Appic and Potato Crates.


One of the most successful potato
growers in the United States harvests
all his potatoes into bushel crates, pill
ing them upon two-horse wagon until
fully loaded. when they are drawn d.
rectly from the field to market or to
the railroad to be loaded upon the cars,
or to the cellar to be stored for 4 later
market. The advantage in the use Of
such crates is obvious. They afford a
receptacle into which potatoes can be
picked from the ground and be car
ried to the cart, and as the crate is set
into the cart and an empty crate taken,
there is no bruising Of the tubers, as
when poured several times into and
out Of baskets in getting them from
the field to their destination. The same
advantage has even more force in the
case of gathering apples, which should
be handled as little as possible to pre-
serve the keeping qualities of the fruit.
OF course, large number Of crates Is
required where ones potato field or
orchard is extensive. but well-made
crates once provided will last almost
q lifetime, and become better and bet
ter appreciated the longer they are

Medicinal Value of Onions,

Onions are an excellent remedy for
catarrhs and coughs. For this purpose
they are chosen very large, cut in four,
and stewed in q covered pot with a lit
tie sugar candy; they should be left to
stew slowly for long time; strain and
bottle the juice, cork the bottle tightly,
and keep them in temperate and dry
room. A teaspoOnful of the juice every
two hours will be found very effica-
ciOuS for bad colds.

Gbsorptive Power of Soils.

The greater prevalence of drOuShts
rs the country grows older is partly
awning to the fact that soils long cult
zated do not hold water rs they do
when full of vegetable matter. This
u especially true where the soil is
aeavy and has at some time been
H0rked while wet. 1t often requires
years Of cultivation with winter freez-
iAs and thawing to fully break up the
elDlis, made by blowing when the
ground is saturated with water. The
l3ow presses particles of clay soil to-
Hther instead Of pulverizing them. If
fhey are narrowed while wet. the clay
svicks to the harrow and but little good
r done. If the soil is undrained these
eSoIs@ remain for years. As the satu-
rated soil freezes solid at the surface
and thus prevents the deep freezing

The science OF sweeping.
The true science Of sweeping the most
untidy room is to do it with a stout par
lOr broom and raise not so much as "a
sneeze Of dust" No matter whether a
carpet or mating or a nice wood mosaic
is the floor covering, the work can be
accomplished with absolute neatness
and dispatch by laying band Of WELL
dampened sawdust along one side Of
the floor and sweeping this over and
over clear across the apartment. The
sawdust quickly ticks up every mote
and bit Of lint which the room sets
stirring before it has time to float off
Into the air and so protects furniture
and the sweeper as well. Such Il pro-
cess can be carried on in a sick room
without the least Inconvenience, and
In this event, or where nuseries or
school rooms are cleaned, it Is wise to
sprinkle little disinfectant in the saw
dust. When the work is done carefully
gather 1t all in a dustpan and toss it
Tito the kitchen fire, burning it between

To Prepare Light Rolls.
A quick way of preparing light rolls
Tor breakfast is to take a pan of bakers
rolls, even if they are two or three DAYS
old will not matter, and sprinkle them
well with cold water. Tut them in a
deep pan in the oven and turn another
pan over them, so that they will steam
for q few moments, five, perhaps, then
remove the pan and let the rolls be sub.
ject to a good heat for another ten min.
utes longer, If the rolls are very thick.
Just before removing, butter the tops
and let them crisp little. If the oven
seems to cook the crust too fast, put a
paper over the rolls, and they will steam
without browning. This is an excellent
way, also, of freshening up a loaf OF
stale bread. Steam the loaf over a pot
Of boiling water for ten minutes, and
then put it in moderate oven for
half an hour with paper over it
Baked Apples.
Choose good-sized, fair apples, of
tart and juicy kind. Wash and rub
clean. Put them in shallow earthen
dish with water to cover the bottom OF
the dish; this should be renewed as nee
essary. Put them in slow oven, which
may increase in warmth so that they
shall be thoroughly done in an hour.
White sugar sifted over them when ia
ken from the oven improves their ap-
pearance. For many persons cream is
q pleasant addition. The skin and core
should be carefully separated and not
eaten. Pare sour apples, remove the.
cores and fill the cavities with sugar.
Place in a bean crock or other deep
dish and add water to cover the bottom.
A paper may be tied over the top to pre-
vent burning; they should be baked in
q moderate oven.

To Make Poultry Pay.


Fifteen years ago tried fancy poul-
try raising, and, like all beginners. I
wanted too many kinds, and kept add
ing to my stock until l had twelve va
rieties, and almost made q failure, as
l did not then understand how. Some
kind and experienced friend said to
me: "Quit all but two kinds; give
them all the attention you have siven
the twelve and scatter them. Have
small ones away from the young. Feed
them separately, make .hem rOOst In
separate pla ces, have all roosting-places
movable, and once a week turn the
roOsts over and coal-oil them; clean up
the houses and boxes once week the
year through. Give variety of food
corn, wheat, oats, barley, buckwheat
and table crumbs; also fresh gravel,
crushed bone and green feed the year
through; good clover hay once a week
in the houses in the winter. Quit the
soft, fancy feeding, and give them
sensible care and make a success of
the business" The poultry business
is the largest industry on earth. 1t
supports more people, more people are
engaged in 1t, more papers and jour-
nails are devoted to its exclusive inter-
est than any other in the whole world.
Hard times will come now and then,
rs we all know; then the poultry indus
try flourishes, as the people turn to
that to make d living and improve
their stock. Pay close attention to
the details and find, instead Of q lag
ging monotony, as some suppose, that
it is the largest, safest and best busi-
ness in the whole world.

The Death of the Stag.

Straight before us is the stag. His mouth is open, his tongue hangs down loosely, his antlers are stretched back on his shoulders, and at every few leaps his legs give way under him and let him down on his knees. Picking himself up, he tries to go on bravely, but his race is done. All strategy Is gone now-gtven place to straight race for life, and he turns instinctiyely toward a pool in the hollows. But the hounds are on him in the water, grab ping his legs and pulling down his horns.
 They struggle so wildly with each other and the stag that they all sink into the water, until the piqueurs dis mount, and with their whips and com mands force them to stand back, when one of them with quick stroke serves the stag and puts an end to his suffer- ing, And out over the hills, in among the trees, away to the carrefour, where the chase began, through the gather- ing darkness, goes the royal salute that tells of the death of a valiant stag.
 It is almost dark. Men, hounds and horses gasp for breath for an instant and then follows the ceremony of the day. We are all dismounted, and, standing in a group--all there are left of us-we bear witness to the presents tion of the deer's fore foot to the guest of the day.--Hamblen Sears in Harpers s Magazine.

We have read with deep interest the revelations of the perfldy of MT. Davis, the chairman of the Democratic State Central committee. and we have won- dered at the forbearance of his accusers. They have only charged him with help ing one Republican, when it is plainly evident that he or some other Democrat was at work in the interest of Republicans all over the State. Per- haps the whole committee was as per fidious as its leader. The vote in his favor shows that his action is not looked upon by the committee as any, thing very sad or bad, and they may have been as deep in the mud as he was in the mire. Tn view of what hap pened at the election it seems to us like trifling to charge any one Democrat with helping only one Republican. An in dictment against all the Democrats for helping all the Republicans and then exhibiting fiendlsh glee over their trea- son would come nearer covering the ground.

wln,hror,s NharactertslIes.

Winthrop gave an intimation in his book that he might write another sec- tion of autobiography covering his friendships in his own country. To write; of some of his associates in public life could not have been hard, for his own service had been so long that many whom he had worked with had died long before. His commemorative ad- dresses are studded with notable en- comiums on them, and not unlikely this fact deterred him, in the wearisomeness of old age, from returning to themes he had already handled. But it would be mistake to suppose that MT. Win throp was merely an interesting sur yivor of an interesting past. His off, cial service In politics came to an end, indeed, many years ago. Yet as he rep resented high principles in political life, so, continuously after retiring from off, flee. he was in very notable sense a public man. He stood as single in- stance oe the American citizen, who recognizes his duty to the community in which he lives. and the opportunities which arise in that vast network of so- eial, philanthropic, and educational &C., tivity which happily with us is disso- ciated from exclusively governmental function.
 It is idle to assume that ardent devo- tion to partisan politics exhausts the capacity for good citizenship, or that the only career for an American who desires to serve his country is in the political field. MT. Winthrop demon strated clearly thata man of scholarship and independent fortune could, year af- ter year, give n large part of his time to the promotion of public ends, and do this so unostentatiously that the news papers did not keep his name standing in large capitals. When this magazine was founded, 1t bore for device on the cover the head of the first Winthrop of Massachusetts bay. That device was supplanted by the American flag when the war for the Union came. In it's recognition for the enduring clements of American character and civilization, 1t regards this descendant of John Win throp as a great and worthy exemplar. Atlantic.
