TO CLEAN GLOVES AT HOME.

OA@A1hA~
To clean gloves with gasoline first
stretch them either on frame or on
your own hand. Have abundance of
clean flannel and cotton near by.
With little benzine on small piece
Of flannel go over the entire glove,
finger by finger. As soon as the fan
mel becomes soiled exchange it for
clean. Do not use enough benzine to
saturate the leather, but simply
enough to clean off the soiled spots.
Rub the gloves from the finger tips,
generally downward and upward, and
not in circular way or across the
leather. After using the gasoline on
a soft spot rub it with clean flannel
until it seems perfectly dry.
Only the very highest quality of
benzine, or, better still, gasoline can
be used. When the gloves are thor
oughly cleaned rub them with clean
flannel and abundance of talcum pow
der. This powder can be bought at
any first class drug store, and ten
cents worthis ordinarily enough for a
years supply. Rub the leather thor
oughly in every part with this talcum
powder. 1t makes the glove not only
pliable and pleasant to wear, like a
new glove, but it puts soft bloom on
the leather. Milwaukee Journal.

A HORSE THAT CANNOT BE LED.

1t is the fault of the training that q
horse cannot be led by halter. This
should be the first lesson taught to the
colt. 1t is difficult to teach an old
horse, but it may be done by an ex-
perienced person by using strong
halter, and taking short hold of it, SO
as to control the head, and thus lead
ing the horse in small yard. Possi-
bly, the horse has becn whipped for
this fault, and the association of ideas
causes his refusal. Try little sugar.
Poultry should not be kept in horse
stable, as they are usually infested by
lice, which then 90 on to the horses.
Horses have been worried to death in
this way without the cause being sus.
pected. Mix pint of kerosene with
as much strong solution of common
soap, in hot water, and beat up to p
cream. Add a quart of water, and
beat it up some more, and sponge the
horses with the emulsion, brushing it
we'll into the hair. It will kill the lice.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Do not grain-feed the fowls too
heavily.
May is not too late to plant sun
flower seeds.
Keep the brooder as near 100 do.
grees as possible.
See that the poultry houses are kept
clean and free from bad odors these
days.
Have some regard for the comfort of
your focks. Feed more---most any,
thing than corn in hot weather.
Hyacinthus Candicans are stately
and majestic in appearance. They
grow from bulbs and should be taken
up in the fall.
If the hens are confined be sure
they are induced to scratch for their
living. And give them some green
stuff every day.
Plenty of fresh water, lime, gravel
and green stuff are just as necessary
now as in winter. Do not neglect
furnishing these.
The little chicks should have shade
and water, but not drafts and wet.
Tight roofs. dry floors but fresh
drinking water handy to be constantly
gotten at.
If you wish sure blooming rose.-.
one that is hardy, beautiful in color,
clean and strong in foliage, and pro
fuse in Towering, just plant the Mrs.
John Laing and you will have it.
Poultry raisers are cautioned
against permitting the fowls to spend
the hot summer days exposed to the
direct rays of the sun. A board OF
two raised even two feet from the
ground will pro ie shade.
1t is useful to know that the natu.
raj enemy OF the common green lice
of plants is the pretty little ladybug,
and to catch few of these and set them
free on alice-infested plant will quick
ly result in the disappearance of the
troublesome pests.
The old Turner red raspberry is one
of the most reliable, and is noted for
its hardness. We are not thinking
OF dlscardlng 1t yet, III spite OF the
new kinds offered. 1t is of delicious
flavor and sweet, unsur.
passed for the home table and market,
although too soft for distant shipm ent.
While it produces many suckers these
are no disadvantage where proper cul-
ture is given. The canes are strong
and thornless, which is indeed good
point in their favor. They should be
cut low, say three and half to four
feet, and will need no stakes or wires

Journeying in Madagascar.

The bulk of my baggage had beer
left in Tamatave, and was to be sent
on by the next monthly French mail
steamer to Zanzibar, my ultimate des.
tination. expected to meet like
steamer at Nosy Be, q French port and
island on the northwest coast, with
which I learned might connect by
means of small French steamer which
periodically served the principal ports
on the west coast of the island. By
thus crossing Madagascar I hoped to
familiarize myself with its three great
races. The Sakalavas on the western
portion Of the island have always
borne bad name, which they have in
part merited, though high-handed
aggressions of foreis ners ought often
to be urged in mitigation thereof. l
was warned to keep my revolver in
readiness and my escort near at hand,
and SO determined to take chances OF
a safe passage to the sea. The direct
distance from the capital to Mojanga
is two hundred and forty miles in q
general northwest direction, though
this distance, by many deviations and
changes of level, is heightened by the
travelled route into about three hun
dred and eleven miles. OF this latter
distance some two hundred miles are
by land in flanzana and the remainder
by water in pirogue and dhow, or
small sailboat. The total journey may
readily be accomplished in ten days
The country through which l would
have to pass was said to divide itself
naturally into three sections: the first
was similar to that eastward of the
capital, treeless region of moors and
hills. This was the most inhabited.
It consisted OF four broad terraces
which fell rapidly toward the sea. The
road, however, leading as it did OBJ
liquely across these terraces, presented
on the whole easy gradients. Their
came section of nearly uninhabited
wilderness. wooded and undulating

tivated hills and plains of the Sakal
avas, Popular Science Monthly.

CULTIVATION TO PROMOTE FERTILITY.

The first purpose in cultivation is
to make the soil fine, SO that seeds
may germinate freely in it, and the
roots of plants may run freely through
it. But an object scarcely less i'm
portant is to increase soil fertility
by mixing surface and under soil to-
gether, and thus promoting their fer
mentation. 1t is for this that corn
potato ground is narrowed after the
seed is planted. On moderately rich
soil two such civilizations are equal to
the addition of several loads of man.
ure per acre. An incidental advan-
tage is that such narrowing of the
surface destroys all weeds as quickly
as their seeds germinate. - Boston

NEW FORAGE CROPS.

New forage crops have been tested
for years at the Massachusetts Station,
twenty-seven different crops having
been grown last year that are adapted
to Ohio and the Middle States. DR..
Goessman advised raising mixed crops,
say summer vetch and oats, as they
produce larger yields than when
grown singly. Sow together forty to
forty-five pounds summer vetch to four
bushels oats, and seed early in June.
Tho fodder is highly nutritious, and
may be cnt green and fed for two or
three weeks or cured for hay. Sown
at various times, it will grow through
the season. Vetch and oats, or vetch
and barley, will both cut three and q
half to four tons Of dry hay per acre.
The latter make an excellent fodder,
containing sixteen to seventeen per
cent. protein, in digestive value corre-
spends with clover, does not need
grain, and can be used az either green
feed, ensilage or dried hay. Barley is
not as good as onts Winter vetch
ought to come rp in April. Rye sown
the previous fall should make good
early feed. Scrradalla produces
twelve to thirteen tons of green feed
per aero. II green feed for the season
Is wanted, begin With vetch and oats,
then green sofa bears, and later sera-
della. Be- August l. or when the ker-
nels glaze, greeu fodder may be cut.
While The average cut of hay is but
one ton per acre, oats aud votch will
produce three and l,alf times MS
much weight, with fifty per cent. more
food value. .-Amer;caa ksr:culturist.

Some Old Legal Freaks.

There is said to be law in Massa-
chusetts making it an offense to give
away On object or thing as an induce
ment to purchase other things; for
example, to give away picture with
every certain amount of other things
purchased. There was once a law
which made it an offense for man to
kiss his wife ON Sunday, but was
strangely silent about kissing some
other mans wife. Many man still
living can remember when it was not
permissible to open the theatres in
Boston on Saturday evenings. and
there was law to punish any dissi-
pated individual found smoking on the
street. Somo of these fantastic old
legal freaks have been done away with,
but there are scme communities
which, like some individuals, require
quite an unconscionable time to get
wide awake. boston Traveller.

cRysrAL1z1Na FRUITS.

Few confections are moro delicious
than candied fruit, and, too, few
sweetmeats are more expensive, sixty
cents pound being the regulation
price, and pound represents very
small amount. They can be prepared
at about half the cost, however, at
home, if care is taken.
Cherries, currants, pine-apples,
apricots, pears and peaches are best
experimental upon. The two former
can be used in lunches; the pine
apple is sliced across the fruit, each
piece being good quarter inch thick |;
apricots are cut on one side and the
stone slipped out, while pears and
peaches are halved, and, of course,
peeled.
Make very thick syrup, pound for
pound, adding for each pound small
cup of water. Bell the sugar first,
then drop in the fruit, and when they
have boiled clear take out and drain
from the syrup. If the cherries are
stoned (the red oxhearts make the
finest, being not so sweet as the white
and without the rank tartness of the
sour red ones), it is nice to string
them on a broom splint as they can be
more cleverly handled.
Sprinkle literally with powdered
sugar, lay on sieve, and set the fruit
in a warm oven. / used wire dish,
such as our grandmothers kept fruit
in, set within another dish to catch
the syrup. In two hours turn the
fruit, sprinkle with sugar again.
Keep this up until the sugar has all
dripped out. On no account have the
oven hot, as it will dry the fruit and
leave it like so much leather. And.
of course, the fruit must be laid in
single rows when drying.
When the juice has evaporated and
the sugar has formed glazed surface,
put away in boxes in dry place.
Waxed paper should be laid between
each layer. A bureau drawer is as
good place as any to keep them. -
