uTrERIY usELhss.

AT atemperance mass meeting in ST. Paul
the Rev. John Gmoiner called attention to
tho utter usolessness OF the liquor traffic,
Liquor was not nourishing. God could no
moro be blamed with creating alcohol than
with creating carrion, for alcohol was the
product OF corruption. Nor, again, was al
cohol medicine. Within the last twenty
five years some OF the worlds greatest ply
sicians have declared that there was no dis
ease, no surgical case, that could not be
treated bettor without alcohol Doctor Davis,
known to all his profession, had declared,
after long observation, that alcohol afforded
but temporary relief at the most, aud that
persons who recovered under its administra-
tion would have recovered sooner under
other treatment.
The saloon had been called 1.-The poor man. s
club" Sc 1t would always be. Its constant
patron would indeed remain a poor man.
lntemporHnce was especially the curse Of
the laborcr. Yet Terence Powderly OF tho
United States, and John Burns, of England,
had said to the workingmen; unless you
give up drink, there is no hope for you.
When YOU had given up drink, the labor
question is solved" Liquor was mott food, ,
not medicine, not a permanent source o.
pleasure.

You cAN'r HURRY THE HEN.

When fowls don't lay as many eggs
as We think they ought to, especially
at this season of the year, we naturally
do something to stir them up-feed
meat and egg producing food. If we
are not quite familiar with this line of
procedure, we are apt to look for al
most immediate results, and are quite
sure to be disappointed.
We can feed COWS for an increased
supply of milk and get it quickly, be-
cause the process between the diges-
tion and the making of milk is rapid /;
not so the process between the fowl
and the egg. The egg is quite COM
plicated, not only in its entire struc.
ture but in the process of putting on
the shell-the last process, however,
being the quickest performed. The
germ of the egg being there, all that is
required are the proper conditions to
mature it-and time.
How long time? Well, about two
weeks at least. In other words, it is
a matter of haste on our part and q
matter of taking it easy on the part oi
the fowls.-Poultry Monthly.

AM AncIcnt and sedalc Roan.

People passing by the building
which is being erected by the Ladd
estate at the corner OF Third and
Washington streets, in Portland, Ore,
frequently stop TO admire an ancient
and sedate roam horse, which operates
the construction elevator in the build
ing. The horse is attached to the
elevator by rope, and rs he passes
up and down his beat, one elevator
rises and the other descends. When
a laborer deposits a wheelbarrow load
OF bricks on the elevator below, and
an empty barrow is placed on the ono
above, a cowboy iiugles upstairs, aud
tho old horse, after moments reaec-
tion, settles himself into his collar
and goes ambling along to the end of
his beat, while the elevator goes up.
When it reaches the top the horse
waits a minute for the wheelharrows
to be changed, waits another on gem
eral principles, and then slowly turns
around and awaits the signal TO go
ahead again. These proceedings he
keeps up all day long. No one ever
says anything to him, or interferes with
him, and he always attends exclusively
TO his own business, New Orleans
Picayune.

WEAVING THE CALF.

The sympathetic bond between the
COW aud the calf is worth considering.
1t is a natural bond and it pays to re-
gard nature. On account of this sym
pathetic bond it is common for the
COW TO shrink In her milk yield
through the worry caused by separat.
ing her from her calf. We have set
tied down to the following practice MS
the most satisfactory in our case: The
first night allow the calf to remain
with the COW. The succeeding night
turn it in to suckle and then remove
it until morning, when it is again per-
mitted to suck. As soon as the milk
is good milk the COW, but have the
calf by her side while you are milk
ing. Tie so she can SEQ the calf and
perhaps fondle it, and she will be
reconciled to the operation at once,
aud the change is made without any
worry on the part of the COW or the
owner. She soon takes no heed
whether the calf is there or not, and
the weanIng is accomplished without
even protest on her part. -Rurll

GaLIlerIng the Lemon Cron.

There is no season IN California for
gathering lemons, as is the case with
all other fruits grown in this country.
For that reason a grower saves money
in his harvest, because with the help
of enc person he can easily gather and
take care of all the fruit grown in q
grove of ten or fifteen acres. Tho
times when most lemons are picked
are early in January, early in Feb.
ruary and again in March; but all
we'll cultivated trees have fruit ready
for picking during ten months of the
year. For that reason the lemon is an
uncommonly steady and prolific
bearer.
Lemons are picked when tho fruit
begins to show the least tinge of yell
low. Tho grower and an assistant go
carefully over each Of the trees in the
grove, and gather all the lemons that
have reached that stage of develop
ment. The fruit is cut from the
branches aud laid in padded baskets or
bags, so as to avoid any bruises or
blemishes. The best growers are care
full to gather only fruit of one size /;
for instance, all that will Just pass
through q two-and-a-quarter-inoh ring.
From the grove the lemons are taken
TO the curing g-house. II the grower is
a man of means, and grows lemons at
all extensively, he may have his own
curing and packing establishment, but
generally in Southern California a

upholstered furniture that cannot be
moved, whip it lightly, then wipe with

Dust down the pictures and tables be-
fore sweeping to remove the old dust
that may be there. Sweep slowly aud
evenly, with long, smooth strokes,
after rolling and pinning mp the cur.

Let the dust settle for half au hour.
Then, with a clean soft cloth, go over
all the furniture in and out of the
room, shaking the dust cloth often in
the open air to rid it OF gritty dust.
A room swept in this manner will re.
main clean for days, whore hours will
suffice to litter up the room swept in
