RUST ON COTTON AND LINEN.

To remove iron mould or rust from
any white cotton, linen or vegetable
fibre, the following process is the
best, and it does not injure the fabric
The spots are stretched over an
earthen plate and moistened; salts of
lemon are then strewed over. the
marks, and rubbed in with q bone or
wooden spatula until the stain is re-
moved, atterward thoroughly rinsing
in warm water to remove the acid.
Nearly all stains and dyes will be dis
charged by oxalic acid, therefore care
full usage is necessary. Salts of lemon,
salts or sorrel, oxalic acid, etc., are
very dangerous poisons, and should
be used with due caution. Mildew is
removed by first brushing off any
loose mildew; then a little common
salt should be rubbed in, afterward
literally sprinkling with powdered
chalk, and thoroughly moistening
with clean cold water. After this the
articles should be slowly dried in the
open air, and then rinsed; and if the
marks are not removed, the treatment
should be repeated, possibly several
times, hut IN the end the mildew will
be removed. New York Telegram.

but it would be better than TO invoke
the law for the one who feels himself
to be aggrieved TO ask permission Of
his neighbor TO fix the fence himself, n
much less expensive way of settlement
than to refer to any legal proceedings.
This way of settling disputes acsords
with one of the golden rules-if thine
enemy smite thee on one cheek, turn
to him the other also. II may be a
hard thing to do, but it is only resist
ing the devil, which, to somo extent,
still abides in human nature. There
never has been resort to the law by
neighbors but it has been a costly and
exasperating blunder. Now York

Animals That Commit Suicide,

Intelligent observers have testified
to facts which appear to show that in
certain circumstances the snake,
scorpion, and even some quadrupeds,
commit suicide. NJ. Henry, a clock
man lfacturer of Londguyon, France,
has recently described au experiment
ofthe kind which he made with wasp.
The wasp was imprisoned under a
glass, and, knowing that benzine as
phy1iates insects, he put some paper
soaked IN 1t beside the captive. The
wasp became uncomfortable, then an
grily attacked the paper, but, finding
all its efforts unaVailing, it finally lay
down on its back, and, folding up its
abdomen, planted its sting thrice into
its body. NJ. Henry was so curious
10 confirm the fact that, in spite of
his humane feelings, lo repeated the
experiment ON three wasps with the
like result.-London Globe.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

See that the fowls ore provided
with shade.
Turkeys should be carefully watched
and kept in very dry, sunny coops.
Don't trust the hired man or boy
to look after the chickens. They will
neglect them. If you want the poultry
attended to properly, do it yourself.
Only n careful account will tell how
many groceries the egg supply pur
chases on the farm. Keep an account
for while, and then the hens will be
more appreciated.
Do not let the chicks roost on small
roosts while they are young. If they
roost before their breasts become firm
and hardened they will be sure to
have crooked breast bones.
1t is good sign to see so many
women interested in raising poultry.
They are generally more successful
than the men, because they are more
careful and thorough in feeding and
making the flocks comfortable.
Each month brings its special work
in poultry raising, same as other
crops on the farm. The work of the
present month is supplementary to
the coming one. Success hinges on
getting the flock in readiness for the
season to come.
Experience is a great school in
poultry raising, and the mistakes are
guide posts to keep every one in line.
Get all the experience you can and
avoid making the same mistake twice,
and then you will be on the road to q
profitable success.
The success of many q man in the
poultry business, both commercially
and from a fancier's standpoint in
show records, is due to women, who
get no credit. They have been the
power behind the throne many a time
when men havereceived the honors.
Nothing is more delicate than a
young turkey and more ready to give
up its life, so that if you attempt to
raise them make up your mind to
properly attend to them. The Bronze
are the best, though the White Holland
are considered excellent, and pretty
fowls to have about.
The question of when hen lays
daily has been often discussed. Some
lay in the forenoon and others as late
as 8 p. m. l think, rs a rule, you
will find more lay between 10 and
o'clock than later hours of the day.
A close observer of his flock will notice
more closely the habits of his favorite
layers and in this way answer the
question to his own satisfaction.
Bread that is stale is excellent if
scalded with hot water, mixing it with
middlings and chopped feed, in the
morning. 1t can be bought at any
bakery, at fifty cents per barrel, and
is good for young chicks as well as old
fowls when not fed too much and only
as mixture with other soft feeds.
Some crumble it up and throw it on
the floor this is all right in moderate
quantities. What poultry require to
do well is variety of food and moder.
alton in kinds of grain or mess that
you give to them.

The COeOanut Pearls.

Among the curiosities of tropical
plant life are the pearls found occa-
sionally in the cocoanut palm of the
Philippine Islands - pearls which,
like those of the ocean, are composed
of caronate of lime. The bamboo,
too, yields another precious product
in the shape of true opals, which are
found in its joints. In each case this
mineral matter is, of course, obtained
from the soil. The natives of the
Celebes use these vegetable opals as
amulets and charms against disease.

POULTRY FOR HOME USE.

There is not a great deal of differ.
ence in the price of meats, and poul-
try, which is easily digested, ought to
be more on farmers tables than it is.
The staple meat product used on the
farm is pork. That is always hard to
digest, and if more of the vital energy
expended in digesting pork were used
in pushing farm work and planning
better methods farming would pay
better than it does, The poultry yard
should not be regarded as only a
means to make more money. II it

tive 1T will be no less profitable than

A Young CALF THAT WILL NOT DRINK.


Calves appear stupid and willful
sometimes, but in the majority of
cases it is the person who is trying to
feed them that should be blamed for
the same failing. The young things
are led by instinct to suck the COW
and to hold up the head for this pur-
pose, and tc teach them the reverse
calls for patience and kindness.
Doubtless some are more stubborn
than others, but tho right way will be
successful with the worst of them in a
short time. If tho calf does not un-
derstand its business at first, tho milk
should be poured into its mouth by
the Gcooped hand until it finds it is
getting its food, then by gently press
ing its head down to the milk in the
pail, raised for tie purpose as high as
may be, and putting the two forefn-
gers. spread a little apart, into its
mouth, the calf will soon begin 10
drink. If il does not, tho best way is
not to try to force it, or beat It, but
to leave II until il Is hungry, whom it
will very QIicEly find way 10 get tho
milk. Many times e. calf LAY or less
old will drinE at the first attempt,
when its head is gently pressed down
to the milk, fresh and warm from the
COW. II is w0Ith while to take this
trouble, ior when it is once over, q lot
of unpleasant work iE avoided in tho

THE LAND Is "s1cK OF CORN"

Sandy loan soil, heavily dressed
with manure from milking COWS,
yielded increasing crops of ensilage
corn for seven years, but the yield has
fallen off steadily the past three sea-
sons and the corn is more liable to
smut, is the complaint of a Massa-
chusetts 1airyman. This land Is sick
OF corn and needs change. The smut
germs have gone into the manure and
back to the soil yearly until the earth
is charged with them and the smut
thrives if weather permits. The man
ure probably supplied as much nitro
gen, potash and phosphoric acid as q
good crop would require, but the soil
has evidently got in such q condition
that the corn can't avail itself freely
of this food. Sow to grass or grain,
or put in potatoes and vegetables, APP
plying only a good dose Of unleached
wood ashes, and in '96 or better in '07
it will probably be as good as ever for
corn.-American Agriculturist.

TRANsPIANTING.

1t is best not to be in too great q
hurry to transplant from the hotbed
or cold frame into tho open ground.
Take your time about it; harden of
the plants well first by exposing them
for a short time each day to the air
and sunlight, gradually prolonging the
period until they viii be able to en-
duro the change without experiencing
a setback. The soil will then have be-
come warmed and the danger OF frost

PIG RAISING.

Pig raising is the natural compile
ment of dairying, as by its means all
refuse milk is utilized to produce
meat of the best quality. Dairy fed
pork is far superior to pork fed on
any other kind of feed. 1t is an
article of moro value in the worlds
market when converted into bacon.
Skim milk, fed in conjunction with
wheat middlings and a little oil meal
will produce twice the amount of lean
pork TO be obtained from cornmeal
and water, Independent of the better
health and larger growth obtained by
keeping the digestion of the pigs in
good working order.

Among the men who early felt the benefits
OF cycling. and did not hesitate to expend
money, is Colonel Ben. S. Lowell, of Boston,
Treasurer of the John 7. Lowell Arms Com
pany, of that city. Their firm name has
been a familiar one for over fifty years. hav-
ing been established in 1910, doing a SPORT
ing goods and gun business. Being in a
kindred trade, it was but natural that they
should engage in the making and selling OF
bicycles. Their success has been unbounded,
as they have made a name for the Lowell
Diamond Cycles that is a familiar house
hold one in every hamlet in the land. II is
not possible to have done that without cost,
and considerable one, too, as readers OF
current literature will admit for have not
all OF us encountered the symbolic words
Lowell Diamonds?' To estimate the gross
amount that has been expended for advertis.
ing would be difficult task, but it is said that
considerably over 100000 was spent by
them during 1894. All the big Eastern dailies
had entire pages, which cost lots of money,
and the magazines filled many pages exploit
ing Lowell Diamond Cycles.
Can it be wondered at, then, that cycling
has become popular, when men like Colonel
Lowell spend such sdrns to make il so?
Colonel Lowell is Treasurer OF the John p.
Lowell Arms Company, and is man Of rare
business attachments, acquired by long ex-
per1ence and an aptitude possessed by few
In private life he has won the respect and es-
TEEN of every one he has been brought in
contact with, while his public record Is
equally good, on five different occasions rep
resenting his town in the Legislature, serving
in both branches. He served on the staff Of
Governor Long for three consecutive years
and isnow member OF Governor Greenhalges 5
stan. He has been a delegate to four National
conventions, and there is not an office In the
gift of his townsmen which would not be at
his disposal were it not for his great business
responsibilities. There is no man in the
bicycle business more respected than Colonel
Ben. S. Lowell, and no better bicycle is made
in the world than the Lowell Diamond.
