Profit in Hiring Help.

The rate of farm wages is, we hear, a
litter lower than year ago; but those
who are known to be faithful and skill
full can get old prices. There is not the
difference made that there should be.
1t is very easy for careless hired man
to destroy implements or injure stock
by i'll treatment, to an extent that would
make his services too dear if he worked
for nothing. Neither can a farmer
afford to hire the slow and unskillful,
for these are just as like as not to set
the pace for others that he employs. 1t
is impossible for the farmer to always
work with his men, and when he is
away the work will suffer 1t always
pays when a really faithful hand can
be secured to give him some extra pay
and make him the leader, holding him
responsible for the amount Of work and
the way it is done.

Cows Holding Back Milk.

One of our dairy exchanges says that
when the cow is frightened or injured
she holds back the butter fats in her
milk. From this it argues properly in
favor of giving the COW kind treatment,
and relieving as soon as possible any
sores on her teats, which are the usual
cause of milk being held up. This is
all right, but we doubt whether the
cow discriminates to hold back the
richer parts of her milk that in milking
always comes last. When the COW is
restless and kicks at the mixer, she is
apt to be left with more or less milk in
her udder. As it Is towards the last of
the milking, this retained milk will
naturally be richer without any Volt
ton on the cows part to make it So

An orchard in bearing ought never to
be cropped. All the fertility that the
soil contains is worth more to be used
in developing fruit than for anything
else that can be grown. Renovating
crops to be plowed under may, however,
be sOWn even in bearing orchards. If
young orchards are making wood in
stead of fruit when they are large
enough to bear, a seeding with clover
and blowing in midsummer after a
clover growth has been taken off, will
often bring them into condition to bear
fruit. The clover while growing is a
check to growth, and the cutting of the
roots in midsummer is further check.
This will cause a great many fruit spurs
to form late in summer, and these will
produce large crop of fruit the next
year. This is a severe remedy, but if
the tree has a good supply of mineral
fertilizer it will continue to bear from
that time. 1t may be that tree treat
ed thus will not be so long lived as is
one whose growth has not been check
ed, but it is not often the very largest
trees that are the most profitable.

Tennyson at Home.

Tennyson was never "at home" ex-
cept to such cherished friends as his
neighbor, the late Prof. Tyndall. Ac-
cess to his study was consequently de-
MED to nearly all callers, and even the
presence of those who obtained the
privilege of entire there was sometimes
irksome to the poet, whose part in the
conversation usually consisted of mono
syllables. as I remember to have once
happened during my stay, but he could
be very gracious to callers when in the
mood. On the other hand, Sir Edwin
Arnold, in his "Reminiscences" of the
poet, says: ALBEIT you saw Private
Road painted on the first rod of his do
main, and Private Grounds inscribed
upon the first boundary of his fence, he
did not like country people to pass him
on the road without recognizing him. =

Hints to Housekeepers.


A barrel of pork weighs two hundred
pounds.
A frkinof butter weighs fifty-six
pounds.
Strong ammonia and water will take
out grease spots.
1t is injurious to battle within two
hours of any meal.
A persistent washing and rinsing in
milk will remove an ink stain.
To remove paint from clothing, sat
urate with turpentine until softened,
then wash out with soap and water.
To whiten the hands use oatmeal in
stead of soap to wash the hands. This
will have the effect both of softening
and whitening them.
New brushes that are an improvement
on the feather buster have long han
dies, with the brush of lambs wool,
which gathers the dust and holds it.
These brushes can be, and therefore
should be, washed after using, when
they are again made as white and soft
as wool.
Colds are frequently caused by put
ting on cold clothing or wraps. Never
do this when it can be-avoided, but let
them hang before the fire for some time
before wanted. One who is careful to
do this and dresses in conformity with
the weather will seldom contract cold
from going out.

Troubles on a tenement Street.

Troubles on a Tenement Street.
Improvidence works sad havoc with
the family exchequer, and The havoc,
cruelty enough, is as great when caused
by inculpable ignorance is by wanton
extravaganza. Wasteful cooking, buy
ing on installments, mortgaglng furni-
ture at exorbitant rates, and other
equally disastrous practices are far
too common. When John German Of
No. 40 died his wife received n $500
death benefit. She INDUCED in the lux
ury Of a $40 funeral, and within
year was in want.
Overproduction Of children is an
other source of trouble. Whether the
children live or whether they die, they
are about equally expensive. The
more desperate the family circum-
stances, the faster the children come.
And yet nature seems to smile ON this
form of improvidence in the long run.
Children are transformed to breadwin-
ners by time. Thus, the family dragged
down at first by it's surplus of children,
is often exalted by this very thing at
the end. Comfortable old age comes
quite as often to the heads of the large
families as to the childless couples.

Methods of C1eaning Silk.

Take a good sized potato, clean and
scrape it. Put it in a basin and pour
over it pint of boiling water. Let this
preparation stand until cool. Sponge
the silk with the potato water on the
right side and iron on the wrong side
while still damp. Your silk will look
like new when finished. In many parts
of Germany potato water is used for
washing all sorts of materials, and also
for silk handkerchiefs.
Another recipe for washing silk calls
for goodsized potato and a quart Of
water. The potato is washed, grated
and allowed to stand two days in the
water, when the liquor may be strained
ready for use There should be no rub
bling, the fabric being simply dipped in
the water, passed through the hands to
remove traces of dust and dirt and then
hung up to drip. When most of the
moisture has been extracted in this way
the silk is spread between two cloths,
and, to extract the remaining moisture,
irOned with a moderately hot iron, a
thin flannel being placed over the silk
The art of washing silk is not to rub
or wiring. All drying must be accom-
plished by hanging or placing between
cloths. Where the silk is creased the
task of renovating becomes more diff

The history of the sheep industry in
this country is one of almost ceaseless
fluctuations between a boom and q
panic. With almost cyclical regularity
one has followed the other. The pres
ent depression.in the wool market has
created increased interest in the heavy
mutton breeds of sheep. However
cheaply wool may be imported, the
mutton supply must be mainly pro-
duced at home. True, the prices for
mutton have also declined, but the out

Queen Xictoria,s Wit.

There are some interesting stories OF
Queen Victoria's young days in the
February number of the Windsor Mag
aZine. When but a mere child (Says
Mr.. Alfred T. Story, in an article on
1.-The Queens Tutors') her majesty used
to delight George ". by her quick wit.
One day when staying at the royal
lodge the king entered the drawing
room leading his little niece by the
hand. The band was stationed as usual
in the adjoining conservatory. "Now,
Victoria" said his majesty, ''the band
is in the next room and shall play any
tune you please; what shall it be?'
ooh, uncle" replied the princess with
great readiness, 81 should like God
Save the King better than anything
else"
A similar instance of childish quick
ness is related in regard to the queens
early studies in music
Being one day required to practice at
the pianoforte, she objected, desiring to
know why it was necessary to spend
so much time in the drudgery of run
ming up and down scales. She was
told that there was no royal road to
music, and that she must practice like
other children. The little autocrat did
not agree with this, and quietly locked
the piano and put the key in her pocket,
saying: "There, you see! There is no
must in the matter" Having made her
point, however, she was soon prevailed
upon to reopen the instrument, and so
proceed with her lesson.

for wool in the immediate future.
While the holders of fine-wool sheep
must sell out on low markets, or hold
on at little profit, if not absolute loss,
until the return of better times, the
holders of middle and long wooded
sheep may reasonably expect fairly
remunerative prices for carcasses,
whatever may be the condition Of the
wool market Besides, the heavy
breeds Of sheep are generally held in
comparatively small fiocks, few on
each farm, and do not constitute the
leading industry of their holders, as
in many cases do fine wooded sheep.
Holders of mutton sheep seem largely
disposed to hold their flocks and keep
right along raising lambs and mutton.
An indication of this was visible at the
last Chicago fat-stock show where the
entries in the down and long wooded
sheep classes compared faVorablY with
the exhibits of more prosperous years.
The display of SOuthdOwns, EhrOp-
shires and OXfordS was particularly
