PIE PLANT.

Rhubarb fills distinct want com
ing as it does ut season when ma
ture Graves green food, while its acid
ity stimulates the languid appetite. 1t
is surprising that it is not more gem
orally grown. Only few plants are
necessary for n family supply, and,
once established little labor is there
after required.
Rhubarb roots should be set out
early in rich and manured soil.
The plant has no insect enemies and
is subject to no diseases. The stalk is
always clean and perfect and responds
to good culture by producing an
abundance of fat stalks for years.
When the plants begin to show signs
of failing they should be taken up,
divided and reset into permanent
patch. Rhubarb may also be grown
from seed. This should be sown like
carrots, in rich soil, and the plants
thinned to a few inches apart. In the
fall or spring they can be set out in a
permanent patch. New York World

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Turnips are one of the best-paying
crops.
Manure and cultivation should go
hand in hand.
Cold storage for fruit is strongly
recommended.
More tomatoes are used than any
other vegetable.
The cherry does we'll with grass
about the roots.
Thinning the fruit improves both
quantity and quality.
Cut hay. with ground feed, is most
economical for horses.
Do not manure the roots of young
trees when setting them.
If only the best fruits are grown
there will be little danger of overdo-
ing the fruit business.
The italian is the most prolific and
best all-around bee. With its long
tongue it is able to go right to the
bottom of the flowers as the black bee
cannot.
There should be a remedy some
where; much OF our seed wheat is
wasted when we SOW one and one
fourth bushels to the acre, and get in
return but ten or twenty. Expert
ments show that grain OF wheat pro-
duces forty fold. Every pound should
bring forty.

SUMMER DRESS AND HAT.

A small bonnet OF chip is trimmed
with side.plaited crepe lisse, with
satin stripes running through the
edge. This lisse is made into loops,
rosettes and fluffy plaitings, and all
through it are sprays of delicate flow
ers, the forget-me-nots. heather,
small .violots and spirm being notice
able for their beauty. There are
many pretty bonnets with jet edges,
also bonnets made entirely of Jet with
trimming OF ribbon.loops and jetted
aigrets. These bead bonnets are
heavy, which is the only objection to
them, rs they are extremely stylish
and becoming to almost every one.
There are bonnets with large, puffy
crowns with the edges of chip, also a
great deal of open-work braid made
into plaitings, rOsettes and coronets.

COMPOSITION OF MAPLE SAP.

1t is n frequent remark among maple
sugar makers that the soft maple has
comparatively less sweetness in its sap
than the common Rock or sugar maple
usually tapped for sugar making. This
idea is not confirmed by the expert
ments of Professor A. w. Morse and 4.
H. Wood of the New Hampshire Sta
ton in a bulletin recently issued. A
large number of trees were tapped and
the sweetness of sap depended more
on the character of top and its expos
ure or non-exposure to the sunlight
than on its variety. Large, bushy
tops, with full exposure to the sun,
gave sap with the greatest percentage
of saccharose. There is great varia-
ton in the quality of sap. That from
trees surrounded by pines gave much
the poorest sap and some of it was
hardly worth evaporating. A Rock
maple in a grove with small top
had only Is per cents sweetn ess
in the sap. A Rock maple in
pasture, with widespread top and
which has been used as a shade tree
for stock, had sap with 8. 6 per cent of
sugar. Soft naples grow usually in
swamps, rock naples on high and dry
grounds. The early sap is in all
cases the sweetest. There is deteri-
Grafton in quality even before the buds
begin to swell and the sap becomes
unfit to use. The syrups from soft
naples are inferior in quality and
color to those from the hard maple,
but if the soft maple grows on high
ground and has good exposure to the
sunlight its sap will make as much
sugar as the average of rock maple
under like conditions. The soft maple
has proportionably larger top than
hard maple, as it as a more rapid and
vigorous grower. Boston Cultivator.

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
FERTILIZER FoR ONIONS.

The principal food required by the
onion is phosphoric acid, and this
should be the dominant part of the
fertilizer used. But as well decayed
stable manure always produces n
large yield, fertilizer that con-
tains the elements of manure is
generally used for this crop. The
best soil is dark, light, sandy one,
we'll filed with decayed vegetable mat
ter, and moist rather than dry. 1t is
quite probable, considering the fact
that onions do their best on black
muck land, that this carbonoceous
matter is favorable to this plant, and
hence it may be that with any kind of
fertilizer liberal quantity of manure
well decayed, has an excellent effect.
The present demand is for white on
ions, and those of large size. New

TIE MopIsH coTFFURE.

There are two distinct styles of hair
dressing in vogue Mt the moment and
the modish woman must elect TO one
or the other, as she cannot affect
both without TN entire change OF nc-
cessories. With the little Dutch bon
nets worn far back ON the head, the
hair should be parted and drawn
plainly back, in what may be termed
q severe Colonial style. To the woman
which this style suits ut all, it is very
becoming, but there are other women
who cannot stand it, and the pity of
it is that such seem not to discover its
trying qualities.
Another, and the French mode, is
the loose all-around pompadour. This

all the leading women characters. The

GUS effects without a bonnet. with the

Az AnNoRMALLY PROLIFIC cow.

Ordinarily the offspring of COW
at calving consists of a single calf;
twins, at time are not very rare;
three are very rare; four oxtraordina-
rily rare. There appears to be no rec
ord of more than four calves at q
calving.
Louisville, KY, has now case of
three calves from one COW at n calving,
and this with some features that are
individual and peculiar. The COW
that is thus distinguished is the prop
erty of Mrs. Coleman, who lives in
Parkland at Can Run road and Wood
land avenue (; in that part of the city
resides Will Bro wn, dairyman, who,
Mt the date of service owned the sire
of the three calves These calves are
all healthy and strong and marked
alike and without deformity, even the
slightest. The markings correspond
to those of the sire, which is u Hol-
stein. The dam of these calves is
cummon lonff horn, built stoutly on
the scrub plan.
The following from Seattle" by
Youatt, great original Investigator
and authority on such subjects, will
indicate the scientific interest that at
taches, to this departure from the
common: "The opinion has prevailed
among breeders from time out of date
that when II COW produces two calves,
one male and the other female, the
male may become perfect but the fe-
male will be barren. There have been
instances of the COW producing three
calves ut one birth, but they have
been so rare that there is no record as
to fertility of the female. The editor
of the British Farmers Magazine
writes of three calves being produced
by n small COW of the mixed Jersey
anu iOThsuirc brccuS, Nnicu III blHc,
shape and make were fac simile OF
each other, and between which the
most minute observer could not de-
tect difference. There is still more
singular account in French periodi-
cal. A COW produced nine calves at
three successive births four at first,
all females three at the second, OF
which two were females; then two
females. All these, except two at the
first. were nursed by the mother" In
what we here have there appears to
be opportunity for solving some in
teresting problems. What say the sta
tions supported by the government,

RAISING TURKEYS.

To those who have large range for
their fowls the raising of turkeys will
add considerably to the income from
the poultry yard, with an expense
scarcely in proportion, says Beth Day
in Northwester Agriculturist, for tur-
keys are comparatively light eaters
besides being good foragers and cap
able of securing large amount OF
food for themselves, after they are
seven or eight weeks old, if they have
the opportunity. One great objection
with many is that they do not bear
close confinement we'll, and do best on
a large range.
Turkey eggs may be successfully
hatched, as well as hens eggs in q
good incubator, and by almost the
same treatment. The period of incu.
baton is twenty-eight days, varied
somewhat by the care they have re-
ceived and the freshness of the egg,
used. Strictly fresh eggs will hatcf
several hours, or from one to two
days earlier than will those that are
somewhat stale.

ten abroad that the young turkey
chicks are difficult to raise. They are
tender, and will not, when young,
bear either cold or wet, but aside from
that they are more henlthy-that is
they are subject to fewer diseases than
are hens.
With proper care, as large per-
centage of those Matched may he
raised, MS nre raised from an equal
number of young chickens. For the
first few days they should be fed on
hard boiled egg chopped fine, mixed
with bread crumbs and bread soaked
in new milk; later, crushed oats,
wheat, etc, may be given, (but not
raw corn or Indian meal), and the
curds from sour milk aud buttermilk.
They should be confined in some
cry and sheltered place until they are
three or four weeks old If Matched
by hen, put them in coop and if
Matched by an incubator, put in the
brooding pen, then if the flock is in
good condition, gradually allow their
freedom. Let them out short time
each day when the weather is favor
able and increase the time until they
are eight weeks old, then allow them
to run.
