood upon the sheep and so there are
no kinks or breaks in it. Now comes
the most particular part in doing up
fleece. e., to bring it together with
the fingers until the .fibers are packed
together at least as closely as they stood
upon the sheep. If this is carefully
done, the fleece when tied will present
a smooth, white. unbroken and tasty
appearance, none of the ends of the
fleece showing through then roll in
equally from each side until the fleece
is an oblong shape about IA inches wide.
roll about equally from each end and
tie three strings each way. Ihave found
nothing better to hold the fleece while
tying than the ordinary box with hinges
made to close up both ways, about IA
inches square, but my feeces have been
SO large Of late years do not close the
ends but leave the fleece some longer
than wide.
''Pile carefully in dry, clean place
kept dark, but that can be made light
to show the wool. Put each grade by it.
self and every fleece SO it can be seen,
and you are ready for the buyer. If you
have carefully bred, grown and handled
the fleece you have the satisfaction Of
putting on tho market a first class prod
uct in workmanlike manner and can
then, and then only, demand and re-
ceive the top or little more than the
top price. You are then entitled to as
much recognition for furnishing not a
raw material but finished product as
the manufacturer is for his finished
product. The production Of perfect
fleece requires as much intelligence and
skill as the production of perfect
piece Of cloth.
Zone more point in the production of
good fleece I would mention is early
shearing. Shorn early in April and
housed for few days a dense feeced
sheep will not mind an ordinary storm
as much as when in full fleece. 1t will
shake itself after rain and is soon dry,
but if wet when in full fleece it remains
so for several days. An early shorn
sheep will grow wool and mutton very
fast from April until July"

ing The easiest plan is to spray rank
patch of clover with ono of the arsonites
used at the rate of u pound in 100 gal
Ions of water, and as soon as it has
somewhat dried cut it close to the
ground. Next spread in little heaps at
intervals over the field to be protected.
This affords complete protection when
carefully carried out The clover may
be cut first, made up into loose balls
and dipped in poisonous liquid, The
more numerous the traps the greater the
chance of destroying the insects. They
will be found in tho morning an inch or
SO beneath the surface under the bait,
and after "a hours the majority will be
dead. No plants should be set out until
the poisoned bait has had an opportunity
to act for two nights at least
A modification Of this plan, which
has been very successful with sweet po-
tato plants, consists III mixing dry wheat
bran with paris green Or london purple
sufficient to color it family, in weight
about one Of poison to so Of the bran.
The mixture should be as complete as
possible, and then water added to make
soft mush that can be ladled out with
a spoon without dripping. The water
may be sweetened to add to the attract
iveness of the mixture. A teaspoonful
should be placed ON each hill of plants
to be protected on the evening of the day
the plants are first set out.

The presence Of cutworms in field

potatoes, cabbages, tomatoes or what
ever else it may be, or soon after the
seed has sprouted, be it corn, onions or
other vegetables All over the field
plants have disappeared or have fallen.
Investigation will show that they have
been cut OF eaten off at the surface or
even little below it. In the cornfield
they cut off the plants almost as fast as
they come above ground, and white po-
tatoes occasionally suffer as severely.

THE SHEARlNG SEASON.
Taking or a Fleece Neatly and Tying 1t
Up Scientifically.


Up Scientifically.
There is much in the way q fleece is
sheared, and almost as much in the way
it is tied up for market afterward. The
neat, artistic and rapid shearer is shown
in the illustration.
The sheep looks in this picture as if
it, ON the whole, rather enjoys getting
the hot coat of wool taken off. 1t is safe
to say the animals skin will not be cut
and shipped till it bleeds, neither will
the fleece be torn and uneven, long in
one place, cut all to pieces in another,
AS to what to do with the fleece after
it has been shorn, skilled breeder and
wool man writes in The Breeders Ga
zette as follows:

the day the old clip is taken off by keep
ing the sheep on we'll sodded grass and in

showers. A sheep thus bred and kept
will grow a fine, clean, lustrous fleece
without any weak spots, soft and elias

MIXING OF FERTILIZER.
When and How 1t May BE Practiced by
FARMERS ut Home.

When and How 1t May BE Practiced ny
Farmers ut Home.
A study of the fertilizer market shows
that a saving of 10 to % per cent MAY
be made in the purchase of fertilizing
materials by buying at wholesale and
taking advantage of low markets. In the
home mixing of fertilizers there is a
great chance for saving. A common ar
gument against home mixing is that
the mechanical condition of the fertili
GERS will not be equal to that of CONNER
cial brands. This need not be SO, for by
the use of screen home mixtures may
be made fine enough to use in any plant
err Some care, however, should be taken
that there be sufficient proportion OF
well dried materials like blood, tankage
or fine ground bone, to make the mix
ture dry enough SO that it will not hold
together when pressed within the hand.
Where much nitrate of soda is used, the
mixing should be done but few days
before wanted for use, as the nitrate has
a tendency to absorb moisture.
The advantages Of home mixing are !:
1. A considerable saving from the prices
of commercial brands may be made by
buying the chemicals. 2. The mixture
can be suited to the crop to be grown.
8. The peculiarities of particular soils
may be considered in preparing the mix
lures 4. A saving in freight by using
concentrated materials.
The farmer should study the needs
of his crop and the deficiencies of his soil
to the same extent that he studies the
needs of his farm animals. Fertilizers
should be used to supplement- the stable
manures. Except in special cases, their
use in this way is more economical than
if used alone, The fact that good stable
manure supplies considerable nitrogen
should point out the need of economic
ing ON this particular element where
both stable manure and fertilizers are to
be used.
In preparing home mixtures, it is i'm
portant to consider first that nitrogen,
phosphorio acid and potash in available
forms are the only ingredients that we
need to consider in the preparation Of
fertilizers. Lime is often needed, but all
mixtures containing phosphates will also
supply some lime, While if heavy linn
ing is thought advisable air Stacked lime
is probably the best material to use, says
the author Of the foregoing in commu-
nication to Rural New Yorker. He eau
tions against the tendency to use ferti-
izers too sparingly and advises the en-
ployment of from 1000 to 1900 pounds
per acre.

FRISCO NOT ALAR HE'D.
No Danger of Cholera Epidemic
There-MOnoWai's Report.

The latest papers from San Fran
cisco say there is no danger of an
epidemic of cholera there. That is
the judgement of Quarantine Off
Ger DR.. Chalmers and DR.. Morse,
chairman Of the Board of Health,
who have made a thorough inves-
tigation OF the report brought by
the steamship Monowai that chol-
era was raging at Honolulu and
that it was carried there by the
steamship Belgic, which subse-
quently visited San Francisco.
According to this investigation
there was apparently no ground for
the sensational story circulated that
the Chinese passengers who came
by the Belgic might be scattered
over the State ready to spread the
dread plague, from having been ex-
posed to it on shipboard.
The news which came by the
Monowai was to the effect that
Captain Carey had refused to land
at Honolulu or to even bring the
mails from there en- his return
from the Orient, because cholera
was epidemic at that port.
First Officer McMecken Of the
Monowai said there were eight
cases of cholera at Honolulu when
they left, and that two deaths had
occurred. McMecken said, fur
Their:
Captain Carey, knowing if he
landed or took anything whatever
aboard from the por:, that he
would be quarantined at San
Francisco, declined to take the
risk. The purser took a verbal
message from United States Con-
sui Mills, with instructions to
transmit it to the State Depart
ment upon the ships arrival here.
This was done, and the message
contained simply the information
that cholera prevailed to the ex-
tent mentioned"

OPERA "CAPTAIN COOK"
Plot Deals With Adventures In
the Hawaiian Islands.

Amateurs presented Captain
Cook" an opera by couple of
local composers at the Bush street
theatre, San Francisco, on the I'd
inst.
The plot of the opera deals with
the adventures of Captain Cook
and his men on the Hawaiian
Islands. There is enough love-
making to satisfy a society novel
list, the tender passages being sand
wiched with the schemings of a
comic priest TO the Goddess Pele
and the amorous designs of a
dusky old maid. Several of the
situations are telling, particularly
the one when the lovers combat is
interrupted by the eruption of
Mauna Loa. As a whole the story
is effective and its setting is pretty
and original.
The Hawaiian background has
also been of use in writing the
very charming music of Captain
Cook" limitations of the natives
themselves have been used just
enough to stamp the opera with the
original and haunting charm.
