The I.nte Garoen.

Even as late as the middle of
July more or less planting can he
done in the garden or truck patch.
Sweet corn can often be planted be-
tween the rows of potatoes when
the last cultivation is given, and
will supply sweet corn for the table
until cut off by frost. Bunch beans
or corn-tield beans may also be
planted at the same time. 1t will
be an advantage in planting any
kind of beans now to plant white
varieties, SO that if they are not
needed to use green they can be al
lowed to ripen and be harvested
and stored away to use during the
Winter.
Turnips may be sown the latter
part of this month. New ground,
if rich and not too high and dry,
makes GOOD SOIL In Whlcn 10 grow
turnips, and if it is a sandy loan
all the better Freshly MANFRED
land is not desirable soil in which
to grow turnips. Have the soil
thoroughly prepared in good filth,
and SOW the seed broadcast, taking
care to get it distributed evenly.
When it can be done the seed should
be sown on land that has been
freshly stirred, as a better germip-
alton of the seed can in this way
be secured.
This is one of the best times for
planting cucumbers for late pickles.
Make the hills rich by the applica-
ton of well-rotted manure, stirred
we'll into the soil. After planting
the seed press the soil down well
upon them. Use plenty of seed,
and then after the plants are up
we'll thin them out, leaving two or
three Of the most vigorous plants
in each hill.

Agricultural Notes.

i Stick to the sheep if wool is low.
The sheep will come out on top yet.
The wool grower is not getting
rich by many per cent. He needs
tariff or something else.
There has been a good deal of
poor lamb meat in the market this
season. 1t is tough and tasteless.
Montana leads the column this
year in the number of sheep within
its borders, followed by California,
Ohio and New Mexico in the order
named.
In seasons of scarcity of hay or
where hay is wanted for sale, and
corn is cheap, horses, cattle and
mules, may be brought through the
Winter in admirable condition on
straw fed in connection with corn.
Most vegetables, and especially
potatoes, contain large proportion
of starch, which in itself, is not
complete ration. There should be
some heterogeneous material fed with
the vegetables, and if mixed with
the feed so much the better.
Horses hard at work need water
between the morning and noon meal,
and also between noon and time for
closing the days work. Ii a hand
| full of oatmeal is thrown in a pail
of water it will prevent any danger
of injury, and it will also give
strength as well as refreshment.
Milk is perfect food for young
animals, it being what nature has
provided 1t contains all the nutri-
tive elements called for by the sys-
tenn, in the proportions needed, and
in such condition as to be more
easily available. Cows milk has a
nutritive ratio of about one to four,
just what the young pig wants.
Corn is the most valuable single
stock food known, and if it were to
be lost to US the calamity would be
immeasurable But its deficiencies
must be made up before its full
value is brought out. How shall
we do this? By feeding it in con-
nection with some substance which
is rich in what it (the corn is lack
ing, thus making one supplement

The word thoroughbred does not
mean, as many suppose, an animal
of pure blood, that is unmixed. If
so, any wild animal would be a
thoroughbred. The word thorough
bred is used to designate animals
bred from the best blood, but orr
ginally derived from mixture of
races, as the short-horn cattle, and
racing horses. The term more pro-
perly belongs to racing horses.

FARM Notes.


Remove all section boxes as soon
as completed and add empty ones.
Empty combs are valuable and
should receive the very best of care.
Dividing may be continued in
safety as long as the honey flow
lasts.
No one can afford to allow the
bees to build their own comb foun-
dalton.
Give bees plenty Of storage room.
1t will go a long way to prevent
swarming.
The entrance 10 the hives should
be near the ground, and the ground
around should be kept clean.
If there is comb In which bees
have died hang it in q good hive Of
live bees and they will clean it up.
If foundation is made from a
good quality of beeswax the bees
will thin it down to that of natural
comb in most cases.
Crates or surplus cases for hold.
ing the surplus section boxes should
be made neat in form, so that they
can be used for shipping.
Now is the season for extracting
honey There is much honey lost
and nothing gained by waiting for
the Gaping of the combs.
Wax should be well cleaned be-
fore it is made into foundation.
This is an easy matter to accom-
plish by melting it over a few times.
No honey taken warm from the
hive will bear closing up alright
in any considerable quantity, no
matter how well ripened it may be.
To secure as good quality of
honey as is obtainable and the great
est possible quantity OF the same,
extract it as soon as the combs are
full.
Italian bees are considered proof
against moth and worms, but the
o d black bees will not protect them
selves, and there is no way in which
it can be done.
The importance of filing the
frames full Of foundation cannot be
overestimated. This is the only
method we have of controlling the
supply of drones.
1t is hardly good economy TO wait
upon the bees to ripen pound of
honey while you can ripen a thou
sand pounds in the same time by
simply keeping it open, high and
dry, and letting it alone.
Any colony OF bees may be
changed to pure Italian stock by
simply removing the old queen and
Introducing an Italian in her stead.
In two or three months the stock
will be pretty much of the new
sueen, and pure Italian.
II the section boxes are properly
] constructed and adjusted in the
crates, leaving the opening just one
fourth of an inch, the queen will
seldom go into the surplus chamber,
but if she does it renders the comb
unfit for surplus in appearance.

Odd Dishes.

A Palatablo Menu with Recipes for tho
Odd Dishes.
In homes where Christmas is consid-
cred the high and holy festival of the
year all energies are directed towards
Its proper celebration. The house Is
redolent with the odor of pines;
wreaths are hung In the windows and
every outward and visible sign Is
made to emphasize the nature of the
festival. The table is in holiday trim
and the cooking savors Of the general
rejoicing. Dishes that never appear at
any other time now find place on the
menu. Holly and mistletoe are used
for the table decoration and many Of
the dishes are wreathed with foliage
The Christmas dinner has always its
plum pudding crowned with a sprig of
holly. The following menu and
recipes may be of assistance:
Oyster cocktails.
Salted almonds. Celery.
Toasted crackers. Halibut timbales.
Potato balls with cream sauce.
Roast turkey with chestnut stuffing.
Cranberry jelly.
Sweet potatoes Csulifower au gratin.
Roman punch
Broiled squads on fried mush.
Lettuce and radish salad,
Roquefort cheese. Waters.
Minoe pie. Pumpkin pie.
Frozen plum pudding.
Coffee. Bonbons.
Oyster cocktails are served in ice
shells made for this purpose or in
large claret glasses. Put five small
oysters into each glass. For one dozen
plates allow seven teaspoonfuls each
of prepared horse radish, tomato cat
sup and vinegar, ten teaspoonfuls Of
lemon juice and one of Tobasco sauce.
Thoroughly mix this dressing and put
an equal quantity into each glass.
Both oysters and dressing should be
very cold.
TO make the chestnut stuffing for
turkey, secure one quart Of large
French chestnuts, shell them and cook
them in boiling water until the skins
are loosened. Remove the brown
skins and again put the nuts into boil
ing water and cook them until they
are tender. While the nuts are still
hot rub them through a very coarse
sieve or colander. Mix with the sifted
nuts a very few bread crumbs and two
tablespooEfuls of melted butter, and
season with salt and pepper. Make
the mixture moist with little sweet
cream and fill the turkey, but do not
press the stuffing In closely; and the
bird is ready to roast.

A Christmas Bell.

Swing wide! send forth your swelling notes,
sweet bellsl
Once more It's Christmas-tide DER all the
earth;
No silver throat so sweet story tells;
The Christ was born-tbe stars sang at his
birth;
Celestial choirs the anthem rolled along,
And angel hosts gave chorus TO the song,
1t would almost SAVIOR Of sacrilege to
declare that the Christmas tree has
grown tiresome, but occasionally there
are souls brave enough to say so. For
those who feel that way about it,
welcome substitute Is found In the
christmas bell, which is made of three
or more hoops Of graded sizes. These
hoops are wreathed and hung, the
smallest at the top, the next in size
Just below 1t and so on; SO as to give
The effect Of a suspended bell The
ropes or cords by which the hoops are
eonnected and hung, are wound with
green. At the top they are brought to-
gether and fastened to ring in the
ceiling. Such hoops may be had OF
cooper are easy of adjustment and the
effect is very pleasing. The same or
paments uGed to adorn the regulation
tree are displayed on the hoops, and
the gifcs are attached by narrow rib
bons. which are cut when the pack
AGES are removed. A Japanese Ian
tern hung in the center of the bell Is
filled with notices, bonbons, etc, and
when the gifts have all been distrib-
uted blow from a cane breaks the
paper sides of the lantern, and a
shower of sweets makes glad the
hearts OF the wee folk of the party. If
the lantern is filed with flowers, the
downpour is equally pleasing and
rather daintier.

JOY of IN o Little Ones.

Christmas is the day of the little
folks. To them the old customs are
not beginning TO lose attractiveness.
As long as Santa Claus remembers TO
drive his sleigh over the roofs and nils
the stockings at the chimney corner,
so long as Christmas trees blossom
with marvellous fruit, and Father
Christmas with flowing beard and
deep-toned voice Is there TO take the
toys from the branches, so long Is the
Yuletide season n magic one to the
children. Holidays and presents, par
ties and new dresses, toys and can
dies, nuts, oranges colored tapers and
waxen fioors-it is fairyland come
anew, and the children love it.

Where have they gone to-the little girls,
With natural manners and natural curls,
Who love their dollies and like the toys
And talk Of something besides the boys?
little old women in plenty find,
Mature of manners and old OF mind;
Little old firts who talk OF their 'beaus,"
And vie with each other In stylish clothes.
Onoe, in the beautiful long ago.

Girls who we're merry as lambs at play,
And laughed and rollicked the livelong day.
Where have they gone to? II you see

Earl Hess, one of Espy's most
popular young men, died last Satur-
day morning from what is supposed
to have been internal hemorrhages.
For some time he had been troubled
with frequent bleeding Of the nose,
which soon so seriously affected and
weakened him that he was compelled
to abandon his work at DR.. Redeker's
in this place, and return to his home
in Espy. He however, grew rapidly
worse, the bleedings being with him
almost constantly, and although every
available means were used to save
his life, all were in vain. Funeral
services were held on Tuesday of this
week. He was in his 18th year.

70 the Times from Guthrie Okla, says:
News of a most remarkable occurrence
was received here today from Beaver
county. At the little postoffice town of
Grand. the Baptist congregation is
building a rather cornmodious church
containing a spire seventy-five feet
high The wood work of the steeple
was completed Thursday and on Fri
day morning James Ford and Harry
Sonrers, painters. were employed to
oil and paint the spire. They began
working from the bottom to the
top. using circular scaffolding. Yester-
dav afternoon at 4 o'clock While Som
ers and Ford were giving the finishing
touches to the top of the spire a thun
der STERN came UP, accompanied by
fierce flashes of lightning. The two
painters were seen making efforts to
lower their scaffold when a terrific
clap of thunder and a binding fash Of
lightning left the clouds and struck the
spire knocking away the scaffolding,
splitting the spire and leaving Somers
and Ford pinned to the roof dead. To
add to the awful scene. the clothing
of the two men was ignited by the
flash and for ten minutes the bodies
were seen burning and smoking in mid
air. Heavy rain finally extinguiShed
the flames and three hours later the
remains of the painters were brought
from the stseple charred and incinerat-
ed and almost unrecognizable. Every
hair on Somers' head was gone. but
there was no other evidences of the
Iightning's bolt on the body. Ford's
body was badly bruised and larcerated.

by the municipal band for the enjoy
ment OF the promenaders. A remark
able scene occurred during the after
noon, which seemed to be occasioned
boy a spontaneous movement of the
crowd.
Cries were raised fer the playing of
the national march by the band, and
the regular programme OF the concert
had to be interrupted to satisfy the de-
nands, so inportunate were the cries.
The crowd then proceeded in a body to
the French consulate, where deputa-
ton entered to express sentiments of
friendship and eSteam for France. The
people here are confident IN their be-
lief that France is pledged To assist
Spain in a possible conflict with the
United States.
Five thousand persons outside were
meanwhile cheering for Spain, Weyler

The American consulate and the chief
thoroughfares of the city were guarded
by gendarmes as precautionary mea-
sure. But there was no attempt at

NEW YORK, March 22.-Politicians
from all parts of the state are gather
ing in this city to attend the Republi-
can state convention which convenes
at the Grand Central palace on Tues
day. A number of leaders were busy
today arrang-lg the preliminaries of

Cornelius Parsons, of Rochester.
A Mckinley mass meeting has been
arranged for tomorrow night, and it is
understood there is a movement on
foot to turn the last session of the
convention into mass meeting in
honor of Governor Mortons presidential
candidacy. 1t is announced tonight
that the delegates at large will prob
