NIpPNNG RAspRERnY CANES.

On land rich enough to produce a
large crop of berries there is always
liability of the plants running up tall
and weakly, so that if they fruit the
stalks will break down. 1t is far
better to pinch the ends of new shoots
towards the last of June, throwing
the sap back upon the stalk, making
it thicker, and inducing the formation
of new branches. This greatly in
creases the productiveness of all the
red raspberries, besides making the
canes less likely to be broken down.
The black-cap raspberries should be
nipped for another reason. They are
propagated by burial of the tip end
in the soil. If the shoot grows with
out check there will be Just one tip to
be gained from it, But il its growth is
checked when 81 feet high there will
be numerous branches put forth from
the stalk, each one of which will de.
velop the long, naked and snake .like
tip, which will bend down and root it.

been well cultivated there need be nc
attempt made to root the tip, as il
will readily root itself whenever raiI
comes to moisten the soil. So soon al
the new tip is we'll rooted it IS we'll tt
cut the stem which binds it to the ole
stock, so that winds swaying it will
not uproot the new plant. A second
cut should be made eight to ten o.
twelve inches from the principal cane
and these spurs will next year beal

NOVEL EXERCISE For THE DULL.

wish to tell the stock growing
readers of the Ploughman how 1
worked my bull without taking him
out of his stall. A few years ago had
a fine Jersey bull three years old. He
was kind, but at times when l took
him out he was rather hilarious. be-
came suspicious of him, as he had no
ring in his nose, and thought must,
in some way, give him exercise. Fin
ally adopted the following plan: /
rolled into his stall, in front of him, a
stone, nearly round, that weighed
about 300 pounds. 1t seemed to be
Just what he wanted. He attacked it
as he would another bull; he rolled
It over and over; he went down on his
knees and rubbed his head against it,
then up ard went at it again. He had
very slim horns, and he wore them
Off over an inch he worked at it until
he became thoroughly exhausted, and
laid down to rest. Ever after that,
when hs needed exercise, he would
Ilay with that stone. He had it for a
year, aud always exercised himself in
that wav. ] had no trouble with him,
and he kept his horns well worn off.

TO RETAIN COLOR.

If you desire to retain the color in
any wash material, be careful 10 soak
it thoroughly in cold water before you
give it out for washing. II calicoes
are washed in cold water, dried and
ironed, the colors become fast and
thereafter you need have no fear when
you send them out TO be laundered.
You may demonstrate the efficacy of
cold water in this respect by dipping
piece of cloth in ink. Wash it in
cold water and you will find that tho
ink retains all its pristine blackness /;
dip it in hot water aud it will become
fainter.

A CUTE aoBpLER.

II there is anything gives dignity TO
a farmyard, it is a gobbler strutting
around, so thought the other day,
when taking a survey OF a poultry
yard, writes A. +. @. Maskell. How
proudly the gobbler holds his head !
How the trail of his stiff robe rattles
upon the ground How he shows his
blue blood Alb, yes, he is q magni-
ficent bird, and wise as we'll. / have
known him to do many q thing which
must require something more than
mere instinct.
All kinds of tales have come to me
of gobblers, some elmost too wonder
full to be true, and yet they are
vouched for by reliable parties.
The lady with whom 1 board was
telling me about how very cute her
gobbler was. She says, after her
turkey hens went to sitting, the COB
bier seemed very lonely, and at last
hunting up some white stones he be-
gan sitting on them-only leaving the
place to receive his food.
Suppose we set the gobbler," said
member of the family, and thirty
FIVE eggs were placed under him, every
one of which Matched but two; and
then how proud this gobbler was of
his thirty.three little chicks 1t is said
he was as beautiful as a picture with
them all running after him and seek
ing shelter under his wings in time of
a storm. He cared for them faithfully
until they were large enough to take
care of themselves, then he wandered
off among the turkeys again. He had
found that a gobbler could raise a
family as we'll as a turkey-hen and

CHARCOAL ron PIGS.

Charcoal is good for pigs, and they
may safely eat us much of it as they
wish, which will be only a small guam
lity, when their instincts lead them to
do it. The custom of feeding swine in
closed pens is not wholly conducive to
good digestion OF the food, and the
pigs frequently suffer from sourness
of the stomach, which is neutralizod
by the charcoal, which is often used
in medicine for this same trouble.

Photos raphing the Eye.

Ala recent meeting of the Paris
Academy of Medicine, reports the New
York Times, NJ. Guinkoif stated that
he had successfully photographed the
interior of the eye. The advantages
of this method are important, since it
enables actual pictures of the disease
of the retina to be secured and COM
pared from time to time TO determine
whether disease processes of the eye
progress or not. The picture is made
in two seconds. The apparatus can
thus serve as an ophthalmoscope, and
any number of persons can thus OBJ
serve the results.

WOnderful Changes in Fish's Color

In France they have a species OF
trout called the "blaok burn" He is
almost pure black when taken from
the water, but changes color to suit
the receptacle in which he is put. In
a white jar the creature changes to a
pure albino in from two to three days,
but changes back to black when put in
dark vessel. In a common pottery
jar he becomes a brick color, and in n
glass globe he becomes SO transparent
that be can scarcely be seen.

BGGGrNG GRAPES.

Not so much is written now rs used
to be about bagging grapes to keep
them from insect enemies or fungous
diseases. The object is much better
accomplished by spraying with the
Bordeaux mixture. The bags required
good deal Of labor to apply, and at
the low rate that grapes have lately
sold for, it did not pay. Besides, il
was found that the protection made
the grape skins more tender, so that
they we're less prepared for long trans
portation or for long keeping. Bag.
ging grapes is still practiced by am
ateurs, but it is practice likely to be
confined to them.

NAIith n better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper et-
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts

the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to n constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why IL is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial

one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the

HOW THE CRADLE CAME TO
ROCK.

1t was an old wooden cradle, unpaint-
ed and heavy. 1t had held two genera.
tions of babies. Great grandmother
Donnovan's babies had slept under it's
bright quilt while she spun fax on her
little wheel beside it. not even stopping
in her work as she now and then gave it
fresh movement with her foot.
Hardly was the last of these thirteen
babies able to walk, when Grandfather
Donovan began keeping house. and his
ten little ones, one after another kept
the cradle rocking for many years more.
Then it seemed to be through with SER
vice.
The children grew up, and went away
The old house was very quiet. Grand
mother Donovan and Uncle Robert,
who never married, were all who re.
manned in it. Years after. grandmother
went into the attic one day after some
herbs, when, happening to look across
the room, she saw that the cradle under
the caves was rocking! 1t would swing
rapidly to and fro for time, and then
almost stop. when some unseen power
would set it going again, just as it used
to do when Great-grandmother Donno-
van sat beside it. years ago.
Grandmother always prided herself on
her courage; but it was some time before
she grew brave enough to cross the at
tic and find out what made the cradle
rock. Then what do you think she
found? Three of the sweetest, plump
est little kittens you ever saw
They were having great frolc; and,
as they rolled over each other and
jumped up on the sides of the cradle,
they kept it rocking quite as it used
to do.
Tabby had had sad experience with
kittens. They had always mysteriously
disappeared in day or two. and she had
learned to be very reserved concerning
her domestic affairs.
GRANDMOTHER knew there were kittens
somewhere, and the barn and shed had
been carefully searched. She had even
looked in sundry boxes and barrels in
the attic; but nobody had thought of
the cradle, the most natural place in the
world for babies.
Perhaps Tabby had some dim idea
that all the life which the old cradle
held would be sacred; for she came up,
rubbing confidently against grandmoth-
er's dress, and jumped. purring, in
among the kittens. who scrambled after
her.
Grandmother's face grew very tender
as she looked down on the old dented
cradle, with its faded patchwork quilt.
"Your babies are safe, Tabby." she
said.-Martha III. PilIsbury. in the

SCHOOL FOR MONKEYS IN CAL
CUTTA.

There has just been founded in Cal
cutta an institution for the education Of
monkeys. A young monkey is taken.
and before him is placed a set of blocks
on which are painted in capitals the let
ters of the alphabet. These blocks are,
in fact. exactly similar to those which
children play with in every civilized
country in the world. and they are used
in precisely the same way as il the mon
key were a young specimen of the hu-
man race.
There is one professor for each mon
key. and the monkey is taught by means
of the blocks to spell certain words. Ii
the word is fruit" for example, the
monkey, after having been taught to ar
range the block 80 as to spell the word
quickly and without error, receives bit
of fruit as his reward. The same exer-
else is repeated with other words, and it
is hoped that in time the simians will
learn how to read, spell. and understand
English, if they cannot speak it. Only
young animals are taken. There is no
danger of this queer school lacking for
scholars, as there are thousands Of mon
keys to be found in that part Of India
where Calcutta is situated. An effort
will also be made. it is said, to educate
these beasts 30 that they may become
fairly efficient domestic servants. The
school is so young as yet. however. that
what it will accomplish is entirely
matter of speculation. Its professors"
are enthusiastic about their novel work,
and seem to think that a new field of
usefulness will be opened up for these
chattering little beasts.-Journdl DIES
