FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

If your hens don't lay by this time
chop their heads off and start in again.
It is good plan to thoroughly
whitewash the interior Of your hen
house. 1t is good lice killer.
Salt for cattle is more important in
summer than in winter. When the
cows are on grass salt will be highly
reiished by them, as it serves to keep
then, in health.
Do 2ot be afraid to thin out the
fruit. Trees that are loaded down are
liable to be injured. The largest and
best fruit is grown on trees that are
not permitted to overbear.
There is nothing like clover patch
for the pigs. They will not only keep
in better health on clover than when
confined, but will grow fast and cost
less than when they are fed on grain
and require feeding three times day.
Do not be too economical with po-
tato seed. When cutting the seed
leave large pieces to the eyes. It is
considered an advantage to use whole
potatoes, or cut them in half by some
Do not cut the potatoes into small

Floral Decorations at the White House.

OF all the flowers use on state occa-
sions at the Executive Mansion,
orchids are considered the most beau
tiful and effective, and generally grace
the highest of the Presidents social
functions. For instance, IN determln'
ing upon the floral display for diplo-
matte dinner, Mrs. Cleveland IS in
formed as to the best the conservato-
ries can afford for this occasion. After
deciding upon the flower to be used
las the decorations are generally all
of one kind), Mrs. Cleveland expresses
her preference to the head gardener,
who thereupon holds o consultation
with the steward, who arranges that
the flowers, the lamp.shades, and the
ribbons for the table shall ali be per-
fectlv harmonious. In case the Cy-
pripedium insigne is chosen for din
uer, the table is banked and massed
with them, corsage knot is placed
beside the plate of each lady, while
single flower is provided as bouton-
nier for each gentleman. .-Demorest's

Superstition III dermany.

Superstition is still very strong n
some parts of Germany. A few days
ago balloon, sent up By the Army
Balloon Battalion near Dantzicand in
which two aeronauts OF that corps
were studying atmospheric conditions
at an altitude OF 5000 feet, happened
to pass the district OF Tuchel, inhab-
tied by people Of the aboriginal sla7
race. They took the balloon a thing
never seen before-to be the Sank
Tor the Evil One) and followed it for
miles, intending to slay it wherever it
should happen to alight. Fortunately
for the aeronauts they passed the
region safely anl the bullets fired at
their balloon did not reach it. Other
wise they would have Jared badly

Startling Results.

Some startling results, stated Lord
Rayleigh the other day at the Royal
Institution, have been obtained in IN
gestigating the sensitiveness of the
ear to sounds. By one method he
found that the ear is capable of re-
spending to an amount Of condensa>
tion and refraction in the air equal to
one twenty -milllonta OF an atmos-
phere, though by other experiment;
the amount seemed to be tenth less:
A point of some difficulty is ho| do
we know the direction of sounds. By
trial he found that pure sounds, SUCH
as those of tuning fork, tell their
direction with certainty only when ct
the right or left; while with other
sounds, such as those OF the voice or
Of clapping the hands, tho ear could
easily Judge the direction, wherever
it was-New York News.

FARM HOUSEHOLD.
How MUCH DRY FODDER?

The quantity of dry fodder given to
a COW may be fifteen to twenty pounds
daily. It depends on what other feed
is given, as if part of tho feed is en-
silage, or roots, or much grain Is
given. less hay will be needed. But II
hay and grain alone are used, the feed
may be twenty pounds of each, or two
thirds of hay and one-third meal. 1t
is best to have the grain ground as
finely as possible, and the food is best
digested when the hay is cut into
chaf and wetted and the meal is
mixed with it. The food is then better
imasticated and this first digestive
process, when best done, aids the
other digestive organs to do their
work. Farmer.

soluble gold. Unless arrested by other
deposits of iodine the released gold
would rain down upon the bottom OF
the sea in continued showers.
''Ihe question of obtaining this
gold from the ocean is the most i'm
portant that concerns us to-day. II
these vast reservoirs of gold could be
opened up to commerce the world
would be deluged with yellow metal.
No one could wish that the yield would
be too large, for the depreciation OF
the metal would be SO great that no

The whole ocean could not be raked
over in thousands of years: and the
discovery of the new sources ofsupply
would result only in satisfying people
that gold is plentiful enough in the
land and ocean to supply all future
generations with it. The fear Of e gold

tanned.
"The soluble gold can be readily
precipitated from the iodine, and
hence from the salt water, and at the
rate of one-tenth of grain to the ton
it would pay q large concern to put
up enormous vats to receive the waters
of the ocean. A series of such watts
could dispose of thousands of tons ol
water in day. Before this is done,
however, the question Of location must
be decided. It would not pay to put
up expensive machinery along the
coast where the yield was one-tenth OF
grain when another part of the ocean
would yield as high as one-quarter OF
one-half Of a grain. The latter would
soon drive the first concerns out OF
the business. The northern latitudes
so far have given higher percentage
of gold than the southern, and it is
possible yet to discover places where
the yield will be quite large. OF the
Isle OF Man the yield was found to be
about thirteenth of grain and
the water from the Kristinia ford
yield oue-tenth of a grain. In the
Southern Pacific the yield has run as
low as one-ffteenth of grain and of
the Greenland Coast the water pro-
duced higher solution of gold than
either of the other three places.
ssFrom the results so far obtained
we may judge that in few years ef-
forts will be made on a large scale to
extract gold from the ocean for COM
mercial purposes. The question has
hardly yet left the laboratory of the
scientist, but usually where there is
money to be made the transition from
scientific experiment to practical ap-
plication is very sudden. This we may
predict Of ocean gold mining"

Games Of The Ir0uuolS.

The Onondagas, OF all the lro-
ouois, have clung most firmly to their
tribal traditions; every summer
meeting, lasting several days, is held
in the Long House of the Nation, at
which tie old men take turns in ex-
horting the young to hold steadfast to
the ancient faith, while the ancient
games and amusements in which they
indulge on their reservation near Syr'
acuse are mostinteresting. Their year
ly merrymakings number thirteen,
and include the Berry Festival, which
celebrates the arrival Of the straw
berry, the Festival of the First Rlpen'
ing Fruit, the Festival Of the First
Fruit of the Trees, and the Green
Corn Festival. Each of these Is at
tended with feasting during the day
and dancing at night. Those taking
part in the dance of the Green Corn
Festival wear masks, some woven from
corn husks, others made Of wood and
horseha1r, and with the moving fig
ures, the silent watchers, and the
calm, soft light Of the midsummer
night. the scene is weird and most
impressive one.
The most popular game Of the lro-
quois is variety of ball, IN which
representatives of the four brother
clans, the Wolf, the Beaver, the Bear,
and The Turtle. are matched against
members Of the Deer, the Snipe, the
Heron and the Horse tribes. Two
poles are placed ct each end OF the
ground, and each member of the COM
peting parties strives to carry the
balls between his own poles desig'
mated number of times. The play be-
gins in the center, and neither party
can touch the ball with hand or foot.
Javelin, game very popular in the
spring and autumn, is played by cast

favorite game. consists in sending a
