CARE OF LAMP wICKS.

A housewife who makes use of lamps
in the administration of her domestic
economy, will save herself much
trouble, and get more light out of her
lamps, if she takes care of her lamp
wicks. The first object to be attained
toward getting well lighted lamp II
to get free flow of oil; the wick.
therefore, should be held to the fire
and thoroughly dried before using.
By this means it will quickly absorb
the oil, and the flow is not impeded.
Another way is to soak the wick In
vinegar and then dry it thoroughlys
this prevents smoking. In some oils
there is sediment which sinks to the
bottom of the reservoir and adheres
to that part of the wick that lies there.
Oil will not flow through'a dirty wick,
and without good flow there is Little
light. Foul wicks should be washed
or boiled in soft water and soap, then
rinsed and we'll dried. Another thing
to be carefully borne in mind is that
the reservoir of the lamp should al
ways be kept filled; if the oil is low
the flow is imperfect and the wick be-
comes charred. The lamp would then
give poor light and emit disagree
able smell. So you see, like every
thing else, little attention to lamp
wicks in the first instance will save q
great deal of trouble and incon-
venience. New York Telegram.

KEROSENE EMULSION.

Plant lice, scale and other insects
which get their living by suction can.
not be poisoned, says the Massachu-
sets Ploughman. Something must be
used that will kill by contact. Kero.
sene emulsion is best. This emulsion
is made by dissolving one pound of
soft or hard soap in one gallon of boil
ing water. While this solution is still
very hot add two gallons of kerosene,
and quickly begin to agitate the whole
mass through syringe or force pump,
drawing the liquid into the pump and
forcing it back into the dish. Con.
tinue this for five minutes OF until
the whole mass assumes a creamy col
or and consistency which will adhere
to the sides of the dish and not glide
off like oil. 1t may now be diluted
with cold rain water, or the whole
mass may be allowed to cool, when it
will assume a semi.solid form not un-
like loppered milk. This standard
emulsion, if covered and placed in a
dark, cool place, will keep for long
time. In making dilution from this
cold emulsion, it is necessary, first, to
dissolve it in two or three parts of
boiling water, and then add what is
necessary of cold soft water.

REMOVE THE SHOES OFTEN.

R. Boylston Hall says in Colman's s
Rural World there comes up another
and fully as important point in the
matter of keeping the feet of the colts
and mature animals trued, balanced,
in proper proportion and in proper
angle to the limbs they support, so
that the articulation shall be as near
smooth and frictionless as possible,
and that is, never allow the shoes to
remain on the feet longer than three
weeks, when they should be removed,
reset, or new ones put on, as the case
may require. The Importance of this
is obvious. The feet in a healthy
state of growth grow about three
eighths of an inch each month and they
grow irregularly; therefore, to keep
the animal "plumb on his pins" ad-
vantage must be taken of the irregu-
larIties of growth by observing the
rule pointed out, as to duration OF
time the shoes should remain on the
feet without removal.
Some people have prejudice against
removing the shoes SO often, and it Is
only prejudice. When the shoes are
removed as often rs directed, it is but
a few moments job to do what trihe
there is to be done to the foot with
the rasp only. 1t is but shaving off
here and there, and the foot is true,
balanced, and in proper angle again,
and it will be easily kept SO with just
this little bit OF care; and does any
one owning q horse begrudga the lit
tie time and expense required to keep
him in this perfect condition of bal
ance, therefore in comfort: 1 hope
not, Tor owners, let me tell you, you'll
be the winners "by large m&iority"
in the capacity of your animal to per
form It's duties, and in the resultant

THE WEATHER BUREAU.

There is no question of the value of
the forecasts of the Weather Bureau
for the use OF farmers. 1t is not a
waste of money in any way, and as
the farmers are quite as dependent on
the weather as sailors are for the safe
prosecution of their business, it must
be considered good use of the public
money to spread this information for
the benefit of farmers. One farmer
who yearly cuts more than 100 acres
of hay has the reports telegraphed to
him from the nearest large city every
day, and in this way, has for two years
past escaped any injury or stoppage
of the haying, getting in every load
dry and IN the best condition. This
is easily worth fifty times the cost Of
the information. 1t would be a good
thing for the majority of farmers to
take one of the daily papers of the
nearest large city, if fo. no other use
than TO get these weather prognosti-
cations. New York Times.

There was saloon across the street. and ne

CHEAP oRCHARD-sPRAY1NG OUTFIT.

all the leading pump manufacturers Of
this country, and ready.ftted appa-
ratus, consisting of pump, spray tank
or barrel, and nozzle with hose, are
on the market in numerous styles and
at prices ranging from 500 upward.
The cost of a spraying outfit for
orchard work may, however, be con-
siderabiy reduced by purchasing
merely the pump and fixtures and
mounting them at home on a strong
barrel. An apparatus Of this sort,
representing style that has proven
very satisfactory in practical expert
ence, is illustrated in the accom-
panying figure. 1t is merely a
strong pump with an air chamber
to give a steady stream pro-
vided with two discharge hose pipes.
One of these enters the barrel aud
keeps the water agitated and the poi
son thoroughly intermixed, and the
other and longer one is the spraying
hose and terminates in the nozzle.
The spraying hose should be about
twenty feet long, and may be fastened
to light pole, preferably of bamboo,
to assist in directing the spray. The
nozzle should be capable of breaking
the water up into fine mist spray,
so as to wet the plant completely with
the least possible expenditure of
liquid. The two more satisfactory
nozzles are those of the Nixon and the
vermorel type. A suitable pump with
nozzle and hose may be obtained of
any pump manufacturer or hardware
dealer at cost OF from Sl3 to SIS.
If one with brass fittings be secured
it will also serve for the application
of fungicides. The outfit outlined
above may be mounted on a cart OF
wagon, the additional elevation &C.
cured in this way facilitating the
spraying of trees, or for more extend
ed operations the pump may be
mounted on large water tank"

An Odd Happening,

A lumber schooner which lately ar.
rived at San Francisco reports an odd
happening. When three days out
from Gray's Harbor, on dark night,
there suddenly appeared in the west q
huge meteor, which looked as large as
the moon. 1t seemed to grow larger
in size to the frightened watch on
deck, and was apparently bearing
down on the vessel. But it wasn't, or
else no one would have lived to tell
the tale. 1t passed across the bows
and plunged into the sea, 300 yards
away. An explosion took place. which
was like a great clap of thunder, when
the meteor struck the water, and then
nil became dark. Atlanta Constitu-

Engraving by Sand Blast.

The sand blast is now regularly used
by London firm in engraving itho-
graphic stones. The whole surface of
the stone is first impregnated with
grease, so that if linked it will print a
uniform black. The sand blast is then
allowed to play on the surface under
most careful control. Its action is to
remove entirely the grease from all
portions that are not to print-that is
to say, intended to. show white; to
granulate or mvre or less destroy it
upon those parts which are to give
different tones of shading, and to
leave it intact upon those that are to
print black. All that remains of the
original CREASED surface alone prints,
the stones being wetted as usual prior
to linking for every impression. Chi

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

A fretful, nervous,horse is, as rule
a poor article to start out with on 6
long campaigning tour.

of remedies.
The man who buys now and breeds
his horses intelligently will have
youngsters ready for the market when
there will be plenty Of men willing tc
buy at good prices.
Professor Warrington, in his inau.
gural lecture at Oxford, England, said
that IN the full adoption of scientific
methods lay the only hope of placing
the agricultural industry on sound
basis. Professor Warrington is good
authority.
Avoid the lunkhead horses; breed
the best; breed none but the best
breed from nothing but your best, and
look out sharp to improve on the next
cross, and wherever your dam is lack
ing be sure the sire you use is not
lacking in the same point, and. if pos.
sible, not lacking in any essential
qualification.
There are plenty of instance of high
ly successful race horses and producers
of race horses that were so far from
being high spirited that they were
called loafers by those who came in
contact with them. Joe Patchen is q
successful race horse, and all who have
seen him race have noticed his "soldier-
ing" characteristics.
Any farmer who has dozen or more
apple or pear tree should have spray
ing apparatus and fsmiliarize himself
with the use of fungicides and insecti-
cides. The difference in value be-
tween a good and poor crop will
more than pay for the outfit, and it
often comes handy for spraying other
crops, such as potatoes, tomatoes, etc.
Some day it will be discovered that
certain kinds of horses are scarce, but
that several years will elapse before
the demand can be fully met. Rises
come as thief in the night. No one
is ever expecting them until it is too
late to stock up, but If everybody
knew just when the rise is to take
place there would be no rise.
Examine carefully the teeth of every
horse and colt on the place. II the
teeth are sharp and cut the cheeks

Sharp teeth will cause them to throw

the sake of the pocketbook, as well as
for the animals comfort in fly time, it
is far better to let the horse keep his

THE PERPETUAL PRESENCE.

Some of US think and say good deal
about "a sense Of his presence" sometimes
rejoicing in 1t, sometimes going mourning all
the day long because we have It not; pray
ing for it, and not always seeming to receive
what we ask; measuring our own position,
and sometimes even that Of others by 1t; now
on the heights, now in the depths about it.
And all this April like gleam and gloom, In
stead of steady summer glow, because we
are turning our attention upon the sense OF
his presence instead OF the changeiess
reality OF it, All our trouble and disappoint-
ment about II is met by his own simple word,
and ranishes in the simple faith that grasps
it. for if Jesus says simply and absolutely,
do with feeling or sense about it? We
have only to believe it and to recollert 1t.
And it is only by thus believing and rec 1llect'
ing that we can realize it.

REALIZE 1T THOROUGHLY.

It Is methodical not an accidental world.
II the housewife turns out good cake, 1t Is
the result of a sound receipt, carefully ap-
piled. She cannot mix the assigned ingre-
dents and fire them for the appropriate time
without producing the result. 1t Is not she
who has made the cake; it is nature. She
brings related things together; sets causes at
work these causes bring about the result.
She is not creator, but an intermediary.
She does not expect random causes to pro-
duce specific effects-random ingredients
would only produce random cakes. So it is
in the making Of Christian experiences.
Certain lines are followed: certain effects are
the result. These effects cannot but be the
result But the result can never take place
without the previous cause. To expect re-
suits without antecedents is to expect cakes
without ingredients. That impossibility Is
precisely the almost universal expectation.-

mutual understanding, mutual confidence
and trust Think OF some friends with
whom you have fellowship. How comfort

counsel, how comfortable the freedom
of Intercourse and the absence Of dis
trust or suspicion! And think Of having
fellowship like that with God Can there
be anything else so desirable, so hopeful,
helpful, restful. so al-satisfying as this! Can
it be possible that there should be compan-
ionship, sharing of interests, accord OF spirit,
mutual confidence and trust between my
heart and God? Cad it be that he desires it2
